@@mailpack584 The album version sounds more clean and has some cool touches added to it, but I personally think it doesn't have nearly as much impact as the ingame version. The section towards the end of the first phase, and the strumming of the instrument at the beginning of the second phase for example, don't sound as intense, and the vocals leading into the beginning of phase 3 are missing. If this version was used in the actual fight I can't imagine it having quite the same effect.
Altho if she went full power, she would destroy the entire galaxy. Since ravagers are galaxy destroyers so she was just playing with us the entire time

This song is a piece of Dong choir, a traditional Dong folk song in China. This piece does has lyrics and meaning, but I'm not from Dong and don't know the language(Dong language is different from Chinese). The following is translated from old Chinese(classical Chinese) given above by HOYO-MiX: Phase 1: The plants grow lush in the morning, but wither in the evening. For mayflies and morning dew (short-lived species), the future is truly fleeting. A day's time is indeed too short. Phase 2: Lamenting the brevity of time, the pain brought by birth, aging, and illness all stems from death. Even immortals have a day of passing, leaving behind useless sighs. The divine branches(Hilt-Wood branches) have now grown abundant and mature, with grass and flowers flourishing around them. the holy branches are already laden with bountiful fruits on the southern mountain. Phase 3: Those who accept their destiny will achieve immortality, and those blessed by heaven will shine throughout the starry sea. It is quite difficult to translate these lyrics into today's Chinese, let alone into English. Anyone who can translate better please leave a comment.😿By the way, lyrics of Azhdaha battle theme in Genshin impact is old Chinese (classical Chinese) language, too.
I lost my mind when it came to his turn and he shouted "It ends here Phantylia!" and "For the Xianzhou!" as he attacked. What a fantastic touch. I hope they do that in the future with other big plot fights and give whatever character is related most closely to the going ons unique dialogue.
I swear playing these intense music over mundane chores is too much of a rush. Never have I felt like I hold the fates of the universe while preparing my breakfast.
@@viablue8143 Instructions unclear. I listened to Lady Maria's theme while mopping the floor and somehow, the floor got marred with blood and burn marks.
0:00 - Phantylia stares down at you with a condescending look on her face, slouching as she laughs at your efforts on bringing her down. She has the power of Abundance with her, so what else can you do but struggle? 1:57 - Phantylia starts to take you a bit more seriously as she sits up, unlike her original position. She brings out the power of Destruction to stop you from playing any more games. 4:01 - Phantylia gets frustrated as the so-called 'ants' are now beating her at her own game, with a hand on the ground and a furious frown. She calls upon the powers of both Abundance and Destruction, taking you seriously as she tries and stop you from defeating her completely.
She still not serious in the fight.. jing yuan said if she take the fight more seriously shes already won.. the reason she lose cuz she trying so hard to achieve the destruction in the way she desired by turning jingyuan.. unaware that the technique linked both parties
Hoyo really never misses with their OSTs. Love how 1st phase starts off with that menacing chanting but despite it,you can still feel that you're in control of the situation.She may scare you(tbh,no she doesn't.She only turns you on)but you still need to put a stop on her. But then it shifts to phase 2 and things got intense.I mean,she literally starts it off with a literal fcking NUKE on your team.You can feel that it's time to get serious as she does the same(Can't forget the BANGER at 3:15,really makes you consider your choices properly as it's no time to play around anymore). Lastly,the final phase,it begins...Phantylia is getting sick of the ants(you and your team)getting in her way.Thus,she reveals her true form.This is it,time to put an end to it.Despite how impossible it may look,you still have to give it your all.Then,5:05 starts playing and it makes you remember all the things that you've been through and seen throughout your journey,especially at the Xianzhou Luofu.That place is now an absolute mess.You can't give up,not just yet.You MUST bring an end to her schemes in order to bring peace and seal the Stellaron for good.So,give it your all Trailblazer and help JingYuan defeat Phantylia! (p.s,I know it's cringy as hell but writing these kind of comments is kind of a thing that I do for fun,so don't mind it)
No worries, if ONLY I am patient with my words and I am musically skilled, I would write of the same emotional and descriptive analysis of game songs BGM as well.
Roughly lyric Phase 1 (Plant) Grow abundantly in the morning，Withering in the evening. To mayfly and dew, The future is short One day is too short Phase 2 Lament the shortness of time Life, old, disease, all from death. Even immortals will died one day, only hopless sign remain. The sacred branches are now abundant, and flowers are thriving around them. On the southern hills, the fruit hung full of branches. Phase 3 Those who accept destiny, Will live forever Those who are blessed by God, Will shine among the stars.
@@memoryofsalem4474 It's an ethnic language of the Kam (Dong) people, an ethnic group living in southern China. It is very different from Mandarin Chinese and doesn't translate well into Chinese or English.
I love how the motiff of the third part of this boss fight's song 5:04 also played during the Jingyuan VS Jingliu short animation at the start of the Xianzhou arc, tying up the entire arc
2:21 - 3:02 This Right there Is such a FUCKING BANGING PROGRESSION My head just keeps banging and banging everytime i hear it, it's so satisfying Also 3:15 reminds me so much of one of the choir parts during sephiroth's theme Approximatly same rythm for the lyrics Really good Love this fight so much The music combined with the visuals So good And for the a FORM of the weakest ( i think ?) Lord Ravager I cannot imagine what we'll have in the future--
Honestly if there is part 2 of HSR I really want we explore outside imaginary tree and sea of quanta because In HI3, GI, and HSR the story is always inside imaginary tree and sea of quanta. We know from HG 2 there is other multiverse
BRUHHHH THE SEPHIROTH. It's exactly the reason why One-Winged Angel is a favorite of mine. There is just something about chanting in music that hits the right spot
The progression builds from 2:21 if you listen it more carefully, so the flow is really smooth because we have already fallen into the vibes this music provides without mentioning.

That's true.. it would be epic as well if they included the lyrics during our first encounter with the boss, just like how in anime with some of the hype moments the anime OP starts playing in the background.
also did anyone else think she kinda looks like Nanook himself in the 3rd phase? I also noticed she looked like the voidranger's n whatnot in her 2nd phase 2 I think its a really cool touch
I think that's because the Path of Destruction has always been depicted with ominous colours (Voidrangers) and pale orange/white (Nanook itself is covered in that colour tone).
@@rizvaark "They only take the form of a human male" maybe Nanook identified as a human male and here you are misgendering Nanook :/ Totally disrespectful, shame on you.
One of the most memorable boss battle, from that looking down like nothing 'taking candies from children', into 'Time to get really serious' mode... Hoyoverse really made it for real. The music is also beautiful. The plot twist is indeed something new, but the cliffhanger is kinda cliche.
If you're ever salty about giving your money to Hoyo and getting a garbage 5*, just remember that they reinvest large sums of their profit made off you back into their music department. You guys paid for this music
Also, from what I've read, the chanting in this piece is the Dong/Kam language from southeast China. A language that is in danger of going extinct. So if nothing else, some of it is now preserved in HSR.
@@Gwenyvier its sad. Lots of chinese language r struggling to b preserve, im trying my best to learn my own dialect from my parents now. Bt its happening everywhr, cultures r always dying n evolving to a new 1.
Anyone else enjoy how most of our worst enemies are dual-Emanators? Phantylia is a Lord Ravager, meaning she's a Destruction Emanator. Possessing the body of an Abundance Emanator. Sunday's the first/last Order Emanator who possessed the body of Septimus, a Harmony Emanator. Making them both quite godlike.
I love every part of this fight in how the fight and music progress with each other. It’s like reading or listening to a great story. The beginning of the fight sees Phantyllia being overconfident and barely using her powers, while the music is more ambient and introduces her as this true force to be reckoned with. The opera like vocals merge with the instrumentation to show “this is an extremely tough fight, good luck”. The second phase, being the “rising action” is just as fantastic. Phantyllia brings her powers of destruction to bear, decimating us with massive rocks and tough to deal with debuffs. The music breaks from its ambient style to bring out a fast paced, almost entirely different tone. The opera is replaced at some point with almost a rap with a fantastic beat, giving you the feeling that you’re not out of the woods yet and you’d better hurry up into…. The climax! This is when Phantyllia is truly on the ropes and is bringing out her full power. She utilizes the mechanics from the last two rounds as well as devastating blast and aoe strikes. The music shifts back to the more orchestral theme, but instead of the boss like ambience we get a new theme. The theme feels like ours. It has these sweeping melodies of hope and adventure. If phase one was Phantyllia’s ambience, phase 3 is ours. It goes through these adventurous Chinese style themes that make you want to finish her off in triumphant heroic style!! Hoyoverse really outdid themselves with the design of this fight. Giving us a truly godlike enemy to test our mettle against. I don’t know who the next boss will be, but I hope it’s just as epic as this one and Cocolia.
Everyone talks about the drop but, personally, I am here for 4:18 The return of the strings after the chors just gives me chills, literal chills. 🤗 So EPIC!
Mihoyo just keeps blowing my expectations out of the water... like DAMN... this theme and fight was excellent, and just like La Signora's theme in Genshin, learning the meanings to the lyrics added a whole new level of appreciation that even brought tears to my eyes.
The way it goes in the third phase, battle as it's hardest and thickest yet it fills you with so much resolution and clarity. I was having trouble processing all that had happened, Tingyun specially, but I was so emboldened at this point, and given so much peace, the path for victory so clear even through the fury and sorrow.
Hearing this just remind me of my nervosism doing the quest. I got so damn nervous for Jing Yuan, no doubt he's one of my fav characters. When I heard his unique dialogue, I got all pumped up and determined, but also nervous. "So damn death flags". This boss wasn't hard, the OST slaps, and I was nervous during all 3 phases.
Just being honest, this video and Wildfire were what got me to try Star Rail, cause I'm a music geek. Thanks for sharing it! Other people have pointed out the lyrics for each phase, and I love how it's also a mirror of the Xianzhou's story: Phase 1 a lament of mortality, Phase 2 the realization that even immortality is flawed, Phase 3 those blessed by Heaven and accepting their destiny will shine across the cosmos (i.e. following Lan/the Hunt is right and good).
Phase 2 is sooooo fucking good. The intro is great, and then everything from the build up all the way through the drop to the very end of the song is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 the other two phases themes are great too, but I can’t get over how fucking insane that part is. Such an amazing buildup into a choral chant + EDM trap mix that you just CANNOT expect; two things you never thought would fit together, yet they blend so damn perfectly. I can’t help but move when I hear it.
The intro to the first track is amazing but the second track is my favourite overall. Ill be bumping these in the gym nonstop when they release on Spotify 😅
Phantylias boss theme made me play HSR, her design and theme is just amazing. Got it recommended one day and then decided to play in Febuary and been playing every day. Great game.
This really makes me remember Monster Hunter Rise's Mizutsune theme. I bet you can slap this theme onto that monster with some mods and you'll be humor to see how it suits so well!
The song in the third phase really synch. My struggle to keep my characters alive (just spamming all skills to attack while my loucha passive is active)

@@masdrionalt fair point, but the discussion of which version is better is potentially endless, there are arguments to be made for both.
3:15
The high-pitched beat used to be a lower pitch
And they removed the vocal intro from the third phase
This isn’t the game version
"the flowers in my garden give me more grief"
I love when characters shit talk
you just know King Yuan has a book hes kept over the thousand years hes been alive where he just writes down burns and taunts
Dang heng came in like a deadbeat dad at a family reunion "did you think this was over phantiliya?"
The weed in my garden give me more grief. That's what I hear in game.
I thought he said weeds
"was that all?" lmfao
Also I like how cocky she seems at the beginning, and then actually takes the fight a bit more seriously later on
Altho if she went full power, she would destroy the entire galaxy. Since ravagers are galaxy destroyers so she was just playing with us the entire time

The build up is the best part of the track lol, better than the drop itself
It’s fantastic, and makes the drop all that much better 😌
3:15 I also like this part also!
I love both 2:21 and 3:15
Thatr build up is absolutely crazy!
Remember hearing 3:15 in game, I PAUSED THE FIGHT TO TURN UP TO MUSIC IT SLAPS SO HARD
I play with max music volume always, so I had to turn up my headphones 😂
Cant you not access settings during the fight
@@spookwavevevoyou can like, specifically access audio only I think lmao
Same !!!
5:04 is one of the best parts
So true.
Bonus points is that I believe this is what plays when Jing Yuan manages to finish her off

idk how to describe it but, the ''anxiety'' her second phase song has before the drop is something else, this fight on the campaing was so good!
"Phantylya! Your scheme ends here!" - Jing Yuan.
Bro, he was magnificent in this battle.
Anyone else enjoy how most of our worst enemies are dual-Emanators? Phantylia is a Lord Ravager, meaning she's a Destruction Emanator. Possessing the body of an Abundance Emanator. Sunday's the first/last Order Emanator who possessed the body of Septimus, a Harmony Emanator. Making them both quite godlike.
2:34 still gives me goosebumps even after 1 year after release
I love every part of this fight in how the fight and music progress with each other. It’s like reading or listening to a great story. The beginning of the fight sees Phantyllia being overconfident and barely using her powers, while the music is more ambient and introduces her as this true force to be reckoned with. The opera like vocals merge with the instrumentation to show “this is an extremely tough fight, good luck”.
The second phase, being the “rising action” is just as fantastic. Phantyllia brings her powers of destruction to bear, decimating us with massive rocks and tough to deal with debuffs. The music breaks from its ambient style to bring out a fast paced, almost entirely different tone. The opera is replaced at some point with almost a rap with a fantastic beat, giving you the feeling that you’re not out of the woods yet and you’d better hurry up into….
The climax! This is when Phantyllia is truly on the ropes and is bringing out her full power. She utilizes the mechanics from the last two rounds as well as devastating blast and aoe strikes. The music shifts back to the more orchestral theme, but instead of the boss like ambience we get a new theme. The theme feels like ours. It has these sweeping melodies of hope and adventure. If phase one was Phantyllia’s ambience, phase 3 is ours. It goes through these adventurous Chinese style themes that make you want to finish her off in triumphant heroic style!!
Hoyoverse really outdid themselves with the design of this fight. Giving us a truly godlike enemy to test our mettle against. I don’t know who the next boss will be, but I hope it’s just as epic as this one and Cocolia.
This whole theme and the battle theme for regular enemies on the previous zone reminded me so much of Nier Autómata because of the lyrics
That chanting during second phase is so fucking good
Everyone talks about the drop but, personally, I am here for 4:18
The return of the strings after the chors just gives me chills, literal chills. 🤗
So EPIC!
Phantylia casually crushing us with the weight of star entering 2nd phase is insane lmao xD
3:15 these types of chanting is so hypnotic to listen to
3:50 the strength in the choir being backed by the synth is just so satisfying
It always takes me longer to get through the second phase because when that beat hits my hands are up and my feet are moving
cringe😂😂😂
@@Graaf27you're cringe
Phantylia really looked like all of Xianzhou's species combined in one avatar.
Mihoyo just keeps blowing my expectations out of the water... like DAMN... this theme and fight was excellent, and just like La Signora's theme in Genshin, learning the meanings to the lyrics added a whole new level of appreciation that even brought tears to my eyes.
Both are my favorites in their respective games
The 3rd phase of this songs gives me chills every time, I love it
Yes, same
god i remember when it prompted me to use Dan Heng's ult as SOON as 3:15 hit
same here!
This isn’t just a boss theme…It’s a goddamn SYMPHONY, fitting for the first Lord Ravager we actually get to take a crack at.
It's true but it seems she was weakened by the abroisel arbor
The way it goes in the third phase, battle as it's hardest and thickest yet it fills you with so much resolution and clarity.
I was having trouble processing all that had happened, Tingyun specially, but I was so emboldened at this point, and given so much peace, the path for victory so clear even through the fury and sorrow.
Neighbours are gonna think im summoning a demon 😭😭
I love how this fight you cannot let jing down like he's the most important power in this fight
Listening to this at the HSR Concert livestream hits so hard
1:58 this gave me goosebumps
3:15 "Time to get serious!"
3:43 The synth and the chant🤝🔥
I'm now just deciding which boss to fight solely for the theme 😭
Hearing this just remind me of my nervosism doing the quest. I got so damn nervous for Jing Yuan, no doubt he's one of my fav characters. When I heard his unique dialogue, I got all pumped up and determined, but also nervous. "So damn death flags". This boss wasn't hard, the OST slaps, and I was nervous during all 3 phases.
I think this is the best music HoyoMix ever created, so much creativity and everything is perfect.
not really, it's good but honkai 3 and genshin have better ones
It's the best to me also, wayyy better to other games, i have played both HI3 Genshin and HSR, this is by far the most badass boss theme
Hearing phase two at 2:47 and thinking about dan heng IL unleashing his ultimate attack is epic
I love the string instrumental at 2:06 it’s so amazing…
Such beautiful art and music. Can't wait to see them get into bigger and bigger games!
Truly the music company at its peak
“The weeds in my lawn give me more grief”
Best use of foreshadowing ever
Just being honest, this video and Wildfire were what got me to try Star Rail, cause I'm a music geek. Thanks for sharing it!
Other people have pointed out the lyrics for each phase, and I love how it's also a mirror of the Xianzhou's story: Phase 1 a lament of mortality, Phase 2 the realization that even immortality is flawed, Phase 3 those blessed by Heaven and accepting their destiny will shine across the cosmos (i.e. following Lan/the Hunt is right and good).
It's giving 'kimetsu no yaiba ost' vibes
and i'm here for it
Fr
Phase 2 is sooooo fucking good. The intro is great, and then everything from the build up all the way through the drop to the very end of the song is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 the other two phases themes are great too, but I can’t get over how fucking insane that part is. Such an amazing buildup into a choral chant + EDM trap mix that you just CANNOT expect; two things you never thought would fit together, yet they blend so damn perfectly. I can’t help but move when I hear it.
The intro to the first track is amazing but the second track is my favourite overall. Ill be bumping these in the gym nonstop when they release on Spotify 😅
Went from fighting a space dragon to a single mother to a minor god. What the fuck is escalation.
this is better than wildfire idc
Its so good i cried hearing the song and get hyped at the same time. never happened to me before
Phantylias boss theme made me play HSR, her design and theme is just amazing. Got it recommended one day and then decided to play in Febuary and been playing every day. Great game.
The violin is amazing and fits in so well omg.
I just noticed that you can hear the Xianzhou leitmotif at the end of phase 2 and the middle of phase 3.
This is so MUCH MORE my thing that Wildfire. More of these please ♥
1:34 your normal yunjin
1:58 your goth yunjin
4:44 your pyro yunjin (cuz phase 3 is as lit as 2)
This really makes me remember Monster Hunter Rise's Mizutsune theme. I bet you can slap this theme onto that monster with some mods and you'll be humor to see how it suits so well!
Yup same here, mizutsune theme hits so hard like this theme
3:15 gave me CHILLS BRO I HAD TO TURN THE MUSIC UP WHILE FIGHTING FUCKK ITS SO GOOD THE CHANTINGNGNGG
Im very obsessed with this theme. If i keep playing and dancing i might summon something from the dark side.
By far, one of my favorite boss fight
The Moment when Dan Hang enters the Battle, SO EPIC !
Crazy that nobody's talking about this part 4:58
Literally music to my ears
I would die to see this live 😭. Still my favorite boss soundtrack even after finishing penacony.
Uhm there's actually a live version of this. Just search it up.
0:00 - 1 Phase
2:00 - 2 Phase
4:00 - 3 Phase
Phantylia during phase one and two : I sleep
Phantylia during phase three : gotta lock in.
"Deja me pongo presentable".
THE WEEDS IN MY GARDEN CAUSE ME MORE GRIEF!
I cant wait the concert version of this
i have the second phase set as my ship music and every time the chanting at 3:15 comes on, i have to pause
Thank you pom pom!
Honestly ever single boss fight song is fire for this game
This song has so many absolutely phenomenal parts. Mine favorite is 5:04 - 5:30. Literall tears.
The song in the third phase really synch. My struggle to keep my characters alive (just spamming all skills to attack while my loucha passive is active)
