Technically Omen Illusions is half of Mohg, Lord of Blood and not the actual song. Still listening to the video so I don't know if that gets resolved at some point, so forgive me
@@destinystriumph1573 Omen Illusion is an actually it's own song. It's as you said, the first part of Mohg, Lord of Blood, except it lacks the vocals, it's purely instrumental, other than that it's basically identical.
The Final Battle is so iconic because it brings in the game's theme that you hear every time you boot it up into a climax. It was an awesome insertion and it hit hard.
It's fitting too because it brings everything full circle. Marika created the Tarnished when she removed grace from Godfrey and his warriors and turned them against the Golden Order. You are a descendant of those warriors. You defeat Godfrey--your forefather--and prove that you have surpassed your ancestors, and fight Radagon...who IS Marika, but also the embodiment of the Order.
It's actually even more common than that. Because I'm pretty sure that this is also essentially a rearrangement of the Demon Souls Main theme, which is also the theme of Demon's Souls final boss (False King Allant). They reused it as the ER main theme. I also think (but I'm not sure) that they used the ER main theme in both Margit's and Morgott's theme, where I think its first notes are repeated by the brass instruments in the background throughout the track. I might be wrong about that one though.
The reason why Godfrey's phase themes differ so much is because of what happens inbetween the phases in the game itself, the fight and the character completely turn on their heads
Placidusax hits twice as hard when the music cuts out on his lightning nuke attack and when the ph2 transition happens on his divebomb attack. Biggest "ohshitohshitohshit" moment of the playthrough for me
his divebombs are actually scripted, the first three ones will always be the same and based on HP the first one is the the phase 2 transition, the second one is him flying away and shitting out lightning on the way, and we all know what the 3rd divebomb is...
The Regal Ancestor Spirit is such a beautiful piece. Among the heart-pounding orchestras and choirs of death, it's refreshing to have something more serene and almost sad as you face a creature older than the Erdtree.
@@ates423 both composed by Kitamura btw, so it's not surprising they share a similar sense of serenity and majestic feeling. Kitamura did a lot of this in Sekiro as well, which is why Regal Ancestor Spirit theme can be seen as reminiscent of the Divine Dragon theme.
I saw that Dark Souls and Bloodborne are on the list of upcoming reactions, can’t wait for those. Yuka Kitamura one of the composers for Elden Ring produced some amazing tracks for Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne.
Hearing the music change whilst playing the Godfrey fight: "this makes sense" Just hearing the music change on its own: "wait wtf is this a different boss?"
Final battle or Godskin apostles these two are my favourites to be honest. To bad I was too busy trying to learn patterns and not die to fully appreciate them.
Godskin apostles is phenomenal! Other than that, Malekith's is amazing and Mogh Lord of Blood gives me goosebumps (although phase transition loses a lot of oomph without Mogh shouting "NIHIL!")
Tbh godskin apostles theme stick out way more than the rest, not that it outclasses every other theme (kinda does tho) but the reserved and quick attacks from the godskins (and usually players refusing to brawl it out with them)make the arena quiet often, enough to let you hear the track.
@@iamMildlyUpsetWithMostOfYouTub the final boss theme sticks with me cause (1) you hear it in the cutscenes, (2) it took me 7-8 hours to beat, and (3) the final boss is so powerful in the second phase that when energy blasts happen the already quiet music starts phasing out from the impact which is a really nice touch.
@@iamMildlyUpsetWithMostOfYouTub I loved the godskin theme simply because when you fight them for the final time at farum azula, the second phase adds so much more impact making it super memorable while hyping you up because you are almost at the end of the game.
Basically, the first phase of Godfrey's theme shows his Godfrey persona, the identity he took up when he rose to power, burying his past to becoming someone suitable for royalty. But his second phase removes that identity, with Hoarah Loux being his true face, a barbarian who loves to battle.
Not just loves to battle, but has such an intense and feral NEED to fight the literal king of beasts needs to actively suppress his strength and bloodlust so his dignity and sanity remain intact.
I think the reason why rennala’s phase 2 theme is so different is because the lore attached to it. The tarnished meets Rennala in this state of limbo, or slumber, due to her previous grievances. Ranni, her daughter, saw that the tarnished was trying to kill Rennala. Before the tarnished could, Ranni sent out an illusion or spectral projection of her mother at the height of her power for the tarnished to fight. Not only as a warning to not kill her mother, but to show the tarnished that her mother isn’t someone to take lightly, despite how she may appear to us. In the end, we end up not killing Rennala but rather bringing her out of her state of limbo. Most boss themes have a very grand, powerful, ominous, or terrifying atmosphere to it. The theme for Rennala was designed that way to feel a lot more personal. This guy is a great musician for noticing the difference 1:23:50

After fighting Mogh, his theme really stuck with me. Probably my favorite theme in the game. On another note, you should totally react to the Hytale ost.
The music just fits his character perfects, like if you played through the game on mute then blind listened to the soundtrack you would almost certainly link Mohg to his theme.
Goes harder than most Main bosses themes and they don't even have much to do with the story directly. It's ridiculous and obvious what the Devs favorite ones were lol.
I really like the first phases intro. It sounds similar to the raven beak theme from Metroid dread, one of my favourite boss themes ever. Considering that he is also the final boss of that game, it fits even more.
1:08:05 Radahn has power over gravity, and somehow his power is so big, that the stars feared him and some even disappeared from the sky, and falling stars where kept stuck in the sky. Hes also a 20ft tall warrior, dying and out of himself because he is diseased, but still, he was powerful enough to keep the stars at bay, and to jump into space to fall like a meteor. Now the best part. Want to know why he got this powers? He studied it because despite his size and weight, he didn't wanted to abandon his beloved childhood friend: A skinny steed named Leonard.
The theme of elden lord changes so much between first and second phase because he first fights you as a noble lord and second fights you as a bloodthirsty warrior
If you absolutely loved these tracks from Elden Ring, then you'll likely come to enjoy the ones from a few of Fromsoft's other games such as Dark Souls 3, and Bloodborne. Fromsoft like to follow a sort of philosophy that their music would often better portray what they should for the moment, mainly the bosses themselves. Every song is carefully catered to better tell the light of the boss. Their story, and their significance to that moment. As to be expected, some take a bit more of a push to get that last bit of their story out of their mouth as they go either more enraged, desperate, or become more bare with us. I primarily suggest those two as they're two of the fuller set without anything less of inspiring. Could argue maybe Sekiro also into that list, but I personally don't get as musically hyped for Sekiro tracks, even though I agree certain ones were certainly quite enjoyable in their respective moments such as Lady Butterfly.
Although Elden ring music was great from the beggining, what really made me appreaciate it was fighting Godrick the Grafter, suddenly getting silent, followed by the violin building gives me shivers.
I’ll never forget the final boss….I just beat Radagon in a raging fight after my 7th try, I was screaming with victory…then…….The Elden Beast emerged with full health and I wasn’t mad, I wasn’t shocked. I was in AWE. The music, the way the Elden Beast moved, had me in silence. When I died, I wasn’t mad, I was happy for how far I have come..the music helped me feel that way, idk if I’ll ever get this feeling again. To get it from a video game speaks volumes
The beast clergyman’s true name was “maliketh, the black blade” who controls destined death and wields his colossal greatsword infused with the rune of death (destined death) like a dagger, his name meaning “death of the Demi-gods” and beat the original holder of destined death with some rocks and his withered dagger.
This is not true. Maliketh is Marika’s shadow. Like how Blaidd is Ranni’s shadow. Marika removed the Rune of Death from the Elden Ring and gave it to Maliketh to ensure the god’s safety. There was no previous owner of the rune of death and Maliketh only uses the rune of death in his second phase, where it is infused in his greatsword. He never uses it “like a dagger” this comment is strange asf lol.
@@tgadin No we know he's her half brother, and he beat the previous wielder of the rune. The shadow thing is just trying to purposely read overly into it despite what they explicitly tell you
@@tgadin dude what do you cant understand? He said he use it LIKE a dagger because look at his moov. This guy is flying with a greatsword. Also what he said is true maliketh beat gloam eyed queen and he never said that maliketh isnt the shadow of marika. Read correctly next time
To be honest I'm surprised that this guy haven't reacted yet to Splatoon 1 or 2 OST, the guitars and syths are so sick and kinda all of the songs are just bangers
Favorite fight Dragonlord Placidusax he’s just so cool. That’s it. He’s so dang cool. Favorite theme it’s a toss up between Mohgs and Malikeths but both are absolutely amazing.
Awesome stuff, I loved hearing you perspective on the various boss themes. Is there any one that you liked the most out of all of them? My favorite was Godfrey, he's an absolute Chad
My absolute favourite still is the final fight, Radagon + Elden Beast. There ain't nothing as out of world as these two back to back. At one moment you are fighting this glorious fight to finally turn it all upside down and the music just pumps so hard It feels heroic and like the players destiny. You come out victorious, only to face something out of your world. The music fades into this very calm and majestic harmony as you fight something far greater than yourself and everything you held to be important up to this point in the game. The music begins to make you feel like you are about to end something that is just not meant to be ended, but then the "plin plon" plays, paying homage to Gwyns theme all the way back from Dark Souls 1, reminding me of the journey it took to get to this exact moment, then the true final battle commences. I've never had a more personal connection to a bosses/games track than this one. This one is thematically rich, tells a story without words, calls you back to the beginning of your journey and makes you wonder if what you have done was truly the right way.
I just realized - I'm pretty sure anyways - that they used the same progression for Mohg and Morgott. Listen to Morgott's theme from where the music opens up (44:59) and hum the melody from Mohg's theme (53:37). There are also more similarities littered throughout the two tracks. I love this detail, considering they are twins.
Honestly I feel like a lot of the tracks blended together. I think dark souls 1 or bloodborne had the most unique tracks in their respective soundtracks.
@@Hobbes9 I thought so too at first, it's unlike Dark Souls III, where tracks are catchy for real. But give it a few listens - tracks will really open up, I'm sure
I'd like to throw out a recommendation for the 'Frostpunk' OST for a reaction stream, It's an absolutely fantastic game with an incredible soundtrack. For anybody who's never heard of the game or whatever, search for and try listening to 'The City Must Survive' as an example. All the tracks are superb, but that one especially so.
This was great! I always appreciate these videos! (even if I understand very little music theory wise) I’m personally really looking forward to the Risk Of Rain 2 ost! Keep up there great work!
Great video as always. Could you perhaps check out the ost for risk of rain 1 and 2 (including DLC) in the future? It’s one of my favorite ost and I’m sure you would enjoy it as well
People wondered but never questioned “why is Radagon’s boss theme the main theme?” The truth is, Radagon is dead, his corpse was simply revived to fight us. No… It is us who the theme plays for
the main theme of the game is radagon and elden beast's theme combined. you can hear the harp at the beginning of the main theme, which transitions into radagon's theme i don't think it's meant to have any lore significance, but i guess you could say it represents how the elden beast is puppeteering radagon
It's just a tradition. They did this before in Demon Souls and allegedly wanted to do something similar in the original plans for DS3. Radagon's/ER's main theme is incidentally a rearrangement of the Demon Souls main theme.
Many of these are two separate tracks with different names, second phases change everything. Malenia, blade of Miquella changes to Malenia, goddess of rot. Beast Clergyman changes to Maliketh, the Black Blade. Godfrey, first Elden Lord changes to Hoarah Loux. Then the final battle is a mix of Radagon of the Golden Order with Elden Beast.
I was surprised at how little commentary you had about Malenia's theme! I could see you really getting emotional and going through that journey on it. I'm biased admittedly (it's probably my favorite track in the game), but did you have any particular thoughts/feelings on it? Keep up the great work, love the channel.
It’s honestly amazing how the themes can truly detail how the bosses are. Like everytime he analyzes a boss theme you can see how they translate or compare to the actual boss himself.
A bit late, but I'd highly recommend listening to Rogue Legacy 2's ost. It's a fairly new game but its soundtrack is incredible. My personal favorites are "The New World Army" and "Immortal Cain." Guitar is also present.
In my time playing Elden Ring, the Godskin Apostle & its theme have been my favorite fight and theme so far. The music perfectly fits the fight and is generally really good, and the fight itself is super satisfying to me since the movements I made in response to their attacks came to me so naturally
I like that you pointed out the E flat minor similarity between the Godskins and the Black Knives, as they have quite an interesting connection in-game. (spoilers) The Godskins and the Black Knives both used Destined Death as methods to hunt gods. The Godskins had their Destined Death sealed away by Maliketh, which (I believe) causes the black-and-white Godskin flame we see in game. Meanwhile, the Black Knives used a fragment of Destined Death that they stole from Maliketh. Thus, it makes sense why their themes would be similar.
Lovely tunes. Games did an amazing improvement regarding soundtracks over the past. Also, really unpopular opinion here but I think you should check out the Soundtrack of Spirit of the North. Even in private it is worth it
Yo, if you liked these then i think you should check out some of Bloodborne's ost or Dark Souls. One can even argue that these two have better music than Elden Ring. Edit: all these titles come from the same director
I can very much suggest the soundtracks of Hyper Light Drifter and Metal Gear Rising: Revengance. Two very different games, with very different soundtracks!
Disasterpeace spazzed on the HLD OST, definitely suggest that as well. Some other indie game OSTs I would also suggest are Superbrothers: Swords and Sworcery, Outer Wilds, Death's Door, Sayonara Wild Hearts, Deadbolt, Hotline Miami, Fez, Katana Zero, Red Strings Club and if we stretch the definition of "indie" a bit, both the Ori OSTs are bangers as well.
About the halfway point of godskin apostles theme where it fades out for a second and comes back is the greatest bit of music I’ve ever heard in a fromsoft game. The entire song is absolutely amazing. That and the Radagon theme stand alone at the top for me.
Idk if this will be seen but an INCREDIBLE game with an INCREDIBLE OST you should check out is night In the woods, I swear you will not regret it and you could even check out the fan made musical like you did for undertale, the person who made the undertale musical sung in the night in the woods musical as well!
Interesting that you said Terraria Calamity is the favorite OST you've listened to on a personal level, when it's also one of your most viewed videos so far :)
Honestly bro the calamity fanbase is so ungrateful to the point where they drove off their main bragging point which was pretty much dokuro himself. Honestly the fanbase didn't deserve dokuro.
@@pootislord3112 estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo, muchos fans del Calamity dejaron de lado a Dokuro cuando gracias a él podemos reconocer y saber cual Boss es solo por su ost. Les dio una personalidad propia, por eso es de mis favoritos y uso muchas veces su ost en videos para la escuela o en videos para aquí youtube jajaja
@@mingQWERTY fans got impatient waiting for dm dokuro to make new songs for the mod and started harassing him to the point where he refused to make any more music for the mod
The Fire giant, last of his kind. Spellbound to forever tend to the flame of his forefathers. The player just sort of runs into him to access the Flame of Ruin, which the Fire giant is forced to protect at all cost and thus we have to fight him. The music definitely suits the fight and the story.

1:08:05 Radahn has power over gravity, and somehow his power is so big, that the stars feared him and some even disappeared from the sky, and falling stars where kept stuck in the sky.
Hes also a 20ft tall warrior, dying and out of himself because he is diseased, but still, he was powerful enough to keep the stars at bay, and to jump into space to fall like a meteor.
Now the best part. Want to know why he got this powers? He studied it because despite his size and weight, he didn't wanted to abandon his beloved childhood friend: A skinny steed named Leonard.
Leonard is the goat
@@TheFifthBanana01 no they are a horse
@@guntherhess227 goat = greatest of all time
@@guntherhess227 I love how you tried not to misgender a horse
The ultimate Gigachad Duo: General Radahn and Leonard.
i love how the live chat just starts chanting nihil when mogh's ost is being played XD
The theme of elden lord changes so much between first and second phase because he first fights you as a noble lord and second fights you as a bloodthirsty warrior
This guy has some of the most visceral facial expressions
its the almighty stankface, it's inescapable.
If you absolutely loved these tracks from Elden Ring, then you'll likely come to enjoy the ones from a few of Fromsoft's other games such as Dark Souls 3, and Bloodborne. Fromsoft like to follow a sort of philosophy that their music would often better portray what they should for the moment, mainly the bosses themselves. Every song is carefully catered to better tell the light of the boss. Their story, and their significance to that moment. As to be expected, some take a bit more of a push to get that last bit of their story out of their mouth as they go either more enraged, desperate, or become more bare with us. I primarily suggest those two as they're two of the fuller set without anything less of inspiring. Could argue maybe Sekiro also into that list, but I personally don't get as musically hyped for Sekiro tracks, even though I agree certain ones were certainly quite enjoyable in their respective moments such as Lady Butterfly.
Corrupted monk & Demon of hatred are up there with the rest of the best from tracks
We definitely need Bloodborne and Dark Souls III, ain't no way you're not gonna love that!
DS3 OST just diff
the face during godskin apostles is definitely the right one
With how awesome this reaction was, I'd love to see a reaction to Bloodborne OST. So dark yet so beautiful!
*Mohg, Lord of Blood*
"That's an ominous name"
That's an understatement
Also 1:19:53 *MAC AND CHEESE*
God everything about Fortissax is perfect. There are so many things that are going on in his theme and I just love listening to it.
Godrick, Mogh, Godskin, and Ancestor are probably my favorite. But Malenia is the one I listened to the most. 🥺
1:13:08 is the most epic, intense and emotional boss music I have ever heard. Goosebumps every time.
For me its gotta be at 11:00-13:30
Absolutely!
Although Elden ring music was great from the beggining, what really made me appreaciate it was fighting Godrick the Grafter, suddenly getting silent, followed by the violin building gives me shivers.
Man Rykard’s first phase music deserves so much more love for how amazing those climbing strings sound with the lone voice
>fortissax. Tried and true.
Lichdragon Fortisax is beyond comprehension
Godskin has to be my number one, with Fortisax being my number 2 and Mohg being my number 3.
You should do the OST's for Monster Hunter World Iceborne or Monster Hunter Rise! I find them incredible.
Yep! Especially All mother narwa ost
@@fede113 trash. MHW is best game. Go away!
I’ll never forget the final boss….I just beat Radagon in a raging fight after my 7th try, I was screaming with victory…then…….The Elden Beast emerged with full health and I wasn’t mad, I wasn’t shocked. I was in AWE. The music, the way the Elden Beast moved, had me in silence. When I died, I wasn’t mad, I was happy for how far I have come..the music helped me feel that way, idk if I’ll ever get this feeling again. To get it from a video game speaks volumes
I think the black knives ost is highly underrated...I love how scary and creepy, feeling it gives
The beast clergyman’s true name was “maliketh, the black blade” who controls destined death and wields his colossal greatsword infused with the rune of death (destined death) like a dagger, his name meaning “death of the Demi-gods” and beat the original holder of destined death with some rocks and his withered dagger.
This is not true. Maliketh is Marika’s shadow. Like how Blaidd is Ranni’s shadow.
Marika removed the Rune of Death from the Elden Ring and gave it to Maliketh to ensure the god’s safety. There was no previous owner of the rune of death and Maliketh only uses the rune of death in his second phase, where it is infused in his greatsword. He never uses it “like a dagger” this comment is strange asf lol.
@@tgadin Destined death = rune of death. Gloam eyed queen used to have destined death.
@@tgadin No we know he's her half brother, and he beat the previous wielder of the rune. The shadow thing is just trying to purposely read overly into it despite what they explicitly tell you
@@tgadin I said he used it like a dagger because of the way he swings his sword around in some of his attacks.
@@tgadin dude what do you cant understand? He said he use it LIKE a dagger because look at his moov. This guy is flying with a greatsword. Also what he said is true maliketh beat gloam eyed queen and he never said that maliketh isnt the shadow of marika. Read correctly next time
To be honest I'm surprised that this guy haven't reacted yet to Splatoon 1 or 2 OST, the guitars and syths are so sick and kinda all of the songs are just bangers
Favorite fight Dragonlord Placidusax he’s just so cool. That’s it. He’s so dang cool.
Favorite theme it’s a toss up between Mohgs and Malikeths but both are absolutely amazing.
the godskin's ost is so narcissistic, i vibed to it
narcist 🧛♂️
Awesome stuff, I loved hearing you perspective on the various boss themes. Is there any one that you liked the most out of all of them? My favorite was Godfrey, he's an absolute Chad
My absolute favourite still is the final fight, Radagon + Elden Beast. There ain't nothing as out of world as these two back to back. At one moment you are fighting this glorious fight to finally turn it all upside down and the music just pumps so hard It feels heroic and like the players destiny. You come out victorious, only to face something out of your world. The music fades into this very calm and majestic harmony as you fight something far greater than yourself and everything you held to be important up to this point in the game. The music begins to make you feel like you are about to end something that is just not meant to be ended, but then the "plin plon" plays, paying homage to Gwyns theme all the way back from Dark Souls 1, reminding me of the journey it took to get to this exact moment, then the true final battle commences.
I've never had a more personal connection to a bosses/games track than this one. This one is thematically rich, tells a story without words, calls you back to the beginning of your journey and makes you wonder if what you have done was truly the right way.
I just realized - I'm pretty sure anyways - that they used the same progression for Mohg and Morgott.
Listen to Morgott's theme from where the music opens up (44:59)
and hum the melody from Mohg's theme (53:37). There are also more similarities littered throughout the two tracks. I love this detail, considering they are twins.
A top notch ost, really varied and memorable
Honestly I feel like a lot of the tracks blended together. I think dark souls 1 or bloodborne had the most unique tracks in their respective soundtracks.
@@Hobbes9 I respectively disagree, it may just be me but I feel that exact way about Dark souls 1 and 2. Bloodborne’s is great tho.
@@Hobbes9 I thought so too at first, it's unlike Dark Souls III, where tracks are catchy for real. But give it a few listens - tracks will really open up, I'm sure
@@Hobbes9 I also disagree it is significantly more varied then the ds3 and ds2 ost for sure (ds3 ost is still a banger and ds2 one is nice)
@@Hobbes9 bloodborne ost i sfucking awesome, at least as good as ER if not better, but ds1 only had few really memorable moments
I would love to see your reaction to the game called "Dusk" it has GREAT soundtracks and the album is just sick .
Dusk goes crazy
You should listen to the tf2 soundtrack it is really good
I'd like to throw out a recommendation for the 'Frostpunk' OST for a reaction stream, It's an absolutely fantastic game with an incredible soundtrack.
For anybody who's never heard of the game or whatever, search for and try listening to 'The City Must Survive' as an example. All the tracks are superb, but that one especially so.
Both the Main Theme and TCMS are the best Frostpunk tracks in my opinion
A reaction to Sayonara Wild Hearts would be great! Like a Pop Album in the form of a game.
1:00:59 I start sweating really hard. Don't send me back in there.
The Elden beast theme is definitely one of the most calming things I’ve heard in the game
55:47 EPIC
Everything fun & game....
Then Hoarah Loux starts shaking the entire earth!
Erdtree avatar OST is heavily underrated, I was always thrilled to fight the avatars just to hear the music!
i love the person who shouted "DEMON SOULS THEME" during final battle
Bro the song of Lament and Honor are in there but not the song of Dispair?
This was great! I always appreciate these videos! (even if I understand very little music theory wise) I’m personally really looking forward to the Risk Of Rain 2 ost! Keep up there great work!
Great video as always. Could you perhaps check out the ost for risk of rain 1 and 2 (including DLC) in the future? It’s one of my favorite ost and I’m sure you would enjoy it as well
Godfrey’s theme hits hard when you meet him. The last two Demi gods left to fight for the ring, you, and Godfrey.
People wondered but never questioned “why is Radagon’s boss theme the main theme?”
The truth is, Radagon is dead, his corpse was simply revived to fight us.
No… It is us who the theme plays for
Uh, no? One thing dont have relation to the other
the main theme of the game is radagon and elden beast's theme combined. you can hear the harp at the beginning of the main theme, which transitions into radagon's theme
i don't think it's meant to have any lore significance, but i guess you could say it represents how the elden beast is puppeteering radagon
It's just a tradition. They did this before in Demon Souls and allegedly wanted to do something similar in the original plans for DS3. Radagon's/ER's main theme is incidentally a rearrangement of the Demon Souls main theme.
I want to make mention that the player level up sound sounds like the start up to radagons fight
Hope you will do a reaction to the Final Fantasy VII Remake soundtrack
People always say how much of a leap graphics took in video games but I'd go as far and say that music (OST) took AT LEAST as much of a leap as well.
Yuka Kitamura really went crazy with this OST.
Many of these are two separate tracks with different names, second phases change everything.
Malenia, blade of Miquella changes to Malenia, goddess of rot.
Beast Clergyman changes to Maliketh, the Black Blade.
Godfrey, first Elden Lord changes to Hoarah Loux.
Then the final battle is a mix of Radagon of the Golden Order with Elden Beast.
I was surprised at how little commentary you had about Malenia's theme! I could see you really getting emotional and going through that journey on it. I'm biased admittedly (it's probably my favorite track in the game), but did you have any particular thoughts/feelings on it? Keep up the great work, love the channel.
You need to listen to the attack on titan soundtrack, would be cool!
If you enjoyed this, then I cannot recommend the Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 soundtracks enough
It’s honestly amazing how the themes can truly detail how the bosses are. Like everytime he analyzes a boss theme you can see how they translate or compare to the actual boss himself.
A bit late, but I'd highly recommend listening to Rogue Legacy 2's ost. It's a fairly new game but its soundtrack is incredible. My personal favorites are "The New World Army" and "Immortal Cain."
Guitar is also present.
Bloodborne OST pls most underrated OST ever and one of most beautiful and iconic from last gen games
In my time playing Elden Ring, the Godskin Apostle & its theme have been my favorite fight and theme so far. The music perfectly fits the fight and is generally really good, and the fight itself is super satisfying to me since the movements I made in response to their attacks came to me so naturally
Godskin duo though🙃
I like that you pointed out the E flat minor similarity between the Godskins and the Black Knives, as they have quite an interesting connection in-game.
(spoilers)
The Godskins and the Black Knives both used Destined Death as methods to hunt gods. The Godskins had their Destined Death sealed away by Maliketh, which (I believe) causes the black-and-white Godskin flame we see in game. Meanwhile, the Black Knives used a fragment of Destined Death that they stole from Maliketh. Thus, it makes sense why their themes would be similar.
My favorite boss is Astel, Naturalborn of the Void. It just looks super cool.
You should check out the Risk of Rain 2 + Survivors of the Void soundtrack!! I think you would love it
"Mohg, Lord of Blood... that's an omenous name"
You should do monster hunter themes! They're some of the best I've heard.
As an mh player I can 100% agree I've been playing for 11 years and proof of a hero is still a masterpiece in all of the variations of it
Have you reacted to the music of Metroid Prime? Great soundtrack would recommend if you haven’t. Enjoyed the reaction to Elden Ring!
I had read it « lansseaux » too at first
Godrick has such a good ost
or DSII! One of the best soundtracks ever
I wish I could try out that game but Imma have to wait till I am wayyy older lol.
Could you please check out the risk of rain 1 soundtrack.
Hey you should react to the Sekiro soundtrack! It's really beautiful and the game is made by the same creators that made Elden Ring!
A good game to react to would be the Yakuza franchise. Like Yakuza 0, each game has an amazing OST that are great to listen to.
you should do ultrakill ost too
You should do TF2 or Sonic CD at some point
Man, the Godskin Apostles theme goes way harder than the the fight really deserves.
Dog, you gotta listen to Fire Emblem Three Houses. I know you’ll love it!
couldn't watch this live, but here we are! Amazing Soundtrack and reaction!
Lovely tunes. Games did an amazing improvement regarding soundtracks over the past. Also, really unpopular opinion here but I think you should check out the Soundtrack of Spirit of the North. Even in private it is worth it
Not unpopular! Beautiful soundtrack, good recommendation

Yo, if you liked these then i think you should check out some of Bloodborne's ost or Dark Souls. One can even argue that these two have better music than Elden Ring.
Edit: all these titles come from the same director
I can very much suggest the soundtracks of Hyper Light Drifter and Metal Gear Rising: Revengance. Two very different games, with very different soundtracks!
Disasterpeace spazzed on the HLD OST, definitely suggest that as well. Some other indie game OSTs I would also suggest are Superbrothers: Swords and Sworcery, Outer Wilds, Death's Door, Sayonara Wild Hearts, Deadbolt, Hotline Miami, Fez, Katana Zero, Red Strings Club and if we stretch the definition of "indie" a bit, both the Ori OSTs are bangers as well.
Godskin apostles use of major chords is even creepier when you realize they are wrapped in the skin of the gods. Its a victory song for evil.
About the halfway point of godskin apostles theme where it fades out for a second and comes back is the greatest bit of music I’ve ever heard in a fromsoft game. The entire song is absolutely amazing. That and the Radagon theme stand alone at the top for me.
Idk if this will be seen but an INCREDIBLE game with an INCREDIBLE OST you should check out is night In the woods, I swear you will not regret it and you could even check out the fan made musical like you did for undertale, the person who made the undertale musical sung in the night in the woods musical as well!
phase 2 final boss' theme was one of the greatest themes I've ever heard, beautiful, absolutely gorgeous
Mispronouncing the tilte of she who shall not be named felt really weird 😂😂 definitely wont do such a mistake if you play the game💀
Interesting that you said Terraria Calamity is the favorite OST you've listened to on a personal level, when it's also one of your most viewed videos so far :)
Honestly bro the calamity fanbase is so ungrateful to the point where they drove off their main bragging point which was pretty much dokuro himself. Honestly the fanbase didn't deserve dokuro.
@@pootislord3112 interesting...not a Terraria player so don't know much about all that.
@@pootislord3112 estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo, muchos fans del Calamity dejaron de lado a Dokuro cuando gracias a él podemos reconocer y saber cual Boss es solo por su ost. Les dio una personalidad propia, por eso es de mis favoritos y uso muchas veces su ost en videos para la escuela o en videos para aquí youtube jajaja
@@pootislord3112 Im out of the loop when it comes to the Calamity mod. What happened?
@@mingQWERTY fans got impatient waiting for dm dokuro to make new songs for the mod and started harassing him to the point where he refused to make any more music for the mod
God I cannot wait to see your reaction to the DS3 OST + DLC. So damn gooooooood
The Fire giant, last of his kind. Spellbound to forever tend to the flame of his forefathers. The player just sort of runs into him to access the Flame of Ruin, which the Fire giant is forced to protect at all cost and thus we have to fight him. The music definitely suits the fight and the story.
