The thing I love about Godfrey/Houra Loux is that he showes you respect. When you're killed by him he encourages you to get stronger and when he is defeated he praises you for your strength and tells you that you are worthy of a crown. The man respects you to the very end.

He respects strength. You cleared your way all the way to the tree, i doubt he would rather fight anyone else. Especially since we can actually see grace guiding him towards us in the cutscene. He first lost his grace when his last worthy enemy fell, so it kind of implies that the player character ignites that old fire in him. Also supported by him being willing to go all out tearing Serosh from his back, something he didnt even do during his exile.

I love this song for the exact same reason I love the actual Godfrey fight in-game. Theres something just so... pure, about it. With the other fights in the game, theres always some winded dialong or flashy thing at the forefront, with your opponent either out of their mind or casually disrespecting you as scum beneath their feet. But here? Theres none of that. The cards are already down, and the end has come. Here, at the climax of the age, two warriors stand, each with a solid chance at becoming the elden lord. The battle is tense, as blades clash and the ground shakes. But more importantly, it is respectful. Godfrey recognizes your authority, and your power. And treats you as such "Thy strength... befits a crown." Well done on yet another banger song!

Absolute masterpiece this is. I love the intensity this song gives, the emotion of battle hardened pride.

Godfrey is my favorite boss in FromSoftware's catalog. Everything about him is perfect. From his presentation, to his lore, to his design, and my favorite part, his fighting style. From what I can recall, Godfrey is the only souls boss that has no gimmicks. No magic, no holy power, no lightning, or fire, or strength of the abyss. It's just him. Just his axe, his strength, and his will that opposes you. In all respects, he truly is Godfrey, The First Elden Lord. But in all respects he is also, Hoarah Loux. A Warrior

Okay. Counterpoint:Champion Gundyr. From a certain point of view, phase 1 Gael. If we will dig really deep, crown of the sunken king gank squad. And also from a certain point of view, Champion's Gravetender and Sir Alonne. The former does has a bunch of small dogs and one really big dog, but is otherwise just a sword & board guy, and the latter has the "stab someone to buff the sword" thingy, but is otherwise just a completely normal katana guy. Also, quite a few bosses from Sekiro I think, or at least their 1 phase.

@@l.o.v.e-sick5330 Those are fair points. Champion Gundyr and Sir Alonne are the only two I agree are like Godfrey. Both actually exemplify my points and actually enhance them imo. Gundyr is a failed lord. His will was not strong enough, and he was too slow to fulfill his duty. He failed to uphold what Godfrey successfully does. Alonne fought for a lord. He had no ambitions of his own. He was a warrior who was betrayed by his lack of ambition, something Godfrey (and the Elden Ring PC) clearly has.

I guess I'm too used to bosses treating their companion with more respect; a la Nameless King's hand trembling before he stabs the storm drake.

Even more unexpectedly, such typical "barbarian with axe" NPC as Godfrey became one of the most memorable characters I have ever met in any of fantasy games. So, I just say, Aviators: being my single most respected composer and one of the coolest male singing voices across the internet, you have no idea how important for me is this Godfrey anthem of yours.

This is absolutely fucking excellent guys. It's so quiet yet full of energy just waiting to be unleashed. It hits hard with each note getting ready to leap like a lion's pounce.

Godfrey was actually one of the few Elden Ring Bosses I actually respected. Most of the other ones are either incredibly arrogant, infuriatingly condescending, or both. Godfrey, on the other hand, does not give a crud who he is or who you are. He respects anyone who can fight well. Literally tells you that your strength befits a crown. I would be sad for killing him, but I know he wouldn't have wanted to go out any other way.

I'd like to see Aviators take on the Frenzied Flame ending. I am the crazy sort of idiot that thinks the Frenzied Flame ending is the best possible ending for The Lands Between... Because no other ending has an answer for the growing corruption that is Godwyn and Those That Live In Death... A corruption that even has spread to Farum Azula, a place that is out of time and space in a way. You also have the Scarlet Rot that is also spreading across the land. Burning the land to ash may just be the only cure for a world slowly rotting away from stagnant waters and cursed lands. Life tends to blossom after the flames turn the land to ash. So such a gruesome scene may yet have the spark of hope.

Very nice song

Good song, been enjoying it for a while.

Holy crap it came out, I am so excited!! Can't wait to listen to this masterpiece again!!

it's always a blessing when aviators posts a song.

Aviators and Miracle Of Sound making some of the best themed music ive ever listened to

Hello Aviators. I wanted to tell you that I really like your music. I initially found you through MLP songs. And by the way, I downloaded almost all of them ^^ (I downloaded all MLP songs. I just didn’t download music without words). In general, I want to thank you for what MLP songs were doing back then, which I consider simply masterpieces. I liked them very much. But the rest of your music is amazing too. I'm sure. I think I should search and listen more later)) I wish you all the best and success in your future work (I mean creating music). I hope you notice this...❤

I will remind all of you that godfrey was absolutely demolished in the opening, we see him stabbed with a single greatsword and serosh having fallen as well instead of slain by him. Meaning 1 sole man was able to take down both godfrey and serosh. And then hung them up so the rest of the world to see his might. This of course implies that when he got grace, he demolished said guy because he had infinite revives until he reached his end of fighting you. To prepare you for the final test of might, for fighting a god. Of course we learn that 1 on 1, he wipes the floor with elden beast. If you remove his grabs of course (he spends VERY long using the grabs) infact he can kill malenia if he has grabs that can hit her. Though malenia does have healing and rot, so you would have to edit his ai a little to avoid the scarlet explosion attack, but other than that he easy solo's her.

I can’t wait for this album to come out on Apple Music. Hopefully it will soon because I need these songs downloaded

One of my favorite Songs, it just melds so well together.

YES! I knew someone would do a Godfrey inspired song eventually. Glad it was you. Very nicely done. Godfrey is probably my favourite character in Elden ring. His axe? A Mere symbol. The Beast upon his back? Actually there to keep him in check. His crown? Warranted with strength. The battle with him is basically the final crucible for the tarnished. The first lord and his distant kinsman seeing who will take the crown. Throughout the game characters belittle you for being tarnished, but ironcally the actual Elden Lord treats you with respect. He was also the first tarnished afterall. The actual fight is also up there among the best. A classic souls brawl without weird timings or magic bullshit. A solid challenge to see how well you learned the basics and if you can keep calm under a barrage of quick attacks.
