Literally the "Show me your might, not your bombastic giant eikon powers but the might of the little human that your are" boss fight. I absolutely loved it. Definitely my favorite boss battle of the game. Dion might be the strongest Eikon but Barnabas is the strongest Dominant
I feel like barnabas surpassed his own eikon in his bloodlusted state. He had absolute mastery of odins abilities and he was insanely skilled overall. In his bloodlusted state all that was just amplified which is crazy
At first i was disappointed that it wasnt a huge spectacle eikon fight like titan and bahamut, but looking back at it i realized this fight is a lot more personal and badass.
it would of been so easy to do another bombastic epic fight ... I do sorta wish we got a few more cutscene battle moments with the Eikons but the sword battle on top of a tower was epic enough for me and this is such a different battle compared to the others making Barnabas stick out
One thing i like about the fight was the fact that when fighting him he never once lost control over his eikon. All the eikon fights before hand all had them go berserk and put down. Odin is the big exception as he was always in full control of himself, it's a detail i have notice in the fight compared to all the other ones before him.
you can see it on his Blue Eyes , Blue Eyes Indicate Eikon Controll , while the Yellow Eyes Indicate Low to no Controll . You can see it in Ifrit ASwell ( where he killed joshua and Garuda ) he had Yellow Eyes , but his Eyes Became Blue Over Time .
The moment he appeared above the small cliff overlooking gav and Clive I actually thought they were so fucked lmao, I love the cutscene direction in 16 so damn much, and this theme is instantly recognizable, up there with those chosen by the planet imo
When the eikon battle ended so abruptly, I knew I was in for the best fight in the game. No eikons, no cutscene gimmicks, no party members, not even torgal, Just one warrior against another, your own mastery of the game's combat against a foe that pulls no punches but employs no cheap tricks, testing you on just about every situation a single foe can put you into. A final exam before you head off to fight Ultima. Glorious.
"And the best part is, there’s no bullshit in this fight. No minions, no shields, no monsoon telling me about f@&$ing among us. There’s just you, the sunset and the soil." -Maxor
Idk if its just me but I think Barnabas was a total nihilist until this fight. He wanted to restart the world cause he lacked a strong oponent or purpose. When you fight him he laughs histerically and I think he starts getting his will to live again. He was just bored af
Yup that's the whole point. Barnabas totally discarded Ultima's intention (which wasn't to kill Clive) and went his way to do the most he could against Clive, making his own will the priority while he shouldn't according to Ultima. Beautiful moment, that's why there's that moment at 06:04
I love how triumphant and darkly joyful the fight arrangement is. 4:30 especially, you can almost picture it playing for Barnabas’s siege of Stonhyrr, when Odin led his armies to overthrow Veldermarke. It’s depicted in item descriptions as a grotesque bloodbath-but that was the happiest moment of Barnabas’s life.
love the start of this theme. Sounds so ancient, as Barnabas is. Has that Northerly/Cold/Viking feel to it as well with those drums. And those distant male echoing vocals are perfect, absolutely elevate this theme to greatness
I think the lore mentions Barnabas is in his 40s. And the other person who I can't remember his name is 70. The longer haired thinner one carries off Kupka after his hands are severed.
I actually like the fact that Odin is never directly fought by Ifrit/the player (outside of the one attack used in the final phase). This entire fight is more against Barnabas himself and Clive finally getting to knock down the slimy bastard after being whupped by him in their first encounter. It's a duel between them, man-to-man. And by the time the final phase occurs, it's clear that Barnabas has mastered Odin's powers so much that the two of them are basically the same being, with him basically using the Eikon as partial armor and a weapon.
i was caught up in my disappointment of no real eikon fight like the others that i failed to appreciate the fight for what it is during my playthrough. Looking back im really glad it is the way it is.
I think this was my favorite boss in the whole game, and also one of the best boss fights i've done in recent times. I love how instead of it being an intense showdown between Eikons, like Bahamut was, the Eikons themselves barely have a presence here, most of the fight is JUST Barnabas, showcasing his swordmanship, as he gets progressively stronger and more deranged, his battle frenzy powers him up and makes his attack pattern all the more unhinged. It's a straight duel between him and Clive, a battle where technique and finesse decide the winner, a one on one showdown. Barnabas may not have shown up in the game that often, but the few times he did, he made his presence known, and reminded everyone why Odin was such a feared foe in the first place. Incredible boss fight and incredible character, my favorite Eikon to use in combat, Zantetsuken is extremely broken as a skill and he's really fun for crowd control. Great game.

When you meet with Barnabas in Kanver a variant of this theme is played on electric guitar as he slashes the blade. Was disappointed we didn’t have a phase of this fight where we got an entire song like that, I was kind of expecting it given how much of a departure Titan’s theme was.
The beginning part of this with the music that plays when Barnabas encounters the group as well is just so amazing. You can hear the power, the fear, and the pain - most likely a reflection of his past that caused him to become what he is today. It’s just so much thought out into all of these tracks. This game deserves to win at least an award for its music - it’s awe-inspiring honestly
In myth Odin has over 170 DIFFERENT NAMES AND TITLES. However the Woden Worte Woes means: Woden made idols(Woden/Wodan/Wotan/Odin) Symbolizing his transformation into a giant “idol” of himself.
Those vocals in the first section are so damn ominous. Perfectly fit every scene with Barnabas before the final showdown. Wish they could’ve gave him a bit more development or he been the big bad
This music is amazing. I love how oppressive and overpowering Odin feels. And after beating the game, I think Barnabas was the best fight, especially phase 2.
Me too. I actually prefer personal battles instead of the kaiju stuff. Even though it's kinda cliche I loved that he became euphoric with the prospect of a worthy rival. The voice acting absolutely nailed it.
respectfully, I disagree. the game has been developing ultima as the final villain since the beginning. If it wasn't for that, then i would agree. I would love to have a human type of final villain more than a demiurge type of villain TBH.
It also comes with him being generations older than the rest of the Dominants, hence why he is an extremely difficult and challenging opponent. Though I agree a little that he would have been a huge help in the final battle, I still prefer him as a villain. He's so cool.
Barnabus: *summons the biggest fucking zantetsuken ever* "I AM DEATH!! I AM DARKNESS!! I AM ODIN!! YOU WILL KNEEL BEFORE ULTIMA, MY GOD, AND YOU WILL SERVE THE GREATER GOOD!!" Ifrit:"HAHAHAHAHA- no." *Blocks zantetsuken, steals the sword and zantetsukens odin* Odin:*Now inexplicably having flashbacks to final fantasy viii and how the fight with siefer went* "FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!" *Transforms back into barnabus* "FUCK GOD, FUCK ZANTETSUKEN REVERSALS, AND FUCK YOU!!! YOU THINK YOU'RE FUCKING FUNNY CLIVE?! YOU THINK YOU'RE SOME SORT OF COMEDIAN?!" Clive: "Little bit, yeah." Barnabus:"THAT'S IT, YOU DIE!!" *PROCEEDS TO DELIVER ONE OF THE MIGHTIEST ASS-WHOOPINGS THIS SIDE OF VALISTHEA, STILL LOSES* Clive: *Now standing over a dying barnabus* "Was it worth it?" Barnabus: *coughs up a pint of blood* "Little bit...yeah..." *grabs clive's leg and forcefully transfers odin* "You're still a bitch." *dies.*
I like the tone of the music is so omnious in the beginning, but in the final phase, after he found his long lost passion and motivation through his fight with Clive, the music become so lively, like army marching to battle.
People complaining about not having an Eikon fight with Odin, but for some reason people dont complain about not having a semi prime fight with Dion before Bahamut
at first i didn't like Odin fight but when i think back this is awesome fight. yeah it's not spectacular like Titan or Bahamut but to defeat him just using Clive is better revenge after what he did at Kanver. one thing i wish for is there is last QTE where Odin did the same attack he did at Kanver and under the sea and Clive somehow manage to repel it or precision dodge it and slash Barnabas down to end the fight.
I actually played through this without changing my armor and weapon (barely did damage lol) man did this fight become my favorite it’s just an epic fight 1V1
100%. I actually think it’s the best fight period simply because it’s the only fight where you actually better know how to play the game or you’ll die. Most of the eikon fights were cinematically amazing but never felt like you would die if you get what I mean.
Barnabas totally discarded Ultima's intention (which wasn't to kill Clive) and went his way to do the most he could against Clive, making his own will the priority while he shouldn't according to Ultima. Beautiful moment, that's why there's that moment at 06:04
The way I interpreted it was that he was merely testing the vessel to its limit -further unlocking its potential. Canonically the boss fight wasn't Barnie trying to kill Clive but making it "presentable" (ready) for Ultima. His defeat by the hands of Mythos was ordained. As his god willed it.
@@JustJDx That's the thing, at that point where he goes crazy he isn't trying to make it presentable but kill him. For once his will shines through and that's why Clive comments on it.
@@thedevilsadvocate4854 Oh I don't doubt the hypocricy or ignorance of Barnie succumbing and using his own will to fight Clive. I just think he was doing exactly what Ultima wanted and (somewhat) predicted him to do; draw out the potential out of Mythos one way or the other. I believe Barnie was never truly able to kill Clive. I reckon Ultima knew this and would never allow that to happen.
"There hasnt been record of any other odin in valestheas history beside Barnabas Tharmr". Makes you think if his situation is similar to clives in which he is the first eikon of their specific line. Kinda makes sense, considering how much control he had of odin.
Most likely, especially since he turned into an Akashic to serve Ultima and thus stopped aging. He was the first Dominant of Odin and since he never died he kept the title.
Is it me… or does his Odin form resemble garland? Particularly once you shatter his gathering darkness bar and he goes all out he resembled Garland of FFI with them helmet horns
Pure gameplay wise this is my favorite fight. I love his combos and him switching between semi prime and prime. There is not a whole lot of specticule and I feel like they could've went a little harder especially since bahamuts fight was literally before this. Theme is fire tho and odin is my favorite eikon(I like really sword emphasized styles)
This fight is incredible and would be the best boss fight of any other game but it really doesn't measure up to the previous 2 Dominant fights before it.
Love this. It truly is a battle of ‘Follow your god culture tradition. For you have no better ideas or morals’ With ‘Follow your ideals goals and spirit. You see the corruption in your culture’
Odin themed move set for DRK’s! (From what I remember SAM’s and DRK’s can actually craft a copy of Zantetsuken from one of the later alliance raids.. Eureka iirc)
Im not gonna lie, i feel like Barnabas should have been bahamut and the bahamut fight should have been towards the end. It felt more like a final dominant fight then odin honestly.
While the battle with Odin / Barnabas is less cinematic and bombastic than the previous Eikons, it actually has some lore explanation. Out of all the Eikons, Barnabas was the only one following Ultima's will, meaning he's NOT out to kill Clive, his master won't allow it. He even said he's going to make Clive presentable to his master. The other Eikons couldn't care less about Clive, but the only time Barnabas was really serious was during his final phase because by that point, he finally found a worthy opponent. Even then, his goal was just to have fun as much as he can before he gets defeated and willingly gives his powers to Clive. Which means, he was holding back on us the whole time.
is it just me or does it sound similar to the asphodelos gate theme in ffxiv? it sounds very similar but i cant tell if im confusing it with a different ff14 theme
It’s unfortunate to know that barnabas held back a lot. He did prime when he turned into Odin, but he didn’t want to kill Clive because it would go against his Master’s wish. Barnabas could be as strong as Ultima.

Armor and Helmet. his armor is not regular, it’s clearly part of Odin.
I got some Darth Vader vibes.
"The Eikon is with you, young Clive, but you are not a Dominant yet." 😁

Let's be honest Odin/Barnabas is incredibly epic.
They really hint throughout the game that the man is a legend, who single handily conquered Ash.

Agree, Barnabas was the best vilain of the game

"There hasnt been record of any other odin in valestheas history beside Barnabas Tharmr". Makes you think if his situation is similar to clives in which he is the first eikon of their specific line. Kinda makes sense, considering how much control he had of odin.
Most likely, especially since he turned into an Akashic to serve Ultima and thus stopped aging.
He was the first Dominant of Odin and since he never died he kept the title.
Barnabas GIGACHAD
luv this theme🔥🔥🔥
Sick boss. Favourite boss fight.(all fights with Barnabas) Then it was seipnir my second favourite.
As much as I wanted more of an Eikon fight, having more hand-to-hand combat was much more fitting.
Is it me… or does his Odin form resemble garland? Particularly once you shatter his gathering darkness bar and he goes all out he resembled Garland of FFI with them helmet horns
Same with how one of ultima’s forms resembles Edea
incedently just before you fight him the FF1 overworld map plays ;) 100% a call back to garland
Pure gameplay wise this is my favorite fight. I love his combos and him switching between semi prime and prime. There is not a whole lot of specticule and I feel like they could've went a little harder especially since bahamuts fight was literally before this. Theme is fire tho and odin is my favorite eikon(I like really sword emphasized styles)
Me encanta que al final solo pelees contra barnabas, su orgullo de guerrero le impidió terminar la batalla en modo Odín, dandole la razon a Clive
man i wish he had just 1 more phase, would be up there with titan and bahamut
I think they spent half the budget on the Bahamut fight, so they didn't have as much left for this one.
This fight is incredible and would be the best boss fight of any other game but it really doesn't measure up to the previous 2 Dominant fights before it.
@@Leonhart_93they also didn't had budget left for Leviathan, poor levy doesn't even show up.
No I like that it's mostly pure duel.
@@Falcodragoa part of me wants to believe dlc is in order for them, or Clive takes up that mantle but that makes little to no sense
I've been waiting for this!
Gav: Oh…. Fuck!
4:11 this reminds me of Star Wars, but diferent
This is a good theme but it feels like it gets cut short like it might’ve benefited from another phase
Odin is fought 4 times (Sleipnir twice and Barnabas twice). I didn't need a second phase.
The theme reminded me of ride of the valkyries
The beginning gives me straight pandemonium vibes
same
3:58, 4:26
Love this. It truly is a battle of
‘Follow your god culture tradition. For you have no better ideas or morals’
With
‘Follow your ideals goals and spirit. You see the corruption in your culture’
Is similar to "Searching Light" from FF5
Well seen
Where is the full digital soundtrack ? I need this on Apple music 🎶
We’re still waiting unfortunately. There is, however, To Sail Forbidden Seas and Find the Flame, both are incredible
0:03 mmm, he has pecs.
❤❤
Anyone knows the OST that played very first 16 Trailer
Ff16 ost "Cascade"
I need clive and barnbas movesets as classes in 14 XD
Odin themed move set for DRK’s! (From what I remember SAM’s and DRK’s can actually craft a copy of Zantetsuken from one of the later alliance raids.. Eureka iirc)
@@dragonfable66shin zantetsuken. Normal zantetsuken you get from Odin's Fate
Im not gonna lie, i feel like Barnabas should have been bahamut and the bahamut fight should have been towards the end. It felt more like a final dominant fight then odin honestly.
I thought this fight was better no fancy explosions nothing just a 1V1
While the battle with Odin / Barnabas is less cinematic and bombastic than the previous Eikons, it actually has some lore explanation. Out of all the Eikons, Barnabas was the only one following Ultima's will, meaning he's NOT out to kill Clive, his master won't allow it. He even said he's going to make Clive presentable to his master. The other Eikons couldn't care less about Clive, but the only time Barnabas was really serious was during his final phase because by that point, he finally found a worthy opponent. Even then, his goal was just to have fun as much as he can before he gets defeated and willingly gives his powers to Clive. Which means, he was holding back on us the whole time.
is it just me or does it sound similar to the asphodelos gate theme in ffxiv? it sounds very similar but i cant tell if im confusing it with a different ff14 theme
This reminds me of FF IX
Shame that there wasnt a xiv's odin ost cameo
It’s unfortunate to know that barnabas held back a lot. He did prime when he turned into Odin, but he didn’t want to kill Clive because it would go against his Master’s wish. Barnabas could be as strong as Ultima.
Anyone got the official name for the first part. Its been a bitch to find lol
Shiver me timbers
4:26
how do u have 4 bars of lb???
Max upgrade
Blizzard dev team theme
Phase 1 official title: Sever
Phase 2 official title: The Riddle
Where did you get that information?
Best design and a wasted character, wish we could've seen parts where he wasn't controlled by Ultima to see if he was really good
Most probably a DLC for him.
