Pierro Battle Theme Phase I & II (Fan-Made) | Genshin Impact 

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a good day and enjoyed the theme! There has been requests for Pierro’s battle theme and finally here it is! This is my second time uploading Pierro content in my channel, the first Pierro fan made theme was more to his personal theme or like his story teaser (kind of). I never really thought of how Pierro’s battle theme would sound like but I can finally come up with something! First of all, I know this is not your usual Genshin type of boss theme and I am aware of that. However, I like to think that Genshin might do something different for the ‘final’ bosses. I imagine that if we ever fight Pierro, he’ll be the last and final Harbinger boss we have to face. And I like to imagine that the theme would sound more terrifying and more serious, almost apocalyptic probably. The slow but hard hitting percussion in this theme symbolises his immense power and especially the fact that he was originally from Khaenri’ah further amplified his mysterious strength. I imagine we will be faced with difficulties in trying to defeat him. While he is incredibly strong, I also like to portray him as this elegant/charismatic character. In the first phase, you can obviously hear the drum rhythms sounding apocalyptic with the accompany of brass instruments, but underneath all of them, I intended to make it sound romantic, especially during 1:34. And of course, you can hear the Fatui motif in 1:13! A bit off topic but I think my addiction towards Elden Ring played a role in this fan theme hahah, I’ve been referencing and listening to a lot of Elden Ring themes (if you haven’t heard their themes I highly recommend!) Now for the phase 2.. I stated above that Elden Ring’s soundtracks played a role in this fan theme, the whole phase 2 was referencing one of Elden Ring’s boss theme named ‘The Final Battle’. It is the theme for the final boss of Elden Ring and I think it’s quite fitting to reference this theme for Pierro’s phase 2 as there is a high chance Pierro will be the final Harbinger boss we have to face (if we ever to fight him). Now, it has been a common formula that the phase 2 will have a grander introduction than phase 1, and I’ve been doing that with my previous double phases fan themes. However I’d like to experiment on Pierro’s theme and overall just want to make his theme different than the others. Therefore, I started phase 2 with a rather simple introduction. I focused more on the atmosphere building with the strings coming in and out, the vocals sounding ominous as well. Some of you might think how can this be the phase 2 of a boss theme? Personally for me, I have never experienced a phase 2 with a quieter intro compared to the phase 1 but that occurred to me when I was fighting Elden Beast, the final boss of Elden Ring. The phase 2 is much much quieter than phase 1 but it sounded very ominous and even somber. However I felt like it’s so fitting for a final boss, your ears are not bombarded with percussions going crazy or anything like that, it felt like you’re alone in this arena facing the final boss and it was so serious and unsettling, even. It was such an amazing experience when I felt that (of course I died many times and finally asked for help to other players LMAO). So, back to Pierro’s theme, I wanted to recreate that feeling but now it’s in Genshin and you are facing the final boss of the Fatui Harbingers. Right after the introduction section is done, we move on to the (for a lack of better word) tragic part, where it played the Fatui motif. The Fatui has been one of our main enemies but realising now that if we defeat Pierro, the Fatui Harbingers will be no more, is such a complex feeling. Sure, in the traveller’s eyes they have done so many wrong things, but the traveller have gained strength fighting the harbingers and they will not be as strong as they are if there weren’t any harbingers. So in a way, the harbingers have given the traveller strength and motivation. But it doesn’t end there. Pierro tried to fight back for the final time, trying to protect on what he believed in. in 3:37 the theme picked up the energy. However the feeling is different, you don’t hear the terrifying atmosphere you feel during phase 1. It sounded more desperate and kind of like the ‘final push’ of Pierro to try and stop the traveller. He tried everything in his might to defeat the traveller. However his efforts all come to a waste. 5:14 is an additional part to the theme where I imagine there’ll be a cutscene at the end of the fight of Pierro talking to the traveller. I will leave this part to your imagination and I will look forward to all your incredible stories! Thank you everyone for giving this theme a listen and I hope you enjoyed it! And as always I wish you all a very good day! - Farabi Hasan

For those who don't know any of the lore, Pierro is form Khaenri'ah, which is the same nation that Kaeya and Dainsleif hailed from. He has a strong influence over the Fatui and perhaps even Snezhnaya and all of Teyvat, just below the Tsaritsa. His stern accent and behavior shows that he was a failed general who exerted futile attempts to defend his kingdom and yet he attempted to hide his past.

Pierro is such a strong harbinger that he isn’t even a harbinger

This is a masterpiece, literally making me emotional. I think this is your best musical piece so far. It suits him so well. You can feel the anger and sadness in the theme. I think Pierro is just a broken hero who is trying to avenge his homeland and this theme is mirroring my thoughts perfectly.👏

If I don't get him as a playable character I will riot

The vocals, the instrumental really describes that we clearly know he's one of the strongest harbingers and that's what always hits us when thinking about him, knowing he's powerful, but still, we don't truly know him well so I think that the calm easy-going part would be he and the traveler making final "agreement" or some kind of promise, which we again, do not know, since Pierro is mistery guy. I loved this battle theme, splendid!!!

O_O I'm at a loss. words cannot fully describe how deeply impressed I am. "I don't understand what I've walked into, but I'm now having an existential crisis," is the least I can say. (Not like I don't have some kind of crisis every week)

This went insane, the melancholic vibes? The mystery? Its got everything

This seems like a boss battle gone way wrong and the MC is near death which makes it hella cool for imaginary boss fights!!

It feels like this character will not surrender alive. This music tells about of something like self-destruct buff spell.

After listening this like 4 times i realized how similar this sounds to Lord of Cinder's ost from DS3. An intense first phase with amazing vocals and a melancholic second phase with a piano (although this one has an intense part in second phase too). I really cannot express how good this track is, it became my favourite soundtrack made by you in an instant. Edit: i mixed the names with the DS1 soundtrack, DS3 version is Soul of Cinder

Amazing as always!!. I love this part 2:30 - 3:30 so much it makes me feel as if we witness the futui end, I'd live to have this extended. It's so sad and emotional to me

The Childe has been bested bordering on being a turncoat. The Knave was humbled. The Regrators wealth has been wasted. The Fair Lady reduced to ash. The Marionette cut from her strings. The 6th seat, empty for centuries... The mayor was overthrown and cast aside. The Captain bested in his realm of expertise. The Damselette no longer sings instead an eerie silence drowns the halls The Doctors sins caught up with him, torn to shreds by a vengeful wanderer. The Jester is the last one standing. In possession of a will to see the old world burned away, he cannot falter here for the Tsaritsa's will must be carried out. He has witnessed a cataclysm before... he will be damned if he lets one occur again with victory so close at hand.

Dayumm another masterpiece and it fits pierro so much, its so grand, majestic and menace like i imagine, Cold, Merciless you nailed it🔥🥵

the one who was there since the very beginning of our journey the one who set everything in motion and the one who tried to stop what was to come if he isnt the most importent genshin character i dont know who is

Boss Daddy of the Fatui Harbingers, 1st of the harbingers or the director or the Fatui dosen't really mean anything, he is still the Apex predator of the Fatui and the right hand man of the Cryo Archon. Good Job Farabi!!

Pierro is so powerful, he theoretically isn't number 1 of the 11, but is the leader of the harbingers.

Wonderful work as always, Farabi. I can tell that a lot of thought and effort went into this piece. It communicates the Fatui’s last stand against the Traveller very well. In this final battle against the last remaining Fatuus, I’d think that perhaps Tartaglia would have a role to play in defeating Pierro; perhaps as a as a Thank You to the Traveller for everything they did for him on his journey and to free his family from the Fatui’s grasp at long last. If you ever watched the “House of Wolves” Hoyofair animation, you may see my reason for thinking Tartaglia will help us defeat Pierro. Or perhaps he will tell us to stand down so he can deal with Pierro himself because he has always wanted to cross blades with him. I believe that during this time, Childe may take a heavy blow from Pierro in his own fight or in order to protect the Traveller while they both fight him, leaving Childe gravely injured. The bonus melody at 5:14 you said was up to our interpretation, so I shall give my two cents below. After Pierro’s defeat, both Childe and Pierro are gravely injured. We may see a cutscene where Pierro tells the Traveller about the atrocities Celestia did to Khaenri’ah and why the Tsaritsa formed the Fatui. He apologizes to Tartaglia for the final time and tells the Traveller to reason with the Tsaritsa and to fight back against the fate that was bestowed upon them by the Heavenly Principles. His final order is to tell us to carry Tartaglia away from Zapolyarny Palace and get him to a doctor or healer. After we lift Tartaglia onto our back, we make for the Palace exit. The camera then cuts to Pierro lying on the floor, dying. He reminisces on his overextended life . He remembers his life in Khaenri’ah before the cataclysm. In a flashback, We see how he had a wife and children who were killed in Celestia’s onslaught. We see how the he and the Tsaritsa found each other and decided to join forces against the Heavenly body that ended a civilization. He closes his eyes for the final time and smiles, finally happy to be reunited with his family. Mean while, thanks to their strength. the Traveller swiftly carries Tartaglia through the Palace corridors with ease, however since there are on Snezhnaya’s most wanted list, the streets of the Capital are covered with Snezhnayan military. Due to Childe’s condition, they have no choice but to go out into the open to get help. What follows is what often happens during a sad or serious situations in most movies which would suit the melody at 5:14 well: As Traveller emerges from entranceway of the Palace with Childe on their back, the cutscene animation slows dramatically, and the background dialogue slows down to faint echos and the soundtrack overwhelms the scene completely. We see the slow movement of the Traveller and Paimon’s mouths as they are calling into the crowd of Fatui soldiers for medical help. But there are no voices to be heard as the music has dramatically taken over the scene. We see Fatui foot soldiers separating the Traveller and Tartaglia. Two soldiers take Childe by either arms and carefully settle him onto the ground on his back, calling for the any Hydro skirmishers. Traveller is grabbed by both arms by two more Fatui but Paimon is able to fly up to avoid the Fatui’s hands. She flies around, looking down at the Traveller, when she finally makes eye contact with them. As they are struggling against the Fatui soldiers, Traveller looks up at Paimon, giving her a hopeful, determined look. They grin up at her and nod their head. She reciprocates the gesture and flies away, making sure to dodge rifle shots. She knows now that this is the chance the Traveller will get to meet the Tsaritsa. Paimon weaves her way around buildings and out of the Capital to get help, which is what Traveller had taught her to do were they to get captured again. (“Help”presumably being from the characters we’ll meet in the Snezhnaya Archon quests). After the Traveller sees Paimon fly safely out of view, they pretend to be overcome by the Fatui soldiers and is pinned face-down to the snow-covered ground. They try to see what’s happening to Childe between the all the Fatui soldiers’ boots. Several Hydro Skirmishers are making their way towards to Childe in an attempt to heal him. The final beat at 6:36 Is where the camera fades to black where we are in the Traveller’s point of view struggling see Childe from their position on the ground, looking through the crowd of Fatui’s boots. The next scene shows the Traveller in a prison cell with their clothes still caked in Childe’s blood. They await to be brought before the Tsaritsa and for news of Childe’s condition. And I think I’ll leave it at there. I don’t want this to drag on for too long. I know it already has. And I honestly really don’t want Childe to die in the story. For those of you who made it this far, thank you for listening to my rambling. I wish you all the best!

2:54 onwards gives me Dark Souls vibes and I love it. Very nice music you are producing here on your channel. Instantly subscribed!

Wow! This is an incredible fanmade track! That 1:37 choir jump gave me literal chills. It really feels like a sorrowful and ominous final. Splendid work! :)

From 2:33 onwards give me goosebumps man, then at 3:16 its like traveler just witnessing some terrifying stuff😨

I imagine him fighting us using the power of all every Gnosis or at least the 6 that aren’t the Cryo Gnosis. Like maybe Phase I is him using a Cryo Vision, then Phase II is him using the Gnoses to fight you

This. Is. Music. One of the best fan-made soundtrack I’ve ever heard. Keep doing the good work and I look forward to the next masterpiece !

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AAAAAAAA I liked your thought process about making the intro to the Phase II more quiet/somber! And the way it progresses from there...Simply amazing! I think this is one of my new favorites from you ✨️

This sounds like a...tragic hero's anthem.

I love the fromsoftware feel from this. Pierro actually feels like a character from those games.

Pls this making me simping more 😔

Setting: Khaenri'ahn Palace Dungeon Title: Rondo of the Forsaken Nation Pierro's true name: Gungnir, the Spear of Destiny. Phase 1 Title: Archmage of the Forsaken Land Phase 2 Title: The Abyssal Vindicator Companions: Gramr, Tyrfingr, and Mjolnir.

LOVE IT! i cant wait to meet him in game

I am appalled by this track. It is phenomenal, grand, menacing, and yet… it is somber. Hopeless. A survivor from a devastated nation. A being cursed to forever live, and never feel the sweet release of death. A survivor of Khaenri'ah. I feel that we will fight Pierro at the demolished gates of Khaenri'ah, with him being the last standing member of the Fatui. And the second phase will take place within the abyss, with him slowly being overpowered by us, yet not letting us spare him. Forcing us to kill him, and finally ridding him of his wretched curse.

It feels so much like something you'd hear during one of the bigger battles in Kingdom Hearts, which is also, strangely, very fitting to be honest. I love it!!

Thank you for this amazing work! I like ending melancholy theme so much. Can't wait to see this awesome character in the game

Oh man. 20 seconds in and I have goosebumps.

The transition to a melancholic mood is very original and totally unexpected, I loved that!

"I'm Pierro, Blade of the Tsaritsa, and I've never known defeat." (I know he's a Catalyst, but nvm haha) This, is again, a masterpiece !

Since the fatui are hunting for all the seven gnosis, I have a feeling that Pierro will one day betray the Tsaritsa by stealing her gnosis.

Definitely some elden ring type of beat hahahah, pierro must be that boss that you need to keep dodging his strong attacks or something. This just gives me the idea that he still lives by his khaenri'ah pride, his song must be so majestic and elegant as if the location of the fight will be at an ancient castle that has broken down with elevated platforms that will consistently move. Somewhat, this music truly expose the motive of one's character, even if you take him down, he will fight to what he believes in even if it means destroying you or himself. very tragic of a character I must say. well done Farabi~

This is a masterpiece. Truly epic. I love it so much. You definitely managed to capture this character and turn him into music. 👏👏👏👏

Hoyo your employees just keep escaping the studio lol Anyway, masterpiece, that's all i can say, have a nice day!

Second phase gives me the Dark Souls 3 vibes because of the music and the choir

Cant wait to fight dark souls boss Pierro when we finally challenge the Tsaritsa.

Can't wait to meet him!!😍😍 Really nice work with the OST!💪🏼

Are you ready for the feast in the final banquet? Be prepared! Only losers shall know the true power of Darkness hehehe this theme is darker, i like so much =)

Someone wil not survive this battle 05:25 " it has to be this way ... " -Aether/Lumine

I like this darksoul style music

Ferocious fanatic under of mask of cold charisma. You are really good psychologist.

The Vocals are extremely terrifying and the Brass and Strings support the atmosphere. Very good Job!

This is larger than life in every way. I am utterly speechless

Musterpiece! Very powerful! But after a recent quest, I strongly want justice for Khaenriah, so in my mind this battle theme is not about our fight with Pierro, but about the one where we help him take revenge on those who destroyed his nation (I hope these are not our friends).

Epic as always man,soar into the great beyond brother

Such a shame this isn't on spotify

Pronto lucharemos contra el primero de los once heraldos en la 7,2 estoy muy nervioso ❤😨

"Welcome to the old-new world"

I really wanna know what the Tsaritsa's reaction will be when Pierro,her last harbinger,gets defeated by us.I don't believe we'd be able to kill multiple harbingers without the Tsaritsa interfering at least in some way,especially if we end up killing or just somehow turning them to our side lmao.

Incoming paragraphs of text. Be warned and prepare your reading mind. The gods are watching. As a Pierro wanter over all other harbingers (I love the trope of the "white/grey-haired, cunning, manipulative, powerful, warrior-king" who is undeniably at the top of the government's hierarchical food chain), I loved this theme. I've been looking for a Pierro theme all across RU-vid. Your previous one was very good and captured the essence I wanted, but wasn't... overwhelmingly incomprehensible and emotional enough...? Kind of the vibe you get with Columbina, but Pierro is from Khaenri'ah. Like imagine Dainsleif's Khaenri'ahn/Abyssal powers but scaled to perhaps 20x (could be wrong on this interpretation of power ranking, but that's the vibes they give me). Other themes on here didn't quite hit the exact nail I was itching for, either, but they are still very, very good. This hits the nail. You did a great job taking reference from soulsborne games. The underlying emotions just under the surface of his raw, untennable power is very intensely and obviously present in the battle, altering his combat style/control even. He's lost so much, perhaps he's somehow lost even more than just his homeland-nevertheless how traumatizing that may be-maybe he's lost far more than we can even hope to imagine. It's not like anyone would walk out of genocide and be perfectly unchanged, unaltered, not ruined. And to be fighting us, to lose one of the last things he has been left, that he can barely hold onto by the fragile watchful eye of greater and more heartless gods, he *cannot* lose this fight. A dream to rectify his wrongs, to avenge his fallen homeland, to create a new world and a new order. To burn the old to ash. Without gods, without tyrants, there will be no subservience to such monsters. Without the restrictions of this world, they may begin anew what once was. His final chance at a mere and petty redemption, slipping away by our dull blades. He, in all his wondrous and unfathomable might and cunning, is powerless against a creature summoned by the heavens. Is this truly the right thing for us to do, Travellers? Do we want to fight begotten, betrayed, broken heroes? Or will we fight tyrannical, controlling, apathetic gods? Are we on the right side of this war? _This_ is the Director of the Fatui Harbingers, and yet he is still just a mortal fool. A sinner. A broken, desperate outcry against countless-no, seemingly endless-cold and unforgiving storms of unsympathetic immortal wrath. It wasn't enough. It will never be enough. How dare us-we have no right to be the final nail in the Khaenri'ahn legacy's coffin. Good job. I guess it was finally my turn to write my interpretation of a fan theme. God, I love it so, so much. :)

I love your music style

I wonder if people at Miyoho listen to these and think God damn that's good.

Для огромного шкафо-деда самое то

Pierro vs Dainsleif

omg i think its your best piece so far! i've been listenning to all your music but this make me tremble the most! keep doing!

Unexpectedly, but I've always wanted to hear from you a different version of Pierro's battle theme. To be honest, I didn't really like the first one, because it doesn't give me the feeling of almost the final battle in the game. Moreover, it seems to me that we will fight with Pierro, and not the Tsaritsa. I have a feeling that in fact the founder of Fatui has a lot of power. Sometimes it seems that the Tsaritsa for Pierro is the same pawn in the game, he pursues his own interests. Why do I think so? Firstly, he was a court magician - this is a very high status, the stupid and weak (to put it mildly) will not be allowed to enter such a post. Pierro is incredibly cunning and smart, only he could understand what is fraught with angering the gods. They didn't listen to him, because most likely they didn't take his words seriously. Now he can only prepare for war with Celestia. Secondly, in the trailer of Fatui, Pierro said about the "Old" world, I can make an assumption that he wants to create a "New" world and the Tsaritsa may not enter it. Most likely, he has bigger plans than just a riot. In general, I would like to hear the Khaenri'ah battle theme, since I am already a fan of this region. I know that we almost never heard Khaenri'ah music, but we can take into account that the region was taken largely from German-Scandinavian myths and legends. We also sometimes heard music partially related to Khaenri'ah. P.S. I know that the old world is connected with the lore of the Genshin Impact, but this does not change the essence of my words.

This is just so cool and make a great atmosphere :0

i imagine him like a DS1 final boss

Невероятно красиво. Вы большой молодец!))

Man. Hoyoverse should just hire you at this point

MASTERPIECE

What an interesting piece, It epitomizes the action of falling down, and enhances the idea of pathos, tragedy and fatality simulateously. Have you leanrt music theory ? because there are some interesting points in your composition such as the fact that sometimes, instead of passing through the 5th degree, after the 2nd , you push on the note of the 1st degree at the low register, which is not that conventional, but dispite, giving more tension in the musical phrase.

Its so goooooood

I'm cry...

If I may ask, which plugin are you using for the choir and the drums? They sound amazing, I love them! Also damn this is really cool.

Imagine we just play chess

Behold the Number 0 of all The Harbingers

4:24 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😩😩😩😩

it gives those star wars fights

I bet he will appear in shnezayah

Cast aside theres no coming home

Idk but this reminds me so much of soul of cinder from dark souls 3 its crazy.

👍

Question will this ever be coming to Spotify? I use Spotify usually on my ps5, that's why I'm asking.

i love you. that’s all lol

I'm waiting for Columbina 2 phase

This may sound like an unusual request, idk if you played or at least heard of Epic 7 but recently i've been curious to see what your version of this would sound like. Eternal love and my promise to you are both different versions from their event with a limited edition 5 star with eternal love being exploration theme and my promise to you being the battle theme if you could merge them together. I was also thinking if you can have Aether and Ayaka as the thumbnail since they are more known plus a similar version would sound nice if they ever spar, but you could also use the background from that video. Lastly, I also got a video in the works where I shout out you and Heosmin out so be on the lookout for that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n03QzG3h_vc.html

Pierro seems to me to secretly play with my little pony toy's and giggles like a girl ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

İ can't believe people are actually down bad for him hes literally a grampa what the fuck 💀
