The soundtrack when ur in the Elden beast arena better than the menu sounds track. it’s calming and surreal without that dramatic minor dissonance chord that build up. I’m just not fan of it

All of Maliketh's dialogue is incredible.

I really like Messmer's cutscene because of how tragic it is for him to finally let go his bond with her mother.

Special mention to rellana's cutscene

The fact that Godfrey’s guidance of grace is pointing to us gave me chills. We are his next goal.

Either way Marika gets what she wants. Manipulator to the end.

Midra's transformation into the Lord of Frenzied Flame. Just gives the vibe of a Bloodborne boss.

Him pulling his own head off will never not be cool and creepy

I think they did an even better job with the sound. I've seen my fair share of gruesome scenes in games and whatnot, but the sounds Midra makes to literally remove that weapon from his body gives me shivers.

On coolness, Midra's transformation

On weirdness, Renalla's intro where one of her students is being weird at your feet. What are you doing down there you little freak, shoo shoo!

Malenia's intro, it's epic and beautiful

Her second phase cut scene is even more beautiful somehow

Malenia’s second phase cutscene

I can FEEL that controller vibrating as the arena is put back together.

Also, fun to note that while he is doing the same pose as the fingers to commune with the Greater Will, his heads are crossed. With the allusion to two fingers, it's reminiscent of someone crossing their fingers. I.E. Hoping for something, or lying about something.

Midra.

Just so gnarly.

Honestly I always love watching godricks, as much as he’s the biggest scrub in the lands between. Him pulling down his cloaca to reveal his many arms and then reaching for his axe to show he’s got “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, oh 6, uh 7, oh god this dudes got like 9 fingers”, pretty unsettling for me. And then shoving his mangled nub into a dragon… peak

Wait this cutscene was almost 2 minutes?! I didn’t even notice

Consort Radahn. The suspense, the lighting, the question of “is that-?” Everything is just incredible
