Taniks has no legs. He kneels before nothing because he lacks knees, owes allegiance to no gravity. He is a shank, and very good at being one. I have been watching him since Slayerage got to this encounter, yes? Now Taniks works against Worlds First, but not for long.

Taniks and Fallen S.A.B.E.R. I think it was a pretty cool boss fight. It wasn't as grand in scale as Oryx or Riven, but it doesn't need to be. It's just a few lone-wolf Fallen going all out with what they had available, and it's great, imo.
I think the different direction in tone they took with the DSC final boss was really neat. As opposed to fighting the big baddie at the end of a fortress of darkness, when you fight Taniks, you’ve basically already won by preventing the complete annihilation of the planet. It’s just some unfinished business with the old Shadow Thief taking place in some insignificant ruins. Whether or not you like the way it was handled I can definitely see both sides but I personally thought it was really refreshing and subversive of what we expect from a raid.

Anyone who actually has played the games Salvatori has worked on with Bungie, Destiny or otherwise, knows his music is a small but key part of why those games are as good and beloved as they are.
This fight isn't some grandiose thing, this is just a personal fight for us veterans. We already beat the raid by crashing the satellite station. But this fight, Taniks knows who we are and we know who Taniks is, this is just a straight up personal battle between bitter enemies. And this song captures that perfectly.

not really, i think we could of just left taniks there to rot, but this theme is more of the GUARDIAN's theme, tower music blaring. it doesnt sound like tanik's bossfight, it doesn't sound like taniks even had a theme at all, it sounds like taniks is the one who's trying to invade our turf, along with the unfinished business of D1 and us killing him 3 times for killing the old hunter vanguard

no, this is the theme of us kicking Taniks ass again, teaching him the lesson that you don't fuck with humanity. Or we'll drop a fucking space station on you.
@@icicle_ai That's just an audio glitch thing. His head is sitting in our igloo as a trophy so I think he's pretty fucking dead (until some Fallen raid it and steal his head back and make him ANOTHER body)
Edit: Dang! Thanks for all the likes! I could argue this is one if not the best destiny tracks of all time. You got that perfect mix of the Beyond Light theme at the forefront, then mixing in the Fallen Empire theme mixed with the Darkness motif. Then, on top of all that, They perfectly blend in the D2 AND D1 themes for that final cherry on top. This is musical perfection
>My raid group doing Deepstone Crypt finally gets to taniks after 14 hours. >He enrages at low HP. >this theme starts. Most epic fucking win ever. Note: we tend to do raids completely blind and figure out how to understand them. If we can't beat the raid within 24 hours the first time, we study videos and maps of it to better understand, refine, and do again. This took 14 hours with no studying or beforehand prep.
Deep Stone Crypt breakdown: Scene 1: Grand Entrance (Sparrow Racing and all). Scene 2: Breaching the Deep Stone Crypt Entrance. We activate the Crypt AI, which warns us no to go further. Scene 3: Grand Finale: Atraks-1 (the true raid boss). Crypt AI activates Nuclear Descent Protocol because we paid no attention to his warning. A new threat emerges: Europa's annihilation. Scene 4: We stop the Nuclear Collision.Taniks is there watching us do our business completely unaware of what we're doing. Scene 5: In the aftermath of an almost utter destruction, Taniks makes one Last Stand for revenge amidst the wreckage of the threat we stopped. This is our theme. We are the final boss.
Fun fact: after killing taniks, if you walk into his body and let him kill you. You hear him scream/laugh, Theory 1: just a laugh from beyond the grave Theory 2: taniks the taken is soon to come
@@evilness3404 A: Scorn Taniks would make Uldren go crying for Fikrul. B: Taken Taniks would tell Oryx to go think about his life choices, before taking Oryx, just because.
4:50 You've burned through your super, you're down to just your smg, and Taniks is on the opposite end of the map seconds from wiping the team. So you squeeze the trigger so hard the controller might break and- 4:56- Taniks goes down and you remember to breathe. The first playthrough always hits hardest
The whole song slapped so hard I didn't know which part was damage phase until today's raid. GG's Bungie, you absolutely killed it with this OST and the Deep Stone Crypt
Getting to fight Taniks was actually a huge deal for me. I'm one of the people who has only been able to experience Destiny 2 due to a lack of owning a console when Destiny came out. After all the lore dives and stories from my friends, I was actually super excited to battle this legendary figure myself in proper fashion, instead of just fighting a nightmare version of him that didn't have nearly as much impact.
I know that feeling. I read a bunch of lore pertaining to him, especially about Andal Brask and Cayde, and knowing what this abomination has done, the pain he has caused my friends, it made his defeat that much sweeter...
He is one of the bosses the veterens ( me included ) have a grudge against ...he killed tevin ....the hunter vanguard before cayde ....plus he is the longest surviving boss from D1 ...so its unfinished buisness
I'm super interested in D1 as I never got to experience it. Getting to *actually* fight Taniks, instead of just looking at videos or reading lore about him, was legendary.
This is the best overall dlc track I’ve ever heard, and this individual track is on par with Journey, Bow to no one, and and even possible the original Union piece from music of the spheres
Taniks has no legs. He kneels before nothing because he lacks knees, owes allegiance to no gravity. He is a shank, and very good at being one. I have been watching him since Slayerage got to this encounter, yes? Now Taniks works against Worlds First, but not for long.
This was the first raid i completed in D2 a couple months ago. I still remember saying this music was *EPIC*. And now the composer is laid off.... Wow...
I didn't play Destiny 1, but I absolutely love that DSC let me experience a fight with Taniks. I just love how this dude always returns and I my fireteam was so happy to experience one of his comebacks. Felt so good to finally land the decisive Anarchy nades on him after almost 11h in the raid
It was a perfect scene. Not a clichéd, overdone example of Light vs Dark. The Light was gone, constrained by the Dark within as the purest expression of the Hive's Sword Logic was applied. "Come then. Show me what freedom has given you!" was the utterance of not just a challenge, but a promise that whoever won would have the right to exist. Gone are the ethereal chimes and light horn sections of the Light. We've gone beyond light. Beyond dark. We've become the Final Shape, and where we walk the ground breaks.
Taniks was such a badass in the raid. He tried to destroy Europa entirely with nuclear charges, crashed an entire space station, yet survived and decide to stand up again one last time to show how much he hates us and that he wants our guardians to be dead. Unfortunately for him, we were ready.
It's especially good cuz Taniks is basically the overpowered anime protag going up against the insurmountable villains, if you look at it from his perspective.
0:00 As you land, dazed and confused you search the site for any signs of life. During this search you find the body of Taniks, welded to a shank bursting from the debris that fell. 0:22 The time has come for you and your fireteam to form a plan, hoping that this will get rid of this beast once and for all. You start throwing everything you have at him, soon after realizing there is the same nuclear technology from the ship shielding him. 1:01 You and your fireteam notice the same glyphs you found on the ship before it crashed. You already know how to use them, the problem lies in where they go. 1:15 The beast glows in an orange aura, giving off the same signature those nuclear cores did on the ship, only this time its focused on the craft the beast is set on. Realizing you can use that energy to your advantage, you focus fire on the four propeller like mechanisms jutting out from all four corners and small nuclear core falls out. 1:30 As soon as you pick up one of the cores, the warlock holding the scanner glyph noticed the same visions he saw on the ship. With this knowledge, you are directed to a familiar looking crate in which you store the item. Meanwhile the guardian who had Suppressor also saw a familiar sight, the same drone like machines aiming towards Taniks. With both teams working in tandem, the Operator would help guide and remove and traps the beast place upon the guardians. 3:01 As the time comes ever closer to defeat Taniks, the fireteam prepares and eliminates the rest of his defenses. Taniks waits, giving them a cold, dark stare 3:21 Now with the power of Light and Dark you send this beast spiraling into the abyss, ending the reign on Taniks forever. Sealing off the Deep Stone Crypt from the Fallen and leaving its secrets into your hands.
@@nekomanceer most teams where doing this for 12+ hours straight us included and only I got heritage from Atraks-1 so the rest of our team ran primary’s instead day one tactics were a lot different from today’s you’d actually get to hear this part of the theme and dam wasn’t it epic
Funny thing, as long as you have divinity, 5 Cerberus +1 with Catalyst will down him before he can knock you out of the donut twice on the first phase. You can one phase him with quite a number of primary guns.
@@BlueBeefalo Ah sorry I thought you knew. Almost all the UA-camrs have posted a vid talking about the raid. Well Ive seen what the raid will look like and buddy it looks amazing. Also sure I did spoil that but there is a waaaaaaaaay bigger. But as I said. Youll have to figure that one out first.
So let me get this straight he was casual taniks then destroyed by us then resurrected by siva and destroyed again and now he was resurrected by Atraks- 1 Then ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED AGAIN
2:07 Is a callback to the track called “Guardian” in Destiny 1. You hear those same notes as you’re being resurrected or the first time. Here, it sounds a lot different. I like to imagine that the drastic difference in the two pieces symbolizes our Guardian going from a fragile, confused New Light that can be one-shot by a Dreg to a monster killing demigod who can topple beings of godlike power.
Bungie, I know someone there reads these comments. I just wanted to let all of you know this raid was fantastic. A beautiful execution of story, exciting battles, decompression time after a brutal boss fight, and the narrative told in the raid itself is unmatched. The day one contest mode was the perfect challenge. Could not have asked for more from this raid
@@nostop7794 I'm not saying this raid was terrible, and it's definitely the highlight of the season. And there were some parts that I found beautiful, like the spacewalk jumping puzzle, the music, and the set design. I just find OP's words to be rather hyperbolic. I mean, what story was even there? Taniks is back with literally no explanation and he's the end boss. Atraks-1 has zero dialogue. There is literally no personal connection between the Guardians and who they're fighting. The whole story boils down to "the Fallen found some dangerous technology, let's stop them from doing evil things." It's basically an exact repeat of Rise of Iron's story with the House of Devils and SIVA, only without the Iron Lords and Saladin. So how does "beautiful execution of story" make ANY sense? Just compare this to Last Wish or King's Fall, which DID have strong narratives. Beyond Light DOES have it's good moments in the story, even if it's very flawed. The lore pieces are genuinely excellent. Things like the Salvation's Grip mission and learning about Banshee's true identity and Elsie's connection with Ana were good, even great. But in regards to the raid itself, saying it's "unmatched in narrative" is just ridiculous.
@@Lardo137 Fair point for sure, I thought you were discrediting the entire post. The story connection could’ve been stronger without a doubt, only featuring one “interaction” between Atraks and Eramis. The lore pieces are very strong though as you say.
This now gives me PTSD. "Guys I need someone tailing me please." "Shoot (name of person) quick, quick, quick." "Alright Titan get ready to bubble down... WHY TF IS THERE!!!" This soundtrack is now engraved into my damn brain.
I absolutely love hearing this track during the final minutes of the raid. Maybe it's subconscious, but I feel like it gets louder and louder as Taniks' health bar gets lower. It's like a rally cry for the whole team.
To hear that at Taniks the Abomination while being capped to 1230 and you have juuuuuuuuuust barely enough DPS with the whole team min maxing...... Not gonna lie, the peak moment of my two decade long gaming career.
0:21 Can someone PLEASE tell me what this motif is called? like I hear this throughout the soundtracks. Forgive me if I'm dumb or something, but I just wanna know lol-
@@Gatita0318 even if he was, games are produced usually a year or two ahead of their scheduled release times, the score is probably already done. Now whether they release that one is still up in the air but they probably will sinvce its still under Bungie's rights.
@@FlowTides You're right. Salvatori already made his songs for the Final Shape. Also Skye Lewin is listed first when searching up who composed Look Within, which means he was the lead composer, not Salvatori. Salvatori aint the only composer on the team.
I still remember the night this expansion came out, I was going absolutely nuts at high school all day thinking about it. I worked my butt off to save up for a new Xbox because the new gen version of the game was coming out. Got home, downloaded this. Played the wheels off the game all night, was dead but happy at school the next day. Feels like yesterday and this came out in 2020 in my senior year. I’m nearly halfway through college in 2023. 3:21 just about making me cry dude
Well, Destiny main theme around 1:50 or so. Not sure where exactly but you can hear a damage phase somewhere there too. Got to be final raid boss. Edit: Found it. Damage phase around 4:05
Months later and I'm still coming back to listen to this. Limping through DSC on day one with an hour to spare I will never forget our run that got the clear. The subpar second damage phase was disappointing, but then the Traveler smiled upon us and those drums kicked in. My god the music swelled and it revitalized the rest of the run. The moment is burned into my memory and it will always bring a tear to my eye when I hear this song. Well fucking done to the composers on this kick ass sound track.
My team and I were blown away by this soundtrack when we started the encounter on day 1. I love the starting notes so much. Also, which soundtrack is the soundtrack for the third encounter? My fav encounter by far
Guardian: Elsie, good and bad news. Elsie: What's the good news. Guardian: We stopped the space station from exploding Europa. Elsie: Good to hear, so what's the bad news. Guardian: I got some unfinished business to tie up. *Again.* Taniks: *SCREAMS OF PURE WRATH*
I love the final few measures where the darkness theme places, ironically a bit lighter than normal with higher strings, chimes and bells rather than a low and menacing terror. Because you've mastered an aspect if the darkness and most likely using it when you fight taniks. You've learned to control the darkness, and you've begun to realize you have much less to fear than you thought.
"Deep Stone Crypt" Raid: Final Encounter "Taniks, the Abomination" 0:00 Beginning 0:21 Mechanics Phase 2 1:55 DPS Phase 2:22 Mechanics Phase 2 4:00 Final Stand 4:40 End
Something I've not heard many people mentioning, in Taniks' first appearance in the shadow thief strike, he calls us out, "in the ways of old," as Variks put it. Here, after thoroughly thwarting house salvation's plans and stopping Europa's destruction, *we* are the ones calling *him* out for what may well be our final duel with the undying mercenary.
When Taniks first calls us out in the ways of the old back in Shadow Thief, he did it by dropping a spider tank on us. This time, we called him out by dropping a space station on him Checks out
2nd comment: This music is amazing, a wonderful piece of art. I just find it saddening that many players after day 1 won't hear half of this song. The way bungie coded the music is so the actual song plays once you've done two damage phases and are preparing for a third. Before then, besides damage phases and final stand, it's just cool, suspenseful percussion. On day 1 this was incredible I'm sure, but when most teams one phase or two phase now that contest mode is off, most won't get to hear the full song in action. Wish bungie changed it, but they have much greater issues on their hands, so I'll be happy with what we got

Where did Taniks get 18 more thrusters?
Eramis’s lieutenants are salty Taniks got such a good theme.
The theme really has that "its now or never" feel to it. Really amazing work on the raid
Well I guess you get that when you need to
kill Taniks for the thousandth time
not really, i think we could of just left taniks there to rot, but this theme is more of the GUARDIAN's theme, tower music blaring. it doesnt sound like tanik's bossfight, it doesn't sound like taniks even had a theme at all, it sounds like taniks is the one who's trying to invade our turf, along with the unfinished business of D1 and us killing him 3 times for killing the old hunter vanguard
Ah, so this is the theme of Shaniks: the Abomination.
Taniks has no legs. He kneels before nothing because he lacks knees, owes allegiance to no gravity. He is a shank, and very good at being one. I have been watching him since Slayerage got to this encounter, yes? Now Taniks works against Worlds First, but not for long.
Dat shank dumpy doe

no, this is the theme of us kicking Taniks ass again, teaching him the lesson that you don't fuck with humanity. Or we'll drop a fucking space station on you.

I could argue this is one if not the best destiny tracks of all time.

Then, on top of all that, They perfectly blend in the D2 AND D1 themes for that final cherry on top.

Most epic fucking win ever.
Note: we tend to do raids completely blind and figure out how to understand them. If we can't beat the raid within 24 hours the first time, we study videos and maps of it to better understand, refine, and do again. This took 14 hours with no studying or beforehand prep.
Congrats!

Deep Stone Crypt breakdown:
Scene 1: Grand Entrance (Sparrow Racing and all).
Scene 2: Breaching the Deep Stone Crypt Entrance. We activate the Crypt AI, which warns us no to go further.
Scene 3: Grand Finale: Atraks-1 (the true raid boss). Crypt AI activates Nuclear Descent Protocol because we paid no attention to his warning. A new threat emerges: Europa's annihilation.
Scene 4: We stop the Nuclear Collision.Taniks is there watching us do our business completely unaware of what we're doing.
Scene 5: In the aftermath of an almost utter destruction, Taniks makes one Last Stand for revenge amidst the wreckage of the threat we stopped. This is our theme. We are the final boss.
So spot on.
Fun fact: after killing taniks, if you walk into his body and let him kill you. You hear him scream/laugh,
Theory 1: just a laugh from beyond the grave

Is it the raid music or the Eramis Boss Music
Bungie: Yes
XD
Bruh, Taniks fight music has so much more going on in it
It’s also taniks theme
Look within does not sound like fallen empire. They both hit different and are in different keys. Plus, look within has like three key changes
It really only plays during a small part of Eramis’s fight. Fallen Empire is more her music.
Destiny soundtrack never fails to be amazing
Getting to fight Taniks was actually a huge deal for me. I'm one of the people who has only been able to experience Destiny 2 due to a lack of owning a console when Destiny came out. After all the lore dives and stories from my friends, I was actually super excited to battle this legendary figure myself in proper fashion, instead of just fighting a nightmare version of him that didn't have nearly as much impact.
I know that feeling. I read a bunch of lore pertaining to him, especially about Andal Brask and Cayde, and knowing what this abomination has done, the pain he has caused my friends, it made his defeat that much sweeter...
He is one of the bosses the veterens ( me included ) have a grudge against ...he killed tevin ....the hunter vanguard before cayde ....plus he is the longest surviving boss from D1 ...so its unfinished buisness
I'm super interested in D1 as I never got to experience it. Getting to *actually* fight Taniks, instead of just looking at videos or reading lore about him, was legendary.

“show me what freedom has given you.”
“The only thing we have to break here is you.”
“Come then, pawn. Show me what freedom has given you!”
@@Aiso754 god that frase along with the rising tones gave me chills
It was a perfect scene. Not a clichéd, overdone example of Light vs Dark. The Light was gone, constrained by the Dark within as the purest expression of the Hive's Sword Logic was applied. "Come then. Show me what freedom has given you!" was the utterance of not just a challenge, but a promise that whoever won would have the right to exist. Gone are the ethereal chimes and light horn sections of the Light. We've gone beyond light. Beyond dark.
We've become the Final Shape, and where we walk the ground breaks.
Man Eramis was such a great villain I am really hoping to see more of her
One of my newbie friends who got a shotgun just before the fight:
"A SHOTGUN"
Taniks was such a badass in the raid. He tried to destroy Europa entirely with nuclear charges, crashed an entire space station, yet survived and decide to stand up again one last time to show how much he hates us and that he wants our guardians to be dead. Unfortunately for him, we were ready.
"and decided to stand up again" heh
It's especially good cuz Taniks is basically the overpowered anime protag going up against the insurmountable villains, if you look at it from his perspective.
0:00 As you land, dazed and confused you search the site for any signs of life. During this search you find the body of Taniks, welded to a shank bursting from the debris that fell.
0:22 The time has come for you and your fireteam to form a plan, hoping that this will get rid of this beast once and for all. You start throwing everything you have at him, soon after realizing there is the same nuclear technology from the ship shielding him.
1:01 You and your fireteam notice the same glyphs you found on the ship before it crashed. You already know how to use them, the problem lies in where they go.
1:15 The beast glows in an orange aura, giving off the same signature those nuclear cores did on the ship, only this time its focused on the craft the beast is set on. Realizing you can use that energy to your advantage, you focus fire on the four propeller like mechanisms jutting out from all four corners and small nuclear core falls out.
1:30 As soon as you pick up one of the cores, the warlock holding the scanner glyph noticed the same visions he saw on the ship. With this knowledge, you are directed to a familiar looking crate in which you store the item. Meanwhile the guardian who had Suppressor also saw a familiar sight, the same drone like machines aiming towards Taniks. With both teams working in tandem, the Operator would help guide and remove and traps the beast place upon the guardians.
3:01 As the time comes ever closer to defeat Taniks, the fireteam prepares and eliminates the rest of his defenses. Taniks waits, giving them a cold, dark stare
3:21 Now with the power of Light and Dark you send this beast spiraling into the abyss, ending the reign on Taniks forever. Sealing off the Deep Stone Crypt from the Fallen and leaving its secrets into your hands.
I love that description

I think I was more excited to hear this music during the raid race than who was actually winning, 1:55 for a DPS phase is so cool.
This is the final raid boss theme, perfect match for it too!
4:40 this part plays in my mind every time I complete an raid.
1:18 I can’t tell you how many times I have perfectly timed my 2 anarchy shots with this part during dps
I like that they remembered to slip 'Guardian' in at 2:07
2:07 Is a callback to the track called “Guardian” in Destiny 1. You hear those same notes as you’re being resurrected or the first time. Here, it sounds a lot different. I like to imagine that the drastic difference in the two pieces symbolizes our Guardian going from a fragile, confused New Light that can be one-shot by a Dreg to a monster killing demigod who can topple beings of godlike power.
Bungie, I know someone there reads these comments. I just wanted to let all of you know this raid was fantastic. A beautiful execution of story, exciting battles, decompression time after a brutal boss fight, and the narrative told in the raid itself is unmatched. The day one contest mode was the perfect challenge. Could not have asked for more from this raid
This is a joke, right? Sounds like you're just mindlessly praising Bungie for the sake of it.
@@Lardo137 Let people enjoy things, man.
@@Lardo137 What are you talking about? The raid was excellent.
@@nostop7794 I'm not saying this raid was terrible, and it's definitely the highlight of the season. And there were some parts that I found beautiful, like the spacewalk jumping puzzle, the music, and the set design. I just find OP's words to be rather hyperbolic.
I mean, what story was even there? Taniks is back with literally no explanation and he's the end boss. Atraks-1 has zero dialogue. There is literally no personal connection between the Guardians and who they're fighting. The whole story boils down to "the Fallen found some dangerous technology, let's stop them from doing evil things." It's basically an exact repeat of Rise of Iron's story with the House of Devils and SIVA, only without the Iron Lords and Saladin. So how does "beautiful execution of story" make ANY sense? Just compare this to Last Wish or King's Fall, which DID have strong narratives.
Beyond Light DOES have it's good moments in the story, even if it's very flawed. The lore pieces are genuinely excellent. Things like the Salvation's Grip mission and learning about Banshee's true identity and Elsie's connection with Ana were good, even great. But in regards to the raid itself, saying it's "unmatched in narrative" is just ridiculous.
@@Lardo137 Fair point for sure, I thought you were discrediting the entire post. The story connection could’ve been stronger without a doubt, only featuring one “interaction” between Atraks and Eramis. The lore pieces are very strong though as you say.

I still remember the night this expansion came out, I was going absolutely nuts at high school all day thinking about it. I worked my butt off to save up for a new Xbox because the new gen version of the game was coming out. Got home, downloaded this.

Months later and I'm still coming back to listen to this. Limping through DSC on day one with an hour to spare I will never forget our run that got the clear. The subpar second damage phase was disappointing, but then the Traveler smiled upon us and those drums kicked in. My god the music swelled and it revitalized the rest of the run. The moment is burned into my memory and it will always bring a tear to my eye when I hear this song.
Well fucking done to the composers on this kick ass sound track.
Just remember there is an alternate universe where a shank with no booster wheels is attached to taniks’ legs
*Taniks comes back*
Me (with my knowledge of spongebob memes): "how many times do we have to teach you this lesson"
even after 50 clears of this raid, this boss music will never fail to get me pumped while taniks is on final stand
The feels of this soundtrack at the end as we were finishing day with my team, gives me was amazing.
This soundtrack will be always me favorite of all time think you Michael Savtori for the memories I have with deestiny2
My team and I were blown away by this soundtrack when we started the encounter on day 1. I love the starting notes so much. Also, which soundtrack is the soundtrack for the third encounter? My fav encounter by far
essentially the taniks strike music from d1 but remixed a little, i’m sure it’s in the soundtrack somewhere
Yeah I wanna know the track for encounter 3 too. The way it gets more and more intense is incredible.
Guardian: Elsie, good and bad news.
Elsie: What's the good news.
Guardian: We stopped the space station from exploding Europa.
Elsie: Good to hear, so what's the bad news.
Guardian: I got some unfinished business to tie up. *Again.*
Taniks: *SCREAMS OF PURE WRATH*
As soon as 01:55 kicks in I just imagine 5 guardians dual-wielding slug shotguns and sixth sweating their ass of pressing the trigger on divinity
As the resident Divinity main of my raid group, I deliberately swap from controller to MnK during DPS so it's easier on my finger.
One of my alltime favorites, through out the entire destiny 2 soundtrack collection!
I love how in most of these tracks the darkness motif can be heard
I love the final few measures where the darkness theme places, ironically a bit lighter than normal with higher strings, chimes and bells rather than a low and menacing terror. Because you've mastered an aspect if the darkness and most likely using it when you fight taniks. You've learned to control the darkness, and you've begun to realize you have much less to fear than you thought.
This makes me cry its so beautiful
The music that plays once you defeat taniks is the best. It gives you the feeling that you did something legendary, something historical.

Something I've not heard many people mentioning, in Taniks' first appearance in the shadow thief strike, he calls us out, "in the ways of old," as Variks put it.
Here, after thoroughly thwarting house salvation's plans and stopping Europa's destruction, *we* are the ones calling *him* out for what may well be our final duel with the undying mercenary.
When Taniks first calls us out in the ways of the old back in Shadow Thief, he did it by dropping a spider tank on us.
This time, we called him out by dropping a space station on him
Checks out
2nd comment: This music is amazing, a wonderful piece of art. I just find it saddening that many players after day 1 won't hear half of this song. The way bungie coded the music is so the actual song plays once you've done two damage phases and are preparing for a third. Before then, besides damage phases and final stand, it's just cool, suspenseful percussion. On day 1 this was incredible I'm sure, but when most teams one phase or two phase now that contest mode is off, most won't get to hear the full song in action. Wish bungie changed it, but they have much greater issues on their hands, so I'll be happy with what we got
may be a very late reply but you can always just force a three phase by not doing damage at all (does not work in most lfgs)
1:49 - 2:17 just hits DIFFERENT. Makes you feel like you're about to destroy every fucking raid boss in the game. Lol
As soon as the DPS theme kicked in this was me in my head "I defeated you before,I WILL DO IT AGAIN!"
Able to pinpoint exactly when my raid team was shouting "DIV!!!" and I'll never recover from that
