You know what would make this theme even more intense? If come the 1st year anniversary of the game they have a concert then this is what shows up as one of the songs they do live.
Imagine bringing the Dong ethnic minority to the concert with their traditional clothes to sing this piece. This epic piece is inspired by the ethnic group living in China, the "Grand Song" of the Dong people, 2500 years old songs passed down without lyrics, a language without words, recording only with embroidery.
This song is a piece of Dong choir, a traditional Dong folk song in China. This piece does has lyrics and meaning, but I'm not from Dong and don't know the language(Dong language is different from Chinese). The following is the old Chinese translation translated from Dong given by HOYO-MiX: Lyrics Meaning: Phase 1 朝幪幪 暮枯瘁 蜉蝣朝露 来日苦短 晦明苦短 Phase 2 叹晦明苦短 生老病苦 皆归于死 仙骸有终空叹惋 神枝莫莫 庶卉群生 木实唪唪遍南山 Phase 3 受命于天兮 寿考不忘 承天之佑 烂然星陈 Here's the translation by myself from old Chinese to English: Phase 1: The plants grow lush in the morning, but wither in the evening. For mayflies and morning dew (short-lived species), the future is truly fleeting. A day's time is indeed too short. Phase 2: Lamenting the brevity of time, the pain brought by birth, aging, and illness all stems from death. Even immortals have a day of passing, leaving behind useless sighs. The sacred branches(Hilt-Wood branches) have now grown abundant and mature, with grass and flowers flourishing around them. the holy branches are already laden with bountiful fruits on the southern mountain. Phase 3: Those who accept their destiny will achieve immortality, and those blessed by heaven will shine throughout the starry sea. It is quite difficult to translate these lyrics into today's Chinese, let alone into English. Anyone who can translate better please leave a comment.😿By the way, lyrics of Azhdaha battle theme in Genshin impact is old Chinese language, too.
@@chopper3875it's actually fully about abundance, and the vidhyadhara storyline. I'm referring to Dan Feng's(Inhibitor Lunae) species. Check the murals right before the boss fight area. All 4 murals combined tell you a somewhat similar storyline that is written in this translation.
The thing that makes this boss so much better is that she never has a point where she is worried. She never becomes afraid. She truly knows that she has the absolute advantage the entire fight and if not for her toying around she would have won and she acknowledges this.
HOYO-MIX are at it again with Chinese culture music! This time they are using Dongzu Dage (“grand song of the Dong people”) through the whole theme, sounds really amazing and interesting!
I'm a Canadian of Chinese ethnicity; I don't know much tbh but apparently there's loads of natives in China that aren't "Han", and this track implemented the way one of them sang their songs. Anyone can verify?
@@pierreshi6102 Here to verify. It is true. From what I've heard, the theme is inspired by a "Grand Song" of the Dong people called "Song of the Cicadas" which talks about how life is fleeting.
Such type of a choir is also in Bulgaria and since recently in Japan (ig it firstly appeared in cyberpunk), so ig it could not that represent the cultural uniqueness of the Chinese culture (rather its small peoples) and rather pursues other goals
The OST playing while only luocha and jing yuan left standing because tingyun and pela is dead on the third phase really gave me a sense of urgency and actually sweating My favorite boss so far as she is not annoying unlike some deer but is actually equally fun but challenging
The one time my Luocha died because he had to keep spamming his passive for everyone to the point he couldn't do it for himself then this lady kept targeting him... The 1st time I had Gepard so he saved my ass. The other times...there was an attempt for Blade solo but yeah she clapped my ass a few times😅
This feels like something Xenoblade or Nier would have in their soundtrack but with the added beats in Phase 2 make it so unique. They cooked hard with this boss theme
I cannot say tht one boss music is better than the other because the vibe and the feeling of each boss was different and they made the perfect soundtrack to go along with it. All the boss music r great.
last boss made us feel powerful because the scope of the fight is very personal to the characters of the planet, this one shows how expansive the universe and the threat we are actually facing, we're not just up against another human powered by a Stellaron, we're up against creatures that uses these planetary level bombs as toys
As much as I loved the Cocolia soundtrack but man this one just hit so different. Literally felt like I was battling for my life. Thank gawd for my Luocha and well built Jingyuan LOL
Phase1 is the theme of The Abundance and The Destruction.Electronic elements among the melody means the power of destruction and the vocal parts represents the power of abundance.In this part, the music exudes an evil aura.Phase2 ,they add the hunt theme when pushed to climax in the end, but at this time, the power of hunt is still weak.Phase3,it's Xianzhou's turn,so you can hear a righteous and passionate melody which means The Hunt is currently occupying an advantage,meanwhile,there's still some parts of the main melody belong to abundance and destruction, Phantylia is constantly trying to gain an advantage again, but you can clearly know that the power of abundance and destruction is constantly weakening,they are just sturggling in vain.Victory will surely come and the vengence of The Hunt will fall upon the pawn of destruction and abundance!
Cocolia's battle theme : you're the underworld heroes trying to tear down tyranny, through the biting cold, with everyone going hand in hand to defeat the ruler, taking destiny to their own hands. Cocolia is evil but at the end of the day she wished for the best of her people regardless the wrongs she did. the victory is bittersweet but the sacrifice won't go to waste thanks to everyone working together to build their world from the frozen ash. Phantylia battle theme: you fought and odd entity, an amalgamation of undying and destruction, you only have one general and a reincarnated high elder to fight the entity, the victory is supposed to be absolute, but this entity is way beyond your power. this isn't a battle for freedom, it's a battle to exorcize the evil. you won the battle but you didn't defeat the villain. they're still out there, like a ghost in your shadow. There's no victory, only delayed defeat.
This song is straight gas! Elevates the hell out of the fight and you feel like you're fighting an all-powerful being for real. That switch at 3:18 is peak man, Hoyo really turned up for Star Rail, honestly if they keep this up, players that come in like a year from now are going to be in for such a good ride.
Game version focuses a lot on the beats and background melodies, while the album version focuses a lot on the vocals. There's a lot of sound details that you can't hear in the album version but you can hear it here.
5:15 Everyone keeps talking about the drop 3 minutes in but honestly this string section and the absolutely cinematic buildup afterwards is an absolute chef's kiss
Man Jing Yuan and Dan Heng were so MVP in 1.2 but yeah King Yuan specially. I love it to death how much he mocked Phantylia to make her fall for his trap. Ah I loved this boss fight so much.
Cocolia's theme: "COME ON, YOU ARE INVINCIBLE, HIT HER, CRUSH HER, NOW GIANT ROBOT HIT GO GO GO" Phantylia's theme: "You are fucked up and you know it, right?"
She slapped me at first 2 times, mf targets jingyuan each time and killed him twice at phase 3. In my second attempt, she was at just 1% HP left in phase 3, but she targeted jingyuan and because of him I lost...But on third try, slapped her tits off... But yeah, she cannot be taken lightly...like she takes 3 turns in a row in phase 3..
This boss is a freaking raid boss fight, it’s got a lot of challenge, and it’s especially hard when you don’t use Jing Yuan. I used an all female squad when I did the echoes of war picking Bailu from support and using Silver Wolf to inject type weaknesses when applicable all while Servan hard carried the fight. It’s a crazy fight that had me the most excited playing Star Rail.
Yes because she has 2 mechanic most annoying. Stolen SP and counter tank char. But all you need just survive until dan heng burst ready and start nuking
This track reminds me of puny me being at Trailblaze level 34 and trying to defeat lv.82 Phantylia with puny level 50 characters. It’s just an impossible boss fight, until at the very least trailblaze 50 if you have properly built characters, and you need trailblaze 60 to be at the same level with the enemy
Can't believe I had to retry the fight once, barely won first try and the game actually decided to push a hotfix in not even 1 second in the cutscene where Jingyuan is captured, but on the bright side I get to enjoy the 1st and 2nd phase OST again.
I only have Natasha and I’m F2P lol. Have poorly built characters cause I can’t play everyday. Very difficult battle for me 😭😭😭 still haven’t beaten it I might have to farm for a whole week before I can beat her in the story
3:18 according to Song of Distance Planet vol.2, is a Buddha scripture translated into Kam language translation: All life's suffering is found in death Even immortality end! O, what lamentation the divine tree thrive o'er abundant life fruits cascading across the celestial ranges
Final Boss vibe.. , felt the same ass awesomeness like in some Boss Battles in SRW (Super Robot Wars ) games that ive played and loved the transition of the music gets intense as we push on the battle . and shes not even the Final Boss yet lol
The more i listen, the first phase is like usual boss introduction, dont know what she can do or how powerful she is, second phase is like we realised that she is way powerful and can kill us, and third we can defeat her if work as team work and have hope to victory
It's more like Buddhist music rather than Chinese usual music.. i mean, rapid of wildfire genshin impact OST has more Chinese culture on it. Both are awesome!
I'm not Dong ethnicity but I've heard a lot of the grand songs. Japanese style is similar singing tone but the language used here in this theme is Dong Language. My favourite Dong Grand Song is the "Cicada Grand Song" and "Ancestor's Arrival"
An actual boss fight, i rlly have to bring friend's luocha for this lol although i have bailu too, cuz that grey health debuff thing (forgot name) and the bloom damage is just op
2nd theme is intense, which makes sense since it's mid-battle. 3rd phase had more "grand" sweeping strings for hope that the heroes pull through. They represent different "emotions".
This boss battle gave me something I haven't gotten in many years: the sense of dread, fear of the possibility of actually losing the battle, the shivers i had throughout the whole third phase. Something that Genshin or other games I played werent able to give me anymore. Feelings aside, my favorite part of the theme is the 2nd phase, when the chorus sings i can only imagine it singing insults and slurs hahah Little edit after realising I'm obsessed with this theme, I absolutely love the build up to the beat drop from 2:35 until 3:04.
It seems Hoyo used a similar emotional intensity build up tactic from Dark Souls 3's Dancer of the boreal valley boss fight with the battle theme, the more the fight progresses the more intense the music becomes and the more adrenaline (or tension) you start to feel.
As the name, it gave me a good nostalgic with Undertale. The electronic one gave me a finger-breaking with drumbass (idk if it has), just like Camellia soundtrack GHOST and also We could get more machinegun psystyles (ig)
3:18 When I first time heard this point when I fought against her I stop fighting for a moment and I started literally sing with chorus It bring me some Indian belly dancer vibes also lmao
It's funny to me how when she dropped the star on the team I had Welt that recharged his ultimate and I used it immediately and my head canon is that Welt blew up the star in everyone's faces 😂
This boss was amazing and also quite hard for the first time. The Blade + Luocha combo did help me a lot with this battle. Thank you hoyoverse for delivering another awesome boss battle 😁

You know what would make this theme even more intense? If come the 1st year anniversary of the game they have a concert then this is what shows up as one of the songs they do live.
With boss cosplay dance too would be nice.

Phase 3
受命于天兮 寿考不忘
承天之佑 烂然星陈
Here's the translation by myself from old Chinese to English:
Phase 1:
The plants grow lush in the morning, but wither in the evening. For mayflies and morning dew (short-lived species), the future is truly fleeting. A day's time is indeed too short.
Phase 2:
Lamenting the brevity of time, the pain brought by birth, aging, and illness all stems from death. Even immortals have a day of passing, leaving behind useless sighs.
The sacred branches(Hilt-Wood branches) have now grown abundant and mature, with grass and flowers flourishing around them. the holy branches are already laden with bountiful fruits on the southern mountain.
Phase 3:
Those who accept their destiny will achieve immortality, and those blessed by heaven will shine throughout the starry sea.

Really appreciate the translation! Thanks!
Wow, it's really so amazing! Thank you for information!♡♡
The lyrics maybe referencing different paths. Phase 1 abundance. Phase 2 nihility. Phase 3 destruction?
@@chopper3875it's actually fully about abundance, and the vidhyadhara storyline. I'm referring to Dan Feng's(Inhibitor Lunae) species.
Check the murals right before the boss fight area. All 4 murals combined tell you a somewhat similar storyline that is written in this translation.
3:18 makes the 2nd theme the best of them all
Agree
Yeah my fav out of 3
tbh even her ultimate fit better as the last phase ult
Haven't clicked the timestamp yet but I already know what you're talking about
This is exactly the part I was looking for. It’s the moment Dan Heng shows up for backup. The music change was epic!
The thing that makes this boss so much better is that she never has a point where she is worried. She never becomes afraid. She truly knows that she has the absolute advantage the entire fight and if not for her toying around she would have won and she acknowledges this.
she isn't dead... what will happen when she takes us seriously???!!!!
@@justinadams7824 it will be done even before 1st phase. She is just toying at all

I love how Jing Yuan’s leitmotif is woven in during the third phase, both in subtle variations throughout and most recognizably around 5:53
Best moment !
The OST playing while only luocha and jing yuan left standing because tingyun and pela is dead on the third phase really gave me a sense of urgency and actually sweating
My favorite boss so far as she is not annoying unlike some deer but is actually equally fun but challenging
Luocha gamers rise up
THAT FRICKIN DEER
You're Loucha to JY was really like
"Don't you fucking die old man. We need you ALIVE."
I literally refuse ti fight the deer in world 7, I DONT WANT TO SEE THAT BOSS EVER AGAIN
The one time my Luocha died because he had to keep spamming his passive for everyone to the point he couldn't do it for himself then this lady kept targeting him...
The 1st time I had Gepard so he saved my ass.
The other times...there was an attempt for Blade solo but yeah she clapped my ass a few times😅
WE MAKING OUT OF THE XIANZHOU LUOFU WITH THIS ONE 🥶🥶🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This feels like something Xenoblade or Nier would have in their soundtrack but with the added beats in Phase 2 make it so unique. They cooked hard with this boss theme
Ikr. That's some Zanza the Divine shit right there.
Legit thought i was playing NieR for a second. And that is not a bad thing.
The first phase sounds EXTREMELY similar to Venena Coenubia boss in Toram Online
Seriously, this felt like something straight out of a Xenoblade final boss, like I was fighting Zanza or something
@@super_dude00 MC be like:
"Today, we use our power to fell an Aeon, and then seize our destiny!"
3:18 Goes sooo hard
This boss was something else even with my characters well built. It actually felt like a real challenge!
ye. Bailu hard carried me through this fight ngl.
I have no idea what I would have done without my little dragon girl.
A well built jing yuan just breezes through it tho 🤣
@@jeltevl8868s much as I hate Bailu... She did come in handy in this battle...
My Clara being an absolute unit wirh Luchoa on her back carried me
Yeah that realy insane Max HP debuff was the heavy hitter
Sick boss theme! HOYO-MiX does NOT miss!
Thanks Mihoyo ! 👑
Many talk about 3:18. But I really like the build up from 2:23 to 3:03.
Yes I was honestly shocked that it wasn’t the most replayed😭
It's the only part of all themes that I really like, lol
I like the three of them 🤣
the buildup is the best and its exactly this buildup that gives 3:18 the impact
It really is pretty damn good.
This theme gives me goosebumps especially the third phase, it gives me shivers when I fight her(gladly we have Dan Fe- Uh no Dan Heng at our back)
i just got to this boss fight. man i love this game so much. the soundtrack in this game is to die for
Second phase slaps AF 🔥
I cannot say tht one boss music is better than the other because the vibe and the feeling of each boss was different and they made the perfect soundtrack to go along with it. All the boss music r great.
last boss made us feel powerful because the scope of the fight is very personal to the characters of the planet, this one shows how expansive the universe and the threat we are actually facing, we're not just up against another human powered by a Stellaron, we're up against creatures that uses these planetary level bombs as toys
this game just keeps on getting better this is all so much PEAK
Everyone talking about the 2nd song but honestly I like the 3rd one better, specially at 4:20
As much as I loved the Cocolia soundtrack but man this one just hit so different. Literally felt like I was battling for my life. Thank gawd for my Luocha and well built Jingyuan LOL
Cocolia's fight was a battle for triumph, when you face Phantylia you're fighting for mere survival
The transitions between phases are GODLIKE
We all gotta understand that Hoyoverse knows what their doing when it comes to music, and one of their best ones are BOSS musics.
Phase1 is the theme of The Abundance and The Destruction.Electronic elements among the melody means the power of destruction and the vocal parts represents the power of abundance.In this part, the music exudes an evil aura.Phase2 ,they add the hunt theme when pushed to climax in the end, but at this time, the power of hunt is still weak.Phase3,it's Xianzhou's turn,so you can hear a righteous and passionate melody which means The Hunt is currently occupying an advantage,meanwhile,there's still some parts of the main melody belong to abundance and destruction, Phantylia is constantly trying to gain an advantage again, but you can clearly know that the power of abundance and destruction is constantly weakening,they are just sturggling in vain.Victory will surely come and the vengence of The Hunt will fall upon the pawn of destruction and abundance!
Cocolia's battle theme : you're the underworld heroes trying to tear down tyranny, through the biting cold, with everyone going hand in hand to defeat the ruler, taking destiny to their own hands. Cocolia is evil but at the end of the day she wished for the best of her people regardless the wrongs she did. the victory is bittersweet but the sacrifice won't go to waste thanks to everyone working together to build their world from the frozen ash.
Phantylia battle theme: you fought and odd entity, an amalgamation of undying and destruction, you only have one general and a reincarnated high elder to fight the entity, the victory is supposed to be absolute, but this entity is way beyond your power. this isn't a battle for freedom, it's a battle to exorcize the evil. you won the battle but you didn't defeat the villain. they're still out there, like a ghost in your shadow. There's no victory, only delayed defeat.
The ethereal voices in the background is so good! Genuinely reminds me of the soundtracks in Suzume no Tojimari.
That's what I thought of too! Or Nier
This song is straight gas! Elevates the hell out of the fight and you feel like you're fighting an all-powerful being for real. That switch at 3:18 is peak man, Hoyo really turned up for Star Rail, honestly if they keep this up, players that come in like a year from now are going to be in for such a good ride.
Yep,this def goes INSANELY hard.
Game version focuses a lot on the beats and background melodies, while the album version focuses a lot on the vocals. There's a lot of sound details that you can't hear in the album version but you can hear it here.
5:15 Everyone keeps talking about the drop 3 minutes in but honestly this string section and the absolutely cinematic buildup afterwards is an absolute chef's kiss
So underrated!
That beat drop is so fucking good this whole song got me crying in the club it's fucking beautiful
the leitmotif they have at 2:36 and 4:51 are so addictive
3:18 is where the shit is real 🔥🔥
Literally the best part
My fav part it’s soo good!!
It feels so ominous! The chanting but with increased tempo in each iteration. HOYO-MIX should get more recognition. It deserves acknowledgment.
WE GETTING OUT OF THE AMBROSIAL ARBOR WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man Jing Yuan and Dan Heng were so MVP in 1.2 but yeah King Yuan specially. I love it to death how much he mocked Phantylia to make her fall for his trap. Ah I loved this boss fight so much.
Cocolia's theme: "COME ON, YOU ARE INVINCIBLE, HIT HER, CRUSH HER, NOW GIANT ROBOT HIT GO GO GO"
Phantylia's theme: "You are fucked up and you know it, right?"
This boss fight was freaking amazing, a wake up call to my not very built units, but my god was it so freaking badass.
And the music goes even harder
2:36 This part had me bopping my head while getting bodied by her
I LOVE how this song slowly gets more intense in the 2nd phase, and the intensity stays in the 3rd phase with a hint of heroism
Somehow this reminds me of Demon Slayer music. 5:15 my favorite part, those strings...
Yeah honestly sounds like tanjiro would pull out some op ass move and instantly one shot a demon
Shit so good it makes me feel powerful by just drinking water
😂😂😂
Is it just me or did this boss feel more difficult?
She slapped me at first 2 times, mf targets jingyuan each time and killed him twice at phase 3. In my second attempt, she was at just 1% HP left in phase 3, but she targeted jingyuan and because of him I lost...But on third try, slapped her tits off...
But yeah, she cannot be taken lightly...like she takes 3 turns in a row in phase 3..
This boss is a freaking raid boss fight, it’s got a lot of challenge, and it’s especially hard when you don’t use Jing Yuan.
I used an all female squad when I did the echoes of war picking Bailu from support and using Silver Wolf to inject type weaknesses when applicable all while Servan hard carried the fight. It’s a crazy fight that had me the most excited playing Star Rail.
I had to borrow Jing Yuan just to fight weekly Phantylia, his kit is literally made for this fight. No wonder he's required in story battle.
Yes because she has 2 mechanic most annoying. Stolen SP and counter tank char. But all you need just survive until dan heng burst ready and start nuking
It's hard if you don't have strong AOE char, thankfully they give free trial jingyuan LOL
This track reminds me of puny me being at Trailblaze level 34 and trying to defeat lv.82 Phantylia with puny level 50 characters. It’s just an impossible boss fight, until at the very least trailblaze 50 if you have properly built characters, and you need trailblaze 60 to be at the same level with the enemy
Everyone talks about 3:18 but I really love the more hopeful/inspirational piece that it leads into at 3:40
same
Can't believe I had to retry the fight once, barely won first try and the game actually decided to push a hotfix in not even 1 second in the cutscene where Jingyuan is captured, but on the bright side I get to enjoy the 1st and 2nd phase OST again.
Having Gepard and Luocha at the same time made this battle insanely easy
i easily soloed her with gepard and welt
@@anuragchaurasia2273 Gepard on top !
the value of shielder is increasing with the new HP decrease debuff.
@@someoneinasia I mean most Healers can get rid of the debuff though
I only have Natasha and I’m F2P lol. Have poorly built characters cause I can’t play everyday. Very difficult battle for me 😭😭😭 still haven’t beaten it I might have to farm for a whole week before I can beat her in the story
Neck twisted listening to this banger
3:18 according to Song of Distance Planet vol.2, is a Buddha scripture translated into Kam language
translation:
All life's suffering is found in death
Even immortality end!
O, what lamentation
the divine tree thrive o'er abundant life
fruits cascading across the celestial ranges
I know people rave about phase 2, but that little electronic but in phase 1 towards the end is just 😘👌
Reminds me of Digital Devil Saga so much.
The themes are so good and intense. Hope they made more of these themes in future.
Love the music, thanks for cataloging it! Also have you considered making an full ost video of all the music from Star Rail so far?
My pleasure! Sorry, I don’t plan on compiling everything in a single video.
@@PomPomsWorkstation Oh okay, but no need to apologize. Just figured I’d ask. Have a good one!
“For the Xianzhou!”
I had tears in my eyes after completing this battle. The BGM still lingers. Too good.
these songs have the creepy vibe of Nier Automata and Ghost in the Shell from 1995! there is some really similar music! :) and it's awesome!
exactly what i thought!
This boss was so intense! And the music was a huge factor in it.
Probably one of my favorite boss themes of all time tbh
Final Boss vibe.. , felt the same ass awesomeness like in some Boss Battles in SRW (Super Robot Wars ) games that ive played and loved
the transition of the music gets intense as we push on the battle . and shes not even the Final Boss yet lol
MOMMY THEME
Big mommy
The more i listen, the first phase is like usual boss introduction, dont know what she can do or how powerful she is, second phase is like we realised that she is way powerful and can kill us, and third we can defeat her if work as team work and have hope to victory
This music drops so well at 4:27, 4:51, 5:03, 5:09, 5:15 and 5:27!
This song really give vibes of "Ghost in the shell"
3:19 this part is too goooooood
nah this gave me goosebumps. then when dan heng showed up, blended in with jing yuan's ultimate... bro my cheeks were vibrating
Insane beat drop at 3:18
better than wildfire, I'll say it
indeed
This theme gives me Nier feels
the fight was so good! and am I the only one who's reminded of Nier Automata when i heard the chants in the background?
It reminds me a lot of Alien Manifestation, so good
You're definitely not the only one! It reminded me of possessed by a disease and alien manifestation a lot.
This track, specially the opening of 3rd phase, gives the same vibes as fgolb lastboss fights
Goosebumps is what makes adrenaline rush
It's more like Buddhist music rather than Chinese usual music.. i mean, rapid of wildfire genshin impact OST has more Chinese culture on it. Both are awesome!
I had 3 close calls during this fight, was a super intense fight when backed up by the ost.
5:15 is jing yuan theme, using ultimate againts phantylia similiar when he using his ultimate against jing liu
I'm not Dong ethnicity but I've heard a lot of the grand songs. Japanese style is similar singing tone but the language used here in this theme is Dong Language. My favourite Dong Grand Song is the "Cicada Grand Song" and "Ancestor's Arrival"
An actual boss fight, i rlly have to bring friend's luocha for this lol although i have bailu too, cuz that grey health debuff thing (forgot name) and the bloom damage is just op
the whole 2nd part theme is better than the 3rd, not like 3rd is any bad though
2nd theme is intense, which makes sense since it's mid-battle. 3rd phase had more "grand" sweeping strings for hope that the heroes pull through. They represent different "emotions".
That beginning chord really tells you how fucked you are by fighting her
This boss battle gave me something I haven't gotten in many years: the sense of dread, fear of the possibility of actually losing the battle, the shivers i had throughout the whole third phase. Something that Genshin or other games I played werent able to give me anymore.
Feelings aside, my favorite part of the theme is the 2nd phase, when the chorus sings i can only imagine it singing insults and slurs hahah
Little edit after realising I'm obsessed with this theme, I absolutely love the build up to the beat drop from 2:35 until 3:04.
2:37 - 3:02 - yeah I lost it … this clapping and yelling and music is a hype .. like is banger
3:18 Wtf .. moreee!!!
so mesmerizing!!!! i cried 😭😭😭
It seems Hoyo used a similar emotional intensity build up tactic from Dark Souls 3's Dancer of the boreal valley boss fight with the battle theme, the more the fight progresses the more intense the music becomes and the more adrenaline (or tension) you start to feel.
- "can you stop making fire af boss themes FOR FIVE MINUTES ?"
- Hoyo : "nope"
And I admit that I feel some KNY vibes for some parts.
My lvl50 Nat w +1 relics was carrying while I headbang to this.
I had to retry like x5 :"D
to us, this is a battle for survival where every second could spell our death
to her, this is just another Tuesday in the office
As the name, it gave me a good nostalgic with Undertale.
The electronic one gave me a finger-breaking with drumbass (idk if it has), just like Camellia soundtrack GHOST and also We could get more machinegun psystyles (ig)
WE MAKING IT OUT THE MARA WITH THIS ONE BOYS
Everyone gangsta till the ost starts chanting mantra
They set the bar so high with this OST (and Wildfire) that I compare every boss theme I hear to this.
3:18 When I first time heard this point when I fought against her I stop fighting for a moment and I started literally sing with chorus
It bring me some Indian belly dancer vibes also lmao
First battle that i actually had trouble with. Died 6 times.
2nd phase is my favourite music.
💜💜
It's funny to me how when she dropped the star on the team I had Welt that recharged his ultimate and I used it immediately and my head canon is that Welt blew up the star in everyone's faces 😂
The buildup in the second phase is so good?? And the last 50 seconds in it too holy SHIT
does honkai team ever chill with their production?
This boss was amazing and also quite hard for the first time. The Blade + Luocha combo did help me a lot with this battle. Thank you hoyoverse for delivering another awesome boss battle 😁
Yes, I saw steamers failed at first attempts with well(whale) build characters. It's so funny.
@@yangjensen3221 Hahaha, I wish I saw that 🤣
Everyone mentioning 3:18 and 5:15. But personally I feel like 1:28 is the best part
I actually agree, the first phase made her feel sooo intimidating
that part was removed/edited out in the album version.
glad the Game version exist.
Second phase slaps, jfc
the Buddhist-like chantings took me tf out--
It was so intense, and I LOVE IT! It gives me goosebumps hearing the vocals
Ah, yes, that "Can and will step on you" vibe. Approved.
My Trailblazer would be into that tbh.
Wildfire and now this…
you can never escape xenogear vocals
