Beat this boss last night, what a ride it was. I didn't expect Radical Fish to outdo themselves after the Ultimate Experience, but this fight and music certainly stepped up to the challenge.
And to think of all bosses, this one just has to be ALL of the space birds. Emilie even wondered if we'd fight them. And here we are, fighting all of them in a single boss fight.
I admit I felt a bit disappointed upon completing Sapphire Ridge and all we got to fight was the samurai boss (I suppose Shizuka is technically the boss of Sapphire Ridge). So when I learned in the DLC that the final dungeon was open I got very excited. Appropriate that it was also the longest dungeon in the game. And at the end of it all, you finally meet the final boss of Operation Trackwalker. This fight DID NOT DISAPPOINT. For me it was the toughest fight in the game. Even though Sidwell is the true final boss, he is easy by comparison. This fight tested my endurance, patience (especially with the amount of times I died on Phase 2), made me literally go back and grind for more of the end-game gear. What a great final boss. Radical Fish blew this out of the water, complimented by an incredible song that evokes so much emotion. It feels like this is the fight all your battles have built you up to. To finally win against this boss was so damn rewarding.
Crosscode, one of the only games to have 3 final bosses in the same run and have them all make sense. The final boss of the main story The final boss of the game And the final boss of the extended story.
true, you could consider that, I will admit though, that my original comment was over a year ago, and had I wrote it now I would have worded it better. I personally consider the final boss of the main story the last boss of Lea's character arc, being Gautham, or The Ultimate Experience. -The Final boss of the game meaning the final boss of the in-game mmorpg the world is set in, being D'Orbis in this case to me. -And the Final boss of the extended story, being the Last boss in the "A New Home" DLC, being Sidwell, or at least a construct using his skin and a heck of a lot of defense. Sorry if my earlier comment seemed rude. I really shouldn't try responding to comments at 5 in the morning when I've been laying in bed for an hour scrolling through videos.
G'oni represents the Hexacasts. Di'aro represents the Cuadroguards. Di'orbis represents the Spheromancers. E'nel represents the Tribladers. K'win represents the Pentafists. I realized that G'oni has the main weapon from the Hexacasts, a Deck of Cards. E'nel has a Sword, the main Weapon of Tribladers. and K'win uses her fists just like the Pentafists. But i think that Di'aro has a Hammer to demonstrate the Brute Force of the Cuadroguards.
Gotta reread that lore (about the Ancients) once more, before I complete the main game. When I eventually get this far, I shall thoroughly savour this battle.
Their most powerful attacks generally reflect their associated shapes. G'oni boxes you in a hexagonal cage Di'aro makes a + sign of icicles which spawn an additional column and row for a rectangular box E'nel thrusts at an angle and then spawns an additional horizontal line of flame before completing the triangle with another line on the opposite diagonal as the initial attack I don't have anything for K'win sadly and there are a few circular attacks between phases that could be associated with Di'orbis.
It's kind of weird that the icy guy who represents the high defense quadroguards is easily the weakest one of them. He literally dies in one flame thrust
@@UninterestingPerson Heat is associated with your ATK stat, which means you've probably gone beyond that 999 stat number to break through the defense (Also all the gods have the same stats so that makes it funnier)
It's a bit strange that the player classes sometimes have different colours than the gods they represent. Spheromancers: Grey *Tribladers: Green* Quadroguards: Blue *Pentafists: Orange* *Hexacasts: Purple*
I was afraid first when I heard that Deniz was not the composer for the DLC, but... After hearing all of your tracks in game, what I have to say is : good job, seriously. It's simply excellent, and fits really well the game, and especially this music, it fits so much the fight, it has this epic vibe in it. I hope to see you again composing music for other games :).
Seconded unfortunately I'm not familiar with much else of their work one step from Eden is a amazing soundtrack and has an unlockable Lea skin for saffron
A cool note for those talking about how hard this fight is: During the last two phases, you can almost break one of the gods before they even spawn if your reaction time is quick enough. The one immediately to D'orbis's left will always spawn first, so you can watch for it, swap to the opposing element, and smash it while the others spawn. You can do this somewhat during the first two phases, but it is much harder. One attempt, I even managed to break and kill one before the phase started. Also, it's very possible I had a different experience than others with my fight. A full focus build led to me always having enough sp to oneshot each of the lesser guys with a level three art as soon as they broke (except the electric one... My damage with wave is kinda trash except for wave motion gun, and they teleport out before you reach the damage of that, so I always just avoided targeting them).
I was doing something similiar, but for me usually level 2 or a bunch of level 3 Arts is enough. I have lots of Attack and Focus, so a single level 2 Ranged Shock Art is enough to both break and one-shot G'oni (The Hexagon-Wave guy)
All I have to say is wow, this was such a great theme to compliment an amazing final boss fight (not counting of course the boss you fight in the final dungeon afterwards, plus it's way easier). This fight tests your endurance, patience and your knowledge of your circuits. Very fitting, especially after all the trials you as the player have experienced. The stage for this is gorgeous and although I died a bucket load, I persisted and eventually won. This is the HARDEST fight in the game (outside of the Superboss), as it should be and the music assures you of this. It makes you feel like this is the last trial and last fight and it's amazing.
this boss was, indeed, the hardest for me to face out of every single other boss. Took me about 5 hours total and probably over 100 attempts to beat it, and man was it worth it. Amazing song as well
I have been listening your One Step from Eden soundtrack after playing it for a few month now and i can't get it out of my head, so knowing that you made the soundtrack for dlc to one of my favourite games is making me really hyped up! Keep up the good work!
just finished the WHOLE game yesterday, but damn that ost had me one my knees i had to pause the game to listened to the whole thing. perfect build up that got me in the fight everytime i retry, you can feel Crosscode spirit in this. excellent work that might be the best fighting theme of the game for me
I went 80 hours or so playing this game, and only during this boss did I have to force myself to realize I need to switch to an attacker's element to have the most defense against it.
This came up on autoplay after I was listening to some One Step From Eden. It’s got that same feel to it. Some parts even remind me of Violette or Saffron. Maybe I’ll check out the game just because of this.
I just finished the DLC yesterday, I loved your work on it, everything fit perfectly into the game and gave off just the right feeling. Your and Deniz' music work so well together its amazing.
I didn't realise that you were also behind OSfE soundtrack until now. Hats off to you, and thank you very much for contributing your effort to the greatest game in my life.
That frigging final boss was what led MOST of my consumables to be, well, consumed. These elemental gods(which seem to represent CrossWorlds' classes, I think?) are pretty cool tho.
You are correct, if you ever entered one of the guild halls near where your guild house is, there is a heap of lore you can look at regarding each class and what deity represents them. The main deity represents Shizuka/you in terms of your class.
This boss NEEDS preperation, I learned that on my 2nd attempt at playing the game, my first attempt ended from failing to blow up fleazers while having rookie armor
Today i fought against the Ancients, and i keep dying. But i still try to do my best to hear this song because it hypes me a lot, especially when the Ancients are in _"Ghost Mode"_, they move like in the rythm of the song.
Gah this boss!! Still trying my best here... Despite having a very distinct ‘texture’ from Deniz’s work, it nonetheless fits the tone of Crosscode superbly. Fantastic work here.
It's a pretty unfaire boss, you must exploite your boost up attaks at the right time to place decent amount of damage to the boss and then keep up the elemental shift. The rest is a game of endurance and how long can you keep dodging/blocking incoming attacks before countering right after it. You don't get much time to do so.
@@Heliohecho In hindsight, its not that unfair unless you care about beating Emilie with the race. You can just port out, grab some ascended gear and 1 shot each type with the relevant element, using the quick menu to pause and select your element accordingly.
Loved your work on One Step From Eden and then when I read that Deniz isn't working on the OST for the DLC due to real life conflicts (know that feeling...) I see your name and go "huh... that sounds familiar.. oh." Really hope your work gets around more! None of the music sounds out of place which is a rather difficult feat following someone else.
What an amazing experience this game and the dlc offered me. After i finished the dlc, there was just something that kept making me beg for more about this game. Crosscode is seriously one of the best games i have played
You have captured the essence of what made Crosscode music, well, Crosscode, and that is not an easy feat. (I think) The music also sounds fantastic! Take this encouragment and keep making great music that invokes distubing amounts of pleasure in its listeners!
Just finished this boss last night. It was so good but man was it hard. And of course the music was amazing as well. There’s a reason I’m listening to it here in the first place.
Should've paid more attention to the intro of this track, which starts with a bit of "Mysterious Place" before unfolding into the madness that is the chance to face the Ancients. I can't believe I didn't connect the two, initially.
Easily in my top 5 bosses ive ever fought. Di'orbis has everything that a final boss should have. complex attack patterns, attack combos that catch you off guard. and .. and this slapper of a track driving you to finish this one last trial. this boss always gives me goosebumps. we can be friends if you've come to this part of youtube
Oh man, this boss was insane. It's the first time a boss has had me completely stuck since when I was very young and couldn't beat a mario game on my own. It took a good week or two of occasional attempts to beat because I was so dead set on not using the assist mode to make it easier. The moment I finally won was something truly magical
**sighs...** Sometimes, music this good qualifies as a spoiler in its own right. Looked up the battle which uses this music, and I feel like I need to get that far before I can listen to it again. Still haven't finished the main game yet, but if this is what the DLC has, I can't wait to get the first half of the game done with, so I can test my skills. **still can't stop listening to it, though...**
Sigh... I can't tell if this boss is easy or hard... apparently, my character is built up to be a Glass Cannon right now somehow, LOL. :p As in like, high attack but low defense... (I think I just got the standard Advanced Gear that levels up with you, that's it. o.O I'm like Level 76 too... I think I should have good skills as well, sigh...). Although it's definitely possible for me to die before this such as when all 4 gods start attacking me halfway through, dodging all those black lasers after the 4 elemental attack and that holy laser attack thing is such a pain, sigh... That's the part I've been dying at the most... :( I was hoping that once I finally dodged them all and barely lived, that would be the end of the battle somehow... it freaking wasn't, ugh. >_< Sigh... anyways, I have to say, despite how mind numbingly frustrating this game can be at times, it's still pretty special to me overall... I didn't expect to get so attached to the game's characters and the story, and the music helps a lot with that too. :O Especially with the DLC, the characters feel almost alive as if their real at times... Sigh... I wish I could have a fun little adventure all the time like these characters as well as have friends like that, sigh. :( Lea is so adorable, I just want to hug her.

what was the final boss of the main story the monkey and whale one?
...this one, I was talking about The ultimate experience, this boss, and that one triple character attack buff boss at the very, very end
@@ARandomNope you could also consider the vagabond dojo boss to be the main story final boss
true, you could consider that, I will admit though, that my original comment was over a year ago, and had I wrote it now I would have worded it better.

Incredibly difficult final boss, but also easily the best in the game
G'oni represents the Hexacasts.
Di'aro represents the Cuadroguards.
Di'orbis represents the Spheromancers.
E'nel represents the Tribladers.
K'win represents the Pentafists.
I realized that G'oni has the main weapon from the Hexacasts, a Deck of Cards.

Before the DLC, the longest track in CrossCode was the final boss theme at 5:10. You just _had_ to one-up that by nearly 2 whole minutes!
That theme doesn't loop though, so is actually significantly longer than this.
Lovin the music! Despite the other music from crosscode is made by Deniz, it still sounds like CrossCode!
Oh yea also this song reminds me a lot of phantasy star online 2 music tbh
@@artemis2898 Awesome, so did Akbuluts music too!

Parry goes binggggg
this song is addicting to listen to.
The only two elements that you need in order to stay alive are Cold for guarding and Wave for healing.
Wave for spamming decoys, you mean :P
And cold for breaking E'nel.
Wave for guarding is better.
Just get the "healing-guard" and you can resist and heal at the same time
I was actually getting beaten down pretty badly until I realized I was taking next to no damage while guarding in Cold mode.
....next time just email me the message instead bro.
You cracked me up, ngl
