@@alvarosolorzano5405I'm glad Pantheon made people respect Nezarec more, even though he's a pushover in game he's supposed to be the closest thing to a Lovecraft entity.
It doesn't reach the highest highs of Rhulk, Nezerac, or Riven's themes, but I think this track doesn't try to. Since a more heroic track is used during the 12 man mission to defeat the Witness, this track is used to convey the intensity and urgency of the raid battle, which in turn makes it so this is one of the darkest and most oppressive tracks in the series' history. Rhulk and Nezerac blare heroic horns and epic strings during big moments; here, whenever the track tries to take a more positive turn, it's ripped away from us, and the Witness/Darkness motifs consume the song once again. There's no comfort in the music, just urgency
Yep, the raids point is not to kill the witness, rather it's not the focus of it. Your focus is to stop the Final Shape, the end of all life in the universe
Yea, I noticed this too in the objective for the 5th encounter which is just “Stop the Final Shape” not “Unmake the Witness” which is why I like this one comparatively
0:43 when the dreaming city motif kicks in, where on contest of this boss ppl used cayde’s sniper to beat the witness - THEY KNEW WHAT WAS GONNA BE META
The witness is in its final stand, there’s no more imminent end, or darkness prevailing, the raid timer says the final shape, this is it. You stop the final shape now or everyone dies simple, no exceptions, if the witness commits to this and isn’t stopped it’s over. The reason this soundtrack is not as heroic as the rest is because the purpose behind it is SERIOUS if you don’t rush to stop this it’s over for everyone, your act of courage here is to save the universe. Not a single threat you’ve faced up until now was this close to destroying everything you loved, sacrificed, built from the ground up. Even after losing the last city that wasn’t even close to the threat this brings. We’re in a battle against a force so much more powerful then us, the odds are stacked so high against us that there’s barely any hope we can prevail, but if what we can muster is able to persist and succeed then we may have a chance. This OST represents this statement in every motif
Since it appears in the Witness fight, I've thought of it as “knocking” since they’ve got so many hands. It's so satisfying so I'm glad people are posting isolated versions of the song now (ones separate from the past)
@@Tau_Aquila him and rotem moav carrying destiny 2 music but nothing is ever done without salvatori. so glad he had the chance to work on the music before he was unfortunately laid off
Just did my first run of Salvation's Edge with my friends and to everyone saying this doesnt fit The Witness, you could not possibly be more wrong. This theme plus the Final Shape counter on top of the screen was the most nerve racking thing ive experienced in this series. I loved Excision, but the artistry behind this raid was nothing short of immaculate.
I personally love this track. It never truly sounds like you're winning except maybe that small the wilds motif after dps. But even then, it gets almost immediately drowned out by the pyramid theme. I'm willing to bet that the only reason why your fireteam is able to live at all is because the witness is trying to juggle dealing with you and the final shape at the same time.
thats exactly whats goin on. The entire raid, all encounters have "Final Shape Looming" debuff timer. Even final encounter has that, and it only resets when you actively hurt this asshole.
In Verity (encounter 4) The timer switches too from "Final Shape Looming" to "Imminent End" stressing the urgency even further until witness himself just has "Final Shape". No looming. No imminent. It WILL happen in 5 minutes if you dont do something to slow him down.
I also think the travelers resistance and your fireteam being chosen by the traveler makes defeating the witness possible. Using what strength it has left to empower the fireteam
Its not.. its the particular calling card of the composer. Yes, composers have their own motif that they like to inject. almost everything that Mosser worked on has that
I just wanna say, I’m so happy that even after all the crap you’ve been through, that this community thanks you greatly…even though your library is not as it was, I’m happy to have seen this ride till then end, all ten years All hail the archival mind, a vex construct of knowledge and wisdom
Would be really cool if Bungie did a small teaser to thank some of the channels who upload stuff like this. Could imagine just a small radio you could activate with some random tunes and an announcer popping on if you listen for a while saying "you're listening to last city radio" or a random vex mind in the distance called promethion
@@BloodyArchangelusyes, the witness is no more but it’s forces still remain. It also left a massive power vacuum of those who followed it. Who will fill it is yet to be found out if anyone. It’s fitting in its last few words it says “we, I don’t understand” which shows it’s accepted that it’s lost majority of the souls that used to be one. We liberated them
There's that one little tune that plays right after you exit DPS and I swear it's the greatest 5 second melody this music team has ever made. 1:23 - 1:35
Its defintely up there with the "SIVA Density Critical" portion of the Aksis Boss Theme from Wrath of the Machine. Its the only other portion of a theme that elicits a similar feeling from me whenever i hear it
I love how the silhouette of the Witness is genuinely terrifying looking, but then you look at his mushroom head, googly eyes and Megamind spiky collar and it starts to look funny 😂
It’s representation of Hindu god Bhairav an avtar of Shiva one of strongest Avtar of Lord Shiva tbf and only summoned if Universe decides that it need creation before destruction ie at least in Hinduism This is per ex-comm manager who are not under NDA now
Well, because it is disappointed in us! It literally created its own ideal versions of the guardians via statues in Iconoclasm and Salvation's Edge that you can see in the Verility encounter. It offered us endless plunder. It offered us quote "Untested power and unlimited Challenge" and we spit in its face and fought against it! It's such a brilliant progression from how dismissive it is of us at first, to convincing us to join it, to sheer apathy and rage.
@@ianmills6260 I know people want to call it Fear, but it wasn't scared of us. It undermined our strength up until the end of the raid. It grew disappointed in us bc in the Verility encounter the timer is no longer "Final Shape Looming" and it's much more direct that The Witness wants to stomp us out. Then when we get it to half health in Salvation's Edge it becomes wary. Then in Excision when you enter the Dissenter room the second time, that's when the fear strikes it. You can tell the shift from the voice acting.
I may have stopped playing destiny awhile ago, but that doesn’t mean I stopped liking it. The story, the visuals, and of course the music, it’s all so good. It’s been a wild ride, but Destiny will always have a special place in my heart.
Do this, but include the cool witness theme intro with the deep brass whenever you go up the elevator, before transitioning right into action If you want. Regardless thanks for making this
Probably my second favorite track behind The First Disciple. In-game, this theme, plus "The Final Shape Looms" wipe timer hit completely different from past raids. It really felt like the losing end of an uphill battle.
@@adamboy0559 well that's kinda why I'm askin them to release it- since I couldn't find it on the album. The encounter space is called Verity, but the raid obj is 'See Beyond', which neither are listed in the official ost album
Its a variation of Give Yourself To Darkness but its way more forboding and menacing than the official version. I also want a raid version upload so badly
Hey, would you happen to know the name of the songs from the raid in the soundtrack? This raid’s music was a particular banger and I’d want to know what they are
1st encounter is Cosmic Tides/Precipice, 2nd encounter is Herald of Finality, 3rd encounter is Thresh/Metacarpus, 4th encounter is a remix of Dissenter/Give Yourself to Darkness and then the final encounter is First Knife/Unmade.
This track has my favourite rendition of literally all of the darkness motifs. The Witness' motif, Salvation, Subjugated, ALL of them. Destiny's future may be in the shit atm, but I will never talk bad about it's soundtrack, or the quality of Final Shape
I fully understand the reluctance people have with bungie recently with layoffs, episodes not being much different than seasons, etc, But I still think in terms of a looter shooter it does not get better than Destiny and the music also SLAPS every. single. time.
@goldengamers2604 I made this comment during a 1 month break, and now I'm back running GMs and currently grinding Solo Explicator. Destiny is still really fun when you don't dedicate 24 hours a day, 8 days a week to purely playing Destiny huh?
@@bepisaxe4464 I just wish I could get my friends back on Destiny to just run some raids or somethin lmao. They always come back so why not now after not playing for a couple months?
I like it, but it sounds too similar to Rhulks theme because of the pacing. I would have prefered it to be slower like a proper showdown, then bring in the intensity near the end.
I found The First Disciple to be significantly slower than this, especially in-game. Rhulk doesn't amp up until DPS, The Witness is all gas no brakes at our throats from encounter 1.
Destiny Music Archive will handle the base versions of Herald of Finality but I'll get to its script, as well as the scripts for all three Witness fights, in a bit.
Fully expect this to be controversial, but I feel a little disappointed by this track. It doesn't feel like it matches the epic vibe that The First Disciple and Oneirophobia have. It's a great track but it just feels like those are a notch above imo
It’s not just you. I have a similar overall sentiment towards the track when I first heard it during the world’s first team that completed the raid. It’s a real piece of work, but it could’ve been more heroic like Eyes Up or Look Within due to all the build up to this very moment. Yet, the new 12-man activity that follows sorta redeemed it for me.
Not just you. And if I'm being honest, I have yet to find a single standout from this OST. In context, many of these tracks are passable but in a vacuum I'm having trouble getting hooked by any of them.
I think that's because this isn't technically the final boss theme for The Witness, that's what Stronger, Together/Make Your Own Fate are for, this is just a Witness combat theme like Ritual Site is. I also feel like this theme works better ingame than just listening to it by itself. But I also get what you mean, as great as this piece still is, I think I prefer Oneirophobia.
Disagree. Rhulk’s theme is a banger but I honestly was not a biggest fan of Oneirophobia. This theme is honestly the best of the “darkness” themed boss tracks imo.
@@jamer25 Oneirophobia and the first disciple are in my top 5, I very much enjoyed oneirophobia and not so much this one, but at the end music is a matter of preference
@@punchline1729 agreed. First Disciple is up there with Unmade, Last Stand, Soul of Crota, and a lot of other final boss raid themes. I will say though that the rest of the soundtrack for Root of Nightmares is amazing and is in general one of my favorites for a raid soundtrack (even if the raid itself is disappointing for me). I’ll have to play more of Salvation’s edge though to see if it can beat Last Wish for my favorite raid ost.
I’m gonna be honest the theme for taken taniks sounds better than the witness theme. Personally this is probably my least favourite finale boss theme for someone whose the biggest bad of Destiny 10 year journey his theme is very underwhelming it’s not bad but I still prefer the herald of finality boss theme than him
I think it works in the context of the story, we aren't killing the witness in the raid. It's not a bombastic victory theme, because we barely won. We just stopped the final shape to buy us time. Make your own fate and stronger together are the real witness theme
I love M. Salvatori but this isn't acceptable for a boss of this magnitude. The boss in the seasonal activity has a better theme. Hell, a fan made a better theme than this called Self Justifying Teleology that actually turns the darkness motif heroic during dps. This is so disappointing.

The final stand is perfect. It encapsulates the urgency so we'll. This is literally the most important 15 seconds in the universe.
The clock ticking sounds are also great here, it gives that hectic sense of urgency to finish this asap. The countdown on top adds even more to this.

I will say though that the rest of the soundtrack for Root of Nightmares is amazing and is in general one of my favorites for a raid soundtrack (even if the raid itself is disappointing for me). I’ll have to play more of Salvation’s edge though to see if it can beat Last Wish for my favorite raid ost.
@@jamer25 for this raid I very much like the herald of finality High action version, destiny music archive has uploaded it today give it a lesson
@@punchline1729 I have listened to it but unfortunately I still have ptsd from that boss on contest.
I’m gonna be honest the theme for taken taniks sounds better than the witness theme. Personally this is probably my least favourite finale boss theme for someone whose the biggest bad of Destiny 10 year journey his theme is very underwhelming it’s not bad but I still prefer the herald of finality boss theme than him
I think it works in the context of the story, we aren't killing the witness in the raid. It's not a bombastic victory theme, because we barely won. We just stopped the final shape to buy us time. Make your own fate and stronger together are the real witness theme

I love M. Salvatori but this isn't acceptable for a boss of this magnitude. The boss in the seasonal activity has a better theme. Hell, a fan made a better theme than this called Self Justifying Teleology that actually turns the darkness motif heroic during dps. This is so disappointing.
oh NAH
Bait used to be believable
This isn't even made by Salvatori
this isnt made to be heroic🤦♂️ it is made to show you how urgent this fight is
@@Spyroab_ mfs when they can't understand stories and realize that we aren't killing the boss, but quite literally saving the universe in what it's its last 5 minutes.
