The best level in the game, by a longshot. You know it is original Hitman when things get dark and grim. I think Hitman 3 needs to have even darker levels.
I really like the brighter tone and dry wit of the new games. Darkness has its place, but if it was all grim and miserable all the time it would be grating. I think the newer games hit a perfect mix of tones across their levels.
@@joeywild2011 Yeas big levels to have fun with but they also tried to do shortcut work of doing the same old 'British guy and American guy' accents for NPCs from any country like they did in Hitman 2016'
It's really hard to pick which level has my favorite music in the game--Nielsen did a spectacular job through and through--but maybe it's the Isle of Sgàil that takes the cake. The smooth intro from the Introduction theme to the At The Gates theme eases you into the level's gloomy atmosphere without you even noticing it. The recapitulation of the Mission Accomplished theme--which I like to refer to as the ICA leitmotif--along with the castle looming in the distance gives you a strong feeling of finality. This is what the entire game has built up to. You're at the last mile now. It's almost as if the familiar ICA leitmotif, juxtapositioned with the apprehensive Isle of Sgàil strings, is encouraging you to give it your all in the home stretch. The music of the castle--both the upper and lower levels--sounds dark, sinister, and wicked. The society itself could probably described as such; the moody castle themes are fitting for the Ark Society, which literally runs the world from the shadows. They turn the tides as they wish, even though they are just a drop in the ocean. I like to think that the chanting is an interpretation of the Ark Society's pride; they're all confident that they're the best the world has to offer since they essentially hold all of its power. As such, it may not be a stretch to say they might think of themselves as gods. Gregorian chanting is used in church music, and the word "sanctus" appears very frequently in the chanting; "sanctus" means "holy." But that's just what I think. The Confronting the Constant theme captures the tension of leading the Constant to the exit very well. The instruments--or lack thereof, save for the heartbeat and the trembling strings in the background--makes my shoulders tense up when I hear it in game. You've got the Constant--the key to dismantling Providence--as your hostage. You're leading him past crowds of unknowing people; he could easily run for help, compromising the entire plan to rid him of all his power, except he can't. One of the world's most powerful men is at your mercy, and you can't afford to fail now. And the reward for your hard work? The glorious Exfiltration theme. When I hear Sgàil's variation of the Mission Accomplished theme, I imagine Ark members in the dungeon cells, chanting and banging on the cell bars. That combined with the violins makes it feel kind of angelic; it's like a heavenly choir has descended to sing your praises. TL;DR, the Isle of Sgàil has some real bangers. Its soundtrack being used in the 7DS Lust level is the only reason it's my favorite lol
My personal fav would be this one or whittleton creek, I can't really decide I agree, reminds me of Kyd and blood money, some people wanted Kyd and no one else to do the soundtrack, but I'd say Nielsen's work is pretty sufficient
@@Ryan-wg3ej At least the Hitman 2 composer stayed true to Jesper Kyd's work and tried to give the gamers the same ambient environment that Hitman games before Absolution had.
I wish Isle of Sgail was more creepy, something like a phantom of the opera scenario, it would’ve been so awesome, maybe complete some challenges with a ghost outfit... they missed out
Serious Bloodborne vibes in that choir, loving it. Just as I was talking Bloodborne with my friend, who is playing for the first time. I told him about the music that he will hear at the Church. Then this plays for me in Hitman 2.
Upper Castle is my favourite track in the game for just running around as 47 mischievously plotting my next move. It's tense like a masterful game of chess. Particularly 22:30 onwards. Also 24:39
I love this theme In particular because is has similarities to Jesper Kyd's score he did previous for the series. its almost like a tribute to the man. lets be honest a large part that made the Hitman games what they were was due to the magnificent music! hats off to Niels Bye Nielsen, good job!
Using specific parts of this for a DND setting, gonna timestamp em for myself here :) Sinister intro w choir and strings: 0:00 Ambient Gothic Choir: 3:23 Enter Strings: 5:53 Pursuit, Dancing Violin: 8:05 Twisted Intrigue, Heavy Cello: 19:53 Twisted Intrigue Pretty Pace: 22:30 Heavy Cello Shoe Falls: 24:42 Ominous Victory: 30:20
Thank you so very much for these uploads!!!! its such a bummer that IOI havent released an album yet...(or have they i havent searched pass itunes) I would totally buy it! but you did an awesome job! thank you!
i wish ioi was backed by a publisher like sony or something. so they would be given the time and money to do exactly wht they wanted with the game. hitman is already so great but imagine if the levels were more crazy. more budget for the soundtrack and for cutscenes. sony style cinematics and cutscenes plus hitman gameplay and level design would make for an amazing hitman game.
Kyd had a penchant for choir and epic music, he's mastered it. This track is good, and I love the choir in it, but it's like them trying to do the style that the previous composer has already mastered for the series (Tracks like "Apocalypse" and the Silent Assassin main theme, etc); just makes me think what could have been.
I could see a place like the Isle of Sgail in other games like Dishonored or Thief. If, or when, I get this game then this will be the level I'll be looking forward to the most.
Honestly, with this mission, if the target's dead bodies are found and it was clear that it was an assassination then it'd be a reminder to all of them that they aren't untouchable, even on this far off island.
@@Techhunter_Talon The Constant went missing and the 2 people entrusted with his contingency are dead. Nobody is going to say it was an accident. Building on their paranoia, the higher Arkians are now scared shitless.
Elite guards and founders council memmbers like Jebediah Block know about lobbying etc. Even Jebediah ask xonstant who he is and he gets answer : friend of ark society. So ark society maybe existing as a place where providence recruit members but even highest tier ark society like founders dont have clearance to learn about providence. Architects design inventions like shelters but what council decides is off limits to them. Arkians( guys in pink) are member of ark society. Rest simply knows that ark society exist and guys in regular suits arent members of arc society. They are only on island to buy architects inventions.
Isle of Sgail has cool combat music, but i really got tired of hearing it for every other level afterwards. Wheres the stuff like the Colorado combat music? Or the Sapienza one?
Mission briefing music never is included in my mixes as it is part of the briefing video itself and would have to be isolated (I don't know where to find the readable file anyway). However it usually is a remix or different take on one of the themes playing in the level, for example Janus' house theme in Whittleton Creek. So you can still listen to something close enough here.
The ambiance in this mission was amazing. But a little bit too clean. Those hitman miss some "dirt" we had in the previous hitman (the butcher house for instance). Like the vilains aren't that vilains.

Salem hi
U get a place in heaven 😅
Good job
Lower castle music gets you so immersed into the mission and map.
22:30
This music really makes it feel like you're in a boss battle against the isle, itself. The level design is amazing here.
That's what i tell my friends who haven't played this game yet , the lore , level design , and soundtrack will take you where "no" game has yet .
Not much can beat Jesper Kyd's run, but 24:38 comes really damn close. Like damn, that's good
Yeah getting hitman 2 silent assassin vibes.
Best map of Hitman 2!! I love isle of Sgàil.
Me too
I prefer Whittleton Creek.
@@storba3860 I prefire isle of sgàil.

Welp I think you got pleased Hitman 3 was the darkest in the series
Thats why the old hm2 was great.
Hawks bay is the best level the vibe alone get you interested
I like how we go from a quiet, peaceful urban setting to a grim, gothic looking castle in the middle of the ocean
22:30 is a masterpiece
Facts my nigga
sounds like s**t
Enjoy that cello
I really liked how the chorus continued to be implemented for the signature 'Extraction' theme:
30:20
They did the same for all the levels in Hitman 2 and this makes each level's soundtrack have a different taste.
@@rayunited2010foryou Yeah it’s one of my favourite things about the soundtrack
@@joeywild2011 Absolutely! Sadly, Hitman 3 had that missing.
@@rayunited2010foryou Yeah I was disappointed about that. At least Hitman 3 had really cool levels

I think this and the bank have a really good soundtrack. Also like the club music in Berlin

I agree, reminds me of Kyd and blood money, some people wanted Kyd and no one else to do the soundtrack, but I'd say Nielsen's work is pretty sufficient
Yo Boi Robby the whole lot apart from Miami were shit
Nah I think the soundtracks for each location fit very well, but it's just your opinion, have a nice day
@@Ryan-wg3ej At least the Hitman 2 composer stayed true to Jesper Kyd's work and tried to give the gamers the same ambient environment that Hitman games before Absolution had.
Some people keep complaining.
@@rayunited2010foryou Especially the use of the Gregorian chants. First heard in Hitman 2 the one Jesper did
Holy fuck! 30:20 the extraction music in this is just amazing!
Sounds like Uncharted
Batman Arkham Asylum vibes 🦇
Sounds like a setting in the Steven Sommers's 'Van Helsing' movie
I'm here for dat choir 4:28
Same my dude
Definitely reminds me of the original Hitman 2
I wish Isle of Sgail was more creepy, something like a phantom of the opera scenario, it would’ve been so awesome, maybe complete some challenges with a ghost outfit... they missed out

I felt i got sent back in time with this soundtrack. Just exploring the cellars with this going on, so ominous.
24:42 that tensionnn
When Spiderman's senses tingle in spiderman 2 ps2 The OG
The Lower Castle theme is amazing
This along with Miami are my favourite maps and soundtracks. Whittleton Creek is pretty relaxing though.
I'm in love with the ost of this mission. It's so gooooood.
This soundtrack and environment of this game level give me the vibes of the film 'Van Helsing'.
Absolutely stunning!
@@omarsheriff51 No, because of the gothic ambience and that background chanting, especially at 8:06
Upper Castle is my favourite track in the game for just running around as 47 mischievously plotting my next move. It's tense like a masterful game of chess. Particularly 22:30 onwards.
Also 24:39
the butler did it.
My favourite part

Given the premise of this location, I'm surprised I haven't seen Elon Musk appearing on the Isle of Sgail
I love the atmosphere and background music on this map.
Lower Castle gives you goosebumps.
Holy shit, they really went all in for this location soundtrack!
Extraction is brilliant
The choir makes it so epic
your famous now and i agree
This is definitely my favorite map out of the entire trilogy. The best run you can do is "Blood Money" and "Case Closed"
jesper kyd, have you come back from the heavens to bless us with this music?
Using specific parts of this for a DND setting, gonna timestamp em for myself here :)

Thank you so very much for these uploads!!!! its such a bummer that IOI havent released an album yet...(or have they i havent searched pass itunes) I would totally buy it! but you did an awesome job! thank you!
iTunes rarely uploads game soundtracks
This soundtrack isn't anywhere officially. However, Jesper Kyd is on both Spotify and Apple Music/iTunes!
Best track in the game. Finally something that sounds inline with the original games.
Reminds me of Blood Money
@@gosteponyourmomslego5053 a dance with the devil mission 🔥
This level is good reflection of previous hitman series. Darker theme, suitable soundtracks.
"Ah, one more I see. Won't you join us?"
“Ah, I see someone’s in a hurry to get inside.”
“Well, no one’s putting a gun to your head.”
you came for 22:30
exactly, thx man
i came for jesper
Nah, I came for the choir
What is this reference to?
The entire soundtrack is brilliant! Dark and sinister.
Whittleton Creek's briefing theme is amazing. Hope you do it next!
4:19, 6:39, 24:39
in discussion for darkness of the level hitman contracts comes on top where it is like midnight.
now that was an unexpected reprise of the theme from hitman 6...juicy
Best soundtrack and best game ever produced in stealth games history
Is it me, or is 21:05 evocative of Janus' house track from Whittleton Creek?
Yes he created the ark society and was the first constant before Arthur Edwards.
30:45 - Exfiltrating Music is the best it’s the Original just with an EPIC Orchestra Style
Can't wait for Hitman 2 whittleton creek soundtrack! This one when you go on ladder to check tape.
Thanks for uploading that epic, epic juice! Great while working.
Love this map!!!
🔥
beginning of this theme is similar to game's intro theme. and this level has the best soundtrack and atmosphere.
i wish ioi was backed by a publisher like sony or something. so they would be given the time and money to do exactly wht they wanted with the game. hitman is already so great but imagine if the levels were more crazy. more budget for the soundtrack and for cutscenes. sony style cinematics and cutscenes plus hitman gameplay and level design would make for an amazing hitman game.
better don't
hell nah
The darkest soundtrack from Hitman 2
I would say that Delgado mansion was the darkest.
It has this Absolution feeling to it. At least beginning.
Dope. Gimme that Mumbai!!! and WHITTLETOooOooOoOOON!!!
Eyes wide shut
Why is this so Epic
That extraction theme makes me want to curse out every bad word through a megaphone, in a good way obviously
If there was one mission where Kyd's music would have fit perfectly, it was this one!

I wish these scores were all on streaming services. They’re so good
I remember trying to speed run The Scarlet Deceit and this was a bop.
This song gives me Arkham Asylum vibes
Loved this mission. Felt like the Rieper coming for all those billionaires.
Honestly, with this mission, if the target's dead bodies are found and it was clear that it was an assassination then it'd be a reminder to all of them that they aren't untouchable, even on this far off island.

Hitman 2 let's you fuck up an Eyes Wide Shut party.
The theme reminds me a lot of Batman Arkham Asylum
one of my favs
It's maps like these that call for "tactical gear with hunter's hat"
Would be fitting for a showdown with DIO
Thank you ! Will you upload the rest of the ost ?
Eventually.

A Dance with the Devil 2
That is definitely a good thing

Is there a way I could get lyrics?
Ark Society - The Ninth Circle (Illuminati)
I associate this mission with a movie "Eyes Wide Shut".
Does it include the song we hear during the mission briefing? I can't find it.

However it usually is a remix or different take on one of the themes playing in the level, for example Janus' house theme in Whittleton Creek. So you can still listen to something close enough here.
I’m pretty sure they’re speaking in latin, I wonder what they’re saying though
To me the best map in the game...
The ambiance in this mission was amazing. But a little bit too clean. Those hitman miss some "dirt" we had in the previous hitman (the butcher house for instance). Like the vilains aren't that vilains.
No Clip doccumentary they talk how they changed the raw, cruel nature of the game with more spy like
hitman 3 seven deadly sins:lust
Is this only on RUclips. Or can the music be found somewhere else.
8:06 - 10:18
Does anyone know the name of the song playing during Janus' funeral?
It's called Ave Maria
And it is in the "Side Tracks" video for Sgàil.
Thanks man
In HITMAN World of assassination I love the best berlin
Eyes Wide Shout ambient 😅
Its too bad i can't find this in Spotify
Upper Castle
5:30 is the best
Why are intervals disappearing from all your videos?
Does anyone know what the track is being played when you enter the bar in the beginning? Its the one being performed by a pianist and cello on stage?
If you're still looking: ruclips.net/video/QUq6zhBNk0U/видео.html&ab_channel=Salem
