Imagine after like 6-7 years, in the very last chapter of HSR the crew faces the final boss and this song starts playing again, I’d literally pass out and just start crying
@@obihz2415 bro It's only started Just like honkai and genshin story is simple and good Wait for some patches later U will see the true nature of honkai
@@yo-ss9wjnot gonna lie HSR is my favorite in term of early story out of all gacha game that I played ( not necessarily the best in term of overall story yet, but you get my point)
The way i ended this fight made this slap 7 times harder Literally 1% on Cocolia, 2 hp on mc, everyone in the party dead, and used ult at the drop It felt fucking awesome
Not too far from what I had, I had Natasha at less than 100 and my only dps was perseveration March, I just kept a cycle of March ulting then preserving Natasha while she healed, it took FOREVER
My party was dropping one by one and eventually it just became a slugfest between MC and the boss, just taking turns beating the shit out of each other I got the boss to 12% and MC was one hit from death but I got the ult off at the beat drop as well which also charged the giant mech and was enough to end her I agree, that shit was immaculate
As a pure Genshin player, I now understand why Honkai players say why their vocal tracks are insane. 1:42 had no reason to go that hard and the way they synced the beat drop to hit right when Cocolia used her burst.. Just wow.
how a game can go from bullying me for rooting around in the trash, to giving me one of the most epic cinematic fights ive ever had in a video game is insane
as someone who immensely enjoyed genshin and had similar expectations when starting hsr, i gotta say, it didn't meet my expectations. It went way beyond it.
This was the first boss in a while to make me feel nervous before it. I had that "I'm not sure if I'm ready" moment before facing her that made me check everything and use consumables. It really feels like the final battle for the fate of the world. And this is only the beginning. Incredible.
Meanwhile I was like: ok, its gonna be a big fight, better do it later A day later: FCK THERES NOTHING ELSE TO BE DONE AND I NEED TO REACH TB35, BETTER KICK HER ASS
She litteraly killed my whole team only my traiblazer remained alive in the last second it was truly like an anime moment where the allies fall and the mc is the one who will deal the last blow on the enemy
This song makes me feel like you're climbing a tall mountain. The cold wind is blowing so violently and you're barely holding on but there's something inside you telling you to keep climbing, to make it to the top. Absolutely amazing song for the first major boss in the game.
1:42 Legit goosebumps, the fact it felt like it was our theme and not Cocolias really shows how special that moment was, legit pulled a "I'm favored by the gods and you're not" on her
It definitely was meant to be our (and Bronya, Seele, and the rest’s) because Wildfire was the name of the rebel Underworld group trying to survive despite Cocolia locking them down there
Ulting with Trailblazer on the bass drop has been recorded to lead to seizures, blindness, strained necks, and bruised brains due to excessive headbanging. If you or a loved one has experienced such an epic moment, contact MiHoyo and tell them "WE WANT MORE!"
ua-cam.com/video/Rg3I0dJn2C0/v-deo.html You can’t get any more dramatic than a last one standing Fire MC vs Cocolia showdown. With a synced drop as well.
@@Bonkezz I don't think it was an accident, they intentionally put the drop on certain action in the fight, very good way to utilize turn based gameplay!
1:42 That ult drop into the vocals playing was a straight power move from Hoyo. These people never miss with the themes man. They just know how to elevate the atmosphere of a battle so well.
Agreed 100%.. Elysia's boss fight is beautiful and Kevin's boss fight is adrenaline pumping, but THIS....this is on different level, Honkai animated short level
It's pure dopamine hit when Gepard says his line during the silent moment in the song at 0:36 and then raises his arm and summons the giant ice wall as the beat drops.
Yeah I liked the song a lot just was so loud during story boss fight, to where I couldn’t hear anything the characters were saying. If wasn’t for subtitles I wouldn’t have had any idea what they were saying
This song when I fought Cocolia, gave me the same energy as "Fly Octo Fly!" gave me in Splatoon 2 when I fought the dlc's final "battle". By that I mean, a strong music for the final battle of that storyline, that gives me the energy, the willpower strength, the desire, to press on and finish this. Unlike in Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion though, I did not lose like a billion times in the battle in Honkai Star Rail. I beat it first try. The deus ex machina really helped fighting her though, since I had no fire element character in my active party
As a FFXIV player let me just say good tracks with vocals are how you drive a fan base crazy. Soken and the rest of the music team on XIV are insane, and hopefully Star Rail keeps this stuff up for the big moments.
Yeah this shit is creme de la creme of hypinh up your audiance with just the music. Just make a great boss fight and add themr with guitar + vocals and ppl are gonna be creaming their pants I sure will I instantly made a ffxiv comparision
As a FFXIV player, I agree wholeheartedly. I LOVE Soken and his team. Half of FFXIV’s awesomeness comes from the sick tracks and I love all of it! I immediately thought of FFXIV when the vocals cut in, was timed perfectly to the final phase transition, and sooo good at that! A game can easily hook me If the tracks are bangers. Now that they pulled that off, Im expecting to see more musical gems like this from now on!
As a Honkai Impact player, you don't realize how crazy good the music technicians are in Hoyo-mix. They are insane people who can make Honkai players cry by command just by playing certain songs.

Pain will come with the blade Pain will wake up the despondent crowd In this dormant world somehow Unsheathe a sword not to kill Unsheathe a sword to rend those clouds above the ground Wake up, it's time to gather now [Bridge] Forget about the rules Written on weathered rock There were chasers of light Find the way or get lost We have no way to know Where they all headed for See the light from afar Just blaze through the thorns We know it's right over there We have something to declare Whatever is arriving, we'll be prepared [Chorus] We've made a choice, go fight against your fate! Pain will come with the blade Pain will wake up the despondent crowd In this dormant world somehow Unsheathe a sword not to kill Unsheathe a sword to rend those clouds above the ground Wake up to hear the cheering sound
it can be surprising if you finished honkai, went and played Genshin after so long; 2-3 yrs of genshin? then head back to how Honkai runs their lore writing. it's a wild rollercoaster
This song was a major surprise in the fight. The cutscene before was already amazing. In the first phase you feel the struggle and desperation. But in the second phase when the vocals start, you also start your comeback, more powerful, determined and heroic.
Fighting this boss with March/Dan Heng, Bronya and Seele on your side felt like the climax of the story came together as they intended. Word cannot describe the intensity and epicness of this fight. Like, your character just survived a fatal shot, recieved a brand new weapon and skill, and the rest of story accurate character came to aid you.
Yeah the pulls did not let me have that moment, I went in with Natasha, Hook, and Asta. On a side note Asta’s ultimate synced up with this music is like genuinely beautiful!
Glad to see that TetraCalyx is involved with this. She always made absolute banger hits for Honkai Impact. Knowing that she had a hand in this tells me that there is tons more waiting in store for HSR. From us Captains to you Trailblazers, you are in good hands!!
They really went full on JRPG with this boss fight, huh? Actually, no. They went BEYOND, and just straight up induced the feeling you get when anime opening played at the climax of last episode, in other words? Fucking insane!
Nah not completely beyond, there are plenty of JRPG's with boss fights of this caliber and even beyond (cough cough the entire Xenoblade Chronicles series cough cough, Persona 5 cough cough)
@@ThePandafriend This is genuinely something that only turn-based games like this can achieve! You can create literal visual work of arts thanks to camera framing and vfx. In action games, the camera must follow your movements, here they can literally go nuts with visual content and make everything as epic as they want.
(my attempt at the lyrics for the song) Wrapped in biting wind Hearts will never bleed Frozen and banished Out of grief In their restless dreams They try so hard to breathe Pulses flutter and sting Within this bleakness Pain will come with the blade Pain will wake up the despondent crowd In this dormant world somehow Unsheathe the sword not to kill Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground Wake up, It's time to gather now The only warmth remains In hands clasped so tight The only fire exists In brave hearts Seasons that refuse to change over the years Will find their way back Back on track We made a choice go fight against your fate Pain will come with the blade Pain will wake up the despondent crowd In this dormant world somehow Unsheathe the sword not to kill Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground Wake up, It's time to gather now Forget about the rules Written on weathered rock There were chasers of light find the way or get lost We have no way to know where they all headed for See a light from afar Just blaze through the thorns We know it's right over there We have something to declare Whatever is arriving, we'll be prepared We made a choice go fight against your fate Pain will come with the blade Pain will wake up the despondent crowd In this dormant world somehow Unsheathe the sword not to kill Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground Wake up to hear the cheering sound
Listened to it myself and made some corrections. Still not sure about the last line: Wrapped in biting wind Hearts will never bleed Frozen and banished Out of grief In their restless dreams They try so hard to breathe Pulses flutter and sting Within this bleakness They will come with the flame They will wake up the despondent crowd in this dormant world somehow Unsheathe the sword not to kill Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground Wake up, It's time to gather now The only warmth exists In hands clasped so tight The only fire exists In brave hearts Seasons that refuse to change over the years We'll find the way back Back on track We made a choice go fight against your fate They will come with the flame They will wake up the despondent crowd in this dormant world somehow Unsheathe the sword not to kill Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground Wake up, It's time to gather now Forget about the rules Written down where they rot Within mazes of life Find your way don't get lost We have no way to know where they are heading for See the light from afar Just blaze through the floors We know it's right over there Something isn't fair Whatever is arriving we'll be prepared We made a choice go fight against your fate They will come with the flame They will wake up the despondent crowd in this dormant world somehow Unsheathe the sword not to kill Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground Wake up to hear the cheering sound
Having listened to this a few times alongside your lyrics, I'm fairly sure its "despondent crowd", "the only want remains" and "the floor". I'm also not sure I'm hearing "there were exchanges of life", but not quite sure what - the last word sounds more like "grind" or "game" to me, but it's a bit hard to fit the rest of the line around it (unless you allow for engrish like "they were changed your game", but given that the rest of the song is rather well put together, that's unlikely).
Yes, it did have to go that hard. There were so many HI3 references, from Cocolia looking like a fusion dance between the Herrschers of Void and Ice, to that giant shard she dropped on us looking exactly like what Kevin used to seal and then destroy Durandal's giant lance during their duel.
Gacha games have to go this hard nowadays. Fancy art can't draw attention. You need something special. Arknights gameplay is special, but what keeps people spreading its name around is massively due to the osts. Genshin has the fame it has because of open world, that alone makes people interested. Most other gachas aren't giga popular despite having good art or gameplay either, even if they have massively generous rates. Good osts is one of the best ways to spread the name.
1:42 just slaps you with just how epic this song really is. Especially during the boss fight where I actually rose from my chair from shock. Although it will slap you from beginning to the end.
oh man, u guys have no idea how hyped i got when this song just dropped while i was battling Cocolia. Being immersed to the storyline made it even better for me. Then I did everything to time my attacks with every beat of the song to make it seem like an anime final boss battle when i did it again to farm materials lmfao.
TETRACALYX DOESN’T DISAPPOINT WITH LYRICS. This battle gave me goosebumps, especially as a HI3 player. Seeing Bronya & Cocolia’s dynamic in this universe felt so insane & this battle was done beautifully for it. The conclusion to the Belobog arc was bittersweet, which I honestly love. This theme gives me so many chills, reminds me of befall in that aspect, no idea why though.
HOLY CRAP THE MOMENT THIS STARTED PLAYING MY BODY FROZE I FORGOT I WAS PLAYING A GAME AND CHILLS WENT THROUGH MY BODY AND THEN MY BP ROSE THIS WAS EXCELLENT I NEVER THOUGHT A BOSS BATTLE COULD HAVE THIS KINDA MUSIC
Not gonna lie, I was genuinely surprised of how hard the whole HSR soundtrack slaps, but when it came to this song and the drop on the burst, oh my god.
I can't believe it's already been a year since this game came out Hearing this is so nostalgic, I'll cherish the memories from playing Star Rail forever
for games, one of the most important thing for me is their ost/soundtracks. especially at boss battles... if it can give us goosebubmps, if it can makes us live that boss fight like we were there, then this makes that game is very good
I had to look for this song after finishing the boss battle. That was amazing, I didn't expect HSL to go so hard. I went in and tried the game blindly and had so much fun so far. I love it.
Who knew they'd blow us away with the first real boss fight. Anyone who makes it this far, is sure to stick around for the rest of the ride. Absolute banger. Top-level execution from Hoyo. Excited to see what else is in store :')
"Lance ablaze... Lance, Forward!!" God I love hoyoverse music with lyrics, I'm kinda glad I finished up Honkai Impacts story before the game released. This game is damn amazing
@@Entsafterle Perhaps, but the Honkai Team are really good at tugging the heartstrings compared to the Genshin Team. I'll never forgive them for breaking my heart in two with Honkai Impact. ;n; And now they came out swinging with the FIRST PLANET.
@@novasiri7809 TBH, I have yet to find a backstory as sad and good as Wanderer or even something comparable to Nahida/Rukkha in HSR but it's just the beginning so maybe later.
Right!? I have been playing since the 90's and while I'm still iffy on the battle system, the production values and music are insane. They do a great job at setting up this epic climax.
Wow when it synced on boss/my burst I lost. It was so such an anime boss fight I fell in love. I know HI3 has similar moments and after experiencing Starrail has me wanting to get back into HI3
This is how you do boss music. Make it impactful and let us hear the lyrics along with the instrumental. This is some DMC level styling on Mihoyo’s part. Just hype af.
i wish play again Star Rail like that first time. This song has a very precious place for me, it was a game that helped me too much to stand out from my worst moment, even though right now I am back, I It made me very happy to have some free time just to play. I can't believe that next year I'll be playing for two years and I'll never regret having downloaded it.
TetraCalyx always hit with the lyrics, accompanied by Gon's banger composition and Jonathan Steingard's powerful vocals. This is only the end of the Opening Act and I can't wait to see more! May our journey lead us starward, Trailblazers!
I still remember playing through the story as it released, the moment the first boss went this hard i knew. This team wasnt playing, and HSR would be my favorite gacha. It still is. God i love this game.
The hype is real when the battle start, and then the protagonist power up is actually useful in the battle not just a temporary power up that only appear in cutscene which actually make me smile 😊
When i fought cocolia (which wasnt that long ago bc i only started playing hsr again after like.. more than a year and i was low trailblaze level and low in story) i was actually hyped. ITS SO DAMN GOOD!😍
When the drop happened during Cocolias burst attack my jaw literally dropped, it was such a perfect place to put the drop in cause if you lived this attack you most certainly win, just tearing her down from this throne of madness and false promises. It was even better cause I had delayed the attack due to engine of creation massively helping weakness breaking her on the 1st charge. So when it went through I didnt expect the entire feel of the fight to change THIS drastically

Well, we DID save a world. XD
It's a final boss for jarilo people.

Strangely accurate 💀
Makes sense. They're completely different games with different settings so
that so fking accurate

Wildfire Lyrics (Thanks to Genius Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Wrapped in biting wind
Hearts will never bleed
Frozen and banished
Out of grief
In their restless dreams
They try so hard to breathe
Pulses flutter and sting
Within this bleakness
(Ah, ah)
[Chorus]
Pain will come with the blade
Pain will wake up the despondent crowd
In this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe a sword not to kill
Unsheathe a sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up, it's time to gather now
[Verse 2]
The only warmth remains
In hands clasped so tight
The only fire exists
In brave hearts
Seasons that refuse
To change over the years
Will find their way back
Back on track
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
We've made a choice, go fight against your fate!
Pain will come with the blade
Pain will wake up the despondent crowd
In this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe a sword not to kill
Unsheathe a sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up, it's time to gather now
[Bridge]
Forget about the rules
Written on weathered rock
There were chasers of light
Find the way or get lost
We have no way to know
Where they all headed for
See the light from afar
Just blaze through the thorns
We know it's right over there
We have something to declare
Whatever is arriving, we'll be prepared
[Chorus]
We've made a choice, go fight against your fate!
Pain will come with the blade
Pain will wake up the despondent crowd
In this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe a sword not to kill
Unsheathe a sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up to hear the cheering sound
This song hits even harder if you saw the picture on the lightcone "we are wildfire"
Nothing to be surprised,im used to see the honkai team always shining in everything,vocal songs,boss fights,lore,just pure passion.
it can be surprising if you finished honkai, went and played Genshin after so long; 2-3 yrs of genshin? then head back to how Honkai runs their lore writing. it's a wild rollercoaster
Yeah the honkai team is absolutely cracked like damn bro what the hell did you smoking before making these boss fights
there's no vocal tracks in Honkai's boss battles in main story, only in animation shorts and APHO so it's a fresh experience for Honkai players too
Hi3 has different team from star rail lol
@@nknown3982 then explain why TetraCalyx is in lyricist for HSR (she usually a lyricist in HI3rd) (and kiana kaslana VA in honkai gakuen(ggz))
This song was a major surprise in the fight. The cutscene before was already amazing. In the first phase you feel the struggle and desperation. But in the second phase when the vocals start, you also start your comeback, more powerful, determined and heroic.
THE DROP IS INSANE IT BROUGHT ME FLASHBACKS TO MGR.
For some reasons it reminds me Truth of Nature from mgr, lol
@@crisp4280 you mean rules of nature right
@@jewjitsu7159 yea, i do, i just forgor its name
So it wasn't only me 🤣 remind me of MGR too!
@@crisp4280 or the stains of time lmao.
Just came from completing this battle. Hsr is a piece of masterpiece, absolutely deserved all the awards it got.
Fighting this boss with March/Dan Heng, Bronya and Seele on your side felt like the climax of the story came together as they intended. Word cannot describe the intensity and epicness of this fight.
Like, your character just survived a fatal shot, recieved a brand new weapon and skill, and the rest of story accurate character came to aid you.
I wanted to do this, but not having unlocked Seele meant I had to use a mahjong player instead.
@@MarioKongasame, too bad she wasn't very useful because it's too RNG, she's still great though
Preservation in the boss: good
Preservation in the other fights: absolute dogshit
@@MarioKongalmao a mahjong player 😂
Yeah the pulls did not let me have that moment, I went in with Natasha, Hook, and Asta.
On a side note Asta’s ultimate synced up with this music is like genuinely beautiful!
Glad to see that TetraCalyx is involved with this. She always made absolute banger hits for Honkai Impact. Knowing that she had a hand in this tells me that there is tons more waiting in store for HSR.
From us Captains to you Trailblazers, you are in good hands!!
Honkay 3rd and Houkai Gouken 2!!!
As a fellow Captain, I second this sentiment!
Ya her lyrics are always on point. Gon made the melody though, so I also give him lots of credit for that
I am waiting for everyone to finish the first story quest and come to this song after the insane goosebumps it gave
They really went full on JRPG with this boss fight, huh? Actually, no. They went BEYOND, and just straight up induced the feeling you get when anime opening played at the climax of last episode, in other words? Fucking insane!
It was like watching an epic anime fight
Nah not completely beyond, there are plenty of JRPG's with boss fights of this caliber and even beyond (cough cough the entire Xenoblade Chronicles series cough cough, Persona 5 cough cough)
@@TheBoltMaster456👌👌Xenoblade
Yeah im playing Xenoblade 3 rn and, while i enjoyed the Cocolia fight, it really doesn't come close to the hype levels of Xenoblade's boss fights imo.
@@foras592 second Moebius fight freaking crazy
SORRY COCOLIA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THIS SICK MUSIC!
YEA COCOLIA STOP YAPPING SO I CAN HEAR THE EPIC MUSIC
This hit harder than my dad belt
I wasn't expecting this banger when fighting cocolia, felt like I'm in an action film during the entire battle.
And the insane thing is: It's still a turn based game!
But due to the visuals and music this boss fight gives the illusion of tension.
@@ThePandafriend When this track played the fight suddenly felt like a rush. Absolutely amazing feeling to have in a turn-based fight.
It is now my cabin theme, and will remain so until the next theme made of pure awesomium.
turn on auto fight and enjoy :)
@@ThePandafriend This is genuinely something that only turn-based games like this can achieve! You can create literal visual work of arts thanks to camera framing and vfx. In action games, the camera must follow your movements, here they can literally go nuts with visual content and make everything as epic as they want.
Honestly one of the best Boss Fight Songs ever! Thanks for the Upload cant wait to listen to this Banger on repeat!
(my attempt at the lyrics for the song)
Wrapped in biting wind
Hearts will never bleed
Frozen and banished
Out of grief
In their restless dreams
They try so hard to breathe
Pulses flutter and sting
Within this bleakness
Pain will come with the blade
Pain will wake up the despondent crowd
In this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe the sword not to kill
Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up, It's time to gather now
The only warmth remains
In hands clasped so tight
The only fire exists
In brave hearts
Seasons that refuse to change over the years
Will find their way back
Back on track
We made a choice go fight against your fate
Pain will come with the blade
Pain will wake up the despondent crowd
In this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe the sword not to kill
Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up, It's time to gather now
Forget about the rules
Written on weathered rock
There were chasers of light
find the way or get lost
We have no way to know where they all headed for
See a light from afar
Just blaze through the thorns
We know it's right over there
We have something to declare
Whatever is arriving, we'll be prepared
We made a choice go fight against your fate
Pain will come with the blade
Pain will wake up the despondent crowd
In this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe the sword not to kill
Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up to hear the cheering sound
Listened to it myself and made some corrections. Still not sure about the last line:
Wrapped in biting wind
Hearts will never bleed
Frozen and banished
Out of grief
In their restless dreams
They try so hard to breathe
Pulses flutter and sting
Within this bleakness
They will come with the flame
They will wake up the despondent crowd in this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe the sword not to kill
Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up, It's time to gather now
The only warmth exists
In hands clasped so tight
The only fire exists
In brave hearts
Seasons that refuse
to change over the years
We'll find the way back

They will wake up the despondent crowd in this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe the sword not to kill
Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up, It's time to gather now
Forget about the rules
Written down where they rot
Within mazes of life
Find your way don't get lost
We have no way to know where they are heading for
See the light from afar
Just blaze through the floors
We know it's right over there
Something isn't fair
Whatever is arriving we'll be prepared

They will come with the flame
They will wake up the despondent crowd in this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe the sword not to kill
Unsheathe the sword to rend those clouds above the ground

I might be wrong but listening carefully I think it might be “Unsheath the sword…” not “I choose the sword…” or “i’ll teach the sword…”
@@ajwott Good catch. Updated my comment above
Having listened to this a few times alongside your lyrics, I'm fairly sure its "despondent crowd", "the only want remains" and "the floor". I'm also not sure I'm hearing "there were exchanges of life", but not quite sure what - the last word sounds more like "grind" or "game" to me, but it's a bit hard to fit the rest of the line around it (unless you allow for engrish like "they were changed your game", but given that the rest of the song is rather well put together, that's unlikely).
@@jaen42 aaaa thank you so much for the help! Appreciate it a lot
I hope every region's boss has a banger song like this. Pure Epicness.
WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE ETERNAL FREEZE WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
They didn't have to go this hard
Boy am i glad they did
Dropped harder than Cocolia's ult on my Asta 🔥
They didn't have to go this hard for the first story arc boss. But they did.
Yes, it did have to go that hard. There were so many HI3 references, from Cocolia looking like a fusion dance between the Herrschers of Void and Ice, to that giant shard she dropped on us looking exactly like what Kevin used to seal and then destroy Durandal's giant lance during their duel.
Gacha games have to go this hard nowadays. Fancy art can't draw attention. You need something special.
Arknights gameplay is special, but what keeps people spreading its name around is massively due to the osts.
Genshin has the fame it has because of open world, that alone makes people interested.
Most other gachas aren't giga popular despite having good art or gameplay either, even if they have massively generous rates.
Good osts is one of the best ways to spread the name.
Even for the most mundane of things, Mihoyoverse is the type to be willingly over budget on music department like Mona's spending habits
Probably the best paced boss music I've ever heard. Perfectly layered, and executed.
1:42 just slaps you with just how epic this song really is. Especially during the boss fight where I actually rose from my chair from shock. Although it will slap you from beginning to the end.
oh man, u guys have no idea how hyped i got when this song just dropped while i was battling Cocolia. Being immersed to the storyline made it even better for me. Then I did everything to time my attacks with every beat of the song to make it seem like an anime final boss battle when i did it again to farm materials lmfao.
TETRACALYX DOESN’T DISAPPOINT WITH LYRICS.
This battle gave me goosebumps, especially as a HI3 player. Seeing Bronya & Cocolia’s dynamic in this universe felt so insane & this battle was done beautifully for it. The conclusion to the Belobog arc was bittersweet, which I honestly love. This theme gives me so many chills, reminds me of befall in that aspect, no idea why though.
カカリア戦終った後
あぁこの曲最後まで神曲って
言い続けるんだろうなぁって
思った、、マジで最高
HOLY CRAP THE MOMENT THIS STARTED PLAYING MY BODY FROZE I FORGOT I WAS PLAYING A GAME AND CHILLS WENT THROUGH MY BODY AND THEN MY BP ROSE THIS WAS EXCELLENT I NEVER THOUGHT A BOSS BATTLE COULD HAVE THIS KINDA MUSIC
bro same
"chills" 🤣🤣
Bro got goosebumps
Not gonna lie, I was genuinely surprised of how hard the whole HSR soundtrack slaps, but when it came to this song and the drop on the burst, oh my god.
It's been 1 year. Still hit hard.
I can't believe it's already been a year since this game came out
Hearing this is so nostalgic, I'll cherish the memories from playing Star Rail forever
for games, one of the most important thing for me is their ost/soundtracks. especially at boss battles... if it can give us goosebubmps, if it can makes us live that boss fight like we were there, then this makes that game is very good
I had to look for this song after finishing the boss battle. That was amazing, I didn't expect HSL to go so hard. I went in and tried the game blindly and had so much fun so far. I love it.
Who knew they'd blow us away with the first real boss fight. Anyone who makes it this far, is sure to stick around for the rest of the ride. Absolute banger. Top-level execution from Hoyo. Excited to see what else is in store :')
Как же удачно трек для боссфайта подобрали, у меня до сих пор мурашки, хоть и раз шесть уже прошёл Коколию))
Я её в первый раз еле побил, у меня весь отряд лёг кроме Стеллы. У неё хп оставалось на один удар 😊😊😊
@@Андрей-р7э1з А ещё через файт начинаешь больше уважать ГГ.
Just finished boss battle and I wasn't prepared for THAT! What a song!
I wish I could experience this for the first time all over again, left me absolutely speechless
"Lance ablaze... Lance, Forward!!"
God I love hoyoverse music with lyrics, I'm kinda glad I finished up Honkai Impacts story before the game released. This game is damn amazing
Didn’t expect this banger while fighting the boss.
1:43 This specific song make me turn from f2p to low spender. It's so good I get all the flashback from all the JRPG I've had played.
Just beat Cocolia. My word this made it so much better. The hype was real
God, I just finished the Cocolia battle and I just know by then end of this game, I’m going to be sobbing just like Honkai impact
Genshin players walking into this.. thinking their game had some moments or 'feels'.
Honkai Team: -loading the heartbreak canons- Haha.. bet.
@@novasiri7809 Well, tbh, Nahida & Rukhadevata live up to it, but not much else.
@@Entsafterle Perhaps, but the Honkai Team are really good at tugging the heartstrings compared to the Genshin Team. I'll never forgive them for breaking my heart in two with Honkai Impact. ;n;
And now they came out swinging with the FIRST PLANET.
@@novasiri7809 Eh. I'd say Genshin is great at tugging heart strings. Honkai fucking pulls them out and moves the heart with bare hands.
@@novasiri7809 TBH, I have yet to find a backstory as sad and good as Wanderer or even something comparable to Nahida/Rukkha in HSR but it's just the beginning so maybe later.
The sense of power I felt when this banger came on cannot be written down in words
God that boss fight was the best turn based experience I have ever had
Right!? I have been playing since the 90's and while I'm still iffy on the battle system, the production values and music are insane. They do a great job at setting up this epic climax.
Damn, I'm sorry I took so long to finally listen to this. Must be real epic when it's in game too
Wow when it synced on boss/my burst I lost. It was so such an anime boss fight I fell in love. I know HI3 has similar moments and after experiencing Starrail has me wanting to get back into HI3
Star Rail's soundtrack is on another level already
This song slaps so hard.
This is how you do boss music. Make it impactful and let us hear the lyrics along with the instrumental.
This is some DMC level styling on Mihoyo’s part. Just hype af.
Just beat this boss yesterday and this song was so fire.
2:12 when matushka exposes her hip windows
lmao
star rail staff are a different breed
AAAHHH I CANT UNHEAR IT NOW
Ayo 💀
It would seem MC is playing with his uhh.. Instrument 💀💀💀
Very rarely are there songs that genuinely give me goosebumps. This boss fight was PHENOMENAL!!
this was such a banger lets go i couldnt find it anywhere else
i wish play again Star Rail like that first time. This song has a very precious place for me, it was a game that helped me too much to stand out from my worst moment, even though right now I am back, I It made me very happy to have some free time just to play. I can't believe that next year I'll be playing for two years and I'll never regret having downloaded it.
This is probably one of the best boss battles I’ve ever played. Especially the music. Made me tear up from the sheer beauty of it.
The fight was so good... I wasn't that hyped in a long time
TetraCalyx always hit with the lyrics, accompanied by Gon's banger composition and Jonathan Steingard's powerful vocals. This is only the end of the Opening Act and I can't wait to see more! May our journey lead us starward, Trailblazers!
Hoyo keeps evolving goddamn
Just recently did this fight, was great and I accidentally timed Trailblazers ult on the drop at 1:42 never felt more badass.
I was playing with low volume so i only heard the music when the chorus began and it was so good that i had to stop fighting and just listen to it
1:41 pov: cocolia's about to "I will have order"
Thank you for uploading this song! I've been looking for it for a long time, finally!❤
Just defeated Cocolia now...goosebumps with this song. So epic❤
I still remember playing through the story as it released, the moment the first boss went this hard i knew. This team wasnt playing, and HSR would be my favorite gacha.
It still is. God i love this game.
🔥🔥🔥

CAST ASIDE, THERE'S NO COMING HOME @@ChinchillaSanta
The hype is real when the battle start, and then the protagonist power up is actually useful in the battle not just a temporary power up that only appear in cutscene which actually make me smile 😊
The drop hits hard at THAT moment. Unbelievable!!!!
I'm waiting for the Official Album on Spotify. 😍
When i fought cocolia (which wasnt that long ago bc i only started playing hsr again after like.. more than a year and i was low trailblaze level and low in story) i was actually hyped. ITS SO DAMN GOOD!😍
happy one year to this!!
A true "I am the storm that is approaching" moment
2:13 Serval Guitar solo ROCKS!!!
this boss fight is peak. I enjoyed it so much
That whole fight was so fucking hype with this music. Just did it like, and hour or two ago and still feeling the energy!
1:44 this part came in when i push the "GIANT ROBOT PUNCH" button, it was insane
yess it's so good !!
When the drop happened during Cocolias burst attack my jaw literally dropped, it was such a perfect place to put the drop in cause if you lived this attack you most certainly win, just tearing her down from this throne of madness and false promises. It was even better cause I had delayed the attack due to engine of creation massively helping weakness breaking her on the 1st charge. So when it went through I didnt expect the entire feel of the fight to change THIS drastically
