Is this the same Rozen that did those excellent LoZ covers a few years back??

After learning the truth behind Marika and why she did what she did, this feels more fitting.

"You will find no answers in that place. There is no solution there. No cosmic plan nor grand design. Naught but a memory lives there now, of what once there was, and of the pain. It too will soon be forgotten, for that grace will never return. Tarnished, if you would go seeking hope, bother not. Those echoes will not avail you; these lands cannot be saved. But if you would ease them in their passing, seeketh there the comfort of Gold."

❤️❤️❤️

Honestly I defeated the final boss and though at first I felt the adrenaline of winning, in the end I looked upon those who aided me in my journey. We did it for a greater good, and it cost us dearly. So can I truly cheer, or cry? A thousand year voyage guided by compassion, replaced (in my case) with a thousand year voyage under the wisdom of the moon. Alas, nothing has changed.

This reminds me of the birthplace theme from hollow knight

Very lovely music. But I can’t let anyone forget about St. Trina’s theme. So sorrowful yet peaceful at the same time.

Despair

Iont care how emotional this is, marika is to racist and power hungry for anybody

This was definitely the song to do a mix of

In an alternate universe somewhere… Marika is just living a peaceful life.

its always emotional version

So when will he upload it to Netease Cloud, I can't wait to listen to it loop

Without condemning or condoning, I understand.

In the end with revelations given in the DLC, Marikas' story was much like Daenerys Targaryens'. Due to her people having coveted biological traits and slain to near extinction, she eventually wanted revenge and sought power to exact it. The Targaryens also had special traits and were very few in number, and Daenerys is often motivated by revenge. Instead of an iron throne, she ascended to godhood. Instead of breaking the wheel, she broke the Elden Ring. Both laid kingdoms to waste with their serpentine childrens' fire. Instead of birthing dragons to conquer the world, she birthed demigods; both of which all were cursed to suffer or die. The deaths of those they birthed led them to madness. Madness for which we tarnished and Jon Snow, their champion guided by grace, end up slaying them at the very throne they sought. And like many GRRM characters, both were incest enjoyers. There are also similarities between Bran and Miquella. Both go off on their own journey of ascension, lost use of their physical bodies to some extent, can control other people at will, ride on the back of a semi-mindless giant man, and their sister is their personal assassin. And where Bran has the godswood trees, Miquella has the haligtree. It almost makes me wonder if the world of Elden Ring includes a bunch of scrapped rough draft-y ideas from ASOIAF, or its simply just inspired by it.

que cancion taaan goood

You can just imagine Marika running through the field of flowers as a young girl. What life must have been like, in the age of the Crucible, before the Greater Will interfered...

you this songs hits hard 5/8ths the way through-- could use some bass remix in here

Marika is no hero. But at the same time, she’s no villain.

This is beautiful

"Golden one, at whom were you angry?"

What do you mean "emotional version"?! Wasn't the original emotional enough? 😂

'Oh Golden One... At whom were you so angry?' as the song of the bats goes. You know, maybe after all this time, she was probably angry at herself and angry that she could never have what she really wanted. As Sir Gideon once said, 'Perhaps the Queen's sorrow was justified.'

Ask yourself why does the Elden Beast's theme play at this location with such.. sad overtones. Almost seeming to convey regret, and the sadness that entails a sacrifice of something important to oneself. And sadness it does convey. Marika sacrificed her people. She gave the Hornsent the idea that Numen flesh blends wonderfully with other flesh. The Hornsent are obsessed with reaching the heavens, and Marika gave them the key of building the gateway to this heaven. Bodies blended together with the flesh of her people created the bloody columns that reach the heavens. The divine gate. What is sainthood if not contributing in the creation of a divine gate? Her seduction and betrayal. So she could become a god.. so she could host the Elden Ring. The Elden Beast.

This is such an amazing piece. The climax is like ecstasy. Bravo.

I need this on spotify

This should play on the dawn of the final day

And one day we will return to our home, bathed in rays of gold.

"And one day, we'll return. To our home, bathed in rays of gold."

really love the solo in the first half

The cycle of genocide began with an innocent young girl escaping a slaughterx

This is more a cover of the final battle theme than it is a cover of shaman village.

The mommet I realise all the horrible things Marika has been through. I immediately want to go to her, give her a big old hug and tell her that I am sorry.

"Only the kindness of gold, without order." In a world under the golden order. The sheer emotion, the love and tears of relief and mercy you feel at the mere affirmation that the light of gold is more than merciless judgement, callous discrimination, unwarranted dictation. That the light of gold can hold love and kindness for the world shatters my heart. Marika if only you had shown the world the kindness and love of gold, without order nor cruelty. Mayhap thy order of gold would birth a world free of despair and loss.

To quote another game describing this DLC, "Good people mean well. They always don't end up doing well".

The fact that Marika and her people experienced such a horror and then she went and replicated it a thousand times over on multiple different peoples makes her worse, not better

The Omens deserved it.

There’s a sorrow in this, a pain so deep… something you know true, that what was lost you will never regain again… I want to ask why. Why do this. Why was this ever necessary. Why can’t they just stop. Why couldn’t they just leave us alone… why….

This song reminds me of the firekeeper song from dark souls 2, so special

😍😍😍😍

Great work! I really like what they did with Marika's background. Made her a character with great depth and her actions maybe not justified but understandable.

When I understood where I was, I forgot to breath. To walk where a God once tread, truly breathtaking.

fuck you, "emotional version" like the original wasnt already emotional, the music is exactly how it was meant to be ffs youre just ruining it

the best remix ever!

Gorgeous song! Can someone tell me if this song is available on iTunes, can’t find it.

I found it And my first thought was I can listen to this now from ROZEN

This'll be remembered in the same way veteran souls fans remember the Gwyn piano,if there's ever a Marika boss fight,this motiff must be played to give players a similar emotional gut punch as when they heard Gwyn's theme while fighting SoC...

This place in the dlc was just a drenched in nostalgia for me. The subtle strums and melody of this piece just had me entranced. A place of a long gone memory. Yet it was as pristine as if it was still lived in. Marika was lied to about godhood and what it would truly entail. And yet, the path to hell is paved with good intentions. And, this village serves forever as a reminder of what if maybe Marika chose not to walk the path of a God? Did she have any other choice? It's bittersweet to think about.

I know its unrelated but you should do Shadowlord

I want this to be played at my wedding.
