lore-wise, morgott is basically gwyndolin if gwyndolin didn't bother setting up an order of knights and a web of lies to defend the remains of the age of fire, and instead just _personally_ went out and merc'd every single fucking person who he deemed a threat

In his remembrance it says “He loved not in return, for he was never loved, but nevertheless, love it he did.” Born a graceless omen, he was not graced by the erdtree nor loved by his kins. Nevertheless he took it on his own to protect the erdtree while his siblings were warring for the throne. He was perhaps the most lovable demigods afterall.

“Have it writ upon thy meager grave. Felled by king morgot, Last of all kings” that line just hits

_This Great Rune is the anchor ring that houses the base, and proves two things:_ _That the Omen King was born of the golden lineage, and that he was indeed the Lord of Leyndell._

"The thrones, stained by my curse. Such shame I cannot bear" that line hits so hard when you know that omen children like him were basically executed or kept hidden to avoid shame. he grew up with everyone in the royal family hating him and wishing he was never born but he still defended the erdtree nonetheless.

Morgot’s voice acting is some of the best I’ve ever seen/heard in a video game. My man put his entire Shakespearean soul into that character Morgot. It’s really well done. He’s my favorite great enemy.

anyone else started getting the chills when morgott started mentioning the names of the demigods one by one? and we see their thrones, felt like a badass knowing that we already smoked some or most of them to get there.

I love that he calls him "Godrick the golden" instead of "Godrick the grafted". It's clear he had a lot of respect for everyone

I honestly love that Margit is the boss who beats everyone’s ass at the beginning of the game, and he’s also the one to come back and do it again later on

So his 'disguise' was changing his name from Morgott the Omen King to Margit the Ill Omen. Nice one, King.

I like how concerned he was about the floor getting dirty in the middle of his greatest fight.

Morgott has the best intro cutscene in FromSoftware history and is probably the character with my favourite voice actor. *"Thy part in this shall not be forgiven"* always gives me goosebumps.

So essentially the king of the capital, protector of the Erdtree, decided to move his ass to Limgrave one day and wail on some random Tarnished with a stick?

after beating the game, this is still honestly one of my favorite fights in the whole game, it was so badass and unexpected to see margit return as king of the capitol, and the fight was a lot more fun than the first encounter

Moveset wise, this guys is the coolest boss in the game hands down.

Gosh. That ending where it’s softly raining with the sad music humming in the back…paired with Morgott’s dialogue…that was so sad. I think he just became one of my favorite characters. So different from his brother Mohg.

I absolutely love how Morgott addresses Radahn's throne. He seems neutral with all bar Rykard - who he addresses with a sound of disgust and disdain - but he addresses Radahn with respect. It's almost as if Morgott knows of how noble Radahn was and the cruel nature of his fate

so sad hearing the self loathing in his voice when he switches into phase 2. he is convinced his existence is such a sin in of itself that his very blood is an affront to the ground he holds sacred. fantastic character

It is interesting the way he says everyone's names during the cutscene. He says Godrick, Miqulla, and Malenia's names very matter-of-fact. General Radahn's name is said almost like he is pleased and has a sense of respect for him. Rykard is said with disdain or disgust. Finally, Ranni is said with either a sense of curiosity, intrigue, or is just matter-of-fact, it is hard to say. Interesting detail because of how much it says about how he sees each of them which is what I love about Fromsoft's games.

Morgott/margit still remains my favorite fight in this game. It has that all put brawl feeling where both of you are just slugging it out trading blows where ever you can.

Our good friend Morgott here has just opened his first ever CSGO case and got a knife skin. And He's eager to try it out.

I just realized that when he says “The thrones…stained by my curse…such shame I cannot bear. _Thy part in this shall not be forgiven.”_ he’s speaking literally, not figuratively. I assume Morgott was trying to keep his Omen Curse in check, but after being hurt this much, he lost control of it, and the curse flooded the arena, literally staining the thrones that were sitting there with his Curse; something he never wanted, and probably deems as horribly disrespectful and disgraceful. He’s saying _”You made me do this. How dare you.”_

I think it’s really interesting when he says embolden by the flame of ambition then ignites his weapon into its true form. Almost show how when you fought him at the start he was merely keeping watch so others don’t get to meet the other lords. However here they are all gone with him being the last that pride and ambition growing taking him over and giving him strength which is the thing he criticized you for at the start. Side note he sounds genuinely angry this time where as the first time it sounded like he was going through the motions.

I swear the only thing that keeps Morgott from joining, or possibly even surpassing such legendary From Software bosses like Artorias, Lady Maria or Gael, is that chances are most people fight him very overleveled because of the sheer amount of content Elden Ring's mid-game has. Everything about this boss is absolute perfection, which just makes me wish all the more that Elden Ring's bosses, at least the main story ones, scaled with the player's level to some extent, to balance out them possibly being really overleveled due to the open-world format.

I love that you can clearly see at 0:05 that Morgott wasn’t sitting on throne but walking down steps. It really shows that he didn’t actually see himself as a king or ruler and merely saw himself as a guardian, waiting for Godfrey to return as lord

I just knew there was something really fishy about Margit. You get this boss with amazing powers completely odd design as an early game encounter? I totally thought at that point that they could have "saved" the fight for later on in the game. Well, turns out they did 😅

Incredible! This King actually summoned Swords of Revealing Light!!

1:40 I love how this shot is the exact same of the one when we fight Margit and he says "let it he Margit the fell" showing the tarnished face to face with Margit/Morgott, setting up one of the greatest duels in the game

There is a point outside of the castle where you can suddenly hear Morgott's voice, and a random commoner transforms into Margit. At first I thought, the fight is just a reuse of the model but it's more than that, Morgott sends copys of himself out into the world. His brother might have one as well, if you think about it.

I’m at this guy right now, fighting him is such an adrenaline rush and every time you dodge his attacks it feels so satisfying

I loved this fight honestly, I loved his moves and his mechanics. RIP Omen King

You can say what you want about from Softwares games BUT the Voice acting is ALWAYS. PURE. GOLD

Morgott is the definition of honor. Despite never having a single soul shed love or respect on him, he was the only demigod to carry the legacy of the Erdtree. HE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE BLESSINGS FROM THE ERDTREE OR HIS FAMILY AND STILL protected the name and reputation of BOTH with grace and all the power he could muster. Living out his true destiny unlike everyone else who threw all their previous ambitions aside and lived in chaos however they pleased under no order. Even if no one agreed, if Morgott knew he was right he stood his ground. There’s even a cut scene where it looked like he had a blade shanked into General Radahn; probably one of the few times he ever had an upper hand on him but it shows how bold he is to stand up to even the most commanding and robust warriors. Morgott was a G. A real one. ✊🏽

just want to add: thanks to VA for the amazing job. every line by Morgott is pure gold and his distress about his curse between phases 1 and 2 is heart wrenching. you deserve so much better than this life gave you, king

0:41 that's a tiny chair for Radhan. Guess he also used gravity not to break it.

The people at fromsoft must have a field day coming up with bosses and their movesets

Anthony Howell (Morgott's VA) nailed every subtle emotions Morgott tried to convey in declaring each throne's respective owners. Try listening to it more carefully: Godrick The Golden: longing, like he misses an old friend that is no more. Fitting, since Godrick and Morgott are both the black sheep of their respective families, and both are seeking some sort of recognition to a degree. The Twin Prodigies, Miquella and Malenia: sadness, almost parental in nature. I like how he slightly quivers when he said "twin", since Miquella and Malenia are nothing alike. General Radahn: respect, militari-esque. Like a soldier reciting the name and title of his superior officer. Praetor Rykard: disgust. He knows what Rykard has become and what he did to get into that state. Morgott and the other Shardbearers clung to their respective Great Runes dearly, while Rykard threw it away by his own volition. Lunar Princess Ranni: very, *very* subtle tint of hate. Venomous. I take it Morgott knew at least some of what Ranni did behind the others' backs, and he hated her for it. Howell needs to lend his voice to more characters. That man's crazy talented.

"Thy kind are all of a piece. Pillagers. Emboldened by the flame of ambition. Have it writ upon thy meager grave: Felled by King Morgott! Last of all kings." gawd DAMN

I love Morgott’s respect for his siblings. He cares for them in a way. He’s the only one to call Godrick by his true title. He doesn’t even really hate you. In the end, when he’s talking to you, you are both being stopped from proceeding. It’s kind of sad. What a great character.

The way he changed and skillfully used these weapons like Soul Of Cinder but then that spinning in the air and land down to strike so beautiful like Gael.

So he is gundyr of this game , but he was already insane in the first fight

IMO Him and Mohg stole the show in terms of antagonists, amazing characters with amazing backstories and fights. Wish they gave Morgott some more HP though.

He honestly needs like double the amount of health he currently has, one of the best bosses ever but he just dies too fast to fully appreciate it

Know with the dlc trailer release, we know why we can see a gap on the left between the thrones. There is a space left for Messmer

I love the way he addresses the thrones, his voice acting is movie level good. Just want to point out what he thinks of the characters based on his lines. He address’s godrick as unimportant which godrick kind of is in the respect of the game He address’s miquella and melania with honor most likely because he respects melania as a swordsman. He addresses radahn with respect as if speaking to old hero but also recognizes the bitterness of his fate He address’s rykard with distain most likely because he is against the order and committed the act of blasphemy for power Then finally address’s ranni like a child as if something to be protected and respected After this he then declares them traitors really telling you how much he maintains his resolve even though his emotions respond differently, what a dedicated man.

0:49 i just realized after watching again, Ranni has smallest size throne between all of demigods .

The way that he pronounced their names just show's how he feels about them. They're all were guided and loved by the grace and their parents, but still Decided to betray them for the throne and power. but he who was hated and called a graceless omen, decided to stay and protect it.

This man’s poise is next level

Fighting Margit/Morgott for the second time is the most epic moment I've had in this game so far.

Out of all of the Demigods, Morgot might be the most honorable demigod out of them all. With most of them being power-hungry like Godrick and Rykard or succumbing to Scarlet Rot like Radahn, Morgot stayed away from the war and defeated Radahn and Godrick's army. Despite being despised by many except Godfrey, he stood his ground as the king even if the Erd Tree Rejected him. It was fatalism that led to his fall. So he is truly the last of all kings.

Such a great fight Morgott is. His moveset is probably the best in the game.

I really wish we could get some of Morgott's faith based summoned weapons, that'd be hype asf

This fight looks so intense, I can’t wait to fight him.

That begining cutscene gave me serious Genryuusai Yamamoto vibes

Favorite boss in the game for me. His expanded moveset is amazingly cool, his emotions during the encounter are so visceral (more than any other boss, he really REALLY wants you dead), and the music and sudden spike in challenge are just brilliant.

Absolutely love Margit/Morgott, a master mentor who specialized on making us stronger.

I went into this fight with Mimic Tear with a magic build and in the 10 seconds of time Mimic Tear buys I switched to my main melee build. And I’ve got to say, seeing the three of us throw around so much magic while crossing blades really made it look and feel like I was fighting the final boss.

This fight felt like we were being told “alright, show me what you’ve learned.”

I know Morgott hated us but goddamn do I love him. Complete badass

“Have it write upon thy meager grave” straight music to my ears

Is it just me or does anyone else like the way that the music syncs with Morgott’s attacks @2:56 - 3:00 ?

Probably my favorite boss in this game. He was so damn badass and one of the best bosses From Software has ever designed.

_"Have it writ upon thy meager grave. Felled by King Morgott, Last of All Kings!"_ And just like that, Morgott quickly ascended to my favorite character in the game.

I wished we could of gotten to use one of his golden weapon incantations as a remembrance power.

This is literally the hardest cutscene ever this dude slowly made his way up the demigods just to shit talk them all and claim himself as the only royalty with a brain remaining Have it writ upon my meager grave is the coldest line ever delivered

I never realized how good this boss’ soundtrack was

"Have it writen upon your meager grave. Felled by King Morgot! Last of all kings!" Badass.

His voice and dialogue sound so unique, he should’ve been the final boss

I beat this dude in two tries but he was definitely my favorite boss fight. Very intuitive and cool moveset, fair hitboxes, amazing voice actor. I just love him.

Morgott is running a split str/fth/dex/arc build, no wonder people are overlevelled for him, the guy doesn't have anything left for vig

Welcome to the “Oh you thought I was using my full power?” club, king. Go take a seat next to Gundyr and Father Owl.

Would've been my favorite boss fight in the game if not for Malekith, absolutely loved this fight. His dialogue when he's a withered corpse after you beat him made me tear up the first time, he's such a tragic character. Morgott is the Eddard Stark of Elden Ring

I hope this boss fight gets buffed a bit in the future. I feel like it's slightly too easy, considering the climactic nature of the fight. That said, it is still a fantastic fight, with an excellent atmosphere and a good presentation of Morgott's character.

I died the instant I killed Morgott. Luckily the game still gave me the win, however I didn't get to talk to him after he died. Glad I found this video, otherwise I would've missed this dialogue.

One of the best fights in any Fromsoft game. Absolutely epic. Right at the base of the Erdtree too.

I'm disappointed in myself for being over leveled for this fight, looks like it would've been really fun if I was a lower level.

Had to come back for 3:24

I did not know you can speak to him after besting him in the fight. I completely missed that 🤦🏼‍♂️

True elde king Morgott He loved not in return, for he was never loved, but nevertheless, love it he did. When the light shines from the Erdtree I guess your light come out there....,

"Have it writ upon thy meager grave." is such a raw line

"Pillagers emboldened by the flame of ambition" 🔥

I love the move he does with the big summoned magic hammer, where while you’re waiting for him to strike with the big obvious raised weapon, he sneaks in an attack with his other hand to catch you off guard. That one got me many times.

The VA does a phenomenal job with him, anger, somber, distain, and respect all bundled into one voice. And his scream of anger in phase 2 is so harrowing, reminds me of "UNLIMITED POWER."

It's so wholesome seeing the comments of everyone sharing their love for this guy

I think him shattering that cane followed by the sweep of the sword is literally the coolest thing I have ever seen in a video game

"The thrones... Stained by my curse. Such shame i cannot bear." When he said this... Is very sad knowing his lore, knowing how hated he was and how much he loved them all.

Come to think of, he is essentially embittered Gwyndolin left without any hope to restore good old days. And damn, the moment when Godfrey cradled his corpse later...

When he stopped me at Stormveil I hated his guts, mostly cuz he wiped the floor with me. Loved the fight but hated him. Then I get to the capital and it all shifted. He is honestly the best of the demigods. Even tho he was hated and never loved he did his damndest and put all his soul into protecting the erdtree. What a hero, I may have felled you, but you have my respect

I got him on my 2nd try once I pulled out the mimic. Kind of regret doing that and not just going one on one. He deserved that much, such an epic fight

He says Rykard's name with such disdain lmao

Crazy, look online for a boss fight of this and see people beeting him in no longer than 8 minutes and meanwhile it takes me 8 minutes to even hit second phase

"Let it be writ upon thy meagre grave: Felled by Morgott, last of all Kings" God this line is so fucking badass. Elden ring may be the most epic game I've ever played.

0:55 Sir, this is a Wendy's...

the moment he says "felled by king morgott, last of all kings" is one of the most badass moments in from games

Since we fight both Godfrey and Morgott I'd like to proudly day that Morgott grew into just as great as a warrior as his father. His speed and ferocity combined with masterful precision and such grace makes him one of my favorite bosses. It only heightens the tragedy to think of Godfrey returning to the lands between and learning what a true warrior the son he left behind had become only to find him dead by our hand. Godfrey sounds almost on the verge of tears when he's cradling Morgott's body. Its a wonder he even decided to fight us honorably instead of tearing us to shreds where we stood. Its a damn tragedy 2 great warriors had to fall at the foot of the Erdtree.

Anyone notice how the way his staff shattered in the opening cinematic changed? It went from bursting with flames and red energy to now just the outer shell crumbling away (without the glowing and other effects).

One of my favourites, love the lore of this tragic bastard, and the fight is amazing. It feels like he has an answer to anythjng you can do, but also feels like you can answer back in turn. Especially fun on a faith build, swapping between melee and punishing his disengage with fireballs.

Poor Morgott!! He didn't deserve any of this!! He protected Lyndell castle not to get love in return, but because he loved the Erdtree and was willing to protect it with a passion, because he was an omen he was born graceless, shunned by literally everyone, but Morgott protected Lyndell, he protected the Erdtree, because someone had to, even though he hated what he was, even though he was cursed at birth, Morgott still did it. In my opinion that in of itself was worthy of grace.... Morgott is my Favorite character, second is General Radahn, then Mohg Lord of Blood...

Love this voice actor's work. Especially how he says Pryke Rykard with such disdain.

Morgott is such an entertaining fight to watch. Definitely one of the best and can be the hardest. It’s just a shame that most people are usually over levelled when fighting him on their first play through. I know I was. He’s constantly doing flips and somersaults and putting pressure on the player. He follows his attacks up with others and he mixes them up well. Definitely an S tier fight in my opinion.
