I swear, the camera is his greatest element, I could barely understand what was happening on screen every time he got close to me. Cool boss design, but horrible fight close quarters.
You know a boss theme is great when you're trying to focus as hard as you can on fighting but your brain is constantly interrupted by "god the music goes hard"
@@Jhas14ducks the grace name seems to confirm it, the boss arena is where they used to have a festival with ritualistic dances. Thats propably also the origin of those spinny hornsent with the crescent twinblades
Lol yeah, though you can just snipe the beast with scarlet rot and poison arrows before even jumping into the arena, everytime the beast changes into deathblight it'll summon the lil weirdos behind you so still be careful
In fact, I was really glad to see him. Because the fight was great and it really was the most fun fight I've ever had in Elden Ring. I was happy to be able to fight him again, but it was really frustrating to have those goddamn death blight frogs spawn.
You know I fully expected (and I'm sure everyone else) the model to be some horrifying grafted amalgamation like a grafted Scion or something when it was first introduced in the trailer but no it's literally just two dudes in a costume gg fromsoft gg
The fact that they integrate a lot of elements of chinese festival music works so well with this boss as it is directly inspired by chinese lion dancers.
I love how this fight didn't even have a second phase. The boss just transformed when he wanted to and cycled on his own timer. Really refreshing boss design to be honest.
I really loved that as well, before Elden ring came out I was thinking a cool boss design would be if it timed its attacks to the music and this is kinda close. Although it is kindve a second phase since he only starts doing it at around half health. I probably only that since you've died 50 times less than me.
Who else beat the boss and then came here immediately because it sounded so good? Also while I’m here 1:52 - 2:15 is one of the best things to ever grace my ears
Bro its sooo good Im glad the music went as hard was like Thor in rag meeting Hulk when I entered the boss room and the cut scene was going and the music was building up too it its so awesome.
My fav part is that thanks to how the music works 99% of the time the beat will drop as he swaps from lighting to frost It just makes the fight that little bit more immersive and amazing
Fighting this boss is literally like eating a well cooked meal. Even though it’s hard you enjoy ever second of it because of how masterfully it’s crafted.
For real, Shoi Miyazawa delivered some of the best in the base game. When I heard this music, I knew right away that he also made this piece. The man never missed!
Did she do some stuff for the DLC? The work she did do in Elden Ring is both phenomenal and unique when compared to her usual style. The Agheel/Dragons theme filling her more classic niche while Regal Ancestor Spirit being her different takes. All still beautiful sounding.
@@snimon5824for what i've seen, she was involved in 4 DLC tracks ? I might be wrong though But fromsoftware casualy having the best composers of the videogame industry is something amazing
While it's good to see she's broadening her horizons from a career standpoint, I'd like to think she'll make an occasional contribution for From in the future if she chooses to. Kind of like how Nobuo Uematsu writes a theme or two for an upcoming Final Fantasy game (as he did with FF7:Rebirth this year), even though he's not with Square-Enix anymore.
Stopped fighting him then and just went into dancing with him by dodging him. I have the Silver armor set with the beasts and amazing blue cape, reduced from heavy to medium, so it looks like an epic fight.
wym it was perfectly fitting for an amalgamation of humanoid bodies with a lion's head that twitches and turns in an erratic manner and can summon elemental storms... what type of music would you expect
I think this boss is weirdly depressing, it was a expression of celebration and beauty that was turned into a war machine, essentialy destroying their own culture in favor of trying to keep themselves alive and still failing at it and you can still feel this duality in the song.
Well they didn’t really destroy anything. From what I read the omen people just realised they could turn the lion dances into aggressive battle moves and we see this in the belurat enemies as well. There’s no reason why they couldn’t just go back to dancing normally if they won the war.
@@MartinPurathur I was talking hypothetically in terms of hindsight as It’s not really even an if at this point. We arrive in the shadowlands in what is basically the thousands of year aftermath of a war they have already lost.
I mean... if you dig deeper into their lore, their culture and traditions were always built on human sacrifice on an industrial scale, I don't think it was that much of a stretch to turn their celebratory dances into war tactics. Hell, this creature is itself an approximation of their own holy warriors that dwell on the tower.
The best divine beast warriors are chosen to serve in the dancing lion . Their ability to conjure storms is what makes them eligible. So no i wouldnt call it an approximation, its the ultimate form of their cult.
Just finished fighting this boss and I had to come back and listen to the ost again, holy shit that fight went insanely hard. If that's the standard for shadow of the erdtree, I can't wait to see what else the game has to offer.
Can't speak for too many of the bosses yet (no spoilers) but I'll say that a part of the DLC map is really boring. Looks beautiful but it's a whole lot of empty and copy-pasted nobody enemies with a repeat boss here and there. Also bored of seeing those big ogre guys everywhere lol
this boss is one hell of a first impression for the DLC, in both fight and music. I just beat it and it felt on the spectacle level of some of the coolest bosses of the main game, for a boss that isnt even a named character!
I love how this theme never goes completely insane and chaotic like most ER boss themes. The steady rythm is there from beginning to end. A dance that doesn't stop until one of you dies.
2:38 and onward - goodness me this goes hard. I’ve rarely heard Fromsoft dabble into this tone of sound before, so it’s just as refreshing as it is epic!
@@cosmic2750 listen to more music. Stop exaggerating. Its good but it can't legitimately be the greatest thing you've ever heard unless you're a hermit
3:20 this part usually hits towards the end of the fight for me and the increasing tension just elevates the entire thing into the deadliest but most beautiful dance. the Hornsent are probably my favorite society Fromsoft has ever created. man this dlc is incredible so far
When I hear stuff like 1:52 I wish I could write/compose/whatever music because that is truly insane to me how good it is. Like hows someone brain even put that together, and so well at that?
@@janogabor7697 yeah I did Some research and the Japanese lion dance is almost entirely cloth, barring the wooden head. Whereas the chines lion dance is an entire decorated costume, something that the divine beast is not. The dancing lion boss design is more akin to the Japanese dance
And to add insult to injury, the grab places a debuff on you. The debuff will leach off of your crimson tears. So if you heal while debuffed, you heal the lion.
What’s sad about this boss is that the divine beasts were put to “martial means” when Messmer was sent to purge the hornsent. They were originally just costumes designed for plays and festivals from their culture, forced into weapons :(
Man it just had to be Shoi Miyazawa … that mad lad got his chance in ER and went all out in the base game, and now this masterpiece, not to forget one of the best OSTs in AC6 with the Ibis series CEL 240. His future is bright.
i’ve listened to this OST basically everyday since the DLC came out and i can’t get enough dude. absolutely my favorite Elden Ring OST and even FromSoft OST. it’s just like the most badass, demented waltz and it goes so hard
I loved everything about this boss. They did a beautiful job translating actual lion dancing into boss attacks. The way they shake the head, the way the mouth moves, standing very tall and the jumping... So nostalgic! Incredible fight.
Fight was crazy as hell for me, I was using Godfreys axe and I would use his element change animation to buff myself with the ash of war. This part of the song played with his roar and my character doing the battle cry
“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.”
This whole fight was a spectacle from start to finish. Especially the lightning phase was visually stunning! The amazing OST is the cherry on top. Masterpiece!
I am absolutely convinced that this boss is this generation's ludwig. both are gamebreaking with their own niches ( ludwig being a mastery of bone and mesh design and the lion boss is a show of fromsoft's Cloth physics mastery) each have kick ass osts and they both sync to their osts. not to mention both having horrible cameras 😅 both are most likely the player's first encounter in the dlc
My favorite part about the theme is that there’s a wild rhythm to it reminiscent to a festival, which is the origins of the boss, a graceful dance utilized for war. And is it just me, or appearance wise it looks like it takes inspiration from Chinese Dragon dances and the traditional image of the Tarasque? Because that just fits the theme even more. God I love FromSoft.
The whole fight with this guy my mouth was agape in pure awe, and I never once got mad when I died to him because it meant I could listen to the theme even more. It was probably just my settings, but it felt like as the fight progressed the music actually got louder in-game and it made it so much more intense. I’m so glad FromSoft is letting the themes have driving motifs again, the majority of the base game boss themes felt indistinguishable from each other for the most part.
O Horn-deck'd beast, from higher sphere deliver'd. We beg of thee to dance and cavort. Dance and cavort, cleanse all that thou wilt. Cruelty, woe, and those who plague the tower. Cleanse away the strumpet's vile progeny.
I'm not even joking when I say this game is the best game I've ever played and the best boss I've ever had the pleasure of fighting. It's so goddamn good and there aren't any flaws or dislikes I have; even the fucking difficulty is well made! Also, it can't be just me when I say that this mofo is DEFINITELY attacking me to the music.
The incredible thing is that the boss is literally dancing the entire fight, and the music is as much a part of the fight as he is. He follows his own musical cues.

My favorite part of the boss is how in its lightning phase is does a square up walk towards you in time with the music.
I honestly prefer the sumo stomp in the ice phase, but the second he pulled out ANY element for the first time I audibly yelled “Holy fuck”.

That OST is literally Miyazakis welcome gift for the shadow realm.
the buildup at 0:40 is so good
The drums are heavenly
Especially as it's chasing you down
Creates a claustrophobic effect
This ost is nutty already one of my favs from the game especially phase 2
I lost so many times to him, and I am not even mad! Amazing boss design along with the soundtrack!
I loved everything about this boss. They did a beautiful job translating actual lion dancing into boss attacks. The way they shake the head, the way the mouth moves, standing very tall and the jumping... So nostalgic! Incredible fight.
3:06 and on is just pure raw strength and confidence
"I'm the dancing lion! And I'ma be dancing on your grave~"
- dancing lion
-dancing clown
There are times when the lion roaring to the sky, transitioning to other element and the music is right at 1:59
It looks so epic, goddamn!
Fight was crazy as hell for me, I was using Godfreys axe and I would use his element change animation to buff myself with the ash of war. This part of the song played with his roar and my character doing the battle cry
“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.”
Best boss fight in all of Elden Ring IMHO. This track being a big part of the reason why it's top for me.
2:45 The vocals are so satisfying here. It feels like a real song that I would watch Lion Dancers dance to.
Oh, a man of culture
can't wait for this to release on spotify
It feels like a celebration more than a fight ...... Masterpiece
This whole fight was a spectacle from start to finish. Especially the lightning phase was visually stunning! The amazing OST is the cherry on top. Masterpiece!
This part is so good 1:01
Best part
Sounds kinda like living failures choir
My fav
This is some of the hardest shit I’ve ever heard in my life.
The boss fight could easily be the final boss to any game. And it one of the fist ones in the dlc!
This boss is so fucking cool
Imagine having to make a game after shadow of the erdtree. These people are so talented they still dont think they peaked with this. I love that.
I am absolutely convinced that this boss is this generation's ludwig. both are gamebreaking with their own niches ( ludwig being a mastery of bone and mesh design and the lion boss is a show of fromsoft's Cloth physics mastery) each have kick ass osts and they both sync to their osts. not to mention both having horrible cameras 😅 both are most likely the player's first encounter in the dlc
It was like we were fighting in a movie scene. Absolute cinema
Also this bro ruclips.net/video/QPkVS0gfxbU/видео.html
@@Qiuvox YESS!! 🙌
Shoi myiazawa is so fucking great composer
shit makes me wanna dance like a divine beast dancing lion
My favorite part about the theme is that there’s a wild rhythm to it reminiscent to a festival, which is the origins of the boss, a graceful dance utilized for war.
And is it just me, or appearance wise it looks like it takes inspiration from Chinese Dragon dances and the traditional image of the Tarasque? Because that just fits the theme even more.
God I love FromSoft.
The whole fight with this guy my mouth was agape in pure awe, and I never once got mad when I died to him because it meant I could listen to the theme even more.
It was probably just my settings, but it felt like as the fight progressed the music actually got louder in-game and it made it so much more intense.
I’m so glad FromSoft is letting the themes have driving motifs again, the majority of the base game boss themes felt indistinguishable from each other for the most part.
1:58 when he goes in ice goes so hard
@@felixcote1697 That’s actually the wind transition!
That’s actually the wind transition!
@@simonloos2092 it's random whether it goes into any of the phases.
@@TheBiggleCheese Not the music. The music is specific to phases.

O Horn-deck'd beast, from higher sphere deliver'd. We beg of thee to dance and cavort. Dance and cavort, cleanse all that thou wilt. Cruelty, woe, and those who plague the tower. Cleanse away the strumpet's vile progeny.
1:28 Phase 2 you will feel some Elements ⚡❄🌪
🦁
I'm not even joking when I say this game is the best game I've ever played and the best boss I've ever had the pleasure of fighting.
It's so goddamn good and there aren't any flaws or dislikes I have; even the fucking difficulty is well made!
Also, it can't be just me when I say that this mofo is DEFINITELY attacking me to the music.
fought this guy day one and immediately knew this dlc was gonna be peak and I was so fucking right dear god.
0:00 to 3:53 best part
"Damn this music goes hard, I wish I could see what the fuck is happening"
-Me during the Dancing Lion fight
The incredible thing is that the boss is literally dancing the entire fight, and the music is as much a part of the fight as he is. He follows his own musical cues.
How do they always cook?
this ost is otherworldly
I'm in ng+7 struggling a lot and heard the 1:52 part right before dying. I rushed here to appreciate the entire music, what a nice musical piece
