Game Composer Hears ORPHAN OF KOS for the First Time - BLOODBORNE 

I've done a bunch of videos like this one on Bloodborne music and I bet you haven't seen them all, so check em over here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4nQexcuDPAw.html&pp=gAQBiAQB

"I THOUGHT IT WAS ENDING! PLEASE END!" Hey look its the perfect summary of the Orphan fight

Its so chill to make room for the amount of screams he does in the fight

Ahhh sweet child of Kos Returned to the ocean A bottomless curse A bottomless sea Accepting of all there is And can be

"A deformed aberration of a chord... and the lonely, sad, tragic lamentation of a female voice". Nailed it right there.

Very underrated track. The boss himself is quite underrated in terms of quality because everyone's just talking about the difficulty

It sounds like the first part would be more for Kos herself before her death, even sounding like a tense lullaby for her child, and the second part being much more anger-focused and disturbed for the Orphan and it's confused rage harbored by the loss of it's mother. Beautifully haunting, and hella accurate

"I thought it was ending, please end, this is too intense" yeah, that sounds about the right summary of what the Orphan fight actually is.

I always find it crazy how accurately he can determine the likelihood of the boss or the fight itself only by listening to the music, a true professional.

"Oh, god... I'm not ready." -Me, and everyone else that fought Orphan for the first time.

Damm you nailed everything! The Aberration, the lament of a mother and the rage of her son.

"I'm not ready" Yeah that is spot on with the orphan of kos

This music is missing something... oh yeah... ORPHAN SCREAMING!!!

Brilliant breakdown as always! The first time I fought the orphan, I was so upset by the orphan's horrible screams that I couldn't listen to the music very well. Then I listened to it again and found it to be an amazing piece. The first part is full of the feeling of despair, as if this mournful baby is carrying all the tragedies of the Bloodborne world, and then in the second part, the vibes become terrifying, it feels like the orphan's despair turns into fierce anger. It left an indescribably powerful impression. Thanks for the video, Davi!

"Ahh, sweet child of Kos, returned to the ocean... A bottomless curse, a bottomless sea. Accepting of all that there is and can be..."

The song with the screams feels right, without the screams theres almost a haunting wrongness to it

I never realized that funny YEEEEOOOOW one-shot man had such a complex and beautiful theme. This shit rules

You haven’t got to this point yet and you probably won’t find out about it’s lore in your regular playthrough by yourself (it’s pretty complex/scattered around the game) but it’s sad. Really sad and disturbing. The lonely voice in the first phase always reminds me of the lone wind howling over the empty ocean. Peak BloodBorne.

He plays Bloodborne, he analyzes Bloodborne OST, I am all here for this ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

The story behind this boss is very intense. Since you're doing a blind playthrough I'm not going to say anything but I hope you have "fun" getting there 😂

Banger of an OST, banger of a fight, sick lore. 10/10

Spoilers for the lore: Describing the chord as sad and deformed is fitting and the lament of the female voice likely represents Mother Kos herself, who is physically dead and who’s baby is now, as the name describes, an Orphan without it’s mother. The madness and rage that the song builds up to is the 2nd phase where the Orphan goes from being sad to angry at the player character for hurting it and trying to kill it. The Chord building in anxiety likely represents the Nightmare that the Orphan sustains. The nightmare traps the souls of all Hunters after their death for the crimes committed by the old hunters when they mutilated Kos’ corpse. Great Ones can’t have children as all their children are fated to die. When the old hinters desecrated her corpse they took her unborn child from her and so she “Cursed the fiends, their children too. And their children forever true”. By killing the orphan we free the souls of all the hunters trapped in the nightmare, including the ones who were born after the desecration of Kos and who had nothing to do with it but it isn’t heroic or redemptive. We’re killing a baby that has just been born and who upon coming into the world realized that it’s mother was dead mere moments before it sees our character walking towards it with the intention to kill it. It’s a shitty situation all round but for the sake of all the hunters who have ever lived and for those who had nothing to do with that crime we do what is necessary and in doing so allow the Orphan itself to be free of the nightmare itself and return to the ocean which is “accepting of all that there is and can be”.

Yesss!! More Bloodborne!! I’m always so excited for Soulsborne stuff. Perfect analysis as always

This OST isnt complete without the constant YEAAAAAWH YAAAAAH YAAAAAEEEEAHH Of Orphan

10:10 your reaction was Gold.

Thank you for doing this one, its one of my favourites in bloodborne. The first phase especially is so filled with tradegy and longing. The droning notes in the background is one of my favourite parts, it really makes it sound like a sadness with no end to it.

Maybe you could listen to Darkbeast paarls theme or Amygdala’s theme next. Both of them are also really good! Great video!

believing he truly doesn’t know the lore while dissecting SoulsBorne boss tracks (& I do Vasc👍) -utterly amazing how he *nails* such parallels of the boss stories. “Wonder if there’s any relevance…” Davi once again; I’m in disbelief the music is THIS connected to what’s going on/what happened As w/Orphan of Kos. This makes *SO* much sense. Kos was most likely cosmically beautiful. But what the hunters did & Kos being pregnant- -chilling! No words. All the times I’ve fought Orphan of Kos I didn’t pay much attention to the track cause he’s so damned brutal & aggressive. -sincerely amazing. Davi you’re an inspiration m8; completely appreciate your work, vids & true talent! One of the easiest subs I’ve ever clicked👍

Second phase is definition of the words 'feral' and 'relentless'. To my understanding, the Orphan of Kos is the child of a Great One and one whose mother died before its birth. The fight is you freeing its spirit from an endless nightmare created by the Great Ones to punish the Hunters for the death of Kos.

One of my favorite reactions of yours to watch! One of the best soundtracks in the game, has such a range of emotions

Oooh, perfect time to come back to watchsome of your Videos. I love the Orphan of Kos. It's my favorite fight and phase 1 is just so absolutely beautiful.

It's a great job that you are listening to these songs yet giving your opinions and explaining how the chords made such a feeling to the listener. I do apreciate your work. Keep up, and shine like a real composer in the halls of the opera.

This theme toe encapsulates a viceral fear from both parties Orphan is scared as you approach And your scared of the disturbing. Grotesque sight that is kos That viceral sadness is orphan crying out to its mom and that hatred at the end is it blaming *you* for it Thank you for coming for my Ted talk

I never realized how good this song was because I was busy fighting for my fucking life XD

YAY this is one of my favourites... even though i seem to always get headaches when im listening to this

The song actually not complete without the "YEOWWW!! YEOWWW".

Damn RU-vid! For not telling me you uploaded this 4 days ago. And I’m super excited for your Bloodborne play through!

I looove how spot-on you are! Also, Cleric beast! You MUST do Cleric beast!

YES!!! I wanted you to react to this one so badly!!

"oh God, I'm not ready". Yeah.. I said something similar when I saw 2nd phase for the first time..

Would recommend Queen of Vilebloods next if you're listening to more bloodborne tracks

Awesome video, like always. In the beggining of the song, i find that the first notes look a bit like "city of tears" from Hollow Knight... same ambiance, really cool

I never thought I'd see the day someone uses a shield in Bloodborne

As always, thank you for the video, I love your reactions. Looking forward to your Bloodborne gameplay. Bloodborne music just so good, especially the ones in the DLC. Just like in Dark souls 3. Are you planning to make more dark souls 3 videos? Highly recommend you Slave Knight Gael, Darkeater Midir, Sister Friede, Lorian and Lothric's theme, also Pontiff Sulyvahn.

Holy shit finally listening to my FAVORITE BOSS

You should listen to one of the touhou 18 tracks, to see how much ZUN has evolved

The Orphan of Kos is a deeply tragic character, when you think about it. It was born to a dead mother, and likely inherited the knowledge of the unspeakable atrocities committed upon said mother and the innocent villagers who worshipped her in peace. It stares at the sun and _cries,_ either from knowing why it even exists, or because it doesn't truly belong in the world by its very nature. Then it turns around and sees a human, dressed and armed exactly like the ones that murdered mother Kos. Being an infant who was only just born, and wielding the closest thing it can find- its own _placenta_ with an iron hook embedded in it- it reacts the only way it knows how: by violently lashing out at the being approaching it. The first phase of the music reflects the pain and despair the Orphan is feeling from being born into a world out to get it *just for existing.* The second phase represents the sheer rage it feels at the world, and of its dead mother for what was done to them.

3 months later it finally arrived

Thanks for uploading! It's always a pleasure to watch your bloodborne reactions/analysis. I'll make sure to watch your playthrough as well!

I been waiting for this since 03😭❤️‍🔥

Love the video and this theme. You should definitely give Lorian and lothrics theme from dark souls 3 it’s too good!

Hello Davi! I've been watching some of your videos about music in games, since the Dark Souls ones and I love them. Makes me feel, happy, how you can literally just speak lengths of a boss's personality just by listening to their OST. Today I wanted to request, if possible, that you do a Regal Ancestor Spirit OST from Elden Ring. It is one of my utmost favorite OST's from the entire game and I think it would be cool to see you react to it and what are your thoughts after hearing it. Keep up with the good stuff! Cheers

My man, I think you’d very much enjoy the Demon King Ganon boss theme (phase 2) it’s one of my favourite themes in any Zelda game. I love how it makes so many references to past games

For me, It's more accurate to call him "Motherless bastard of Kos".

I was always too busy getting a face full of placenta to actually hear the music for this boss. Shame cause it's rather haunting.

Hey davi could u do pontiff sulyvann from ds3 its one of my favourite tracks

I totally recommend the main menu music for Dark Souls III, it's a masterpiece.

your awesome dude love bloodborne

The real innocent character on the whole BB universe. Poor child of Kos, rest in peace

This soundtrack is as underrated as DS2 Aldia OST. Soo glad u covered this!

Can't wait for your fight with the Orphan

"please end" Yeah buddy... Yeah,,, I felt that on this boss xDDDDD

"Byrgenwerth... Byrgenwerth... Blasphemous murderers... Blood-crazed fiends... Atonement for the wretches... By the wrath of Mother Kos...Mercy for the poor, wizened child... Mercy, oh please... Curse here, curse there. A curse for he, and she, why care. A bottomless curse, a bottomless sea, source of all greatness, all things that be. Listen for the baneful chants. Weep with them, as one in trance. And weep with us, oh, weep with us... Listen for the baneful chants. A call to the bloodless, wherever they be. A call to the bloodless, wherever they be. Fix your ears, to hear our call."

Thank you for your video? Will you please review darkbeast theme?

This feels like the best time to inform you that the piece you heard for Lady Maria was NOT the full version. I would love to hear your thougts about the whole version.

It is indeed a lamentation...there is nothing positive about this encounter. Only sorrow...for the death. And the birth that should bot have been

Finally another soulsbrone music! Please do a breakdown for The Final Battle from Elden Ring and Burn Ivory King from Dark Souls 2!

If you could do Darkeater Midir from Dark Souls 3 I would love that!! I understand you have tons of requests and videos to do but man if you ever get a chance for that soundtrack it’d be worth the wait!!

MY DREAM FINALLY REALIZE!!!! THX DAVIIIII

My favorite composer listening to the best series of from soft

I hope you upload your Bloodborne playthrough!

That fight men, it's they very core of the nightmare, Kos Orphan líes at a limbo betwen the vigil and dream worlds 'couse he was killed while still being inside it's mother's uterus, the screams are the constant torment of living at uncertainty of existence.

*ahem* “YEEEEAAAAOOOWW”

A being of pure rage, confusion and loneliness. Roses are red, violets are blue. Wait did that thing just grow wings...YOOOOWWWWW!!!!!

YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS THANKS I LOVE U

Have Garmen. Bug I was Thinking also of Cleric Beast, Father Gsacoin and Moon Presence. And also Rom Micolash, Ebrietas, Amygdala and The one Reborn. And Merco's Wet Nurse.

10:18 Thats was my thought in the end of this fight. It realy was intense...so intense 😁💪

this song makes me want to cry

O man, I'd love to see you do more Elden Ring! Especially like Dragonlord Placidusax

"please end, oh God" - everyone fighting OoK

This track just doesn't sound right without the constant and repeated "YEEEEEEEEOOOOW" from the Orphan

This music hits different when the Orphan is screaming in your ear and flailing a placenta around.

just a quick thing about the gameplay in the corner, it's weird that Kos used the lightning attack twice in a row, it's usually more staggered than that

The reason why the song is chill most of the way through is because his screaming throughout the fight fills the lack of intensity

Please react to the Dark Souls 3 Main Theme OST Song, it’s such an easily thrown-away track but ode to the passion within the project of creating the game and complexity within the composition of such a beautiful sound track. Truly worth making a video on.

YEEEOOOWWW!!!

It's a miracle!!

you should see “The Hunter” Father Gascoigne’s ost

Describes how its supposed to give me anxiety and be tense as it feels like its giving me anxiety

Honestly the song isn't quite complete without the orphan's deranged wails and screams mixed into it. The anguish and madness of the stillborn abomination as it madly trashes around in a blind attempt to murder you with its bloody placenta after crawling from its murdered mother while unpleasant does complete the feel of it all.

I hear "Yeeeeeeooooowwwwww" "Ooooohhhhhhh".... it's the ptsd from fighting this boss for about 2 weeks, because I got to the dlc after being on NG+4! But this ost is amazing!!

to this day i have been unable to get past that one

i really want to see you break down the song BIG SHOT from the Spamton Neo fight in deltarune, but the song makes sense if you beat the game using multiple routes.

I really love your videos! Please do a Undertale Video again! :D

Hi Davi if you get a chance you have to listen to ifrit vs garuda it sounds majestic

Hello I got a recommendation if u can listen to gael ost, twin prince ost, or the final battle ost it would be nice love your work keep it up

Twin Princes boss music from Dark Souls 3, please! I’d love to hear your opinions on it.

Tragedy and sadness You god Dawn right

So there is a song behind the scream of pure rage ...

I know youve listened to it but i would love if you did one of these videos for darkeater midirs theme 🥲
