honestly while doing pantheon this is the only encoutner that was so bad and was taking so long with random lfgs. I never did root and didnt know it myself but i literally got taught within 5 mins and later with every clear I carried the people who said "they know what to do" 💀 but damn the song is so fucking fire either way
Although he is just a beefed up incendior. I just love the animation when he just brings out his little pad and put in the codes to unleash the fire tornado towards you.
What hurts is there was a fully fleshed out psion that was supposed to be the boss here but apparently something happened and we got Issac the incendior instead
@The Architects we were never meant to have a psion here (though I agree it would've been better if we did) leaks were just wrong in this regard. That psion is the boss for the cosmodrome defiant battleground
Would have liked a caretaker type deal where we got maybe the boss we got but infused with darkness to make him stronger. Not worms since that’s Rhulks thing and we kinda killed him maybe spamwed nightmares instead of the normal enemy’s we got. Maybe spawns a nightmare of a past enemy and we’d have to kill it to then gain shift to move the planets. Tbh I just want anything other than a reskinned spire boss
Serves as a warning your running out of time we actually used it in day 1 to know how long we got left till we seen the floor panel tho trying to look at that shit day 1 was suicide
The arena looks amazing imagine we got a better looking boss other than spire of stars v2. Il admit his dps animations are cool looking when he pulls out his terminal and sends a fire tornado at us and his final stand has decent one too. Just wish he boss was more unique looking
@@okruma625 I was referring to the design as both share the same look. Both have the emperor calus theme of gold armour and both are just beefed up incinerators. The mechanics are different but the designs are practically the exact same
@@adamboy0559If you look up the concept art or look at screenshots, he's more than "just an Incendior." His armor is similar to that of Calus's own armor, but featuring elements of both Resonance and Terraformation. It's hard to see in-game, but Zo'aurc, Explicator of Planets easily has one of the coolest Cabal designs imo
i think its funny how the osmium king actually feared an event called "syzygy" which could destroy his reign, and ironically in a raid called "root of NIGHTMARES" one of the tracks is called syzygy. a nightmare of the father of Savathun, Oryx and Xivu Arath.
It’s a theory this room was used to send the events to wipe planets like fundament if they didn’t join them. Makes sense tbh if they don’t serve the witness would just wipe there planet from existence and now that Job goes to the cabal
The syzygy that we make are 3 planets. He had nightmares of an event where every planet aligned. So I’d just say this is a coincidence. If it was a hive boss with a terminal then we have more to worry about and you could be correct. Either way, interesting observation
Finally, bungie achieved it again for the first time since Sanctified Mind. That audible feeling of urgency like a "this is it boys, let's get it" moment at 4:31. For me it's so much better with the bell sound and the tumbling rock sound effect used for the planets moving into position. Maybe I'll make my own version like I did with the Leviathan dog encounter. 😁
Love this track. Like many others this got ingrained in my brain thanks to the *clicky clicky CLACK, clicky clicky CLACK* parts which are great. I think it's so memorable because it's just different. Like, at this point we all expect a super cool epic orchestral track with leit motiffs, but we don't expect most of those instruments to go away for some parts in favor of percussion that sounds like a ticking time bomb.
I want so desperately to like the music, but after spending 13 hours on it, it just brings me back to a time I don't want to be lol. Especially the little blips and bleeps randomly throughout.
This song is my favorite in the whole raid. It brings the tension from the fight even when you aren’t playing the game! Also, the very first section is my favorite. It sets the atmosphere for the encounter perfectly.
It’s a theory that it’s used to send extinction events to planets like fundememt if the krill didn’t take Rhulks offer to go in the deep and release the worm gods. This job would now be passed to this boss who died within the first 2 weeks of the job
Explicator means "to unfold". My theory is that the planets the Witness steals go here so he can pick them apart and unfold their secrets. See what happened to Mars, it looks like it was taken apart and stitched back together.
@@therandomlaniusedward2140 so far but no one actually knows how it works. It appears the explicator somewhat knew as he could use the planets to combine them and wipe the arena. The thing that destroys a planets could be the black fleet itself or something like xivu invading and destroying it.
It’s a hard one they both are amazing. The arena definitely goes to roots and the boss design definitely goes to caretaker but for the theme it’s a hard one
@@progenitor_amborella one thing bungie is great at is making there osts amazing and have stuff like that in it look at things like look within it starts off so basic but as you get to phase 3 it amps up same with the first disciple. It starts off with some basic drums then gets more and more complex the more the encounter goes on till it reaches its best at phase 3
Everything was there, to make a standout encounter, and the boss was just an enemy, a regular bog standard enemy. At least caretaker had the darkness drip and a weird face thing plus the bee hive, this guy is just a slightly weirder flamethrower guy and it pisses me off
@@CrunchBar-tc1hghe attacks it has a so slightly different tho. I was really expecting this room to have a much bigger and unique boss join as the encounter started and the small incin we got was just a mini boss
@@serial_cereal Encounters 1,2 and 4 are from a Nezarec themed dungeon which is why the mechanics are very simple and solo-able. Encounter 3 is pulled from the original lightfall's raid (now The Final Shape) which is why it feels completely seperate from RoN
@@magicm953 Well, if it was meant to be a Dungeon, at least it also got the best part of Dungeons: an amazing environment and traversal section. Right up there with King's Fall, Leviathan and Vow of the Disciple if not even better in that particular front.
@@commentingchannel9776 The actual gameplay and bosses do not feel suitable for a 6 person group though is the thing. It feels like a 6 man dungeon, a breeze.
4:32 always played while the planets were shifting around, and right after that weird reversed "bell" noise.... it still makes me tense up. Got stuck there for 16 hours on Contest mode and that was the sound of "Time to find out if we f*cked up"
Came here mainly just for the sinister section at 7:12 - 7:22 and 3:44 - 3:54? I can't find the part exactly though cause the ones in this video don't play the same part I heard in game.

Didn’t the Psion have planet, all around his body in the digital model? I think that strongly suggests that he was supposed to be the boss.
Love the clackity percussion that just screams "SPEED IT UP!", makes my heart go every time
Serves as a warning your running out of time we actually used it in day 1 to know how long we got left till we seen the floor panel tho trying to look at that shit day 1 was suicide
7:21-7:41 is why I love this theme so much. You can just feel the urgency and tension within the instruments, knowing that “Enrage is Near.”
This encounter alone was more fun to me than Nezarec. Mostly for feeling the odd one out, but also just being a really good set piece overall.

@@adamboy0559this boss shares literally no mechanics with spire of stars how tf is it "spire of stars v2" besides the fact the guy is an incinerator.
@@okruma625 I was referring to the design as both share the same look. Both have the emperor calus theme of gold armour and both are just beefed up incinerators. The mechanics are different but the designs are practically the exact same
I agree, it was incredibly unique compared to the mechanics in the previous and following encounters, and it's also just visually and audibly pleasing

A very good observation

We are aligning the planets
The syzygy that we make are 3 planets. He had nightmares of an event where every planet aligned. So I’d just say this is a coincidence. If it was a hive boss with a terminal then we have more to worry about and you could be correct. Either way, interesting observation
Maybe, if the osmium king didn't feared it, witness would've ran down and caused the thing.

Thats why I love garden & Root they have the best sound design that vibe can't be beat
a version with sound effects would go hard
Planets has a really great design just a let down of a boss.

Play Week 4 pantheon and you will get the 1 hour remix of this
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS. I WAS WAITING FOR IT SINCE THE CONTEST MODE.
sameeeeee
@@OryxTheNotSoTakenKing omg hi lmao
These percussion here will always have a groovy field to them 4:32
I’ve been looking for this, love this encounter music

I wish I knew what the room's purpose was for.
Also, this is a badass track.

@@adamboy0559 Now that's fascinating
Explicator means "to unfold".

@@adamboy0559so, basically fighting over a control of doomsday device?

Use of percussion and the clacks drums is an amazing tension builder! But the question still remains, which theme is better? Zaurac or caretaker.
This theme blows The Deserving out of the water lmfao
I'd say caretaker's theme is better
I prefer this over Caretakers theme tbh
It’s a hard one they both are amazing. The arena definitely goes to roots and the boss design definitely goes to caretaker but for the theme it’s a hard one
I'd say they're two parts of the same coin. Caretaker is a lot more foreboding and intimidating, while Explicator is imposing yet very triumphant
7:20 I absolutely love the clacky drums, but the deeper ones.. oopmh. Also, anyone notice the drums in 3:44 and 7:12 are different?
Probably different because there different phases. In raid ost they tend to add more each phase till the last
@@adamboy0559ye, but it’s such a subtle detail there which I love

We were robbed of that Psion with the orbs being the boss.
Well, he does have a neat looking sun mask if you look closely
@@GTR1997 That wasn't meant to be the boss at all... that psion isn't even in the raid files.
@@itsharibonph that's not from the raid.
It's for the end of the season thing
@@CrunchBar-tc1hghe attacks it has a so slightly different tho. I was really expecting this room to have a much bigger and unique boss join as the encounter started and the small incin we got was just a mini boss
This encounter is above the rest of the raid ngl, starting to believe the dungeon theory
Love the clacky drums and dps cycle parts of this
What’s the dungeon theory? I haven’t heard it
@@serial_cereal Encounters 1,2 and 4 are from a Nezarec themed dungeon which is why the mechanics are very simple and solo-able.
