Midra only number 8? The Depths of your Foolishness!

Dancing lion theme in the HM? wtf bro

midra at number 8? i genuinely think he's top 10 OSTS in all of fromsofts games

Midra CANNNOT be that low bro must've been high.

Dancing Lion being outside the top 10 speaks volumes to how fucking good this OST is.

Forgot about the extra stuff for Bayle's theme- *CURSE YOU, BAAAAAAYLE!!* -Ah, there it is.

St Trina is just a 30 second walk from Putrescent Knight site of grace

"Like the DS3 classics like Sir Alonne"

messmer's theme is badass, so cool. Especially in the intro cutscene

Scadutree avatar phase 3 is by far one of my favorite songs for this game

Midra and Dancing Lion were the most memorable and amazing ones in my opinion

i love radahns theme because it does such a good job pumping you up right away after a defeat. first phase is so heroic

How is Midra not #1?

Midra's melody you pointed out is, actually, the violin song from the merchants stuck down the Leyndell Sewers, where you meet the Three Fingers

No shaman village is criminal

What sells Radahn’s theme as my favorite is the fact that it’s primary leitmotif is pulled directly from his original theme in the base game, specifically his 2nd phase. It kind of represents the fact that we’ve fought him before and are now facing him again, except this time it’s a fair fight.

Midra is by far the best in my opinion. It really scratches the bloodborne itch.

I feel attacked with Midra that low

Scadutree Avatar is my favourite boss and favourite ost from DLC. I just LOVE that Erdtree avatar leitmotif that plays at the end of the second phase and at the start of the third.

The Rellana theme has Hollow Knight vibes

Been waiting for you to upload this. Your insight on Gehrman's theme and the final boss first phase theme was an awesome catch, and as you said, I never heard this from anyone. I even think that the second phase of the final boss is the best song from any Fromsoft game. I'd include the dancing lion in my top 10 and probably rank Midra a bit higher. But the entire OST is on another level. There is no bad song in it.

Honestly Midra is my favourite OST I'm surprised it's this low. But I see comments agreeing so I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Dancing lion’s theme is my favorite, I’m surprised it didn’t make the actual list :0

god this DLC has such good music, and i love how you properly analyse the music! Midra's theme is so good!

The part that starts at 6:12 in this vid of Midra’s theme is one of my favorites of all time

I think I give my favorite to midra just sounds so ominous and creepy. W list as always keep up the great work!

Man I love you. You are one of the few I find, that appreciate the music as much as I do. Only after this video I see now what the appeal of Mesmers theme and Radahn’s second phase is. Thx I also think I‘ll do another longer comment with a few of my opinions

Honestly, Metyr, Mother of Fingers might be one of if not my favorite songs from the DLC

Rominas theme fits more to Messmer giving the fact that this was playing in the Story trailer when Messmer was marching to the scadutree castle and burnt Everything down. But still my fav dlc Theme and a very good and Well done boss😮‍💨

I might not like how they have written Miquealla and the ending, but hot damn his theme is soo good. Deserved Nr.1

Overall this is my favorite OST they've ever done. They finally topped Bloodborne/DS3 for me

Midra that low means youre wrong by default

Midra and radahns osts are definitely the new best in elden ring and the first elden ring osts to crack my top favorite fromsoft themes. They just hold such a high bar with da3 and bloodborne and armored core games

messmer's boss cutscene is now one of my favorites along with lady maria's cutscene and ludwig's second phase cutscene and its made even better with the beginning music

This video was awesome! Also I think some of the tracks had some kind of dark souls 2 feel to them? I dunno but I felt that way, anyway goated vid!🎉

Cool video! I was wondering, between Ds3 and Elden Ring, which OST do you prefer? I can't exactly put my finger on why but Ds3's feels more memorable and a little bit more thoughtfully composed.

the dancing lion switching between forms in combination with the specific part of the ost where it completely escalates turned the fight into one of my fav ER fights

They cooked with the music in this DLC, absolutely phenomenal, I already got my favorites in any FROM’s games just from this DLC.

Do you have a backround in music? The way you talk about music makes me wonder is why I ask. Great video! 😊

Radahn's theme is genuinely so good. The first phase feels like a return of a hero. The second phase actually sounds holy. The final part of the 2nd phase is just fucking amazing. It's definitely my favorite ost in the dlc.

Nightwalk I'll come back to the video later because I still haven't finished everything but did you see Lupines latest one on soundscapes and the ER soundtrack? I think you'd enjoy it.

I didn’t quite realize who I was looking at during that initial shot at Radahn’s boots, until the strings came in with half of the closing motif of the original score. I proceeded to absolutely lose my fucking mind from that point

First off, not having the dancing lion theme on the list proper is criminal behaviour. But seriously the DLC soundtrack is outstanding. I especially love how it’s used leitmotifs from the base game for multiple foes. Really isn’t something that happens minus Lawerence, Gwynn and Nashandra (lemme know if I missed something cos I’m stoopid ). Fav is defo Messmer’s theme which has become my new hyperfixation, love how subdued but intense it is and the fact it’s a corruption of the main/Radagon’s theme is fantastic but the final boss theme is beautiful, powerful and iconic. I appreciate the variety in vibes as well it’s not all the usual choral chants, horns and strings (although they’re also here and they’re awesome)

Those United In Common Cause is one of, if not the greatest musical achievement in the franchise so far (in my opinion) While i love the characters in these games, i have never liked going through their questlines themselves. I think we may all agree that a questline being ruined because you didnt speak to a character in a specific point in time, only to find them dead (or gone) later, is very frustrating and tedious. The quests in this DLC were no different, and i didnt want to ruin them so i checked a guide. It was tedious as usual, but the characters were very likeable (especially Ansbach) Yes i knew the fight was coming, i knew it would be an npc gank which i hate, i knew what characters would be on my side, and what rewards I'd get; so i was just expecting to get it done and move on when the time came. Never did i expect the fight to have dialogue between all these characters, and most definitely didnt expect that incredible music. Without the song, it would have been a cool moment but nothing special, especially since i knew it was coming. But with its inclusion, it elevated this event to being one of my favorite moments in the whole franchise. There might be more grandiose pieces for the bosses in general, like Radagon, the Soul Of Cinder, Gael or Ludwig. Those pieces elevate what is already a great fight into monumental levels. There have also been instances of crappy bosses having bangers, but most dont remember them because its attached to a bad fight. This piece is attached to a lackluster encounter (mechanically speaking), but the way it accentuates the stakes of it, the fact thst most of these characters will die in this fight, it just makes it such an emotional and memorable moment. Thats why this track is so incredible and my favorite in Elden Ring as a whole.

Fun fact: number 6/Rominas theme is the same song used in the story trailer for Elden Ring SOE.

Yaaay I love a good music theme video!

Fun fact: the twin moon knights theme is the remix of the soe trailer theme

I feel like Leda’s theme is perfect for what I feel was the coolest boss in the DLC

My personal favourite is still the dancing beast ost because it is the only ost in the dlc that when second phase hit and the music ramped up I literally froze in place to just listen to the song. This to say all the themes in this vid is still absolute bangers!

Phase 2 Radahn / Miquella OST is possibly the best piece of music ever made tbh

Promised consort phase 2 and midra phase 2 are among my favorite in from soft history. Absolutely amazing

Wait... your fought putrescent knight but haven't found st trina?

2:20 Some St Trina lore: I think she is the other side of Miquella, like Radagon and Marika are together one person. Miquella abandoned that side of himself (St Trina), as it's said in the DLC trailers.

I want the full trailer OST to be released, that went so hard

bayle at 5 is sinister.

I really loved Leda and the group’s theme. That’s my all number one fav. Hearing it first time and fighting them was really emotional and powerful. Just reminding me of fighting Lady Maria and Gerhman the hunter. ❤also really loved your music! Please send the link 😊🎉❤❤❤

Did you not kill putrescent knight? St Trina is found in the cave immediately after

Dam Night still can't believe you haven't beaten him yet, you are a good player you got this. I beat 6 times solo, I think he's so hard I can't beat him without bleed or frost one day though.

I thought Metyrs theme was really good. I don't know how to describe it but that very grand feeling but also like tender sounding. It then becomes every ominous and fits the cosmic horror entity it is. Was overall very good for the mother of fingers

When prime Radahns second phase hits: I aaam Chooclaaaate

Dancing Lion below Jori, which is IMO an extremely forgettable song is wild

Shaman village hits different

I haven't listened to everything the soundtrack has to offer yet as I just finished my first playthrough almost entirely guideless. But from this experience my top 3 would be right now: 1 Promised Consort theme 2 Midra, lord of of Frenzied Flame (how could you put him so low) 3 Those united in common cause

Radahn from The House Velaryon, also Bayle's theme also has something from Game of Thrones + Bayle=Balerion Igon=Aegon... it all coming together GRM

Fun fact if you didn't know that violin on midras ost is the same that the frenzied merchant is playing

Romina is #1 for me, simply beautiful.

I think Messmer’s ost is up there with themes of Lady Maria, Slave Knight Gael, and Ludwig as one of the best soundtracks FromSoft has ever made. And thank god it’s attached to such a genuinely exhilarating boss fight

Aw my favorite didn't make the cut lol. I adore the Mother of Fingers theme. It follows in the footsteps of the Ebrietas theme in that it mixes rapture with horror, though I think Mother of Fingers surpasses its predecessor.

Anyone else's main dissapointment with this dlc the fact we didn't get the theme from the first trailer as a full theme for a boss? Admittedly, there are some parts or Rellana's theme that sound very similar to it, but the fact we didn't get a full version of that theme is going to annoy me for the rest of my life.

Honorable mention for Dancing Lion?

At least im not alone in thinking Midra was one of the best in the game

Wasn't Elden Ring's soundtrack composed by a live orchestra? The Budapest Film Orchestra? Pretty sure it's not digital except for a few exceptions. Don't know about the DLC tho.

The boss’s theme better be god-tier you’re gonna die 1000 times having to listening to it

I agree with most of this list but I would personally move messers theme a little lower as I personally don’t find it as memorable as say rellana’s theme. I would also have put dancing lion over petruescent knight or the dungeon ost

st trina´s theme kinda fits with the scadutree avatar haha

Ur song sound very peaceful

I’m unable to enjoy radahns thems as much I’d like because of how much I dislike his fight and listening to the soundtrack just reminds me of it, but oh my this is probably this most epic theme since Gaels phase 3

St. Trina isnt a boss, personally I would put Midras theme a lot higher just for the nod to the base game frenzied flame song about 3 minutes in, also I dont know if the audio you got for it in the video was altered somehow, but I swear it sounds way better than that in game. Radahn does go crazy though, I remember the first time I beat him, he went into his meteor at the end of the fight, and right when he landed is when that climactic part of the song played from the story trailer and it was so cool

Metyr theme underrated

St Trina is #2, and Promised Consort is #1 for me

Absolute top tier tracks man, Fromsoftware cooked their hardest in this DLC imo. Scadutree avatar deserves a spot here, mainly cuz of the 2nd and 3rd phase and how sad and desperate it sounds.

Your list is nearly the complete opposite of mines But I respect all of your choices (dancing lion was the most questionable though) But I respect that you respected all of the osts

I love Dancing Lion.

Dancing is the top 1 lol

we all know the best banger is gaiuss

my personal number 1 is the divine dancing lion theme, soo good

Nice top, but I would definitely swap Relanna and Midra

Midra made me lose my mind with how terrifyingly good the OST was (Pun intented).

Radahn, Dancing Lion and Midra top 3

Romina is #1

St.Trina is not a boss theme Also Bayle only being 5th is a crime, the start of the phase transition is one of the best themes in the game

I know it's your opinion, but Midra 8 really?

Promised Consort #1 is based fr. Easily my #1 too, and that Phase 2 switch? Come ONNNNNN freaking outstanding. About the Dancing Lion theme, it IS really cool but it’s pretty far down my list too because of how convoluted it gets at times; too much happening at once and there’s not a whole lot of things to grasp on to. A whole lot of sound with too MUCH substance. Not that it’s bad, it’s easily an 8/10 which is still a testament to how incredible the music and ambience of the DLC is.

Bayle number 1 best boss best ost just amazing 10/10

oh my god you people. Those united by common cause is not a boss theme. It doesn't play where there is a boss health bar at the bottom of the screen and therefore is not a boss theme.

Divine beast would least be top 5 in my opinion. It reminds me of a monster hunter OST. But I do like the list.

best theme music i ever heard was from zinorge in mhw thats shit hits

I find it interesting how many leitmotifs and themes from other bosses they weaved into this OST. You can hear the frenzied flame merchants theme during Midra’s fight as you pointed out, Romina you can hear Malenia’s theme, and Rellana you can hear Rennala. Edit: I see you pointed out the Malenia relation too… probably should’ve watched the full vid before commenting lol.

4:38, strongly disagree on the mixing take, I think elden rings mixing sounds infinetly better than previous titles (probably cause its done by a live choir and orchestra), especially much better than DS3's awful mixing, the by far weakest aspect of that OST (just listen to the wind instruments they sound awful). LupineOS has a great video on the topic, I don't agree with his conclussion but I think his part on the mixing is spot on.

You know Yuka Kitamura can still and most likely will produce soundtracks for Fromsoftware right? She is just becoming a freelancer
