Most dark souls 1 and 2 boss themes sound very alike without anything distinct to separate them. If it's a slow tune like Sif or Butterfly then yeah it sticks out, but the loud bombastic pieces are just loud and bombastic and kind of uninspired.
As someone who plays DS 1 soundtracks all the time on Spotify, I was genuinely surprised Manus and ceaseless discharge took me longer to answer than the rest.
Me: Thousand of hours on the game and the NG+ cycles, with Manus being the most difficult and time-wasting boss on the first encounter. Manus' BGM playing: "I've never met this man in my life."
There are some themes that are too iconic to ever get wrong, Artorias’ theme, Sif’s, Gwyns, ornstein and smough, and the butterfly’s theme. But then there’s the demon/chaos themes which all sound identical to each other with only slight variations.
@@justfun5479It's the music of the credits of the game but many people of the souls community believe the nameless song is the theme of your character (spoilers ahead) all bosses have unique music especially the lords and in both ends of the game you basically become a lord but your character real name is unkown (you can give a name to your character but in the game, your character don't speak and nobody knows his true name, so he is named as "The chosen undead" and by the fact the bosses musics are like, gwyn song, nito song, and your character don't have a name and by all this i've explained, nameless song is the theme of your character (or the chosen undead theme)
I don't know all of them - mainly the bosses I took out in one attempt (or the ones I've missed.) I've got to listen to the OST more. I love how recognisable some of them are though. Sif, Artorias, O&S, Gwyn, Taurus and bell gargoyles each only took a couple notes,
I only missed Priscilla and I was so disappointed with myself. Then again, I never could find it in myself to kill her (except once, for completion) Otherwise same, knew basically every song within 2 - 5 seconds.
I did pick out bed of chaos even though I haven't played the game in 3+ years but yeah I struggled (also picked out all the dlc since they sounded weird and I haven't played it) which ones stood out to you?
@@FreekinEkin2 I could never forget the stress inducing pace of the four kings. Ceaseless Discharge and Nito are probably on the more forgettable end for me.
Actually distinct, fitting and recognisable music for every boss. Imagine that. Sure is nicer than senseless constant choir with epic orchestra going AAAAA. How we've fallen
Got em all, the hardest for me was actually Priscilla since I kept thinking "Fair lady?" But remembered the "this world is peaceful, its inhabitants kind" meme
Every time I found a boss really challenging, I started to hum along with the boss music to get into the rhythm of the fight so I managed to get most pretty quickly.
This feels like a memorable boss test. Here are the ones that stand out for me: Pinwheel, Gwyndolin, Sif, Taurus Demon, Priscilla, Gwyn, Ornstein & Smough, Artorias, Nameless Song. Bell Gargoyle theme is also special but I forgot which boss it was.
Sometimes I can't hear clear the theme at the same time we're fighting, but some of these I guessed right because they make me think to an specific boss, for example the Iron Golem, I had no idea about how is it's theme but it's theme make me to think about it, same with Quelaag
you know the game is well done when u can recognize what the theme is for by the tone alone,was able to easily guess artorias and the duo simply by the music i only played the game once and forgot about the music
If you get any of these wrong, it's because there's not enough time to guess based on most of their very similar openings. Pinwheel, Centipede Demon, Moonlight Butterfly, and Gwyn are easy from a glance because they're unique, but many others start off as generic opera tracks.
These songs are all so engraved into my soul that the only two I got wrong were mixing up Seath and Bed of Chaos, and the other two I didn't INSTANTLY remember I figured out accurately by process of elimination and tone reading (Sanctuary Guardian, Kalameet)
For someone who didn't spend 100 hours in this game, getting multiple right kinda surprises me. Got ornstein and smough, and even got some of the multiple boss ones by guessing every single boss. I am super impressed with myself. Some parts of this game are more memorable than others though.
I haven't played in a couple of years, but I only got one wrong. This video made me appreciate the themes within the instruments and rhythms of the soundtrack; it's easy to discern which bosses are related to each other because of those themes, like the demons - the only reason I got Ceaseless Discharge right was because I knew it was a demon based on the vocals and instruments.
It's funny, I can probably fight Manus while sleeping, I fully remember his moveset, special effects of his attacks and etc. Yet I don't remember a single sound of his ost...
Missed Kalameet (My brain just couldn't connect the dots despite being very familiar with the boss and his theme, Brain Fart I guess) and Priscilla (I don't fight her often enough to hear her theme).
I knew all of them except for Sanctuary Guardian theme, I literally was like "wait which boss had that, no bo- WHAT". I just never got a good chance to listen to it I guess
Since I've played DS1 the least, only around 200-300 hours total, I'm amazed that I got them all. I damn near failed at Four Kings because it's the mid section of that theme that's memorable and you took the start which sounds a lot alike with many other themes, but after that it was a breeze.
I’m playing for the first time, and haven’t really been paying attention to the music. Imagine my surprise when I managed to get all but 3 right. I went through the entire first 17, but then I completely forgot that the gargoyles were even a boss
13 out of 17 (because I never played the dlc) really bad considering I was stuck with almost all of them for an eternity and had to listen to their music
I got confused between manus and nito, didn't recognise discharge or sanctuary guardian since they're forgettable and I usually only fight them once per playthrough lol
19 out of 22, missed Four Kings, Priscilla and Ceaseless. Sanctuary Guardian was a bit of a lucky guess though. This really made me want to play DS1 again.
Man for me the actual difference between the game and the dlc is like a huge difference for the opera music and ds3 style .. hits almost like not the same game even with the bosses like manus with big amount of mouvement set and artorius etc... Ty for the vid tho❤
Literally the only one I got wrong with the sanctuary guardian cuz that's the boss I have remember fighting the least probably the fact I can guess almost the entire soundtrack because I've been playing the game for 9 years
i missed; capra demon/centipde sanctuary guardian iron golem/stray demon bed of chaos manus interesting to see how different many people here performed.
It's the same in all the Dark Souls games. The composers are obsessed with constant "ooh aah" choirs and the same instrumentation for every track. That's what makes Pinwheel's track here unique and interesting, because it doesn't sound like all the other tracks. I just went out of curiosity to listen to the DS3 OST and skipped around the OST, and every part i skip to, it sounds like i'm listening to the same track.
Man, i played this game more often than i can count so suffice to say i was pretty confident going in this but yet i still got like a third wrong, the ones that are used for multiple bosses usually got me but also the 4 kings theme cuz it apparently has it's most recognizable part 15 seocnds in lol

@@shacuras8201 hahaha yeah sorry how could I be so foolish
Thanks for giving us 12 seconds more of Pinwheel's theme than the average player hears of it

i’m actually surprised how many i got wrong

I'd argue that the Bed of Chaos is memorable because of how many times you have to hear that STUPID HARP INTRO
I doubt we ever heard MORE than 15 seconds of poor Pinwheel's theme XD
It’s the exact reason I guessed it so quickly! Like, I would remember this theme a lot more if it was any other boss that I had to fight fight XD
If you go to him immediately after leaving the asylum he actually takes a little while to beat. I even died to him once doing that.

which ones stood out to you?
you meant "unimpressive"
But they really don‘t? They share a theme and consistency with the choirs going on and all but they are hardly identical.
i made my comment before watching the video and now i disagree. the themes do have defining characteristics
Honestly, i feel most boss themes feel both identical to one another and also completely unique and I don't know how thats possible
Missed Sanctuary Guardian. Confidently guessed Manus in 2 seconds and I’m not ashamed to admit it
Same!
You’re not the only one 😭
I will never forget Ornstein and Smough.

I didnt get seath until the last 5 seconds, that part is unmistakable
Listening to this soundtrack for the past 12 years paid off! I knew every theme within the first 3-5 seconds
Same, in fact it was harder to remember the names of the bosses than to recognize the music
the bonus song hit hard not gonna lie 😥
Missed Sif Priscilla and Kalameet.
Priscilla was the one I felt most people could miss unless you look forward to the painted world every playthrough
How did you miss sif he is a mandatory boss???

Every time I found a boss really challenging, I started to hum along with the boss music to get into the rhythm of the fight so I managed to get most pretty quickly.
Only Sanctuary Guardian, Nito and Manus were difficult to figure out. Tells how memorable and solid the ost is overall.

I find funny that i knew the bed of chaos song from the first second it started, i cant forget that first few seconds
Got all of them right, I've probably have played this game way to much. Still not gonna stop.
Anyone who played Dark Souls isn't getting Bed of Chaos wrong, and they can tell by the sudden sick feeling they get from hearing it.
I think if you have a hard time figuring out which music is which boss's theme you most likely defeated that boss very easily. (at least from my case)
Pinwheel
Or you were too focused on the fight to stop and appreciate
Its mostly bosses I dont fight like kalameet or gaping dragon
Listening to the soundtrack really helped me get all of those
300 hours of Dark Souls and I got like 90% of these wrong

was fun to try after not playing the game for years. definitely got a lot wrong tho
Basically every ds1 boss themes: ah--, ah--, ah--, ah--, ah--, ah------
As it turns out, I needed to hear less than a second to identify most of these. An 8 minute video turned into a 1 minute experience.
