FR DUDE, all of the bosses have crazy good designs, romina is very elegant and has some really pretty attacks, bayle absolutely stunned me at the start of his 2nd phase (which is basically just a movie), midra’s cutscene is the hardest shit i have ever seen with some of the best music in the DLC, divine beast dancing lion also has incredible music and is really fun, and messmer has a sick 2nd phase design and very cool cutscenes literally every boss in the DLC i have fought so far has completely and utterly exceeded my expectations my miles (even though they were already extremely high) (also, please dont mention any other bosses in the DLC that weren’t mentioned here because i have not seen all of them lol)
The whole area leading up to Midra feels like you really don't belong there. its empty say for the fucking nightmare demons roaming. And then you see a foggy fucking scooby doo ass mansion with a bunch of headless dudes with fingers coming out. Just to face the most badass and eerie boss fromsoft has made to date. Id love to know more of Midras lore.
Nanaya was connected to the Three Fingers and tried to raise a Lord of Frenzied flame, but they were too weak to absorb the Three Fingers, only their spine survived. She seems to have lead a group of scholars lead by Midra towards studying the flame in another attempt, and unlike most, he was able to retain his sense of self after he was infected as well as absorb a much higher dose of the Frenzy Flame than most. When the Hornsent discovered his research, and the nature of the Frenzy Flame and its power to destroy spirits, they sent the inquisition to eradicate them. Midra was executed by that sword, but as we can see he was too strong and could not die. Despite being in absolute agony he refused to give into the flame, and has been confined to his manor ever since. The player pushes him past the breaking point after suffering so long, and her gives up holding the flame back. As he did not absorb the Three Fingers he is not as powerful as we are in the LoFF ending, but he was closer than anyone to ascending, so he gains a partial transformation.
@@leiderhosen7110 i think this is close but i think something different: i find it strange that if they were so intent on unleashing the frenzy, he would've just pulled that sword out of him, but instead he and another resident warn you to go away, and even call you stupid! so im thinking that while yes, nanaya did seduce these people to studying the flame, by the time you reach him, midra realizes the folly in this and what exactly he's doing, so he endures. that is, until you beat him up, then he says fuck it and fully embraces the flame! thats why i actually don't think he's a failed lord, he was until we pressed him
@@kingkunta3753 the main question for his lore is: -why did he want to become frienzed flame? and which tree did he want to destroy,the scadutree or the erdtree ? i think we need to wait for more vaati videos
Fun story, I was 100%ing Elden Ring to clean up before the DLC. The last achievement I needed was to become the Lord of Frenzied Flame. So when I got to Midra, we were just 2 Frenzied Lords duking it out.
I agree the first time I saw this cutscene I thought he was just going to pull out the weapon with his head attached to the weapon and be an agile maniac because of his size at first but i was very wrong
The entire area is madness themed, all of the dialogue and items put pointed to it. If u didn't expect it u just don't really engage with anything other than hitting enemies and that's okay
For a boss fight whose gimmick revolves around in-game madness, you're well rewarded for staying calm and just staying right in his face. His sword attack strings are slow, well-telegraphed, and there's only a few of them so they're easy to learn. His stagger threshold is extremely low. He can be parried. Staying in close against him means he can't spam his Frenzy spells which are meant to be used from medium or long range. Easy contender for best DLC boss fight along with Bayle and Messmer. Had fun punching him to death.
@@FurnaxIkkii will say, as someone playing on an old ps4, the boss is extremely fair, except for his phase transition attack, idk if it’s just me but i cannot see a single thing he’s about to do after it, the game starts getting laggy for me and it’s too bright for me to see him
Would've been cooler if the build up game area is a very secret nation deep below which nobody is there and you can only see harmless shadow passing by, it would've been insane build up. But I think knowing the area is mostly library is a homage to the third chapter of the king in yellow book by chambers which the narrator is a librarian or something
@@thegameknight8916 A lord. He's a failed Lord of Frenzied Flame. You can fight this boss while being 'consort' to the Three Fingers, so that implies there can be more than one.
@PrattlingPate_ Still *_The Lord Of Frenzied Flame,_* though. And a terrifying being to behold. Where Vyke failed in the past... _He has now_ *_succeeded._* And you are right. But I'm going by what I'm seeing here.
@@PShrekky I'm not entirely sure but I think the reason he couldn't become a real lord of frenzied flame was because he couldn't accept the mindset of the Three fingers and hence couldn't use the full power. Our tarnished however was able to become a full lord of frenzied flame because they embody the ideal and mindset of the three fingers
I love how you can hear torrent in the background panicking when the source of what it was scared of for the entirety of the abyss, and what killed torrent during the frenzy ending (the lord of madness burning the ring) was right in front of it.
The only two people who im unsure if they got the frenzied flame ending are kai and dontai. Everyone else shown have played the game several times and are streamers whos careers revolve around souls-likes, wtih the exception of penguinz0 (although he has stated his favorite genre is souls-like in his most recent video and that elden ring is his favorite souls-like, so im pretty sure hes gotten the frenzied flame ending as well)
Something about this fight feels a great deal more subdued than the other remembrance fights. While those are bombastic fights against skilled warriors and deadly beasts, Midra is just a man in a secluded part of the map who simply wants to be given peace after holding back the Frenzied Flame for years. And the fight itself is slow, eerie, and overall unsettling. It kinda reminds me of the Dancer of the Boreal Valley now that i think about it.
I guess everyone's speculation about this dude from the first trailer being a boss were right. I don't think anyone expected him to take us all to crazy town, however.
@@Gacha-Ritual-Master imagine every step he left little fires on the ground that inflicted madness, kinda Luke lunastra from monster hunter. That would have been a nice touch
So if no one else is going to say this, I will: This is a BloodBorne boss. The horror and breaking of his own crucifix, and the surrender to an eldritch-horror level of power.
This whole area is really a huge bloodborne reference the boss feels like something out of bloodborne, the general area reminds of the forbidden woods, there is just straight up winter lanterns.
The presence of the shrieking violins/cellos are what do it for me. I never had a more "KILL IT *NOW*" feeling than when I first saw him cus I knew that was bad news.
THIS MUSIC is beautifully composed. That 14:44 switch up in the second phase makes this boss one of most memorable experiences I've ever had. It's almost a waltzing tempo... makes you feel like you're dancing with the devil... and one step out of line, you die. Incredible.
I love the thematic implications behind becoming a lord of frenzied flame. You have to succumb completely to the madness, and literally lose your head.
Yes, Midra is the most fair boss fight in the DLC so far. Not too easy, not too hard. His attack are not that erratic and greatly telegraphed. And some of his FF moves are very deadly and can take more than half of your HP. Easily my Top 10 bosses for sure.
@@DaddySaddo The major issues with the final boss isn't that his moves are "unfair", at least most of them aren't, but not in the way you think. but the amount of visual clutter that can easily lead to your view of the boss being obstructed and therefore not being able to properly predict and react to whatever he does next. The amount of times where I lost sight of the boss, because of the light show or his "hair extension", I shall call it. is crazy. they need to do something about that. genuinely has cost me attempts. the rock sling to light-clone attack in the 2nd phase is truly evil, because the rocks flying at you obscure your vision of the boss while he goes into his next attack. By all means this is scummy, if you are not aware of that, you can easily die or lose a big chunk of your health. but overall, after learning his moveset, he becomes a lot easier to handle. I haven't beaten him yet, but so far I have gotten him down to like 1/6 of his health in all my attempts after figuring him out. (edit: I have beaten him, overall a good fight, but yeah, the bullshit elements suck, if you don't realize what happens)
@@DatAsianGuy oh yeah the rocksling in phase two is absolute bullshit. Only way you can consistently dodge it is by running far enough away so he doesn't do the follow up attack after flinging the rocks. The other attack I would call truly bullshit is the cross attack since unless you're perfectly positioned in his right side( i think it was right?) you literally can't dodge it
This boss is so fabulous. He reminds me "Tony Stark Explosions meme". Nice, now we have 3 DLC bosses that will fit Bloodborne aesthetics: Saint of the Bud, Mother of fingers and Midra. +3 from vanila game (Astel, Fallingstar beast, Elden beast)
Isn't his weapon the thing that the lady character was holding in the second trailer for the DLC? In the tower city when Messmer is attacking it. Maybe that's who Nanaya is.
@@anonanon6963not his daughter actually they seemed more like a couple from that one picture we saw of him, plus she made sure he never ripped that rod out but she's dead now and no longer matter, that is Why Midra and his remembrance both said "endure" the remembrance said that word is like a curse to him
@christiansargent6053 honestly the reskinned dragons are way better in the dlc. They have a bunch of new moves, I was really happy to see it. Except for senesax, that dragon can fuck off.
Bess boss in the DLC hands down thematically and the way his fight completely rewards you for staying calm and learning. He's so well choreographed, to the point the MUSIC syncs up with his attacks. This is a rhythm fight and once you hear it it just feels so god damn good
I was really hesitant about fighting Midra because I really like the Abyssal Woods and the fact they had been infected by the Frenzied Flame. I love areas or levels that have this infected lore behind it
When I saw the trailer I knew that no matter what I wanted to figure out what this dude ripping his head off was gonna be. I was expecting madness, maybe he would be the leader and after taking off his head it would teleport you to his domain or smth, but I didn’t expect him to literally be a reference to one of the endings WE AS THE PLAYER can obtain. It was shivering that Vyke and our character weren’t the only two who had access to such overwhelmingly intense madness, especially enough to be called a lord
Probably one of the best boss intros ive ever seen. I bet fromsoft actually had the whole scene of the head coming off but decided to black it out I guess
Can’t wait for the weekend, as a souls player who is so rusty because of dropping the game for months. I’m high key more scared than excited to play it. And that’s a good thing, I perform better when I feel like I’m cornered.
I find it funny and disturbing that you can find his spine in that mansion. Even more disturbing that it’s a weapon that was being held in his friend’s (girlfriend? Servant?) corpse’s embrace
Use my build at the end of the video if you are a similar or higher level than me and are struggling, Im level 150 in ng+7 and i used Lord of Bloods Exaltation, Rotten Winged Sword Insigna, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman and Ritual Sword Talisman. My wonderous physick flask had Opaline Hardtear and Greenburst Crystal Tear. My gear was two Scavenger’s Occult Curved Sword with the Seppuku ash of war and Occult scaling, and for armour I had the Rakshasa set (grants more damage and in return you receive more damage from enemies. My stats were 45, 10, 25, 14, 25(i think), 9, 9 and 80 (priority) in the order of the stats going from top to bottom, also use a mimic tear summon if you are still struggling as this will guarantee the kill. If this helped give this comment a like and good luck!🤞
bruh the first clip when he got grabbed by the tiny little fella only did like 1/4 of his hp. in NG+, if you dont use any blessings, that shit does like 800-1000 damage.
This has to be the best surprise i've had in souls, except maybe Nameless King in DS3. I legit had a grin on my face slowly realizing he turns into a Lord of Frenzy.
They need to buff this boss fr. he’s one of the hardest to find and looks really cool and has a fun move set but I think he could use some gap closers, faster mixups and like 50% more health.
Me entering his arena with the mark of the three fingers and the frenzied flame eyes + ending : Ok, old man, let us see who's the real deal of frenzy here!. ( he absolute destroyed me the 10 first tries ) But his attacks are so cool and well design that it doesn't feel bullshit, he has a lot of timing and delayed attacks that you can read after some time playing, it's hard ? Sure, but definitely pretty cool and well made.
I was really hoping that someone would be super familiar with the lore and just have their mind absolutely blown that THERE IS A LORD OF FRENZIED FLAME IN AN OPTIONAL AREA
His weapon was kinda upseting ngl, its just a sword with common sword move set and the skills it's not even Frenzied Flame related, it's more like sacred, the incantantion it's pretty cool, Sauron type shit there.
Why would it have frenzy its what he was impaled with by the hornsent. It also has the claymore poke and its ash of war can grab npc type enemies, I just wish it had longer range.
@@pancakke08 they could've said it something like " In old times this was a holy weapon, but after the lord of frenzied flame touched it, the corruptions of the three fingers spread it out and now it's nothing more than a cursed spear by the flame of frenzy. " But I understand you, it's just my personal thought on it.
Keen Backhand Blade +25 ( No Frost / Bleed ) Buckler Sheild Level 120 Parrying this boss was easy and he's great , don't remember the scadutree blessing maybe 12 or 13
I prefer Elden Ring's lore/story over, well, every other fantasy story including LOTR and Dark Souls tbh. the lack of an ultimate evil is what makes it so interesting to me.
While I wouldn't rank the actual fight itself among my top 5 (it is still really good, though), Midra definitely takes the cake in terms of pure crazy awesomeness. The design goes unbelievably hard, and the Bloodborne-esque theme music is phenomenal
Sorry guys Im_Dontai copyright claimed my other 2 videos so I had to remove his clip from this video too for potential copyright claim

Yeah I didnt expect a frenzy boss alright.
His design is crazy good. You can tell that second phase isn’t even midra. Its the frenzied flame itself channeling through him.

Bess boss in the DLC hands down thematically and the way his fight completely rewards you for staying calm and learning. He's so well choreographed, to the point the MUSIC syncs up with his attacks. This is a rhythm fight and once you hear it it just feels so god damn good
One positive about Midra is that it's nearly impossible to lose your runes since his "first phase" is so feeble.
At the end, seeing someone is fighting this boss with dual fingerprint shields. Kinda ironic when you think about it.
6:45 I kne I wasnt the only person that thought of muse when I saw midra.
They made that cutscene so fucking cool. The frenzied turn around is cool in the base game and in this.
Prob my favorite area, and top 5 boss for sure. Will be playing this area in halloween lol
Its truly haunted
I was really hesitant about fighting Midra because I really like the Abyssal Woods and the fact they had been infected by the Frenzied Flame. I love areas or levels that have this infected lore behind it
Still really wish we could have gotton the madness head, would have loved that as even a boss reward for increasing madness buildup and dmg sorceries
When I saw the trailer I knew that no matter what I wanted to figure out what this dude ripping his head off was gonna be. I was expecting madness, maybe he would be the leader and after taking off his head it would teleport you to his domain or smth, but I didn’t expect him to literally be a reference to one of the endings WE AS THE PLAYER can obtain. It was shivering that Vyke and our character weren’t the only two who had access to such overwhelmingly intense madness, especially enough to be called a lord
Probably one of the best boss intros ive ever seen. I bet fromsoft actually had the whole scene of the head coming off but decided to black it out I guess
Can’t wait for the weekend, as a souls player who is so rusty because of dropping the game for months. I’m high key more scared than excited to play it.
And that’s a good thing, I perform better when I feel like I’m cornered.
I find it funny and disturbing that you can find his spine in that mansion. Even more disturbing that it’s a weapon that was being held in his friend’s (girlfriend? Servant?) corpse’s embrace
I thought that was his child's spine?
Why Charlie only have +10 flasks?
The flower weapon is so funny
Man, when I learned of frenzy spells and got that ending, I went “I kinda wish there was a frenzy boss” and I’m so glad they delivered
11:20 Every Dragon Ball series after the original one be like
Midra's damage: 😱🤯😱
Midra's animations: 🧚🔥🧚
I actually really loved this fight if only because his animations were so graceful and pretty.
Gotta love how everyone is a mixed of impressed and happy at the end of the transition
Use my build at the end of the video if you are a similar or higher level than me and are struggling, Im level 150 in ng+7 and i used Lord of Bloods Exaltation, Rotten Winged Sword Insigna, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman and Ritual Sword Talisman. My wonderous physick flask had Opaline Hardtear and Greenburst Crystal Tear. My gear was two Scavenger’s Occult Curved Sword with the Seppuku ash of war and Occult scaling, and for armour I had the Rakshasa set (grants more damage and in return you receive more damage from enemies. My stats were 45, 10, 25, 14, 25(i think), 9, 9 and 80 (priority) in the order of the stats going from top to bottom, also use a mimic tear summon if you are still struggling as this will guarantee the kill. If this helped give this comment a like and good luck!🤞
bleed is so fucking op its ridiculous
@@RomGomLPi cant disagree with you there
@@FXRainis that weapon better than the bandits curved sword?
@@carrotpanda8225 Bandits curved sword is better but i dont have it
@@FXRain thanks i love your builds btw
Love the difference in number of deaths between the first and second clips
When bro ripped his head off to ascend to ultimate madness that was metal as fuck.
After learning the lore I feel so bad for our man Midra. He really wanted to contain the frenzy and protect the world from it
You know it's a good fucking introduction when every streamer stares slack-jawed as this old man rips his own head off with a sword
bruh the first clip when he got grabbed by the tiny little fella only did like 1/4 of his hp. in NG+, if you dont use any blessings, that shit does like 800-1000 damage.
I feel like this is the most terrifying boss, in both lore and visuals.
This has to be the best surprise i've had in souls, except maybe Nameless King in DS3. I legit had a grin on my face slowly realizing he turns into a Lord of Frenzy.
The build you use reminds me of my ds3 build and it brings back nostalgia 😔
Have to say, my biggest "oh shit I wasn't ready" moment in the whole DLC was when the fire ignited and I realized he was a Lord of Frenzied Flame.
Despite the insane pain, hunger, and thirst (this indicates how exhausted he was), he continued to maintain his sanity to the last.
They need to buff this boss fr. he’s one of the hardest to find and looks really cool and has a fun move set but I think he could use some gap closers, faster mixups and like 50% more health.
I'm on ng+7, and fought this guy with maybe around lvl10 blessing and he was a CHALLENGE
3:17 "Ahh fck, here we go." Lmao Kai 😂
This cutscene was so good Ong definitely top 3 in elden ring hands down!
Am I the ONLY one who wishes they did not cut to black during the self-decapitation?
配信者が使っている武器を見てみんなの個性が見れるの良いね
best most fun and cool boss in the whole game tbh
Me entering his arena with the mark of the three fingers and the frenzied flame eyes + ending : Ok, old man, let us see who's the real deal of frenzy here!. ( he absolute destroyed me the 10 first tries ) But his attacks are so cool and well design that it doesn't feel bullshit, he has a lot of timing and delayed attacks that you can read after some time playing, it's hard ? Sure, but definitely pretty cool and well made.
Based on these reactions it feels as if no one has seen or choose the Frenzy Flame ending except Distortion
I was really hoping that someone would be super familiar with the lore and just have their mind absolutely blown that THERE IS A LORD OF FRENZIED FLAME IN AN OPTIONAL AREA
Lucidity helped me with this area amd boss finally found a use for that spell snd it was a big one😅
His weapon was kinda upseting ngl, its just a sword with common sword move set and the skills it's not even Frenzied Flame related, it's more like sacred, the incantantion it's pretty cool, Sauron type shit there.
Why would it have frenzy its what he was impaled with by the hornsent. It also has the claymore poke and its ash of war can grab npc type enemies, I just wish it had longer range.
@@pancakke08 they could've said it something like " In old times this was a holy weapon, but after the lord of frenzied flame touched it, the corruptions of the three fingers spread it out and now it's nothing more than a cursed spear by the flame of frenzy. " But I understand you, it's just my personal thought on it.
*THE DEPTHS OF YOUR FOOLISHNESH* 🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🗣🔥🗣🔥🔥🔥🗣🔥
Im surprised at how many people aren't using the dlc weapons
Charlie’s gameplay was so satisfying
Fighting this boss with the dryleaf martial arts gloves was incredibly fun.
I love how dumbfounded everybody is when they see Midra's new "head".
Where can i find the vid of kai fighting this boss
The faces you pull are more frightening than any boss in the game 😂
Lol I was just strolling this area just to find some loot. I didnt even know there was fucking Frenzy Lord chillin in here.
Keen Backhand Blade +25 ( No Frost / Bleed )
Buckler Sheild
Level 120
Parrying this boss was easy and he's great , don't remember the scadutree blessing maybe 12 or 13
Im so disappointed we STILL didn't get the Lord of Frenzied head as a piece of armor
Midra and the boss from the top of dragon mountain are by far the best in all of Elden Ring
When I fought this guy my character was already empowered by the frenzy flame, my thoughts, there can only be one.
i just went medium shield with ice infused misericorde and parried his ass till death
The eye of Sauron moment?!
I prefer Elden Ring's lore/story over, well, every other fantasy story including LOTR and Dark Souls tbh. the lack of an ultimate evil is what makes it so interesting to me.
@@imannam With all due respect what story?
"aww fuck here we go" pretty much sums up everyone's reaction to this cutscene 😂
Is it just me, or did he hit the Praise the Sun pose?
While I wouldn't rank the actual fight itself among my top 5 (it is still really good, though), Midra definitely takes the cake in terms of pure crazy awesomeness. The design goes unbelievably hard, and the Bloodborne-esque theme music is phenomenal
literally the king in yellow
For an agent of chaos his move set was so smooth
am I crazy or does Midra do the praise the sun pose
Praise the sun, Cause im boutta cook you with it
-Midra, Lord of the largest and craziest oven
