I love that this makes you appreciate your Warframe, because once you fight the final archon and you have your frame back, you utterly *destroy* it, without even giving it a chance to defend itself.
@@aldeonuwu2634 D2 has High Hyperversal scaling. Also, yes. And about Rhino's stomp, that's more of a weight thing with him fucking up gravity and distorting time as a consequence, isn't it? Cause iirc Rhino is canonically the heaviest thing in the Warframe Universe.
Honestly it’s both For Narmer is like the introduction to the fact that we lost the war and we were defeated and this song is like the game basically stating that We Lost and We were Beaten
The sheer pants shitting fear I felt when I realized what Nira was and the chase that ensued after man... Boreal, Amar, and Nira were the most epic and terrifying addition to this game and I honestly hope we fight more Archons in the future.
First time I heard the archon theme in the first drifter mission, literally gave me chills. I don't think I've ever heard anything so alien and unsettling in a videogame soundtrack ever.
ok but having what I think is a mix of the 3 Sentient themes (Hunhow, Sentient Tombs, Rapid Adaptation) as a background melody is actually really genius when you consider what the Narmer and Archons actually are.
Honestly, the scariest thing about the Archons for me wasn't their almighty powers, or their status as gods, nor their haunting appearances. What scared me the most was who they once were...and what they are now. The Tenno's strongest and most important weapon...now turned against them.
Except that power was only the shadow of the shadow of tenno power,i remember the moment i got my warframe back i stomped last archon in like 5 seconds.
The amount of brand new assets in this quest was simply staggering. A ton of new adaptive music, cutscenes, entirely unique enemies and boss fights, heck, the fucking tower of unum, and the unum herself, this quest is going to be incredibly hard to beat.
The utter terror of encountering the Archon as the Drifter and running away, then having a focus shot on Nira as this track played made it my favorite mix from the New War.
Yes, been waiting for this one! It sounded amazing during the fights, and I also like some old Warframe leitmotifs being incorporated in this one, changed and corrupted.
I genuinely love that the drums/beat from around 0:29 - 0:44 sound like a pounding heart. Really captures that feeling of shock when the first archon appears and chases you in the beginning
I forget in what stream it was but they said we would be seeing more Archons in the future and it won't be a one off fight for just New War Replayability. I really hope they end up becoming a new Lich/Sister Type. Edit: Oh my God I was right. There's a first time for everything. Was hoping for a new type of of Lich/Sister but the Archons are coming back. Glass half-full.
Warframe is inspired by dune in many aspects, from the pschodelic substance with pseudo magical properties (the spice and kuva), tecnology having a biological basis instead of mechanical as a result of sentient machines revealing against their makers, the IAs are based on a living brain, the general artstyle of Sci-fy but instead of militaristic and square looking it looks more organic and slick
The Narmer Returns, The body of a certain sentient is fused with a ram head. The Wolf hunts his prey The Serpent poisons the mind of a prey The Owl stalks the prey and finally The Ram, Reborn and willing to take revenge against those who opposed the narmer.
Archons gave me DOOM Hunter vibes. Mechanical undead monster specifically meant to take down the Tenno, with a badass theme and an epic brutal fight with Drifter
definitely, atleast until Doomguy(or the Tenno, in this case) gets all his Gear(Warframe) back and then demolishes it like they do everything there really are alot of DOOM and Warframe Parallels not that I think about it huh..?
It reminds me a lot of the "Invader" theme going all over Crysis 2's ost (especially the Epilogue), I really REALLY loved it at the time and it stuck with me a while, I'm really happy to hear something really similar here going on.
Sarah Schachner on assassin's creed origins vibes when the vocals come in. makes sense since the archons were inspired by ancient egypt. it's incredible!
Think I'm gonna use this audio for an upcoming d&d campaign (running Curse of Strahd for some friends) and after tweaking the module with the "Fleshing Out" guide series, I think this might be the perfect music for a potential encounter that waits in the Death House. The vocals are just so haunting I think it'll work perfectly.
The part with the female vocals reminds me so heavily of Crysis 2 Main theme... I feel like a deeper research into Hans Zimmer was performed to come up with this amazing score! Sounds great regardless!
If I'm being honest, Veilbraker remind me about XCOM 2 WotC, and archon theme just like themes of the chosen's - make you feel uncomfortable and puts you on the edge. Epic
I'm close to going into New War. Having seen a friend play it when the expansion first came out, I'm SCARED as I'm NOWHERE near as kitted out as she was with her badass primes. My best Warframe is freakin' Voruna. These guys are proper scary. I expect it to be a struggle, but one I will enjoy.
**SPOILER WARNING** I think we got the shortest this quest could have actually been with the 5 or so hours. I'd say to serve the story justice it might have taken closer to twelve, but nobody's got that kid of time. However, the parts they chose to put in were perfect, and I could'nt have hoped for a better design. It ties so many things together while also paving the way for the more recent unsolved conflicts and mysteries. They were wise in ending the Sentient/Ballas storyline before even bringing the Tenno background/future into play, cause then it wouldn't be 100% the war, and there would likely be time in between the events anyway in the Origin system. I can't wait to see what happens from here! Who *is* carrying on the legacy of Narmer? who *is* the man in the wall? What is the story of the Tenno? For we've only gotten bits and peices of some of that information. (I am confident Narmer is being headed by someone, or another group, because in the Cetus Narmer missions, Konzu states that someone likely has taken that role). Imma stop now, heh. Except to say that I love how the Man in the Wall literally told the story of the New War at the end of the quest by speaking the Requiem sequence.
U know... I got a story on this. Long ago I was playin with some folks and when we had to kill Nira, I used my trusty Felarx to farm her crystals... It worked the first time, but due to a bug the second time (after killing her minions) a door left me behind so I was unable to join my team. Nira massacred them, as nobody of my team carried a good n proper shotgun. Man... 3 frames couldn't get her, and I was raging behind a door unable to oneshot her. It felt like crap, but well... This is it, had to restart and go solo next time.
I got it the knight is Ballas with the paracysis (I don't remember how it's spelled) nira as the assassin Amar as the jailer and boreal as the carnifex and this is the chase theme
I love that this makes you appreciate your Warframe, because once you fight the final archon and you have your frame back, you utterly *destroy* it, without even giving it a chance to defend itself.
Yah literally it was a curb stomp
Out of your warframe it’s my greatest fear
And there u understand how fking broken op they are for real
@@aldeonuwu2634 In their own verse, yeah. A Destiny 2 Mook could breathe and blow up the solar system or something from what I've heard.
@grubb2103 there is anything that can stomp on the ground so fking strong that bend the time and stop it?
@@aldeonuwu2634 D2 has High Hyperversal scaling. Also, yes. And about Rhino's stomp, that's more of a weight thing with him fucking up gravity and distorting time as a consequence, isn't it? Cause iirc Rhino is canonically the heaviest thing in the Warframe Universe.
As ??? once said:
I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU! AN ARCHON!!!
Good job smart-ass now get me out of here
- Drifter
Call the ship smartass!!
People say that it was 'For Narmer' what gave them the feeling of utter defeat.
For me it was this track.
Honestly it’s both
For Narmer is like the introduction to the fact that we lost the war and we were defeated and this song is like the game basically stating that We Lost and We were Beaten
For Narmer: "we lost"
Hybrid Abominations: "you are alone *and they're coming for you*."
I really enjoyed these boss fights. It was fun to not be an immortal genocide machine for once
It feels amazing to be in a position where you have to claim your victory from the dirt and uprising I loved it so much
Think the track is tuned to capitalize on that precious sudden realization when you know then and there, you ain't the top of the food chain
And it feels really good when you get your warframe back and realize just how powerful you were
😂I related to that so much back then when I did the new war uh damn times goes fast
Well... I still am... With a good shotgun of course 😎 (Felarx, Hek, u name it)
Orokin vocals and Sentient synth Archons are the perfect fusion in every way,
Yah and it makes total sense in the story to holy shit this song amazing
The sheer pants shitting fear I felt when I realized what Nira was and the chase that ensued after man...
Boreal, Amar, and Nira were the most epic and terrifying addition to this game and I honestly hope we fight more Archons in the future.
Perhaps like an event the Acolytes were previously. That would be cool, when they just invade your mission.
Calling it now! Next lich type!
Maybe as Sentient Liches? You would lose your progenitor warframe to become an Archon and to get it back you'd have to kill the Archon
It used to be you mowing grunts down by the hundreds with your overpowered Warframe. Now YOU'RE the grunt, and THEY'RE the Warframe!
@Principal Scudworth I'm still baffled Boreal had Electric abilities and not Ice given his name...
First time I heard the archon theme in the first drifter mission, literally gave me chills. I don't think I've ever heard anything so alien and unsettling in a videogame soundtrack ever.
black mesa, half life alyx
Salvation, Destiny 2
Doesn't help that you are getting chased by a prime warframe with a serpant head
terraria calamity mod has crazy soundtrack probably the craziest in all of gaming imo
ok but having what I think is a mix of the 3 Sentient themes (Hunhow, Sentient Tombs, Rapid Adaptation) as a background melody is actually really genius when you consider what the Narmer and Archons actually are.
The subtle bell(?)-ish sound at 0:35 is such a good motif to make it clear this is still a Sentient theme.
Honestly, the scariest thing about the Archons for me wasn't their almighty powers, or their status as gods, nor their haunting appearances.
What scared me the most was who they once were...and what they are now.
The Tenno's strongest and most important weapon...now turned against them.

@@hype3224 Yeah that's true, I suppose.
I guess I can't complain. A few hours of being terrified for my life was certainly better than one.
@@hype3224 that's why veilbreaker is here xD
@@okuro729 guess now they got their prep time and are wearing the plot armor that they should have had from start
my favourite part of Archon Boreal's boss fight was losing my ability to see
Hell yes. Now this is Boss music. The soundtrack killed it yet again.
Fr
Glad they brought it back for Veilbreaker
The vocals in this are epic and haunting at the same time, just SUPERB sound design
So this is where your Verdilac showcase video 's bgm came from.
@@aravinds3846 yup lol
I didn’t expect to see you here
Oh hey, it's the warframe porn master.
I bet its not even vocals but theremine or some shit
This music brings back that "OH SHIT!!" vibe when I first saw the Archon drop in outta nowhere.
Jesus Warframe goes so freaking hard with their music
The amount of brand new assets in this quest was simply staggering. A ton of new adaptive music, cutscenes, entirely unique enemies and boss fights, heck, the fucking tower of unum, and the unum herself, this quest is going to be incredibly hard to beat.
The utter terror of encountering the Archon as the Drifter and running away, then having a focus shot on Nira as this track played made it my favorite mix from the New War.
1:45 the escalating humming noise is the BEST part of this music
The recurring siren part really reminds me of Crysis 2 Insertion soundtrack
Im not the only one who thought that?
Same!
I was wondering why that part always stood out to me. It's my favorite part for both songs.
THANK YOU
I was wondering what it sounded like
Yes, been waiting for this one! It sounded amazing during the fights, and I also like some old Warframe leitmotifs being incorporated in this one, changed and corrupted.
Every sentient ost's percussion is just... ah *cheff kiss*
1:45 always reminds me of Crysis 2's theme and I absolutely love it!
i was thinking the same
lmao
Man I need to go back and play that
Crysis 2 menu music had me just sit idle for like five minutes
I can see it now
3:02 i love when the instruments sound repeating on the background that always was there on Sentients ost
l love the vocal part alot! its like evil chanting
I genuinely love that the drums/beat from around 0:29 - 0:44 sound like a pounding heart. Really captures that feeling of shock when the first archon appears and chases you in the beginning
I forget in what stream it was but they said we would be seeing more Archons in the future and it won't be a one off fight for just New War Replayability. I really hope they end up becoming a new Lich/Sister Type.

That would probably be "The Veil Breaker" update which is next
@@Awesome-Aaron06 Was the trailer not a dead give away? Lol
@@hjk8692 nah I'm a bit brain dead lmao
@@Awesome-Aaron06 Same.
Your wish was granted, new sorties with Archons
Can't believe it's been more than a year tho, I really liek coming back and listening to this!
Ah yes I was waiting for this, some parts have Tenet vibes. 1:45 & 2:26 are my fav parts.
Exactly what I was thinking. It's soo good
4:18 - 4:45 with those synth sounded very similar to some tenet ost
This music gives off alot of DUNE vibes , the soundtrack made the quest wholesome. Its just that good.
Warframe is inspired by dune in many aspects, from the pschodelic substance with pseudo magical properties (the spice and kuva), tecnology having a biological basis instead of mechanical as a result of sentient machines revealing against their makers, the IAs are based on a living brain, the general artstyle of Sci-fy but instead of militaristic and square looking it looks more organic and slick
@@themaster0496 Warframe was way before Dune...
@@janojani9090 nope, the original book came out in 1965, then had his first movie adaptation in 1984
@@janojani9090 as much as I hate to admit the first one exists, Warframe didn't even come before the first film adaptation of DUNE.
Yes, the Dune, I thought the same
This soundtrack is so twisted and corrupted in a good way
This was my favorite ost in the new war, it made me feel like a badass when fighing those annoying archons
Me too
Reminds me of half life
@@whitedragon1204 Faacts
I love how they randomly transitioned from right ear to left ear with the drums. Easiest heard with headphones, but amazing
this soundtrack alone brings everything in the new war together
This the only song so far to make my hair stand up and give me literally goosebumps
Me too!
God the entire soundtrack in this game was so good
Despite having it on repeat for weeks on end, still brings a tear to my eye every once in a while when remembering to give it a listen.
2:26 That beat I was looking for. That sounds a bit like being in a mission fighting a boss.
you are fighting a boss when this plays
I honestly wish they added the Archons heads as maybe helmets we could wear by paying platinum.
The archons look so dope. Such a unique looking enemy.
Archen drifter cosmetics?
Yes please! After my first encounter with Archon Nira i loved their design instantly
I'd farm pretty hard for Mag Prime parts if I could turn her into Archon Nira lmao
The Narmer Returns, The body of a certain sentient is fused with a ram head.
The Wolf hunts his prey
The Serpent poisons the mind of a prey
The Owl stalks the prey
and finally
The Ram, Reborn and willing to take revenge against those who opposed the narmer.
Pazuul/Archon Pazuul had a union with Erra's body.
This music is just Fantastic for battle. The sound of a major threat lurking and you can hear hints of other OST like Sentient Tombs and Corrupted
Archons gave me DOOM Hunter vibes. Mechanical undead monster specifically meant to take down the Tenno, with a badass theme and an epic brutal fight with Drifter
definitely, atleast until Doomguy(or the Tenno, in this case) gets all his Gear(Warframe) back and then demolishes it like they do everything
there really are alot of DOOM and Warframe Parallels not that I think about it huh..?
Such a unique track, Did not expect this when I first downloaded Warframe
8:00 the part with all instruments and vocals
This is fire.
Been waiting for this ever since.
The fights against these things were quite like nothing else in the game.
The drums hit so fucking hard I love it
You are my friggin hero! Speed nova plus the verdilac to this track is pure carnage!
mag prime plus verdilac
Man i wish this was on spotify :(
Man this gives chills listening even now, when this first played ngl gives you that trembling feeling seeing what you see lol, soo messed up ngl
2:26 baller af
It reminds me a lot of the "Invader" theme going all over Crysis 2's ost (especially the Epilogue), I really REALLY loved it at the time and it stuck with me a while, I'm really happy to hear something really similar here going on.

1:45 sounds like Urdak from Doom Eternal because of the choir and the corrupted beat
Exactly what i was thinking as well
Difter-is down
Hunhow-Shadow, don't let them fail
Stalker-Yes Master hunhow
Ah, there it is, thank you
AT LAST. you are my saviour ive wanted this song since I played nw
The part with the female vocals reminds me so heavily of Crysis 2 Main theme... I feel like a deeper research into Hans Zimmer was performed to come up with this amazing score! Sounds great regardless!
Persian vocals combined with synth is just pure gold
_"Archon! Bring a bow!"_
drifter??
Dread.
Wait no, Nataruk.
the screeching vocals remind me a lot of Dune. Alien, powerful, terrifying.
I just found this song holy shit it hits different like wow
If I'm being honest, Veilbraker remind me about XCOM 2 WotC, and archon theme just like themes of the chosen's - make you feel uncomfortable and puts you on the edge. Epic
Holy shit it does
For some reason I cannot unhear the winter soldier theme whenever i hear this. The melodic "aaaaaa" in the background is so similar
Thank you!
It has an air of Dune, especially those vocals.
I'm close to going into New War. Having seen a friend play it when the expansion first came out, I'm SCARED as I'm NOWHERE near as kitted out as she was with her badass primes. My best Warframe is freakin' Voruna. These guys are proper scary.
I expect it to be a struggle, but one I will enjoy.
How'd it go? Voruna is the strongest melee Warframe in the game.
Fuck it was so fucking good god damnit. God I’m hooked. GIVE ME MORE DE!!! It was so epic!!!!!
This feels less pleasant and melodic, and more like the vocals are the souls of those slain by the Archon screaming at the Drifter to run.
I love it
Vocals giving me dune 2021 soundtrack vibes love it
When I saw those curves I legit screamed "THATS MAG PRIME! THATS MY BABY!"
Love it at 3:00
The entire first part soundtrack have similar vibes to Dune soundtrack for some reason, and i love it
Very hard, but fun boss fights and i always wondered how the archon shards worked with the warframe and the chosen animal
**SPOILER WARNING**

Theme of Dog-Rhino setting me on fire for the zillionth time.
That melody reminds me of the Crysis 2 theme
2:26 the first encounter
this sounds like cursed OutKast singing hey ya
I very Like this soundtrack
Daddy got a bow and he's ready to hunt
Silver for Ballas
This song gave me PTSD
i told you! i told you! an archon!
I love this

Looks like someone would enjoy new Dune soundtrack.
1:43 kinda sounds like that part from Crysis 2
I get egyption god vibes
Funny you say that. Because the Narmer cult is named after a Pharoah of the same name
Nova Prime : You are weak
Nira Archon : I am you
Mag Prime..
you sure
When the cops see that you have a dog
Has some lowkey Dune vibes, I think...
anyone else notice how this sounds alot like doom eternal the ancient gods part 1 world spear?
The alternative Is call hybrid abominations
Official OST name "Sunkiller" ;)
No, Hybrid Abominations.
This kinda sounds like dead by daylight killer chase theme and now I want a crossover
I got it the knight is Ballas with the paracysis (I don't remember how it's spelled) nira as the assassin Amar as the jailer and boreal as the carnifex and this is the chase theme
1:45 kinda like dune ost that give me chill
similar to ua-cam.com/video/BdtiYwSP9ko/v-deo.html at 3:10
I knew I felt Dune vibes from this but I didn't know why.
goodness the owl was annoying
