About this sound

The Onion Knight hmm from Dark Souls 3 is Siegward's thoughtful pondering sound, used for thinking, waiting and stuck-on-a-puzzle reaction moments.

This is the short pondering hmm made by the Onion Knight in Dark Souls 3, the Catarina knight Siegward as he stops to think through a problem. It is a low, muffled vocal sound, more thoughtful than surprised, with that slightly comical seriousness the character is known for. The clip works because the pause feels weighty even though nothing dramatic is happening. Played over a character staring at a puzzle, a locked door or a bad plan, it turns a quiet moment of indecision into a small, recognisable joke about thinking very hard and getting nowhere.

Pro tip

Place the hmm right after your character stops moving and stares at the problem, then hold the frozen frame for half a second. Pair it with a slow zoom in, and avoid music underneath so the thoughtful pause stays the whole joke.

How people use it

Drop it when a game character stares at a locked door.
Use it for reactions to confusing puzzles and bad plans.
Add it before a hero announces a very questionable idea.
Play it during long pauses while someone pretends to think.
