In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting (now the default setting for Dungeons & Dragons), dracoliches are often associated with the Cult of the Dragon. They encourage many chromatic dragons (your typical evil dragons) to become dracoliches.
It really is too bad how many people miss this fight, between the awesome fight itself, the story, and of course, the music, it's probably my favorite boss in the base game other than Margit. This cover was fantastic as usual.
It's just such a shame is such an easy fight by the time you get to it. All paths that let you get to Fortissax require going through zones that have higher level-scaled enemy and boss encounters, meaning once you get tot Fortissax, there's a high likelihood that you'll be over-levelled for the fight. You have to consciously handicap yourself in the lead-up to the fight if you want it to be fair; otherwise, you'll likely just stomp him with very little effort.
@@Armameteus The way I tend to get around that is tackling that area first thing when I get into Altus, but that comes with it's own problems and shouldn't really be necessary anyway.
YEAH YEAH YEAH ! I am genuinely HAPPY to hear this. Finally someone understands the power behind that song ! That cover is stunning !!! Worthy of the most powerful of ancient dragons. BEAUTIFUL. BRAVO. That also proves a point : If there's one person in the world able to cover this properly, then you're that guy. I don't remember seeing another cover touching this level. Respect 🙏
I'm shocked there hasn't been more FromSoftware songs since Vordt of the Boreal Valley! I personally haven't played any of the Souls games or Elden Ring, but their songs kick so much ass
Maybe one of these days I'll try out Elden Ring, or any other FromSoftware game... In the meantime, in honor of Bug Fables' 5th anniversary, I'd like to request "Team, This One's Stronger!", "His Friends Call Him Spuder (Don't Call Him Spuder)", "Cruel Beast, Devourer of Journeys", and the newly added "Heroes of Legend" (as part of the 5th anniversary update)!
I can see why this took so long to make, because damn, this was an absolute feat of music! The song, despite being orchestral, translated into guitar perfectly, and the vocal chanting also enhanced this one so well! The little solo in the middle was great, but dude, that solo at the end?! Unmatched. You nailed this one, Jonny, and I can't wait for whatever FF9 song is next! Anyways, for requests: 1. Awe of She (Guilty Gear X) 2. Balrog's Theme (Street Fighter II) 3. Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS) 4. Barok van Zieks ~ Grim Reaper of the Old Bailey (The Great Ace Attorney Adventures) 5. Pink Ball Activate! (Kirby Planet Robobot) 6. Smart Race (Deltarune Chapter 2) 7. The Almighty (Persona 4) 8. Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart (Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom) 9. Rage Awakened (Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix) 10. Soul Ablaze (Mega Man ZX Advent) 11. Ekoroshia (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair) 12. Battle! Zero Lab (Pokemon Scarlet & Violet) 13. Unexpectancy (Pizza Tower) 14. World Tournament Theme (Dragon Ball Fusions) 15. Bust a Move! (Ginga Force)
Oh, GaMetal... GaMetal! I couldn't think of more of a pun. But this a great time, since Elden Ring got nominated *again* in the Game Awards. Please do BB Channel from Fate/EXTRA CCC.
Can't wait for the FF9 track ! Some songs i would love to see one day: -Romancing Saga 2 - Seven Heroes battle Theme -Romancing Saga 2 Final Boss theme -M&L Brothership Final Boss theme -Eiyuden Chronicles Normal Battle Theme
HOLY SHIT! AN ELDEN RING REMIX AND IT’S LICHDRAGON FORTISSAX?! God I know I haven’t commented in a while, but this is just so goddman hype! Another awesome remix, man! Currently updating my request list, I’ll just leave the top 3 for now 1. Shooting Star (Megaman Starforce 1-3) 2. The Collision of Thunderstorms (Azure Striker Gunvolt) 3. Battle! Zero Lab (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet)
oh god, the Zero Lab battle would be so gold. It's at once terrifying, heroic, and sad. Fighting someone who wants, NEEDS, you to win but is compelled to fight you by forces beyond their control...
Context for this specifically, a long time ago, during a war between the major faith and dragons, a demigod named godwyn befriended a dragon named fortisaxx, ending the war. Later on, godwyn would be killed, but only in soul. Godwyn's body lived on, a living corpse whose curse of undeath would spread to the remains of others, which the main religion despised, leading to them trying to purge these undead, anointed "Those who live in death". Eventually, a small group lead by a lady named fia wished to bring these undead into the main religion, so as to free them from their torment. To do this involved making godwyn the new patron god of the religion. Unfortunately, ever since godwyn died, Fortisaxx had been protecting his remains fighting against the curse that claimed him, despite the damage it would do to their own body. So, in assisting the group, the player fights this dragon within a dream realm, what you see in the video.
I reaaaallly wanna hear a Monster Hunter theme covered again, top pick would be the Xeno’Jiiva phase 2 theme “How Life Springs Anew” but Malzeno or Magnamalo would both be good picks too!
I agree, More MH music please! My suggestions are: Malzeno, Giasmagorm or Astalos, if we're doing Rise Vaal Hazak, Namielle, Glavenus, or the Rotten Vale (Odogoron) themes, if we're talkin' World
Amazing song! I’ve listened to almost all of your songs and none of them disappoint. Random song suggestion, a 2002 Ratchet and Clank world music medley. I imagine medleys are harder to put together than individual songs from games but I’ve always loved the music from that game and if there is anybody that’s gonna do it justice it’s gonna be you.
Electric guitars and choirs are a match made in heaven and no one knows it. Thank you for bringing to life such a beautiful remix that it just so happens to fit a lot with what I've been listening recently, so I think I might stop by here more than a few times xD. Speaking of guitars and choirs, have you considered making a remix for Those Who Deny The Dawn from Octopath Traveler 2? I think it'd be GREAT on your hands. Thanks as always my man
This theme is pretty cool, eventually I will play Elden Ring, just not yet. I would also like to request 'Scrap and build ourselves' from Eternal Sonata. This is request 180+ and I shall keep on requesting it, no matter what.
AHHHHH ELDEN RING + GAMETAL!! This sounds incredible! There are tons of other tracks that I'm dying to hear in your style (Godskin Apostles especially)!
I knew it was only a matter of time before Elden Ring was brought up here! This is actually my first time listening to an Elden Ring song in full, and I’ll say, it didn’t disappoint, so I might have to listen to the rest of the soundtrack later… or just play the dang game like a normal person. As it All Crumbles Down (Underhero)
man I wish Yoshimi Kudo got to flex his skill and style more like with Fortissax's theme I also wish he was contracted for the DLC at all.. everyone should check out all his other Basiscape music (in addition to Basiscape's music in general)
And now we reach the halfway mark until triple digits. But even with that said, this was a fantastic song to help bring us to that point. Video 50 of requesting I’m Here from Sonic Frontiers
I got some suggestions jonathan - Revolver Ocelot battle theme (MGS3) - Iblis battle theme (Sonic 06) - Game Planet Starlight (Bomberman 64: The Second Attack) - Vacant Lives (1080 Snowboarding) - Any song from Mickey’s Speedway USA - Bottleneck (Corn Kidz 64) - Minotaur Maze or The Pit (Wild Woody) - Big Boss (Snake’s Revenge)
Your going to do Bloodborne after this. RichaadEB finally covered that game, hoping more of these. It is a Game Award of the day hehehe. Now, things are getting more amazing today! Please do the Love Coloured Master Spark from Touhou Project Imperishable Night featuring YaboiMatoi.
video... damm I finally lost track I guess 5 of requesting Rainbow Color Inkantation (Splatoon 3) (is the what's next shadow what I think it is this time? please be a certain track if it is I was recently dumbed by friends turning into bullys and feel alone.... even tho I'm not)
Day 109 of asking for a Steven Stone champion battle remix that uses the original theme, Pokémon Masters EX remix, and the Pokemon Masters EX Decisive Battle remix
"Its just an optional and VERY HIDDEN boss, you don't need to go all out"
The Composer:
okay let's be real the hidden boss always gets the really good theme lmao
@@edfreak9001 agreed, Midra's is such an otherworldly banger
@@nenrikido2903 And midir as well
Not as hidden as Placidussax tbh
@@DrGamer365 nah bro placi is right there in farum azula
A dragon that is also a lich is such a metal concept
To clarify, the term lich also means corpse, not only those undead mages we usually see. Pretty sure Fortissax is the former
In Dungeons & Dragons, Dragons are intelligent and capable of casting spells, so naturally it has Dracoliches. They have a Phylactery and everything.
@@metalmonster9536 thanks
@@Zerphses that would be cool final campaign boss
In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting (now the default setting for Dungeons & Dragons), dracoliches are often associated with the Cult of the Dragon. They encourage many chromatic dragons (your typical evil dragons) to become dracoliches.
Did not expect Gametal, therefore Praise the Video!
CURSE YOU BAAAA- Oh wait, wrong dragon.
An epic cover for an epic battle in an epic game. Great job man!
You've heard "Curse you, Bayle!". but have you heard "Eat my ass, Fortissax!"?
Beyond epic. The song is as metal as it gets and the visuals reflect that perfectly. This made me want to cover another Elden Ring theme too
Wow, it is *_NOT_* often you get to make power ballads for us to listen to; praise be to whoever suggested you to do this. 🙏
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

It's a shame that he's tucked so far away from the rest of the game.
This boss deserved a true second phase man...
@@Armameteus The way I tend to get around that is tackling that area first thing when I get into Altus, but that comes with it's own problems and shouldn't really be necessary anyway.
My favorite OST in the whole game including DLC.
Can’t wait for the divine beast cover
YEAH YEAH YEAH !
I am genuinely HAPPY to hear this. Finally someone understands the power behind that song ! That cover is stunning !!! Worthy of the most powerful of ancient dragons. BEAUTIFUL. BRAVO.
That also proves a point : If there's one person in the world able to cover this properly, then you're that guy. I don't remember seeing another cover touching this level.

My favorite elden ring theme, I'm so glad this is the first cover from the game you do. Keep up the amazing work!
I'm shocked there hasn't been more FromSoftware songs since Vordt of the Boreal Valley! I personally haven't played any of the Souls games or Elden Ring, but their songs kick so much ass
No shot my favorite metal remix channel just covered my favorite Elden Ring track
I've never once considered how this song would translate to metal, but i think you did a very good job (as usual) 👍.
Maybe one of these days I'll try out Elden Ring, or any other FromSoftware game...

Awesome work as always!
doing back to back BANGERS!!!

I know that silhouette!!! Oh, next one should be a good one.
I appreciate the new dark souls/elden ring remixes that has been lately this year 😭♥️
the type of videos that you go "ooo" when they pop in your feed.
That song was incredible on you, that's why I love all your songs Jonny, I'm amazed!!!
mist or beast, large chest ahead
Fort, night
Oh cool, a septic tank to hold all the unfunny 💩 people keep on spamming ingame... 😏
Absolutely amazing job! ❤
Of the dragon themes, this one is by far my favorite
This was so good! More Elden Ring please!

Much like an Elden Ring boss, I must simply keep trying, keep chipping away in my quest for a cover of Faith Is For The Transient People
Didn’t realize someone was crusading for Faith is for the Transient People
You now have my support on your quest
Favorite theme from this game 🙏 sick as hell cover
This theme is pretty cool, eventually I will play Elden Ring, just not yet. I would also like to request 'Scrap and build ourselves' from Eternal Sonata. This is request 180+ and I shall keep on requesting it, no matter what.
Ah yes, the "get good or fucking perish" game. Wonderful.
Requesting Ark Mall from Astral Chain.
omg YES
HELL YEAH!! the fact they're covering elden ring makes me love this channel even more!
Best Elden Ring remix ever 😊
AHHHHH ELDEN RING + GAMETAL!! This sounds incredible! There are tons of other tracks that I'm dying to hear in your style (Godskin Apostles especially)!
Hey, bug fables just got a content patch. You know what would be cool to celebrate? Cruel beast: devourer of journeys remix! Eh? Eh?

As it All Crumbles Down (Underhero)
LETS GOOOOOOO BEST TRACK IN THE GAME
Lovely cover! Absolutely great!
Since you are doing Elden Ring, I would humbly request "Messmer the Impaler" or "The Lord of Frenzied Flame."
This boss deserved a true second phase and cutscene that turned him into a skeleton like dragon
This song really translates well to metal.
BTW, I totally recommend Annhilation from Remnant II. That would go so hard in metal format.
man I wish Yoshimi Kudo got to flex his skill and style more like with Fortissax's theme
I also wish he was contracted for the DLC at all..
everyone should check out all his other Basiscape music (in addition to Basiscape's music in general)
And now we reach the halfway mark until triple digits. But even with that said, this was a fantastic song to help bring us to that point.
Video 50 of requesting I’m Here from Sonic Frontiers
pretty dope
Jonny wasn't able to finish this for Halloween, but it's OK, maybe it's better out of Halloween...
Now we need a GaMetal Remix of Divine Beast Dancing Lion, please!!
I did NOT expect an Elden Ring boss, but dang, I am not complaining.
Giantsflame Take Thee greatly shortens the length of this song in game, so its good to hear a full remix of it.
I've been deathblighted. RAAAAGH
I don't know what's more epic, the music, or watching a guy in his underwear beat up a dragon with frisbees.
Ah, the memories... of magically throwing rocks at the zombie wyrm while I run around like a Stooge trying to dodge its moves. Such a cool fight.
Excuse me!? Elden Ring Remix on Gametal's channel?! Don't mind if I YES!!!!!!
Sweet baby Jesus this is amazing!
damn jonny, how are your covers always so good
I’m just a foul tarnished in comparison to this masterpiece 🤘😍🔥
Never expected this, LETS GOOOOO
Any chance that we can get a remix of For True Story from Sonic Adventure 2?
THE BEST WE HAVE IS BACK!!!!
Masterpiece
My favourite souls song getting a metal cover? Yes mohging please.
The moment i saw that shadow
I just KNEW . . .
HAIL DREAD FORTISSAX 🐲
Epic
*GODWIN DOESN’T LOSE!!!*
Oh hell yea!
3:45 holy shit.
Wonderful rendition.
Being said, am I the only one who sees Zidane in the preview for what's next?
Nope I see it too! Not Kuja so makes me wonder what song it'll be!
Perhaps you're not alone
WE BECOMING THE PRINCE OF DEATH WITH THIS ONE
ALSO I HATE YOU VALIANT GARGOYLES AND FIA'S CHAMPIONS
oh my god yes
I got some suggestions jonathan
- Revolver Ocelot battle theme (MGS3)

- Game Planet Starlight (Bomberman 64: The Second Attack)
- Vacant Lives (1080 Snowboarding)
- Any song from Mickey’s Speedway USA

Epic stuff! If you're planning on revisiting Elden Ring for future remixes, might I request Malenia, Blade of Miquella?
PEEEEEAAAAAAKKK
Rellana Twin Moon Knight next queen? 👀👀👀👀
The instant i saw this, i just said, ELDEN RING COVER
Your going to do Bloodborne after this. RichaadEB finally covered that game, hoping more of these. It is a Game Award of the day hehehe. Now, things are getting more amazing today!
Please do the Love Coloured Master Spark from Touhou Project Imperishable Night featuring YaboiMatoi.
You accurately chose the most metal music of the entire game
Final Fantasy 8 - Maybe I'm a Lion
Crusader of Centy / Soleil - Battle 3
Pls :)
Huh, an Elden Ring cover. What’s next? Baldur’s Gate (1, 2 or 3)?
I humbly Request you do the Aria of Sorrow Clock Tower Theme.
Please, I beg!
Next cover = Final Fantasy IX?
Can you make the "boss theme" From Astro Bot
Will you do at least ONE remix from Mario&Luigi Brothership?
Soo when are you releasing the acoustic Elden Ring theme on your other channel? 👀
video... damm I finally lost track I guess 5 of requesting Rainbow Color Inkantation (Splatoon 3) (is the what's next shadow what I think it is this time? please be a certain track if it is I was recently dumbed by friends turning into bullys and feel alone.... even tho I'm not)
This dude had a theme?
Day 109 of asking for a Steven Stone champion battle remix that uses the original theme, Pokémon Masters EX remix, and the Pokemon Masters EX Decisive Battle remix
