I play ToB with tears in my eyes. I knew, that all those houres spend playing the most epic saga in history of cRPG games, are about to be over. I saw all these ruins, and my loyal friends trying to fight with the evil of children of Bhaal with their last breath. And at the end... When I destroyed the Throne I read the epilogues of my team and... I cryied. NEVER in my life I felt so connected to the story and characters. IMO Baldurs Gate Saga is for games what Lord of the Ring is for books
I was 17 when I finished ToB for the first time over the course of two weeks, during summer break. This was 2001, ofc. I relate to what you're saying. I remember feeling a deep melancholy over finishing the saga, which lingered for weeks afterward. I remember the strange mixture of sorrow and happiness I felt while reading the epilogues. No item of media had ever affected me that way before.
@@KreatoR459 BG3 is on the novel basis so most of the companions are dead or missing. To sum it up, in the end its a completely different game with different story.
Coming back from the Marching Mountains and discovering you're too late to save Saradush, then fighting through a huge army to get to Yaga Shura with this music blasting is pretty much the most awesome thing in the entire BG series.
Sarevok"Fear my unholy wrath!" Jaheria:"Nature take the life she gave!" Imoen:"I'll show you a good fight!" Haer'dalis:"Our deeds will be sung through the ages!" Aerie:"This is gonna hurt you a LOT more than me!"
" *For the Doomguard I strike a blow!* " " *Death comes for you. Feel its icy breath!* " " *Nature take the life she gave!* " " *By Torm, I shall strike you down!* "
In my party there were: *Beware! Your knees are mine!* *Feel my unholy wrath!* *Lil alurl! For Shar!* *For right and honor!* *Let's see what yer guts be lookin like* God I love this game.
'Let's do this, quick and painful!' 'Feel my unholy wrath!' 'For the Order!' 'Lil alurl! For Shar!' 'Let's see what yer guts be lookin like!' 'I command pure chaos!'
Everytime I hear this music I just want roll a new character and play one more time. These characters, this story, this music... these EPIC battles... it's worth spending another hundred hours, even though you know perfectly what's coming, every time.
Yaga shura's battle could've definately have been tougher. But the sheer epicness of battling an entire ARMY while listening to this... I lack words to describe how insanely powerful feelings that creates for me.
Utterly epic. Made me feel like I was fighting gods, and it was especially awesome because the battls themselves were so intense and difficult. Downright thrilling!
In the game, yes its fulfilled, but in the novel its not. Novel author keept the status quo and killed most of MC companions, and this novel is the basis for BG3.
@@rohenthar8449 luckily they kept the details vaguely enough, but canon Bhaalspawn refused godhood, but to shake things up dead gods were all brought back anyway. Kinda makes these adventures a little pointless, but well the show must go on.
@@masterexploder9668 No, he didn't. He refused the throne, but kept all his Bahaal powers, so canonically, the prophecy/destiny was never fulfilled until the next book.... But I agree, show must go on, unfortunately.
This song makes me remember the moment when CharName and his groups runs into the entire army of Yaga-shura and not only survives, but makes a bloody mess out of them. Being surrounded and having not much time to win made that battle totally epic.
Somewhere in this comment section years ago I wrote as a kid about how fighting Sendai was so easy since the plan I had worked. Can't remember which account. I got back into playing BG2 again this year and when I got to Sendai playing on core rules-- didn't want it too easy, didn't want to lose members permanently, and didn't want to have the hassle of installing mods-- and I can definitely say with this music playing after 10 or so years of not playing BG2 the stress felt real. I don't know what younger me did but it didn't work this time around. Two weapon style with Crom Faeyr and upgraded Runehammer felt so fuckin' OP on my Ranger, but only at the 10th attempt lol
Draconos Insertnamehere Really? That fight was super epic and tough for me! Definitely not anticlimactic whatsoever, in fact every single fight in the expansion felt like it belonged in a movie, it was so amazing and drawn out. Best RPG ever made. Watcher's Keep is by far the greatest dungeon crawl in any game.
Oh, yes, you're friggin' right. The party fighting their way through waves of soldiers and mercenaries, Yaga-Shura charging from the end of the camp...and all this accompanied by this epic music. I almost chewed off my tongue playing this encounter for the first time!
I Would LOVE for Baldur's gate 1 and 2 to be remade and brought up to date with graphics and also have the world, features and game play mechanics expanded even further. Can you imagine anything more epic? I also imagine it would be a huge hit.
@kael6956 It accurately captures the epic feel of a battle between two of the last remaining Bhaalspawn, who are at that point probably the strongest creatures on that particular plane of existence. Shit, even Elminster says he wouldn't want to try taking you on.
Fond memories: returning to find Saradush sacked with this music playing, then going on a roaring rampage of revenge that left half Yaga Shura's army decimated before I killed him. Being in the epic levels can be very satisfying.
Inon Zur is a video game composer for many, many new and old video games. Michael Hoenig is a video game composer who did the original Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 soundtracks. He didn't do Throne of Bhaal, which is where this is from.
This is music showing you that you are fighting a battle which will influence history! (one of the reasons, I always summoned as much creatures as I could before those epic battles...it felt even more epic when I could attack not only accompanied by my party members but also by "lesser minions" who obeyed me^^)
@KylerWyler Most likely because this build was one of the latest I used, and by that time I did all quite quickly, so the only banter able to crash my party was Korgan/Aerie (and those will be able to stay together in ToB, since Aerie stopped being a pushover) since they have so little conversations to the point of rupture. Really, I'm not really sure, but also Edwina's quest delays quite a bit the moment they fight each other.
You should've tried the Ascension mod for Throne of Bhaal by David Gaider (Bioware Senior Designer). It's his vision of what Throne of Bhaal should've been. All boss fights are much tougher. For example you fight several dragons & wyvern type enemies when fighting Abazigal instead of just him with a few salamanders. Also Imoen gains in power throughout ToB (Due to her being a Bhaalspawn). She gains a +1 to all of her stats. She also turns into the slayer just as you did in SoA. Much better IMHO.
you sir have perfect taste in classes, they match my own. Monk is the only melee I ever touched, did not need weapons, like a magic user, his power was his own, and did not need metal sticks to fuel his POWER !!!!
Many of the game designers in Black Isle went over to Obsidian which was formed shortly after its demise. They are behind such titles as Star Wars Kotor 2 and Never Winter Nights: Mask of the betrayer.
Nothing like tearing a hole in the fabric of reality with my lone level 50 sorcerer, listening to this music and with an evil grin watch as all enemies around me die horribly.
The Best Game series of ALL TIME!!!! Dragon Age, Mass Effect etc. are good... But BG is A W E S O M E!!!! It's Lord of the Rings among role playing games
I seriously killed Firkraag just with my main character and let the rest of my group wait at the stairs for me. I was so proud of my achievement ;) ....
The moment you hear this for the first time, you're about to fight your way into the middle of a seiging army with just your adventuring party, to kill a giant who's also the son of a god. This is where it dawns on you that you're now an epic level character in a fitting campaign. Or in my case, you were marching in there solo with your Kensai Mage.
Berserker/mage was one that I liked for TOB. I'd play him as a Berserker up to about level 20 and the Bladesinger/Asylferund chain mail, then dual to mage just in time to get all those fat XP bonuses you get at the end of SOA. There's something therapeutic about firing off Time Stop and Improved Alacrity (with the Robe of Vecna) then Improved Haste, ADHW, Comet, Mordey's Sword, Pierce Shield, Breach, Hopelessness, Berserk, and then when the time stop ends, start hacking!
@Restlessspirit4 Ilasera was originally meant to be a serious challenge but the developers changed their mind because she was the first fight of the game. They have a mod out there where one of the developers remade her back to what she is supposed to be.
mmm memories...on my Kensai/Mage i ate solo dragons, liches, bosses on breakfast xD only i had problem with Demogorgon but nothing is impossible with my Vorpal Axe of the Unyielding and Flail of Ages +5 ;]
@Restlessspirit4 she was designed to be easy for new players. in the ascension mod it restores her original difficulty and she is a ranger that can use undetectable invisibility at will and has some new friends.
I preferred a more tank party with a multiclass mu or cleric...the memories indeed. the chaos was indeed great. thank goodness for those super healing potions! ;-)
To be honest I found the D&D mechanics of the game a little dull, but I only realised that after playing Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights. It was the story, and the involvement of the player with the world, giving him (me) an origin, a history, making him feel important, not to mention the characters and the depth of interaction you had with other party members, that kept me coming back to Baldurs Gate. I hope Dragon Age: Origins can come close. Even if it is only close, it'll still be great.
@physicsbugga Real buff was back in the days when the Wild Mage exploit still worked. Trigger three Nahal's Reckless Dweomers simultanously and there you go, unlimited spell uses for every spell in your spellbook, memorized or not. That's when being a mage felt as powerful as it is always described. Unfortunately got patched along with the "x seems busy", so playing unpatched is annoying, too.
The music of Shaka, when the walls actually fell. ;P Great music. Good ol' days. I did not play that far as there was so much to do in the game. I recall good ol' times of a single wolf shredding my entire party xD. Dem noobie days
If you have a thief who is attacking, they can also turn on detection while fighting. With high detect illusions, it's mighty useful against certain foes.
haha dang dude that is some serious shit, a combo i had yet to contemplate! i still am satisfied with Assassin equipped with Staff of the ram, gets X7 power, most attacks do about 125-150 damage, criticals kill anything in one hit, about 250-300 damage, plus if you coat your weapons with poison, they really have no chance to run and hide/heal themselves
it shouldnt be a problem if you have beaten demogorgon, the key to beating amelysan is swarming her with fighters so she cant really attack back. make them use whirlwind, she will fall in about 7 seconds each battle. there is a bug however sometimes, if you attack her too persistently, she actually cannot admit defeat, and since she can't die, she will keep attacking you, so lay off after a while when she is in the Near death range...
agreed, but maybe this guy is like me... i have played the game for a long time, i put it away for a few years, brought it back, put it away, brought it back again, and now i am pretty much a master, so its actually fun to try something new, like using a solo mage/sorcerer! its actually great dominating with one character, make u feel like irenicus lol
yeah the demilich. it was the only enemy i choose to use my monsterous bhaalspawn form even with my neutral character, because in this form ur imun to instantdeath and be-caged-100miles-under-the surface-spells. It still took a while to take him down with 2dmg per hit attacks though.
Haha I loved having dimension door from BG1, thought it would teleport me places, didn't know when I first used it that it fucking sent people to nowhere lol.
My setup was typically: Aerie (Mage/Cleric) Jaheira (Druid/Fighter) Minsc (Ranger) Sarevok (Fighter) Imoen (Mage/Thief) PC (Half-Orc Barbarian) Never once had issues with this setup. Sarevok usually gets swords, Minsc gets halberds (Ravager +6), Jaheira gets a sling, Aerie gets a sling, and Imoen gets a short bow or throwing dagger. Jaheira can double as a melee fighter with a good club or scimitar. Barbarian PC usually dual wields flails/crom faeyr. Had no issues beating Ascension at all.
I play ToB with tears in my eyes. I knew, that all those houres spend playing the most epic saga in history of cRPG games, are about to be over.

Bg3 will be announced tomorrow!
I was the same, Keldorn dying hit me hard
I was 17 when I finished ToB for the first time over the course of two weeks, during summer break. This was 2001, ofc.
I relate to what you're saying. I remember feeling a deep melancholy over finishing the saga, which lingered for weeks afterward. I remember the strange mixture of sorrow and happiness I felt while reading the epilogues. No item of media had ever affected me that way before.

There's a huge amount of great battle themes in thousands of different video games.
But this here is one of the best in my opinion.
Outstanding saga, with a truly epic final. And finally the hero's destiny is fulfilled.
Take that final boss.
In the game, yes its fulfilled, but in the novel its not. Novel author keept the status quo and killed most of MC companions, and this novel is the basis for BG3.

One of my all time favourite pieces of video game music. Epic battle theme from a truly epic game.
This song still fires me up, after all those years...
.. in our hearts :-) games , stories , characters and music i wont forget.

Same

Bhaal is ready to play
90 days PURAGTORY 2023 the queen Elizabeth used to handle it lets see who she handled bhaal

There can be only one!
Epic
Praise Bhaal! I've been searching for this song for ages!
Best battle music in the history of cRPG.
If you want an epic battle, you need an epic piece of music. And Baldur's Gate II - Throne of Bhaal had several very epic battles ;)
The battle with Sendai was really adrenalin thing, especially 'cause music. :-)
I struggled the most on the Sendai fight
I Would LOVE for Baldur's gate 1 and 2 to be remade and brought up to date with graphics and also have the world, features and game play mechanics expanded even further. Can you imagine anything more epic? I also imagine it would be a huge hit.
@flipdrumkip Hell yea its the best! That quote said by Yaga-Shura's deep voice totaly matches the theme of this song while its playing!
The coolest shit ever in bg history is "u point i punch" the way he says it in bg2 is fuckin beast :DD
memories... this is indeed epic well orchestrated classical music whoever did it whether it was a computer program or the in a auditorium its epic
This fucking epic. I could never stop listing to this. The best battle theme of all time.
Nice dude, thats good to note! my personal fav (besides the all powerful sorcerer) is the monk
This music gives me shivers. that's how awsome it is.
Tottaly.
This music (and the game of course) is awesome.

The mod in question is called "Ascension". It's so popular that simply googling 'ascension baldur's gate ii' will be enough to find it.
This music is super epic. I can just imagine it in a movie of Baldur's Gate.
"What? No! This cannot be! I... I am wounded!"

this is one nice Epic Game
Blows any other ost or west RPG apart
Inon Zur composed this. Did a great job with it, but he's no Michael Hoenig.
my fav battle music!

This game is seriously underated...
I removed summon limits and marched right into Abazighal with an army of buffed up planetars. Was epic.
Ascension final battle o.O epic!
Ahhhh the memories.......-sigh-
MOTB is Mask of the Betrayer, an expansion to NWN 2, SOZ is Storm of Zehir, also an expansion to NWN 2.

I always thought it would be much more epic with the Conan soundtrack peppered in with the bioware pieces

Respect!
damn right it's the best,lol it sends shivers thru my spine
This music is epic defined.
Let's see what yer guts be lookin' like!
I preferred a more tank party with a multiclass mu or cleric...the memories indeed. the chaos was indeed great. thank goodness for those super healing potions!

To be honest I found the D&D mechanics of the game a little dull, but I only realised that after playing Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights. It was the story, and the involvement of the player with the world, giving him (me) an origin, a history, making him feel important, not to mention the characters and the depth of interaction you had with other party members, that kept me coming back to Baldurs Gate. I hope Dragon Age: Origins can come close. Even if it is only close, it'll still be great.
that whole thing was plain epic, but yes, ending it on an invincible fire giant would have been awesome.
@physicsbugga Real buff was back in the days when the Wild Mage exploit still worked. Trigger three Nahal's Reckless Dweomers simultanously and there you go, unlimited spell uses for every spell in your spellbook, memorized or not. That's when being a mage felt as powerful as it is always described. Unfortunately got patched along with the "x seems busy", so playing unpatched is annoying, too.
Oho, this brings back memories... now if only I could find the music for the fight against Irenicus in Hell/Demogorgon...
The music of Shaka, when the walls actually fell. ;P
Great music. Good ol' days.
I did not play that far as there was so much to do in the game. I recall good ol' times of a single wolf shredding my entire party xD. Dem noobie days
the final battle theme with amelissan was even more epic imo.
The best battle music in Baldur's Gate II
If you have a thief who is attacking, they can also turn on detection while fighting. With high detect illusions, it's mighty useful against certain foes.
I'm waiting... please :)

I reckon they should make a movie out of Baldur's Gate... who's with me!!
The remnant of Black isle is now BioWare and Wizards of the Coast.
Haha I loved having dimension door from BG1, thought it would teleport me places, didn't know when I first used it that it fucking sent people to nowhere lol.
My setup was typically:
Aerie (Mage/Cleric)
Jaheira (Druid/Fighter)
Minsc (Ranger)
Sarevok (Fighter)
Imoen (Mage/Thief)
PC (Half-Orc Barbarian)
Never once had issues with this setup. Sarevok usually gets swords, Minsc gets halberds (Ravager +6), Jaheira gets a sling, Aerie gets a sling, and Imoen gets a short bow or throwing dagger. Jaheira can double as a melee fighter with a good club or scimitar. Barbarian PC usually dual wields flails/crom faeyr.
Had no issues beating Ascension at all.
