Elden Ring DLC - The maddest OST syncs (Midra Cinematic Fight)

the midra community

[@VictorIV0310]

Really scary to think that he could’ve removed the greatsword at any time but only held out for so long because Nanaya bade him to “endure”.

[@Veloketh]

And all it took was a foul tarnished to walk into his room for him to go „fuck it we ball“

[@anonymousnate678]

Even more brutal when you consider Nanaya was likely a maiden of the 3 fingers and told him to "endure" in order that the flame of frenzy would fester and marinate until he could no longer hold it back. Midra was an extremely tragic character.

[@Veloketh]

@@anonymousnate678 I love the theory that Nanaya was a shapeshifter (Shabriri) who seduced him, it reminds me of DS2 and the shards of Manus

[@Gozieaaa]

@@VictorIV0310 there is an entire analysis video for midra and it says in the end that midra only thought there were two options, either he endures so that the world can live as he suffers (but nanaya wanted him to endure so that he becomes a true lord from a failed lord) or, he removes that sword and burns the world, but he never thought that there was a third option, which is us, the strength others could posses, we not only free him from his suffering but also protect the world from the flame of frenzy (unless... Y'know)

[@pogicus89]

I had a personal theory that Marina was not the sole survivor of the Shaman village, but Nanaya was as well. Maybe she was brought to Bonney Village and was tortured to a breaking point before accepting the frenzied flame. Since the abyssal woods is downstream of the Bonney village region, it’s possible she escaped to that area and brought with her the frenzied flame faith. In essence, she would have been the reason for the frenzied corruption of the area.

[@Giganotus]

unironically I think more boss showcases should be like this. A way to show off what the boss can do rather than trying to simply defeat it. You manage to capture a lot of Midra's moves very clearly and you make sure to not obliterate him too quickly. You also don't use many flashy moves on your own that could obscure the screen and make the fight less visible. Really made it feel like you and Midra were both dancing and fighting at the same time. Excellent work!

[@Veloketh]

Thank u, really glad you liked the fight!!

[@Veloketh]

@Bayle-the-Dread-Dragon yeah time for a refight soon

[@Papa_Guacamole]

God, I love the fact you cant hear Midra scream as he takes the sword out because he already severed his own throat. Such a creepy detail.

[@ThatSentinel]

I just love how elegant he is somehow

[@Veloketh]

really cool that they made the lord of chaos fight so graceful and controlled

[@calamitousenigma9052]

​@@Veloketh The DLC made me notice more clearly that there's almost an underlying theme that those under the outer gods' influence whl embrace it are quote-unquote "better" for it. Midra moves with grace and elegance despite being the Lord of Chaos. Romina was once totally normal before she embraced the Scarlet Rot in her despair. It's like resisting the outer gods is what actually brings madness and pain (see: Vyke, Malenia, etc) but embracing them is like a rebirth. Of course, Midra is still an eldritch abomination who would burn the world to the ground and kill everyone if we don't stop him right then and there. But it's so interesting to compare the despair and painful desperation in his "endure" phase versus how calm and elegant he is when he embraces the Flame.

[@nicholasm4058]

@@calamitousenigma9052once your in it’s sort of hard to resist going down further I guess huh?

[@nickhard7615]

Not just elegance, euphoria. It's like he's just so relieved to finally let go and end it all. Especially in the actual ending, just that sinister elation that the Lord of Frenzied flame takes in all of the chaos amidst the cries of the dying

[@twistedturnip8487]

@@nickhard7615 Basically that yeah, i said it on another video but he moves with such an elegant grace and flow because for him, this moment is pure bliss, he is free, the sword is out of his body, he no longer has to endure god knows how many years of untold pain, he has been released of his duty and sways with newfound confidence and joy even in such twisted madness. Ironically while meeting the tarnished is the worst thing that cna happen to most bosses in the game for Midra it was the bets thing to ever happen to him no matter how brief the encounter would become.

[@El_Hornio_II]

Honestly I love this fight, you're not fighting a God who seeks to retain the status quo or one who seeks to bring a new age into existence, no you're fighting the apocalypse, the end of everything that even the other gods couldn't hope to face, if you do not stop him now, you are dooming all of existence into becoming little more than a homogeneous molten slag, eternally burning, eternally doomed to the frenzy or depending on your playthrough, you could BOTH be the apocalypse incarnate, regardless of who wins and who loses, existence is doomed and you're simply fighting for the right to be the frenzyflames avatar who shall see it all incinerated

[@rokkraljkolesa9317]

as others have pointed out, it's cool how the attacks sync up with the music but the fluidity of Midra's movements, combined with some of your own attacks in time with the music, really makes this feel like a dance a dance between a god of Chaos and a foolish Tarnished

Never seen a complaint on midras hitboxes. The others seemed valid enough

[@udayveersingh7495]

​@@NSEBMB Sure but what I dont get is that people be like Elden ring and especially the dlc has "bad hitboxes. But they seem to forget that the other games also had stupid hitboxes as well.

[@SwagapagosTurtle]

@@udayveersingh7495 what's not to "get" here? do you think that when people say that "X has bad hitboxes" they mean that ALL hitboxes are bad? Elden Ring DOES have bad hitboxes. SotE DOES have bad hitboxes. Yes, older games also had them, and that is not an excuse - it's a sign that the devs had the opportunity to learn to NOT make bad hitboxes later. And evidently, they didn't learn. Because for every attack that actually has tight hitbox like Midra's spin, you will have the entire arsenal of Promised Consort.

[@udayveersingh7495]

@@SwagapagosTurtle You are the type of person who either thinks that the devs don't know what they are doing or even worse, that you could do it better than them. Promised Consort has a few moves that do have questionable hitboxes but not "the entire arsenal". Also, some of the moves with questionable hitboxes are I think intended design decisions. For example, Miquella's ring of light which is thrown by Radahn's sword and is followed by Radahn's right handed sword swipe has a spherical hitbox instead of a disc. Whether you agree with that or not is up to you but calling his whole arsenal having bad hitboxes is a disgusting and insulting take. How do you expect a studio which has to keep pumping out banger games almost annually to be perfect in every single way? Ok, the hitboxes of certain moves of certain bosses may be a little wonky but they also had to release the game. They couldn't just keep developing it for another 4 years. You people never want to look at improvements. You just want to complain and complain and complain. Even on objective improvemnts you still find a way to complain. So go ahead, keep complaining and not have fun.

This is such a beautiful fight. Midra and his theme are just majestic! I only wish he was not so underwhelming, and his attacks to be a bit more creative. Cus some attacks look like as if souls modders modded these attack instances. At least with how fromsoftware is spawning these cone-shaped frenzy flame waves.

[@Veloketh]

I kinda like how weird frenzied flame behaves, it’s really otherworldly and sounds electric during some attacks. I don’t really know what else they could’ve done with his moveset, I think it’s pretty unique and creative but I also wouldn’t complain if they made it even more spectacular or varied

[@joakimch.2437]

I agreed. Only the five combo swing and the sun explosion attack is newly seen. The other frenzy flame attacks just looks like the ones the player can cast. But it’s still one of my favorite bosses along side with Bayle and Mesmer, due to he’s simplicity, style, and music
