My first time through, Fiorayne teleported halfway across the map, leaving me alone with Garangolm for a short time. Then, as soon as 1:26 hit in the music, she came back in to the zone riding a Volvidon. One of the goofiest yet coolest moments I had with the game.
incredible theme. Hearing it during my first encounter with Lunagaron made that fight ridiculously epic. MH devs are masters at creating moments like these.
“A darkened castle, shrouded in night” “The bleeding moon brings nothing but fright” “Wolves prowl the icy lairs, looking for prey to rip and tear” “Beasts stalk the haunted swamp, anything that passes violently stomped” “A dragon lurks deep in the wreckage, waiting for night to bring hell on this passage” “Thirsty for blood, hungry for flesh, the monsters howl, roar and thresh” “Don’t go unarmed beneath the red moonlight, or your corpse shall be a ghastly sight.” *Land of the Lords: Citadel*
Yup, I was sure I'm not gonna like it (medieval themes kinda bore me), and from previews map for whatever reason seemed to be small. I ended up going on expeditions there for hours, just exploring it is so much fun.
It has so MUCH, I love it so much. Just wirebugging around it and exploring is a blast, and I love the sheer variety of monsters. Every area feels so different and so alive.
Don’t know if it’s locked, but my first Garangolm was a Golden Big Crown. With my Lance, that fight felt like I was facing a colossus. It was fucking awesome
It's definitely not pre-determined to be a big one, my Garangolm urgent had me thinking it was smaller than I expected, then after I found out it was gold crown smallest.
I had a crown Shagaru Magala. It's scary when the map gets covered in purple orbs and beams. This theme song has various memories for every individual and moments that happened in battle.
I mean, you'd figure it does when the whole expansion is medieval fantasy themed. And, as a DM that throws MH monsters at his players, you and I both know where this is going
Official: The Citadel Theme My View: Theme of when you anger Garangolm and he then murders your friend. You try to get away on your Palamute but he keeps up by rocketing himself at you and chases you across the damn map.
Funnily enough, my first fight in this area was against a Goss Harag, when i was helping a friend. This music fit that perfectly, it really felt like I was facing off against a mad ogre, one with new moves and perils I hadn't yet seen. Say what you will about the guy, but I think that fight turns boys to men in MR. Love that monster, and this theme makes it all the better.
I wish Goss Harag's Master Rank variant made it so he turned one of his hands into a Great Sword Ice Blade and he had to hold up that arm with his free arm due to the immense weight. Just the idea of Goss wielding that just seems so terrifying to me, I wish it were real.
Climax is probably a better word. Crescendo is the process in which music gradually increases in volume (and often intensity, as a result). There are plenty of crescendos in this theme, including the one that leads up to the climax. For example: The quick increase in volume at 1:24 is a crescendo, and the section that starts at 1:27 is the climax.
Maybe I’m just lucky but the brass section at 1:25 hits as soon as garangolm or lunagaron go enraged every single time in that map and it’s downright EUPHORIC
listening to that cello... I want to play double bass again. I know its a different instrument, but I miss the deep vibration going through my chest as I played... I gotta get the sheet music for this... And yea, I'm a HH main lol
That's what you call a gown-goated theme. These monsters are so beautiful! I love them. The map's theme is cool, too. I like how we can see Malzeno and Pyre with this still screen, makes it ominous, eerie, and kinda exciting. =)
I was dueling a giant crown Garangolm on a friend's PC once, when i was desperately trying to escape the enraged volcano gorilla trying to wreck my ass on a sliver of health, when a Lunagaron showed up. The exact second Lunagaron announced its presence with a howl, 1:25 hit. What a damn madlad. Best non-Zinogre wolf boi.
Any Guardians here? The beginning of this piece gives me HUGE Grasp of Avarice vibes. That aside, this has gotta be up in the top 5 Area themes in all of MH. I'm thinking Ruined Ridge, Rotten Vale, Guiding Lands, Citadel, then Jurassic Frontier/Hoarfrost Reach. Lemme know y'all's list!
@@chemi169 Eh, fits Garangolm way better. He's slow, super strong and brutish, much more fitting for those heavy brass instruments. Wolf lizard should have a faster-paced theme that highlights its relentlessness, speed and finesse.
@@marcobrancorsini2479 But Lunagaron going into fully enraged mode at 1:27 fits almost perfectly a ne it somehow happens a lot (that part lining up with the music I mean).
I notice a lot of people saying this theme fits Garangolm and Lunagaron, but I feel like this theme fits Goss Harag the best and should be his own personal theme. Especially when he gets those dual ice blades out, this track just hits you like his attacks.
I might get some hate for this but the theme for Citadel reminds me of the theme for a dungeon in Destiny 2 called Grasp of Avarice. Both are absolutely beautiful to listen to and i would highly recommend people give the Grasp of Avarice theme a listen to!
this is gonna be melted in to the back of my brain with the other area themes nevermind this fucking slaps it shall be placed next to Magnas theme on the shrine
Great theme for a great map. Nice choice of view, too! The atmosphere is incredible. I'm still utterly amazed by what they managed to pull off whilst targeting Switch hardware.
The Citadel looks so badass with Heaven's Mount in the background (I think it's Heaven's Mount as the only proof I have is that the Sanctuary is literally a zone in the locale and that the Shagaru is native there.)
As a challenge to myself, I played through all of Master Rank with my High Rank set. A defensive Gunlance set relying on Guard Reload for Offensive Guard and Artillery boosted Eruption Cannon for DPS. When I got to Lunagaron, under the moon, with this theme playing. It was when I knew I entered the big boys league. He went into that bipedal form and swung his massive claws at me and I held on to my shield for dear life. Any stray hit- let alone a mere overextension, would spell the end of me. But even through my shield I was taking so much chip damage that healing was mandatory. That music fit perfectly with the behemoth of a challenge that 40 minute fight was. Truly one of the most epic moments I've had in a video game.
I’m future games when Garangolm appears again I hope they just play this song instead of generic area music. Like how Rathalos theme is just the theme that plays in the area, but has become synonymous with Rathalos. I want this to become synonymous with Garangolm.
I like there's no overflow of "ooooh" "haaaah" or no 3 seconds stop interrupted by what sounds like a palico waking up, or no 10 seconds part where the theme gets random to sound different from original
Sounds eerie, inspires true danger. The first time I entered the Citadel the feeling was like a: "Consider yourself lucky to be alive here." Also, the goat monster is cute.
@@rockyvern2216 you need to find a way around - theres a tunnel that leads into it but its not where the map indicates a passage. I tried bombs at first too but that path is blocked
![Monster Hunter Wilds [OST] - Rey Dau BGM - Battle Theme](/img/1.gif)
Let’s all just collectively agree that this is the theme of Garangolm and Lunagaron. It fits both of them so well.
It really has that Lord vibe.
Hunting Horn agrees, Garangolm and Lunagaron horns both play snippets of the Citadel theme
Agreed.
Nope
For sure. Kinda like how the Rotten Vale's theme is perfect for Odogaron.
Anyone else think this was garangolm’s theme the first time they heard it?
yep
I find it weird that the 3 lords (besides Malzeno) don't get their own themes, like the fated 4
This fits him tbh. Slow, lumbering,brutish and powerful, Garangolm is a Force not to be trifled with.
@@arikaaa69 to be fair its really only the final bosses and flagship monsters that get their own themes. malzeno is the sole flagship for sunbreak unlike the fated four in gen
@@tikeyy6012 true, but then again monsters like Deviljho, Rajang and Bazel also get their own themes
1:50 I love how you can just randomly see Rakna-Kadaki go by
Judging by the color i think that's pyre-kadaki but idk probably because it's pretty far you can't see the shades clearly
@@gameoriginal4213 normal Rakna doesn’t have the red spikes/horns, normal Rakna also doesn’t live in this area. And yeah I like MH nature cams like this, seeing monsters minding their own business
2:20 Malzeno also randomly flying around
the music at 1:27 synced with Garangolm entering his enraged state during my first time fighting him and I got so hyped all of the sudden.
1:27 is the reason why I'm here searching for this track :)
My first time through, Fiorayne teleported halfway across the map, leaving me alone with Garangolm for a short time.
Then, as soon as 1:26 hit in the music, she came back in to the zone riding a Volvidon.
One of the goofiest yet coolest moments I had with the game.
You too?!
incredible theme. Hearing it during my first encounter with Lunagaron made that fight ridiculously epic. MH devs are masters at creating moments like these.
They masters at creating monsters and music to go along with the battles.
One of the best maps in the history of Monster Hunter
I love how varied it is
Fighting Lunagaron when it goes bipedal and does its big howl at 1:25 is ridiculously epic.
“A darkened castle, shrouded in night”
“The bleeding moon brings nothing but fright”
“Wolves prowl the icy lairs, looking for prey to rip and tear”
“Beasts stalk the haunted swamp, anything that passes violently stomped”
“A dragon lurks deep in the wreckage, waiting for night to bring hell on this passage”
“Thirsty for blood, hungry for flesh, the monsters howl, roar and thresh”
“Don’t go unarmed beneath the red moonlight, or your corpse shall be a ghastly sight.”
*Land of the Lords: Citadel*
Cheesy and cringe as the rhymes were, I missed them in Sunbreak xD
These are far from cheesy an cringe, they fit the sinister and dangerous vibes of the citadel so well
Stop being losers. Your job is to take the beasts down. Cut the shit, kids.
This is straight up one of the best area themes in the whole series
Lanf of guidance exist 🤷🏻♂️
And rotten vale, but i understand your choice
@@AlexThomas-oc3ht it had a theme?
Roars across the hinterlands? Ancestral steppe? The sea and land tremble? Murmurs from the land forbidden? So many great area themes man
I agree with you! really enjoyed this theme. Actually I believe this is a great theme to fight Lunagaron to be honest
I audibly said out loud “what the f*ck” when Garangolm launched itself across the arena
TWICE
i definitely wasn't expecting the big guy to move like that
Garangolm has a fucking rocket jump like it's playing Quake.
This is the best zone Capcom has EVER done in Monster Hunter, and that's saying a lot.

It's definitely not pre-determined to be a big one, my Garangolm urgent had me thinking it was smaller than I expected, then after I found out it was gold crown smallest.
I got a golden big crown as well, It definitely feels like sunbreak loves to go extreme with monster's heights
I got a golden small crown, and he got bodied lmao
It's not congrats on beating him at his strongest first try
I had a crown Shagaru Magala. It's scary when the map gets covered in purple orbs and beams. This theme song has various memories for every individual and moments that happened in battle.

@@marcobrancorsini2479 always nice to see another fan of the Monster Hunter Monster Manual. 👌🏻
1:45 to 1:55 is incredibly short, but also incredibly epic, I always love hearing this Bit in my fights against Lunagaron.
Being thrown into the air by Garangolm just as 1:25 hits got me so pumped during the fight, truly amazing theme.
0:43 hits hard
Dark and gritty
I had a Garangolm and a Lunagaron get in a turf war, and when Luna knocked down Golm it synced perfectly with this part.
This, along with the Garangolm fight, was when Sunbreak finally clicked to me. What a fucking incredible DLC
Intro sounds like pirates of the Caribbean song
yes thought the same thing, feels like it have some touch by hans zimmer
1:26 you can really connect this part into "Up Is Down" theme from At the world end POTC

This theme made my first fight with Lunagaron so intense, I almost forgot to breathe! Such an amazing theme!
you and me both. That first Lunagaron encounter combined with that theme is top 3 MH moments for me and I've been playing since MH2!
This theme somehow always perfectly times it’s crescendo (is that the right word?) to play at the best moments of a hunt

If this doesn't set your hunter's soul ablaze, you have no soul.
I love how reminiscent 1:27 is to “be brave” from the destiny franchise
horror
hunting an arzuros has never been more exhilarating with this theme
bruh, the cello is just so good
That's what you call a gown-goated theme.
These monsters are so beautiful! I love them. The map's theme is cool, too. I like how we can see Malzeno and Pyre with this still screen, makes it ominous, eerie, and kinda exciting. =)
What if we mixed a swamp, a fallen castle and an ice mountain into one map. That's the citadel right there.
Cant wait to hear every new theme!!!
Since Rise was my first (and only) Monster Hunter, I’m really happy Capcom made a locale similar to the Guiding Lands.
this theme does not get boring, i jam to it every time

Why is this song already nostalgic to me it only came out a few months ago
Edit: this part 1:22
I don't care what anyone says, this is Garangolm's theme. Rocket Leapin' Gorilla FTW!
YES.
For me I associate this theme closely with Lunagaron, feels wrong to fight him outside the Citadel

This hits different from any other theme
The Citadel looks so badass with Heaven's Mount in the background (I think it's Heaven's Mount as the only proof I have is that the Sanctuary is literally a zone in the locale and that the Shagaru is native there.)
@Cliffordin some reditions of the map the big rock in the middle isn't present.
Theme is sick. Citedel is a sick locale. Story is on point . Dont doubt monster hunter rise.
