There’s a dude on RUclips who made a video about why they are no god of war og music on Spotify you should like make a video on it and get captain Cuba to acknowledge it so we can’t like create a domino effect to get it more attention
Without watching, my guesses, not in any order: - Splendor of Athens - Pursuing Destiny - Athens Warehouse (he called it Challenge of Poseidon) - Gates of Athens (mini game theme) - Exploring the Isle UPD after watching: So I was 3/5, not bad lol, actually had the Architect them on there but removed it lol. Really can't go wrong, the ambient tracks in gow slap, I'm more of a gow2 man, but 1 dominating this list makes perfect sense too. Good sh-t Zesty
The soundtrack from God of War 1 is one of the reasons it's my favorite in the series. The vibe it gives you is something that was mostly lost in the next games.
Amazing video, good to see someone standing out GOW's most overlooked tracks, this series has one of the best soundtrack I have ever heard in any piece of media, in my top 3 alonside the Soulsborne games for sure.
For me I don't know my exact ranking tbh , but I know for sure my two favorites when it comes to calm osts . It's always melody of pandora and splendor of Athens that sh*t slaps me every time
Ambient music from the old games is so underrated, thank you for this video, Zesty. While the new games can compete sometimes in the terms of loud music, ambient background music is nowhere near as good and memorable as in the Greek saga. It's so special, i love it.
It's official THE OLD ZESTY IS BACK BABY 🔥🔥🔥 I'm really happy about you getting back to YT Much love brotha Also I'm shocked you didn't put Pandora's hope theme i forget whatever it name is
Splendor of Athens kicks so much ass! You know, It's not always easy being a GOW fan nowadays, but this little community built around your videos does make me a little more hopeful for the future. Nice video as always, Zesty!
My favorite calm music in general is the part in Ragnarok when you first see the Odin statue at the start of the game after getting the sonic arrows. It feels like Rome or something. But my favorite is also the Valhalla sound when Kratos peers back at his throne at the end.
Man, the Splendor of Athens is definitely my number one, it feels very good, very comforting and calm, while still reminding you, that you're in the Ancient Greece. And by the way, the choir you mentioned, it only kicks in in the in-game version, that's the main (but not the only) difference between it and the OST version. So yeah, in-game SoA my top-tier.
There is an unnamed track that plays in GOW 2 after the “ why do you aid me Gaia” cutscene plays. It doesn’t play in any of the other GOW games and i never see anyone talk about it. It’s a pretty good Calm track. Hope you check it out
A TOP 5 VIDEO FROM ZESTY? AM I DREAMING? LESS GOOO But don't burn out yourself, or else the last thing that happened will happen again Also i wanna say thank you for the NUR+ commentaries. They really helped a lot. I'm at HCB in GoW 3 and just collected heras necklace in GoW 1. All in NUR+
It's wise to focus on one challenge run at a time. Else you run the risk of getting rusty if you happen to get too invested in one (and de-rusting while at the endgame of another is a bad call).
@@MrWrightFine advice, but if I get rusty it should not take to long for me to get into it again. I also balance out my playing between all the GoW games
@@MrWright true. The GoW 3 scorp were really fucking me over and the HCB is also. GoW 1 is not as hard as GoW 3 Scorpussy and HCB (although i expect to struggle a lot on CW)
Great list Zesty, your #4 is my personal #1. That one when you do the "Challenge of Atlas" is good...if i wasn't dying 15-30 times jumping those saw blades like every 20ft and failing miserably 😒😮💨😡🤬
Almost most of songs clam songs are in god of war 1 and that's why in non action period game still make our attention to game and make us interested towards game. Which i miss in other god of war games. And mostly in norse saga then after some greek saga
That is an amazing list! But my personal number 1 is Melody of Pandora from God of War 3. Everytime I replay the Greek games I always just stop when I get to Hades I just sit there for awhile and just listen because it is just so good, it’s also one of my most listened to well working on something.
I recall I vivacious tune either before or after meeting Eos in chains of Olympus. I fondly recall female vocals singing softly and slowly, almost similar to the opening theme of AC Revelations
Here is my top 5 calm gow soundtrack 1: Svartlheim (when exploring, not in combat) 2: holding on (gow Ragnarök) 3: challenge of Poseidon 4: A giants prayer 5: Mimir
I completely agree that GoW1’s ambiences were built different so good I always start hearing them when I am all alone and they are dark gritty bleak and add necessary sense of dread and mystery to the game which makes it’s atmosphere immersion vibe and tone all come up so well together and make it so great the best in the series. 9:07 this one for example is a music for a sad soul going though the toughest journey don’t want don’t deserve it just have to do it I would love to add dark odyssey from GoW2 it gives the game this sense of adventure that I love
Very interesting and based list, mine personally is (worst to best): 1. Pursuing Destiny 2. Challenge of Atlas (calm) 3. Eos, Goddess of Dawn 4. Splendour of Athens 5. Seize Your Fate (yes I count this song calm).
In my honourable mentions would also be the Sewers of Athens, the Temple of the Oracle and Enthroned on Mount Olympus. The first one i think is the most calm version of Kratos' theme that with time turning into something completely unrecognisable and eerie, but in the game itself you probably didn't hear that part, it's short, but in the game it plays even shorter time. The second one is very ominous and mysterious, but at the same time calm and kinda hopeless. The version that plays in the end of the game (Return to Oracle's Temple) is even more hopeless, and it makes perfect sense. Beautiful sound overall. The third one is describing itself when you hear it. It's "your ultimate reward" - the song. Very calming, hopeful, cheering and uplifting, plays in perfect spots as well - getting the Pandora's box, ascending on Olympus. Oh, and these three tracks are also from the first game btw, so there's definitely a theme here, Zesty 😅
My list would be this but instead of pursuing destiny is have exploring ruins as #1 Ik ik, that makes it a full on GoWI playlist, but hey, it's just THAT good🤷🏻
Here is mine: #5 atlas theme (calm) - gow 2 #4 dungeons - gow 2 #3 Eos, goddess of dawn - gow chains of olympus #2 chamber of the flame - gow 3 #1 dark odyssey - gow 2
Sooo good. It originated from GoW2 but was very poorly used in that game (at the very end of the translator fight). In Chains of Olympus tho... they did the track justice.
Bro pls do this for the other games as well. i can't wait for the Pandora's melody like in the underworld. Pls talk about that someday, it's so special for me 😢
@@ExtremeGameplays1 there's track in gow 2 you can find it in the section where you have to rotate platform in order to reach the Cerberus boss fight who's eating Jason. Can you please give me the name of that track it's really great
@@dantealgre5631 I can't tell exactly which one you mean. Here's a tip. Search for God of War 2 OST on RUclips, go the playlist and it has all the tracks in chronological order. I'm sure you'll find it there.
I miss the mysterious aspect to the music in the new games, i think it amplifies mythology setting, 'cause, you know - mythology is mysterious and magical. Maybe it doesn't fit the tone anymore, but i don't remember any music pieces like the Architect's Mysteries in the Norse saga.

Raebs Lament lol. There is like an ton of greek background tracks that deserve the spot more.
Raeb's lament is more depressing than it is calm.
Temple of Atropos is fire too
@@godofkarma1260im invested, who posted it, I want to watch it
*Calm and Reasonable Music*
The vengeful spartan is totally very calm and reasonable
The calmest.
Without watching, my guesses, not in any order:
- Splendor of Athens
- Pursuing Destiny
- Athens Warehouse (he called it Challenge of Poseidon)
- Gates of Athens (mini game theme)
- Exploring the Isle
UPD after watching: So I was 3/5, not bad lol, actually had the Architect them on there but removed it lol. Really can't go wrong, the ambient tracks in gow slap, I'm more of a gow2 man, but 1 dominating this list makes perfect sense too. Good sh-t Zesty
Well, You guessed 2 of them, (splendor and Pursuing)
Exploring the isle and Athens warehouse are both way too good as well
Close, sonny.
Y'can't go wrong with them ambients.
The soundtrack from God of War 1 is one of the reasons it's my favorite in the series.
The vibe it gives you is something that was mostly lost in the next games.
Just like Batman Arkham Asylum and devil may cry 1
But hey at least GoW kept some of it unlike the other two were they lost it completely
Your thoughts are exactly same as me man, happy to see it
1.seize your fate
2.Exploring isle
3.Athens Warehouse
4.Splendor of Athens
5.Pursuing Destiny
God of War 1 and 2 have the best ambient tracks ever. The games wouldn't be the same without them.
Splendor of Athens is my favorite from this list. its pretty goooooood.
God of War soundtrack always have been beautiful.
This is the most calm and reasonable video zesty has ever made
Finally the architect mystery getting it's justice
FR FR FR FR MAN
True, GoW Collection did it dirty, because of the annoying bug it becomes easy to overlook it's beauty
Amazing video, good to see someone standing out GOW's most overlooked tracks, this series has one of the best soundtrack I have ever heard in any piece of media, in my top 3 alonside the Soulsborne games for sure.
For me I don't know my exact ranking tbh , but I know for sure my two favorites when it comes to calm osts . It's always melody of pandora and splendor of Athens that sh*t slaps me every time
God Of War having ''calm'' Music is wild to hear...they usually play when you're doing puzzles and stuff.
Oh it has a lot.
I love splendour of athens so much
Ambient music from the old games is so underrated, thank you for this video, Zesty. While the new games can compete sometimes in the terms of loud music, ambient background music is nowhere near as good and memorable as in the Greek saga. It's so special, i love it.
After you climb out of Hades in GoW2 in the start of the game I just like to stand there and listen to the theme
its been a while since we have seen a top 5 and this is going to be a hell of a banger
Calm reasonable soundtrakcs
Great vid! One of my favorite soundtracks is: Aletheia's Last Vision from Ascension
God of War music always slaps no matter what kind of music taste you have
man i loved you videos so much that i can't stop myself watching all of them
Dude I’ve been waiting so long for this video finally 😭😭
Amazing as always Extreme. Keep it up!
The splendor of athens is my absolute #1
It's official
THE OLD ZESTY IS BACK BABY 🔥🔥🔥
I'm really happy about you getting back to YT
Much love brotha
Also I'm shocked you didn't put Pandora's hope theme i forget whatever it name is

Really happy to see your videos ( top 5, let's argue , comparison)💋❤️
Splendor of Athens kicks so much ass!
You know, It's not always easy being a GOW fan nowadays, but this little community built around your videos does make me a little more hopeful for the future. Nice video as always, Zesty!
Yeah. Being a Gears Of War fan nowadays is hard.
My favorite calm music in general is the part in Ragnarok when you first see the Odin statue at the start of the game after getting the sonic arrows. It feels like Rome or something. But my favorite is also the Valhalla sound when Kratos peers back at his throne at the end.
Splendor of Athens and Pursuing Destiny are definitely the two of the best. Also great you got back to Top 5s
Great opinion and challenge of poseidon is just something else
great choices
Man! Awesome!
Have you heard Auditorium of Atropos?
One of my absolute favourites with splendour of Athens!
My favorite type of top five for my birthday ❤❤❤
Happy birthday.
This video was calming
The Bathhouse - God of War 2
Beautiful
YEAHHHH THE AGE OF TOP 5’S IS BACK BABYYYY🗿
Man, the Splendor of Athens is definitely my number one, it feels very good, very comforting and calm, while still reminding you, that you're in the Ancient Greece. And by the way, the choir you mentioned, it only kicks in in the in-game version, that's the main (but not the only) difference between it and the OST version. So yeah, in-game SoA my top-tier.
I honestly could listen to Splendor of Athens all day. Such an amazing piece of music.
There is an unnamed track that plays in GOW 2 after the “ why do you aid me Gaia” cutscene plays. It doesn’t play in any of the other GOW games and i never see anyone talk about it. It’s a pretty good Calm track. Hope you check it out
It is nice, it reminds me of MK Deception's Konquest ambient for some reason
A TOP 5 VIDEO FROM ZESTY? AM I DREAMING? LESS GOOO
But don't burn out yourself, or else the last thing that happened will happen again
Also i wanna say thank you for the NUR+ commentaries. They really helped a lot. I'm at HCB in GoW 3 and just collected heras necklace in GoW 1. All in NUR+

@@MrWrightFine advice, but if I get rusty it should not take to long for me to get into it again. I also balance out my playing between all the GoW games
@@Emilos641 Depends on how hard something can be. Remember Zesty vs Skorp. 3 hours with no breakthroughs.
@@MrWright true. The GoW 3 scorp were really fucking me over and the HCB is also. GoW 1 is not as hard as GoW 3 Scorpussy and HCB (although i expect to struggle a lot on CW)
@@Emilos641 >on CW
A given, considering it's bonus credit. Note that I didn't even bother grinding it until after PAIN (which came after NUR+).
God Of War really got the greatest gaming music in my opinion 🔥💯
Yeah, Gears' music is truly good.
@@MrWrightI’ve made it a habit of mines to search for your Gears joke in every comment section 🤣. Haven’t failed yet.
The best.
@@SheikhShaikh1 Glad to know.
Its great. But I think Mario and Zelda is forever both number one.
The resident evil save room reference is so accurate
yeah those songs calm me down too
Zesty you're a f* legend . I was literally looking for a calm god of war playlist to listen to and this video pops up . man's a mind reader 💎🔥🔥
Make sure to also read the honorable mentions. And Midgard Chronicler's comment.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 I sure did ❤
Check out GOWSoundtrack channel, there's almost a 1,5 hour long video with calm/relaxing music
Great list Zesty, your #4 is my personal #1. That one when you do the "Challenge of Atlas" is good...if i wasn't dying 15-30 times jumping those saw blades like every 20ft and failing miserably 😒😮💨😡🤬
Almost most of songs clam songs are in god of war 1 and that's why in non action period game still make our attention to game and make us interested towards game. Which i miss in other god of war games. And mostly in norse saga then after some greek saga
Yooo guys zesty is on fire these days and I'm all for it
Exploring The Isle and Pursuing Destiny (calm) are my top 2.
My favourite gow is 2 and I LOVE the end begins
Splendor of Athens in the top 5 lets goooooo
Top 2 for me would be:
Splendor of Athens🎶
Melody of Pandora 🎶
That is an amazing list! But my personal number 1 is Melody of Pandora from God of War 3. Everytime I replay the Greek games I always just stop when I get to Hades I just sit there for awhile and just listen because it is just so good, it’s also one of my most listened to well working on something.
Melody of Pandora almost made the list.
You deserve 1 million subs
These soundtracks can literally scare the shit outta person even listening in daylight
Seize your fate is my all time favorite it's just otherworldly.
It's not calm tho.
God of war 1: Best calm & chill tracks
God of war 2: Best Powerful & Aggressive tracks
God of war 3: Something in between GoW1 & GoW2
I needed this, gotta to calm myself before my negative thoughts posses me
Cool down, Kratos.
I recall I vivacious tune either before or after meeting Eos in chains of Olympus. I fondly recall female vocals singing softly and slowly, almost similar to the opening theme of AC Revelations
Eos, Godess of Dawn?
TOP 5!!
I just replayed god of war one , and music slaps hard
Less gooooo another top five babyyyy 🔥🔥🔥
i love Pandora's melody from god of war 3
Melody of pandora🔥🔥🔥
Here is my top 5 calm gow soundtrack
1: Svartlheim (when exploring, not in combat)
2: holding on (gow Ragnarök)
3: challenge of Poseidon
4: A giants prayer
5: Mimir
Hmm. Surprised you don't have the GoW4 Nifleheim track in here.
Bro for me u got 3 of them right but my top one place is “Enthroned on mount Olympus” by the goat winifred Philips and Pandora’s Box 📦
I completely agree that GoW1’s ambiences were built different so good I always start hearing them when I am all alone and they are dark gritty bleak and add necessary sense of dread and mystery to the game which makes it’s atmosphere immersion vibe and tone all come up so well together and make it so great the best in the series. 9:07 this one for example is a music for a sad soul going though the toughest journey don’t want don’t deserve it just have to do it
I would love to add dark odyssey from GoW2 it gives the game this sense of adventure that I love

The architect mysteries is my #1
Very interesting and based list, mine personally is (worst to best):
1. Pursuing Destiny
2. Challenge of Atlas (calm)
3. Eos, Goddess of Dawn
4. Splendour of Athens
5. Seize Your Fate (yes I count this song calm).
The Architect's Mysteries is the #1 on my list
In my honourable mentions would also be the Sewers of Athens, the Temple of the Oracle and Enthroned on Mount Olympus.
The first one i think is the most calm version of Kratos' theme that with time turning into something completely unrecognisable and eerie, but in the game itself you probably didn't hear that part, it's short, but in the game it plays even shorter time.

Oh, and these three tracks are also from the first game btw, so there's definitely a theme here, Zesty 😅
The sewers of Athens is underrated. I legit stopped and just sat there so I could hear the whole thing because I never noticed it before
Man... Temple of the Oracle...
I just added it to my comment. Thanks for reminding me of that masterpiece.
#4 is my favorite 😍
also I was searching for it is name and couldn’t find it ,thanks
god of war 1 - pandoran cyclops attack is mad underrated. trust me listen to it
TELL 'EM TO BRING OUT THE WHOLE LOBSTER 🗣🗣🔥🔥💣💥
YEAH. ALL THESE Z'S... I JUST RAN THROUGH.
Please make part 2 of this video
My list would be this but instead of pursuing destiny is have exploring ruins as #1
Ik ik, that makes it a full on GoWI playlist, but hey, it's just THAT good🤷🏻
You're the first person ever whom I've seen denoting GoW1 with a Roman number.
@@MrWright you've known me for around 4 months now, you shouldn't be surprised, at all.
Exploring Ruins is awesome. Added it to the Honorable Mentions.
Yo Zesty, hope you are having a fine day
Thanks bud. You too.
1. The Path
2. Letting go
3. Remembering Faye
4. Raeb's Lament
5. Holding on
It's not a pure instrumental track, but the fall of helios is one of the best "calm but epic" soundtracks in the gow games imo
The splendor of Athens gives me a sad and melancholic vibe of what athens used to be, in a way I think it's describing how kratos feels for the city.
Btw I love the fact that you actually got back to making top 5 I really like it.
Zesty resurgence arc is 🔥🔥 so far
Not going to give u up my boi zesty even if you upload once a decade
Here is mine:
#5 atlas theme (calm) - gow 2
#4 dungeons - gow 2
#3 Eos, goddess of dawn - gow chains of olympus
#2 chamber of the flame - gow 3
#1 dark odyssey - gow 2
Prime zesty is back
For me Eos goddess of dawn takes the number one spot. Those vocals in the end are just too majestic
Sooo good. It originated from GoW2 but was very poorly used in that game (at the very end of the translator fight).
In Chains of Olympus tho... they did the track justice.
Yo, does anyone know the name of the song that plays in the music puzzle in gow 3?
Lofi "god of war" music to "slaughter medusa's head" to😊😇😇😇😇
Come on with that pfp.
No words
Bro pls do this for the other games as well. i can't wait for the Pandora's melody like in the underworld. Pls talk about that someday, it's so special for me 😢
This list includes ALL God of War games. Melody of Pandora _is_ in the honorable mentions tho
It's combination of Indian and Arabic melodies so beautiful and charming and captivating
Hmmm... I actually never thought of that.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 there's track in gow 2 you can find it in the section where you have to rotate platform in order to reach the Cerberus boss fight who's eating Jason. Can you please give me the name of that track it's really great

Neewer N-8000
nah bro rage of sparta makes me very calm
I miss the mysterious aspect to the music in the new games, i think it amplifies mythology setting, 'cause, you know - mythology is mysterious and magical. Maybe it doesn't fit the tone anymore, but i don't remember any music pieces like the Architect's Mysteries in the Norse saga.
u can make top 5 on tracks that are chaotic like glory of sparta
Of course.
when gow Ascension no damage
😀😀
I was waiting to see Pandora's melody from Gow3
Honorable Mention.
You a little baddie, Zesty
Splendor of Athens is number one for me
Nah, my man. Splendor of Athens will always hit the hardest. (in this context)
