I still cant believe how some people have the music turned off in this game when its one of the best things it has. I remember doing this raid day 1 and when that dps phase came it hit HARD, it felt like a true raid boss moment.
I never realized until watching this, that the music was dynamic, and added more instruments everytime you dunked and got further, always love when games do this kind of music progress.
@@devrim6 right, I recall Deep stone being the same way, but I don’t recall any raid or encounter picking up like this specific encounter. I could be extremely wrong though.
@@SonicUpdater all encounters in vog and dsc, some in last wish, first and last 2 encounter of cos, all encounters of spire and even levi had some. I don't think gos and eow had anything substantial, only phase specific stuff.
4:00 The fact that the first Pyramid entity we fight has a damage phase theme that’s a remix of “Guardian” (the D1 start screen theme) is amazing. Decided to edit this after 10 months, if you are curious why people where correcting me it’s because I mistook Guardian for The Traveler.
He is not a pyramid entity, he is from a Planet named lubrae what makes him a lubraean and he has nothing to do with the pyramids.. i think he lived(?) In that pyramid which is from the zeugen (i dont know the english word, sry) that megamind dude you know
@@sasatype0538 He was found by the witness in Lubrae, and it made him its disciple. The pyramid is a part of the power he received when he vowed to be the disciple of the witness. After it, he single-handedly slaughtered a lot of civilizations including his own over the galaxy, injuring the leviathan which was guarding the "prison" of worm gods by taking one of its spine. And he corrupted the worm gods with darkness, resulting in the creation of hive. After the pact between krill (pre-worm hive) and the worms, he was stationed by the witness to oversee savathun, who the witness was considering to make her into an another disciple. But he was damn narcissistic and arrogant, so savathun and rhulk hated each other, to the point where that he verbally t-bagged oryx in front of her when he died. In return, savathun gave rhulk the bird by trapping him by turning the light mode of her throne world. That's why there is a sunken pyramid in savathun's throne world. P.S. Rhulk's arrogance eventually became the cause of his downfall by the guardians, because even he decided to kill the guardians who entered his pyramid, he decided to toy them while fighting them. When he realized that they actually hurts a lot, it was too late. (Guardians spammed the supers on him).
7:00. Fantastic programming, they reached the platform before the previous music section finished, but the transition into the dps phase music was so smooth
I actually made a video about synchronizing the music and the gameplay at the Rhulk boss fight as smooth as possible, here's the video ruclips.net/video/_0rbDJ9ZqZc/видео.html&ab_channel=Ingamesyncedmusic
I have 30+ hours of sleep debt and here I am literally crying because adore how the composer utilized dissonance in the ad phases/ early boss phases, and then builds to the light motif of the entire destiny franchise during the damage phase. The dynamic crafting of the music just sells the heroism within the boss fight so well. The music is fighting with you, and music makes you braver.
ASs someone who plays tuba and dabbles in bass trombone, I can assure you that there were FAT grins on the faces of the low brass instrumentalists. If I were in that ensemble, I would've been wheezing of laughter afterwards cuz oh my lordy L O R D
There is nothing more heart pounding then on the day one experience when the choir starts singing at the dmg phase and you are on that final push to cross the line
You're the only person I've managed to find who has the *full* music variety, especially the basic percussion at the start. It's so cool but nobody seems to include that version. Thanks for the recording!
there are various amount of other channels that have done this very thing for other raids / strikes / dungeons im sure of it! you can also find the full 3 phase progression of the rhulk encounter which sounds great as well and I highly recommend a listen. Thank you all for stopping by!
Rhulk's OST is actually Literally, by Literal I mean LITERALLY Light Vs. Dark Music The start of The OST is that deep horn we hear like the Darkness OST and at 2:40 we hear the Tower OST music if you know that tune then mix mash it with the Darkness OST then there ya go, you have a banger music that fights who has the better tune and better feels.
8:23 for some reason this part of the song is the most epic for me, it’s like triumphant music but for both sides, like both are fighting with they’re fullest with super high stakes(I know Rhulk prob had a bit to spare maybe) but hey that’s just my take, fucking love the whole song tho
This boss music has always stood out the most for me out of all of the raids to date. I know some people have other preferences, but the Guardian motif blasting in triumphantly as you start to damage Rhulk is nothing short of fantastic, especially since I am quite invested in the story at this point, and this boss is a massive step up towards combating the root cause of humanity's suffering in the Destiny universe. We've fought minions of the Darkness before, and Rhulk certainly is still a minion in that sense, but he's responsible for the Hive being what they are. It's the first time playing this game that felt like the story was actually going somewhere.
I think it also goes without saying how the audio sync programming side of things has come a long way. Doom 2016 was a good example of "the more you progress a firefight, the more intense the music gets" i.e verse, pre chorus, chorus. Here you can hear the progression of the battle demonstrating these techniques using important effective audio cues during mechanics and damage.
Everytime I do a day one, I crank up the music and this is why. Hearing this while you’re doing minimal damage to a boss stressed as shit to see if THIS is the run. This is truly why we love destiny.
Its almost like Rhulk has a boombox next to his father's glaive playing his theme, and as the the forcefield expands, it muffles most of his theme, until you get to the back of his room and hear it at full volume
Still the best raid boss theme. The Witness should have had something along these lines utilizing the Darkness motif more heavily. Wasn't bad, but this theme was perfect for the Rhulk fight.
the reason why it's more intense is because. it's literally the FIRST true darkness entity we have encountered. let alone the witnesses first disciple so, makes sense for his theme to have a more aggressive version of the darkness motif, same with any future potential darkness-based songs related to any other disciples
Per Bungies Guidelines you are free to post any music that they haven't posted themselves. I think this is diffrent enough to the one they put up to be relatively safe.
It actually kinda hurts me that the snare was killed in the mix on the OST release of The first disciple I know drummers that would sell body parts to have a snare that popped like that
Now imagine if he was actually taking this fight seriously, he wouldn't have been killed. He was many times more powerful than us, many times more powerful than Oryx. Shame really.
Please do this with the whole raid! I’m especially interested about payload -> 1st encounter since they use the same music piece. Drown in the Deep is an absolute banger, and the in game version goes even harder. Although with no SFX you can’t hear the totems go “ee, oo, ee, oo”, which I feel add to it in a way. Interesting stuff!
you dont hear the choir chants on this video as well but can be heard in the official song. not sure if thats considered sfx or dialogue OR i needed to 3 phase for that to be heard
there is basically 3 phases of the song. first being the start and the 1st dps phase, second being the 2nd dps phase. and after that, the choir is in that part, before the 3rd dps. 3 phases of the song
@@ADubiiousTask Turns out it is on Phase 3, it starts right as "ENRAGE IS NEAR...". I wish there were more difficulty options for raids, then you could enjoy all the raid encounters with music that's set up like this. Caretaker does a good job at this, but really that's no different than Acquisition. Fun fact, Drown in the Deep is I believe one of, if not the only raid track where the action and high action are completely separate and not just changed instrumentation.
When i saw the Video title, i first thought this was some sort of challange, to complete the encounter while everyone in the team has no sfx and no comms.

Yours got put in the orbit playlist, you must be a really chill guy
Did you forgive him?
He'll be back, like crota or Oryx we will see him again.
Apparently he's not really dead. Moreso healing in a type of stasis from what people have said

its also worth pointing out that motif is used in half the raid boss music, riven and val cauor are the first 2 that come to mind
They've always remixed it on DPS phases which I think represents us fighting back to the enemy (Who's theme is also remixed like taniks)
He is not a pyramid entity, he is from a Planet named lubrae what makes him a lubraean and he has nothing to do with the pyramids.. i think he lived(?) In that pyramid which is from the zeugen (i dont know the english word, sry) that megamind dude you know

1:15 the snare tone is so good

They wanted the snare to pop
Sound like a metal covered snare
As a mix engineer that snare is just so satisfying 😂

@Hyppperon yup. But the programming the team does to ensure really smooth transitions is second to none in gaming.

Rhulks has some of the smoothest transitions tbh. No matter how long you take to reach his platform the music syncs almost perfectly into dps.
The fact that bungie let go such an awesome conposer is mind blowing to me. Michael, your music will definitely be missed in the final shape 😢😢
tfs music is still banging but its not the same without his touch
Devourlock, Duty Bound, Gjallarhorn, a fusion rifle, TRANSVERSIVE STEPS... A man after my own heart. Mad respect for a fantastic loadout.

You gotta love it when a single music’s stem pieces can be used for a major boss fight.
Anyone else just instinctively hear every sound in this encounter 😂
I left Destiny for two years...
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BANGER?!
the mechanics, the dps room, the music, Rhulk really is the destiny boss of all time
I'll always love that whenever a raid boss enters DPS phase the Guardian/Destiny leitmotif begins to play.
I love that the Guardian theme has just slowly become Destiny's "Proof of a Hero".
That percussion section really carries the piece.
Damn good job Bungie music team!
Thanks for uploading!
The moment at 3:44 where you turn away for a second and rhulk is there dashing would’ve put the fear of god in me
love this, the other versions always leave out the first part!

Rhulk: "Drown in the deep, or rise from it."
The Music Itself: (2:40) Rise, (4:00) Guardian
Ive lost count on how many times I’ve watched this
much love!
When I was at the last encounter I had to say "ngl this music is a BOP!" I loved the raid Def doing again!
I come back to find this specific video often, love the gameplay w/o sound to go along with the music.
Everytime I do a day one, I crank up the music and this is why. Hearing this while you’re doing minimal damage to a boss stressed as shit to see if THIS is the run.
This is truly why we love destiny.
Seeing the gameplay with only the visuals of the mechanics and the music telling the story is just art 🙌
That goddamn snare tone will forever resonate into my soul.
Seeing dynamic music in action like this is amazing.
Its almost like Rhulk has a boombox next to his father's glaive playing his theme, and as the the forcefield expands, it muffles most of his theme, until you get to the back of his room and hear it at full volume
Best boss music in the game. The DPS transition is outer worldly good.
This was peak d2, I still get sad thinking about how fumbled lightfall was, very regretfull
All time favorite raid boss in destiny. Originally atheon from vog, this boss finally changed my perspective on raid bosses
Ran this raid for my first time ever just recently. I got to say the best musical parts are 2:40 and 4:00 Stellar performance from the drummer!
Hot damn, at 1:15 it starts sounding like it came straight out of Halo lol
I'd love to see someone talented enough do a drum cover of this song
1:52 that ammo brick💀
Still the best raid boss theme. The Witness should have had something along these lines utilizing the Darkness motif more heavily. Wasn't bad, but this theme was perfect for the Rhulk fight.
Hey this is awesome, thank you for uploading this.
Now all we need is this for phase 2 of the music (if anyone asks you can't kill him for 2 to 3 damage phases to hear it in game)
That poor super bar was sadly neglected 😭
I never realized there was a basic portion of it at the beginning, I've always just listened to the version with everything
I cannot understand people who have music turned off or have Spotify on.
The accuracy in your good aim compared to mine scares me.
I never realized how bad my aim was until watching this😂
Bro hes a giant dude in FRONT of you, how tf do you miss
@@yamz1156 Ay man bad aim can come in all shapes and sizes alright😂
I swear I've never heard this. I play since Forsaken and only today do I find out that bosses have OSTs lol
Neat little thing to note is that if you listen closely, the opening is a more intense version of the song that plays when you boot up the game
its the darkness motif used throughout the games life! heard the most when beyond light was the current dlc as the menu theme
the reason why it's more intense is because. it's literally the FIRST true darkness entity we have encountered. let alone the witnesses first disciple so, makes sense for his theme to have a more aggressive version of the darkness motif, same with any future potential darkness-based songs related to any other disciples
This goes so hard. Destiny music is unrivaled. Hopefully I can raid this week
"You have served your purpose, all that awaits you now is the gift of death, the darkness beyond your final days"
the nodding when the snare drum comes in, I felt that
Thank u so so much, u made my day, no noticed before cause evryone are focused on the fight but Its true music is dynamic ❤️
Pov: you are on ad clear
the fact that a lot of my friends have dialogue off and music all the way down triggers me to this day
This is really good exercise music, especially for the Stair machine
thank you so much for making this!
The emotions you feel after concerning a raid like this for the first time with your friends is something you can only find in destiny.
Outstanding Music of an outstanding boss fight in an outstanding Destiny Raid.
Indeed
Wow this is actually so good
The music definitely makes Destiny 2 bosses feel like epic bosses.
Fucking hell, the snare tone is perfect
lets goo, someone actually uploaded the battle with just the music.
Those damn drums in the background. They make me feel a certain way
