the frenzied flame is an existential threat, it can burn away physical things and also spirits, so it could end literally everything. the player runs into a lord of the frenzied flame and you have to stop him or everything will cease to exist. he’s a massive threat. almost everyone in the game is afraid of the frenzied flame, even the demigods. his theme does a good job of getting that danger across imo
ironically, the only characters that don't actively fear and despise the frenzied flame are both spirits. they're balanced on the knife's edge, sway either way and they're dead instantly.
Definitely does a good job of conveying the sheer power and how close things become to spiraling out of control as it gets increasingly chaotic and tense in the last quarter of the track. The whole room is wrecked and burning in flames that drive those exposed to it insane while this mad, god-possessed vessel flies after you, dancing murderously.
I agree. As much as I enjoy Igon's dialogue in game, these type of videos should focus on the music. Also, Igon's dialogue wasn't repetitive at all. As you said, this was a heavily edited version.
17:59 The high violin here is a _very strong perversion_ of the nice, calm theme the Wandering Merchants trapped below Leyndell play on their instruments! Very thematically appropriate, as the merchants were imprisoned there as punishment for their involvement with the Frenzied Flame.
FromSoftware always puts great effort into their DLC. And the best part is, that Miyazaki, the Head of FromSoftware, said in an interview that Elden Ring still isn't his "Magnum Opus"😂.
The second phase of the lord of frenzied flame's ost is my favorite. It really gets across the feeling of fighting frenzy that you get in the lore: your not fighting just some monster,or some crazed madman, you are fighting an embodiment of the apocalypse. A creature that will burn away the world itself, that will kill EVERYTHING. Those low blasts of sound really kick you in the soul and force a feeling of fear to well up within you. And i lovethe feeling of horrifying elegance they give the flame. It is chaos, but they make it flow so well. Even midra's moves, he flows like water with great arcs and smoothness to his motions. It is the end stage of despair, where one gives in so utterly to sorrow you are amused by it, and can only enjoy yourself.
I think the thing that makes tracks like 'Dancing Lion' stick in my brain so much is that _it's a _*_waltz._* For me, a 3/4 signature carries an inherent sense of motion and flow -- it might just be a synesthesia thing, but it feels _circular_ to me, like a looping or spinning movement in musical form. I _love_ that.
@DRKSTARakaAstrogabe That's entirely possible. I've never been able to read sheet music, so the distinctions between different time signatures go right over my head.
@@Nitrinoxus I think it could be 6/8 1st off because of the way that the big beat/repeat of a phrase is every 6 small beats and 2 big beats (3 small beats = 1 beat). And the fact that this would be a very fast 3/4 lol
That shot of Radahn enveloped in Miquella's charm aura as he slowly gets up when that powerful fucking choir plays before the actual song starts gave me CHILLS
@@elitefaq914 Literally my favorite boss track of the DLC. It was used in the cinematic trailer for a reason, and it had stuck with me already. And whenever I heard it again in the game, i said "no fucking way", died (because i was searching for the trailer) and just kept on fighting Romina while being in awe for the music. I just can't get enough of it, really
glad to see Belurat getting some love..the ambient was so ethereal, haunting, foreboding and regal..when you finally beat the Divine Beast and then climb the gigantic spiral stairs up to Enir Ilim with the scadutree looming in the background...that felt like the visual representation of the ambient OST to me. What a fucking track!
Track times for anyone interested! 0:10 - Bayle the Dread 5:08 - Divine Beast Dancing Lion 9:05 - Messmer the Impaler 14:15 - The Lord of Frenzied Flame 20:33 - The Promised Consort

@@staree_ Even if you want her to listen to Igon Dialogue (which for a track reaction isn’t something good, cause it overshadows the music) there are still better edits.
I agree with you man. I love bayle and his fight and of course I love Igon. But she is here for the music. Let her experience that. Then experience igon
25:24 ''If you have ever known sin, If you grieve for this world''; witnessing this moment was fucking unbeliavable, WHAT A FINAL BOSS. I do NOT understand the hate this boss gets.
@@ashock4261 I found it fun to learn and it's one of the best in terms of the accomplishment feeling, I was really happy when I finally killed him. The only thing I'd say was bad designed is Miquella's hair covering Radahn, making it hard to see his body movements. It looks like a lot going on but it's just follow-up beams, just gotta adjust the roll direction depending on the attack.
Dark souls 3: Main menu theme, Iudex Gundyr, Slave Knight Gael, Dark Eater Midir. We need to make it happen, at least the main menu theme it is breath taking
not sure how many people noticed, or if it's stated in the video and i just missed it, but messmer's theme is a take on radagon's from the base game. it's genius
I always wonder of how much of that reaction is to the first phase, because thats the amazing part imo, but its just a short version of Radahns theme, the whole track of which i like much more then this short version. And the second phase is great, but for me it by itself isnt close to most other tracks alone from the ost. Midra, Bayle, Rellana, Putrescent Knight, even the Scadutree Avatar, all were more amazing to me then second phase. If that would have been a full length track with its own 2 phases itself, that might have been a better choice then to reuse Radahns theme first imo. (Which yes, ingame makes perfect sense considering who you fight.) All of which DOESNT mean the track itself is bad by any means, it just has the "problem" of being almost perfect in a basket full of literally perfect songs. All i wanted to say with that is, idk if everyone was blown away by this track, or Radahns track if they havent heard it before. Which she for instance might not have.
@@avraelasgardyou’re not alone in that opinion I think it’s so much overwhelmed. I prefer malenia , Radagon , dancing lion , and that’s just only elden ring I’m talking ..
If we are going for "all of history," Made in Abyss needs to be in the ring. Voh, Transendance and Haneseve, Old Stories, ReBirth, etc., are all tracks from that anime that I would hold above the entirety of Elden Ring.
It's unfortunate you weren't able to focus on the first song because you were sent a version with dialogue, and they edited it to repeat the dialogue over and over for seemingly no reason. I hope you go and listen to the actual song on your own.
FromSoftware has always put all their effort into their DLC, they feel like true passion projects. You've already reacted to others in the past! Lady Maria, Ludwig, and Lawrence from the Bloodborne video are all DLC bosses. Some others that are top tier are Sister Friede and Gael, the former is definitely worth listening to if you're a fan of vocals in music.
The war drums. Yeah... He sure is the champion of the war festival. Im amazed by how music is a language that can impart these feelings. its amazing. This much love into the world? Dang Miquella truly did steal your heart-
Promised Consort and Lord of FF are absolutely insane, such masterpieces, I love them so so much lmao. Shoi Miyazawa completely cooked here, not gonna lie.
Just thought i'd mention that the divine beast is basically the 3 kids in a trenchcoat meme. If you ever saw the old Mulan, it's like one of those dragons in the parade scene.
About the lord of Frenzy Flame, the host of the Flame is called Midra, he is a dying old man who accidently let the god of Frenzy Flame choose to host his body. He willingly to take a long spear penetrating from his eyeball to all of this gut that can seal the power of frenzy flame from taken over his body. His can't die or escape from the pain for gods know how long, until a point that he can endure no more and allow the frenzy flame to take over the body. The frenzy flame is an embodiment of "meaningless of life" One found life itself is meaningless, then reincarnation, afterlife or spirit are all insufferable, and frenzy flame can burn away even your spirit, so you can't even reincarnate, just "free from existence", to the believer, it's a ultimate relief.
Bayles music is great and igon's dialogue is awesome but since you're here for the music id have preferred if you listened to it without him because it is truly one of my favorites from the dlc. It really captures the terror of bayle. And its so eerie. Like the music makes me grind my teeth because of how it plays. I love it
that version of bayle is so awful. The normal song on the ost is godly and the one with all of igons voicelines and no repeated lines is amazing too, why did it have to be that garbage.
I got the DLC comment, but I think you're missing the part where the game cost like 60 usd, and the DLC while DLC is also paid and it cost other 40 usd, for how much we're paying for it they are just only delivering what they have to, that's why they go so over the top, the quality of what they offer is on the roof
Someying I'd like you to know about the first half of promised consort is a new version of a previous boss in the game. Even to the musically illiterate the music takes an increidbly somber tone towards the end in the original theme as the boss lost himself and had to be put down. He deserved glory yet he as reduced to an animal. Here in this new version of the song he is reborn. Beautiful, powerful. Majestic. Instead of the low somber tone of his original theme, promised consort is blazing on all highs. Fully glory. Full power. Hes back and returned to his former awe. I was squealing like a girl listening to the theme as we fought because it was amazing to see him this way despite the unfortunate circumstances
Midra had the best theme both in hype, good music wise, and thematically. The first time I heard the song I felt disoriented. Could be because I was annoyed at running around and getting shot in the manor, but the ost feels like the end of the world is slowly approaching and there's nothing you can do about it as your mind goes mad from being overwhelmed by the reality of the inevitable doom that's about to end all life on the realm.
Fromsoft makes the best games. Easily on the same pedestal as the Zelda series which has nostalgia points for me since it made me a gamer ehen i was 4-6 years old. I only started Dark Souls 1 when Elden Ring released because a friend told me i should give it a try. So i went through DS1, 2, 3, Sekiro and Elden Ring. And now i best the DLC just a couple days ago. These games are so special to me and everyone should give it a fair shot. Perservere. Die. Go again. Don't give up and you will notice the difficulty the internet talks about is vastly exaggerated. Don't go hollow.
i really love the promised consort although the battle involved is one of the hardest bosses ive ever faced, all the ones your fan picked are great songs too and all my homies love igon.
To give more context for Messmers theme without spoiling a whole lot he is a demigod who was raised by his mother Marika to wage a crusade on her behalf while becoming a symbol of fear for his mothers enemies. Messmers theme is a dark rendition of elden rings main theme. For his first phase the theme is very "tired" to put in simple terms he has been waging a crusade for who knows how long maybe even hundreds or perhaps thousands of years while being abandoned by the women who put him there. For his second phase Messmer is broken and in disbelief that we the player have made it to him because us being there goes against everything his mother has made him do. You can hear his descent especially when the brass and choir come in.
Given that the events of the game officially take place about 5,000 years after The Shattering? Yeah, I'd say Messmer has good reason to be tired. He's been fighting his mother's crusade for AT LEAST that long.
I first saw your reaction to halo 3 ODST’s tracks, then Reach, Elden Ring, and currently this… and now you’re gonna/are/have a reaction to Hazbin Hotel and Helluva??? Hell yeah, im subscribed now lol
If you think this dlc music is great, I’d also recommend the Witcher 3. Its base game and dlc music is so powerful and epic. And it’s from a Polish influence. So it’s a nice new style to get into if you haven’t before
I would love to see you play these games so you can experience these songs the way we all did the first time. I think that makes the music hit even harder.
If you liked hearing the voice acting over the music maybe you could consider watching game Scenes that go with Game themes, could be an interesting angle for thr channel.
Is it just me or do i hear a 5 rythem at 25:35? 1 / / 2 / / 1 / 2 / 3 / 1 / / 2 / / 1 / 2 / 3. Pretty neat to hear. Also this being the last dlc boss reminds me of godrick's ost, the first remembrence boss with his 7 beat tempo in phase 2.
Whoa, whoa, took me a minute to come back from that one...*whoa*. And it's storming outside here as well, what ambience! That was incredible though, hoooly crapballs. I am possibly even more shook than I was after watching the original Elden Ring vid. Just...whoa.
25:55 "And this is DLC (...) they put this much into DLC!" Well, this is not even just a "DLC", it's a huge expansion that could have been its own game almost. Even tho FromSoft's DLCs/expansions are all great not just for the added content but they simply put the same effort to it in all regards. The DLCs for their games are usually the best parts of said games.

Its a fan gimmick through and through.
I hate that people request heavily edited versions of the songs that completley overshadow the song, and this often, stop it. Please just stop it.

I agree. As much as I enjoy Igon's dialogue in game, these type of videos should focus on the music. Also, Igon's dialogue wasn't repetitive at all. As you said, this was a heavily edited version.
Agree completely
would've been one thing if it played the dialogue once, like the fight, instead of whatever tf that was
No hate for Igon, but that edit doesn't give the track the love it deserves.

“Soon… Tarnished”. “Will Thou be taken in the jaws.. Of the Abyssal Serpent, Shorn of Light”.
The music is just like a little garnish to lightly spice up Igon's delivery of his declaration to Bayle
You should do more song analyzing you’ve catched a lot of lore bits just with your interpretation of the music!
The vibrato in messmers second phase could reflect the fact that he keeps turning into a snake. So the vocals are almost slithering
phase 2 of Lord of Frenzied Flame is probably my favorite video game track ive ever heard

Don't give up and you will notice the difficulty the internet talks about is vastly exaggerated. Don't go hollow.
i really love the promised consort although the battle involved is one of the hardest bosses ive ever faced, all the ones your fan picked are great songs too and all my homies love igon.
A reaction to monster hunter music would be awesome!
That franchise has some serious bangers
Your reaction to just look my way brought me here.
The premise of your channel kept me here.
Please do "Those United in Common Cause" at some point, such a fun track.
CURSE YOU BAYLE!
The Miquella song sounds like what it'd be like to fight an angel.
To give more context for Messmers theme without spoiling a whole lot he is a demigod who was raised by his mother Marika to wage a crusade on her behalf while becoming a symbol of fear for his mothers enemies.
Messmers theme is a dark rendition of elden rings main theme. For his first phase the theme is very "tired" to put in simple terms he has been waging a crusade for who knows how long maybe even hundreds or perhaps thousands of years while being abandoned by the women who put him there. For his second phase Messmer is broken and in disbelief that we the player have made it to him because us being there goes against everything his mother has made him do. You can hear his descent especially when the brass and choir come in.
Given that the events of the game officially take place about 5,000 years after The Shattering?
Yeah, I'd say Messmer has good reason to be tired. He's been fighting his mother's crusade for AT LEAST that long.
2nd part of The Promised Consort always does the magic
So glad Igon is intrinsicly tired to the Bayle OST now!
mesmer sounded like the final battle from the other elden ring video
one really slept on track from the OST is St Trina's theme..highly recommend it- it's very somber and beautiful.
i’d recommend listening to some popular armored core osts :)
I first saw your reaction to halo 3 ODST’s tracks, then Reach, Elden Ring, and currently this… and now you’re gonna/are/have a reaction to Hazbin Hotel and Helluva???
Hell yeah, im subscribed now lol
If you think this dlc music is great, I’d also recommend the Witcher 3. Its base game and dlc music is so powerful and epic. And it’s from a Polish influence. So it’s a nice new style to get into if you haven’t before
*Clears throat* CURSE YOU BAYLE!
I would love to see you play these games so you can experience these songs the way we all did the first time. I think that makes the music hit even harder.
“CURRRRRRRSE YOU BAAAAYLLEEE!!!!!!!” the meme that I heard about before I even tried fighting Bayle xD
If you liked hearing the voice acting over the music maybe you could consider watching game Scenes that go with Game themes, could be an interesting angle for thr channel.
Very nice Lineup, i hope you do more Elden Ring.
As well as does Asura’s Wrath too at some point.
You'd definitely love Dark souls 3 music.
This is how Miquella compels affection. Just by playing this music
He actually HeartStole the composers and now they create music for his gospel spread
If you liked any of these songs from Elden Ring, I would love to see your reactions to Dark Souls 3's OST. It's still my favorite out of all of them.
“Herat Stolen”
Is it just me or do i hear a 5 rythem at 25:35? 1 / / 2 / / 1 / 2 / 3 / 1 / / 2 / / 1 / 2 / 3.
Pretty neat to hear. Also this being the last dlc boss reminds me of godrick's ost, the first remembrence boss with his 7 beat tempo in phase 2.
Whoa, whoa, took me a minute to come back from that one...*whoa*. And it's storming outside here as well, what ambience!
That was incredible though, hoooly crapballs. I am possibly even more shook than I was after watching the original Elden Ring vid. Just...whoa.
"My entire soul is yours,"
yup, same here
yall need to stop requesting these shitty fan edits with dialogue forced in or fire sound effects forced in (Laurence!)
25:55 "And this is DLC (...) they put this much into DLC!" Well, this is not even just a "DLC", it's a huge expansion that could have been its own game almost. Even tho FromSoft's DLCs/expansions are all great not just for the added content but they simply put the same effort to it in all regards. The DLCs for their games are usually the best parts of said games.
She would’ve loved romina saint if the bud
I do not remix musics much but I'm glad you liked my Bayle theme 🥳
Yay! More Elden Ring!
Another crab's treasure ost next it's up your alley
26:34 uncannily appropiate reaction
26:34 Miquella stole your heart!
