- I find this theme really fascinating because it's one of the few in the game that is actually full of anxiety and worry especially compared to the other boss themes in Elden Ring.

“Regal, but desperate” is what comes to mind listening to Morgott’s theme. Such a beautifully tragic character.
Maliketh's theme is JUST desperate.
It's a badass last stand to make sure you never get Destined Death.
"Though born one of the graceless Omen, Morgott took it upon himself to become the Erdtree's protector. He loved not in return, for he was never loved, but nevertheless, love it he did."
Morgott is genuinely one of my favorite bosses in any fromsoft game
This could make a great obituary
Same, but Radahn takes the cake for me. Before the rot he was an awesome dude
Agreed. Morgott, Radahn, and Fortissax are some of the few truly heroic characters in the Lands Between. Alas, such dedication was misguided and undeserved in Morgott's case.

"Have it writ upon thy meagre grave: Felled by King Morgott, Last of All Kings." Has to be one of my favorite lines in the whole game. What an awesome character. Almost as awesome as the shirt you're rocking, Marco. Excellent analysis as always! Cheers!
Hahaha I love the shirt thank you!
That and "O'Death become my blade once more..." are honestly up there for me
@@sobo089 3rd would be "My guiding moonlight"/"Hand it over, that thing, your dark soul"
Personally i feel like godfreys cutscene hit harder, like you pissed off and killed so many people that one of the greatest legends had to come back into the scene to defend his title as first elden lord and avenge his son
From software games are packed with memorable lines
"The thrones, stained by my curse... such shame, I cannot bare. Thy part in this shall not be forgiven."
There's really one person that loved Morgott, than Morgott couldnt even admit. It's his own father, Godfrey The First Elden Lord.
The fact that he never could even talk to Godfrey again is sad. Morgott thought he was shunned, rejected and un-loved by everyone. Little did he know, he _was_ loved but never knew about it. Heartbreaking
I love that Margits theme is echoed in Morgotts theme, showing through music they're the same and he just dropped the pretense
Omen Illusion and Mohg's themes share this trait too
Fromsoft have this tendency which I truly admire, and that's confirm certain plot details not by 'telling' us outright, but showing us through their music. This of course doesn't just happen in Elden Ring, it happens in Dark Souls as well. They confirmed to us who the Nameless King was, not through text or dialogue, but music.
Another detail I feel I must add from listening to it repeatedly (since he's my personal favorite boss of Elden Ring)...That string of notes that opens the Phase 2 part of the theme? Same general melody as the Erdtree Avatar's boss theme. He really is going all out, even tapping into the accursed blood he hates more than life itself to stop you from, in his POV, potentially bringing even further ruin to an already broken land. And given some of the endings you can pick...His anxiety isn't entirely unfounded.
Love this Omen so much, wish the world he was in did too. I wanna hug him.
"Graceless Tarnished.
What is thy business with these thrones?
Ahh... Godrick the Golden. The twin prodigies, Miquella and Malenia. General Radahn. Praetor Rykard. Lunar Princess Ranni.
Wilful traitors, all.
Thy kind are all of a piece. Pillagers. Emboldened by the flame of ambition.
Have it writ upon thy meagre grave:
Felled by King Morgott! Last of all kings."
the dichotomy between him and Mohg, twin brothers who've gone down complete opposite paths yet incredibly similar still. one sees his blood as a curse, the other a blessing, yet both rely on it in the end. neither deny their deaths when you defeat them, they accept it immediately. mohg is a bit different of course.
it's incredible how much there is in the game for those two. they knew these characters would become fan favourites.
Something that stands out to me about Morgott is how 'alone' he is, and that to me plays into this anxiety and desperation.
The hill he's dying on is one nobody find important, but it's all he has left. He's not capable of turning against Leyndell because of the love he has for it, and the tragedy to me is how utterly thankless and lonely of a position it is that he ends up in. He's like a child holding onto the picture of a family that fell apart as if that will somehow stave off the reality that it's already over, everyone has already moved on and doesn't care anymore.
I think he's perfectly aware of this, and that he's just resigned to it. Even he probably thinks of himself as expendable, he's not important, the object of his love is what matters. He's forgotten about and abandons the idea that he matters as an individual, and that's just the obvious, natural reality of the world.
It's not just that he has to stand against you, it's that he has no-one, not a single person, on his side. If he buckles, it's over. It's like standing on the edge of a cliff and one step backwards will be the end of it, and there will be no-one to catch him.
That loneliness itself to me feels like it adds to how painful his existence is, and why this last fight feels so raw. It's a helpless loyalty, selfless in the worst way, trying to fulfill a duty to something that doesn't give a shit about whether he does it or not.
Honestly, I wish Morgott had been one of the endings. The Age of the Omen
But how is the relationship with his father? I mean there probably is a reason why godfrey came back and was saluting morgott before disappearing
@@kixakii436 I didn't get the impression that they ever forged a bond.
I can only assume Hoarah Loux was able to have Opinions about the two Omen kids, and it seems those were at the very least not hostile. Even so, he may not have been able to really do much about the situation given how in-control Marika appears to have been over all these affairs, and once he was banished from the Lands Between he wouldn't have been the sort of person you expect to return, or be worth waiting for.
From the perspective of a child, a father who isn't there to support you and gives no sign of actually caring from the sidelines may as well not be there at all. Tielines around this are murky, but I don't really envision them as having had familial contact the way Radagon and his offspring very likely did get to have with Renala.
From the perspective of Morgott at the time we fight him, it doesn't seem like he had any expectations or hopes regarding his father somehow being an ally to rely on, be it due to his absence with no word on his return (=he can't and likely won't be here), or because there was just no reason to assume he would step in even IF he were able to (=he doesn't care to be here).
@@Graficcha
I'd like to think Godfrey actually cared about his Omen boys, given that he himself led the crucible knights and so knows their inherent potential, but just couldn't do anything because of Marika and his duty as a lord to set an example for his people.
@@jonathanzimmer725Well that's the dung eaters ending of the omen curse. Just, Morgott ain't there obviously.
Lore wise, he is a deep complex, tragic and badass character. Gameplay wise, he has one of the most complete and complex moveset i've ever seen. Hands down the best boss in the game with Malenia, Godfrey and Maliketh
Yayyy! Morgott's my favourite character/boss in ER. What a layered and tragic story (that goes for 90% of the characters from FromSoft of course). Great analysis/reaction as always 👍
Morgott and Radahn are like my top ten favorite fromsoft characters
I only wish this boss had more HP, by far the best fight in the entire game.
And I already made my request in a different video today but kindly asking for riven of a 1000 voices.
Riven's theme would be amazing to see him react to
Mistakes were made, lol.
@@aceoffires1032 riven of a 1000 voices from Destiny 2 not League of Legends
@@ryanschulte3742 ah right, almost forgot about Riven from Destiny my bad
If you fight him before doing Rykard and mount Gelmir he has plenty of HP since you're not as strong. In my first playthrough I left leyndell as the last area cuz I thought it would be the last one, but on my other playthroughs he's a very fun and long enough fight
3:05 marco's analysis... always a blessing.
Lmfao the noises??
Almost sounded like Ludwig there
@@zangy3748 Lmfao
Some part of the sadness and tragedy of Morgott can be told by the fact he was born an Omen. He hates his cursed Omen Blood. For him, it's a stain for the order specially if you think one of the Marika's children was born as a creature treated like trash.
What’s sad is being an omen is a blessing, the golden order diminishes them because they are powerful, mohg is the example of an omen realising their true potential
Apart from what is already said both in comments and the video, among the demigods Morgott is the sole demigod who decided to stay and defend the Erdtree and the Royal Capital.
Betrayed by his siblings, unloved by his status as an Omen, Morgott the Omen King stands alone in defense of something that never loved him - and defend it he does. In the opening cutscene, he is shown striking down a figure that might be Radahn, named the mightiest demigod of the Shattering.
Perhaps the desperation and fear in the song is because, despite his utmost efforts, you, a lowly tarnished, are proving to be more than his match.
I'm looking forward to Godfrey, First Elden Lord's analysis in the stream next
That and fire giant are on cue. But tomorrow I’ll take a deeper listen prior to ranking it!
@@MarcoMeatball there's a sword monument in the graveyard by battlefield in the capital's outskirts that tells of margit (his nickname to hide the horrifying secret that the veiled monarch of leyndel is an accursed omen) piling countless corpses of heroes who tried assaulting the capital.
He's not only skilled in all manner of arms, but he also wields a giant crusher- a weapon used in the war against the giants, with great skill, suggesting he might've fought in such war (the perfumers of antiquity studied omens in an attempt to heal them, before giving up and leaving the only option for noble families is to imprison them in the sewers, or for them to join the army (omen wps desc) so it's plausible).
And such man remembers godefrey well enough to create an illusion in his image (such champion would look up to THE hero of the lands between, and one can see that morgott is skilled in making illusions suggesting it might've been his doing, and why not enlist the help of such legend?).
To have such hero and a shardbearer be in such desperation and a state of fight or flight before a tarnished (well to be fair said tarnished has atleast one more shard than him) is a miracle in of itself, how he sees it, how serious he's about, and what it means to him.
I recommend the dragonslayer armour ost from ds3, its a true masterpiece
Marco: reviews more fromsoftware
Me: immediately drops what im doing to watch
The channel was built on fromsoft’s back! Can’t forget where I came from!
"morgott, the fell down the stairs"
I think Morgott and Yhorm would've probably been friends given their somewhat similar stories of being rulers of a people whom despise them
Morgott is just the best in everything from the fight to the lore and even in the music
Morgott is awesome in all of these aspects, but I think Radahn just barely beats him out.
@@n0t_the_plague_doctor343 And Maliketh curbs both.
@@TheStraightestWhitest bruh I love maliketh but his fight is absolute cancer ngl
@@n0t_the_plague_doctor343 How? He needs to be massively buffed. The only way his fight is cancer is that it's retarded easy. He has zero health and poise. He should've gotten 30k health and 160 poise.
I do remember a specific & rare attack from morgott in second phase, where he actually starts panicking or something, and starts rapidly attacking with his weapon, and his holy weapons in like almost every direction or something, which would perfectly suit your argument about him worrying he'd lose his home.
Edit:
Found a video covering the attack.
ua-cam.com/video/RNE_aWyY08w/v-deo.html which is at *4:03*
It seems like calculated panic like he is panicking but his moves are still calculated and and will all hit you prolly if you stand still but at the same time hes thinking in his head “ get out get out get out “ or something while attacking super fast with everything he has that’s a really cool detail you found dude
let me tell you, I don't know ANYTHING about music theory, but I always loved listening to soulsborne tracks, they always tell a lot about the bosses' backgrounds and personality.
My interpretation on this one and also the reason why I love Morgott and Mohg is that Morgott never accepted who he really was. He wanted to be different, he wished he wasn't an omen so he could better fit his golden blood, and even now that he is the King of Leyndell, the soundtrack doesn't seem to be filled with "royalness" like Lothric and Lorian's, it's like the song wants to be pure, wants to represent the king of the capital city but there's something preventing that to happen (in this case, the fact that he's an omen)
although, if you listen to Mohg's OST, you can actually understand that he's in true peace. He accepted who he was and saw that as a gift instead of a curse.
Mohg's theme represents the top of a hierarchy, you're really facing the leader of something bigger, the king.
while Morgott's OST tries to hide the curse and never gets the tone it was supposed to have, Mohg's theme accepts that and turn the curse into a blessing, and even the song not being totally "pure", it fits a King.
I don't know if I was able to properly express myself, English is not my main language and I'm really rusty these days haha
keep up the good work, love your videos and interpretations!
I honestly couldn't tell that this was a foreigner's English until you said it was. You're pretty good!
I also thought of the music as it’s always building up and up and it never ends. It keeps going, no down-time except the phase transition which you never hear in-game. He has to keep going to keep the Lands Between together or else he fails.
Wonderful analysis! Your observations regarding the part at 4:45 is extremely accurate. These are the first notes of the second part of the song and the bridge that leads to this starts at a certain event of the game: when the Omen curse (a curse despised by the powers he wants to protect and serve) overcomes Morgott and it taints the battlefield which is basically an open-field throneroom. A place, he very much respects.
He says: "The thrones... stained by my curse. Such shame I cannot bear. Thy (the player's) part in this shall not be forgiven!" - right after he finishes this line, the sopranos join with the high notes. This was pure timing by the composer and the voiceover team. And I remember the gutting feeling I felt during this as not only Anthony Howell did a spectacular job delivering this line, but the music just had to double confirm that Morgott is in an emotionally vulnerable state. I've never felt this bad for killing a boss before.
Accurate because I listened to this after fighting him on stream :)
@@MarcoMeatball oh, right, sorry! Still, your analysis is very much on spot. Understanding music through its elements is the coolest skill one can obtain during classical music studies. :)
''the thrones, stained by my curse... such shame i can not bear.''
The shift halfway captures that sad moment so well. Morgott loved the golden order, the erdteee and leyndell even though he was always treated so poorly based on the curse he was born with. He loved and was committed to the concept of them, it didn't matter what that meant for him. It was truly unconditional. He buries the cursed part of himself so deep that he even suppresses it initially when fighting you, a legitimate threat to everything he's devoted his life to. It's only when you actually wound him, when it's life or death, that he unleashes his curse in one last desperate attempt to hold on to something that was never meant to last. I think the shift in tone: keeping the desperation and the anxiety, but adding this unholiness and desperation as he unleashes his curse is just so fitting
Morgott is so cool as a lore character
he is thee most worthy heir to the throne even after he was shackled and deemed cursed in the catacombs
He does not even deem himself worthy of that power.
"thrones stained by my curse such shame i can not bear"
Ah yeah, I remember the stream! That was a good time, and as always, love to hear your piece Marco!
Love how this theme and moghs share a melody. I feel it is indicative of not only their kinship but the shared plight of the omens as described in the game
If we're going to talk about Soulsborne songs, definitely should consider Pontiff Sulyvahn and Soul of Cinder
You can also see in his fighting style how desperate he is to stop you. The first time in Stormveil Castle he was composed, calm and confident that he could stop you. When you arrived at the Erdtree his innerself was like "Oh shit", and in his last fight he LITERALLY throws everything he has to kill you. The entire fight i felt him saying, "Get out! Get out! Why are you doing this?" its so sad.
2:48 this is my absolute favorite part of this entire ost. When i heard it during my first attempt I got goosebumps and i just knew this would be an epic but uphill battle that would take me hours to fully conquer, which it did. Im curious as to what your thoughts are on this part of the boss theme as well? Love your reactions !
Your video made my day.
❤️
Great song, maybe someday I'll finally make it far enough to hear it in game
marco's elden ring videos give me life. another great video (btw i wonder if u remember me haha). i recently played through xenoblade 3 and man what an amazing experience. it's my favorite game of all time and it has one of my favorite osts ever! i seriously recommend u to listen to it as it just speaks to ur soul on a whole another level and it's just amazing
Of course I do Arkhangel! :)))
Hearing this track kinda reminds of me of some of tracks in GRIME.
I think, of all the characters in the game, Morgott (alongside Maliketh and Malenia) is my favorite character. Just his tale is enough to make you respect him. And the way you hear his tragedy when he says, "The Thrones, stained by my curse...such shame I cannot bear...."
Music wise too The Omen King remains one of my favorite tracks Fromsoft has ever made.
The First Time fighting morgott my Heart was like a car engine while running at 200mph
Damn i feared this boss more than anyone, THATS WHY I LOVE HIM
Same bro. The beautiful fight arena, the godlike OST, morgotts impressive size, i was so intimidated.
Morgott is the sad brother, and mohg is the angry one
You gonna totally love Dark souls 2 Sir Alonne OST. Truly masterpiece of its own
Oh yeah, a triple upload, great grind Marco
Yes! I've been waiting for this!
Amazing video for an amazing character
YES! MORGOTT! I can't wait for you to do Godrey next!
I've been waiting for this
I never thought about his character like that although I knew it to be quite tragic. Great breakdown I'll look at this fight different from now on.
That’s awesome :)
One of the most tragic characters in the game. Curse born and forced to live in the sewers in shame, he still pledged his life to protect the Erdtree and the Golden Order.
He defended the capital from Radahns invasion, despite being family. His shades watch over the lands between to prevent tarnished from seeking the Erdtree.
He has a tremendous amount of faith and loyalty, even if some of it is blind.
So this is the theme that will play when I will have to kill intruders inside my home
I think the whole OST is awesome. It's funny tho how some of the smaller pieces are what I truly remember. Example, being alone in the dark underground with only the sparkle of the ceiling to give you lighting, in the distance you hear the faint sound of a violin playing. Later you find a lone merchant in a safe corner, huddled around the fire playing such a small enchantinf melody. A moment of solace in a tale of crazy. I sat with him for like 10 minutes lol. Oh and I really loved the theme to the giant Deer entity. Remember Radagon is both male and female. Law of Regression!!!
Man I loved that moment too. I'm not sure where this was for you, but for me it was in Siofra. I was pretty underleveled to fight anything properly, and so I kind of just tried to bypass everything, and then hearing the small merchant violin melody drew me forward, and that was where I was like, 'Nah, there's no better spot to stop playing for tonight' lol great memories.
My humbly opinion in fromsoftware themes... Based on my experience with the entire franchise, in Elden ring i found very little amount of themes that hit me and made me remember them after the bossfights, meanwhile titles like bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 made me love theirs themes and they hit me right to the core. By simply words i think they are way more memorable in comparison...
The Golden Order viewed the Omens with disgust since its inception, and because of that they failed to realize Morgott was not the cursed son, but rather the thrice blessed and true champion of the Order. Blessed by Godfrey's warrior's strength, Marika's spiritual strength, and last is the Crucible's beastial strength. The Order can reject Morgott to their dying breath, but in the end his love for the Order and the Erdtree did not go unnoticed and unacknowledged, for the grace of gold that shone in his eyes was evident
his story can be summed in 2 lines:
Born a disgrace, trapped in darkness beneath the earth
Died a king, bathed in Erdtree's golden light
The shunned prince turned King of the Order, poetic.
Speaking of Soulsborne I would recommend Vargs theme from Thymesia the game deserves attention because of what it was able to accomplish given its Indie status ^_^
The "Dum-Da Dum-Da!" That you keep referencing, since I dunno if you remember or not, is called the Dies Irae, the Wrath of God. In media over the last many decades the Dies Irae has traditionally been incorporated into scores to represent death, doom, or divine wrath.
Of course it’s the dies irea!
Id love to see you do more Elden ring! Lets be real all of us were fighting for out lives when we first experienced these soundtracks, itd be great to sit down and go over them with you!
I’ve done most of them tbh but today there is a live where I will
Rank them!
@@MarcoMeatball yea i just realized lol, and i caught a bit of the livestream, gonna watch the whole thing later!
cool
I remember this fight so well.... I WAS VERY ANXIOUS! BECAUSE HOLY HELL HE KICKED MY BUTT! XD
The music fits it beautifully.
Actually, Morgott's theme sounds a lot more like the general air that Dark Souls 3's boss themes exude. There's lots of drama, lots of tragedy, lots of broken pieces that haven't been picked up. The battle is desperate yet he retains a sense of how strong he is and gives it everything he has.
Dark Souls 3's bosses usually feature those dramatic choirs, the forward momentum of the strings and some violent, deep drums. These bosses are either on the cusp of losing everything or have already lost everything and are now trying to relinquish themselves by defending what little they have left. And Morgott's theme is so much more like that than most of the other themes in Elden Ring.
You should really take a deep dive into Dark Souls 3's boss themes. They have so, so much tragedy and drama and sadness but at the same time sound incredibly valiant, pompous and powerful.
I really need to.
@@MarcoMeatball I'm looking forward to it. Once you're done with Genshin Impact, FFXVII and Elden Ring, that is. ;D
Playing Elden Ring:
*Are we the baddies?"
I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I have an idea for future videos I think would be unique. Both the Power Metal bands Sabaton and Powerwolf have made a habit of releasing two version of their albums; The metal version and a full on orchestral version. I know you have shown you like rock and metal stuff, but I think you especially would get a kick out of the orchestral versions of their songs.
So for a bit of context, of course, spoilers for Elden ring. Morgott is an omen, a race that was once held in high esteem for their amazing strength and power, however, when the golden order came, it treated omens as a curse, Morgott, as an omen, was cast into the sewers of Lindell because of that curse and was forced to train himself, and finally, when everyone else had left, morgott returned to defend a tree and a god who had no love for him. I have amazing respect for Morgott, the omen King
Keep in mind this is all from memory, I may have gotten some bits wrong, feel free to add on
I haven’t full played Dark Souls 3 yet, but after marathoning Dark Souls 1 and 2, I can confidently say Elden Ring has some of the best music in FromSofts history. I find myself playing morgotts theme in my car like wtf
4:46 that lone woman singing... that's Marika :O I think she was forced to send her sons in the sewers by the Elden Beast/Greater WIll.
Edit: Also the fact that it rains right after you defeat him :(
The analysis is great, but I keep getting distracted by Buff Pikachu

I really really really recommend you to give a listen to The outer wild OST. I cry for 3 whole day after finish the damn thing
Check Music from "Disciples 2" PC game.... IGM there is rly atmospheric
Ah, can't get wrong with Elden Ring music. DLC when FromSoft?

Elden Ring shows so much creativity and style but ultimately disappoints when it comes to gameplay (especially compared to previous fromsoft games). It felt like a step back.
pls next : World of Warcraft - Arthas My Son
Uhhhhh sorry but did you delete my comment? I apologize if it came off the wrong way but I was not advocating for piracy or anything like that and I hope I didn't offend in another way unintentionally (unless the comment was flagged by youtube automatically). I was simply recommending grabbing the lossless versions from one of the newly added official sources since the prior official source (digital soundtrack) was lacking in audio quality.
That was UA-cam I didn’t see your comment 😩
@@MarcoMeatball Ah I see. Probably got tagged as spam. I tried to sum it up in a reply just now but that got tagged too so never mind lol.
You should listen to "welcome to rapture" from bioshock
Though Morgott and his brother strayed so far from their father's original path in service to their own twisted ambitions, this fight is an act of duty for him. It isn't him fighting you out of hatred, it is him fighting you because he feels that it is his duty, his family's duty to carry the burden of the Elden Ring. As tarnished as the Golden Order has become, Morgott; the last of his dynasty chose to travel to his father's throne to try and do him proud and sacrifice himself in battle to maintain what little remains of Godfrey's legacy.
He has given you two opportunities up until this point to turn back. To stop your foolish ambitions. The third time he won't stay his hand, neither will he yours.
Hey Marco, new subscriber, just wanted to say listening to your insights and discussions on these various osts have been a pleasure and look forward to your future content.
Hi mystic! So glad you’re here!
I have this lore post for you, the post I love to add everywhere out of my love for this character:
Morgott is an EXTREMELY tragic character. The saddest part about Morgott is that he was legitimately blessed. Omen curse is no curse. It's a blessing of the Crucible which was later seen as a curse due to Golden Order. He may as well have been the most holy of all Demigods, but he was punished for it by being left for a time in the sewers and he hated HIMSELF for it. That is until he was released, most likely by the time Giants were still a threat since Godfrey knew him and he was banished after he beat the Giants and other enemies of Erd Tree. He also uses a Giant Crusher. A weapon that fell out of use after War with the Giants. A GREAT way to hide little story details, in Boss's moveset itself.
In his remembrance (japanese version) it's said that he didn't need anyone else's love to love in return. He just loved. He loved others matter what. And there most likely were people that did love him. One of them was Godfrey, but the other may have been his brother Godwyn... who was killed at the Night of the Black Knives. He tried to be a protector, he created Black Cavalry who we see in the trailer and may have been sent by him to hunt down the assassins (who also can be seen protecting the carriage with Malenia's Master's sword that goes to Haligtree), he created Sentry's Torches to protect his other siblings from Godwyn's fate, and yet... they all betrayed him and destroyed everything he loved and even then when he shows up in the throne room and calls his siblings traitors he still seems to have some actual care for them after all of that (calling Godrick by his title, being nostalgic with Malenia and Miquella, respectful for Radahn and mournful for Ranni) and he still felt great shame after staining their thrones meaning that he truly cared for them (outside of Rykard who may have taken more public role in killing Godwyn as part of his deal with Ranni which could have been start of his Blasphemy).
Morgott was a good person that was betrayed by almost everyone around him. By his family that started destroying their life and breaking their world, by the Erdtree which wouldn't accept him due to his "curse" and by Golden Order which indoctrinated him into hating what he was blessed with.
Morgott is probably one of the saddest characters in the game, if not THE saddest. A bitter person who has nothing, but hatred for himself and his family and the only thing he cares about is the thing that made his life miserable in the first place. And the only people that loved him are either dead (Godwyn who given that he befriended Dragons most likely cared little about curse on Morgott) or he never got to meet again after longing to see them again (Godfrey).
And the part with Godfrey is even more sad when you realize that Godfrey we fight before him is most likely created BY Morgott. It's possible that Morgott created that apparition because he wanted the help of his father, he wanted his father to be there and become Elden Lord, evident by him placing his crown on the throne in the trailer.
At the end when we fight him he is legitimately left with nothing, but the crumbling city and his duty which is built on lies of the Greater Will.
Pray for Morgott The Omen King, The Grace-Given. The True King of Leyndell and only worthy successor of Godfrey. A true heir. The only Demigod left that is worthy of being called Golden. Morgott the Golden Omen.
Morgott is probably my new favorite boss From has ever made and with Aldia and Vendrick he is my favorite character From has ever made and that may be partially because of Martin. His character GREATLY makes me think of mix of Tyrion and Stannis and that is the best kind of comparison one could want. Morgott stands above and beyond as an exceptional character in Elden Ring that deserves FAR more praise. The only problem I have with him is that he is too easy if you explore everything before him, but that is another great thing. I don't want his fight to end. I want more of his fight. That is something that is hard to achieve. Make me WANT to fight a boss more. Let's hope he may have an Endgame fight in DLC. As so far we have one in early game, mid game and now only endgame is left. Let's hope for one final showdown with the True King of Leyndell and to me the only worthy Demigod to be Elden Lord.
Holy shit
@@MarcoMeatball I am very passionate about Morgott.
@@AzraelSoulHunter I LOVE it
@@MarcoMeatball I am very glad. Granted there is some speculation in this on my part, but I think it is mostly accurate with what I found in this game.
best BOSS of the entire game
Felled by king morgot! Last of all kings...
My favorite Demi-god.
Morgott is the final obstacle between the Tarnished and events that will change the Lands Between forever. The burning of the Erdtree, the unbinding of the Rune of Death, and the mending of the Elden Ring (or the complete and total annihilation of everything and everyone with the Flame of Frenzy)
Morgott knows what's at stake.
“Tarnished…thou art but a fool. The Erdtree wards off ALL who deign approach…we are…we are all forsakened. None shall claim the title of Elden lord, thy deeds will be met with failure, just as I…”
King Morgott is my best boss fight in Elden Ring. He's fast. He hit hard. He's a fair fight. And his theme is the best in all boss theme. It's like he is the final boss.
Seconds later it turned out he's not the final boss...
Morgott has such a great theme, I was really surprised with the boss and the theme
Thank you Elden RIng

Day seventy-three of recommending Stay Gold from the Arknights OST
I'll put my vote in for Knight Artorias from DS1, one of the most fan favourite Fromsoft characters alongside Gael and Ludwig, Fromsoft fans love their tragic chads I guess. He has the best music of DS1 imo, it really reflects the tragedy and corruption of his character with the sense of duty in him still shining through occasionally, it's heavy. Great stuff, man.
Next week actually ;)
@@MarcoMeatball YOO! Looking very forward to it! Appreciate all you do, man.
Your analysis is so crazy more accurate. Morgott was always enigmatic, after I watched Hawkshaws lore video on Morgott I had to come back to this. You got the feel for him which was correct from the video, and this song specifically tells his story so well I feel like.
Pls do darkeater midir from ds3
What I saw was that Morgott was abused and neglected his whole life and hated for what he was born into he was an Omen, a Blessing of the Crucible of Life but a curse to the Golden Order of the Era of the Erdtree.
It's really sad knowing knowing that he loved the Golden Order but it never loved him in the first place. Morgott deserved better.
Can you plz listen to the soul of cinder and sister fride from ds3
This was so hollywood style for a fromsoft piece that it caught me off guard the first time i fought morgott
Man I've almost missed the last couple videos with how great the recent thumbnails have been
One of the aspects in which DS3 outshines all other FS games is in its boss fights, and their music. They are all tragic and beautiful.
I 100% aggree I just recently finished that game, and the music made me feel so bad for the twin princes and then, during the lord of cinders fight in the second phase, there’s a piano in the background that sounds so sad but I will say dark souls 3 was so easy compared to my first play through of Elden ring only boss I spent more then 10 tries on was nameless king and it was mainly cus of the dragon part so it did take away from the experience but I still loved that game I just feel like Elden ring and it’s story was more impactful to me
Bosses, for sure yeah. Music bloodborne is unreachable, they need more eyes to reach that again. Ok individually Gael and mohgs ost is better than Ludwigs, but omen, my god that soundtrack is hype incarnate. My fav track in the series
