No matter how difficult the problem, no matter how much the odds are stacked against you, this tune gives you the strength to fight through, and even gives you hope that you can beat this monstrosity of a boss on deathmarch/ hardest difficulty setting. I get goosebumps listening to this tune, I'm going to never ever forget this game. Hands down the witcher 3? one of greatest video games ever written and produced! .
I've been a musician and multi intrumentalist all my life, I'm 36 now. And this piece made me cry when i heard it the first time. Tears of joy at what the mind of a gifted master of my piers can create in to this world. Not in the sense of technical aspect... But the creativity and the beauty of that choir. You've got people like Jonnhy Greenwood and Nobuo Uematsu. Marcin Przybyłowicz is a master at his craft. With all the horrible things humans does, It's conforting to know that beauty can be created as well.
people forget about what all the wonderful things humans do, but it dosen`t make good news. when`s the last time there was a channel with just good news? never.
please do watch this games other soundtrack as well like 'the tree when we sat once' ,' kaer morhen ', 'Ard Skellige' , 'The slopes of the blessure' etc. each and every soundtrack is a masterpiece
It's lovely to see a musician commentary about music. I'm just starting my journey in this field but this level of masterpiece makes me Astonished and it's not every that has the same reaction that I do
Of course they are. Because in their minds they know people don't know the real truth behind the words. For instance, Christmas. A pagan holiday that dates back to Roman days and the seven days of sin aka Saturnila(Dec 17th to Dec. 25th) . Despite these facts, people continue to blindly celebrate a false holiday.
god frigging dammit, its hard to stomach the posibility that all you said is true (im not saying that in a bad way), i mean, for what purpose would they do all that? is there a point in all that symbolism? I could understand if we where talking about some kind of goverment or extremely powerfull individuals (by powerfull i mean people who has lots of power at their disposal, be it by money, information, social standing,etc), but then again, if they are members of secret societies or organizations, why would they flaunt it in the open for everyone to see?
Questions? lol i think that even if i asked something it would only mean that i would have more and more questions. One of my friend´s brother had a knack for all this, mostly from a metaphysic/buddhist view, i always tended to end up talking to him about those things, but we simply never had enough time. I remember when once he told me about one of his long time friend (who also teaches metaphysics and taught him all he knew), who suffered an accident which doctors told him that he would have to be in the hospital for like 1 whole year, but he knew different methods of meditation (i dont really remember how but he mentioned Chi) and in only 2 months he was already out and completely well. That being said, i believe that what stopped me from immersing myself in the studies of all these things is fear, fear that im not ready to completely deconstruct all we know about society (even tho im 22 years old), yet i decided to study psychology, more specifically the french school (Freud/Lacan) to see if i could learn anything about the mind, yet i fear its not enough, it clearly introduces you to another conception of how the mind affects the body, you always hear talking about stress and all but they dont know the real implications that even the slightest trauma from anywhere in your life could come later to break you down in any number of ways (sadly, i suffered that twice , having fallen ill with no reason whatsoever when i was completely healthy and i couldnt be cured by normal means). So maybe instead of asking specific questions about certain matters, i think i would rather ask you: What should i look for? Where? How? My friends brother sometimes recommended me some books while we where talking but i always ended up forgetting which ones he said...or maybe i didnt want to remember in order to avoid dabbling in such things.
@@cosmic2750 next time you do a playthrough, kill it. If you spare it, you'll subject it to even more torture since they'll continue to use it for battles. end its suffering next time
@@redninenine_ yeah i thought about that too, but if you think deeper you would just let it go.. The shaelmaar will die at the next contest and if not then the other one (eventually). And so his death would give nothing good to the world and would also mean nothing to anyone (people will just find another beast in its place). If you spare him, then people will think that witchers do not always kill "monsters" and are not bloodthirsty, therefore you may cause someone to change their views on the topic. CDPR was also wise on this one, you need to let the shaelmaar live in order to receive Aerondight (more know as Excalibur and not Caliburn.. people confuse them sometimes. Or you can do some other things in its place)
W3 just constantly delivers in everything, but the OST has to be the strongest point of it all - all of them are just so damn well placed and gets your adrenalin pumping when you hear them, or fits the character you talk with (Ladies of The word couldn't have had a creepy atmosphere without that damn OST!)
Not quite, the music itself is a remix of For Honour! For Toussaint! And plays basically anytime you get into a fight with bandits, beasts, or monsters.
@@decimation9780 Nope! 'For Honor! For Toussaint!' is a completely different track! This 'epic' Shaelmaar music really does play only once in the entire game. Although a retake of the tune at the beginning of this track is included in the score during end battle with Dettlaff. But the genre of that track is super grim, and the genre of this original track is 'adrenaline-pumping epic' lol. They don't feel the same at all.
@@grumpywitcher It isn’t. If you listen to the entirety of "For Honour! For Toussaint!" You can tell that they simply looped parts of it for the fight with the Shaelmaar. While there are a bunch of unique tracks, the Shaelmaar fight track isn’t one of them, it is simply For Honour! For Toussaint! With some loops parts. If there was any actual work done on the music, it was scarcely any, probably because CDPR didn’t want to waste too much time pushing Blood and Wine, which was essentially an entire game in and of itself, rather than simply being DLC.
Something about the rhythm and vocals blending in so well that makes this soundtrack worth listening to again. Very surprising since the fight in itself was a cluster fuck.
"Alternatively this soundtrack was also used for the battle against Dettlaff (2nd Phase)". Not true. The two tracks share elements, such as the vocals, but they're not the same. Honestly I prefer this one over Tesham Mutna.
This dude was so hard the first time (I didn't know you could use aard on the wall to confuse it) and I ended up killing it with bleeding damage because I didn't know how else to hurt it
@@jaywalker6464 personally guides and tutorials kinda ruined the experience, I beat the first half in excitement and then I picked up some guides on the internet. That quickly ruined my game because my Geralt powered up so quickly, tearing through all monsters and bosses with op builds, enemies attack patterns and witcher gears. I'm no longer have the same awesome feeling when I crafted my long-awaited Rednadian armor or picked up a shining relic sword as a newbie. After that, I played the two DLCs without looking at any guide and it was mind-blowing again.
I actually tried using aard (and bombs) on the wall and it didn't work. Ended up figuring out that if you get directly in front of it and hit it with igni when its head is up, it'll momentarily stun it and create an opening. Igni always impresses me how useful it is while being the only sign I didn't put any points into until after the next boss. odd thing is, bombs work fine on later ones. I found out you can just throw a poison bomb against a wall and it'll roll into it and poison itself.
Unless you cheated i doubt you ever did that. After the shaelmaar everything requires 40+ level Meaning everything one shots you and everything you fight needs to be hit a million times. You literally go against armies of vampires, necrophages and bandits before even getting to Detlaff. Get out of here with your bs xd
@@danterik9781 I was for real like lvl 35, I know I was cause I played blood and wine first before hearth and stone. It took me a long fucking time to kill the bruxna in the castle I remember too. But idk quen all he way is what I did.
Niksonrex The detlaff fight has a different theme, or two in fact. First phase is «The Beast of Beauclair» and the second is «Tesham Mutna». The three themes do have similarities though.
this fight always made me sad. the poor creature is forced to fight, stolen from its home. it must be terrible for geralt to fight it. he doesnt like killing innocent creatures unless he absolutely has to from what I understand.
For anyone curious and wanting to listen to the non remixed version, search for For Honour! For Toussaint! On Spotify, or just listen to it on UA-cam if you don’t have Spotify.
I started B&W yesterday and I have to say that when I heard this track I was like "Fuck yeah", really :P Haven't seen such good soundtrack since the original Witcher 3 and Bloodborne (maybe Dark Souls 3 could count here, it had some amazing tracks). Thanks for the upload ;)
kolesnikov 94 I totally agree! :D PS: About the boss fight - I can' t say it was bad, but it was easy and I mean super easy comparing to games like DS. Even on Death March. Practically every boss battle didn't take more than 4-5 min for me :P
+Whity :D I gotta agree with you on that. The boss fights in Hearts of Stone were relatively difficult, especially the Toad Prince at first. The boss fights in Blood and Wine were all pretty easy, and for the most part, a bit repetitive considering the majority of the bosses are vampires. The only one that gave me trouble was Dettlaff because of his bat attack, but once I got past that, defeating him was a piece of cake. Can't say they weren't fun though.
Seriously... When those dicks in the arena were cheering me on to kill it, well...if it wasn't trying to kill me(out of fear for its own life, of course), I'd drop my sword and give it a belly rub or something. Fuck bloodsports!
@@optimaltt6070 Wild Shaelmaar would kill people for the sake of killing, but the one encountered in the arena wasn't a wild Shaelmaar. It was bred in captivity, thus it wouldn't have attacked the people unless it felt threatened, and of course it does, since they're poking the poor thing with sticks and urging it to fight knights in arenas, only for it to then end up being humiliated.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 Killing beings for sport is shit but about the shaelmaar not killing you because it was "hand raised" you're wrong. I was replaying Blood & Wine yesterday and I read the description of the "Shaelmaar given by the Emperor of Nilfgaard", (the specific shaelmaar you fight in the arena) and it states that despite being taken from its nest as a young shaelmaar and being bred by Nilfgaardian arena masters for *fighting* it still retained all its natural aggressiveness and bloodthirst. Shaelmaar don't seem to me as a being you'd be able to give "belly rubs" even if you feed it, it seems like they'd just kill you as soon as they become able to no matter what kind of relationship you had with them. They ain't dog. Still killing them for sport is a bitch move and I spared the shaelmaar in both my replays.
Its all about where the game is rekeased like in POLAND whe have a lot slavian parts becaouse you know we are slavian but america and england where there are more royal elements. And the witcher is all about the slavian elements and in the english version a lot of terms ( or so i think ) are more royal while on the polish version people stick to tradisins and the old language and the blood and wine dlc just totally swaps the too so the POLISh version just gets more royal caouse szarlej for POLISH people sounds a lot like butler which is considered royal and for the english version it gets more slavian. Sorry for the bad english i am POLISH so my phone keeps autocorrecting Stuff but remember its just a theory a witcher theory!
@@jedrzejklakowski1820 I can get it but It's actually quite unfair. Lots of foreign monsters aren't translated into more easy versions, but polish ones. Especially Szarlej isn't so hard to pronounce, I guess (sharley sounds pretty english actually)
There is this female choir each time like fate and then it is supported by drums and trumpets which I think is Geralt's unbreakable will and its just awesome T_T @1:26
funny enough i could never get that deep into witcher 3 because i didnt know that much about it. Then the show came out and i started getting even more interesting in witcher 3 , BUT then i watched all cutscenes of Witcher 1 and 2 games and going into witcher 3 was FUKIN AMAZING and also know because i know what would Geralt would normally do in any situation .... PICK THE LESSER EVIL so when he was in the stadium and got down to fight the Shelamar i feel like this theme kinda describes to me how time goes by but Geralt will always try to survive and pick the lesser evil even if it means his own death
Hi, I recorded this from the game, then made a video of it. You can download this in MP3 format with JDownloader or with the "Magic UA-cam" trick. Hope this helps :)
Have a combination of 3 decoctions (only the ones that increase “attack power”) and have superior thunderbolt, you will still have enough toxicity left for vitality potions..every fight will be a piece of cake
@@hsunekichi2218 in the character tab, u need to acquire and upgrade two abilities in the Alchemy branch - Heightened tolerance 5/5 and Acquired Tolerance 5/5...Heightened tolerance will allow u to have many potions and acquired tolerance will increase your maximum toxicity for every level 1, 2 3 formula u know...and then go and make all the potions and decoctions whose formula u find..then u can easily have 4 decoctions at a time..and many many potions without effecting your vitality
Ten Shealmaar albo raczej Szarlej jest nawet podobny do ryciny w bestiariuszu...zadbali o szczegóły ale nawet go trochę podrasowali wygląda bardziej morderczo :p tylko zamiast nękać górników to walczy na arenie xD
I decided id be fancy and wear just the ornate robe boots and pants to the tournament. Its good for rp i thought. I might get a unique dialougue i thought. Why is there boss music i thought. Edit: this was on death march as well
So do you have the revamped version of this that plays during the Bruxa fight?

Jakub Lapinski Aj tam, prościzna to wszystko. Miałem doświadczenie w... trudniejszych grach (ekhem 500h w Dark Souls ekhem ekhem) :D
Good sir .. You're a legend among us

There's something about the bit at 0:22 that would make me sympathetic toward almost anything I was fighting.
It would be great ending credits song for Blood and Wine. Just sumes up everything. Knights, trumpets, Tesham Mutna theme...
best theme
il ma fait de la peine ce shelmar 😟
max83 My French isn’t there yet but I liked your comment.
@@TheLegoJungle he talk about the poor shaelmar's arena fate
Poor Shaelmaar.
Seriously...
When those dicks in the arena were cheering me on to kill it, well...if it wasn't trying to kill me(out of fear for its own life, of course), I'd drop my sword and give it a belly rub or something. Fuck bloodsports!
@@optimaltt6070 Wild Shaelmaar would kill people for the sake of killing, but the one encountered in the arena wasn't a wild Shaelmaar. It was bred in captivity, thus it wouldn't have attacked the people unless it felt threatened, and of course it does, since they're poking the poor thing with sticks and urging it to fight knights in arenas, only for it to then end up being humiliated.

Killing beings for sport is shit but about the shaelmaar not killing you because it was "hand raised" you're wrong.
I was replaying Blood & Wine yesterday and I read the description of the "Shaelmaar given by the Emperor of Nilfgaard", (the specific shaelmaar you fight in the arena) and it states that despite being taken from its nest as a young shaelmaar and being bred by Nilfgaardian arena masters for *fighting* it still retained all its natural aggressiveness and bloodthirst.
Shaelmaar don't seem to me as a being you'd be able to give "belly rubs" even if you feed it, it seems like they'd just kill you as soon as they become able to no matter what kind of relationship you had with them. They ain't dog.
Still killing them for sport is a bitch move and I spared the shaelmaar in both my replays.
Shaelmaar Lives Matter
This is basically Tesham Mutna.
I love this version. But I do think it's better suited to listening after the fact than during the battle.
Poor Shaelmaar :(
Monsters must dies
Omfg
Thank YOU
finally, its here
and thanks alot for this
Great theme!
Just curious how polish "Szarlej" ("Sharley") became "Shaelmaar"...
Its all about where the game is rekeased like in POLAND whe have a lot slavian parts becaouse you know we are slavian but america and england where there are more royal elements. And the witcher is all about the slavian elements and in the english version a lot of terms ( or so i think ) are more royal while on the polish version people stick to tradisins and the old language and the blood and wine dlc just totally swaps the too so the POLISh version just gets more royal caouse szarlej for POLISH people sounds a lot like butler which is considered royal and for the english version it gets more slavian. Sorry for the bad english i am POLISH so my phone keeps autocorrecting Stuff but remember its just a theory a witcher theory!
@@jedrzejklakowski1820 I can get it but It's actually quite unfair. Lots of foreign monsters aren't translated into more easy versions, but polish ones. Especially Szarlej isn't so hard to pronounce, I guess (sharley sounds pretty english actually)
Andres Igreda Well...... actaully a lot of times people went like:What? How do I pranounce J??????
@@jedrzejklakowski1820 So that's the reason why it should be written as "Sharley", but god dang why "shaelmaar"?
Newbies : lelele lelelelele lelelele !
Casuals : parara taï dam ! parara taï dam !
Masters : HEEEEYYAAAA HEEHEEEYA !
There is this female choir each time like fate and then it is supported by drums and trumpets which I think is Geralt's unbreakable will and its just awesome T_T @1:26
Those who dislike it, they don't know what music is. I feel bad for those.
Que calidad de juego díos mío
This is so epic 🔥. I think TW3 and FF7 are the games with best soundtracks.
Now! Who's fighting their imaginary monsters?
The Best for Fighting... 😍😍😍😍
The woman's voice is the same as in Tesham Mutna, my favourite track.
funny enough i could never get that deep into witcher 3 because i didnt know that much about it. Then the show came out and i started getting even more interesting in witcher 3 , BUT then i watched all cutscenes of Witcher 1 and 2 games and going into witcher 3 was FUKIN AMAZING and also know because i know what would Geralt would normally do in any situation ....
PICK THE LESSER EVIL
so when he was in the stadium and got down to fight the Shelamar i feel like this theme kinda describes to me how time goes by but Geralt will always try to survive and pick the lesser evil even if it means his own death
he looks like striga from witcher netflix xD
so epic
underrated as all hell
yes!!
Super game, super OST. Thank you from Russia.
where did you find this ?
where can I find a high quality MP3 of this one ?
Hi, I recorded this from the game, then made a video of it. You can download this in MP3 format with JDownloader or with the "Magic UA-cam" trick. Hope this helps :)
+kolesnikov 94 thanks alot
When fighting monsters you play music, if you don’t, you aren’t fighting monsters right.
Mole in my garden heard this song .
Now I have Shaelmaar in garden
Please help :(
One of my longest fights, I really didn't know how to damage him properly xd
Have a combination of 3 decoctions (only the ones that increase “attack power”) and have superior thunderbolt, you will still have enough toxicity left for vitality potions..every fight will be a piece of cake
@@Helix9999 with Griffin amor?
@@hsunekichi2218 I was using the wolven armor
@@Helix9999 So how did you increase so much toxocity limit?
@@hsunekichi2218 in the character tab, u need to acquire and upgrade two abilities in the Alchemy branch - Heightened tolerance 5/5 and Acquired Tolerance 5/5...Heightened tolerance will allow u to have many potions and acquired tolerance will increase your maximum toxicity for every level 1, 2 3 formula u know...and then go and make all the potions and decoctions whose formula u find..then u can easily have 4 decoctions at a time..and many many potions without effecting your vitality

I'M FUCKING CRYING!!!!!!! THAT'S HOW GOOD THIS SHIT IS
I personally want to drink and talk with those who disliked this. C'mon, they are depressed people.
Ten Shealmaar albo raczej Szarlej jest nawet podobny do ryciny w bestiariuszu...zadbali o szczegóły ale nawet go trochę podrasowali wygląda bardziej morderczo :p tylko zamiast nękać górników to walczy na arenie xD
Damn...i love it
I always do a New b&w run just for the good ass Boss music
why is this not on spotify
It is
shelmar is. a. cute armadillo
they should've used this song for netflix's witcher intro
Shaelmaar sounds like a Pokemon.
