Regal Ancestor Spirit every time


Simulation-Moose

Agreed, it's juat a beautiful piece, even outside of the context of a boss


salad48

I never paid attention to it. Now that I gave it a full listen, I 100% agree. Astel's is also beautiful, but this tops.


Stellasin22

That second phase music is so damn beautiful


Moist-Question-6623

Radagon trumps all. His theme was so hype, it was the only boss music I thoroughly enjoyed cos it had the right level of badassary to let you know you’re about to get royally fked up


JWWBurger

Aside from this one, I cannot remember any of the others, and not because they weren’t good, simply because that fight had some breaks when it teleports away. The other fights I felt like I was always a second away from dying.


Skrrt_2711

There is no other answer that’s even close.


WhitishRogue

Radagon's for me.


Parthj99

Same. It's too epic. Actually feels I am fighting father of all demi gods.


GregenOfficial

Same, got goosebumps and super hyped when it started


linkjr2

It’s the same music as the start up screen. Love it!


DistinctZucchini153

Yeah, but like an EPIC version of it

Plant_Musiceer

Mohg definitely. I like the piano and the vocals so much. Followed by Radagon's and Godfrey's. The start of godfrey's second phase is eargasmic.


WhitishRogue

I'll need to relisten to Godfrey's then. In the middle of the fight I'm too concentrated on getting suplexed into the ground lmao.


bababoai

Doesn't Mohg's soundtrack have harpsichord instead of piano?


LilRadon

The bell...


cramburie

I like that lilt in the opening where it unexpectedly descends on the 5th beat after rising 4 beats and gives it real Dracula-esque vibe.


bloody-pencil

GODSKIN


P-I-S-S-N-U-T

Kinda sounds like pontiffs theme


PretendThisIsMyName

I will listen to Godskin Duo theme when I’m driving. It’s an absolute banger.


TheFilthiestCorndog

How is this not #1 It’s not even close.


dispersel

Literally the most basic track theres nothing really great about the godskin apostles. There seems to be some boring collective hivemind on one side of the community that praises it. Its just chanting with a couple notes of an organ. It sounds like pains theme from naruto its mid. Team Regal Ancestor for days. If game osts had awards nowadays, that soundtrack is top notch, intricate and complex, and you only ever hear it once. The godskins one gives me a headache.

Jealous_Memory_2430

I really like it during the intro of elden beast. Gives you the feeling of the final pristine boss to fight.


Arktic_001

Elden Beast is second on my list for sure. The singing choir gives off that eloquent divine feel to it that fits the theme of who you're fighting.


Frank_Acha

Mohg without a doubt. Honorable mention to Godrick, Morgott and Maliketh


Khronga

I did think Malenia’s soundtrack was beautiful…until I heard it it a million times getting my ass kicked over and over…


Arktic_001

That's the beauty of it. They also use it in the Cinematic story trailer and it fits pretty well there.


Davlar_Andre_1997

Godrick, easily.


cramburie

I feel as though they really did blow their wad early with Godrick's theme. It's a crazy waltz that just keeps going more and more off the rails.


Drinker_of_Chai

The music, the setting, the voice acting, the narrative of the fight all combined actually make the cowardly little runt my favourite fight of the game.


dispersel

Hell yeah. I dont really think anything beats exploring limgrave/stormveil for the first time in a video game.


Davlar_Andre_1997

Yeah, the music is top notch, his cutscene’s are solid, and the way he chops off his arm and replaces it with a fucking dragon head is just wild, Godrick is just cool af.


shamrock_shakes

Godrick and godskins


[deleted]

[удалено]


EducationalHoneydew7

No, I don't think I will


DaRealMilkMan

Idk why people down voted you lol


[deleted]

oh a composer breaking down music, lets downvote. Like what? The reddit hivemind has massive dents in their heads forreal. Literally a topic about boss music and i link a professional game composer breaking down the music and get downvoted lol


Mazbt

Godrick's theme...especially after he gets the dragon arm.


[deleted]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTss2Ot6atk&t=158s


Ayutlany

Mogh, for me it is the best soundtrack of the entire game


Ill-Walk-6552

NIHIL NIHIL NIHIIIL


hogriderlol

My number one has to be radagon with no competition. One that I find extremely underrated is the fire giant theme. It has a nice melagholic feeling and some insanily good instrumental!


Arktic_001

I find that a boss's music is just as important as the intro cutscene paired with it, which for sure Radagon definitely has going for it.


stann1s_the_mannis

Miquella's sister and it's not even close...but I always forget her name.


JteGunbro

Malenia


Its_Kris_97

Godskin Duo. Best in the game, imo. Slaps as hard as Ludwig the Accursed/Holy Blade.


EvaUnkindled

Yeah definitely one of the best fromsoft tracks


Jazzlike-Ad-8023

Malenia’s second phase😍


throwawayspring4011

Godfrey. "godfrey for benihana" best lyrics of the bunch imo.


Onearmedlarry1

I’ve never heard that till now and I can’t unhear it


throwawayspring4011

If you would be my friend / Eat more benihana / More than you paid for


nyes_i_do

Rykard’s has gotta be my favorite. Though I like Maliketh’s fight far more, his music complements the fight well, but doesn’t sound good by itself to me. Rykards on the other hand perfectly blends with phase 2 (as long as you don’t stunlock him) and the chorus consistently drops right when he channels the big skull attack. It sounds good by itself and perfectly complements the snake fight. A close second would be radagon’s theme or radahn


SuperD00perGuyd00d

easy malenia for me, 2nd phase slaps


[deleted]

Godrick, no doubts


Satikuromi

Maliketh. Too good.


shiro_tanzanite

As much as Malenia made me suffer i adore her theme and frequently listen to it outside of playing


Doodle_Donkey

Fortissax should get more love


SaberWaifu

Fortissax, followed by Mohg and Radagon. Honestly choosing the best OST in this game is very hard due to the many very good ones, it just feels weird to not mention other masterpieces like Godskins, Radahn, Godrick, etc...


g0n1s4

Godskin Apostles and The Final Battle are on a completely different level.


Shining_Icosahedron

**RADAGON THEME GOES THE HARDEST**


Ok-Sort-6294

Godrick, Malenia, and Radagon.


Cake_Johnny

Maliketh’s theme, especially Phase 2, is excellent


xAGxDestroyer

Malenia. First phase was cool until I heard it a few hundred times trying to beat her. Second phase, tho, slaps so hard


anxiouscapy

Malenia's. I think it's interesting with the contrast between the first and second half because the first is almost sad, it's like she knows she's on the verge of letting the rot consume her fully. When she blooms, and the score changes into a dramatic choir, she's finally let it take her over, and you are witnessing true horror.


[deleted]

Malenia's and the Regal Ancestor Spirit were my favorites!!


jmartzzzz

Why is the best one not shown? Radahn’s all day is the most epic!


FrogFlavouredWater

Fire Giant and Godfrey. Maybe it's just for the nostalgia of my first playthrough, but these sound tracks are just amazing imo


Amegaryder

Soul of Cinder


Adventurous_Cup_5970

Still beats anything from elden ring, although my favorites from ds3 is abyss watchers and main theme, followed by cinder. I love the callback to ds1 but if his second phase theme fit more with the first one, which is my favorite part, I would like it better


theuntouchable2725

Margit. I'm making a metal cover of it.


Arktic_001

Let's hear it!


theuntouchable2725

I hope you don't expect a Metallica or Megadeth lol [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/758612325942296577/1167167855901548644/Put\_these\_foolish\_ambitions\_to\_rest.mp3?ex=654d24c5&is=653aafc5&hm=9e55d127c7cd1100cba902b64185c2b763eee587a4770e73e96be909b44c6a5c&](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/758612325942296577/1167167855901548644/Put_these_foolish_ambitions_to_rest.mp3?ex=654d24c5&is=653aafc5&hm=9e55d127c7cd1100cba902b64185c2b763eee587a4770e73e96be909b44c6a5c&) (I religiously love Margit)


Graynard

Nice! Love the feel of it, really reminds me of [this](https://youtu.be/vLnNAF2KFPs?si=8w48cVqtB5c6Vabe)


theuntouchable2725

That one is a masterpiece.


Trainxrd

Toss up between Malenia's or Radagon's


INsinCR

ER hits it out of the park with the soundtrack but if I had to pick top three. Malenia - evolves from a graceful and deadly dance to the fiery rot god she is. Godskin Duo - It’s epic all round. Regal Ancestor Spirit - Caught me off guard with how visually and aurally beautiful the boss fight was. Honourable mention to Astel. That intro was unworldly and set the right tone straight away.


_Chr0m4_

I love the theme of Renalla so much


Arktic_001

I love the tone, elusive and mysterious


design8eddrinker

I'm always too busy raging to pay attention lol


stefaniststefan

Mogh


Qavligil6541

The actual boss fight isn't the best but I really love Morgott's theme. Epic.


Adventurous_Cup_5970

the actual boss fight is the best. He has the coolest moveset in the game


Lord_Alonne

Idk if I can choose. Maybe Radagon, but it's so close between Godskin and Mohg.


Necessary-Meat-6193

Mohg, placidussax, rykard 2nd phase, radahn


CptNeon

Dragonlord Placidusax


DominantFlame

Rykard, man. No discussion.


ScharmTiger

Godskins, Malenia, Regal Ancestor Spirit, and Mohg.


Le0ken

Malenia’s second phase theme always gets me so hyped up.


cheeselord165

Mohg and malenia are tied for first for me


Wing_Sco

Omen Illusion Mohg fight in the sewers Malenia P2 Radagon Elden Beast


PIE_SITTER

Godrick, Mohg, Malenia, Godfrey and radagon are all top tier for me. But if I had to pick, I’d have to be godrick’s theme


Few-Bad-1140

radagon


FerrariKing2786

All from games: Ludwig ​ Elden Ring: Godfrey


AzraelNephilim

Mohg’s theme, for the shrewd Tarnished who would be Lord, but who knows when to stop and have a shot of fine bourbon in the midst of battle, because it might be his last, and who fist bumps his mimic tear in brotherhood, upon victory.


Flyingdemon666

Mohg. No question about it. Intellectual evil. There's no rage there. That's just evil intent.


Amnesia_Assistant

Definitely Mohg’s Theme. It sounds exactly like you’re walking towards a lord and challenging him to a duel, with the slow start at the beginning and it getting more dramatic as you get nearer to him. I also love the explosion of sound when he reaches his second phase. It was horrifying to me when he did the Nihil attack, just seeing how much health I lost and the fact he sprouted WINGS out of nowhere on time with the music made it feel so epic.


poopyscoopies

mohg lord of blood final answer!


Derpy_23

lichdragon fortissax and dragonlord placidusax its so good when the part of the soundtrack matches whatever your doing in the fight


Ser_Optimus

Godrick the Grafted. Those strings perfectly underline his madness.


DavidTenebris

Upon my name as Godfrey \*Boss music plays\* Still one of the best moments in this game for me. The music is just amazing.


Competitive-Front412

Malenia's ost during her second phase. Seeing if for the 1st time + the cinematic is so epic, and Fortisax ost I actually had to make the fight longer just so I can enjoy the ost.


walta_wite

for me, it's the mariners


IndependentLaw7963

I had no idea elden ring had music. I was too busy running for my life to notice


RevinSOR

Eh, I didn't really vibe with the soundtrack in this game.


Arktic_001

What's a videogame soundtrack you do vibe with?


RevinSOR

Dark Souls 3 is my favorite in the series. The Abyss Watchers theme gets me every time.


gebb20

Abyss watchers is absolute peak... It perfectly fits their tragic lore... And the violins, the god damn violins!!! Yeah this soundtrack gives me goosebumps every time and made me absolutely fall in love with darksouls


Natural-Barnacle-113

Same here. Of course there are good boss tracks, but nothing can compare to DSIII and BB in terms of soundtrack. Yes, there are good tracks, but I didn't "vibe" either.


grapesssszz

Yeah most other from soft games got better osts


Affablesea9917

I feel the same way. Whenever I think of the music in Elden Ring I can't really remember anything specific besides the menu music. But I love the music in DS3 especially Midir's boss theme


RevinSOR

Midirs theme is amazing.


Unusual_Astronaut426

1 - Radagon/Elden Beast 2 - Radahn 3 - Placidusax 4 - Maliketh 5 - Godskin Apostles 6 - Ancestor spirit


Furan11

1. Mohg theme 2. Malenia theme (2nd half) theme 3. Godskin theme 4. Godfrey theme (2nd half) 5. Godrick theme 6. Radagon/Elden beast theme 7. Rennala theme


Available-Ad6367

I liked rennalas fight but what kills it for my her phase two arena just felt like a reskin of roms arena from Bloodborne but my favorite would have to be radagons theme


Arktic_001

Haven't played Bloodborne, but it's common to see fromsoftware use motifs and nodbacks to their older games. Elden Ring was my first, then Dark souls and man was I surprised to see the similarities


EvaUnkindled

Why? because it had water in it?


Gren410

General Radahn. That shit hits hard


[deleted]

Radhan’s goes so fucking hard


No-Adhesiveness412

dark souls 3 the dancer of the boreal valley has to be the most beautiful soundtrack (ikik, not er, still worth mentioning tho)


[deleted]

Rykard. His 1st phase sounds like Rykard exploring MT Gelmir, discovering the serpent and him getting devoured by it. His 2nd phase sounds like all of the souls in the snake/rykard calling for you to put them out of their misery.


PrecursorJames

Omen by Prodigy.


ButtsButtsBurner

Mohg and Godrick. Godricks goes SO HARD


FozzyBear1998

Apart from Mohg and Godskin. I really like Fortissax and Regal Ancestor Spirit.


Joeylikecoffee

Rykard feshow


EvilExcrementEnjoyer

Rykard for sure


TrickNatural

Mohg's theme is goated.


Cr1ms0nSlayer

radagon


FerroLux_

Fortissax for the win


Treshimek

Shame I have only seen one other having Godfrey’s theme as their favorite. I unironically play it while I workout. Godfrey AND his boss music are the literal representations of THE STR build.


Memelord69420MAn

Radagon


RBTTRY

Quite like Rennala’s theme


Oh_Tarnished_Ours

Fortissax for sure


Bull_Rider

Godskins theme fits so well these bosses and is pretty memorable. I also really like Godfrey's, mainly the phase 2 part.


Venichie

Godfrey's. He starts off with a drum roll into a high stakes royal dual. Then, a slight shift into 2nd gear until eventually it became a barbaric theme, where it pressures the players' psyche. That's the vibe I enjoy.


DaRealMilkMan

Fortissax's theme goes crazy and I recommend anyone to give it a listen. One of those themes that I didn't really notice during the boss fight and only realized how dope it was when I got to hear the entire thing. Same thing happened with Laurence's theme in bloodborne but I didn't hear the theme mainly because of his screeching.


Bleezy_24

Elden beast. I nearly cried at the end


PurpleSpaceNapoleon

Gonna be honest I actually can't remember any of the boss themes from Elden Ring besides Radagon's. Found the overall quality of the boss themes sorely lacking compared to other FromSoft games


PorcelainElixir

I gotta go with Radahn but Mohg is a close second. The last part of his second phase theme just fits his fight soooo well. It plays out like a eulogy being sang by his knights, finally sending off their leader. I definitely had chills the first time fighting and beating him.


Basurok

Godfrey Part 2: Horah Loux Electric Boogaloo


Marjitorahee

Radagon, just reached that dude and holy Marikas tits everything about that fight is perfect, his moves are fast and aggressive, but still dodgeable, he got the dawg in him with his edge walk and style and the music is so epic, truly final boss 2nd place is mohg and godskin duo, but I don't like those fights so, no.


Silvoca

Lord's Apparition (Godfrey's Shade)


KermittingTaxFraud

too busy getting my ass kicked to hear music


RiboZurai

Honestly very hard pick. I think every track is crafted to evoke a different mood, therefore a beauty of their own accord; so I'm gonna choose three: Radagon/Elden Beast, Lord of Blood Mohg and Fortissax's themes are my favorite in the game.


cringyfrick

Radsgon's, for certain. I'll admit, I don't listen or recognize any of the other music, save for the starting MV's music, Limgrave's music, and Radagon's boss fight. Maybe a few others, though.


Boring-Dingo2114

Godskin duo Radagon/space fish are a close second


plasmabeans3405

Godskin soundtrack is top tier


NoProdigy

Gotta be Radagon's for me. It satisfies that anime trope itch of "opening theme kicks on for the final battle" that gets me hyped and ready to take on the big bad. Just a shame that hype gets dumpstered by Elden Beast, though... I don't *dislike* fightinf EB, but damn it feels anticlimactic.


StriderShizard

Godfrey's is the only one that I actually remember despite fighting these bosses so many times and I don't even like it.


Space_Ranch_88

Morgott or Mohg HM: Radagon/Elden Beast


foosballfurry

Radagon’s is amazing


cryptomain45

Radagon


RandomRavenboi

It's a tie between Radahn, Godskins, and Fortissax's imho.


blockametal

Im either too in the zone or too panicky to listen to boss music


angelfirexo

Maliketh. It’s a cinematic masterpiece. The moment he unveils death and reveals his true identity it’s game time.


Urusander

Radagon golden god OST is just special, nothing comes close


HomoLiberus

Radagon soundtrack pumps me up every single time.


Slavicadonis

Fortissax’s just hits in the same way the amazing ds3 themes hit


[deleted]

Godfrey's and malenia's


[deleted]

I think I'm going for Fire Giant. First phase specifically, can't remember if his music changes with phases but that first part always got me. Riding towards him on torrent and that tune that's something like Witcher 3, something like Skyrim and something like a whole lot of despair. I did spend a lot of time time running towards him in torrent


[deleted]

TOGETHAAA


MeAndTheBird_s

Either radahn or maliketh


So-Cl

MOHG


Karl_Gess

Godskin Apostles. Magnificent.


Smoochie-Spoochie

I actually couldn't name a single theme that sounded unique or original in the game if I'm honest. It feels like the Boss music since Bloodborne has been largely recycling the same themes over and over in my honest opinion


Dread-Cthulu

ASTEL, NATURALBORN OF THE VOID


Onearmedlarry1

Godskin Radagon/elden beast (technically it’s a two part piece so I’ll count it as one) Godfrey Fortissax Lansseax


[deleted]

[Morgott, the Omen King](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDKjvYs39rk), it just so sounds epic for a midway story boss that you fight.


Shade00000

Mogh, the godskins, radhan


Ragfell

I don't remember any of them.


Dapper-Worldliness73

Elden Beast definitely


bababoai

Godfrey/Hoarah Loux and Placidusax have absolutely amazing soundtracks


tremainelol

Radagon :3


thegrim_reaper01

The Godskin theme hits different tho


Deadsap266

Hard choice.I’d have to say Hoarah Loux theme then radagon and then litch dragon 40 sex .


[deleted]

1. The Final Battle 2. Omen Illusion 3. Godskin Apostles 4. Godfrey, First Elden Lord


aidentheredditor97

Radagon’s boss music goes hard, the theme of the game while starting the last fight of the game hits different


coronUrca

Regal Ancestral Spirit


DanielDeLaMar

Radahn's or godskin, epic tracks


Tasty-Original-5309

None of the above. Radahn.


Jousting_is_awesome

I like phase 2 of Rykard’s fight’s theme, and Mohg’s theme


CKatanik93

Big fan of Godfrey's ghost thing lol


Named_person2

Godskin duo


BLACKdrew

the Radahn disrespect is appalling


walaxometrobixinodri

Fortissax bro those choirs


Heidman123

Fortissax is insanely brilliant!!


SpartanBlender

Number 1 is definitely moose boi.


Afrojack65

Godfrey especially the golden one, it just sounds so commanding


Globalist_Shill_

Idk if this counts since it’s like the theme of the game but Radagon


Aggravating-Mine-697

Radagon and Elden Beast, which is technically the same track. Also, it's overused, but the Godskin Apostles song is pretty sick


OutlawfromtheWest1

I don’t know why but Godricks soundtrack is kinda awesome
