​@@alessandrolamera8857 Reference to the book "The King in Yellow" of R.W. Chambers, which later inspired Lovecraft during his own writings. In the Chtulhu Mythos is believed to be the name of one of the many personifications of Hastur, or alteratively Nyarlathotep (unconfirmed). Midra in second phase, with his yellow cape, is reminescent of the King in Yellow's attire (and frenzy ties well with the Cthulhu mythos for obvious reasons) - hence "the lord in yellow" (y'know, Lord of Frienzed Flame?) Just for fun: people often used to call the Old Monk in Latria (Demon's Souls) that, as well.

Might be the best ost they’ve made. It’s not most iconic but I think it’s the most fitting for a boss. It matches the boss in every way especially since it’s a waltz towards the end and this boss is more of a dance than any boss in the game

The waltz part is my favorite, its so good

[@weinopi]

yes exactly! reminds me of DS3 music; simply beautiful

[@ShutterSnapped]

It was very nice of Miyazaki to include a Bloodborne area in Elden Ring. All jokes aside I absolutely love this boss, the character, the music and the setting it's all in. It desperately makes me want Miyazaki to return to a full-on horror themed game. Ludwig's theme was one of my favourites ever, so I'm realizing this theme is no surprise it's become one of my favourites here, even down to the waltz timing.

[@deathound]

I love how this is a Waltz too, not only is the music chaotic, but there is still a consistent 3/4 rhythm with the appropriately timed 'heavy' notes amongst the lighter ones, there is *indeed* beauty in the madness.

Midra's attacks are also much more observable than Messmer at times as well imo.

[@jesuss5721]

3:50 is the most underrated OST of Elden RIng. Violins ramping up tension and choir dropping the beat while Midra draws his sword around dancing. That's good boss design in my book.

[@Sormyr]

You can almost say that FromSoftware went full 4th wall-breaking with how he spins and twirls to the tempo of the song. Which is fitting! Given it's the first time we've battled an actual Lord of the Frenzy Flame, which fits the bill as far as cosmic and eldritch horror's concerned imo.

[@jesuss5721]

@@Sormyr Thanks, I thought I was the only one being blown away by this "choregraphy". I really wished you could have a Mending run of Frenzy and have Midra go through a THIRD phase, scaling up to (Outer) God of Frenzy only if you made the Frenzy quest. Just so that we can have some more of this majestic theme, I can't get enough, I won't get enough of it. Also because Midra himself is not *that* hard compared to others.

this ost is the best one in the dlc hands down this 3:50 coming out in 2nd phase gave me goosebumps just a crazy fight all around

[@tommapar]

The fact that his moveset is almost all about delayed attacks, somehow forces you to keep your cool in the face of madness. Getting behind him and remaining steadfast not reacting early is key. Keeping your cool and not panicking is always part of the experience but it feels deliberate that they ask of you not to react to early here. It's like that in each and every attack it would seem. I'd say it's another instance where From takes their storytelling to the next level, by drenching the gameplay with it. Even if I had an easier time with him than with most of the DLC bosses (except Romina, I don't understand how I first tried it) I find this to be one of the most fun bosses to fight. Right next to the Divine Lion, the Demihuman Swordsman, Messmer and Bayle.

For me this is by far the best fight in the DLC alongside the Bayle Boss. All the abyssal woods, the context of the previous encounters with the flame of frenzy and the glorious ending it has ... Midra was magnificent, a dance, a ticking bomb of despair, as a lord of chaos myself, this is amazing.

Am I the only one who feels like Midra's and Micolash's themes are somehow so similar, yet polar opposites of each other? Like, Micolash's theme feels like a descent into insanity, while Midra's comes off as a twisted, maddened ascent from that very same madness not into sanity, but chaos? I'm probably not making much sense, the two just feel so similar and so different at the same time

[@zeonmx]

From hired the same choir and symphony band that did Bloodborne themes for SotE DLC.

[@shquankinket8068]

No I know exactly what you’re saying. They both sound like mania but Micolash sounds like the bad ending of going insane while Midra sounds like he somehow gained control over the madness which he did.
