The art direction of Black Reliquary is really... interesting. On one side, we have really cool, interesting designs like the cactonids, troglodytes, Yngolian and the kwarotz remnants, on the other, we have THICC.
One thing about the yngolian fight I can't stop thinking about is his spawned units using a move named "radiation burst". Just how the modern, scientific word radiation is so out of place in the medieval fantasy themed darkest dungeon. Really just shows how otherworldly and incomprehensible Yngolian is.
I personally interpreted that as us fighting the last ever Yngolian after they were almost all wiped out, and because of quantic weirdness we always fight another "last Yngolian"
The Y cells kinda look like Demon Cores to me. And considering how a lot of Lovecrafts stuff was based on just natural processes or science he didn’t trust a boss representing radiation would make a god Eldritch entity.
@@utterpreshure8468 I just figured they reproduced so fast that the Moon was covered in the bodies of thousands, maybe even millions of Yngolians. The way I thought about it at least, each Y-Cell, if given time, can grow into a fully grown Yngolian. When we fight the Yngolian, it produces Y-Cells with ease. Think of how fast a Yngolian population could get out of hand if in the time it takes to swing a sword or shoot a gun, two baby Yngolians are born.
I just realized. Those "towers" look an awful lot like the studs that line the back and arms of an Yngolian, and that stick out of the Y Cells when they're primed to explode...
"Beyond hope, beyond dread, there are things best left undisturbed and unspoken. Enter the void to find eternity." An incredible boss fight, made all the more terrifying accompanied by this killer track. Bravo!
I just love that despite being replacement while almost similar to the Shambler, Yngolian have entirely different nature albeit born from the Void. The shambler represent the chaos of the void since it was heavilt based on lovecraftian eldritch creature, hence the twisted physiology of it. While Yngolian represent the endless hunger of the Void, displayed by their wide mouth, how they're almost like the living black hole that slowly devour everything and could emits radiation.
My friend and I agreed that this beacon *had* to be this game's version of the Shambler altar. But I knew without *definitive* proof, we could never truly be sure. So yeah, we "won" but 75% of the Unusual Suspects croaked. My friend called me an idiot and told me we literally knew *already* it was a Shambler altar and we didn't need to do the test. I informed him it's unprofessional to assume a theory is 100% correct without some kind of experimentation, and the fact he was right doesn't change that. In the end we agreed to disagree, but hey, *I'm* the guy with a new unimpressive trinket. So there.
I love how you use the classic "flying saucer" alien vibe melody that could be heard everywhere in 80s and 90s for this alien boss, giving it an old-school nostalgia feeling to a degree.
@@KristjanThomasHaaristo I think that's a very clever idea, you manage to add a flavor of "modern" which fits this boss well and is subtle without changing the fantasy vibe of this game.👍
I genuinely find that going for an Extraterrestrial vibe and theme for the Yngolian makes it more memorable than the Shambler, which went for the typical lovecraftesque cosmic horror angle. The stage looks more unique and memorable too.
We could argue, that Shambler only goes for the surface lovecraftian reminescence, whilst Yngolian really catches the true essence of lovecraftian cosmic horror. Because, contrary to the popular belief, lovecraft is not about tentacles.
I think he is more easy, than shambler. His summons can attack only 1 time, and than die. And they die if Yngolian dies. I killed 2 yngolians, and I didn't touch the y-cells, allowing them to explode, focusing the yngolian itself. and not even a single character was on the death door. I couldn't afford this in the battle with the shambler.
Amazing theme, really makes you feel like youre fighting an alien terror. The background image of the hundreds of Yngolians, presumably on the moon with earth in the background fits perfectly
watch the boss closely you will notice that the "towers" on the planet resemble the spikes on the boss, i think we have an Yngolian big has a planet trasporting his offspring around the void of the cosmos. Imagine a boss fight like that XD.
I gotta say, out of the entire BR OST, this is my favorite. It's not about Yngolian being basically a Shambler but rather that you manage to take the intruments and create a compelling theme for something that I can only describe as a 10 ft, partially-solidified eldritch marshmallow with one of the most unsettling abilities in the game. Love your work
I love your devotion to Darkest Dungeon and RedHoohStudios, man! You are so talented and the original soundtrack you made is so epic! You had me hooked from Buther's Boulevard!
If you watch people on RUclips fight this thing it looks easy… but it’s not. Trust me and the 6 heroes that died (yes I tried twice to fight it before getting the memo).
Great music, close to the original game! Maybe someone knows more like this? Genre, sources of inspiration? I listened to a lot of dungeon synth, epic fantasy music, it's all wrong. From something similar, I only know the soundtracks of the original games and this mod. Energetic instrumental and synthetic sound like this (I'm bad in music, sorry)
@@KristjanThomasHaaristo I meant more like in lore than gameplay. Since the Shambler is a real Lovecraftian thing I was wondering if this ball was one too.
@@konoegiatanez3754 Have you heard of the Demon Core? Considering the Y cells literally fight trough radiation I assume it’s meant to be a representation of the effects of Radiation.

Dont lose your sanity in the way
When you realize that the massive cluster of countless Yngolians where the boss fight takes place in is slowly but surely moving towards the earth...
Maybe spreading from the dreamlands inside non-euclidien breach...
Who would win? The Yngolian ball or the thing inside the Darkest Dungeon?
@@lorenzogarompolo8074the thing inside Darkest Dungeon? You mean the entire earth?
@@xavreim6957 I have discovered that the ball of Yngolians... Is the Moon.
The art direction of Black Reliquary is really... interesting.
On one side, we have really cool, interesting designs like the cactonids, troglodytes, Yngolian and the kwarotz remnants, on the other, we have THICC.
The duality of man.
Both are good.
Kinda makes sense given the Conan inspiration of the mod's setting.

Just how the modern, scientific word radiation is so out of place in the medieval fantasy themed darkest dungeon. Really just shows how otherworldly and incomprehensible Yngolian is.
The thing that worries me is the background. Yngolian we fighting is just one of many. If they all wake up at the same time…

To blow up the earth
@@aggresiveiceberglettuce8848I think he meant that the celestial body where we are fighting on is one giant yngolian
@@Yanebubna That's an insane theory but would fit so well in the darkest dungeon universe

Remarkably accurate for what they are in deeper lore.

A new unimpressive trinket you can upgrade by using it on future Yngolian beacons like you would a torch and killing them.
@@SeriousGranade Aah, got it.
In Soviet Reliquary, you don't steal moon - moon steal YOU!
I love how you use the classic "flying saucer" alien vibe melody that could be heard everywhere in 80s and 90s for this alien boss, giving it an old-school nostalgia feeling to a degree.
indeed, thought it'd be a bit funny to have that feel on top of.. whatever soup genre this is
@@KristjanThomasHaaristo I think that's a very clever idea, you manage to add a flavor of "modern" which fits this boss well and is subtle without changing the fantasy vibe of this game.👍
It's even better considering the boss has flying radioactive saucers at his side lmao.

I love how heavy the drums are, reminds me of the "crater creator" move Yngolian has
Fun fact, the sound effect has the Taco Bell sound in it.

Oh look it's the apocalypse from Berserk
This boss is by far more scary-looking than the shambler. The most creepy part about this boss is their fingers
I absolutely hate how this shambler like boss moves it's fingers, its so effing creepy and unnerving let alone the background and rest of the enemy
It fits perfectly
@@toheekang174 yeah it does, I have to give it that but I hate it still, makes me uncomfortable
It's got jAzZ hAnDS
He ballin
really cool that you are standing on his buddies' corpses during the battle, adds to the atmosphere
corpses? you sure they are dead
what even is death for a creature of such size
@@Александр-ц5с8у dead is dead no matter the size.
Now about the nature of those things...
The Shambler was but a hunting trophy. Looking forward to adding another one to my collection...
Overconfidence is a slow and Insidious killer
@@abdullahhuseinalaydrusagainst yngolian overconfidence is very quick, actually!

Love your work
thank you a ton!
the alien canonball himself
I love your devotion to Darkest Dungeon and RedHoohStudios, man! You are so talented and the original soundtrack you made is so epic! You had me hooked from Buther's Boulevard!
Someone must have noticed that this.... flying saucer FULL of Yngolians are HEADING TOWARD EARTH. Bloody Hell!
Horrors and Fears.
The finger fluttering will never not be funny to me
And then it hits You with the crater creator
I definitely need a bass only version of this track, so rythmic.
The control rods on the Yngolian remind me of Eva units
Also, thank you for the music.
If you watch people on RUclips fight this thing it looks easy… but it’s not. Trust me and the 6 heroes that died (yes I tried twice to fight it before getting the memo).
They made the background fucking eclipse 2.0
it gives me huge vibes of the eclipse from berserk
Great music, close to the original game! Maybe someone knows more like this? Genre, sources of inspiration? I listened to a lot of dungeon synth, epic fantasy music, it's all wrong. From something similar, I only know the soundtracks of the original games and this mod. Energetic instrumental and synthetic sound like this (I'm bad in music, sorry)
I also dont know much to DD1 style, its so specific it's hard to come by
Can I ask how this mod was made? Want to learn how to make videogames in that style, darkest dungeon can be inspiring.
idk i just do the music
It took a team of talented people, good leadership, and a few years of work.
what boss in BR with this ost?
the one in the title
The shambler replacer coming with cactus update
Big fucken beachball with teeth
berserk eclipse vibes
Is there any way to get this mod for gog version of the game ?
nope
Is the Yngolian based on anything like the Shambler? Just curious!
replacement fight yea
@@KristjanThomasHaaristo I meant more like in lore than gameplay. Since the Shambler is a real Lovecraftian thing I was wondering if this ball was one too.

Hey, this curio looks out of place... it wants light? oh alri- OOOOOOHHHHH
Quite literally my first experience with Yngolian, I realized my folly half a second after gifting light to the beacon.
