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 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
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 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 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
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@Chrisbun1Exactly it was just so empty. It could’ve just been the spooky ravine with the ancient untouchables and the dungeon, but instead it’s a MASSIVE area with absolutely nothing but rats and like 2 items spread across all of it. Very strange design
@@Marshall-q8j mfw I use the aspects that the game developers put into the game, using my brain unlike 90% of the people who call the dlc too hard, just to be called skilless
Not being able to ride torrent is kinda interesting lore wise, but it's a pain in the ass given how big the area is. At least once you figure out the trick to killing the grape headed monsters it gets a little less annoying.

i don't care what anyone says this fight is peak
It really is!!!
Tough as all hell, though.
The bass drop when he transitions phases is insane
But that's literally what everyone says
@stoppedflyer I've seen ppl calling this boss trash cuz they expected him to be harder or whatever, he's amazing in my opinion
*_T H E D E P T H S O F Y O U R F O O L I S H N E S S_*

"Consider me your most worthy replacement, Midra"
"I will finish what you could never have"
- The Tarnished, Probably
"The depths of your..."
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN?!?!"
My guy, If you keep hearing it, maybe it's because he whoops your ass everytime, no ?
@@Nasfeliait was just a joke, my guy
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
so spongebob
This is literally a Bloodborne OST and boss. Best fight in all of Elden Ring.
Invokes a similar feeling as Ludwig
Man, i have so much Bloodborne feelings!!
Especially with the Frenzy and all! It's so much like Bloodborne, I love it
@@Cold_Zero_The_Wisemore like laurence
@@Cold_Zero_The_Wiseto me it’s more like Micolash but if Micolash could control his mania
the merchants' song leitmotiv that comes on, heavily dissonant, during the second phase... it's so good man
i cant hear it man urgh. whats the timestamp
@@72streeting3:44 I’m pretty sure
I didn't notice it until now. Its that high pitched violin at 3:44 but then it takes a dive and goes off tune. Creepy!
Specifically the buried merchant near the three fingers
@@droidsupremacist4048 i hear the part but it doesnt sound similar to the original i cant hear the similarities damn
3:44 "MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!"
First time I heard this he was doing the swan dive where his head goes supernova it was magnificent
bloodborne ahh theme
Fr, that's why it's peak!
He does "Well, What Is It?" gesture whenever he's firing his cheddar beams, I think he might be too powerful for us.
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
@@venomark7883nope giantdad
The Frenzied Flame just wants a hug.
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.
Honestly, the whole area, music, and even the fight feeling like a dance just gives me bloodborne vibes
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
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.
DEPTHS OF YOUR FOOLISHNESS
Bayle and Midra, the goats of the DLC.
100% agreed
Midra??? More like Peakdra, this guy's fucking awesome!
the first time i fought his second phase the attacks synced perfectly with the ost and i thought this was intentional.
Yeah, that's what I experienced as well. There is no way it wasn't intentional
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.
I noticed this too!!! I think they’re experimenting with how to time fights to the ost!!
The opening cutscene syncs with the music intentionally though.
@@soulstarved4116they do, but it also happens in the base game too.
The Merchant playing in the background is such a nice touch. This is a loveletter for the BB and Frenzy fans
this is their apology for cutting kale's quest
@@ezoni8438almost like this boss fight could have been kayle at the end of his quest.would of been so cool.
Enough… I have endured, more than enough…
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
When he rises and just immediately mini-nukes the Area is so peak and the soundtrack makes it even more badass. Elegantly Chaotic!
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
Seriously, its inclusion in this music is so great, especially given the emotions of the fight and Midra's lore
was an instant favorite for me
Homestuck! Homestuck! Right here! Right here!
The second phase just kicks differently on my subwoofers holy shit
The music Melina hears when she fights the tarnished after choosing the frenzied flame ending.
This boss takes the "Mid" out of "Midra"
Cause he's gonna f** you "ra"w😂😂
Its just ra now.
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.
Try a buckler. He’s very parriable, and it’s the coolest shit ever to do so.
@@getawayfromme44 Alternatively the deflecting hardtear.
Your brain is itching? Must be the frenzy
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.
The dark forest area with it’s enemies and this boss music, it gives me Bloodborn vibes.
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.
getting some real strong bloodborne vibes from this one.
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.
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.
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.

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.
ITS SO PEAK!!!!!!!!
Best upload of this track thus far; doesn't have the skip near the end of the song.
I kept losing this fight because I was distracted by the tune being basically a spookier full orchesta version of the merchant's song.
And then suddenly, Bloodborne
This fight was peak as hell the music and the area before fill you with dread and this just tops it to another level
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. ☠️
More hp wouldn't be the worst thing but I think just a 2 phase fight works great for him lol
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

This guy, bayle, messmer and rellana might be some of my favorite fromsoft bosses of all time
The theme playing at 3:44 is the same you here beneath the capital, give me chills every time
It’s so nice that fromsoftware made us our very own boss music.
so this is the closest I'll ever get to playing bloodborne
Easily my favorite ER fight, more of that for the next game pls.
gives me dark waltz type of vibe. Like a waltz from hell. i love it
Do not dabble in what is beyond your comprehension.
Peak of Gaming Music, Elden Ring peak of gaming ❤🔥
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
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.

He was named wrong. Instead of Midra he should have be called Peakdra.
Best fight since Ludwig
I started a frenzy build to be just like this man
There can only be one.
The soundtrack on this boss hit so hard when I first heard it that I got distracted and died, it's fucking amazing
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD
May chaos take the world.
Very glad we got two whole Bloodborne bosses in the dlc
This feels like a dark souls 3 boss ost
🎉 enjoying the dlc love this fight
Reminds me of the creepy side zeldas music like majoras mask
Gives me bloodborne vibes
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

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
@@Chrisbun1Exactly it was just so empty. It could’ve just been the spooky ravine with the ancient untouchables and the dungeon, but instead it’s a MASSIVE area with absolutely nothing but rats and like 2 items spread across all of it. Very strange design

Midra, hah, more like S TIERDRA
*_~"🎶Literally Me:🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥"~_*

its not the best but its so good
Wrong, its very good if not one of the best in the DLC.
it's miles ahead the best OST in Elden Ring
Loud incorrect buzzer
