Elden Ring: "Arise, ye Dead Who Yet Live" | Title Theme / The Final Battle - Epic Orchestral Cover

Drop nearly sent me to the lands between

Holy crap he’s alive! I’ve missed your songs so much, you mean the world to me thankyou for surprising me with this!

THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED

Good to see you return. Missed your music Alot!

Welcome back, Sir Gray.

after all these months the legend came back

Return of the king

Literal chills. Amazing as always. One of the great things about making music as a hobby is that you can take as much time as you want. This is a blessing but also a curse as I'm sure you know since having no pressure can result in having no motivation, and when you actually enjoy making music and sharing it, having no motivation sucks because then you aren't doing what you enjoy. I also heavily relate to the feeling that I'm not good enough to do a song justice with a cover, there are so many songs I want to make a cover of but I feel like they would end up just sounding like a worse version of the song. You however, you're there, you've got the skill. At this point I can't really think of any songs you couldn't do justice to.

I like a lot the epicness you've put in this

This cover is always so good

the king is back

Glad to see you back:virtualhug:

Dude this is amazing 👄 You manage to make me like every bit of your covers more so than the originals

The return of the king!! Epic work as usual <3

Well, from the intro, we've got: 1) Fia, the Deathbed Companion--the only one who actually has a plan to fix things and the will to carry it out. Interestingly, you can kind of accomplish the most critical aspect of her goal without even choosing her ending. By completing her questline, you can "fix" Godwyn the Golden's half-death by helping her use her one-time quasi-ressurection ability to give Godwyn a proper death, solving the root of the corruption in the Erdtree/Golden Order that causes the "Those Who Live In Death" problem in the first place. Using her Mending Rune solves the problem much more completely, and fixes those whom are already afflicted, and ensures that it can't happen again, but still, even without that, Fia manages to fix the critical problem within her questline. Not bad! 2) Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-Knowing--the guy who doesn't actually know all that much, and despite seeing into the will of Marika at some point, he somehow fails to understand that Marika actually wants a Tarnished to rise up and kill her/the Elden Beast, and tasked Hewg (the immortal blacksmith chained to the Roundtable Hold) to make a weapon capable of slaying a god. Instead, he opposes you near the very end, believing that Marika actually wants the Tarnished to struggle unto eternity and NOT challenge the Greater Will/Elden Beast, believing to his bones that such a feat is impossible even though you've already slain at least three (and as many as ALL of them save for the near-dead Miquella and Godfrey himself) demigods by yourself and managed to burn down the Erdtree. Gameplay-wise, you go from killing Ofnir to killing Godfrey a few minutes later and then killing the Elden Beast a few minutes after that, proving him hilariously wrong in record time. 3) Dung Eater, who is so repulsive and hostile to everyone that it's kind of hard to imagine ANYONE siding with him and actually carrying out his plan to change the Elden Ring to curse everyone and the world itself like the Omens. It doesn't help that he is portrayed as disgusting and horrific in basically every way possible, and that he even tries to kill you and defile your corpse at one point even if you side with him. 4) Godfrey, the First Elden Lord, who is returning as he was bade to by Marika herself, to be granted audience with her once more, killing anyone and anything that stands in his way. This guy, at least, is going to personally see his plan through by himself, and has the means to have a good chance at succeeding. He doesn't rush, though, and views you as a worthy challenger that has earned the right to challenge him for the throne before he can have a go at it. Defeating him earns his most heartfelt praise and faith that you will succeed. 5) Goldmask, who is...uh...well...no idea, really. The game does a terrible job of explaining anything about him. He never speaks. There is almost zero lore about him. He seems to be of the same race as the Onyx Lords, but that's about it. He's extremely enigmatic and doesn't explain anything, to the point where all of his followers have long abandoned him because they had no idea what he was doing or what his plan was. Even if you complete his questline, his Mending Rune SOUNDS great, but leaves out literally all of the details. His ending of "Perfect Order" appears to be the best ending, tied with Ranni's ending, depending on how you interpret them. But even so, the questline is downright bizarre, because literally the only contribution you make of any kind is telling him that Radagon IS Marika (which isn't quite true, but still is, kind of; it's never really explained very well what their deal is)--beyond that, you have no involvement other than choosing to use his Mending Rune in the end if you want. He also dies in the end...somehow. You find his corpse in one of the intact sections of the Ashen Capital with no signs or implications as to what killed him or why he died at all. Maybe the priest that was following him betrayed him and murdered him because he believed that Goldmask was actually insane all along? But then why was the priest on the opposite side of the city from where Goldmask was located, with no intent to move, killing himself in despair? And why did he not realize that Goldmask wasn't insane when Goldmask had clearly finished a very noticeable Mending Rune of Perfect Order? And not mentioned in the intro is Shabiri, Chaos Incarnate, an option only chosen by the extremely gullible who aren't paying much attention, and are mainly focused on trying to sacrifice themselves to save Melina, despite Melina repeatedly telling you that she wants to use herself to burn the Erdtree and that she wants you to respect her choice. In this ending, the world is basically destroyed, you are all but dead already, and Melina promises to kill what is left of you. How she plans to do this, and how what is left of the burning hellscape of the world is meant to be saved in any way after the entire Elden Ring has seemingly been burned to cinders, is left unaddressed.

This is a chef-d’œuvre

Also awsome job on this

Hell yeah

Ahh yes!

<3 LOVE THIS ONE
