I always liked the Necromancer's fight because he doesn't use any dirty tricks like extra phases or lava pits or giant projectiles. He just summons some enemies, then fights you using abilities that mirror the ones you have (magic and sword techniques). Just makes it so much more fun to fight someone you are on equal standing with.
Thrak The Carrier Of The Moonlight its like a gauntlet but keep in mind he is extremely easy once you can actually fight him since blue night freezes him
The Virgin Evil Wizard: -Most generic villain in the history of forever -Mediocre Theme -Too many phases -Fakeout Death -Needed to hire a painter for his team The Chad Necromancer -Badass Theme -Quick but difficult fight -Cool ass Design -Only 2 Phases -Can be a villain on his own
@Siper You die in like 1/4 hits on insane mode, counting that if he touch you on final phase you have high probability to die without even have time to take a potion
You know, I just realized a disturbing fact about the Necromancer. Throughout the game, when the Necromancer revives the dead, they are mostly skeletons. The only reasons why the bodies are skeletons are because they were bodies from a graveyard and ash-covered corpses, both of which were long dead. In the boss fight though, he brings back corpses that aren't skeletons, but buffed enemies. Take into account that the arena is a *torture dungeon.* This means that to prepare for the fight with the knights, the Necromancer rounded up enemies from past levels, brought them to the dungeon, KILLED THEM ALL and waited for the knights to arrive so he can have fresh bodies to fight the knights instead of weak skeletons. I know that the Necromancer is supposed to be evil, but that is *BEYOND EVIL.* Welcome to my Ted-Talk, and this is why I believe that after the fight with the Evil Wizard, the Necromancer should have swooped in and have been the true final boss.
I like to think he just gathered up the bodies that you, the player killed. I mean, if you look at the first phase of the people he resurrects, it is only the people in the first half of the game.
@@quereakwer8135 i can agree with you because the only ones that he brings back to life are enemies and not allies such as the grey knights that are also lying dead in the floor with the other ones, It could be More interesting if you could have fought at least one grey knight or in an plot twist, they recognize you and help you against the enemies like in the levels were you fight side to side with them
one of the few bosses that industrialist and femcer cant kill with ease... and a TON of little enemies to kill before you even fight him... hard but fun
This is the best boss fight (and accompanying fight song) in Castle Crashers. People might hate the buildup with all the enemies, but once the real fight begins, the Necromancer is fighting JUST LIKE A PLAYER KNIGHT. That's what I like about it.
Leet 1337 I have a theory that the Necromancer is either a White Knight corrupted by the Wizard. An evil version of the player made by the Wizard or a traitor with necromancer powers because the 1v1 is the same as two player characters fighting
Conehead groom is the best boss fight.(And accompanying fight song) the boss fights ecxacly like you and throws bombs at you while he fights you he goes sometimes to his organ and begins to play a new badass tune while shooting you with bunch of canons.
In truth, The Evil Wizard was a bit overrated. The Necromancer was a way more difficult boss because he forces to you to fight all the people you've killed. That and he himself fights you with badass necromancy.
+Jacob Goldsberry Personally, I think that the Evil Wizard would have been much better if he had less forms with more hp. It just felt like they were trying to tell you that "Oh, he's dead THIS time!" 6 health-bars in a row.
+Emmett Boer Bohan Seriously, if you passed the game once, you know how to beat Wizard without potions next time. Necromancer (or should I said his "minions") are way harder to kill than all 6 froms of Wizard. Crystals are easy to kill (you can attack them all at once, so they're "dead" after 2-3 attacks), Wizard - magic/melee, and he is using only 2 skills you can dodge easly, Balloon - no comment here, #juglingcombo , Spider - it COULD be the hardest part, but hey, we have sandwiches. Use sandwich and make juggling combo, so he can't even touch you, Balloon Form 2 - .... Demon Sword Part - I think they added this part just because of the sword. He needed a sword that players can got. Just don't let meteors hit you and you can end it easly. For me Necromancer (I mean his minions) are on my 1st place of the hardest bosses in the Castle Crashers. 2nd is Frost King (annoying teleportation and ice!) and 3rd... I think it's Groom Conehead.
In my opinion this is the most unique fight this game has, the tension and nerves that I felt the first time I entered the room, listened to the music, and saw how the Necromancer revived all the enemies I faced was totally incredible. To then face him and see that he fights in the same way that you do. This was the most interesting and iconic fight I had while playing Castle Crashers.
+SugarlessComb not if you happen to be red knight with maxed out magic and you happen to know what you're doing, it is really simple. Except for the normal enemies in the hall when trying to get to the bosses!
It carries the whole boss theme feel so freakin well. everything screams tension and demands full focus from you and your opponent. It really drives home the "knock me down, here i come again" feel
You know what I think should have happened at the end? Once you beat the wizard after he gets his sword, instead of the island collapsing, he calls the Necromancer to help him. The necromancer comes to his side. He gives a gesture telling the necromancer to "Have at them!" The first time, he ignores the wizard. He does the gesture again, no response from the necromancer. He just stands still. And then he hits the wizard off the cliff, and taking the crystal for himself. And then you fight him, and he has abilities that can 1 shot level 5.
PenguinPandaOne Yes, the necromancer looks like,a powerful as fuck just guy who wouldn't take orders lightly and, honestly, even though the characters don't speak, he does look like that. He shoud've killed the wizard himself then fought you again, except this time he revives BOSSES instead of normal enemies
Santenoturtle Killing the bastard himself was a breeze, just, Behemoth did him justice by music but not personal battle. The enemies before him were harder than this mofo but it still felt like I was kicking the hell out of a fallen knight as a hero. This needs a movie
The Necromancer is more of a Survival Gauntlet then a boss fight. At high enough defense he does a total of 19 damage with his sword, and only 20ish with his magic. My guess is he wanted you to survive the onslaught of enemies So you could kill him. But hey, I ain’t complaining. I get to take his badass sword.
Honestly, while playing on insane mode, the second wave of enemies was *WAY* more of a challenge than the Necromancer himself was. (and this song Is also still a banger to this day)
To be fair, when i played and got to him, he was being a jerk with his damn shield blocks X'D Thankfully two can play that game. PS: He should've been the final boss. i mean, doesn't he/she/it have a purely unique track? ... Nevermind maybe the Wizard does and i am a derp. Still not as kickass.
i LOVE this theme, I don't know who the Necromancer really is, but all I know is that he's got an amazing theme song and that just makes it awesome. Awesome stuff :]
SCP 173 Playing insane mode reactions. Pipistrello: Normal: Meh, not to bad. Insane: How much can this frikin bat take?. Nice reward though Industrial Castle: Normal: This... HAS TO BE ONE OF THE HARDEST LEVELS IN THE GAME!!. Insane: FUCK THIS SHIT!!!!!! (Beats by accident) FUCK YEAH (realises I can play as Necromancer) HELL YES!!!!! Necromancer: Normal: Geez that guy was tough as balls: Insane: I'm fucked already
Now that people are interested in Castle Crashers again... did anyone notice that The Necromancer is the only character that doesn't die upon defeating him? I think this guy is gonna be returning in a sequel as the main villain.
Necromancer was the best fight. The best song, the best concept, the best buildup, and I love the idea of fighting someone of equal strength. This whole time, you've been building yourself up for this fight with a guy who can literally raise the dead like nothing. It's so satisfying to win this fight.
Makes sense he'd be able to revive himself. Also, he totally could've overthrown the evil wizard whenever, but didn't. I mean, the fire dragon didn't even get brought back yet, so I'm wondering if the necromancer's a bit lazy.
Sans: "i'm the hardest boss to kill!" Wither in bedrock edition: "No i am!" Insane Mode necromancer: "Amateurs" Sans: "What was that punk?" Insane mode necromancer: "AMATEURS"
On insane mode bosses deal 10× more damage (Basically one shots u) Also the minions that necromancer summuns also count as a boss attack Which means ....... Even with Maxed out everything u get killed by getting hit 2 Once passes the first phase Second phase easy sword and shiled combat
I gotta say, I appreciate the fact you uploaded the music - a _lot_ of people would just go "TAKE IT ALL DOWN!" and not let anyone listen to their music freely but you at least uploaded it here. So thank you, sir.
+Maybe A Dragon +KnivesInAToaster +TheWalklingPractice I did it because people have no right to upload a song that's already uploaded (and with no credit to me) and I didn't press claims against everyone, I asked first for them to take it down and then when they didn't answer (or said they didn't want to), then I pressed claims. Yet, none of my other music really gets out there even though I ask most of the fans of this song to. I don't mind when someone uses it if they give me credit properly, but I've had to take down videos of people mainly not crediting me in the video for using this song, but they can NOT upload the song alone. There's no point if I already uploaded it, I am the original artist, and most people don't even know I made this. Those are the facts, had to share them with you guys so you know what went on.
If you liked this song of mine, I have a new Industrial Metal album coming this Summer I've worked on for 4 years which will blow you out of the water. Check out the preview of the new single: ruclips.net/video/EogjgcJ3d5o/видео.html
The horned gray necromancer, summoner of the dead. His eyes glow with the redness of a blood moon. He is a knight who has spent his whole life learning magic, both arcane and new, and has trained extensively in combat. This has made him not only a threat in his abilities to bring back the dead to fight for him, but has also earned him the reputation of being a fierce warrior of unparalleled skill. With the help of the evil wizard, he has truly become a nigh unstoppable force which the world has never seen before. Few now have faced him and survived the battle. Perhaps the four approaching warriors will now stand a chance? It is possible, but they will have to commit all their training to defeat this powerful foe.
I finally got the chance to play Castle Crashers recently, and hearing this while fighting one of the most coolest looking bosses in the game made me pause and just listen to the music alone. This is just a masterpiece, and you did a truly fantastic job.
i just looked at the wiki,and i saw that the Necromancer actually has the most health in the game on Normal Mode and Insane Mode,so how come does the Wizard have less hp?
I remember this boss fight. The first time my brother and I faced him down, we played all the way there together. When the song starts going off, you know what I mean, we both just lost it. Still remains one of my favorite video game boss battle songs to this day.
Thanks! Though the soundtrack turns 11 this year as well as this song, 2012 is just when I uploaded it to youtube, 2008 to Newgrounds originally. Thanks!
BEST BOSS FIGHT HANDS DOWN. Aside from all the minion spam, fighting the actual necromancer feels so intense, guttural and fierce. No tricks, just sword to sword combat.
This gives me Galacta Knight vibes and that’s cool, I’m here from the recent video just because as cool as your songs are my man, this one has a special place in many peoples hearts
Thank you! I understand if my new stuff isn't people's style, but thank you for at least giving it a chance. I'm glad this has a special place in everyone's life, but I'm wanting to make new songs for people to remember.
+Daniel “derpy” Diamondminer I was 16 years old when I made it. I made it in January 2008, and when they asked me in April of that year when I got a song in the Top 5 audio of the week (thing on NG at the time) for the first time, I was psyched. Tom Fulp browsed my music and sent me an email and emailed me a contract. I was excited, but my parents had to sign. To this day though, I wish I had put "Real Faction" instead of "Piercing Lazer". It was a side project, buuut it IS coming back very soon, so I'm going back to that sound :)
This boss fight was my favorite because not just how he mirrors your moves, but the satisfaction of fighting every enemy you faced from start to finish in one area is just unbelievable and I just think it is really amazing for players to experience this boss fight.
It's been too long, I'm going to play this game again after 7 years of not playing it just to fight the Necromancer and listen to his badass theme which is fire 🔥
Ok so the first time I tried Castle Crashers, i hated it. I thought it was just another "button mashing" game. One day im on youtube and i see this in my recommended. i hear this and no joke it motivated me to retry the game. Im now a severe addict attempting insane mode. God bless and good work!
This track is def my favorite, you killed it! Also, I agree Necro would've made a fantastic badass final boss/main villain. Though I think the reason Evil Wizard was the way he was, was probably because this is more of a lighthearted funny game. I know the final princess gives us a big final funny moment, but y'all gotta admit that the goofy evil wizard fits the game's theme pretty well. Not to say Necro doesn't fit in the game, their seriousness contrasts really well with everything else and makes them more creepy and cool!
Necromancer is the only boss I didn't spammed magic to easily destroy it, it was a fair battle because of the huge respect I have for it as a boss, mixing magic and melee in the battle was a great addition
I remember when I fought the boss I was playing with my friend who was around level 11 during the necromancer fight because he didn’t play much, I just remember him dying soon after fighting the summons and I had to solo the fight. The boss theme just made the fight 10x better, and at the end of the fight I was really sweaty
I am surprised this boss has the most intense horrifying soundtrack in human history whereas the Evil Wizard has the most non horrific theme and is also less deadly than the dude who summons literal people you've killed just shows that the Necromancer didn't need the Wizard to win he could've collected as many dead knights, brutes, and bosses and used them to kill the Castle Crashers.
The fact that this got recommended 12 years after is crazy, this song brings back a lot of memories, trying to deceat the necromancer with my big brother was a once in a lifetime experience):
I remember thinking the necromancer was so badass back in the 360 days. According to Dan he didn’t really die in his boss fight either. If they ever decide to make a CC sequel id love to see him make a return as a main antagonist. But for the time being I’m eagerly waiting for the painter boss paradise DLC to come out, and definitely looking forward to seeing his “fresh” design 👍

Castle Crashers was legit my favorite game growing up. I remember my uncle bringing his friends over to play it on their Xbox and I would join in with them and tag along with the adventure. It was and has always been a game that I enjoy playing and the fact it took me YEARS to realize this song wasn't just called "Necromancers theme" make me feel like a dumb ass But fr tho this song is what started off part of my love for music so thank you for giving it an actual name lmao
Real Faction I just did, and it changed the definition of awesomeness. Your music is the best I've EVER heard. Seriously, how do you not have 1,000,000,000,000,000 subscribers by now? I mean people love the necromancer theme and all, (and don't get me wrong its the best boss theme I've heard) but they don't seem to notice any of your other songs. And if they haven't heard your music, then they haven't heard true music.
Speaking of which, I didn't think it would be too much of an issue but I wanted to check with you none the less, I was planning on making a playlist made up of the best of your songs clearly labeled "The best of Real Faction" and I will do everything I can to make sure no one thinks their my songs. (Your name should be in the titles of all of them, so you will be credited!!) And if possible I will provide a link to your channel (I don't know if it's possible to in a playlist...) Are you good with that?

- Cool Magic Attacks

I found it a pain to kill necromancer, all he did was block all my attacks and rarely attacked me xD
Santenoturtle Killing the bastard himself was a breeze, just, Behemoth did him justice by music but not personal battle. The enemies before him were harder than this mofo but it still felt like I was kicking the hell out of a fallen knight as a hero. This needs a movie
Total awesomeness I agree
The Necromancer is more of a Survival Gauntlet then a boss fight. At high enough defense he does a total of 19 damage with his sword, and only 20ish with his magic. My guess is he wanted you to survive the onslaught of enemies So you could kill him. But hey, I ain’t complaining. I get to take his badass sword.
If we ever get a Castle Crashers sequel, this guy has to be the new main villain.
The Necromancer was revealed to still be alive so if there is a Castle Crashers 2 he has GOT to be the villian
I thought of an entire storyline for how a sequel would go, lol. You're sooo correct though.
Honestly, while playing on insane mode, the second wave of enemies was *WAY* more of a challenge than the Necromancer himself was. (and this song Is also still a banger to this day)
I don't give a shit about the wizard, necro is the true antagonist for me
Cubic GD necro is kinda eazy, the things that make him shine are
1) the enmies before him
2) this awesome music
Samuel Sabbadim Lacerda The enemies are part of the boss fight
To be fair, when i played and got to him, he was being a jerk with his damn shield blocks X'D Thankfully two can play that game.
PS: He should've been the final boss. i mean, doesn't he/she/it have a purely unique track? ... Nevermind maybe the Wizard does and i am a derp. Still not as kickass.
cubic same
@@terminallycapricious3189 i know that this comment I am talking to is 4 years old but imagine , wht if the necromancer was a girl-
i LOVE this theme, I don't know who the Necromancer really is, but all I know is that he's got an amazing theme song and that just makes it awesome. Awesome stuff :]
Play castle crashers homie
I can’t escape you, you’re literally everywhere and I’ve been trying to avoid you but I swear we have the exact same taste in games and songs
Everywhere I go, you're always there
play castle crashers then you will understand this guy is the most hard boss AND HE ISN'T EVEN THE FINAL ONE

THAT BOSS IS THE HARDEST BOSS IN THE GAME!!! SHOULDN'T HE BE THE FINALE BOSS???
Now that people are interested in Castle Crashers again... did anyone notice that The Necromancer is the only character that doesn't die upon defeating him?
I think this guy is gonna be returning in a sequel as the main villain.
When you thought you just gonna fight the necromancer... flying
But then he F**KING REVIVES EVERYONE
Lmao
Alright nap times over fxckers get up
Necromancer was the best fight. The best song, the best concept, the best buildup, and I love the idea of fighting someone of equal strength. This whole time, you've been building yourself up for this fight with a guy who can literally raise the dead like nothing. It's so satisfying to win this fight.
Too bad he is such a pushover when he landed to fight heroes by himself. The only special thing he can do in duel is his shield blocking
I agree. I challenged my boss one time, I won. He payed me to not mention my victory. Screw you boss!
OH, I COULDN'T HEAR THIS SONG OVER THE SOUND OF *HIM BLOCKING ALL OF MY ATTACKS*
I always hear the shoot noise and an enemy falling on the ground and sword swinging and hitting
Ok but his sword is the one that carried me through most of insane mode. That defense is just too much to pass up.
The fact he's still alive is fucking terrifying
Makes sense he'd be able to revive himself. Also, he totally could've overthrown the evil wizard whenever, but didn't. I mean, the fire dragon didn't even get brought back yet, so I'm wondering if the necromancer's a bit lazy.
I hope so..@volt42re
This is a really good song. I'm glad it exists.
Hey The necromancer prepare for get juggled >:)

I gotta say, I appreciate the fact you uploaded the music - a _lot_ of people would just go "TAKE IT ALL DOWN!" and not let anyone listen to their music freely but you at least uploaded it here. So thank you, sir.
A couple of years ago, Real Faction pressed copyright claims against everybody on youtube who had uploaded this song. Making this video the only one.
..Okay, I stand corrected.
+Maybe A Dragon +KnivesInAToaster +TheWalklingPractice I did it because people have no right to upload a song that's already uploaded (and with no credit to me) and I didn't press claims against everyone, I asked first for them to take it down and then when they didn't answer (or said they didn't want to), then I pressed claims. Yet, none of my other music really gets out there even though I ask most of the fans of this song to.
I don't mind when someone uses it if they give me credit properly, but I've had to take down videos of people mainly not crediting me in the video for using this song, but they can NOT upload the song alone. There's no point if I already uploaded it, I am the original artist, and most people don't even know I made this. Those are the facts, had to share them with you guys so you know what went on.
If you liked this song of mine, I have a new Industrial Metal album coming this Summer I've worked on for 4 years which will blow you out of the water. Check out the preview of the new single: ruclips.net/video/EogjgcJ3d5o/видео.html
I didn’t even realize until right now but this is the song that got me into metal and rock
Real Faction, if I'm not wrong, there was a vocal version of Simple Sight...I can't seem to find it anymore D: What happened to it? :O

@@LucidDreamexe i think you're a little bit late
The horned gray necromancer, summoner of the dead. His eyes glow with the redness of a blood moon. He is a knight who has spent his whole life learning magic, both arcane and new, and has trained extensively in combat. This has made him not only a threat in his abilities to bring back the dead to fight for him, but has also earned him the reputation of being a fierce warrior of unparalleled skill. With the help of the evil wizard, he has truly become a nigh unstoppable force which the world has never seen before. Few now have faced him and survived the battle. Perhaps the four approaching warriors will now stand a chance? It is possible, but they will have to commit all their training to defeat this powerful foe.
dope
I have beaten it solo
Dope man. Good job.
Whole GCSE answer bro
“unparalleled skill”
tell that to the groom that stunlocks you, just can’t revive dead people.
I finally got the chance to play Castle Crashers recently, and hearing this while fighting one of the most coolest looking bosses in the game made me pause and just listen to the music alone. This is just a masterpiece, and you did a truly fantastic job.
i just looked at the wiki,and i saw that the Necromancer actually has the most health in the game on Normal Mode and Insane Mode,so how come does the Wizard have less hp?
his phases dont have much health, which are technically separate boss fights
Mekhi Makayla He’s the prince of the UNDEAD, what do you expect?
His defence is also incredibly high

This was the one and only fight I actually remembered to use my shield
4 years later... this is still as good as ever. Props to Real Faction for making a song as timeless as this!
I remember this boss fight. The first time my brother and I faced him down, we played all the way there together. When the song starts going off, you know what I mean, we both just lost it. Still remains one of my favorite video game boss battle songs to this day.
_*I like how the entire Castle Crashers fandom collectively agreed the Necromancer should’ve been the final boss and not Evil Wizard._
i love this song
Best song in Castle Crashers hands down
Winterbliss
hey me too and im a jojofan
My other one is the four champions
Ah yes, the first badass song that I heard as a smol child and still listen to this day
2019? Dang. And it's still the best soundtrack after like what, 7 years later. Wow. Love the soundtrack.👍
Thanks! Though the soundtrack turns 11 this year as well as this song, 2012 is just when I uploaded it to youtube, 2008 to Newgrounds originally. Thanks!
play this at any boss fight
right!?
「」 Sevchaenkov Doesn't work too well with Yoshi's Island.
@@littykitty040 tanks for the idea ruclips.net/video/SMZHY1JGVcw/видео.html
Well it depends on what type boss and their music into
BEST BOSS FIGHT HANDS DOWN.
Aside from all the minion spam, fighting the actual necromancer feels so intense, guttural and fierce. No tricks, just sword to sword combat.
This gives me Galacta Knight vibes and that’s cool,
I’m here from the recent video just because as cool as your songs are my man, this one has a special place in many peoples hearts
Thank you! I understand if my new stuff isn't people's style, but thank you for at least giving it a chance. I'm glad this has a special place in everyone's life, but I'm wanting to make new songs for people to remember.
Real Faction / Piercing Lazer I wish you the best of luck me dude, I know you can do it :)
@@reformedorthodoxmunmanquara awee thanks :)
Best song from caste crashers!
I'll sure do! thanks :)
The necromancer was honestly the first time I ever saw somebody raise the dead in fiction, so this guy difines the term for me.
so faction, question, how did you feel when behemoth asked you if they could use this song in their game
I'm just curious
+Daniel “derpy” Diamondminer I was 16 years old when I made it. I made it in January 2008, and when they asked me in April of that year when I got a song in the Top 5 audio of the week (thing on NG at the time) for the first time, I was psyched. Tom Fulp browsed my music and sent me an email and emailed me a contract. I was excited, but my parents had to sign. To this day though, I wish I had put "Real Faction" instead of "Piercing Lazer". It was a side project, buuut it IS coming back very soon, so I'm going back to that sound :)
Real Faction so THATS why it says piercing lazer in the video
+Real Faction 16? Jeez man, that is some fucking talent you go there :D. Very inspiring for a high school senior with low self esteem such as myself.
damm Daniel
+halo spartan beta the door
Definitivamente a melhor música
de castle crashers :)
Still come back here...and its 8 months into 2023, this stands the test of time till this day!!!
notice how the best part
(0:43)
comes in right as the bar goes into the fire knight section.
That is proof that 0:43 is fire.
True
Tu soundtrack ha inspirado a tener los mejores covers en RUclips, eres un gran artista que supo transmitir su talento. 💙
This boss fight was my favorite because not just how he mirrors your moves, but the satisfaction of fighting every enemy you faced from start to finish in one area is just unbelievable and I just think it is really amazing for players to experience this boss fight.
It's been too long, I'm going to play this game again after 7 years of not playing it just to fight the Necromancer and listen to his badass theme which is fire 🔥
0:43 The awesomest part in this Music.
Ok so the first time I tried Castle Crashers, i hated it. I thought it was just another "button mashing" game. One day im on youtube and i see this in my recommended. i hear this and no joke it motivated me to retry the game. Im now a severe addict attempting insane mode. God bless and good work!
This track is def my favorite, you killed it!
Also, I agree Necro would've made a fantastic badass final boss/main villain. Though I think the reason Evil Wizard was the way he was, was probably because this is more of a lighthearted funny game. I know the final princess gives us a big final funny moment, but y'all gotta admit that the goofy evil wizard fits the game's theme pretty well.
Not to say Necro doesn't fit in the game, their seriousness contrasts really well with everything else and makes them more creepy and cool!
we can all agree this is the best song in castle crashers, right?
Hell yeah
Yup. I literally learned how to play it on piano because of how good it is.
Thanks for making this legendary song dude!
Necromancer is the only boss I didn't spammed magic to easily destroy it, it was a fair battle because of the huge respect I have for it as a boss, mixing magic and melee in the battle was a great addition
This boss was so badass. Just seeing all the dead bodies and knowing that so many others had tried to beat him and failed was just so unnerving.
Thank you for composing a song this badass, and having it be in an incredibly important part of my childhood too 🙏🙏
Dude, the Necromancer theme SWEEPS HOUSE!
This is the best fucking song of the whole game. And the soundtrack its really good, so, this is fantastic!
Love the keyboard part.
I remember when I fought the boss I was playing with my friend who was around level 11 during the necromancer fight because he didn’t play much, I just remember him dying soon after fighting the summons and I had to solo the fight. The boss theme just made the fight 10x better, and at the end of the fight I was really sweaty
I am surprised this boss has the most intense horrifying soundtrack in human history whereas the Evil Wizard has the most non horrific theme and is also less deadly than the dude who summons literal people you've killed just shows that the Necromancer didn't need the Wizard to win he could've collected as many dead knights, brutes, and bosses and used them to kill the Castle Crashers.
This song really fits for a final boss
WE’RE REVIVING THE DEAD WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥
The fact that this got recommended 12 years after is crazy, this song brings back a lot of memories, trying to deceat the necromancer with my big brother was a once in a lifetime experience):
Best song in Castle Crashers, heck maybe even the best video game song ever.
Simple Sight is legendary.
Absolutely love fighting necromancer over and over again just to hear this song
I remember thinking the necromancer was so badass back in the 360 days. According to Dan he didn’t really die in his boss fight either. If they ever decide to make a CC sequel id love to see him make a return as a main antagonist. But for the time being I’m eagerly waiting for the painter boss paradise DLC to come out, and definitely looking forward to seeing his “fresh” design 👍
I want me my revamp
0:43 is a banger fr
cant wait to see what this guy looks like in the dlc

This is to good
This song is insanely cool man! I'm defiantly gonna check out your other music :D I'd love to buy this song on iTunes or something
Castle Crashers was legit my favorite game growing up. I remember my uncle bringing his friends over to play it on their Xbox and I would join in with them and tag along with the adventure. It was and has always been a game that I enjoy playing and the fact it took me YEARS to realize this song wasn't just called "Necromancers theme" make me feel like a dumb ass
But fr tho this song is what started off part of my love for music so thank you for giving it an actual name lmao
the hardest part of this fight was ME, holy shit this musics just makes me feel things
i more thing...
HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS SONG SO EPICLY
@113698061697936256173 FL Studio, though I'm way more experienced now.
Real Faction I just did, and it changed the definition of awesomeness. Your music is the best I've EVER heard. Seriously, how do you not have 1,000,000,000,000,000 subscribers by now? I mean people love the necromancer theme and all, (and don't get me wrong its the best boss theme I've heard) but they don't seem to notice any of your other songs. And if they haven't heard your music, then they haven't heard true music.
Speaking of which, I didn't think it would be too much of an issue but I wanted to check with you none the less, I was planning on making a playlist made up of the best of your songs clearly labeled "The best of Real Faction" and I will do everything I can to make sure no one thinks their my songs. (Your name should be in the titles of all of them, so you will be credited!!) And if possible I will provide a link to your channel (I don't know if it's possible to in a playlist...) Are you good with that?
He did not make it stupid 😂
One of my favorite themes in all of gaming, I just love how badass the necromancer was, and the theme too! He just was so HARD!
