Ah, there is a reason, it’s because he was always scared to be lord of frenzy flame, but the fluidity in his movements are meant to show his certainty and confidence in his choice.
In terms of art direction and ost this is easily my favorite. It could have had a bit more difficulty. I always thought it would be so sick if the roof started to completely burn away. And he also could have used just a few more moves or a third phase where he gets those new moves. The problem with the first phase is that almost everyone does too much damage which skips such a big part of the music.
I had the same thought once, like what if the roof or the manse collapsed and your fighting him in the open or sth, there’s even an inaccessible space behind the manse. Also yeah the OST in phase 1 takes forever to peak, the build up is great but you have to actively stall to make it play completely bc he transitions at like 70%
I love the OST for this fight to death. Throughout your journey you fight demi-gods and dragonlords who are just in your way to becoming Elden Lord, or you actively go out of your way to hunt them down. This fight is desperate, you HAVE to win this or else Midra is going to use the frenzied flame to consume the whole world. Not even Elden Beast or PCR are this kind of threat, they just want to rule. This is you fighting to save the whole world from being melted down into a singularity, no matter who you side with when you become Elden Lord, this guy HAS to go. And the OST compliments that so perfectly, absolute masterpiece of a boss.
Midra quicky took my top spot for favorite bosses in the game, but i was yet to see his fight like you put it. He really is a masterpiece of a character, undisputed.
One of the best boss fights in FromSoft history, I just wish he had a more chaotic and terrifying 3rd and final phase, and more health so I can keep hearing this masterpiece of a soundtrack. His theme is my favorite OST in any FromSoft game, and yes even better than Ludwig’s in my opinion (Ludwig’s theme is phenomenal and iconic yes, but no theme sent chills down my spine the way Midra’s theme does)
I do appreciate that they didn’t go full chaotic mode bc the controlled and dance like movements make the flame of frenzy more haunting imo. But yeah I definitely wouldn’t mind a third phase with some new insane combos or sth Also agree on the OST part, easily in my top 5 boss themes oat
PRAISE THE ALGORITHM FOR BLESSING ME WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION. This was absolute peak cinema, and Rellana's Swords are so elegant and stylish, so it made it 100% better.
if u get bored of using the same weapons over again u should try carian thrusting shield and shamshir offhand with like winged sword insignia. u can keep attacking with the shield in right hand and keep damage buff up with shamshir when the opportunity presents itself. It’s really fun to play cause u can literally go inch for inch with some bosses. (I also use parry for shamshir in offhand)
nice suggestion, I haven’t really played around with the thrusting shields much, I tried it for rellana a bit but didn’t really get into it. Sounds like a sick build
@@stealthy9754 relatable, the first recording I had was also clean but he didn’t do his spin attack for the entire 9 minute fight which annoyed me afterwards so I got on my other character and recorded a new one lol
Let’s gooo 2025! 4:42..4:50 : This part is awesome, very nice dodges while countering with attacks 5:28..5:35 : Wow I didn't remember that moment of music! so cool! 6:13 : It was fire here every fight you impress me ♡ It was a pleasure to see a fight against Midra again, this boss is so cool, you were awesome as always, thanks Velo ❤️
thanks so much irbis as always, really happy u enjoyed it! I’m glad people are still hyped to see midra fights even though I’ve done a couple already, but there’s always cool new moments where the music just shines with the movement
OMG VELOKETH IS BACK IN BIG 2025!! Always impressive fights against bosses, I still kinda get destroyed by Midra more times than not, I find him surprisingly difficult, even though I got much better against more difficult bosses lol. 😢
EYYYY HEY TARNISHED IS BACK TOO POG Tbh I get it, he’s decently difficult and I find his frenzy beams/splashes still hard to dodge, especially on mid roll. Also a couple of his melee moves look very similar but are timed differently. And you gotta be vigilant for the dagger move
@@HeyTarnished during my practice he did the dagger move three times back to back just to bully me for thinking it’s safe to get a quick hit in lol. Glad you’re here, hope you had a great start into the new year!
I started the radabeast recording and radagon is pretty smooth but Elden beast really takes forever on my Ng+ character. so maybe that or revisiting some dlc bosses or ds3
My favorite boss in the DLC. Atmosphere and music are unique, and I like midra's moveset. It makes me feel the perfect balancing in pacing, without having too much chaos or visual effects involved, also almost everything has good readability.
after the jump attack? If you do a backstep immediately after it won’t hit you, I’m also wearing the all crucibles talisman so maybe the additional i-frames made it possible
Second-most fun fight in Elden Ring. First title goes to Messmer, but they’re certainly close rivals.
agree, tho bayle is also up there for me
I just wish midra had more moves. Most of his moves just kinda feel the same
I feel like both of them are extremely fun but Messmer fight is more fun as a challenge and Midra fight is more fun as a “dance” with the boss
i like how you let him to hit you in the special moments, making it more cinematic
Midra looks so chill while trying to kill us
he’s just a chill guy wanting to see the universe burn
Ah, there is a reason, it’s because he was always scared to be lord of frenzy flame, but the fluidity in his movements are meant to show his certainty and confidence in his choice.
@@ADemonSoup He looks so relieved after enduring so much pain. He can't help but succumb to the joy of accepting the cursing freedom Frenzy gave him.
It's crazy how much damage Mini Midra takes before you get to the good fight.
yeah he’s a tanky boy, especially without proper upgrades/scadu levels. Also the hyper armor moves lmao
he has only 200 less health than Godrick
He has more health than maliketh 💀
5:50 the rise with the crescendo was so perfect

Like if you have been killed by Mini Midra.
surely never happened to me…

Listen to the ost with the slowed and reverberation. .
Makes it even better.
4:11 man that epic staredown with the music almost stopping before going all out in the second phase. Talking about cinematic fights!
Making one of the best fight of the dlc optional is such a Fromsoftware's move
Midra is my favorite boss
PRAISE THE ALGORITHM FOR BLESSING ME WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION. This was absolute peak cinema, and Rellana's Swords are so elegant and stylish, so it made it 100% better.
W algorithm, glad you enjoyed it!!
The music sync at 4:59 was so good
Like a conductor with his sinister chorus
Let's go, you're well and truly back in 2025. I can't wait to see her after work ❤
I AM!!! glad you’re back too, hope u had a great start into the year
Cinematic AF ❤
We're 5 days into 2025 and it's a 2024 DLC.
A bit too soon to pull a title like this.
always two steps ahead
but also the title is just a meme dw
Always superb ❤
Keep up the amazing content. Would love to see more malenia and pcr fights with spell melee hybrid builds.
thanks! yeah I wanna fight them again soon, spellblade would be sick fs

Huh, what's the odd that i found this after doing a no hud Midra fight yesterday, good stuff
eyy nice, starting the year with a banger
@Veloketh the fight didn’t went my way, no cool finisher, but still a clean fight, i guess i will remake it in the next ng+ cycle
@@stealthy9754 relatable, the first recording I had was also clean but he didn’t do his spin attack for the entire 9 minute fight which annoyed me afterwards so I got on my other character and recorded a new one lol
@Veloketh yeah, it’s always the take that you fought so well but ended up not getting that one opening that you want 😭
A B S O L U T E C I N E M A
🖐😐🤚
the 🐐
I was just wondering when you would upload again. Stop reading my mind lmao! Also im very happy to see you made it to the 2k :)
Eyy what’s up, feels like you’re summoning me every time lol. Also thanks, we hit it right before the end of the year hehe, pretty amazing
Let’s gooo 2025!
4:42..4:50 : This part is awesome, very nice dodges while countering with attacks

@Veloketh Yeah right? Those daggers always get me, like 90% of the time lol. So glad to see ya 👋 ❤

What’s the armour?
it’s the dryleaf robes, rest is winged serpent helmet, rellana’s greaves and fire knight gloves
@ ok thank you
so what's next?
I started the radabeast recording and radagon is pretty smooth but Elden beast really takes forever on my Ng+ character. so maybe that or revisiting some dlc bosses or ds3
My favorite boss in the DLC.

how didnt you get hit at 2:51??

what is this cape?
it’s the dryleaf robes
Game just came out?
Yes 🗿
Hi again, have you looked at or played Monster Hunter World some more?
I’ve played a bit with a friend and been listening to a playlist with MH OST that a moot on twitter made
That’s good, are you going to make some Monster Hunter World videos this year of 2025 maybe?
@@EliteMonsterAdventures still not sure since the channel is so focused on souls, but if I can get some good fights I’ll probably share them
@ Ok, I understand. I still can’t wait for you to make Monster Hunter World videos.
The DLC literally came out not even a year ago. Calm down
I‘m just trolling with the title lmao I’m aware
Midra will always be cinema even on June 22nd 2024.
Very bloodborne 😁
a hoonter must hoont
🖐😐🖐
Would’ve been sick if you deflected his attacks using the deflect tear
good idea, I’ll try that next time I get to him
