Their two best composers left the company by now (Yuka Kitamura, Nobuyoshi Suzuki) and Kota Hoshino wasn't allowed to write a lot of music in the past decade because Fromsoft is hell-bent on pursuing a soulless cinematic sound which doesn't leave any room for experimentation, which is probably why they completely cut ties with Motoi Sakuraba as well. The music is ironically one of the worst components of Elden Ring, and I can't agree on the developers being good anymore either with how many assets they reuse FROM their previous SOFTWARE. Even if Square Enix is a shadow of their former selves from the Squaresoft days, at least their composers are still leaps and bounds above whatever Fromsoft has been doing for like the past 6 years I'll agree the Dancing Lion theme is actually pretty good for Elden Ring standards, but it's also the only track in the entire 30+ tracks slog of the DLC that stands out.
This fight was pure epicness. Having a Faith build, it truly was a spectacle for both me and my foe to use magic while this absolute banger played. Great fight!
O Horn-deck'd beast, from higher sphere deliver'd. Take root inside the tower's sculpted keepers. And perch'd within, we beg of thee; rise. Dance and cavort, cleanse all that thou wilt. Cruelty, woe, and those who plague the tower. Cleanse away the strumpet's vile progeny. YOU DIED
This dlc takes the quote "Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer." and twists it into "Overconfidence is an insidious, murderous bastard." And I love it for that challenge.
This song gives me chills. What a masterpiece. When 1:54 hit in the fight i was so into the music i stopped damaging him just to listen to it longer lmao.
I just have to turn the volume up when phase to starts, and than progress it to the max until it ends, the feeling of climbing is amazing. It feels like we are dancing into the heavens. How fitting.
See them dance See them attack See them do both at the same time in their act I was the audience admiring their performance while at the same time i was part of the spectacle as an actor forced to dance alongside their attacks, best boss in the dlc
A lot of people don't pay attention to soundtrack, during bossfights and that's so sad I personally after hearing 2:00 part took my hands of the keyboard and my face made the expression of pure esthetic satisfaction. I have only started to play DLC, but after this moment, I understood, how good it will be. This bossfight is literally ART
i think this fight is one of the best fights of the DLC. if the lightning phase didn't cause so much visual clutter it made it hard to know what was going on it would be a top 3 imo
The music just hypes you up even more, while you’re fighting the DDB it’s such an epic feeling!!! Didn’t mind dying a few times with this during a glorious battle….
This boss was 100% put near the start to REALLY get players into the DLC, I'm barely into the DLC and this boss is already top 5 overall (full game) in my opinion.
Yo solo rodaba y rodaba por el suelo escuchando este magnifico OST, luego me uni al baile con la bestia divina el leon danzante 🍻, por fin un dlc digno para elden ring
So we know DBDL was once used for rituals, before being turned into war machines. This OST reminds me of festivals and parades, like something once used for entertainment to cheer at as they perform, now muddied and disfigured At some point, both cheering and screaming sound the same
I am upset at myself because I (just barely) beat this boss first try, and was really loving it. I feel like I cheated myself out of it, so I will be playing through again sometime soon.
When I first fought the one in Belurat I joked about it'd be funny if they made it spit bleed or even deathblight gas instead lol. And then I went to Ancient Rauh ruins....
This track made me realize I need this song, but rendered into million different versions because oh my God I'm obsessed with every aspect of this track
My first time fighting this boss, i was in complete awe. I was blocking for like 10 mins during his second phase just watching dancing lion and enjoying this god like theme
@@AndresSanchez-xv9cb the collector's edition has the official soundtrack, and each track has the composer's name in the info that pops up when you check the data
While I loved this fight, this fight was also REALLY damn chaotic lmao. But I also really love how they have the little Eastern-Chinese tones going on because the Divine Beast is inspired by the Eastern dancing lions. They've always been cool to me irl, and they continue to be cool in this game too.

The camera is dancing more than the lion itself...
This felt like a very Nioh boss
this is ART
The fact that the ice stomp from the lion matches the beat of the song 🔥
Don't know why but the whole theme reminds me of mohg theme with heavy eastern cover, don't know how much the lore would have connections between them
I’m honestly assuming this piece is by Shoi Miyazawa (same composer who did Mohg, Radahn, and Maliketh) so maybe that’s the connection you see
It is by shoi miyazawa correct. He also did Midra’s theme
