The thing I love about Godfrey/Houra Loux is that he showes you respect. When you're killed by him he encourages you to get stronger and when he is defeated he praises you for your strength and tells you that you are worthy of a crown. The man respects you to the very end.
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq True but it's that he doesn't insult you in any way while fighting you. He could have been bitter and vengeful but no he just says "Thy strength befits a crown."
Gideon saying that no tarnished can become Elden Lord, but right after having THE first Elden Lord commend you and treat you as an equal was pretty epic. Dude just saw how far youve had to come and instantly recognizes your strength and thus your claim.
“If you choose ambition, lord, then choose it honestly, with cruelty. If you would make a mountain of the dead, pile it so it reaches the sky. If you would shed blood, then let it run as a river.” - _Throne of Blood_ (1957)
He respects strength. You cleared your way all the way to the tree, i doubt he would rather fight anyone else. Especially since we can actually see grace guiding him towards us in the cutscene. He first lost his grace when his last worthy enemy fell, so it kind of implies that the player character ignites that old fire in him. Also supported by him being willing to go all out tearing Serosh from his back, something he didnt even do during his exile.
@@samurexatlas7373 Isn't he also a tarnished? doesnt it show him dead at the beginning of elden ring when it mentions him as the bastard of the badlands?
*"Thy strength befits a crown."* Your Grace leads you to him, just as his leads to you. After so long, both endlessly fighting opponents that can be called gods, the two greatest Tarnished should settle once and for all who is truly worthy of becoming the Elden Lord.
I kind of image it as both of their themes as you fight. After all Godfrey is not a God he's a man and you are both on equal footing bound by honor and the thrill of what could be either of your last battles in pursuit of the elden ring. It's not a boss theme, lament, manifesto, or anything else like a boss would normally have. It's like an agreement from the both of you, a pact that one tarnished would became elden lord.
There's something about the soon-to-be-Lord being dressed in the ragged armor of the soldiers who served Godfrey's son, carrying a heretical god-killing sword, and using heretical magic...
It’s thematically beautiful to have a rage-filled human kept in check by a calm beast advisor. Godfrey is probably my favorite character in this game. Amazing work!
I love this song for the exact same reason I love the actual Godfrey fight in-game. Theres something just so... pure, about it. With the other fights in the game, theres always some winded dialong or flashy thing at the forefront, with your opponent either out of their mind or casually disrespecting you as scum beneath their feet. But here? Theres none of that. The cards are already down, and the end has come. Here, at the climax of the age, two warriors stand, each with a solid chance at becoming the elden lord. The battle is tense, as blades clash and the ground shakes. But more importantly, it is respectful. Godfrey recognizes your authority, and your power. And treats you as such "Thy strength... befits a crown." Well done on yet another banger song!
@@Hollow__Heart waterfowl dance, fire giants double fireball attack, Malekiths beastial sling, Gideon's triple rings of light and Elden stars to name a few.
Godfrey is my favorite boss in FromSoftware's catalog. Everything about him is perfect. From his presentation, to his lore, to his design, and my favorite part, his fighting style. From what I can recall, Godfrey is the only souls boss that has no gimmicks. No magic, no holy power, no lightning, or fire, or strength of the abyss. It's just him. Just his axe, his strength, and his will that opposes you. In all respects, he truly is Godfrey, The First Elden Lord. But in all respects he is also, Hoarah Loux. A Warrior
Okay. Counterpoint:Champion Gundyr. From a certain point of view, phase 1 Gael. If we will dig really deep, crown of the sunken king gank squad. And also from a certain point of view, Champion's Gravetender and Sir Alonne. The former does has a bunch of small dogs and one really big dog, but is otherwise just a sword & board guy, and the latter has the "stab someone to buff the sword" thingy, but is otherwise just a completely normal katana guy. Also, quite a few bosses from Sekiro I think, or at least their 1 phase.
@@l.o.v.e-sick5330 Those are fair points. Champion Gundyr and Sir Alonne are the only two I agree are like Godfrey. Both actually exemplify my points and actually enhance them imo. Gundyr is a failed lord. His will was not strong enough, and he was too slow to fulfill his duty. He failed to uphold what Godfrey successfully does. Alonne fought for a lord. He had no ambitions of his own. He was a warrior who was betrayed by his lack of ambition, something Godfrey (and the Elden Ring PC) clearly has.
On that point I love how his second phase is also the opposite of the usual Dark Souls boss power-up; his Shadow tries to join the fight, but then Godfrey just *kills him* and chooses instead to fight you bare-handed as his old Barbarian King self.
@@mr.cobalt1668 I got burned out on Elden Ring, but I dove back into it this past November when I had to be out of work for a while. Anyway, I worked my way through the game even with a busted elbow. I got to Godfrey the other night and that cutscene with Serosh actually had me a bit shocked. I guess I'm too used to bosses treating their companion with more respect; a la Nameless King's hand trembling before he stabs the storm drake. I'm intentionally not finishing the game until the DLC is released. I know better than to go into the DLC of a FromSoftware game in NG+.
This is an amazing VOTC! IM SO PROUD OF EVERYONE!! IN THIS PROJECT!! ❤ and thank you! Aviators for giving the fans opportunities to join in on the fun!! 🎶🎵🎤🔥
I normally dont write any comments - but here i must! I bought Elden Ring in 2022 and only came to Margit. I never completed him - tried it hundreds of times... and left the game beside... But since i found your Elden Ring Songs a few month ago, i began to play it again... And what can i say... At the moment i got Margit, Godric, Renalla and at least Radahn. I am so into this game now and i have fun with it, even when i am dying and dying. Everytime when i hear your Songs i get inspiration to play it even further. Thank you very much for making this motivation!!
He may be trying to steal my runes, but I can understand Godfrey, while he was an Elden lord, a symbol of greatness, that’s not really what he is, he’s a warrior, willing to do anything to win.
I wouldn't say anything, He fights with honour and never uses any tricks, If he truly was willing to do ANYTHING he would likely be far more dangerously
I've listened to this song non-stop the last few months because it goes so hard with The Way Of Kings that it's become my unofficial theme song lol. Absolute masterpiece of a song as always!
Months? Didn’t it just come out like what, 40 minutes ago? Edit: At the time of my comment, it came out 49 minutes ago. Edit 2: My bad, I didn’t realize that it was posted 8 months ago as another video.
@Springtrap11556 The album was released a while ago on bandcamp and spotify. I'm actually not entirely sure why the youtube ones are usually released late.
Godfrey was actually one of the few Elden Ring Bosses I actually respected. Most of the other ones are either incredibly arrogant, infuriatingly condescending, or both. Godfrey, on the other hand, does not give a crud who he is or who you are. He respects anyone who can fight well. Literally tells you that your strength befits a crown. I would be sad for killing him, but I know he wouldn't have wanted to go out any other way.
Funny enough, I include Malenia in that ballpark. Not to the same degree as Godfrey, but she is the only other boss who respects you after getting bested
Godfrey was the most hyped-up and still delivered boss of the game Through-out the game he only exists in background-lore and as an ancestor of your kind In my original playthrough I didn't expect we actually ever got to fight him, I thought we 'might' fight him, but after we fought his heroic shade I thought how much of a relic of the past he was. I'm glad the game proved me wrong, and delivered so much more than promised
This is such an awesome song, I love it and I am so glad that I was a part of this masterpiece of a song, and god that beat drop is absolutely immaculate. Love your stuff Avi Keep up the wonderful work!
@@Springtrap11556 Thx it was a joint effort of like 370 people who did something called Voices of the Crowd where Avi lets his fans sing in his songs for a certain part
yeah 10 minutes just like how long it toook me to ejaculate in my pants clean up aisle my pants! dawg i fucking came ALL over when listening to this song. anyways god bless my man brofist ✊
A powerful video to accompany a powerful song! Even if it's been nearly four months after the initial release, it's still surreal in the best of possible ways to hear my voice in the chorus! Being a part of the Crowd has been nothing short of life changing, and I'll forever be thankful for the opportunity you gave us all! 💙
Just realising that Godfrey isnt after the elden ring, because if he was he could've just entered the Tree, he's here for a good fight and to make sure the next elden lord is strong enough
he is definitely is trying to become lord again. He says 'I have returned, to be granted audience once more' I think they're just stopping to pay respects and say goodbye to their son, when you arrive and his own guidance points to you as the last challenge before audience with Marika, just as he is for the player.
This is one of the songs I was most looking forward to seeing in video form, even outside of its Elden Ring context it's such a good motivational fighting song! Amazing work as always, both Avi and the voices of his crowd!
"We're the Voices of the Crowd" 🥰 Wrong song, but still 😆😉 The video is incredible and honestly I didn't think we'd get this song as a video because it's sooo long XD I'm happy I'm wrong and also happy and proud to be a part of this in the chorus ☺️👌🏻 Love all the other "Voices" and especially you, Avi *sending hugs* 🤗❤️
Elden Ring got me hyped beyond any measure when it released, and this game has become one of my favorites of all time - unexpectedly for me, not a Dark Souls expert at all. Even more unexpectedly, such typical "barbarian with axe" NPC as Godfrey became one of the most memorable characters I have ever met in any of fantasy games. So, I just say, Aviators: being my single most respected composer and one of the coolest male singing voices across the internet, you have no idea how important for me is this Godfrey anthem of yours. Got pretty emotional, thanks!
Hearing your music is immediately a wonderful cheer up to any day!! This song is absolutely incredible! Even as someone that hasn't touched Elden Ring before, I've been hearing it a lot ever since I found it in the album along with all of the others!! And this one is incredible like all of the other ones!! You music is wonderful! and keep on bringing great smiles to everyone's faces and great tunes to everyone's ears too ^^✨🎶🎵
"Every chance to die, is inspiration to survive." Has to be my favorite line in all of this It's just perfect Edit: thank you all for the 100+ likes, never expected this to get so many
Hooray, it’s back to listen to! And thank you for fixing the on-screen lyrics! I often like to look at music videos, and I would have felt bad if that error hasn’t been noticed reasonably quickly.
Got to say, music is amazing as always! But I really like the additional work you put into the great cinematography with the people you work with! Huge respect!
YES! I’ve been so excited for the music video to this song! It’s so well put together! I’ve always wondered how the choir was done, and then I joined the discord and realized. I was so happy you include your audience! Thank you for all you’ve done and I’m ready for another year of new amazing adventures and new epic songs!
This is absolutely fucking excellent guys. It's so quiet yet full of energy just waiting to be unleashed. It hits hard with each note getting ready to leap like a lion's pounce.
To me, this is how meeting Godfrey felt. Grace had completely abandoned you, when you burned the Erdtree, but now you knew your path forward. Despite the gods denying you your journey, you continued to the courtyard, where HE waited. Unlike with every other tarnished, the once and future Elden Lord was still guided by grace - and he had one obstacle left before him, the tarnished whose ambition would destroy the Golden Order beyond repair. He should have won. It was clear that every divinity had placed their backing on him, and grace itself supported him. Instead, perhaps for the first time in the Tarnished's journey, the plans of the gods were broken. It wasn't the lowly tarnished who was defeated, but Godfrey, who was even then still loved by Marika. This final test of strength broke the old Lord... but proved that the new one was worthy of a crown all their own.
grace is given by marika. not the gods. also you still have grace after the burning. it is the thing that supposedly allows for the tarnished to come back from death. supposedly godfrey doesnt have grace..or he just refuses to come back after death since he is too big of a chad to do so.
@@sudanemamimikiki1527 He does have grace, as we can see it leads him to the Tarnished when Morgott fades away. So either it left him when he died again or he just decided to not contest your lordship after you proved your strength.
I've been listening to your music for many years. I have a few artists that accompany me throughout multiple stages of my life and I will definitely keep you with me for a much longer time
YES! I knew someone would do a Godfrey inspired song eventually. Glad it was you. Very nicely done. Godfrey is probably my favourite character in Elden ring. His axe? A Mere symbol. The Beast upon his back? Actually there to keep him in check. His crown? Warranted with strength. The battle with him is basically the final crucible for the tarnished. The first lord and his distant kinsman seeing who will take the crown. Throughout the game characters belittle you for being tarnished, but ironcally the actual Elden Lord treats you with respect. He was also the first tarnished afterall. The actual fight is also up there among the best. A classic souls brawl without weird timings or magic bullshit. A solid challenge to see how well you learned the basics and if you can keep calm under a barrage of quick attacks.
My theory that as his men died in battle he got overwhelmed and surrounded I don't think that any enemy could actually fight him in 1v1 and win especially at his prime
Hello Aviators. I wanted to tell you that I really like your music. I initially found you through MLP songs. And by the way, I downloaded almost all of them ^^ (I downloaded all MLP songs. I just didn’t download music without words). In general, I want to thank you for what MLP songs were doing back then, which I consider simply masterpieces. I liked them very much. But the rest of your music is amazing too. I'm sure. I think I should search and listen more later)) I wish you all the best and success in your future work (I mean creating music). I hope you notice this...❤
Aviators...its been so long. You're my number one musician and this big gap in songs is starting to scare me. If you are able to, please come back. Your music is too great to have such a sudden stop
I will remind all of you that godfrey was absolutely demolished in the opening, we see him stabbed with a single greatsword and serosh having fallen as well instead of slain by him. Meaning 1 sole man was able to take down both godfrey and serosh. And then hung them up so the rest of the world to see his might. This of course implies that when he got grace, he demolished said guy because he had infinite revives until he reached his end of fighting you. To prepare you for the final test of might, for fighting a god. Of course we learn that 1 on 1, he wipes the floor with elden beast. If you remove his grabs of course (he spends VERY long using the grabs) infact he can kill malenia if he has grabs that can hit her. Though malenia does have healing and rot, so you would have to edit his ai a little to avoid the scarlet explosion attack, but other than that he easy solo's her.
That does not mean he was fairly soloed....he also has arrows in him which probably means the tarnished were fighting each other which explained why you are able to just jump into limgrave and in like an hour fight morgott And also no game mechanics are not a valid measurement of power. Lore wise rhadan melenia miquella and the elden beast all absolutely destroy our boy. With the strongest being the elden beast and seccond place being a tie between miquella and melania since they both achive godhood
Dude i don't know why you don't have much subcribe on your channel because your music it just incroyable i can't launch a playlist without one song you made.
My friends and I finally beat this game last week. Glad I have another Elden song to binge to celebrate overcoming scheduling conflicts 😂 Now to do a solo run.
I need an instrumental of this. You've out done yourself. My favorite Elden Ring inspired song so far. Which is hard to admit among all the great bangers you've got. Fucking dope!
The thing I love about Godfrey/Houra Loux is that he showes you respect.
When you're killed by him he encourages you to get stronger and when he is defeated he praises you for your strength and tells you that you are worthy of a crown.

He has no choice BUT to respect the dude he knows essentially killed his son
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq
True but it's that he doesn't insult you in any way while fighting you.
He could have been bitter and vengeful but no he just says "Thy strength befits a crown."

Also in the middle of the battle he deems you worthy enough to fight him at his full strength, Serosh was his limiter.
Gideon saying that no tarnished can become Elden Lord, but right after having THE first Elden Lord commend you and treat you as an equal was pretty epic. Dude just saw how far youve had to come and instantly recognizes your strength and thus your claim.

Also keep in mind that Godfrey was also the first Tarnished so Gideon was top tier bullshitting.
“If you choose ambition, lord, then choose it honestly, with cruelty. If you would make a mountain of the dead, pile it so it reaches the sky. If you would shed blood, then let it run as a river.”

Wait it's all rivers of blood, mountains of corpses?
Always has been
"what about the deserts, sir?"
"bone-dust, from unto the horizon on"
"Thy strength befits a crown"
"Tarnished Warrior twas nobly fought"
These quotes shoes Godfrey's respect for our character throughout the fight.
He knows that even the Tarnished can produce heirs
@@samurexatlas7373 Fair point. I was just thinking of the direct dialouge and not implications.

@@RoyalShadow42 They've collab'd several times by now, so it's not too surprising. Talent recognizes talent anyway.
@SoundOfTheAviators be honest this was inspired by finally beating ng+9
now you need to make a godfrey/houra loux song
*"Thy strength befits a crown."*
Your Grace leads you to him, just as his leads to you. After so long, both endlessly fighting opponents that can be called gods, the two greatest Tarnished should settle once and for all who is truly worthy of becoming the Elden Lord.
Please Apple Music
My mind read that in the voice of vaatividia
I do like how the song can be seen as one for both Godfrey, and the Player Character.

So, I just say, Aviators: being my single most respected composer and one of the coolest male singing voices across the internet, you have no idea how important for me is this Godfrey anthem of yours.
Got pretty emotional, thanks!
@@Anomalyresearchlabsa few of the lyrics got messed up
Not really, it was mostly just people screaming "FIRST!!!!!"
@@sparki9085there were some with good promise
Hearing your music is immediately a wonderful cheer up to any day!! This song is absolutely incredible! Even as someone that hasn't touched Elden Ring before, I've been hearing it a lot ever since I found it in the album along with all of the others!! And this one is incredible like all of the other ones!!
You music is wonderful! and keep on bringing great smiles to everyone's faces and great tunes to everyone's ears too ^^✨🎶🎵
"Every chance to die, is inspiration to survive." Has to be my favorite line in all of this
It's just perfect
Edit: thank you all for the 100+ likes, never expected this to get so many

Something special here, a heartfelt song for a true warrior.
Aviators and Miracle Of Sound making some of the best themed music ive ever listened to
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE TO BE A VIDEO!!!
One of my favorite Avi songs of the past few years for sure!
Hooray, it’s back to listen to! And thank you for fixing the on-screen lyrics! I often like to look at music videos, and I would have felt bad if that error hasn’t been noticed reasonably quickly.
Got to say, music is amazing as always! But I really like the additional work you put into the great cinematography with the people you work with! Huge respect!
YES! I’ve been so excited for the music video to this song! It’s so well put together! I’ve always wondered how the choir was done, and then I joined the discord and realized. I was so happy you include your audience! Thank you for all you’ve done and I’m ready for another year of new amazing adventures and new epic songs!
Man I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos!!!
This was super fun to sing with, and this was an amazing song!
This is an amazing piece of work. I can't wait to revisit the rest of your music.
Thank you
This is absolutely fucking excellent guys. It's so quiet yet full of energy just waiting to be unleashed. It hits hard with each note getting ready to leap like a lion's pounce.
I finished the game finally today. Such great timing and such a great song thank you
8+ minutes... Dunno how I missed it the first time through, but heck yes! Excellent work as usual!
This is perfect for me to listen to while I fight my favorite boss with each weapon.
it's always a blessing when aviators posts a song.
A tribute dedicated to the most badass Elden Lord ever?? Epic!
My birthday is only a few days away but this still counts.
5:09 Love these lines are sung to the beat of Radagon's theme
Holy crap it came out, I am so excited!! Can't wait to listen to this masterpiece again!!
To me, this is how meeting Godfrey felt.
Grace had completely abandoned you, when you burned the Erdtree, but now you knew your path forward. Despite the gods denying you your journey, you continued to the courtyard, where HE waited. Unlike with every other tarnished, the once and future Elden Lord was still guided by grace - and he had one obstacle left before him, the tarnished whose ambition would destroy the Golden Order beyond repair.
He should have won. It was clear that every divinity had placed their backing on him, and grace itself supported him. Instead, perhaps for the first time in the Tarnished's journey, the plans of the gods were broken. It wasn't the lowly tarnished who was defeated, but Godfrey, who was even then still loved by Marika. This final test of strength broke the old Lord... but proved that the new one was worthy of a crown all their own.
grace is given by marika. not the gods.
also you still have grace after the burning. it is the thing that supposedly allows for the tarnished to come back from death. supposedly godfrey doesnt have grace..or he just refuses to come back after death since he is too big of a chad to do so.
@@sudanemamimikiki1527 He does have grace, as we can see it leads him to the Tarnished when Morgott fades away. So either it left him when he died again or he just decided to not contest your lordship after you proved your strength.
AVI THIS IS AMAZING!What a great start to the year!
WHOOOOOOOO A CROWN IS WARRANTED WITH BARS THIS SHIT'S HEAT
Good song, been enjoying it for a while.
I know what I will have on repeat for the foreseeable future!
This human never disappoints, I swear!
I've been listening to your music for many years. I have a few artists that accompany me throughout multiple stages of my life and I will definitely keep you with me for a much longer time
Downloaded on my phone and saved to my playlist of songs. This is just amazing!
The beat here is so inspiring, it feels like a dance between two foes, I've found myself humming along in a great way. Great job!
Eyy it's out again!
Er diablo, epico se queda corto. Este trabajo fue de lo mejor que he escuchado de Aviators. MAGNIFICO!!!
another great and powerful hitting video-well done!!
Very nice song
YES! I knew someone would do a Godfrey inspired song eventually. Glad it was you. Very nicely done.
Godfrey is probably my favourite character in Elden ring. His axe? A Mere symbol. The Beast upon his back? Actually there to keep him in check. His crown? Warranted with strength. The battle with him is basically the final crucible for the tarnished. The first lord and his distant kinsman seeing who will take the crown. Throughout the game characters belittle you for being tarnished, but ironcally the actual Elden Lord treats you with respect. He was also the first tarnished afterall.
The actual fight is also up there among the best. A classic souls brawl without weird timings or magic bullshit. A solid challenge to see how well you learned the basics and if you can keep calm under a barrage of quick attacks.
godfrey is shown dead in the beginning of elden ring it makes you wonder what kind of insanely powerful creatures/warriors are in the badlands
My theory that as his men died in battle he got overwhelmed and surrounded I don't think that any enemy could actually fight him in 1v1 and win especially at his prime
@@idkhdhdbeheb considering how many weapons he's got stuck in him, that seems plausible
@@crispylizard4348 Godwyn is shown dead, not Godfrey. Also, we know who he was killed by, it was the black knife assassins
Hello Aviators. I wanted to tell you that I really like your music. I initially found you through MLP songs. And by the way, I downloaded almost all of them ^^ (I downloaded all MLP songs. I just didn’t download music without words).
In general, I want to thank you for what MLP songs were doing back then, which I consider simply masterpieces. I liked them very much. But the rest of your music is amazing too. I'm sure. I think I should search and listen more later))
I wish you all the best and success in your future work (I mean creating music).
I hope you notice this...❤
This is playing in my head 24/7 while im playing the elden ring dlc, not gonna lie. It keeps me going, it's wildly motivating!!!
I can’t wait for this album to come out on Apple Music. Hopefully it will soon because I need these songs downloaded
Bro this was fucking awesome i absolutely love the chorus of this song its just so damn perfect. It gave me chills when i heard it.
Aviators...its been so long. You're my number one musician and this big gap in songs is starting to scare me. If you are able to, please come back. Your music is too great to have such a sudden stop
God I love this. You know this means right?
Now we need one for Mogh and Morgott.
"survivor takes the lion's share" You brialliant sneaky bastard did it again with those lyrics.
Thank you for the music you release, your albums help me fall asleep at night peacefully :3
Awesome as always.
...and now we are finally near the last song of Elden Ring, one of final deaths and new dawns!
With video accompanying this song, it feels different, stronger, much stronger, benevolent and dignified, it sent shivers down my spine...
Amazing as always!
This is a great song to listen to! This is going on my playlist immediately. Can't wait for the next one.❤
AW YEAH this is my favorite song from the album!
This is enhancing my strength for the DLC.
Forget Golden Vow, forget Flame Grant me Strength, all I need is this song to bolster my power.
Still here after over ten years, and just wanted to say thank you.
Its been 5 months where are you aviators 😢
Thanks for this.
Always great.
This is absolutely one of those songs that just grows on you. Current earworm!
and yet again Aviators release a song I am legally obligated to loop bc it's too good
Here we go again. :D
This is easily my favorite song on the album (the whole thing is amazing btw) and a proper tribute to this absolute chad.
A perfect song for the perfect boss, all hail the first elden lord.
I will remind all of you that godfrey was absolutely demolished in the opening, we see him stabbed with a single greatsword and serosh having fallen as well instead of slain by him. Meaning 1 sole man was able to take down both godfrey and serosh. And then hung them up so the rest of the world to see his might. This of course implies that when he got grace, he demolished said guy because he had infinite revives until he reached his end of fighting you. To prepare you for the final test of might, for fighting a god. Of course we learn that 1 on 1, he wipes the floor with elden beast. If you remove his grabs of course (he spends VERY long using the grabs) infact he can kill malenia if he has grabs that can hit her. Though malenia does have healing and rot, so you would have to edit his ai a little to avoid the scarlet explosion attack, but other than that he easy solo's her.
That does not mean he was fairly soloed....he also has arrows in him which probably means the tarnished were fighting each other which explained why you are able to just jump into limgrave and in like an hour fight morgott
And also no game mechanics are not a valid measurement of power. Lore wise rhadan melenia miquella and the elden beast all absolutely destroy our boy.
With the strongest being the elden beast and seccond place being a tie between miquella and melania since they both achive godhood
The more I watch and listen to it the better it gets.
Another fantastic song.
Dude i don't know why you don't have much subcribe on your channel because your music it just incroyable i can't launch a playlist without one song you made.
My friends and I finally beat this game last week. Glad I have another Elden song to binge to celebrate overcoming scheduling conflicts 😂 Now to do a solo run.
once again aviators is posting peak there's never a flop in the club
0:57 Now I fight as Hoarah Loux... UUUUNNNNIIIICCCCOOOORRRRNNNN!!!!!
A SONG THAT WILL FOREVER ECHO IN THE SOULSBORNE COMMUNITY

Yet another magical masterpiece
Listening to this masterpiece again cause of the dlc announcement. June cant come soon enough
I need an instrumental of this. You've out done yourself. My favorite Elden Ring inspired song so far. Which is hard to admit among all the great bangers you've got. Fucking dope!
