Looking forward to it
Could you do a video on the music from Nier Automata? Maybe Bipolar Nightmare?
Oh, a DS3 run. Nice, remember to give the Firekeeper her eyes to hear the alternate Firelink song. I'll let you figure out where they are yourself if you don't remember.
hey marco! Reaction at new honkai online concert when?
Dragonslayer Armour:
- Litteral piece of armour
- Shows up with no buildup
- Has one of the best tracks in the game
- Refuses to elaborate
- Dies
You forgot
-enters phase two while faking a stagger just to smash his 4,5 meters long axe in your face
also forgot
- Appears again in a fuck-off place in the Dreg Heap

@@Eurasian_ you forgot the part where it gives ptsd just from seeing it again
Forgot to mention the shield bash
Id say you forgot something to do with it attacking you with stupidly vicious attacks
This has always been my favourite track in Dark Souls 3. There's just something so ironic about what is arguably the only heroic sounding track in the game being given to a suit of armor, the only boss that is not a living being. As if to say that the world has slipped so far that the only thing in which they can still find glory is the memories of the past.
I like the way you think.
The Soul of Cinder is also a suit of armour, possessed by every Lord of Cinder
One of the underrated boss themes in the game
^^^^
My personnal all time favourite from the souls series
Ah Yeah, the bossfight against The Wall. The music really goes well with him bashing you through the arena with his shield.
Sounds like when champion gundyr roundhouse kicks me every five seconds.
The Wall? You already doing operation wallclimber, Raven?
@@callistobathory9522 Champion Gundyr and his damn kicking actually makes me feel tired and a bit sick fighting him. It somehow carries through the game, if that makes sense. It's a fight that when it's over I really think my Unkindled One would be 100% exhausted and would go back to Firelink to pass out for a while. The other fights don't seem to convey the same sense of exhaustion to me, except for Dragonslayer Armour as a close second.
I am a simple man with simple wants.
I want to witness Marco's unyielding love for analysing music.
I want more From Soft content.
So when I get both, I click, and I enjoy.
Simple.
One of the best fights in Dark Souls 3, it just feels so fluid and its attacks feel satisfying to dodge.
Crazy to think that it's just a possessed suit of armor, not a real person.
In a sense, i think having a suit of armor that like fighting so much that it just goes like "f*ck it, i'm done taking dust" and just go crush your face with it's shield, it's pretty cool tbh
The whole theme of dissonance and sudden changes of the melody kinda makes sense because Dragonslayer Armor boss is just a hollow armor being possessed by Pilgrim Butterflies.
It's an internal conflict between the former glory of hunting dragons and the possession by the butterflies.
i saw something about dragonslayer armour that its also a soul of a dragon controlling it apparently
That is an amazing way to put it
What I love about this soundtrack is just how well it fits a 'Dragonslayer'. When hear the term 'Dragonslayer' you naturally expect the person to be incredibly powerful and terrifying. This soundtrack where you have all these voices and a fanfare like sound, does that perfectly. This soundtrack always sends chills down my spine.
I just love that first phase music it truly made it sound like a parasite possessed knight that still fights with all the memory and glory of when its owner fought dragons.
There's a really cool unused alternative version of this theme out there on UA-cam, the first phase is the same but the second is a lot more chaotic and aggressive.
I wish they used that one for the Ringed City rematch instead of leaving it silent.
A lot of games have good music, but in my opinion, Souls-borne games have always captured the true reality of how a situation is and should be. depending on how a character is, Yuka Kitamura always finds a way to deliver us the best of treats
Exactly this, I was watching gameplay footage of the new FF7 remake coming out soon and the boss has no presence AT ALL. It's a huge giant snake but I feel no fear emanating from it. No sense of danger at all
i love the second phase violin. makes it sound kind of disturbing, and thinking of disturbing, its the perfect description for the pilgrim butterflies, who join in at that part.
Fond memories of this boss. The music, the pilgrim butterflies in the red sky, and the armor. Its a sight to see
Such a powerful song for a literal floating set of armor.
Dragonslayer armor phase 1 is my favourite boss theme from ds3, unused phase 2 sounded a bit better than the one in the actual game though ( imo, at least )
I couldn't agree more
I agree. Phase 2 is too chaotic, and the unused one fits better chaining in from the first phase than the one in the game does.
In Shintoism, there is a belief that even objects have a soul. With that perspective, the Dragonslayer Armour is quite tragic. This literal suit of armor has been in many glorious battles and has earned its rest, but the pilgrim butterflies are forcing it to keep fighting. Just like how the undead curse denies people the release of death until they fulfill some duty for the one who cursed them in the first place.
Dragon Slayer Armour is one of those DS3 tracks that is not on my playlist, but every time it comes up I still enjoy it. Phase two gives me a headache though
Bro FINALLY you reviewed my favourite OST the game. The first phase definetely is to represent the honor and the great legacy of the dragonslayer's, those who felled the biggest enemy of the gods and the fact that on my first run he was one of the bosses i got stuck on the longest really amplifies the honor and discipline i feel when fighting against him while the OST plays.
The armor is being controlled by the butterfly. I really believe this ost is reflecting the armor going through the process of freeing itself from the control of the butterfly, because we are weakening the butterfly control through the fight. Like in the end things doesn't make sense, because you were a dragon slayer, not an ordinary warrior that faces normal people. The armor got it own consciousness and its regaining it back. I absolutely loved the analysis. I defeated this dude 2 week ago in a SL1 that im doing it and i really felt how powerful this ost is (This music and the sound of the armor slamming his shield to the ground, real hard, makes this battle even more intense). I really recommend all souls fans to play those games in lvl1, the extreme fragility that you have in this kind of run makes you interact so deeply with the bosses that you feel the OST's even more stronger in comparison with the normal gameplay. Absolutely loved your channel.
I’ve always thought of this track as a kind of reward for the player. After trudging through some of the most depressing and grueling areas in the game and gathering 3 of the cinders of lords, you finally enter the beautiful, grandiose lothric castle. You reach what you think is the summit, then you’re rewarded with the masterpiece that is the first phase of this track. It’s so majestic and awe-inspiring, sort of reminding the player that there is something to fight for, there is beauty remaining in the world.
Then phase two kicks in, and you realize that the Armour isn’t the regal and proud warrior you thought it was. It’s hollow, controlled by the pilgrim butterflies. Just like everything else in lothric, it’s tainted, corrupted, a shadow of what it once was.
It was a awesome moment in the middle of a dying world, but you must keep moving.
PS: If you enjoyed this track, you would adore Crimson Bat.
giga underrated, this is deadass one of my top 5 favourite themes from ds3
On a more analytical note. Considering the pilgrim butterflies (the rotten tendril things floating around the arena) are the things controlling it. I eventually got this idea that the song is reflecting the pilgrims themselves. They were once those hunchbacked people walking endlessly through the wastes of the world, searching for Lothric castle, to see the prophetical fate of the world through to the end. All from different kingdoms and lands, different views and ideas. All came to Lothric, and passed on. We see that some if not all have become those butterflies controlling the armor, and perhaps the songs multitude of concepts of “honor, confidence” opposed by “confusion, losing touch.” Are a reflection of the many feelings and emotions of those pilgrims who gave their every bit of life to see the world and it’s fate through to the end. They are losing control of themselves as they become something else, while also losing to the player character as we defeat their last bastion against us from doing whatever they don’t want us to do. But also filled with that confidence of having given so much, what’s the matter with given just that bit more? To see your journey through to the end. And to me that’s always been the message of not just Dark Souls but every game made by From and Miyazaki. It’s about the struggle of losing yourself, losing everything and anything and no longer be certain of your direction, but taking a direction anyway and seeing it through. Because that’s what gives us meaning.
I completely disagree. Ðis song's just _screams_ Dragonslayer to me. It's literally ðe knight who served boþ Ornstein and Gwyn's firstborn, and ðe one mentioned in ðe "Sacred Oath" spell.
@@danielantony1882 It’s controlled by the pilgrims tho…
@@lillonerboi504 Not in ðe first phase. A fake can't reproduce a dragnoslayer's will.
@@danielantony1882 You’re entitled to your opinion.
@@lillonerboi504 What makes yours any different from entitled?
I think the themes of duty, remorse and hopelessness and all that are kinda foundational in the atmosphere of the Dark Souls series, as a whole. You didn't choose the path you're on, it was chosen for you, and you aren't doing any of this because you desire it, but because you have to do it. If not you, then who? If you don't do it, if you fail, it could mean the end of all life, or unimaginable suffering for everyone else and for yourself. Dark Souls is about doing what must be done, because nobody else can.
Frenetic fight. You die most of the time because he takes the tempo out of you and crushes you as the insect you are. You win when you keep the tempo of the fight. It's very dynamic and you need the to get the song to understand how to get the respite to heal and attack. Honestly, the character is of no relevance story wise, but is a wall that you have to surpass. Is amazing.
I get goosebumps whenever I listen to this theme, at least the first phase, and its one of those tracks I refuse to listen to constantly as to not get tired of it. Its up there on my top ten along with the Ancient Dragon from Dark Souls 2
Absolutely one of my favorites from the DS3 track that not enough people talk about, bless
That distorted part sounds about as unsettling as the angle tree butterfly things that join the fight in the latter half and I feel that maybe the music is portraying them too because considering it's the end times and those things have been looming ominously until this fight, it does feel kind of twisted and wrong
He's one of my favorite boss fights and I love his music so much. The chorus hitting after the first 30 or so seconds is one of my favorite parts, and yeah, I sway in time with it every time I listen to it. Phase 1 is my favorite, but Phase 2 shows how the fight changes with the addition of attacks from the pilgrim butterflies around throwing stuff at you. It really gets a bit frenetic and it can be pretty chaotic to tell what's going on.
I love how players think they're going to fight one of those big "butterflies", but they're fighting the armor that one of those is controlling. I think that's why such a big guy is so easy to stagger: it's literally a hollow armor set. His attacks have weight to them (a lot of weight), but breaking his shielding wasn't too difficult to do and he'd stagger to his knees pretty easily. He's another boss that will absolutely wreck players who roll around too much. I see him as sort of practice for the Nameless King, a bit.
I love finding the Iron version wandering at the fringes of the watery area of the Ringed City. He was easier for me, but it was still a tough fight; especially since I was hoping not to agro that stupid Judicator wandering around the place (why the hell do those respawn?!).
This is is great timing from you, the composer for this song has left the company around the time you posted the video. She was the lead composer for this game, sekiro, and had songs in bloodborne AND elden ring. She rocks
Finally I’ve been asking for this for over a year lmao
hopefully you're able to listen to the theme of halflight, spear of the church soon! it's ABYSMALLY underrated
In fact, it’s rather sad that due to the fact that the boss is weak and its first stage ends very quickly, it’s impossible to fully admire this composition (if you’re not a noob))) In my opinion, the authors missed the boss and the soundtrack for it a bit, the boss is “secondary” and very simple, and the theme music is godlike and would be perfect for any "last boss".... Anyway, Yuka is a genius!
I'm gonna go hollow before Fume Knight, Ivory King and other Ds2 OSTs are covered here aren't i?
Right, so, remember when Darktide came out, and we all came to you saying to check out that OST? Man, ya gotta check out Remnant II's OST now. If you want a good starting point, Sha'Hala, Guardian of N'Erud (Spectral). You won't regret it.
you got it.
My personal favorite track on top of being a favorite boss of mine. Since playing the DLC, Midir has beaten this fight out in being my favorite but its still awesome and supremely underrated. I am a staunch defender and active supporter of this Boss through and through on top of the amazing track that plays along with it.
I agree from a technical fun fight, this, nameless and gael are top tier. all good themes too
@@itachileesan absolutely! Gael and Nameless are probably better fights in a sense, however the fact that this fight is consistently forgotten makes me like it in an underdog type way as it is saying too solid for that kind of treatment
"theres kind of a sadness to it" brother just described dark souls
I think I am the only person who like second phase theme more than the first
I love the the feeling of discomfort it gives because it fits really well with the fight, you are fighting an empty armor while being shot down by giant flying abominations with lasers and shit, the fight becomes uncomfortable just like the music and I find it really beautiful to listen to everytime, I don't hate the first phase but like I said I am the only one who likes the second phase more
2nd phase hits that bloodborne vibe I can't not love.
Th story with this armor is related to the Nameless King. He was one of the Dragonslayers and their suits of armor are so powerful that they retain the fighting spirit of their wielder. The NK abandoned the armor after he turned to the dragons side and that loss is what drove the armors corruption by the butterflies in the fight. I love this boss
By the way i d'ont now how you so good at describing wats happening in the music sometime you describe so much de boss with accuracy like this is crazy (sorry for m'y english im french)
Honestly no boss in Elden Ring has awed me as much as Dragonslayer Armour. The soundtrack literally invoked fear into me when i first played
The Tree Sentinels give me the feeling of a mounted Dragonslayer Armour now that you say that. Shield bashes, extremely aggressive etc. I wonder how fun a dismounted Tree Sentinel fight would be.
It’s almost the same as how Crucible Knights fill the same role as Black Knights. But unlike how I can see how strong the Dragonslayer Armour is, there’s no real feeling to how strong Tree Sentinels are lorewise, perhaps because they’re so common?
Turn that around for Black Knights and Crucible Knights though. BK’s are strong sure, but their armour is somewhat above average, while their weapons are fantastic, but they don’t really scream “we are so powerful we hunted demons for generations and won”. Yet CK’s have some of the better armour in the game, their weapons are likewise build-defining. But then you put their access to Erdtree Incantations that allow them to be extremely versatile? Yeah I can believe they killed dragons alongside Godfrey.
Back on topic though. Radagon filled me with the same energy as Dragonslayer Armour. I really wish that fight was longer
@@tyrusdalet yeah I think that for me atleast felt like a place holder boss if they couldn’t find where to put something cool. Outside of Malikeths boss room they placed a tree sentinel for like no reason given. A bit odd but hey.
Now to talk about the BK’s armor and weaponry. The armor itself can bring you to late game. But the weapons can easily beat the whole game. CK have the stance, the power behind the attacks like BK’s did. Especially the BK with the great sword.
Besides that both games have their own flaws and problems but we can all agree that the lore was pretty good.
I still haven’t beat Maliketh 🙃
I sincerely hope that you breakdown Owl: Father in a video like this sometime.
I know you reacted to it in your FromSoft stream recently but I’d love a more detailed breakdown like this for my favorite track in soulsborne!
This boss took:
" the best defense is offense "
way too seriously 😂
When you explained the music i can agree no more its about pure power and malice that inside the armour that have been decay for how long and its fighting you with its full might power left
Can't wait for you to review Halflight, spear of the church. Dark souls 3
Wow nice choose of song! , I highly recommend some rdr2 soundtrack too like "the disaster" or "Prison break theme" is a different type of music, but sounds amazing too!
Of all the From Software bosses I've killed, The Dragonslayer was the only one to give me anything close to a ration of shit. Must have been because of my adoration of my Astora Great Sword +10. I love that sword. It's seen me through to NG+12.
With so many comments here already I don't know if this will reach you, but Homeworld has an amazing OST, I was honestly surprised to see this channel hasn't covered Homeworld yet, but I HIGHLY recommend all the HW OST's, especially Deserts of Kharak, I think you'd enjoy it.
Any chance you'd be able to do some of the Demon's Souls Remastered tracks?
Maiden Astraea, Flamelurker and The Penetrator in particular I'd absolutely love to see, Penetrator being my favorite.
One of the more underrated themes in soulsborne in my eyes.
Easily
To me this is one of your best analyses yet. Would you consider Blood Starved Beast from Bloodborne? The 5/4 signature and constant "forward motion" intrigues me greatly. I'd love to see your insight into the composition.
I like to think the first movement represents the glory of the war against the dragons, and the second phase is more of the horror of it all.
I don't þink so. Ðe second part is just him getting corrupted by ðe Pilgrim. First phase is his prime representation.
Could you please make a video about Ocerios, the Consumed King theme?
I'd love to see your take on Secret Betrayal from DS3 some day, maybe together with the regular Firelink Shrine music.
Phase 1 music is absolutely glorious. Phase 2 feels a bit disjointed with phase 1.
Wait. That bit at the start you also mention. Isn't it like that "screech" at the start of Sealed Vessel OST? Similar vibes of a shell posessed by something.
So a lot of context is missing. While your guess is pretty good, its a bit off the mark. The Armour is empty; it's a facade, it's only a vessel for the will of the actual boss(es) the pilgrim butterflies. The butterflies are showing this as a "this is majestic and powerful, as it should be, from the kingdom". But as the fight progresses the vaneer of this lie is being peeled away; the kingdom is rotten from within, it's being manipulated a lot like these horror butterflies are manipulating this armour. then the butterflies also begin attacking the player from outside the arena. when the player finally wins the butterflies also fall, too much of themselves invested into the puppet. a lot of the staccato percussion and spinning strings is meant to convey the movements of the flying threats. the vocals are more the armours immediate threat.
Façade or not, ðe first phase is ðe depiction of ðe Iron Dragonslayer's will, while second phase is him finally getting corrupted.
You should check the unreleased track of Haleck the Giant
This is one of the few tracks where I vastly prefer the first part to the second.
Idk why but this song in my mind would fits so much in Berserk.
Guts vs Grunbeld for example
10:24 Potion Seller!!! I come seeking only your finest potions!!
Such an amazing theme for a very , very underrated boss. Fucker exudes Chad energy. Not the hardest boss , not a push-over , very simple mechanics and fight overall.
Also , it's a fucking Hollow armor , being puppeted by Pilgrim Butterflies , fighting as it once used to when worn by its Master. That is just cool and sad.
This is actually my favorite track from DS3. Ti me it very slightly edges out Soul of Cynder and Slave Knight Gael
Hey, love your reactions! Your points are mosty accurate all the time. So, I have to ask, there's a mobile game out there called Blue Archive, and the bgm from there rocks, specially the last raid boss released named Gregorius. Would be a blast seeing you react to that theme!
I don't know the exact lore behind the fight as I never thought the fight to be THAT interesting, the only S-tier part is the music, and it always made me feel like I was fighting a Paladin. For the first part of the music. I just imagine striking down this noble being, turning my back on it, hear some weird noises and see the paladin rise up, members contorting, foaming at the mouth, and just launch at me like a rabid beast.
The fight would have been great with a fake out :
You "kill" the armor, see it collapse apart, you prepare to leave, the pilgrim butterflies let one loud cry out, fall, and the armor just gathers itself for one more bout without the shield and a more frantic moveset. For those who know, imagine that at 6:33 , the Dragonslayer Armor start using the Wild Strikes move in synch with the music.
I misunderstood the title and thumbnail and thought this was a video about berserk music
Still waiting for HOARAH LOUX warrior OST!!!!!!!
I love the fact that this theme is ornstein theme
you need to listen to Oceiros the Consumed King from Dark Souls 3
To me, it sounds like lost glory. Not lost to disgrace, but to the ravages of time. The Dragonslayer Armour is a relic of an age long past, and barely relevant in the crumbling world of Dark Souls 3 - all its grand accomplishments and legends are the least of anyone's interest in a dying world. Just like the Age of Fire, it is dwindling and desperately grasping at relevance and the glorious days of old.
Considering ðis is ðe faiþful Dragonslayer ðat served Ornstein and Gwyn's Firstborn, and is mentioned in ðe "Sacred Oath", it's safe to assume he's a big deal.
The turtle king!!!! Love the music, gods the fight can be annoying
I always thought this song was from the Ashen One's perspective. Dark Souls can be categorized as dark fantasy a.k.a "horror fantasy." I bring this up because the Dragonslayer Armour, as powerful as it is, is fighting the player with the aid of these dark, decrepit angels who attack from all sides. It's a very tough boss battle with horrific and intimidating scenery. That's why I believe the piece is based on the Ashen One's viewpoint.
It's boþ, actually. It's a þird person perspective. Ðe first seconds sound terrifying because you're supposed to look at ðe pilgrim and slowly pan back and realize Iron Dragonslayer's presence. Ðat's exactly how ðe song is set up. And ðen you hear his glory, strong will, and ðe struggle, þrough ðe first phase, until he gets corrupted in ðe second one.
Sadly I always cut the game music with this boss and put Neon Knight from Black Sabbath instead because it’s too epic that way
6:20 Does this part somewhat reminds anyone else of Ebretias?
i haven't even reached that boss. i got lost after fighting the dude that you target his butt to beat (i think he's the second boss or something, the one after Gundyr).
0:38 i thought i was on 2x speed u were so fast😂
You sbould do the Nameless Song from Dark Souls 1. Just in case there werent enough sad Fromsoft songs 👍
Hey Marco ! How are you 😃I just discovered your channel and I love it !!! I'm so curious about what you would think of Code Vein "Main Theme" & Re Zero OST "Elegy for Rem" 😯
I'll miss Yuka Kitamura's compositions :(
Me too. She was majorly what made DS3 what it was. They better not make another without her.
Yeah, for sure, man. Since she's a free agent now so to speak. She will more than likely do music for fromsoft again, but she's looking at other options. 😢.
That boss made me question my skill at Souls games
TANK YOU bro such some good comment like always
I would absolutely love if you listened to the Vermintide 2 soundtrack its so unique but up your alley
When you going to do Colgera from tears of the kingdom!
When Nintendo eases up in their copyright issues
Ehi Marco, magari te l'ho già chiesto e non ricordo, ma sarei felice di sentire le tue opinioni sulle OST del videogioco mobile Fate/Grand Order basato sul franchise di FATE. So che sembra strano, ma anche se è un gioco mobile ha delle colonne sonore incredibili.
Buttaci un occhio!
va11hall-a?
Damn it looks like you lost weight in your newer videos
lol thank you? My weight is irrelevant to my content. But I’ve actually gained 🤣
I don't really like the Dark Souls 3 soundtrack that much, especially when compared to Bloodborne or Elden Ring, but this is one of the more underrated boss themes in the series. It's very good, up there with Midir and others from the game.
