@@sicklelkcis They have, lol. At least, Garden of Eyes have a restored weapon pack that adds this and other things like Rellana's weapon buff after taking stance..
What I really appreciate about ongbal's no hit videos is just how unique they are. Utilising the dlc weapons and spells in such a cool way, switching weapons, using a weapon art, or a spell to move into the air and dodge an attack, etc. It's genuinely so cool and impressive imo. Keep up the great work, ongbal!
lmfao yea underrated comment, when he dodged and did dmg in the transition of the second phase with the messmer orb incant i was like WOW YOU CAN DO THAT? lmfao - ofc you can this is a fromsoft souls game
My favorite thing about this boss is that none of his hitboxes persist like base game bosses. As soon as theres an AOE explosion you can run back into it and take no damage. Same with the frenzied flame trails his sword leaves, dodge the sword and you dodge the flame. This makes the fight feel alot more polished than other fights.
I kind of wonder, if between the polished hitboxes and the rare use of a cutscene, if this was a boss and area they originally intended to be in the base game that was scrapped along the way. They had all the assets ready to go to plug into this DLC area
I didn't realize he didn't really have lingering hitboxes, as the basegame made me afraid to check. But now that I know that for him and other bosses, it makes the fights more engaging, more of an immediate back and forth, which in turn makes the fights end sooner and feel more satisfying.
@@TimBagels It's possible, but From has a history of hiding stuff like this all the time, so this wouldn't be the first. Heck, Malenia and Mohg are both awesome bosses, and they're some of the most hidden fights in the game.
well it makes sense, it was a tune taught to the merchants by st. trina and since the shadow realm is essentially miquella's kingdom its no wonder its taken so much root inside midra that even when he's consumed by the frenzy we can still hear it
Oh damn, that's awsome. I went to the clean rip vid and sped it up by 70% and it was almost the exact few starting notes at a lower register. Almost want to say it was sped up 66.6% as a joke but idk and am too lazy to process it in audible lol.
@@metalurgentwere we a success? It seems to be the same head but also we burned the entirety of existence as we know it so perhaps that is the part you're talking ab? Still confused on the dlc a tiny bit so this isn't rhetorical or anything.
@@Tortuga2223afrom what I understand, Midra, pre-suicide (aka the old man when we enter the arena initially) is a failed Lord. But the second phase of the fight is a true Lord, although maybe not that powerful compared to what we become, because we still have the body of the insanely op endgame Tarnished. Lorewise, if we died to Midra, the world would have been gone in flame. It's one of the highest stakes battles in the game.
@@Tortuga2223a exactly that. We are successful in the end because we burn everything. The Frenzy Flame is basically a nuke of the Greater Will to reduce all to zero again Midra couldn't do it and was restrained by the hornsent, he then endured this confinement for Nanaya, until we knocked on his door disturbing him
@@aduckonaplane3816 I don't think the world would have gone in flame if canonically Midra won. Remember, in the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending, it's the Erdtree itself that is spewing the yellow, frenzied flame into the world and burning everything. Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame or not, is still confined within the Shadow World. Just my two cents.
I love how the frenzied flame gives them a chance to do bloodborne stuff. This music, the implied madness of the boss, the fact that the madness itself produces a giant eye, the mind eye, it's sooo bloodborne, I freaking LOVE it
Using swords to slice him to ribbons when he's unarmed and then swapping to martial arts when he's using a weapon is just a neat juxtaposition, as is using the Bear helm given that the Abyssal Forest is inhabited almost only by animals. White Light Charge as a gap closer and Messemer's Flame to hang in the air are both really neat compliments to the flow of attacks that, as always, make your presentation stand out beyond just its flawless execution!
@@everythingsalright1121 My favorite of his are the themed fights against thematically important bosses. He always opts to go for sets and weapons that would naturally oppose that boss, or portray some character important to said boss
Hey Ongbal! Huge fan and congrats on 300k subs! I’m glad youre immersed in the game just I am with mine! I am loving this dlc to the max and aspire to tackle bosses and regular enemies in the style you display being not only hitless but also stylish af! Your videos amaze me and teach me how to tackle a boss whenever I am stuck. Thank you for sharing your great prowess of these games so that we, the audience, can watch you in awe and to learn how to fight any boss. Once again, I thank you for being a part of my Souls gaming journey and since you taught me a lot: Allow me to call you my Sensei🙏🏽
He feels so much like a DS3 boss. His 5 piece combo in phase 2 is very satisfying to deal with though, especially since you can sneak a hit even with a colossal before the last hit comes out.
@@562.anthony2Messmer and Midra both took the same amount of damage from me so it's really not a matter of Midra having less health and more Messmer was probably fought early.
Messmer, Bayle and now Midra, you've low diffed my top 3 favorite bosses in the dlc and I couldn't be any happier seeing you style on them. Congrats on the 300k milestone.
BUT THE MUSIC THOUGH. Beautifully composed. That 2:56 switch up in the second phase makes this boss one of most memorable experiences I've ever had. It's almost a waltzing tempo... makes you feel like you're dancing with the devil... and one step out of line, you die. Incredible.
I just love how he shows the entire fight while slowly and methodically beating the boss with the minimal damage required. You get to hear the entire soundtrack, the enemies entire moveset, and the absolutely mesmerizing choreography that fromsoft has designed if you play out the entire fight perfectly. It's such a marvel to behold! Love you Ongbal!
As a card-carrying Messmer's Orb enjoyer, seeing you not only use it to avoid an attack so stylishly, but follow that up by landing right at Midra's back to blow him up was simply sublime.
The only boss i can get a no hit run for, his fight just instantly clicked with me from thw first time i played it. An incredible boss and top3 for me.
kinda of wished that, when players do the frenzied flame ending, the character could equip a helmet pr something that turns the character's head into the frenzied flame and boost the madness dmg. Just to have that Old Frenzied lord vs New Frenzied Lord. 😂😊
@@hensinks All the soulsbourn & Soulslike Game only Ongbal produces Creative battle in Boss fights. So many out there can do no Damage Hit less Run but lacks of Arsenal on using them on fights to create wonderful Choreography.
I love how he switches up weapons to close distance and using the incantation to stay up in the air to dodge the last delayed swing of the combo Awesome run !
I appreciate that there's still at least one boss that telegraphs its attacks in a fairly slow and readable manner. but it probably shouldn't have been the avatar of chaos, of all bosses...
@@Jrmg32 We've had enough of tweaked out bosses strung out on boiled crab flash-banging us every 4 seconds with AOE attacks and particle effects. This is better than that.
I like the juxtaposition of how calmly Midra fights once the frenzied flame takes him over. It's almost like he's relieved from the centuries of torture and dancing with joy. The way he spreads his arms while walking forward and shooting frenzied projectiles, the way he effortlessly spins midair, the way he doesn't even express any reaction to turning his intrument of torture into a weapon. The frenzied flame isn't anger or hatred, it's the apathy for all existence, it's the physical manifestation of sorrow so profound it leads people to want to burn it all down. The moment Midra releases the frenzied flame in him he also rids himself of the shackles of his unending pain, his values, his love for Nanaya, his promise to her, his kindness that lead to him warning the tarnished off at every opportunity, all of it. He throws it all away and then dances with glee, because he just couldn't care anymore.
I love so much the sound effect of the frenesy, it gives me chills 1:48 It really makes you shit your pants knowing that you stand before an outer god manifestation
@@unbearable505 Yeah, I really don't get why everyone is complaining about difficulty. Like, these bosses are all really fun. So far the only thing I've found unfair was Gaius' charge, because that almost always hits me for some reason. I'm only at Shadow Keep's bosses in terms of progression, but I'm enjoying every second of it
@@diamondj4484 It always hits you because for whatever reason the boar fangs do not count as part of the hitbox on the charge, so when you try to roll the fangs it will always be too early and you'll get hit. Also, the last Boss is completely overtuned 🤣
His moveset around DS3 level, most probably because From wanted to compensate for his Madness inducing attacks but went a bit overboard with the simple attacks. To fight someone on Messmer's level who also keeps shitting out Madness would suck, after all. He is also easy as hell to parry.
Not sure if this is my favorite new boss, but it’s definitely the smoothest battle. Hectic, but not so overwhelming and fast you don’t know what’s happening.
Midra's design is so cool. The way the golden barbs lock his head onto his body so that the flame can't erupt. So cruel, so unusual, so iconic. But tbh when we saw him in the trailer I had a faint hope that this was actually how we would find Miquella. Divested of grace and flesh, tearing himself apart by attempting to leave his lineage and heritage behind.
This guy is perfect everything about him is awesome; music, design, lore. The fight plays like a dark souls 3 boss and not overwhelmingly difficult. Glad to see other weapons used to beat him though it's really fun.
shows us behind the scenes the recording errors it must have been difficult, people support the spectacular work, congratulations on how hard it must have been
Him holding the sword and it piercing it's flesh evokes the same feeling as Griffith piercing his neck on some wood just before eclipse. Both Midra and Griffith are in that moment completely powerless and in torment just before attaining supreme power
I think there's a difference between Midra pulling a sword out of his head and the twink from Baby's First Dark Fantasy manga but ok. Always gotta be some mf who's like "OMG IT'S LIKE BERK!!!"
@@BrainlessV2my brother in christ why are you acting like Miyazaki is not a massive simp for Berserk.

This little circlejerk of people calling out every little thing as a Berserk reference has lead to contrarians like you that can't accept even the most obvious reference. I can't decide which side is more annoying.
Exactly! I was amazed how good it felt to fight him, really like a dance. I didn't want it to end lol, I found some +12 weapons and switched to them, always letting myself get killed when he's one hit away. He's really a 100% fair and wonderful souls boss. I managed to no-hit him during my first playing session, which is rare for endgame ER bosses.
my man using fist especially when riposte so the boss didn't die quickly, amazing performance!

The thing about this boss is that I was always doing just fine, dodging great and all and get him to like 1/3 of health bar without issue. Then I get hit ONE TIME, that leads to fumbled dodge, getting blendered, so I have to retreat to heal, which is instantly healpunished (i fucking hate that input read so much), which leads to getting blendered again and I am on back foot for rest of the fight :D But overall one of the most fair and interesting bosses, even tho he can be somewhat cheesed by poise breaks (lions claw or - in my case - wild strikes on blacksteel greathammer) absolutely melt him. But it certainly doesnt look so fucking cinematic like Ongbals videos :D
Imagine spending years upon years, centuries upon centuries, enduring the most wretched, agonizing pain all in hopes that the apocalyptic power that writhes beneath your skin may not escape. Imagine that pain, eating away at your mind like waves eat away at rocks until finally, you decide "Enough, I've endured enough; let the world burn to ash so that I may escape this pain"
And when you finally unshackle the monster within, literally tearing yourself apart so that this herald of destruction may walk free, some guy wearing underpants and a bear hat just walks in and kicks you to death.

Beautifully put :D
its either a moment of relief or a bruh wtf moment
Keep going, this is great..
we are doing him a favor by putting him out of his eternal torment

You are a true legend, beautifully done as always.
This is such an old school Fromsoftware boss in the best way possible
Exactly! I was amazed how good it felt to fight him, really like a dance. I didn't want it to end lol, I found some +12 weapons and switched to them, always letting myself get killed when he's one hit away. He's really a 100% fair and wonderful souls boss. I managed to no-hit him during my first playing session, which is rare for endgame ER bosses.
Really was expecting more from this fight. Dude was really easy for the lord of frenzy flame
i love the creative dodges he does w AoW's and spells
Mist Noble finally decided to unleash his true power 😱
Using the meteor sword to close distance is actually genius idk why i never thought to do that
He is hotter and more deadly than the king of the frenzied flame.
Man I was really worried for you there in phase 1.
Both ONGBAL and this DLC are better than we deserve 🙏
I really appreciate you for not fingerprint shield poking my favorite boss to death
bro is like the coolest protagonist of a dark fantasy series
you gotta love the high poise damage the White light charge does, one of the best weapons in the dlc.
The amount of times I've died to him before he becomes frenzy lord is frankly embarrassing but funny as hell too
Mesmer orb: I'm just an escape toy TBH
When Midra pulls out the thorns his body makes the Brand of Sacrifice
The order of Ongbal’s uploads further proves how erratic the patterns are in the DLC bosses.
It’s like you’re the boss and he’s fighting you
Wtf that dodge with Messmer's Orb was insane! 3:08
Im surprised you didn't go for parries with this guy, I found that to be fun. Regardless though you made it look easy as always lol
That Messmer's Orb dodge was sick.
Is this the hardest phase 1 in fromsoft history?!?!?!?!
Really good player, probably the best player I've ever seen in ELDEN RING.
3:09 His evasion isn't just about moving and rolling.
I also just did this boss hitless:)
You are an inspiration Ongbal
Messemer Orb for the dodge is the coolest thing ive ever seen
He found the bear hat, very epic
my man using fist especially when riposte so the boss didn't die quickly, amazing performance!
The thing about this boss is that I was always doing just fine, dodging great and all and get him to like 1/3 of health bar without issue. Then I get hit ONE TIME, that leads to fumbled dodge, getting blendered, so I have to retreat to heal, which is instantly healpunished (i fucking hate that input read so much), which leads to getting blendered again and I am on back foot for rest of the fight :D
But overall one of the most fair and interesting bosses, even tho he can be somewhat cheesed by poise breaks (lions claw or - in my case - wild strikes on blacksteel greathammer) absolutely melt him. But it certainly doesnt look so fucking cinematic like Ongbals videos :D
The fact that he switched to his bare hands to do a Critical Hit is pure savage
I just want to say how badass it is that a nearly nakid man with a bear pelt on his head just kicked the falled Lord of Fire to death
I think it's safe to say that our Tarnished got off light with just the needle.
I could totally see Midra being a fair boss to fight in Darksouls 3’s mechanics
Honestly the most fair boss in the DLC. Perfectly difficult. Totally telegraphed and non spammy.
Just the greatest.
Ongbal is a machine! He can't be stopped. He won't be stopped until the boss is dead!
What a beautiful choreography honestly
