Of all the 'Layer 4' themes people have made, this is the only one that captures the eldritch horror and alien nature of the Depths. It is not a place to be tamed. It is an all-consuming maw, the end of all things, and a domain for Drowned Gods. This track exudes that feeling- you are NOT supposed to be here.
I like to imagine layer 4 as one of those layers without a drowned god, just a empty barren place of dread you cant realistically come from without death
what if layer 4 is the interstice and the nestmind is its ruler, but its crumbling because the nestmind isnt a drowned god. but in a twist kind of like layer 2 since there is no drowned god to support the realm its suffering from time distortions, the nestmind is in an eternal prison and the only way for it to escape is to force someone or something to take its place, and the nestmind is the only one whos aware of the time distortions in there, as every time you escape layer 4 any memory of it becomes wiped clean. this would be a really cool way for them to make a layer that changes every time your down there so you can never truly learn any patterns or master it completely. Just an idea or cool theory i guess. I think what the nestmind shows you when you get visionshaper is only the entry point of the interstice, because once you go further theres no going back.
A cool layer 4 gimic if we're going with the "cave" theme would be the light. The light would hurt you or alert some sort of monster and you need to stay in the dark to be safe, but walk too far into the dark and the same happens with a different monster Basically you try to stay in balance with both of them and the panic of accidentally triggering one of the monsters without a light hook (which I assume you'll get) is probably really terrifying. You'd either run and trigger more monsters making it even more hopeless or stay cool and navigate through the dark
Because we dont know anything, we will never know anything and nobody will learn of the tragedy if they cannot make it back up in one piece, with their sanity intact and their mental state sufficent

man itd be cool if you have to wipe your character to go to layer 4 like so your in the depths and you find a weird person in one of the buildings of the depths sitting there saying OH AFTERLIFE I KNOW IT EXSITS over and over getting more insane then finally his head explodes and you see he dropped a note you pick up the note and it tells you to speak to yuh shul and say i know it exists the after life its there ive seen it before then you make your way to yuh shul(have to have a bell) and say that to him and then boom your head explodes and you go to the fragments of self like normal but now if you speak to captain he'll see that you remember your past lives and remember this place thats when he'll take you to layer 4
personally my concept for layer 4 would be: "THE ETERNAL SUNSET: PART 1" the surface of the fourth layer is an eternal territorial war between two races, fighting for the rule over the island. the entire island is just in shambles from the neverending war. both sides are devastated, but refuse to stop the fight. all this death and destruction for what purpose? the player can help settle a side, one side bringing the entire layer into the night forever, and another side bringing it into light and day. though ending the war is near impossible for such a weak mind like the player. the best option is to stay neutral, and the war to stay eternally, as to not risk your life and instead let a higher power do it (it will never happen) the second part, i'd say similar to what the songs depict. "PART 2: THE SHADOW UNDERWORLD" (after choosing a side, here you are.) the truth of the war is revealed, the bloodshed of the island above the underworld is used to harvest pain and suffering of the individuals, to increase the power of the drowned god of shadow, arachnis. the shadow underworld is a huge maze of a cave filled with the souls of the foregone. rather aggresive, the foregone are basically forced to fight for a "chance" at revival, never happening. at the end stands a mysterious being, mostly human-like with 4 spider legs from behind, there stands the drowned god, waiting for your arrival. you have a conversation, discussing the truth of the god's plan. arachnis wishes to backstab the drowned gods after becoming the most powerful via harnessing death itself. but he is scared of eternal punishment from them, and he's running out of souls in his own layer. he offers you a deal. join his side, and sware by oath as much death as possible, or refuse, and die. the oath, "condemnations right hand", has 3 shadow-flame mantras that turn shadowcast into psuedo-flamecharm. you progress it by collecting soul orbs (the ones that used to give luck) i've had this concept for a while, just wanted to give it out. i've also been making a comic series based on deepwoken and it's depths, where the main character, a visionshaper, explores layers 1-4, at the end of layer 4 succumbing to his mind being swallowed whole by the nestmind. though nobody will probably be able to see it, maybe one day i can actually make it in full swing, who knows?
When the sky, the ground, the air around you. Devastation. You'll have things darken to you. Your face a blackened shadow with grayish fading from it in horror. No more blue sweats of cold. Only horror. The sounds disregarded in the land above this place speak. Louder than a foot's tread. Like earth crowding upon you but never advancing and only pulsating itself. In proximity it breaks and rises They love how the coarse iron, ore shakes. While we may see a sight when atop the world. The world blinds us to the worlds below. After an ashen hellscape, did you think further? No, if only. Deeper down, here deeper we are. If only we knew this is it. Sharksbro is amazing.
this is a really cool song shardbow fluffy

this is definetly the best fanmade ost yet
"Piercing Drops" was better imo
Tho only saying that because part of this feels a bit too similar to the void sea music
When The Embers Calm supremacy
Agony’s domain supremacy ngl
On god, we coming out of [placeholder place meme] with this 🔥🔥🔥
dear divers, always keep a bottle of pain killers on you at all times stay safe 🗣
we making it out of the seismic hollows with this one 🔥🔥🔥
AYOOOO
ngl i feel like this place should have permanent tolls on your character each time you leave

no hook please we dont need more dungeon layers we need layer 3 to be open world
@@nutofwisdom791 ong I hate how layer 2 is literally just a dungeon crawler
actually the gimmick is called agony, pretty much the more damage you take the harder it is to regen it and the harder it is to exist,
No I showed this to the others and they said your cooking was horrible.
Nah bro light hook can barely reach layer 3 and ur talking about layer 4 now bro 😭
what are we supposed to know, my man
We will never know...
I have a feeling you do
Dude your music is always breathtaking! Keep up the amazing work!
nice, you finally released it
Edit: Project fun you should join too
Bro is printing out bangers nonstop!! are you a machine!!

this one’s sanity must’ve crumbled.

how I feel after falling into layer 2 with a lvl 19 (ive never been to layer 2) and getting wiped
Absolute W
star this man
Holy shit is that THE Ggnomelord? I am such a huge fan.
Yes...this is what we need.
thats great shardbow
man itd be cool if you have to wipe your character to go to layer 4 like so your in the depths and you find a weird person in one of the buildings of the depths sitting there saying OH AFTERLIFE I KNOW IT EXSITS over and over getting more insane then finally his head explodes and you see he dropped a note you pick up the note and it tells you to speak to yuh shul and say i know it exists the after life its there ive seen it before then you make your way to yuh shul(have to have a bell) and say that to him and then boom your head explodes and you go to the fragments of self like normal but now if you speak to captain he'll see that you remember your past lives and remember this place thats when he'll take you to layer 4
I love shartbows music its so fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
personally my concept for layer 4 would be:
"THE ETERNAL SUNSET: PART 1"
the surface of the fourth layer is an eternal territorial war between two races, fighting for the rule over the island. the entire island is just in shambles from the neverending war.
both sides are devastated, but refuse to stop the fight. all this death and destruction for what purpose?
the player can help settle a side, one side bringing the entire layer into the night forever, and another side bringing it into light and day. though ending the war is near impossible for such a weak mind like the player.
the best option is to stay neutral, and the war to stay eternally, as to not risk your life and instead let a higher power do it (it will never happen)
the second part, i'd say similar to what the songs depict.
"PART 2: THE SHADOW UNDERWORLD"
(after choosing a side, here you are.)
the truth of the war is revealed, the bloodshed of the island above the underworld is used to harvest pain and suffering of the individuals, to increase the power of the drowned god of shadow, arachnis. the shadow underworld is a huge maze of a cave filled with the souls of the foregone. rather aggresive, the foregone are basically forced to fight for a "chance" at revival, never happening.
at the end stands a mysterious being, mostly human-like with 4 spider legs from behind, there stands the drowned god, waiting for your arrival. you have a conversation, discussing the truth of the god's plan. arachnis wishes to backstab the drowned gods after becoming the most powerful via harnessing death itself. but he is scared of eternal punishment from them, and he's running out of souls in his own layer.
he offers you a deal. join his side, and sware by oath as much death as possible, or refuse, and die.
the oath, "condemnations right hand", has 3 shadow-flame mantras that turn shadowcast into psuedo-flamecharm.
you progress it by collecting soul orbs (the ones that used to give luck)
i've had this concept for a while, just wanted to give it out. i've also been making a comic series based on deepwoken and it's depths, where the main character, a visionshaper, explores layers 1-4, at the end of layer 4 succumbing to his mind being swallowed whole by the nestmind. though nobody will probably be able to see it, maybe one day i can actually make it in full swing, who knows?
W cooking
so like, lore game?
@@vampyreanz never played it, can you explain the lore of the lore game
nooo not another 3 star shadow mantra
tbh i think it would be cool if we knew
This makes me want to make a shard bow archer build
Ooo, spooky
description is kinda fire wtf
Do you know where I can view other things about this project? I love the idea of layer 4 you've made ost's for
We… We aren’t making it out of Mach Point, are we?
What if the boss wasn't a drowned god. Just ppl from lost celtor or ministry gone mad and becomming these mangled pieces of chain and flesh
what do u use to make these
umm guys i think he knew it
do they know?
i knew it
🐧🐧
Avengers type beat
When the sky, the ground, the air around you. Devastation.

Not on par with naktigonis but pretty damn close. Good job.
