[@ravagabro1579]

Not Kudo, but from this game too, I liked the theme of Placidusax more, and the Starscourge Radahn by Shoi Miyazawa is my favorite at all

[@rajput36000]

you should do gta 4 soviet connection

[@michaelpoisel4972]

Great vid man! I would absolutely recommend you listen to the risk of rain 1 and 2 soundtrack. "The rain formerly known as purple" is a fan favorite.

[@ArtesMatt]

PLEASEEEE CHECKOUT SOME HUNTER HUNTER OSTS

[@ravendixon1771]

Godskin apostle

[@Aoenias]

7:14 Yeah pretty much. This is when the dragon rears up and reaches out both his hands to call down forked bolts of lightning from the sky and spikes them at you. It's very cinematic if you aren't too busy stabbing or fleeing to notice...

[@matthewmontesano9517]

Boss needed to be harder to be honest

[@skyofwar123]

​@@matthewmontesano9517 fr they scaled him for early mid game but most people get to him late mid game or early late game, so they just end up steamrolling him 💀

[@mrShade-sb1th]

Ok now we 100% need all the elden ring boss fight music. Bless us!

[@HEROm7]

Yeah we need him to react to The Final Battle OST

[@Zechree]

All 128

[@user-rr2qv6kv6k]

Please do

[@zombieboss5178]

@@Zechree quite a few bosses have repeat songs

[@nunuonroad9969]

It’s unfortunate this is actually one of the easier boss fights in the game due to the boss having low health, so many people (including myself) have never even heard the second half of the song in game. I discovered it months later through these types of videos. Great reaction

[@jonathanzimmer725]

Low health and most dont do him until late game

[@nickjordan7671]

Yeah, they honestly should double his health in a patch. Most people are way overleveled by the time they get to him

[@r3acherxx230]

On release the second phase didn't trigger so that's probably another reason aside from the low health

[@grimey2375]

first run thru i did on mohg i was super underleveled but i was trying to get to the chicken cliff spot at like level 5 running past everyone and everything but wanted to try so i spammed poison and rot arrows from outside his boss room got him to half health then ran in there and bled him to death

[@akunent]

so sad that this boss have so weak hp imagine like radagon hp or elden beast

[@Zechree]

This boss is kinda a secret boss too, one of my favorites from this game

[@9000And1Fails]

From Soft music is always fantastic, and I hope you will eventually listen to the Bloodborne OST, more specifically Ludwig the Accursed/Holy Blade. It's 2 songs used over 2 phases of a boss fight and it is such amazing music to listen to and tells a story and portrays the boss's personality in both phases of his fight.

[@BlueAsterismSolstice]

As someone who's played Elden Ring and previous Fromsoft titles, I can tell you they do it not only as an art to draw in the mood of the battle, but also to tell us about the bosses usually. In the lore, the dragon wasn't only a grand/darker foe, but actually a foe we face off with who intended something very good. An ultimate risk for his demigod friend, both considered divine by nature, blighting the dragon with Death essence on the frontier he ended up trying to ward it from the body of his friend, and becoming part of its sickness within the spiritually killed demigod, Godwyn the Golden. Part of the nature of the song would be to tell us their tragic fate, another would tell us their sense of resolve we must face. Then of course we must recognize who they truly were. My favorite example to this style of approach they've done comes from Dark Souls 1, where the final boss, Gwyn, would be played only in piano, and reflect on his fear and detriments of his decisions, and the set in motion turn of fates for the player to decide from either continuing what unfortunate cycle he had created in his Age of Fire, or start of humanity's taking over the world into an inevitable to come Age of Dark that Gwyn and his men all knew would be coming and feared the most as the holders of the Souls of Light. Some would even be unsure of how much of this is debatable, but everyone would be agreed that they remember the "plin plin plon" in the piano keys, later revisited in a later game, Dark Souls 3. In Dark Souls 3 this would be revisited in the final boss theme 2nd phase, where their moveset would even resemble Gwyn's as a real throwback to the player, and a reminder to what it all originally was told to mean in the first game, to become further imagined to the very end.

[@Norwaygirl11]

Being this is a surprise boss, hearing this music for the first time and seeing Fortissax with the red lightning on his horns is something I'll never forget. A great song for such an amazing boss. One of my favorites in the whole game.

[@Quoisboy]

Imagine he started listening to bloodborne ost’s 🤤

[@H00H]

That aged will

[@TheRtRevKaiser]

Ah man, you should do Mohg Lord of Blood (the version with the Nihil screams is the coolest). The transition from first to second phase in that track is so unbelievable epic it gives me chills, especially with the voiceover added. Edit: Fixed the typo, lol.

[@Zechree]

Mogh*

[@Zechree]

I agree!

[@Tutorial7a]

@@Zechree Mogh*

[@jesajahjulfors4477]

Corrected two times and still wrong, Mohg*

[@AARon11414]

AGREED

[@NovaKnight]

Oh man... already replaying the terror of this boss in my mind. Not necessarily the fight itself, but just the pure presence that this son of a gun had both visually, and because of this music backing him up.

[@greatsoup3439]

elden ring is by far one of if not my all time favourite game, the soundtrack, the gameplay, the boss design, the world and its lore are all outstanding. Definitely worth playing. Fromsoft (the developers) have released some amazing games and always excel, this is the pinaccle of all their work in past games merged into one masterpiece. 10/10 any day of the week.

[@eldenring_area]

Yeeah, cool man!!!!!!

[@Eximius_Lex]

I hope you listen to more, the soundtrack is amazing. It’s always nice to see some more people react to these.

[@martinhso]

Ohhh, you tease! Reacting to my favourite ER OST, but I have to wait 3 days for it. Did you play through ER yet, Tony? You can experience these OSTs at many different levels. Only the soundtrack, listening whilst fighting the boss, listening after learning the lore etc... There's a lot of intent and thought put behind these soundtracks. I love it.

[@dragonturkey6070]

The extra spice that adds to the bombastic feel of tracks from this game is that music is almost completely absent when wandering about. This makes the explosion of sound stand out even more, and it feels extra tranquil and satisfying after a fight .

[@305bj]

Many bosses will have two battle phases. The music will change with that. Hence the sudden drop during the song and then restarting not like part one. Nice catching that!

[@ashersanjan125]

I suffered an entire 2 months playing this game

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Lol 😭

[@Fkinprawn]

Man I just watched this and your Bloodborne reaction video and when you begin to describe the dynamic of what is happening in the song, it's almost as if you're describing the boss fight itself. But you've not played it, so I find it amazing that From software always matches the vibe of their boss fights with the music perfectly.

[@felipedias5959]

Another amazing Review. Your videos makes my day happier

[@TheHarrisontemple]

The dragon that gave everything for it's friend, in a futile battle against the very concept of death itself, and tragically it ends up joining it's friend in a living nightmare. god damn

[@cacojugon]

I'd love if you could do some of Shadow of the Colossus. It has one of the best OST in gaming history. "Prologue" is an incredibly beautiful and emotional piece that gives me chills every time I listen to it. Other great themes are "The Opened Way" and "A Despair-Filled Farewell", which are amazing boss themes. I recommend listening to the entire soundtrack because it's a masterpiece and a journey through all the emotions a human being can feel.

[@luigivercotti6410]

Part of me wants to recommend Rykard's theme (God-Devouring Serpent) _just_ for that drop in the very end that goes harder than anything, ever; I rarely hear people talk about that But I'd say otherwise the biggest must in Elden Ring OST would Mohg's theme (Mohg, Lord of Blood) Love your stuff, you have a great balance of teaching little technical tidbits without losing the vibes of the music, and also a damn smooth voice

[@jonahward4522]

Amazing breakdown of this piece. It’s probably my favorite game ost ever.

[@charlescoco]

You never miss. Love the content !

[@trevorohman8196]

my favorite track in the game! I did a whole project in school on this piece

[@theexchipmunk]

The best description I have for this song is that it basically kicks in your door screaming, punches you in the face and pulls you along at your ears for a a wild ride of madness.

[@1995Milky1995]

All of Elden Ring's boss themes are written in a way that the lore comes across in the music. You may have missed it because you have not played the game (not an issue) but it adds so much depth to the music.

[@NaderZico]

Gotta listen to 'Ludwig the accursed & holy blade' from Bloodborne

[@coleharbak]

Nice breakdown! And nice hat :) Go Hawks!

[@bigdaddycaruso7263]

We need more elden ring ost reaction plssss.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

For sure

[@Quoisboy]

Hell. Yes. Literally my fav Elden tune let’s freaking go.

[@saxdude01]

I'd recommend taking a look at Ludwig's theme from Bloodborne. That is one of my favorite boss tracks

[@Beenevolence]

The sound drops out in Elden Ring tracks to symbolize the phase change

[@smokinggnu6584]

To be fair i hardly ever notice the soundtrack when playing elden ring, especially the boss battle themes, because i'm usually in such a frantic panic trying to survive i cut out most of that background noise in order to get my 3 braincells to focus in on the job at hand (which they only manage to do a majority of the time).

[@jaydenjayden3778]

I was so focused when fighting lichdragon fortissax for the first time that I didn't even notice how good it's theme was

[@ballerdonk]

Amazing music

[@slendydie1267]

If you are going that route I would love to see you react to "Vordt of the Boreal Valley" a Dark Souls 3 OST

[@nedmacamden3019]

Okay here we go lol. You gotta check out the godskin apostles theme from elden ring.

[@Karanagi]

Kudo also composed some tracks for 13 sentinels Aegis Rim which you may enjoy :)

[@opalescent4694]

It's an older soulsborne game, but Dark Souls 2 was my favorite before Elden Ring. From Dark Souls 2, the Ruin Sentinels theme was the first one I properly heard for some reason, and it's really stuck with me. No clue why, I think on a whim I used headphones right before their fight, and I was shocked at how good that music was.

[@AARon11414]

Mohg, Lord of Blood please. That is my favorite boss music in Elden Ring.

[@mango5295]

If you’re doing a lot of gaming OST I highly recommend checking out the yakuza OST such as “pledge of demon,” “twin dragons,” etc.

[@zoom-zip3473]

you have to react to mohg's ost its literally genious direction

[@NutOnYoutube]

Should watch these with footage of the fight

[@wumarNart]

You should definitely look out the Godskin Apostle OST as well. (also from Elden Ring)

[@unworthyglobe4744]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

[@ivankyselov2030]

9:04 Frickin epic...

[@Salvador-312]

Man you gotta react to the Godskin Apostle theme. It’s legendary.

[@akl844]

I'd like you to react to Ludwig, The Accursed & Holy Blade from Bloodborne which is made by the same devs, it's one of the finest and most epic boss battle themes there are, you won't regret listening to it.

[@RageReaver187]

Very cool breakdown! You should also give a listen to the "Ancestral Spirit" boss theme. That one is very underrated IMO and very epic sounding. :)

[@uzieldominguez731]

Ludwig track is always one of my favorites from bloodborne

[@takeoutcentral]

i'd loooove to see you cover something from bloodborne. made by the same producer and has a completely different vibe than anything like elden ring or dark souls. more specifically, i'd love to see you react to Laurence, the First Vicar's theme from bloodborne, as it's one of my favorite songs ever and is one of my favorite tracks from any of the soulsborne titles.

[@Alam220696]

IMO Bloodborne has the OST out of all FromSoftware games, so good that some tracks have been played at concert in Albert Hall. The track you mentioned would be awesome for a breakdown as well as Ludwig, The Accursed & Holy Blade and Gehrman, The First Hunter.

[@mastrix6416]

2nding bloodborne

[@alexpollard7156]

You should listen to some dark souls 3 tracks too. All of these games have an insane soundtrack

[@alejandrocarapia6922]

I was wondering if he would like the music from Code Geass most of it is instrumental but it’s actually pretty good.

[@RY903]

Oh hell yeaaaah finally some sweet souls music. Would really love to see your reaction on some bloodborne ost too. “Laurence, The First Vicar ” is my favorite one. :D

[@Lilindey]

Elden Ring react! So perfect! Thank you very much. It was very interesting. I will say the same as other comments but could you do Mohg Lord of Blood from the same game? :)

[@talravid3966]

Easley the best theme in elden ring

[@Brewed.tea.]

Dude just epic games

[@jaimerojas6578]

I hate this premier video stuff, it's like oh man a video I wanna watch now and then it will be available in freaking 2 days

[@STATIKxxx]

VORDT OF THE BOREAL VALLEY PLEASEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@incius8341]

damn, you need to listen to Darkeater Midir's OST, It's incredible.

[@alsmayna3295]

Man I really hope that you react to Ludwig’s ost from bloodborn it’s by its the best in the soul’s games in my opinion

[@archdh4767]

you gotta check out the Mohg Lord of Blood ost

[@loli_fucker2561]

We need Radagon!

[@megaman161]

Any chance we can get a return to Hollow Knight? Troupe Master Grimm or the Sealed Vessel's theme?

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Definitely will do that game again

[@Dyelan_]

I'm personally surprised that Final Fantasy hasn't been done here yet

[@peeeachexe]

Hey! I think you just have to check out Devilman Crybaby by netflix OST. The person who wrote the OSTs for this anime is simply a genius, I would really like to see your reaction and your opinion!

[@Smasherverse]

Next should be the godskin apostle ost which is just god tier (as most elden ring boss themes are)

[@nevergonnagiveyouupnevergo7319]

I'm gonna be completely honest, with a few noticeable exceptions, most elden ring boss themes weren't that memorable. They weren't bad by any means, they just weren't outstanding.

[@Smasherverse]

(Love the name) I see what you mean, I just like that in comparison to other soulsbourne games each main boss theme seems to have more identity

[@notwhitebeard4749]

Hello Tony good video There is anime called made in abyss and the ost named (takeshi saito) I wish you watch it, much love ❤️

[@erjos3128]

Mohg lord of blood ost is very good

[@GranAut1sm0]

Elden Beast is a must listen!

[@jo56jo55]

I do agree with a reacting of BloodBorne OST Accursed/HolyBlade one of the best from software OST on my opinion

[@partydeer1640]

If you want more church organ action, listen to Laurence The First Vicar from Bloodborne. Awesome track!

[@nikolai6361]

You should check out Lorna Shore - Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames!

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Thanks for subbing

[@hachikuji_mayoi]

interesting that you were recommend this one first because I'd say it's so good because of the contrast it has with the other boss themes of the game. It kinda loses impact on its own imo.

[@HaloWicked0]

I really hope you react to Ludwig, The Accursed & Holy Blade from Bloodborne. Same devs of Elden Ring and its such a masterpiece!

[@Kaminari276]

check out Ludwig the accursed/ holy blade youre gonna love it

[@beauregardfox200]

My only problem with the game is that the boss fight takes all the attention from me so I don't get to fully immerse myself in the 'Grandness' of the music.

[@anopiniononyt9585]

Berserk Guts theme when...

[@hrishikesh4284]

Itd be so fucking cool if you do pontiff sulyvahn theme from dark souls 3

[@sasukay1632]

FFXV Hellfire is epic

[@mateoguzman2547]

You need to react to Malenia Blade of Miquella and Malekith the Black Blade!🔥

[@ALUC1DDREAM]

Great video as always! I don't know if you have, but if you haven't, you should listen to Orochimaru's fight theme song from Naruto.

[@GoIdSteps]

PLEASE do more elden ring, The final battle, and Godskin apostles are a must PLEASE

[@tatsusasaki7911]

hello there my friend, I have a game that an ost you should listen to, It is known as Friday Night Funkin, now actually, you could listen to these songs(which totally slaps.) And also listen to my favorite mod known as Indie Cross. The dev team behind this huge content of a mod is really great, not to mention DAgames helped with some stuff. But, here is a song from the mod that you should listen to. "Bonedoggle" the master behind that one is Saster and someone else, he helped make some music. But my favorite is "Knockout" Super good, but to understand, this reaction should also have the cutscenes in it, it kinda helps break down what is happening(especially for the first week)

[@NachoZ7]

React to Bloodborne Ludwig Battle Soundtrack, GORGEOUS

[@pommedeter7407]

Idk how much of fromsoftware games you know, but the best music in my opinion is in Bloodborne and Dark souls 3, especially in the DLCs if you’re interested.

Day 7 of requesting overlord ops and eds. A week! Elden Ring ost is amazing. Elden ring is a great game also. Extremely difficult tho.

[@ZephyrusAsmodeus]

Presentation-wise, no enemy or boss outmatches Fortisax in Elden Ring. [Spoilers] Beneath the glimmering golden capital city of Leyndel, below the putrid Lake of Rot and beyond the sunken cities lies the corpse of a demigod, slain in spirit but not in body and now a horrific host of a blight of death that stretches its tendrils beneath the Lands Between. The demigod, in life, much loved as he was mighty, befriended a mighty dragon in the wake of their battle, and now, loyal even in the timeless and blighted dreams of a dead demigod, the Lichdragon Fortisaxx defends the hollowed, malignant corpse of his liege, wielding the primal, crimson bolts of draconic lightning in the form of two, forked spears. Both in hand and standing upright beneath a blighted sky, the hellish orchestral swells foretell the crashing of thunder, and your own death, for the sin of trespassing beyond the veil of it, for the hubris of seeking the mantle of the Elden Lord, sealed with the Mending Rune of The Death-Prince and heralding the coming Age of The Duskborn. Gives me chills every time I hear his theme, such a shame he dosent have more health, he deserves a better chance at us.

[@andrei-cezarbleaje5519]
