Crota, Son of Oryx (Reprise) - Destiny 2 OST Mix
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2024
- This is a mix based on the music script for the final encounter of the Crota's End reprised raid. I guess people who wanted a Crota video out of this upload spree are happy that they actually changed his script enough to warrant one. Honestly? W change. Into The Pit sped-up was pretty much the only part people remember from the original Crota music. Soul of Crota is a much better track IMO. Speaking of, tracks used are Soul of Crota and a mix of "Chamber of Night".
0:00 - Intro
1:58 - Soul of Crota (Ambient)
5:00 - DPS 1
5:30 - Soul of Crota (Action)
9:26 - DPS 2
9:55 - Soul of Crota (High Action)
All rights belong to their respective owners. Video game is Destiny 2. Soul of Crota composed by Michael Salvatori, C Paul Johnson, and Martin O'Donnell. "Chamber of Night" composed by C Paul Johnson and Michael Salvatori.
I love how the music goes to “terrifying ambient”, a quiet sound of death, the creeping sound of violins and chanting…but the INSTANT you’re able to deal damage to Crota, it kicks up 10 notches and never goes back down, because if it can bleed, you can kill it. It goes from hopelessness to “there’s a chance you may be able survive and live to tell the tale”.
This music really fits the D2 version given how Crota kicked everyone's ass on day 1 lol
"If you can make God bleed, then people will cease to believe in him"
Amen brotha! outta my 10 years of destiny I never thought of it like that. Dude, write a book, seriously. That's just God given talent right there.
@@jonahbrown5669 my fancy ring supports this comment lol
its crazy how Crota at one Point was the strongest Enemy we've ever fought, The tales from eris going down into the hellmouth and barely escaping with her life, her friends and her ghost gone.
To Crota this was all but 5 More Bodies added to the pile of 1000s of Corpses.
Even now Crota is still one of the strongest foes we ever faced. Only below Rhulk, Nezarec, Savathun and Oryx
@@connormac4401funny how must of our most powerful foes are related to the hive
@@WoozyBear Makes sense since their powers directly came from the Darkness.
Day 1 Crota clears were close to 900 on challenge for first 24 hours…and for KF Challenge it was 2700 ish in 24 hours
So yeah also 10K for Nezarec so Crota is technically hardest raid boss aside from Riven
@@DEADtoRISE08 That was also due to Multiple reasons such as the raid dropping like 2weeks after the dlc dropped so not everyone was prepared.
As someone who only ever played D2, I thought Crota was a joke in all the times D2 has presented him. Dares of Eternity, Shadowkeep campaign, Nightmare Hunts. He just didn't seem that threatening.
Until this. This theme, this place, this legacy of death, this monster. Now I get why Oryx was so pissed. Now I get how and why this dude is a genuine force to be reckoned with. Only now is it finally hitting me.
He wasn't very threatening in D1 either, especially with all the cheese back then
@@adrianpickel1482Yeah we used to strangle this mf with an ethernet cable back in the day. Good times.
@@adrianpickel1482Glad he is now
@@adrianpickel1482Hard Mode made him a challenge. And so did 390, in all fairness... I mean, I soloed him a couple times, but he was a menace, and my gawsh the slams that forced us to wipe cause 2 dimwits would let him be too close, or because he'd actually walk inside the safe zone and pound a couple of us... Only in lvl 30 and in the PS3 version (cause I played both) was he ever really a big fat Joke..
Destiny lore describes Crota as one of the most fearsome opponents to humanity ever faced. He killed hundreds of guardians by himself and was the reason the moon was abandoned. However, between D2 version and D1 he is more menacing in D2 for sure because he seems more menacing with his appearance. The biggest difference I think from his fight in D1 and D2 is that in D1 you had no health regen during the fight unless you were holding the chalice of light.
I miss the transparent/ghost model of Crota. It really made him stand out from other hive bosses besides just being green.
True, but at the same time, this form looks hella menacing. For his time, definitely one of the scariest raid bosses.
He looks more like a manifested soul but yeah
If it Bleeds.
It can die.
I was surprised by the lack of the original "Sword" theme from D1, but it was really cool to hear Soul of Crota be used in this way. It's quite climactic. It felt like a homage to the Dark Below campaign just as much as it was a re-envisioning of the raid itself.
crota wanted to remind us on why he has multiple thousands of guardian and non guardian kills to him and his brood. d2 did him justice after being memed on
Wasn’t it all to prove himself to oryx after he was exiled? Then oryx wasn’t happy we killed his exiled son
too bad we caught him slippin' by letting his soul unguarded like that in the overworld
Really loving how they changed up the music, the anvil strikes and higher tempo of the original music is missed but imo this slower, imposing ambiance that gives way to the DPS phases' "grim determination" is equally as hype and more or less reflects where we are in the story. The more heroic D1 version was us discovering Hive Gods could bleed, and us taking our first steps as a god-killer. The more grim/edgy D2 version is us, the now-experienced god-killer, fighting back and re-establishing that we're stronger (even if the kill was by luck and hundreds of years of preparation by Eris) than even Crota while our universe is essentially in its' endgame.
>The more heroic D1 version was us discovering Hive Gods could bleed
Fuck man I just wanted that again
“he broke my well”
(well cast)
“I messed up my combo”
“stop killing adds”
“Oversoul? OVERSOUL!”
“I ACCIDENTALLY EXPUNGED!”
“fuck”
(wipe)
Bros had the crota lfg experience
WE MAKIN IT OUTTA THE HELLMOUTH WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
We are not making out of the hellmouth!!!
God 5 hours in this room was something else. Might’ve not beaten the challenge mode but this is most definitely my favorite contest mode raid experience.
15 hours baby, the music kept me going the whole way
I'm in love with the soul of crota ambient at the start. The vocals in it are just peak at creating such a foreboding atmosphere.
I get using Soul of Crota for the action phases but man that drum loop in the original fight is really sorely missed here.
I prefer this version but I wish it was just a tad bit louder, the percussion drowns the motif
The drum loop of the original fight now plays in the bridge encounter, starting after the first 2 swords have been preserved across the chasm!
I like it when they use proper old encounter music as much as the next person but the goofy aah drumloop back then was never very cool and honestly this works so much better imo
@@EmptyTenementSpirit EXACTLY
@@EmptyTenementSpirit..
I really liked the damage phase music in D1 but honestly im glad they used the Soul Of Crota song, it was really underused in the first game
In Destiny 1, the moment of tension was when you grabbed that sword, and the music showed. There was basically no music until you grab the sword, when it suddenly gets cranked up to 11.
In Destiny 2, there is tension the whole fight, and the music shows. Grabbing the sword is less important as you are the one dealing the damage this time, so the sword music is much less of a spike compared to last time.
BLOOD ECHOES RETRIEVED
I heard it too
UA-cam placing ads right at the dps drops is fucking evil
I just went from listening to terrifying ambience to a happy advert jingle absolutely ruining the mood and giving me musical whiplash lmao
The D1 orbit music playing at 10:18 goes SO HARD
???
@@ArchivalMindThe horns in the background are playing a menacing version of the D1 track “The great unknown,” which was the orbit music of D1.
@@thehale_oh shit you’re right
I like how the music ambience gives off the vibe that you're stuck in a small room being hunted like an animal. Compared to the music during DPS phase its you and your team retaliating and fighting back.
After that the music doesn't slow back down to pre-dps phase music. For what I'm thinking (since it was the first raid to do something like this even though its obly the 2nd) that "If it can bleed, you can kill it" which is awesome imo.
It was not the first raid
@@coolcat_tom6360 ???
@@Zaku_II Vault of Glass
@@coolcat_tom6360 I meant it more like the first raid to do it like that. It isn't saying much since it was the 2nd raid ever but I'll go ahead and fix that
Crotas theme in d1 felt so unfitting, we were fighting a literal god, one that has slain hundreds of guardians.
In d2 it feels like how it should have sounded, a kind of endurance battle against a master of the sword logic, and a god of the hive. Truly a battle for the ages.
I do agree that overall this version is better but I wish they kept the uniqueness of the original track and put their own spin on it. This just feels like another hive track tbh. The original d1 sword bearer song was also better in my eyes.
@@abuckarooboyo7104 i do agree, not hearing the sword slam sound every 4 seconds during the swordbearer part hurts my soul immensely.
@@abuckarooboyo7104 Well, if it sounds like just another Hive track, that's because it kind of is. "Soul of Crota" used to be the soul crystal's theme in D1.
@@supercato9613 That explains it
@@supercato9613 soul of crota is still really good though, ive always liked it.
Soul of Crota was a really good Choice for this one
I love the sword stomps like the hive knights are hyping the faceoff between you and crota and then the epic sword music plays when you pick up the sword. Literal sword logic. My goodness my 15 year old brain couldn’t handle how awesome it was back in the day.
That queen's ransom at 8:42 will forever live in my head.. would love to see skolas back
leave that man in the prison of elders
Queen's Ransom was written after this though?
@@AtlyxMusic Yup, but bungie has this thing where they use motifs from before the activity itself launches, a good example is Golden age action (i think) has the motif of the sanctified mind
@@vinnyvity That's... I mean yes but other way around for Skolas's case. In this case, the "Mercury's Golden Age" of this group would be Soul of Crota while "The Sanctified Mind" would be Queen's Ransom.
10:07 this part is absolutely perfect for final stand.
I need a longer version of that high action, it sounds so GOOOOOOD

This is way better than Destiny 1.
What u talking about bro
@@ivanmontana3427what are u on bro
Im not on anything I’m not saying its bad its good but not better than d1 it doesn’t even have the sword bearer music plus d1 back ground music was better
@@ivanmontana3427 k. Next time lets see you actually say something meaningful the first time
@@ivanmontana3427, my favorite d1 soundtrack is chronologies, next to kingsfall and aksis, and if we get them to d2, they doesn't even crack to top 10.
1- journey (in game version)
2-oneirophobia (nezarec)
3-the first disciple (rhulk)
4-interference (nokris ver.)
5- deep stone lullaby
6- a god on mars (i don't know if it is rasputin's theme or zol's, bc both are "gods" and they are both on mars.)
7- keep your voices (riven)
8- sorrow bearer (gahlran theme)
9- the sanctified mind
10- the whisper soundtrack
11- temptation (consecrated mind)
12- look within (taniks)
13- herectical omen (zulmak)
14- cronologies (atheon)
have you seen how long it took for me to get to my favorite d1 theme?
edit: missclicked "in" instead of "on" in "a god on mars"
Soul of Crota as a raid theme is an immediate S tier raid soundtrack for me. Love the slow nature of the song that ramps up quickly for damage phase.
This Raid has my all-time favorite DPS phase, it just goes so well especially back then when Crota was a god to be feared, it made the moment so much more epic. This is one of the only tracks I think actually sounds better in the Soundtrack, the build up to the DPS phase in that version is something else.
I’ve been waiting for this ever since the raid came out
I've been waiting for this
5:12 best part until your oversoul role fireteam is dead by knight boomer
God I love the drums in this theme so much. Genuine headbanger
This is by far my favorite reprised D1 raid right now. When I think about it, this raid in particular required perhaps the most effort to re-introduce to the Destiny player base. All the reprised raids were designed in D1 for D1. This raid was terribly balanced when it came to roles. Most of if not all the encounters had a mechanic that could be handled by a single player, meaning fireteams could just check out and let a single member do all of the heavy lifting, which made for a boring raid. In addition, we as Guardians have become far more powerful and mobile than when this raid was first released. It honestly felt like Bungie took the entire raid apart and rebuilt it from the ground up. But the funny thing is there is really only one thing that is majorly different between the D1 and D2 versions: The Chalice.
The Chalice was such a brilliant move from Bungie, taking a mechanic from D1 and redefining it for the reprisal. And I love how it always has a role to play in every encounter, like it is the singular beacon to guide us through the deepest pit of the Hellmouth. And they did all that and kept the overall atmosphere and feel of the raid intact. It really felt like we were plunging into the deepest shadows to kill a god.
Now everyone in the fireteam gets to feel like a hero rather than that singular member grabbing the sword or running through the lanterns. And the showdown with Crota himself was such an awesome experience.
And Bungie came up with a brilliant way to deal with RoW without having to nerf it and push players to use close range dps options. Crota is ready to square up and you better come ready for a brawl. The absolute chaos that unfolds when he breaks a well is hysterical because RoW is finally not the only answer and because he just smoked your survival tool like he was stomping out a match. 😂
RoW?
@@adrianpickel1482I think he means Well of Radiance.
@@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060that’s what I figured but wasn’t sure
They made the osts for the reprised raid work really well, def my new fav raid
I'm glad too after they completely butchered Last Stand with the kings fall reprisal
18 hours on contest and 2 on crota, only to find out that if you had a challenge cp and reloaded you could still get necro on normal. I was delirious when it actually worked.
I personally still prefer if they kept the original song that plays in his fight, and kept the theme when someone has the sword.
I miss the old classic D1 swordbearer theme (after picking up the sword) but this is good to. This is better than Temple of Crota to cause that’s already been used enough.
Ngl i actually missed this one ❤❤❤
The sword slamming noise from the original missing is throwing my brain off super hard.
The parts that sound like screams in the first few tracks are brilliant… like the voices of the thousands of Guardians butchered by Crota. This is the true theme of the monster of Luna, the World Breaker, Eater of Hope, God-Knight, Son of Oryx.
Glad crota gets to join rhulk in absolutely throwing hands during dps... as long as you dont have a burning maul
“he broke my well” x999
Happy there continuing the bosses fighting back rather than just standing there. It feels much better that rhulk crota and nezarec actually fight back during dps.
I don't think I've ever had such a visceral response to hearing a soundtrack again after spending 20 hours straight in that hellhole fucking up before we finally killed him. Hearing the music again genuinely gives me anxiety and depending on which beat it's on I'm already thinking about shit I need to be doing or helping others do.
Lore accurate Crota
It fits, just the dps phase could be better ig. Soul of Crota definitely feels better
My headset's mic died during day 1 so i had to use airpods for game audio and discord via my phone for VC. Was so bummed I couldn't hear this properly while doing it!
11:37 10:18 10:40
He laughs, “And then someone comes along and kicks Crota’s teeth in.”
the new sword bearer theme is fucking hype as shit, but im surprised they got rid of the original
Honestly, same. With how much Bungie caters to nostalgia, on top of the fact that the music scripts from the other two D1 raid reduxes went virtually unchanged, I thought this would fall under a similar fate. Honestly, I'm kinda glad they did. A sped-up Into The Pit is cool but the whole track wasn't made for a fight. Soul of Crota is.
I think I would have preferred an entirely new boss theme for sure. This one’s okay but it still feels pretty low energy considering the circumstances, especially the dps phases. I think the original swordbearer theme was much better.
Agreed. Original swordbearer theme sounded a lot more epic, but it makes up for it with the other parts of the ost I guess
This is far more grave than energetic, which I'd argue is more contextually appropriate.
Each to their own, but I find it to be a nice break from the norm
With how claustrophobic and dark the raid is I think a low energy fight is fitting.
"Low energy". The D2 version is much more energetic and intense compared to the D1 version in both gameplay and music.
2:15 I've played way too much bloodborne to not have caught that sound effect they use in the track
i thought exactly the same haahaha
the only thing i do miss is how during the dps music, the hitting of metal sound that's meant to imitate clashing swords seems really drowned out by the horns. i love the reprise but thats my only nit pick is that that piece percussion seems a bit quieter than it should be.
2:12 WHY IS THERE A BLOOD BORN VISCERAL ATTACK SOUND EFFECT AM I CRAZY?
Could you extend the swordbearer theme?
In this case, the extension is the entire high action.
Remastering the soundtrack gives me such high hopes for Eyes Up/Archpriest soundtrack in WotM.
They didn't remaster it, they replaced the track that played with a different one. This track has existed exactly like this since The Dark Below, it just wasn't used in Crota's End. So yeah, don't expect any new music for Wrath.
We're likely never getting a Wrath remaster
Hmmm its definitely more modern sounding. But the ambience is very different from d1. D1 sounded very alien with a filter over it giving a sense of suffocation. Which I kinda miss as we went deep underground into this very alien area. However the D1 version does get very repetitive. I do like this new version. They did a really good job and theres a lot more too the version than the d1 version.
Promethean when he goes back to archiving destiny music
Finally i could complete this raid my uncles complete this raid too i suppose is my legacy.
I'm sorry but I just can't unhear the stock horror sound at 8:45 lmao

Are you gonna upload the D1 version of Crota's boss theme ?
8:50 Isn't that part of Skolas's theme?
I think there's a bit of taniks in there aswell
@@n1c0785No Taniks. Also Queen's Ransom was made after. I'm not sure the logistics of that, maybe that beat was just made as a general thing that got reused.
@@n1c0785 I think the thing you're hearing as "Taniks" is The Hope chant from Music of the Spheres, which is used as a generic motif and has nothing to do with Taniks. That appears in a lot of tracks. Case in point, here it is in Crota lol.
It's the strings at 3:23 and it appears in a lot of other places in this track as well.
Scrota sack of Oryx
what did they do to dps
Same melody, different track.
5:30 almost reminds me of pacific rims themes
anyone else hear skolas's theme at 8:40 ???
Yep
It's from soul of crota
*Blood Echoes retrieved*
Is it just me...or does the DPS track sound vaguely like Skolas's theme?
Other way around
You get the 3 hour loop trying to LFG the master challenge
WE NEED IR YUT
song name is "Temple of Crota"
Yeah I want the original back, it felt scarier
DPS without those first 2 notes and without the anvil just didn’t hit man
Idk why they had to make the tempo so much quicker too.
me and the bois who's done the raid in 24h listen to this track for like 7h 😐

it does have percussion tho but I know what you mean.
@@ridion4382 we mean the sword slam sound every 4 seconds, it was in the d1 version and it was the cherry on top.
@@gabrielgalasso4899i honestly thought that sound effect was a biproduct of the theme being extracted poorly and never being cut out, was never a huge fan of it personally.
@@dominussalt1682 i loved it, it honestly made it feel more cannon in a way, like what we were doing was influencing the music itself, almost as if its cheering us on in a way.
@@gabrielgalasso4899 That's an anvil which was a common sample used in early D1 tracks.
5:00
I honestly like this version but I don’t think it’s fair to compare it to the original D1 version. D1 had such a different vibe in general.
This is a d1 song. It was for the crota soul crystal boss from dark below
IDK man, the damage phase for this fight just ain't the same as the original. I can't put my finger on it, but dpsing Crota doesn't feel as satisfying as it used to, and I feel as though the remix of the song plays into it. It's too fast and doesn't sound as impactful as it used to
damage phase music is greatly expanded and cooler in d2 but the normal music isnt as cool imo
If you told me literally 5 days ago that Crota would become one of the most mechanic heavy, teamwork centric, most Difficult final raid bosses on Contest, and an actual boss outside of it, I would have called you a liar.
And boy... I'm glad you weren't
He's a complete joke outside of contest though...
@@adrianpickel1482you can still completely fuck up on his fight though
@@adrianpickel1482 Every raid boss is. That's the game now (some more than others, Nezarec) but Crota is up there with Rhulk and Riven as the best final bosses in D2. Mainly because their fights had actual mechanics.
@@BinkTheDragon skill issue
@bepisaxe4464 Val Ca'ouor is the only raid boss I'd call mechanically intensive seeing as you literally need to do like 5 different mechanics to get to DPS. Yes technically riven is too if you do it legit, but that doesn't count due to a pitiful health pool combined with power creep, leading to 99% of groups cheesing it. Yes Val could be cheesed in terms of damage with wardcliff but you still needed to perform all the mechanics to get to that point to begin with
9:26
God this is so much better than d1's theme, d1's theme sounded more like something from fucking cruelty squad than a destiny boss theme
so glad it's not slurpcore like in D1
Only the swordbearer part in d1 I liked
Ehhhhh, I think it's a little flaccid honestly. Sword theme is cool as always but I loved the old rave for being fairly unconventional vs the typical ambience track so to say
I like the D1 swordbear theme better
I hate the DPS phase so much, i was looking forward to hearing it while doing contest thinking it was gonna be so badass but this sucks 😭
Cry then lol. It sounds great.
The real Destiny players understand that D1 Swordbearer music is the true Crota theme. Not this, if you disagree you probably never solo'd him back on D1.
Technically both are. Into the Pit and Soul of Crota... like the only two pieces made for The Dark Below, are in total reference to Crota.
@@ArchivalMind thankfully both songs are complete bangers and we have an amazing member of the community who ensures these songs are playable and enjoyable outside the game (thank you) :)

Like... the encounter or the music? Can't comment on the encounter. Hated D1 Crota, probably gonna hate D2 Crota. But the music? It's just the first minute of this with one little cue to break it up every once in a while. Soul of Crota is a much better choice than Into The Pit sped up.

@@spider-man2153 That's some rose tinted goggles lol, not everyone loved it.
@@squadass99everyone loved it because it was a 6-man strike rather than a raid. “Not everyone loved it” then Tell those people that loved it what you just told me and see if they tell you different.
They made the music worse alongside the raid :( I prefered the weird rave music over this VoG adjacent ambience.
Nah you're capping. The raid is so much better in D2. Music is still better in D1.
I have come around to the music more actually. The raid not so much I still think Crota himself is terribly designed, and really all they needed to do was add an aggro mechanic and he would be like twice as better to fight.
i'd prefer the original.
I’m sorry to say but this ost sucks and it’s out of place. I missed the old one that gets me pumped up but this one it fries my brain.
This just sucks. Original is simpler and the sword bearer part made it feel good when you did damage. This is so meh I’d rather it play the original and have the sword bearer music play during dps.
IN MY OPINION, this theme is beter then the original. It fits Crota WAY beter than the d1 version and they implemented the swordbarer theme into the melody REALY good and continued the melody around that heroic and hopefull feeling, as in d1 this heroic theme would just apear in the middle of an electro rave type song. I'M NOT SAING THAT THE ORIGINAL WAS BAD, i actualy realy like it, but I prefere the new one . (Holy shit i wrote am entire esay without realizing it)
Yea nah d1 version is better
kinda disappointing actually. The "DPS" totally lost its epicness. The epic feeling of getting the sword, striking crota and your teammates shooting a bunch of gjallarhorn missiles. Now the theme is just... Fine... Nothing special about it. Just another boss theme.
Death by Nostalgia
This song just feels incredibly rushed. Marty would never make a track like this and whoever remixed it did a poor job.
bland revisit of an iconic fight, wasn't expecting much anyway
