where you have to avoid his skeleton you could barely kill while he runs around trying to smack you with his hammer, which dealt down to half health damage. Great fun.
Are you sure? I feel like the first lab is always very easy (unless you meant HC league). Danger arises in the last lab/s where the half hp hits suddenly one shot even seasoned tanks out of the blue.^^
The Guide led the Warrior down a path That wound and twisted Through fields of blossoming promises. Green-bladed hopes. The Warrior closed his eyes. A mere moment To feel the warmth of the sun on his back, And to drink from the Guide's proffered flask. Now the Warrior staggers and crawls Down the wounded, tortured causeway. The bitterness stings his weeping eyes. The fire roars in his belly, Consuming him. The Warrior will not ascend. Instead he hunts. Guided by his love for Ezomyr.
when i hear the start my heartrate gets higher... had a "situation" this league where both my carry friends died and i (cursebot) was left in the second Izaro fight midway alone.... and i only had a 2 Curse supported bane as damage I had NO damage notes from tree and had negative resistances in UBER ... spend 15 minutes dodging everything in the last fight (i got out of the second fight and somehow made it through the lab) 15 minutes... i was shaking after I did it... BUT i was the first out of my friends to get His ascendency that league...and i felt like a god
You have the imperial trumpets and choir of the Emperor, and the high-speed mechanical percussion of the Labyrinth. Combined, you get Ghost Cyborg Emperor Badass. ...holy shit, Izaro's a Tenno. He kitbashed himself a Warframe.
'Only the ones who are the emperor within, can become the emperor without, Tenno.' - space emperor of the old Orikin, Izaro, oneshotting me with an ubered Vey Hek.
one of the best fights I ever had, played a max block gladiator against Inzaro who had shield and sword, how epic it was when we both used shield charge and hit each other with perfect timing with this music in background
+Sunny Lu I don't have a good enough rig to play hardcore. Also, I play far too recklessly and carelessly to play HC at the moment. I don't like to lose a whole character because my computer seized for two seconds or whatnot. So what I do is try to make it to level 90 or w/e without a death. Usually, that fails miserably on my first character, but that's fine =P.
I wondered the same and finalky tried it out.. much better experience. You are forced to pay mire attention to the game yiur build, your drcisions, gearing, everything. And it feels good when you succeed. Fresh break from the endless mindless and in the end pointless currency grind. For me as an intermediate poe player, I'd say, HC is a learning opportunity and a challenge of "how far can I go"? This league I managed to get to yellow maps, but I got unluckily oneshot. I agree poe is frustrating, too many random oneshot unexplainable deaths. But the benefits are there as well, try it out really if you have at least some grasp of the game.@@tunnar79

I've actually cried for Izaro. So wise... yet so naive. He just wanted the emperor to be the Inca again, and he was right. If only Chitus had had to fight him at the end... Wraeclast would have had a very different history. And we'd have had a totally different game.
He learned from that, too bad that Izaro is forever trapped and damned by his own creation. Izaro is one of the characters that I love learning about, his story reminds me a fair bit of Marcus Aurelius and his son, where Marcus was a fairly competent ruler and is heir was.... less so and devolved the Roman Empire into a mess for a time. Turns out that sometimes, no matter how you design your tests to weed out those incapable, the worst always seem to grab power.
Here you can hear why the PoE-soundtrack is great. The first half engaging, like the challenge of a trial (to become the new emperor in the past) should be... ascending into the last part of pure heroism. You can feel the epicness while figting Izaro, with all the lore behind it... the only reason I don't become insane after years of lab-trials xD
Just a straight fight avoiding his AOE's too... Too many fights involve 'you stand here and die' mechanics... Most all games seem to do that these days. Just a way to make it harder, even if you have sufficient gear/decent skill.
Even today, this music makes me think of high wire circus performers. (but due to the context I am always scared of lacerates, poison spray bombs, and minion drain)
+rhodan74 the first two fights are fine. The THIRD fight is a hot mess because 90% of the room is a deathtrap, and the other 10% is left for Izaro to corner you in.
To use the knowledge of your predecessors is a sign of wisdom, but to merely copy their visage is to display the absence of you own worth. or Quoting the Emperor doesn't make you smarter.
imo it’s just fun, he has some good lines (some of which are probably taken from somewhere), and more importantly, exceptional voice acting to deliver those lines
"No two fights are alike." Yeah, well, after 100 tries each dying to misfortunate lags or random one hits + exact same boss room mechanics I really doubt that.

I think one of the best experiences in the game is doing your first labyrinth and fighting Izaro for the first time. It never gets old.
where you have to avoid his skeleton you could barely kill while he runs around trying to smack you with his hammer, which dealt down to half health damage. Great fun.
@@bufan7177 This fight teached me a lot. Being able to do the lab without getting hit once is so gratifying

@@reviewreaper8508 I think he is talking about it when it first came out. Shit was a lot clunkier back then, even normal lab is dangerous.
I'ts main reason why i back to POE after 6 years. And this track was in my memory all the time
"There is a fine line between consideration and hesitation. The former is wisdom, the latter is fear."
I encounter this daily.
To entertain doubt is to dance with death
The Guide led the Warrior down a path
That wound and twisted
Through fields of blossoming promises.
Green-bladed hopes.
The Warrior closed his eyes.
A mere moment
To feel the warmth of the sun on his back,
And to drink from the Guide's proffered flask.
Now the Warrior staggers and crawls
Down the wounded, tortured causeway.
The bitterness stings his weeping eyes.
The fire roars in his belly,
Consuming him.
The Warrior will not ascend.
Instead he hunts.
Guided by his love for Ezomyr.
Ascend with precision
apparently, this is the ending you deserve *smashes keyboard*
"It is the sovereign who empowers the scepter, not the other way around"
Hesitation is defeat
You know you have played too much PoE when listening to the song triggers Izaro's voicelines and combat sound effects in your mind.

"Wisdom is the Offspring of Failure and Time"

Pity the emperor who sits alone on his throne.
Determination overcomes domination! This is the one law of sovereignty!
An emperor alone is just a man.
An aspirant can afford to be promising. An emperor must keep those promises!
"Complex machinations converge to a single act of power"
This is honestly movie-level music, absolutely stunning (shame its hard to pay attention to when trying not to die)
personally Caldera of the King blows this theme out of the water, also Avarius theme.
@@woodwyrm take a look on aTensions awesome work... ruclips.net/video/7gLZ_BDO3Mo/видео.html
that's the purpose of the soundtrack, to not distract the player and instead just set the _right_ mood
Those who stand should never outnumber those who kneel
As much as I fell in love what DPS builds this league, having a long dragged out fight against Izaro is always worth because of this song...
You have the imperial trumpets and choir of the Emperor, and the high-speed mechanical percussion of the Labyrinth.
Combined, you get Ghost Cyborg Emperor Badass.

A lot of people talk about the awesome choir, but I think the trumpets and violin need some love too.

Screw up for a couple of seconds in this fight = GG 30-60 minutes.

+Ilyak1986 Absolutely nothing wrong with playing in Softcore and going for as less deaths as possible.
Me:"Im gonna try the Hardcore League this time!"
Izaro: *I'm about to end this exile whole career*
So...what exactly is the point of HC? Other than complaining about it,I mean.

A random door trap:
I'm here to tell you right now this shit hits completely different on hardcore ruthless solo self found.
"Pity the emperor who sits alone on his throne."
I just ripped to Izaro, I don't regret a thing because this track made the whole experience worth it!
O, the weary traveller reaches the end of the path
Why he says that on the first encounter is beyond me.
he actually says "O, the weary traveller drows close to the end of the path"
It's trash talk. Basically saying "end of the road, punk".
More like Ohhhhhhh~~~
A time to perform beyond one's limits.
Dazed, reeling: about to break.
BTW, as of Prophecy...
MAP IZARO.
*Thwack*.
Justice...is served.
You are born for it. 你正是为此而生！
you know the music is godly when you intentionally slow down the boss fight so you could hear more of it
Man doing the lab is sometimes really stressful lol. But that's why it never gets old. Always keeps you on your toes.
What a shame i always die halfway into the track.
Fucking sword shockwave
What a rotten way to die.
"Justice has been served. "
Come on is not that hard. All Izaro's attacks are telegraphed first

at 2:27 omg ...the drums with orqestra!
A hymn that one would listen to at any given moment. Whether 'tis repeated or not, it will have the same effect as to when you have first heard it.
Would love an extended version so I dont have to click replay 10 times in a row :-D
Right click video, click on "Loop", enjoy.
@@darkzona1 there was the longer on here before, someone took it down.

Still one of the best boss fights in the game. As it doesn't have any of the later silly mechanics GGG later put into "end game" fights.
Just a straight fight avoiding his AOE's too... Too many fights involve 'you stand here and die' mechanics... Most all games seem to do that these days. Just a way to make it harder, even if you have sufficient gear/decent skill.
A bit before the ending drop sounds like Monster Hunter Theme
Don't give up yet!
Even today, this music makes me think of high wire circus performers. (but due to the context I am always scared of lacerates, poison spray bombs, and minion drain)
0:22 gives off a very threatening vibe
The theme of being deleted by his 2H Leap Slap.
I'm seeing this as a sort of Rescue theme right now
when theres a....
Judging from the Alpha footage we are in for a treat. Does not look unfair but still scary.
+rhodan74 the first two fights are fine. The THIRD fight is a hot mess because 90% of the room is a deathtrap, and the other 10% is left for Izaro to corner you in.
I got myself teleported to trap and then Izaro shot me on merciless.
It was truly anticlimactic, and I stared the screen for several minutes.
Izaro vs any Diablo 3 boss... would not even be a challenge.
It is the Emperor who empowers the scepter
Hours of law study say NOOOOO!
Not the other way around!
Prove yourself, acendant
i so love this game
wow god this is a theme !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for ever PoE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trying to listen to the music, but not die. On the other side though... some of my builds I kill him too quickly and want to hear it more.
ohhh so that's how it sounds after 1:40
Hope this boss hardness fits to that epic soundtrack )
