It's so much fun when you finally face off with him in the game and he starts singing his own boss music! He's a menacing and yet campy character and they completely nailed his boss music matching that tonality
Even better, cast Silence and the lyrics stop.
What I love is that you can search his home and see all his papers, he worked hard on his speech ! Respect the hardworking !
anyone else tried casting silence on him , just for the lols ?
Okay, so fun fact: The male singer is none other than the voice actor of Raphael(an in game devil), Andrew Wincott, and this was his first project like this. Just to set the scene of the character, he is a devil, who's very much into theatrics, is constantly quoting in universe poetry, and even writes his Devilish Pacts in rhymes!
He is one charmingly terrible, or terribly charming part of the game, I cannot recommend it enough(it even features an "explorer" difficulty where you can just breeze through the game, soaking in the story of it)
When you are so full of yourself, you sing your own boss music disney villain style.
And he is the only villain in bg3 where i have to give credit to them... he really deserves to do that
Even more so that you’re so into yourself, you create a clone to have sex with yourself 😭
Never in my life have I played a game where the boss starts singing his OWN boss music, thats the moment I knew I was about to die
Bro the same!! I was already reluctant to fight him but I said “fuck it let’s go!”. Then his theme starts playing and I hear him singing, “it was at this moment I knew, I fucked up!” 😅😅😅😭😭😭
My first was the encounter of "Great Mighty Poo"
Courtney Gears in Ratchet & Clank 3
I love Raphaels Final Act because the voice actor of Raphael is singing himself and its epic but what I love the most about it, is that the music here is diegetic. Most of the music in games, movies etc. is non diegetic meaning it plays for the audience but not for the people in the story (non diegetic scores vs diegetic music during dance scenes that is actually heard by the people on screen for example). So when suddenly Raphael starts singing, you realise this is not a scene where only the player hears epic music but everyone does. Like Raphael is so in control of this place that he even controls the freaking background music. I think that makes him so much more intimidating to the player. When even the music listens to his command, what doesn't? That's what I love about this the most.
It so fun that you can just stop him from singing by using silence on him.
The male voice is the devil himself singing to you. (Raphael is basically the games "Satan") He's a boss and when you fight him, he sings his own boss theme, this song during the fight lol.
'Devil himself' is putting it a bit much, since devil is a race in D&D. Asmodeus is the most powerful devil. Raphael is the son of Mephistopheles (an archdevil and second only to Asmodeus) and a secondary antagonist, but he's not one of the lords of hell. Raphael is powerful but he's not 'the devil'.
Raphael is just an archdevil
@@keeganbate8935 He's not an archdevil, he's a cambion: half human, half devil. Lorewise, he doesn't really hold all that much power. He's subservient to Zariel, who rules the first level of hell (the 'lowest' level in terms of power). He only has a lot of influence because of his father.
Hey bud, "the games satan" does not mean "the games universes satan". Hes the closest to a Satan character in the game. Much closer than Mizora, and theres very few devils in the game.@@chocopuddingcup83
Geebz.. I want nothing more than to watch you play through this game. As someone who played through it thoroughly and did everything I came across and found. It took me 120 hours for my first playthrough. And the crazy thing is, I’ve found entire questlines, areas, npcs, and legendary items and even a whole new companion that I never found before over the course of 2 more playthroughs. It’s so massive that every single time you playthrough it again you’re going to have a different experience, you’ll find countless cutscenes and dialogue you previously never knew existed. This game is truly one of a kind and once in a world experience. This game will be talked about for the next 20 years and following. It is monumental. It would take some learning but not a crazy amount. It’s a game you can genuinely sit back, take as much time as you need and soak everything in. There’s so much stuff and amazing detail in every inch of the game. You can spend 20+ hours in the first zone alone. By all means do what you want to do or play it offline if you want to. But damn I’d watch all of it.
Great game!! Hope all is well geebz👍🏽🤟🏼
Whooot! All good here :)
I recall watching the soundtrack reaction half a year ago, I had to google a few things and felt like I really learned something from somebody who knows much more than I do about music.
Don't pay the people giving you trouble any mind, I very much enjoy your reactions!
Great game and composter, thanks for the video! And it does actually continue in partial instrumental form with the 2 vocalists coming in and out occasionally, Borislav Slavov has released an extended version on his UA-cam channel
Hope all is well!
Excellent!
Never clicked like so fast, just did this fight again last night and this songs get me every time!
I knew it was gonna be this track!
One of the funniest things about this is the whole debate over what the last line is. I've always heard "your tomb", but many, many native English-speakers hear "consumes" or "consumed", and I've seen "comes true" and "is you" suggested as well.
Someone finally decided to just ask the composer on Twitter, and he confirmed that it is indeed "your tomb". Not that that has settled anything. Posting links gets comments deleted, so it's hard to provide evidence.
I think I first understood your doom, but the first time I read the lyrics it did say "tomb" which makes sense. (Also that would've made it repeatative). But in all the covers I saw "consumes/consumed". But this just feels and sounds wrong. We could also ask Andrew if he remembers what he sang.
@@Martha-Novalin- I know you agree with me, but bear with me for the sake of others: Andrew would have no reason to change the lyrics. It's also very clearly "your tomb". There's no hard C sound. It seems like the vast majority of the people who hear "consumes" or something other than "your tomb" are native English-speakers, and I have no logical explanation for that.
I even asked a few people I know who have English as their first language, and not one of them heard the same thing, all suggesting other things than the actual lyrics.
One thing the people I asked has in common: they were all either American or Canadian. I haven't had the chance to ask someone British. Since Andrew is English, maybe that's somehow muddling things.
Your hearing "your doom" for a second time actually brings me to another point. The lyrics for the final verse are:
No more deals; it's over!
The final act: your doom.
No more grace; it's over!
This House of Hope: YOUR TOMB!
"Consumed", "consumes", "is you", "comes true". None of these is anywhere near as good a rhyme for "doom" as "tomb". Lyrically, it doesn't make much sense either. Raphael isn't going to consume you. He's going to kill the player right then and there. His home will be - you guessed it - your tomb.
@@mulrich To me it's a very clear "...un...soom" sound at 2:55 in this video. There is no hard "T" sound for "Tomb" at all, and a VERY clear "S" sound. "Your Doom" might make sense lyrically, but it's not what's being sung there.
@@jehard2 see, this is why the "debate" is still ongoing when it shouldn't be: even in the face of irrefutable hard evidence provided by the people who made it, we have those who are determined to hear what they want to hear, so they reject the evidence and keep arguing.
Arguing with that kind of person is absolutely pointless, so I'm not going to. Good day to you.
This house of hope consumes 100%
I meant to ask last night but does Geebz have a set schedule for streams?
I hope you are doing well man!
One of the songs I wanted to react to for so long! Now we just need you to hear Darktides amazing ost.
You gotta do Legacy of Bhaal next! The true best track from this game
i compared it to rocky before but you saying danny elfman is so spot on, i'm not sure how i didn't recognize that before lol
this is a masterpiece for sure
On the subject of Danny Elfman, I would recommend reacting to the main theme for Fable (2004) which is composed by Danny Elfman. The rest of the soundtrack is composed by Russell Shaw, and one of the most memorable songs is called "Oakvale" which is another worthy listen.
I had gotten to the boss battle with raphael and when I heard the music for the first time i had to just sit there and take it in
Yeah I paused myself for a second and was like, “wait he is sing in his OWN theme?!” I got mad chills too 🥶🥶🥶
MUSIC iS EVERYTHIIIIING!
How long to beat says that Baldur's Gate 3 takes 60+ hours to beat, and you can easily multiply that if you are streaming. For comparison, Nier games are about 20 hours, while Abzu is 2 hours.
BAFTA nominated Andrew Wincott!
my favorite fact about this song/boss theme, the male lines are Sang by Raphael WHILE you fight him and if you cast the spell "Silence" on him during the fight, his lines are removed from the song until the spell wears off.
That's 100% false and I'm tired of seeing this everywhere. Stop spreading this around. It's been tested. Second part of the song just has much less singing.
@@shadowl95 really? damn. to be fair, i'd never seen anyone test it and just figured that it was absolutely something Larian would do by making the OST switch to his regular theme.
@@Revan_Reborn Yea it definitely seems like a funny thing they would do. Borislav has an extended version of the song on his channel. It's the full song that plays during the fight.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I highly recommend listening to the Watch Dogs 2 Main Theme. Really cool experience for headphones
You should start a movie score section. Would enjoy your thoughts on the major pieces we all know and love.
I have done a couple but you're right - should do a shout-out to remind people I'm down for it :)
@@rpgeebzmusicarcade I know I’d watch them all lol. So you’d have at least one view ;). Maybe start with some older obscure selections from films people would be surprised had a hit orchestrated track.
Deservedly so…this game won ALL 5 main categories at the Video Game Awards in a year where there were also a ton of amazing games that debuted. Man 🔥👍🏿
I recommend listening to the Ratchet and Clank original trilogy ost. It’s mostly 90’s hiphop with dirty drum beats and basslines mixed with electronic synth and sci-fi.
So for some context this song is played during a fight with Raphael and it's literally him singing it at you as he fights you. Some character classes have a spell called Silence that puts a big bubble where sound can't be generated, it's mainly used to stop spellcasters from casting a good chunk of their spells. If Raphael is in a Silence bubble his lines of the song won't play.
yeah thats false sorry
@mxtch29 Lol, no it isn't. I've done it myself.
That’s a lie I don’t know where people are getting it from.
My first time fighting Raphael I was already a bit shaken by choosing to fight him. I was telling myself bro this guy gotta be the toughest fight in the game. Then his theme starts playing…I pause like, “Yep I fucked up…..” 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶. A boss has his own theme music that he sings in, yeah he’s gonna rip me in two 😂😂😂😭😭😭
Rocky Horror meets Danny Elfman is the perfect way to describe this song.
There's a longer version too
Kristian Kumpula! I remember your top 100 video game music!
@@chilihunter7392 I wasn't expecting to ever recognised for that. As per usual one of the copyright holders eventually decided to globally block it, but this is one the tracks that has got me thinking about maybe uploading another version again.
@@KristianKumpula I would definitely watch it if you made another one. Your videos really inspired me before they were taken down, so I thank you.
Finally
What's even more oustanding with this music is that it's the only one with actual lyrics in the game during combats. When the guy started singing, I panicked because it was like Raphael was so powerful he broke the 4th wall and took over the soundtrack.
Such an experience playing this fight for the first time. So many things collide. Raphael finally loosing his temper - your literally fighting the devil - the fight starts and you see him having 666hp (thats a lot in BG3). And then this masterpiece starts playing, sounding amazing. And all of the sudden the man himself starts singing too 😂
imo this fight was the best part of the whole game
Please do reaction to battlefield 1 "dawn of a new time" and battlefield V "under new flag"
You should listen to some Lost Ark OSTs, they are amazing.
It reminded me a bit of the Oogie boogie song, was good
Would love to see you play Subnautica.
Unrelated to BG3, I would highly recommend a listen to the Terraria OST
you should play it on story mode
I recommend listening to more Stellaris Soundtrack Music
Put your paddle down... Now that's an Atari reference that only old timers will get.
This is a boss and he’s actually singing the song in the game as he’s fighting you!
Also if you hit him in the middle of his singing he actually stops haga
No. He doesn't stop signing if you hit or silence him.
Car Bomb to Baldurs Gate is a smooth transition lol
I hit Raphael while he was singing and the voice just cut off. Made me laugh a bit
Try Doom Eternal's Super Gore Nest
ua-cam.com/video/vfoj7t7NZkI/v-deo.html
This one in particular. A big part of the music in this game is that the whole track is written to be played in chunks that respond to what's going on in-game, so finding a good version can be hard. This is especially true for the Doom Eternal soundtrack, as the person who cut the official soundtrack wasn't the composer, Mick Gordon, due to conflicts with the game studio. Tragic TBH
baldurs gate is an extremely accessible game that can be as easy or hard as you want it to be. Once you got used to the UI you'd do fine. You should try it. Its turn based anyways, so theres no rush.
react to team fortress 2 OST
I had never played a turn based rpg before Baldurs Gate 3 myself. It takes a little bit of time, especially tweaking the camera controls, but the turn based gameplay really opens up the game to new and older gamers alike.
Silence raphael during the fight and the music stops 🤣😊
Yeah that’s a lie, wish people would stop spreading that.
@@nunyabusiness7942 I dont know why youre saying that, literally played this game and anything that incapacitates Raphael stops his lyrics. I was playing ice sorcerer and every time he slipped it stopped
@@nunyabusiness7942 how is it a lie when it literally works
This song does not sound good at all.
