Opera Singer Reacts To Dethroned While playing The Witch Queen || Destiny 2 

My favorite thing about this fight was our ghost getting SO mad at her. He’s been through all of what we have and he’s MAD about everything we’ve been through at the hands of the darkness.

We need aztecross, sird, zanny, and the act man to carry this man through a raid. Vow of the disciple preferably.

It's very cool that since a Pyramid ship was discovered on the moon in Shadowkeep, that The Witness's influence spreads into other music tracks since then, reminding us it's coming Also pls check out The Witness's theme in the ost if u haven't already! It's track 32

Abridged version on the lore of why the worm familiar scene is so interesting: the previous lore we had of the Hive's origins from the Books of Sorrow said they made a pact with the Deep and the worm gods to survive a coming cataclysm. That scene tells us that this lore (told from the perspective of the Hive) was not the full story. The cataclysm that drove them to the Deep was a lie; the Traveler was actually coming to their home planet (they "will soon be claimed by The Light.") So to get to them first, Rhulk (the raid boss and an absolute Gigachad) single-handedly subjugated the work gods and then used them to take control of the hive. Through the pact they were tricked into making, ascendant Hive are now forced to feed their worms or die and the he literally has the worm mother captive in his pyramid. It's very fun to re-read the Books of Sorrow knowing the full story.

If you wanted to look up that theme you were jamming to starting at approx 6:58, that's Abberant Path. Which on the soundtrack, is the first combat theme you hear! Also Savathun's fight theme is called the Dethroned, which is a fantastic allusion name wise to Regicide, Oryx's fight theme

Man, we gotta get you into Vow of the Disciple. The art designs, encounters and god, the *music,* it is a truly spectacular experience. The First Disciple is by no means the only banger in that collection.

Aberrant Path was my favorite song in the Witch Queen expansion right next to Seeking the Light

With the track that plays during Savathun's fight, 'The Dethroned', I like to think that the heavy use of strings also represents the torrent of light she uses to fight back. All throughout Destiny, the Light has always been a string instrument played in a major key. This time, it has been twisted to be used against us, twisting it into a minor key instead.

Beyond light and WQ got some of the best tracks in the game *especially dsc*

really fw these videos bro . always loved the Destiny songs and you offer sum really interesting insights on it .

This was an absolute treat to listen and watch! I really enjoyed your analysis of the Witch Queen tracks and I cannot wait to see your analysis for Lightfall in the future!

it was a absolute blast to watch you go true the game and analize the music like this, and i cant wait for you to do the same with lightfall.

I have rarely enjoyed a Playthrough of Destiny as much as this one! Keep it up, that format is absolutely fantastic and unique. Love from Germany

I love seeing these videos and I have always loved destiny music, so to see you play through and do a music analysis is amazing!! From one Marco to another :)

Its been a ride watching your musical playthrough Marco! See you in Lightfall and looking forward to the musical playthrough.

Man, so glad you finally got through this campaign! It’s honestly amazing, and the music gets me hyped everytime. We gotta get this man through some raids everybody!

Finally got to watching this playthrough finale, you had about the same reaction to the finale music and the witness reveal as I remember having!

Little piece of advice: Taipan is a LFR, it's only a good DPS option if you're landing crits, otherwise you're better off with any other heavy, and you don't need an LFR to kill a thrawl.

I felt these reactions too as I played through it for the first time last year! :D

Really hope you do one of these playthroughs for Lightfall. I loved seeing your reactions to the music and the story

This was an amazing journey! It was a pleasure seeing you play the campaign and i hope to see you play Lightfall soon! See ya starside Marco!

Loved this, hyped for lightfall!

i hope someone suggests 'Dialga's fight to the finish' on the patreon, seeing marco reaction to that songs would be amazing

Seeing your excitement to this finale was so great, truly is the best campaign we’ve had yet in this franchise.

I really enjoyed watching these destiny playthroughs, looking forward to the lightfall one.

Been an awesome watch :D. haha finally got to see megamind!! (the witness) its a meme lol Cant wait for Lightfall. Its only next week!!

the final mission's ost is one of my favourites in witch queen, it felt so grand and fitting for savathun

07:02 this melody reminds me "You Picked up the Wrong Rodentian" from Omensight. Maybe even a video of this game will end up appearing on this channel.

Marco, since i'm pretty sure from seeing you fire your sidearm that you arent using it, recently Destiny added a full-auto toggle in the setting for all guns. makes some guns much more comfortable to use

Sooo, about that cutscene. I'd suggest watching "Dynasty" by MyNameIsByf, it detailed everything we knew about the Krill/Hive from before Witch Queen.

For anyone new or old that thinks Destiny 2 looks pretty neat (and it is). The Witch Queen expansion has been made free for all until February 26th! Xbox players will have to check out the store on their console to claim and other platforms should be able to simply login and start gaming!

YOURE DONE HELL YEAH! We still need to get you through the raid hahaha.

Something that I really have enjoyed about the soundtrack the last few years is how good Bungie is at telling their story through it. We first heard that Darkness motif at the end of the vanilla D2 campaign when the pyramid ships woke up. It wasnt until Shadowkeep that we started hearing that again, and ever since, as the Witness drew closer, that motif slowly but subtly started making its way into the music more and more as time went on. Songs thats previously didnt have the motif in it got remixed to be more distorted and play those synths. You really got to feel how the influence of the Witness was coming to its peak.

really good series, hyped for lightfall

Watching this and seeing threadbound right after Savathun is killed really cements that strand was meant for this expansion.

OH NO! You need to run through the Rasputin story line! It's just too good to miss on out!

Damn, sad at the finale, but glad to see it all done! My friends run raids regularly so I’d love to get you in through one

Your breakdowns of the music are top notch as usual and I agree the music is phenomenal in this expansion. But I think another part that really cements this expansion as one of the best is Debra Wilson as Savathun. She's really the perfect pick.

YEAH DETHRONED!!!! If you want to listen to the final theme, it’s track 30, The Dethroned.

Apparently the new lightfall title screen is out and the theme that comes with it is actually really nice -would suggest listening to it!

It's been a blast watching you play through this. And you'll notice there's a sense of melancholy in the orbit music after knowing that the Hive were lied to. I know you said a few days ago you'd be dropping LPs, is that still the plan or are you planning to stream Lightfall? Either way I'm looking forward to tagging along for that one as well, with all the neo-pop synthwave 80s vibes we certainly have in store. :D

Now, make a reaction video to the main theme to see where they pulled motifs from

A fun fact. Any lore entry that has "O {title} mine" anywhere in the chapter is canonically altered by Ahamkara to not be true lore. It is a 4th wall break even in the physical books. e.g.: "And thus the Ahamkara were made extinct, their call silenced, their solipsistic flatteries erased, their great design - if it ever existed - broken. Of this you can be assured, oh reader mine." On a more related note, Savathun knew this about the Witness and the Worms. You retrieved more of her memories. Being resurrected by the light, she lost her memories like everyone else who is brought back. She is actually the reason why one of the main villains is trapped, it was her doing to keep one of the Witness's Disciples at bay out of spite. Her lost memory is a detriment, as was you killing her.

And its not even a week until Lightfall yooooo

Marco my man... There was a third wizard to kill to get a buff in order to multiply your damage against Savathun... You really went and ignored the whole fight's mechanic just to damage her normally. Such dedication! 🤣 Well I guess it means more time listening to this track, so it's cool! The last part of this extension really has amazing tracks. Between Dethroned, Abhorrent path and Seeking the Light... Damn. Great analysis as always. You were really into it and it shows. I know you won't do much gameplay videos after that, but I'm glad you got to make this one about the WQ campaign!

We need him to do the raid

Savathun was basically trying to "trap" the Traveler in her own Throne World, Throne Worlds work as the "Owner" of them wants them to work, so Savathun wanted to get the Traveler in her own world, where everything acts by her own rules, making it unaccessable or something else, ofc we don't know if that was enough to stop the Witness or not but at the time it seemed like it. Add to this the fact that the Witness is about to collide with the Traveler in the newest trailer(s) the whole "The game is yours to play now" really hits hard. The Traveler could've been saved, maybe in the wrong hands but saved nonetheless, but we took it back and we might've bit off a more than we could chew. Atleast it stands with us right?! Because it stayed? Well... we don't know if the Traveler stayed because it believes in us, because the Witness said "It has nowhere else left to run".

The light and the dark, the traveler and the pyramids, the gardener and the winnower. They’re just chess players and we are the pieces.

Little tip for gameplay, your heavy weapon you have on, does 5 or 6 times the damage if you hit headshots

It’s probably a bit long for a react video, but if you ever get the chance I’d give my highest recommendation to listening to Destiny 1’s 49 minute Music of the Sphere’s. It’s an 8 movement piece and Marty O'Donnell considers it to be his magnum opus even above his work in Halo. The entire work was a collaborative effort between Marty, Mike Salvatori, and Paul McCartney. Who Marty managed to recruit from an off the cuff comment taken seriously that ultimately lead to every star falling into place. 😂

Watching Marco waste heavy ammo on a single thrall tho

I know few people have heard this from MHGU but have you heard this? Proof of a Hero ~ Miracle☆Mill&Caty its the Ending song of MHGU. Also try the MHGU Proof of a hero its good!

If you haven’t had an opportunity to raid, my team would absolutely take you through any you wanted to do. Kinda random to offer in a yt comment, I know, but I genuinely enjoyed watching your play through and as amazing as the campaign music is, it’s even better in the raids. Deepstone Lullaby made me cry the first time I experienced it. It would be a pleasure to be able to share.

Maybe react to the Lightfall launch trailer? Idk your choice. Love to hear your thoughts. But with lightfall so close that may be pointless.

My favorite thing about the Witness is he is so “alien” looking that it’s hard to explain what he looks like. Almost incomprehensible. So different from everything we’ve seen in the game thus far.

Why are you so wholesome lol. Love watching you catch up on the story, and have wanted content dissecting the music of this game for a long time. What's your favorite motif in Destiny?

You should react The Man They Called Cayde

I know you've reacted to The First Disciple, but if you want to make a video on the Vow of the Disciple Raid before Lightfall, my squad can run it with you.

Lo scorso episodio è stata la rivelazione e adesso hai visto la conclusione dei questo capitolo. Pronto a scoprire cosa viene dopo?

I think you would find real message in a lot of the music from Nier automata since a lot of it is opera based so would love to see an experts breakdown

With the way the story’s going I wouldn’t be supriesd if we let Savathun be revived and offer peace for the hive and humanity to stand against the darkness they have the cabal scorn and taken we have the other half of the cabal the elikni. We kinda need the hive to even the odds for us

Really hope to see you check out the atomic heart soundtrack soon, especially the ones by Geoffrey day and mick Gordon

Kingdom Hearts!!!

you should try to listen through the vanilla terraria ost.

Have you heard last wish raid?

In my opinion, the best parts of your videos are when you join into the songs. Be it humming or improvising, It feels great because I can join in too. I don't feel intemidated by your full operatic voice.

I didn’t know you played destiny?
