I felt bad for him. The guy was enduring all that pain and suffering to protect others from the Frenzied Flame, and then some tarnished comes to his house and does exactly what he warned them not to: approaches him, and by extension, the Flame.
@@Destroyer120296 The Frenzied Flame will always return. It is the end. The end will always come, eventually. All things have an end and he is that end.
I imagine Melina with Destined Death flames raging around her, staring down the Frenzy Lord with her glowing eye. The Gloam-Eyed Queen Vs The Lord of Frienzied Flame, at the end of the world. Damn I really want to see that fight
@@rangopistacho6928 then what do you believe? Its her daughter? Reincarnation? The only main characters who use Destined Death as a weapon are Maliketh and the GEQ
@@KuraSourTakanHour I'd personally bet on reincarnation through the Golden Order - many of Marika's children display the power of divine elements she suppressed, including Rot, fire, etc. Melina has both eyes, but one of them is the Gloam Eye that isn't in the Tarnished's pocket after talking to Gurranq. So, reincarnated gloam eyed power, born as the Kindling Maiden.
I always think that if we were tarnished and we didn't revive and comeback. We are technically amazingly stupid and dying of literally everything. Almost any boss would be the real death of us
I think my favorite underrated part about this fight is the fact that you GOTTA kill him, not only cuz he’s gonna straight up rip the world asunder if he gets loose, but also because he has been deemed a lord… and there can only be one.
I don't think he has any reason to leave, infact he hates himself for doing this. He is a failed lord who is in his mansion because of his own actions that led to him being in the state we found him in. I don't think he has the will to try to burn the world again. And if he tried there is 100% someone he won't be able to get past
I love this boss and the entire area, it's very different from the rest in the DLC but I feel like the point of it is really to just try and to put the fear inside you this theme fits that very well and I love it.
Even getting to the building is pretty ominous and you understand instantly when realizing not even Torrent will step foot there that something dangerous is there
@@DinosaurBoy04 the later half of the ost being a waltz is so fitting for the bosses fighting style as well. I don’t think they could have made a better song for this boss
I was frankly getting annoyed with the abyss area, it felt super empty, and no friggin horse. I searched the whole damn thing for no rewards, to finally find this at the very last unexplored spot. Then i see the frame! THAT was the guy i wanted to see the most then this track! I was floored! And i forgave everything. Miyazaki you wonderful bastard!
I really don't think that's a real instrument. Even if it is, it sounds like they recorded a bass and then sampled and compressed it. Though, it's much more likely that it is a Virtual Sub Bass as it makes sense within the context as well because of the whole 'otherworldly' feel of The Flame of Frenzy and The Three Fingers.
Or maybe that's the Frenzied Flame itself toying with you as you try and stop the abomination Midra has become and there's that lingering fear that Midra could easily kill you just by looking at him but decided not to and it just wants to see you struggle in fear and horror
I think the bosses in this dlc will do specific moves or phase transitions based on the music. I think it's most notable during the dancing lion every time he switches elements.
The true fear this theme installs is bone chilling, as if it’s conveying you made a grave mistake not turning back while you could. Makes me like this boss even more now
I LOVE that "The Song Of Despair" can be heard around the 3:43 mark. It's my favorite piece of music in the entire game and hearing it when fighting Midra for the first time gave me goosebumps
5:55 I love the solo singer, he sounds so lonely and pained. But it ends with a peaceful note, it resolves. It's not all agony in the end, and the King in Yellow didn't have to endure any longer.
This fight is aloooot like radagon…. I like it. Sure it has extremely delayed attacks but they’re nicely telegraphed and you actually know what he’s doing. This fight was a breath of fresh air in the dlc where most bosses are either incredibly fast, or does some wonky shit to where you can’t even tell what they’re doing, and this was still a challenge boss.
Incredible speed is a favourite of mine in bosses, I absolutely loved Rellana and Messmer, but yeah there's something extremely fun in how Midra plays. He just works so well
Only boss I put my summon sign down because I actually can’t get enough. The visuals are insane and the soundtrack compliments the fight. Wish they would make more frenzied flame content because it’s all been peak so far. Actually got chills on my first attempt and now nothing in the dlc can itch my brain as this boss did.
when he got back up and the music hit I audibly said "oh shit" I was so surprised, not cause i didn't expect it but that introduction was incredible. I got popped a few times just cause I was watching him glide around the arena looking so cool LOL.
I liked how we were all wrong about his lore too, haha, i thought he was the botanist man on the Leyndell statues, nope, complete side quest that i don't think connects to anything but good god damn piece with the creepiest moving mofo. God damn that was good.
I love how even though once he goes full lord and he doesn't speak anymore, you just feel so much personality. You'd expect the Lord of Frenzy and Chaos to be wild and untamed and viscously attack. But he's slow, methodical, it's like a dance the way he moves. And he just throws his arms up during several attacks and even his grab. He's enjoying this, he's loving every single second of being the avatar of the deadliest creature in the lands.
Well it is said that embracing the frenzied flame brings peace to the mind, especially to those who were suffering beforehand. The frenzied flame burns away all pain and suffering and leaves you with only chaos. Midra here probably suffered more than almost anyone in this world. So when he embraced the frenzied flame, he must have felt indescribable relief and freedom from his torment. No wonder his movements look so joyous and relaxed.
May chaos take the world! Also, something cool I noticed. How the entire song is all conflicting chords and weird chromatics, just for the end to be a single, solemn voice. Much like how the philosophy of frenzy flame is to burn everything down into one.
the crescendo at 4:53 just makes me wanna reach up high into the sky with both my arms like my maniac tarnished does in the FF ending. easily one of the best fights and OST's in the game.
It fits, given the themes of madness and the destruction of one's own mind that the Frenzied Flame does. That's not even counting the cosmic horror side of the Frenzied Flame being a byproduct of the Greater Will, an outer god that we STILL do not understand much of, both in terms of power and ultimate goals.
This was such a fun and fair boss. All other bosses in the dlc are also very good but do have some bullshit. This felt like a very good ds3 boss where you dodge through every swing. The music came straight out of bloodborne, as did the atmosphere. One of the best bosses in the game bar none.
This music really makes you feel like you are fighting something world ending. The antithesis of life itself, a destroying force of pure despair born of anguish. The lord of fenzied flame is nothing to be trifled with. And, it implies thw influence of frenzy has been around for far longer than we thought. Midra was not the first lord of frenzied flame, and he will not be the last.
I didn't expect this boss and the whole level to be so enjoyable considering the theme and things like that madness tower in the base game. In the times of DS2 this kind of level would have been absolute hell.
Oh yeah for sure, DS2 had some beautifully hellish levels, I kinda miss that game design tbh, I want to crawl out of levels with no heals and a smudge of a health bar thanking GOD I finally found the next bonfire hahaha
I spent a non-insignificant amount of this fight wondering why Midra's theme was giving me serious Ludwig Vibes. Besides all the similarities in the area, atmosphere, and music to Bloodborne, it took me a bit to realize that the real reason the theme reminds me of Ludwig so much is that just like Ludwig's theme, Midra's them is also literally a waltz. You are dancing with death and insanity alike, in a waltz to decide the fate of reality itself.
Elden Ring bosses are best when they feel like a dance. I would say Midra is the most like that in the DLC for me, only beat out by Godfrey in the base game.
Honestly this is my 3rd dlc from the FromSoftwares and Midra is my favorite boss fight in the entire game for me. The music, the mansion, the depressing and chaotic theme is wonderful. 10/10. They should have make Midra the final boss with some more hp and possibly a 3rd phase. ☠️
The way his movements flow with the flame and how his tattered cloak blends with the fire as this whirling dance of an ost is playing is SO GOOD. 100% with you this was my fav
@@R3m1lyAgreed, Midra is perfect as he is, he is a lot easier than other big bosses in the DLC because of his lack of evasion not helping his lower health, like how Messmer is hard to actually hit which makes his health bar seem bigger than it is
Midra in arabic means "of the heavens" and we can find corpses of three fingers inside the mansion inside the tents outside his boss arena. The aged untouchables touched the three fingers and went mad who then probably touched midra and midra researched the flame of frenzy eventually getting the sword impaled in him making him a lord of frenzied flame.
I literally thought of resident evil 1. The haunted woods, enemies you couldn’t damage, corpses in the front of a mansion, horror and mystery inside. The inquisitors outside with the most powerful in the beginning of the woods made us seem like they were keeping something in not out.
Its weird how i didnt make any connection between madness enemies and the frenzy flame until I've seen the flaming head. Definitely the best moment from the DLC for me since I've chose the Frenzied flame ending the first time and it made me say WTF with a grinn on my face.
I think one of the best parts about this boss is that even when you approach the old man, you can still leave, there is no fog wall even after you hit him. You don't HAVE to kill him. He has endured long enough. You did this.
She told him to "Endure", little did he know, he was played from the very start, a foolish and naive arcanist. Forced by a promise to endure so that later on his "unjust" feelings of suffering would be enough to power the Flame of Frenzy.
When I listen to this song, the feeling I get is that this is all just one big mockery. For example being a “lord of frenzied flame.” The way the song just announces the presence of chaos is a clear indicator. It’s as if it’s saying “you want a lord? Welp, here were are! Now come and dance with us!” In reality, chaos doesn’t adhere to any structure or hierarchy, it just wants to burn it all down, but it’ll certainly “play along” while doing so.
The way the chaotic pre-chorus melodies at 4:50 shifts into a singular chorus at 5:25 is so fucking perfect. It truly encapsulates the emotions of Midra and how much of a threat the Lord of Frenzied Flame is.
03:34 I can hear some kind of recurrence of the melody played by the frenzied flame merchant's before meeting the Three Fingers. It isn't very obvious at first, but I don't think it's my imagination. Also the choir kinda follows that old melody in some brief parts.
i remember i was trying to get to the cerulean coast and somehow ended up here lol, such a cool and memorable area. same goes for midra obviously, actual peak.
When I saw the Frenzied Flame ending I was like "If I fought that, I'd crap my pants." And I crapped my pants. Also it's my favorite DLC boss theme besides the final boss. It sounds like madness.
Its kinda scary to think about this fight. You accidentally stumbled upon a manse in the middle of the abysal woods which is already scary enough. Then you relize the litteraly lord of frenzed flame is just chilling and you HAVE to kill him cause if not might dest4oy the world.
3:12 / 3:54 absolutely MASSIVE chills. This OST and fight are truly something else, and to think of how easy it is to miss it all. Let Us Waltz into Madness.
Imo the only bs fight was Radahn, and he was the last one I fought Actually no, the Dancing Lion gave me frame drops on the xbox series s, as well as the camera. I still thought he was alright, but he was so much harder than Rellana but for all the wrong reasons
Its kinda scary to think about this fight. You accidentally stumbled upon a manse in the middle of the abysal woods which is already scary enough. Then you relize the litteraly lord of frenzed flame is just chilling and you HAVE to kill him cause if not he might destroy the world.
Gives me some biiiiig Bloodborne Vibes! In fact, the whole Area all of this play's in gives me massive Bloodborne vibes and I think it was intentional since Miyasaki and his team all want to do something with Bloodborne.... but Sony's a bitch and says no.
A man chosen by the gods against his will, left as the sole survivor of a tragic purge, rejecting his place as Lord in suffering hopes he could keep the frenzied flames buried with him in his hobbled tomb of a manor, alone. Enduring. Enduring. Always enduring. But he has endured, more than enough.

Fun fact: The “bass drop” is purely made by instruments. Every song in the Elden ring soundtrack is orchestral, and can be remade for a live show 👀
I’d love to see this performed live. What a dream.
Really? Thought it was synth
You do know that orchestral music has been using synth for decades, right?
I really don't think that's a real instrument. Even if it is, it sounds like they recorded a bass and then sampled and compressed it. Though, it's much more likely that it is a Virtual Sub Bass as it makes sense within the context as well because of the whole 'otherworldly' feel of The Flame of Frenzy and The Three Fingers.

It's kinda funny how this has a sort of waltz to it. You could easily ball dance to this
Midra's fight is a waltz in itself. The way he moves and does his attacks. It syncs up so well with the music.
Could absolutely be intentional given the parallels to The King In Yellow.

3:54 peak music right here
3:42 midra's distorted violins give me goosebumps. this is so intense, sad and pure horror at same time.

I wish we could. Get a helmet or armor set that make your head a yellow sun like flame 🔥 like that also it boost frenzied attacks
i mean you *can* get it but you need to burn the entire world... worth it
"This world isn't yours to conquer"
So the Lord of Frenzied Flame is killable. That means Melina would definitely kill you if you became one.
Welp, it didn’t end for Shabriri though, even though he wasn’t LoFF
I kept losing this fight because I was distracted by the tune being basically a spookier full orchesta version of the merchant's song.
I literally thought of resident evil 1. The haunted woods, enemies you couldn’t damage, corpses in the front of a mansion, horror and mystery inside. The inquisitors outside with the most powerful in the beginning of the woods made us seem like they were keeping something in not out.
so this is the closest I'll ever get to playing bloodborne
ITS SO PEAK!!!!!!!!
This fight was peak as hell the music and the area before fill you with dread and this just tops it to another level
Do not dabble in what is beyond your comprehension.

Its weird how i didnt make any connection between madness enemies and the frenzy flame until I've seen the flaming head. Definitely the best moment from the DLC for me since I've chose the Frenzied flame ending the first time and it made me say WTF with a grinn on my face.
How on earth is that even possible
@@CarlNiemi I really dont know why it didn't click
Which flame are the most powerful lore wise?? Frenzied flame black flame giant flame? Monk flame or messmer flame?
Im not sure but frenzy being able to destroy the entire World is pretty strong
0:00 *SPOOOOOOKY MOOOONKEEEY*
Lmao now I can’t unhear it.
It’s so nice that fromsoftware made us our very own boss music.
Best upload of this track thus far; doesn't have the skip near the end of the song.
I think one of the best parts about this boss is that even when you approach the old man, you can still leave, there is no fog wall even after you hit him.
You don't HAVE to kill him. He has endured long enough.
You did this.
He was named wrong. Instead of Midra he should have be called Peakdra.
She told him to "Endure", little did he know, he was played from the very start, a foolish and naive arcanist. Forced by a promise to endure so that later on his "unjust" feelings of suffering would be enough to power the Flame of Frenzy.
When I listen to this song, the feeling I get is that this is all just one big mockery. For example being a “lord of frenzied flame.” The way the song just announces the presence of chaos is a clear indicator. It’s as if it’s saying “you want a lord? Welp, here were are! Now come and dance with us!” In reality, chaos doesn’t adhere to any structure or hierarchy, it just wants to burn it all down, but it’ll certainly “play along” while doing so.
The way the chaotic pre-chorus melodies at 4:50 shifts into a singular chorus at 5:25 is so fucking perfect. It truly encapsulates the emotions of Midra and how much of a threat the Lord of Frenzied Flame is.
03:34 I can hear some kind of recurrence of the melody played by the frenzied flame merchant's before meeting the Three Fingers.
It isn't very obvious at first, but I don't think it's my imagination. Also the choir kinda follows that old melody in some brief parts.
Does anyone know what that sound is at 3:12
It belongs to an instrument known as the "I have absolutely no idea"
Maybe the african rain instrument
i remember i was trying to get to the cerulean coast and somehow ended up here lol, such a cool and memorable area. same goes for midra obviously, actual peak.
Did not expect the bass drop for phase 2
Bloodborne OST is Elden Ring
When I saw the Frenzied Flame ending I was like "If I fought that, I'd crap my pants." And I crapped my pants. Also it's my favorite DLC boss theme besides the final boss. It sounds like madness.
Bloodborne sountrack got mixed up with this i see.
One of my faves from the dlc
Best fight since Ludwig
"I am the lord of chaos "
"NO IAMTHELORDOFCHAOS"
Its kinda scary to think about this fight. You accidentally stumbled upon a manse in the middle of the abysal woods which is already scary enough. Then you relize the litteraly lord of frenzed flame is just chilling and you HAVE to kill him cause if not might dest4oy the world.
Peak of Gaming Music, Elden Ring peak of gaming ❤🔥
gives me dark waltz type of vibe. Like a waltz from hell. i love it
Me: The Yellow Flame of Frenzy is bad. No one should ever use it.
Me: (Hears this track)
Me: MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!
I’m intrigued by the similarities between the character designs of Messmer and the ever-brilliant Goldmask.
5:24 best part imo
I was actually disappointed by this fight, I though Midra would pose a challenge but I beat him first try in under a minute
Bleed build
This OST is the closest we will ever get to a Bloodborne 2 OST
3:12 / 3:54 absolutely MASSIVE chills. This OST and fight are truly something else, and to think of how easy it is to miss it all. Let Us Waltz into Madness.
I think the only reason why this fight is peak is because of the fact that I’m literally just fighting a ball of flame on some old guy’s head
This Is my favorite boss of the DLC! What a fun fight
honest to god this boss fight was so refreshing after all the other bullshit fights
Imo the only bs fight was Radahn, and he was the last one I fought
Actually no, the Dancing Lion gave me frame drops on the xbox series s, as well as the camera. I still thought he was alright, but he was so much harder than Rellana but for all the wrong reasons
@@bombthing that guy on a pig honestly was worse than the dancing lion
@@bombthingdon't forget golden hippopotamus camera is a literal war crime
@@camarobro1897 My brother in Christ, YOU control the camera freely and can toggle it anytime.
@c0n33r yeah, and you've lost speaking rights
most evil ost in elden ring, I love it
Its kinda scary to think about this fight. You accidentally stumbled upon a manse in the middle of the abysal woods which is already scary enough. Then you relize the litteraly lord of frenzed flame is just chilling and you HAVE to kill him cause if not he might destroy the world.
Gives me some biiiiig Bloodborne Vibes!
In fact, the whole Area all of this play's in gives me massive Bloodborne vibes and I think it was intentional since Miyasaki and his team all want to do something with Bloodborne....
but Sony's a bitch and says no.
*Until all are one again.*
The theme playing at 3:44 is the same you here beneath the capital, give me chills every time
A man chosen by the gods against his will, left as the sole survivor of a tragic purge, rejecting his place as Lord in suffering hopes he could keep the frenzied flames buried with him in his hobbled tomb of a manor, alone. Enduring. Enduring. Always enduring.
But he has endured, more than enough.
The dungeon and boss fight were so peak, the area before that though......not so much lmao
The buildup with the "don't let them see you" had so much potential too
Mmmm I love rats and empty space and rats and empty space and stealth sections and rats
Anyone else getting bloodstarved beast vibes from this?
did anyone else notice The Song of Despair woven into the song?
