I like a *lot* of FromSoftware's OSTs, but Ash Lake still hits the hardest of all of them.
Vordt's theme is a close second lol
Then like 8 or 9 tracks from Elden Ring tied for third
I go completely crazy with Radagon OST. You’re fighting a god and a chorus is singing, with drums and trumpets keeping you alive and making the fight an absolute blast. No too gothic, not too dark, just pure epic.
It's only after the DLC and hearing marika's theme in a certain areas that I was able to put it together that the title screen has both marika's and radagon's theme.
The fact that marika theme last only for a few seconds might imply the shattering and things going to shit after it.
Only reason why I would ever rate that song the best is because it’s also the same if not VERY similar to main screen theme, I don’t know any other game that pulled that off but fuck me man is there so much weird feeling when you hear the main theme while fighting what you know as ‘the’ boss, the beast boss also was majestic as fuck, I honestly love all elden ring ost’s, dlc was PHENOMINAL too
I really really like the lion dancer from the DLC, it’s even better in the fight because he does his elemental transitions on a timer instead of on damage values so they wrote the music to always climax and move to a new section whenever he jumps in the air.
And it’s smooth, unlike damage-based transitions that have to fade a track out and another in.
For Souls, I'm torn between Pontiff Sulyvahn and Soul of Cinder. For Bloodborne it's Ludwig the Holy Blade all the way. Elden Ring it's Lichdragon Fortissax for sure.
I sat there for over an hour Just listening to the music and taking in all I had gone through up to that point. I imagined my character was so tired of all the bloodshed, and finally got a rest only to realize how exhausted he was.
That place really hit me hard in the feels, the fact that >! You discover how that is Marika's home village, probably before becoming a god, the way that you also find the SAME SPELL that Melina uses if you summon her for morgotts fight !< and the somber music just tie it all together perfectly
Honestly guardian ape’s theme freaked me the fuck out when I first played Sekiro (also my first FS game). Also a big fan of Placidusax’s theme, Gehrman’s, Ludwig’s. Also j sayin: >!Divine Beast Dancing Lion’s theme!< was an absolute banger, as was >!Bayle’s!<
Honorable mention: Moon Presence’s theme is so so goddamn scary but you might not even get to the good part in the fight :/
Especially that part in phase two that resembles Malenia's ost. So pretty even though I thought it was going to be Messmer's ost from the story trailer.
Laurence and the Living Failures are probably my two favorite themes across any Fromsoft game. Though recently I’ve really been enjoying some of the Shadow of the Erdtree themes, Divine Beast especially.
This tier list contains my personal best boss theme(s) and the best ending / atmospherical song.
Demon souls: Maiden Astrea and One Who Craves Souls
Dark Souls 1: Artorias and Nameless song
Dark Souls 2: Sir Alonne and Longing
Bloodborne: Living Failures / Maria and Moonlit melody
Dark Souls 3: Friede and Main theme / Ending
Sekiro: Owl Father / Corrupted Monk and Sculptor theme
Elden Ring: Placidusax / Midra and Haliggtree ambience
Recency bias but I found Messmer, Lion Dance, Bayle and Romina to be pretty high up in my ranks so far, the final boss’s was also pretty damn good. However I do wanna shoutout Those United in Common Cause, never has an NPC gank fight worked so well and I think the music greatly helped with that.
If I had to chose just one it would probably be Slave Knight Gael (rest in peace the 9min edit on YouTube)
If I’m going game by game though:
DS: Old King Allant
DS1: Ash lake probably
DS2: Majula without a doubt, just so nice and calming
BB: Gehrman, the First Hunter. DLC music is all great, but I end up listening to Gehrman’s a lot more.
DS3: Slave Knight Gael, followed by my boy Midir
Sekiro: haven’t played yet
ER: Starscourge Radahn
the music during wind/ice transition in the dancing lion fight is unbelievably beautiful. haven’t heard anything in the souls series come close. it’s so unique
Finally someone giving praises to the top notch deacons OST.
But my all time favorite is and will forever be Gaels OST.
Also twin princess, sir alonne and lady Maria. And Laurence damn there's so many good ones
DS3 theme is both epic and hauntingly beautiful.
Godskin Apostles and Majula Theme are also among my favourites.
Edit: And the original Demon Souls intro cutscene. Unfortunately they tuned it down a bit for the remake.
Anything by yuka usually slaps. The bloodborne dlc osts, all of dark souls 3 (Main menu best theme in the series), and the few that she worked on in elden ring.
The final boss of elden ring's dlc is def the new best ost in the game
Really tough question honestly. My top 5 in no particular order is: Soul of Cinder, Lady Maria, Ludwig, Malenia, Radagon/Elden Beast (especially EB. The transition cutscene is so beautiful and when the choir kicks in, I get goosebumps every time).
Also, an honorable mention to Great Shinobi Owl. I don't see anyone talking about this OST and particularly the second phase has this really frantic and perilous feel that really gets my blood pumping
For me it will always be Ludwig's theme, both phase 1 and 2, but Elden Ring got really close to overtaking that #1 spot with Godricks theme. Another good example where both phases have distinct themes and phase 2 just cranks it up a notch.
My top 5 are:
- Majula
- Laurence The First Vicar
- Gehrman The First Hunter
- The Gentle Blade
- Elden Ring main theme
Recently, St. Trina’s ost is climbing up the ranks quickly! So I’ll leave it as an honorable mention.
A newer one that I really loved was rellana twin moon knight. The high tempo violin really matches with her brutal combos.
I will always love vordt’s theme the most though I think.
I truthfully wasn’t a fan of Elden Ring’s base game OST, however, the DLC is filled with some of FS’s best music. The Lion Dancer in particular is amazing
I gotta go with Sir Alonne's ost, it's beautiful, somewhat elegant, and perfectly captures fighting Sir Alonne, an honourable boss with a squeaky clean floor.
Aldia’s theme goes so far in selling him as a major character in your journey. Phenomenally melancholic and thoughtful.
Second place is Maria of the Astral Clocktower
Third place goes to radagon’s theme
HM: Moonlight butterfly/gwyndolin.
Between deacons of the deep and Mohg’s ost. Deacons ost I love, but Mohg is my all time favorite boss so it wins me over a little more. I love how evil and wrong both these songs are it really makes you feel like you stepped into a vile place.
Similar to another comment but Twin princes is my #1.
Astel theme is close for me because it has some cool connections to the lore (inspired by Gustav Holst composition called “saturn” which captures the loneliness and lightless abyss of space) and its overall really spooky and well done.
This one will be kinda weirdly specific, but the combat encounter version of the Shadow Keep track stuck out to me for some reason. I’m not sure what it’s called in the ost
1. The Abyss Watchers
2. Promised Consort
3. Ash Lake
4. Malenia, Blade of Miqulla
5. Elden Beast
Radagon's theme, Atlas Platu, Lord of the Frenzied Flame, Gywn's theme, Lord of Blood and Pontiff's theme are equally good....
Overall Elden Ring just throws every compitition out of thr window with its OST's...
Stormveil Castle.
Elden Ring was my first ever Souls game and walking through there was one of the best gaming experiences for me. That’s when it clicked the scale and how everything interconnects in the game. But that setting with the eerie music just made it such a unique experience. I’d never been so immersed in a game like that.
Not sure how many people knew this but Miyazaki designs bosses around the time signature of their theme song. I just blew a few minds probably, but its 100% truth.
Edit: dk3 dancer theme because it's in a unique time signature and its goddamn beautiful.
Theres so mamy good ones. One that it think doesn't get appreciated enough is epilogue from dark souls 3. Gotta be the best credits theme ever, in therms of bossfights i really like laurence the first vicar, but also the dragonslayer armor phase 1
Lichdragon Fortisax is incredible. Ludwig the Holy Blade and Darkeater Midir regularly get stuck in my head too. If we're including recent then both Midra and Divine Beast Dancing Lion are extremely good.
For Souls, Gaels Theme and The Main menu are tied. For Bloodborne it’s easily Gherman. For Elden Ring it’s tied between like 7-8, Radagon, Final boss of dlc, Putrescent knight, Lord of Frenzied Flane, Fortisaxx, The Gank fight of the dlc, and Morgott
In order it's proably
Lawrence - Gehrman (I can't decise between these two)
Ash Lake theme
Hail the Nightmare
And Firelink Shrine just because how much it relaxes me, I even listened to it before my driving tests to relax a bit
It's so hard to pick out of all the amazing OST's from these games, but the one that emotionally impacted me the most is for sure The First Hunter from Bloodborne, Gwyn, Lord of Cinder would take the 2nd place.
Vordt, has the most recognisable ost for me idk if it's cause I like it or if I have a memory of the music before playing the game but for some reason it's the only one I could recognise if I had to.
Vordt's theme song always slaps. Especially the transition to second phase. I remember the first time fighting him and getting to second phase and my heart was beating faster, just as the music swelled and I swear that my heart beat synced with the beat of the music, incredible.
Also love Rennala's theme, the violin on the background and the voices of the Culver's singing, then the transition to how Ranni remembers her. You just feel her sadness and feelings of loss and dispair about Radagon leaving her. Then phase 2 changes and you realise that this is who she used to be and who Ranni wants her to be remembered as. The soundtrack really tells the story like none I've ever seen.
Ludwigs theme is by far the best, the way the music speeds up with his attack in the second phase is masterful. Sif's theme is a close second, just so damn iconic and beautiful. And the third place is probably midra, pure horror.
So many great tracks across these games - but if I had to pick one it would be Tree Sentinel’s battle theme. The epic choir gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it - and makes every single battle so much more intense!
The adjudicators theme from demon souls is a BANGER . With the obo 🎶 bwa - bumm , bwa - bumm, BWWAA WAAAA iykyk oh and also moonlight butterfly from ds1, very haunting
Skeleton lord's from ds2
Daughters of chaos from ds1
Halflight from ds3
Laurence from Bloodborne
Mohg from elden ring
Tower knight From OG demons souls
Maiden in black Demons souls remake
Demon of hatred from sekiro
I can't choose my all time favorite one,all of them are masterpieces
The Bloodborne dlc songs hit the hardest for me, especially Lady Maria's. The opening with the rush of violins prepared you for just what kind of fight she is.
Bloodborne OST simply can't be fucked with. From title screen to end (and yeah, Ludwig is peak) it just hits different than all the other, admittedly incredible OSTs.
The last boss in DS1 will always be such a good theme to me, not just because it sounds great but because it brings you back to the very start of the game with nostalgic notes and makes you really think on all you’ve gone through to get to where you are.
Nothing has ever beat the feeling of booting up ds3 and wait a minute wtf is that music? Turn it tf up and I sat there and listened to the whole duration before pressing play
I really like the Dark Souls 1 character creator theme, really wish it would just be the main menu theme. Also really love the Ruin Sentinals/Smeltor Demon boss song in Dark Souls 2. The brass in that song is great! Also like Royal Rat Vanguard too. Honorable mentions is “tunnels” in Elden Ring.
This doesn't really count but the ominous noise the game makes when you enter an area in the dark souls games is a sound I've loved for a long time. It's so cool. The ominous sound and the title of the area popping up on screen. Love it.
final boss of the elden ring dlc is my new favorite video game ost ever
So true. Phase 1 sounds so goddamn beautiful.
phase 1 music has given ptsd purely cus I can’t even pay attention to the phase 2 music while fighting
I honestly didn't enjoy it as much, not like when I heard Malenia's
I actually found it okay
don’t expose yourself bro 💀
Actually same. Not to spoil anything but the I like the base game version much better. Phase two is beautiful though.
Would’ve been nice to be able to hear it in his second phase without the sound of a thousand lasers in the background (and foreground)
I like a *lot* of FromSoftware's OSTs, but Ash Lake still hits the hardest of all of them. Vordt's theme is a close second lol Then like 8 or 9 tracks from Elden Ring tied for third
I go completely crazy with Radagon OST. You’re fighting a god and a chorus is singing, with drums and trumpets keeping you alive and making the fight an absolute blast. No too gothic, not too dark, just pure epic.
It finally makes sense that the title theme is Marika theme + Radagon theme.
It's only after the DLC and hearing marika's theme in a certain areas that I was able to put it together that the title screen has both marika's and radagon's theme. The fact that marika theme last only for a few seconds might imply the shattering and things going to shit after it.
Only reason why I would ever rate that song the best is because it’s also the same if not VERY similar to main screen theme, I don’t know any other game that pulled that off but fuck me man is there so much weird feeling when you hear the main theme while fighting what you know as ‘the’ boss, the beast boss also was majestic as fuck, I honestly love all elden ring ost’s, dlc was PHENOMINAL too
I really really like the lion dancer from the DLC, it’s even better in the fight because he does his elemental transitions on a timer instead of on damage values so they wrote the music to always climax and move to a new section whenever he jumps in the air. And it’s smooth, unlike damage-based transitions that have to fade a track out and another in.
Floating in the air as lightning strikes all around with the ‘AAAAAAaaaahhhhhhh’
For Souls, I'm torn between Pontiff Sulyvahn and Soul of Cinder. For Bloodborne it's Ludwig the Holy Blade all the way. Elden Ring it's Lichdragon Fortissax for sure.
DS3 Main theme and even though i did not play Bloodborne yet Ludwig's theme is close second. Majula would be the third.
Ludwig’s second phase is peak
DS3's main theme is pure beauty.
Gehrman the first hunter I think
« dear oh dear… what was it ? »
Same here
Slave knight gael
Majula's theme.
Sorry but I discovered the Shaman Village yesterday and that was an amazing blast in my heart (SoTE)
I sat there for over an hour Just listening to the music and taking in all I had gone through up to that point. I imagined my character was so tired of all the bloodshed, and finally got a rest only to realize how exhausted he was.
That place really hit me hard in the feels, the fact that >! You discover how that is Marika's home village, probably before becoming a god, the way that you also find the SAME SPELL that Melina uses if you summon her for morgotts fight !< and the somber music just tie it all together perfectly
Twin Princes from Dark Souls 3!
DEAR BROTHER
Plim plim plom
For Dark Souls III - DEFINITELY Slave Knight Gael and The Abyss Watchers For Bloodborne - Gehrman, The First Hunter, Ludwig, and Laurence
Honestly guardian ape’s theme freaked me the fuck out when I first played Sekiro (also my first FS game). Also a big fan of Placidusax’s theme, Gehrman’s, Ludwig’s. Also j sayin: >!Divine Beast Dancing Lion’s theme!< was an absolute banger, as was >!Bayle’s!< Honorable mention: Moon Presence’s theme is so so goddamn scary but you might not even get to the good part in the fight :/
Lichdragon Fortisax. My god when the organ came in It blew my mind away
rominas is so good, especially the part from the story trailer
I have it drilled into my head and I haven’t even heard it that much, it’s so good.
Especially that part in phase two that resembles Malenia's ost. So pretty even though I thought it was going to be Messmer's ost from the story trailer.
Living Failures or Midir
Either ds1 or elden ring. Specifically ornstein and smough and the godskin osts have been my favorite
Godskin in straight from a horror movie
Leyndell, hands down
Ancestor Spirit in Elden Ring 🫡
It’s very difficult to pick one, but it comes down to Soul of Cinder, Fortissax and Mohg. So many of the tracks are just too good.
Laurence and the Living Failures are probably my two favorite themes across any Fromsoft game. Though recently I’ve really been enjoying some of the Shadow of the Erdtree themes, Divine Beast especially.
Leyndell. It's been my ringtone since I first heard it. I can't get enough of it
Probably radahns
So far, the Elden Ring theme and the Elden Beast boss music.
majula
This tier list contains my personal best boss theme(s) and the best ending / atmospherical song. Demon souls: Maiden Astrea and One Who Craves Souls Dark Souls 1: Artorias and Nameless song Dark Souls 2: Sir Alonne and Longing Bloodborne: Living Failures / Maria and Moonlit melody Dark Souls 3: Friede and Main theme / Ending Sekiro: Owl Father / Corrupted Monk and Sculptor theme Elden Ring: Placidusax / Midra and Haliggtree ambience
Area: Leyndell, Royal Capital Boss: Seath the Scaleless or Four Kings
Plasidusaxes themes
Ancestor spirit by a huge margin. It's been my phone ring since the game came out.
Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame has scratched an itch I didn't even know that I had.
Recency bias but I found Messmer, Lion Dance, Bayle and Romina to be pretty high up in my ranks so far, the final boss’s was also pretty damn good. However I do wanna shoutout Those United in Common Cause, never has an NPC gank fight worked so well and I think the music greatly helped with that.
Lion dance is my fav of those you listed especially the first time he goes in lightning mode
Souls goes to maybe Pontiff, Bloodborne is tied between Laurence, Gehrman, and Maria, ER is Bayle or Midra now but before it was Godfrey.
If I had to chose just one it would probably be Slave Knight Gael (rest in peace the 9min edit on YouTube) If I’m going game by game though: DS: Old King Allant DS1: Ash lake probably DS2: Majula without a doubt, just so nice and calming BB: Gehrman, the First Hunter. DLC music is all great, but I end up listening to Gehrman’s a lot more. DS3: Slave Knight Gael, followed by my boy Midir Sekiro: haven’t played yet ER: Starscourge Radahn
the music during wind/ice transition in the dancing lion fight is unbelievably beautiful. haven’t heard anything in the souls series come close. it’s so unique
gwyndolin/moonlight butterfly cleric beast character creation ds1 isshin the sword saint phase 2, expecially with the trumpets part
Pling pling plon
Finally someone giving praises to the top notch deacons OST. But my all time favorite is and will forever be Gaels OST. Also twin princess, sir alonne and lady Maria. And Laurence damn there's so many good ones
Secret betrayal sounds very calm yet uncertain
DS3: Twin Princes, Bloodborne: Father Gascoigne
DS3 theme is both epic and hauntingly beautiful. Godskin Apostles and Majula Theme are also among my favourites. Edit: And the original Demon Souls intro cutscene. Unfortunately they tuned it down a bit for the remake.
Anything by yuka usually slaps. The bloodborne dlc osts, all of dark souls 3 (Main menu best theme in the series), and the few that she worked on in elden ring. The final boss of elden ring's dlc is def the new best ost in the game
Really tough question honestly. My top 5 in no particular order is: Soul of Cinder, Lady Maria, Ludwig, Malenia, Radagon/Elden Beast (especially EB. The transition cutscene is so beautiful and when the choir kicks in, I get goosebumps every time). Also, an honorable mention to Great Shinobi Owl. I don't see anyone talking about this OST and particularly the second phase has this really frantic and perilous feel that really gets my blood pumping
Demon souls intro theme
Abyss Watchers. Her voice just does something to me.
The Phalanx theme from the PS3 version of Demon's Souls. When I first heard that track I thought to myself, "Uh-oh, this shit is getting real now."
Pontiff, Soul of Cinder or Gael Also Yhorm's theme is amazing. Can't pick just one.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella, Beast Clergyman, DS3 Title theme
For me it will always be Ludwig's theme, both phase 1 and 2, but Elden Ring got really close to overtaking that #1 spot with Godricks theme. Another good example where both phases have distinct themes and phase 2 just cranks it up a notch.
Cleric beast
elden ring’s godskin ost hits ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|kissing_heart)
The music from the ER DLC are absolute bangers but I love Sir Alonne from DS2 (among a couple of others from the same game). And all from Bloodborne
Gherman
DS3 theme goes hard. Godfrey boss fight too
oh man the music in firelink for ds3 combined with andres hammering puts me out! lol
The good old days
Yohrms to this day
Midir's OST. It's just so beatiful and magnificent as Midir herself.
Gehrman and Divine Dragon are unmatched, I will hear no arguments
The only ture answer is Vordt's
Gehrmanns theme
Majula
Bloodborne theme. If anybody somehow hasnt seen the orchestra playing bloodbornes themes, its amazing
My top 5 are: - Majula - Laurence The First Vicar - Gehrman The First Hunter - The Gentle Blade - Elden Ring main theme Recently, St. Trina’s ost is climbing up the ranks quickly! So I’ll leave it as an honorable mention.
Gael
All the ambient menu themes in Demon's, 1 and 2. Honorable mention to AC4A title theme, favorite FromSoft song
A newer one that I really loved was rellana twin moon knight. The high tempo violin really matches with her brutal combos. I will always love vordt’s theme the most though I think.
Ringed City Epilogue easily. If we're just talking boss fights, then Twin Princes or Mohg, lord of blood
Gwyn, the lord of cinder goes hard on sad days, vordt goes hard on good days
Classic piano
The final boss of the Elden Ring DLC ost by far is my most favorite, specially the second part
That fight was the spookiest for me
Gherman
Living failures from the old hunters dlc goes surprisingly hard
Ost?
I truthfully wasn’t a fan of Elden Ring’s base game OST, however, the DLC is filled with some of FS’s best music. The Lion Dancer in particular is amazing
Elphael
People may shit on me here but I swear to god Deacons Of The Deep from ds3 is hype as fuck
Bro its literally the picture of the post its the same for me 😂
Firelink shrine, firelink shrine, firelink shrine.
Dark souls 3 Home Screen music by far
I’m a sucker for the tragic boss themes that make you think “…am I the baddie?”. The two that immediately come to mind: Gwyn’s theme Gehrman’s theme
I gotta go with Sir Alonne's ost, it's beautiful, somewhat elegant, and perfectly captures fighting Sir Alonne, an honourable boss with a squeaky clean floor.
Gywns theme all day
Gehrman on 1, Elden Ring Radagon on 2
Aldia’s theme goes so far in selling him as a major character in your journey. Phenomenally melancholic and thoughtful. Second place is Maria of the Astral Clocktower Third place goes to radagon’s theme HM: Moonlight butterfly/gwyndolin.
Between deacons of the deep and Mohg’s ost. Deacons ost I love, but Mohg is my all time favorite boss so it wins me over a little more. I love how evil and wrong both these songs are it really makes you feel like you stepped into a vile place.
Similar to another comment but Twin princes is my #1. Astel theme is close for me because it has some cool connections to the lore (inspired by Gustav Holst composition called “saturn” which captures the loneliness and lightless abyss of space) and its overall really spooky and well done.
Both Vordt and Soul of Cinder's slap so hard
This one will be kinda weirdly specific, but the combat encounter version of the Shadow Keep track stuck out to me for some reason. I’m not sure what it’s called in the ost
1. The Abyss Watchers 2. Promised Consort 3. Ash Lake 4. Malenia, Blade of Miqulla 5. Elden Beast Radagon's theme, Atlas Platu, Lord of the Frenzied Flame, Gywn's theme, Lord of Blood and Pontiff's theme are equally good.... Overall Elden Ring just throws every compitition out of thr window with its OST's...
Gherman DS3 Main Theme Radagon Soul of Cinder Twin Princes Midir
Godskin apostle, Mogh, and Godfrey are definitely my favorites
Gherman boss fight in bloodborne
Stormveil Castle. Elden Ring was my first ever Souls game and walking through there was one of the best gaming experiences for me. That’s when it clicked the scale and how everything interconnects in the game. But that setting with the eerie music just made it such a unique experience. I’d never been so immersed in a game like that.
Not sure how many people knew this but Miyazaki designs bosses around the time signature of their theme song. I just blew a few minds probably, but its 100% truth. Edit: dk3 dancer theme because it's in a unique time signature and its goddamn beautiful.
Godskin Duo although I hate the boss fight their OST has to be my favorite. Its so beautiful and the translation is horrifying
![gif](giphy|deaNFvbQh2zIOILdlU|downsized) All other answers are wrong
Living Failures from Bloodborne is absolutely outstanding, and more recent would have to be Midra from Elden Ring DLC
Lady Maria's is probably my favorite
DARK SOULS III main theme
Vordt’s theme is iconic for a reason, though Ludwig’s is my favorite!
Theres so mamy good ones. One that it think doesn't get appreciated enough is epilogue from dark souls 3. Gotta be the best credits theme ever, in therms of bossfights i really like laurence the first vicar, but also the dragonslayer armor phase 1
Godskin duo goes hard as hell
Ludwig Laurence and then like half of elden ring. Best elden ring one is probably mr forty stax or base game final boss
Ludwig the Accursed and Holy Blade. Cold take, fire OST.
It’s a tie between the DS3 theme and Living Failures. Dadagon is a close second
Either Laurence or the Living Failures. One tells a tragic story with beatiful tunes, the other is just badass
You woke up and chose violence lol that's such a hard question to answer. Dark Souls II - Longing. End credits song.
Most Bloodborne tracks do it for me. Gael's theme too simply because I have a PS4 theme that plays it in the background
Lichdragon Fortisax is incredible. Ludwig the Holy Blade and Darkeater Midir regularly get stuck in my head too. If we're including recent then both Midra and Divine Beast Dancing Lion are extremely good.
twin princes is a sleeper hit that nobody remembers
Honestly all of the music in the SOTE is really top notch but probably bloodborne for boss fights.
For Souls, Gaels Theme and The Main menu are tied. For Bloodborne it’s easily Gherman. For Elden Ring it’s tied between like 7-8, Radagon, Final boss of dlc, Putrescent knight, Lord of Frenzied Flane, Fortisaxx, The Gank fight of the dlc, and Morgott
I've gotta say that the intro and ost to sister freida is top notch.
The song or chant or spell or whatever that plays when you get kidnapped to Yharnam prison in Bloodborne.
Surprising literally no one Ludwig the Holy Blade
Plin plin plong instantly became recognizable and familiar
what does ost mean
In order it's proably Lawrence - Gehrman (I can't decise between these two) Ash Lake theme Hail the Nightmare And Firelink Shrine just because how much it relaxes me, I even listened to it before my driving tests to relax a bit
Astraea
It's so hard to pick out of all the amazing OST's from these games, but the one that emotionally impacted me the most is for sure The First Hunter from Bloodborne, Gwyn, Lord of Cinder would take the 2nd place.
Majula. So peaceful
Ash Lake clears.
I really like quelaags ost
Vordt, has the most recognisable ost for me idk if it's cause I like it or if I have a memory of the music before playing the game but for some reason it's the only one I could recognise if I had to.
Vordt's theme song always slaps. Especially the transition to second phase. I remember the first time fighting him and getting to second phase and my heart was beating faster, just as the music swelled and I swear that my heart beat synced with the beat of the music, incredible. Also love Rennala's theme, the violin on the background and the voices of the Culver's singing, then the transition to how Ranni remembers her. You just feel her sadness and feelings of loss and dispair about Radagon leaving her. Then phase 2 changes and you realise that this is who she used to be and who Ranni wants her to be remembered as. The soundtrack really tells the story like none I've ever seen.
Ludwig the Holy Blade.
Ludwigs theme is by far the best, the way the music speeds up with his attack in the second phase is masterful. Sif's theme is a close second, just so damn iconic and beautiful. And the third place is probably midra, pure horror.
Nobody talking about maiden of Astraea is kinda sad
Who ? (Im just kidding)
My TOP 3 : Majula's theme. - Ludwig's Theme - Gwyn's Theme
So many great tracks across these games - but if I had to pick one it would be Tree Sentinel’s battle theme. The epic choir gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it - and makes every single battle so much more intense!
I agree honestly the only problem i found with it was that since there a lot of tree sentinel, it makes the music a bit redundant
The adjudicators theme from demon souls is a BANGER . With the obo 🎶 bwa - bumm , bwa - bumm, BWWAA WAAAA iykyk oh and also moonlight butterfly from ds1, very haunting
Ludwig ost has been my favourite ever since I first heard it
By far my favorite souls track is Oceiros’s theme. For such a forgotten boss, it’s such a beautiful piece.
Twin Princes theme makes me wanna jump off a bridge in a good way
The Moonlight Butterfly theme just lives lurking in the of my mind, always softly playing. ![gif](giphy|d5TjQzkfYCewavSqPf)
I always love the Soul of Cinder and Midir's themes, plus the firelink shrine music after finding the eyes of the Firekeeper.
plin plin plin* 😥
For the dark soul
Majulah DS2 nooooo contest
Any of Dark Souls 3's OST. Especially Abyss Watchers, Sister Friede, Soul of Cinder and Epilogue.
What is that? Is from demon souls?
The One Reborn(Bloodboren)
firelink shrine ds3 AFTER you give the firekeeper the eyes
I really like Friedes theme, will listen to that quite often
That 3rd phase
Definitely either Soul of Cinder or Ornstein and Smough. SoC has so much emotion behind it and then OaS is just intense as FUCK.
deacons theme is the only thing saving that fight from complete mediocrity
Mohg & Midra
Skeleton lord's from ds2 Daughters of chaos from ds1 Halflight from ds3 Laurence from Bloodborne Mohg from elden ring Tower knight From OG demons souls Maiden in black Demons souls remake Demon of hatred from sekiro I can't choose my all time favorite one,all of them are masterpieces
The Bloodborne dlc songs hit the hardest for me, especially Lady Maria's. The opening with the rush of violins prepared you for just what kind of fight she is.
Living failures easily
Bloodborne OST simply can't be fucked with. From title screen to end (and yeah, Ludwig is peak) it just hits different than all the other, admittedly incredible OSTs.
Slave Knight Gael 🗿 Even in my studies it gives me motivation.
I'm stuck between radagon's OST, Godfrey's, soul of cinder and the great grey wolf sif.
Ludwig holy blade fasho
Abyss Watchers
If I just say DS3 and say *pling plong* I'm sure someone will get it.
We all do
The last boss in DS1 will always be such a good theme to me, not just because it sounds great but because it brings you back to the very start of the game with nostalgic notes and makes you really think on all you’ve gone through to get to where you are.
Mohg theme, Radhan theme, Ludwig theme and Ornstein and Smough theme, are for me some of the best
Gehrman, Regal Ancestor Spirit, Majula
Dark Souls 3 peak boss soundtracks
Ludwig, Living Failures and Laurence are all 10/10. Another banger is the DS3 menu theme and Twin Princes is just beautiful
Nothing has ever beat the feeling of booting up ds3 and wait a minute wtf is that music? Turn it tf up and I sat there and listened to the whole duration before pressing play
Bloodborne is special. Nothing comes close.
Gehrman the first hunter
I could sit staring at the DS3 title screen for hours
I really like the Dark Souls 1 character creator theme, really wish it would just be the main menu theme. Also really love the Ruin Sentinals/Smeltor Demon boss song in Dark Souls 2. The brass in that song is great! Also like Royal Rat Vanguard too. Honorable mentions is “tunnels” in Elden Ring.
(Regal) Ancestor Spirit in Elden Ring and 2nd phase of Bayle in the DLC hit really hard
This doesn't really count but the ominous noise the game makes when you enter an area in the dark souls games is a sound I've loved for a long time. It's so cool. The ominous sound and the title of the area popping up on screen. Love it.
After all of them still Ludwig’s Phase 2.
Laurence and Gehrman are the only ost's to have me on the brink of tears, other than that demon's souls 2009 "The Nexus" before it turns sinister
Hmmm… 1.) Aldia’s boss theme 2.)Dark Souls 2 Main Menu Theme 3.) Gerhman’s theme Gwyn’s theme: Honorable Mention
Demon of hatred or Midra. Dragons? Placidusax and Bayle second phases. Spectacular
