@@hansidk7200 we gained more questions than anything but later this year as long as u have lightfall there's a quest that explains certain things (This was said in the most recent twab)
Seeing oryx for the first time for scale in d1 during kings fall. Hearing this music kick in as his MASSIVE hand grabs the front of the room and pulls himself up to reveal how insanely huge he is. Gives me chills to this day
What’s interesting about Oryx is that unlike most villains who have this grand goal in mind and want it done now, he postpones his grand plan for one reason: YOU. In a previous storyline, you kill his eldest son, Crota. For context, Oryx and the rest of his family are supposedly immortal. Whenever they die, they reappear in a pocket dimension to regenerate. They only die for good if you kill them while in the dimension yourself. Not very many villains have a personal vendetta towards the player, which is why Oryx is so scary. (Edit: he also send spectators of himself to personally hunt you down.)
@@Azrael_Equinox Now in Ghosts of the Deep we learn Xivu Arath probably has a vendetta against us for killing Oryx but especially dishonoring him by not taking his throne after killing him.
I remember when I first faced him in the campaign. His "AT LAST! I WILL HAVE VENGEANCE!" gives me chills to this day and then the raid. Oh man the raid. King's Fall remains one of my top 3 even with D2 being in it's 6th year.
The slow decay that you were talking about could also be referencing the hunger of Oryx’s worm. When we go and face Oryx in the raid we’ve killed most of his court which means his sources of tribute are diminished which means in turn that Oryx can not feed his worm and so his worm starts to eat him.
Also how, as Savathun noted, the worms paradoxically grow hungrier the MORE you feed them, needing to do more and more to feed the nature they enforce upon their hosts. Savathun's lore entries while impersonating Osiris mentions how while in the Last City, just living as Osiris, her worm has never fed so well as it does then, but even as it's full to bursting, it's crying out for more and faster.
@@DaSuDanesi IIRC, she also tried tricking either her Worm or a different one by putting it in orbit around a blackhole (ala Interstellar) to trick it into thinking it was getting more in a shorter time, but the worm saw the deception and increased how much it needed.
@@DaSuDanesihis is also the focal point for Savathûn’s plot to “steal” the light. By serving herself as a supplicant to the Traveler, she could be revived in the name of the Light, where she would then trick us into reminding her of her memories she lost after her resurrection (after all, guardians have no memory of Before). Her worm was simply becoming too hungry. It wasn’t enough. With her revival by a Ghost and her gaining the Light, she gained immortality, no worm attached.
As a strictly D2 Guardian, I didn't really understand what an impact Oryx made on the game until my first time in the King's Fall raid. When this song starts, and Oryx muscles his way into the arena, there were no words. All hail the King!
@@iballisticbee2285 Aetheon has a very cool intro, too. Unfortunately players miss it because they're doing last minute pre-encounter prep. Regicide commands us to attention with maximum drama. I'm so glad they brought it into Destiny 2.
This music still hits hard even as the years go by. I truly love the regality and the grandiose feelings that this song gives you. Even without playing the game and with no prior knowledge; this music paints a canvas of who Oryx is and begins to weave the tale of his story intertwined with ours. It's as if the world around you begins to darken as you feel the decent into the depths of the Dreadnought. Immediately you are drawn into the game the moment you hit the title screen, that is what I love about this song. Such great immersion right off the bat with no waiting around.
I still wish we could see his og campaign intro in d2, what a powerful scene back on old consoles. You step into his chambers, and into pitch black, and a white flame traces away into the darkness until it hits a door and inscribes it with his sigil as it moves to the sides. Then in the darkness you just barely see him, silhouetted by a penumbra, before he draws in all the darkness into himself and snaps around to face you with lighting returning to normal, draining your super as the fight starts "I will finish what Crota began!"
Still one of the greatest boss entrances in Destiny, especially when the music kicks in as the darkness wraps around him, oh man that gives me chills every time I watch it. Here it is if anyone is curious about it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RNi4W6xDMKk.html
Regicide (the song played during the campaign boss fight with Oryx) and Last Stand (the song played during the raid boss fight with Oryx) both encapsulate the fear and suspense I remember experiencing each time I played and faced the Taken King. Destiny music never fails to disappoint!
I always loved the use of brass to describe something incredibly massive. The cabal use brass a ton and Rhulk and Oryx have this theme littered all over.
My personal favourite ost is the Sanctified mind's (garden of salvation finale boss) while Beyond light is packed FULL of fantastic music everywhere you go
One Request or Recommendation I'd love to see: "A God on Mars" a Destiny 2: Warmind Soundtrack. Would really love to hear what you have to say about that one!
Destiny's soundtrack was always one of my favourinte, and to this day, music never stops to amaze, be in old or new Thank you for reminding me, and many more in this community if this As Guardians, we cant wait to kill a god, and turn another into a weapon xD I am very exited to see what awaits us in the future of Destiny 2
To this very day, Regicide remains my favourite destiny song. Walking in to oryx’s throne room in the campaign and hearing this track play gave me goosebumps. It really felt like the culmination of the entire year leading up to it, and the payoff was unforgettable. Thanks for reacting and breaking it down!!
The Witness may be the mastermind behind it all, Rhulk may be the first Disciple, and Savathun may be the Queen of Lies… But Oryx shall always be KING!
Seeing Oryx surrounded in darkness while entering the boss room was so spine chilling to me when I first played. And then he picks up his sword and I felt fear. And then I was wondering what Grasp of the King did lol
Riven of a thousand voices is the actual OST, but Keep of Voices (Action) and Keep of Voices (High Action) are the choir versions. I think it could be interesting analyzing both versions because of the relationship of the Awoken with Riven and the taken
yo the flashbacks from years ago playing this game. So good... wish i could re experience the game again... This expansion completely changed the game as they reworked alot of systems (for the better) so the game is at its peak at this expansion. Like cutscenes and music and story were extremely improved.
Seeing Oryx in a raid setting for the first time is still one of my favourite memories. Thanks for giving me way more insight into a song I already absolutely loved.
Regicide is my favorite boss theme ever. So much story to it. PLus on Vinyl it sounds amazing alongside the Awoken soft vocal tracks. Such a good soundtrack overall. Definitely worth doing the Kings Fall Raid if you haven't. The updated graphics and lighting really elevates that raid.
Oryx in the Taken King final campaign mission still has one of the coolest intros of the whole franchise with the light moving up to the door and then the shadow slowly revealing him
Still the best song in Destiny history alongside the best expansion and final mission in Destiny History. Hell, TTK is the best Destiny has ever been or will ever be and I miss those times.. I wish we could go back.
Oh my god I love this track! Regicide is a masterpiece, I downloaded it from the official soundtrack and still listen to it! Does an excellent job of conveying a sense of dread!
Regicide has always been my #1 pick for showing to other people when talking about Destiny’s music. Such a strong opening, and it just holds that throughout the entire runtime. Great analysis Marco!
I would love watching you listen to Eyes Up or most well known as Aksis's theme from the Wrath of the machine raid in Destiny 1 :) keep up the good work!
I have discovered your channel for quite a while now and it never ceases to amaze me how diverse your content is in terms of the video game soundtracks you listen to - from Genshin to Arknights, to Monster Hunter, Terraria, Stellaris - and your ability to accurately interpret the themes and emotions in each piece is incredible (professional indeed!). Can't wait to see what your channel offers in the future! It is also my humble recommendation for you to have a listen to Monster Hunter Rise's Crimson Glow Valstrax Theme (among my personal all time favorites with the Fatalis Theme), your MH soundtrack analysis videos are very good! I am assuming you have lots on your schedule and it does seem that MH related content is off your channel's radar now, but that's okay! A suggestion is a suggestion after all :) All the best for you and your channel!
Regicide campaign mission is still one of my favorites to this day. It just contains everything you wouldn't expect to see! Theme really hits hard during the fight.
"YOU ARE THE LAST HOPE OF THE LIGHT? YOU ARE NOT WORTHY TO FACE ME!" *Cue the Taken Ogre and Cabal Champions emerging from the portal, ready to wreck your frail gaurdian* [This is a real situation which we faced in D1 - I really do miss feeling.. For lsck of better words - "small" in Destiny. Im hoping that "Frontiers" once again gives us that feeling of being so small in a vast, desolate universe. I also hope that the Heresy Episode continues onto the Dreadnought's oppressive feeling, such massive rooms and dark, decrepit tunnels we burrow through to find another foe.]
We just got a new raid that came out today and I highly reccomend you listed to the boss music. It's called Oneirophobia and it's a great representation of the state of the story of Destiny as well of a caricature of Nezerec as a character.
I've always stuck with Destiny for the music. Michael Salvatori and Marty O'Donnell make music fit for a modern war, and without them in the studio for Bungie, I have a feeling that most of the soul was lost with it. No passion in their songs anymore, just setting the scene.
What sells the theme is Oryx shouting as the horns blare, Light warping around his body as he shouts. "AT LAST! I. WILL. HAVE. VENEGANCE!" "I will finish what Crota began..."
If you ever come back to Destiny music there's four songs I want you to listen to: Last Stand, a remix of Regicide used for the King's Fall raid, Cabal Stomp, a battle theme for the Cabal, Remembrance and Journey. They're all Destiny songs, but they vary *wildly* in the feeling from listening to them. Last Stand, well, feels like a last stand against Oryx. Cabal Stomp makes you fearful of the Cabal and their might, especially in the lore since they blow up planets just for getting in their way. Remembrance is a very nostalgic song that makes you think back to the good ol' days of Destiny. Journey is a sad and melancholic song after you've lost basically everything. You lost the Tower, the Traveller, all your items, everything, and this song represents that feeling.
Not sure if anything can top Journey, but guess we won't find out unless we keep trying hehe. Anyways, I'm also going to recommend the soundtrack for Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, developed by ACE Team with the soundtrack composed by Patricio Meneses. They recently uploaded the entire soundtrack to their official RU-vid channel, with "The boy calls" and "Pseudo's theme" being some initial standout tracks. It seems to be drawing inspiration from spaghetti westerns, martial arts movies and who knows what else. Clash as a game is pretty intriguing, being set in the same punk-fantasy setting as two of ACE Team's previous games, Zeno Clash 1 and 2. Filled with plenty of strange inhabitants who seem mainly preoccupied with beating the crap out of each other.
You should honestly check out the Red War stuff when destiny 2 first released. Dominus Ghaul's theme is one of my personal favorites alongside Regicide.
You can totally see the darkness gathering to show Oryx, absolutely mad about us killing his son who was planning Humanity's genocide... Like man come on, i get your race feeds on slaughter but get over yourself xD
“Proclaiming a death march” How ironic this is said as Oryx and the Hive hold power over death itself and weave death like a tapestry, or a song made into physical being. Keep in mind that this fight is personal: Oryx is not defending his throne from usurpers, he’s trying to messily murder you for slaying his son Crota. The song begins with a grand, flowing and royal opening that proclaims Oryx’s place as the Taken King seated upon the Osmium Throne, and it descends into a bloodthirsty, grief-driven madness as he tries to murder you.
Haven’t played Destiny in…oof, three, maybe four years? Not since Season of the Drifter, so it’s been a bit. Even so, Regicide is still one of my favorite pieces of video game music of all time. Iconic bit of music, if you ask me.
Please make a video on *Storm of Flower Petals Between Life and Death* , the theme of the Stage 6 boss in *Touhou Makuka Sai: Fantastic Danmaku Festival Part II* .
It perfectly encapsulates the fight. The dread of fighting this thing. The god king. Nearly synonymous with death itself as a concept. In single combat for the fate of the entire universe. His genocide is measured in thousands of worlds. And this fight is personal. No holding back
I enjoyed last stand, simular songs since the motif is the same,a little more personally, but regicide is a fantastic song as well. Bungie does do 1 thing great, and that is the OST
At last, i will have vengeance, to this day is my favorite voice line from both destiny's, this song by itself is my favorite of all time. Oryx is the scariest ever man.
Well this music is definetly how we picture him in battle big bad guy and have many arsenal that he can throw at us and like we decent to the dark side
the amount of hype that was surrounded around that Taken King opening. the first day were the best chills i've ever gotten from a game. i love destiny man
