Just thinking that the man who made this masterpiece just got fired from Bungie is truly heartbreaking, i probably have more than a 1000 of those views alone
@HelloAmANoob There was layoffs early november at bungie most of the community team was fired and Michael salvatori as well as the designer of the og halo logo.
2 of the 3 composers who worked on this track are still at Bungie. I'm sad and annoyed that Salvatori was Layed off (not fired), but let's put some respect on the composers who are STILL there.
I do agree it’s a tragedy that Michael Salvatori was fired, but he didn’t write this piece, it was actually composed by Brendon Williams. Salvatori did write the Forsaken theme though, which is used a ton in this piece 😊 I’m still salty about him being fired, even a massive fan of his since the Halo days
@@nathanlanglois525 Yeah, like, it's sad that Salvatori was layed off, but half of this guys that comment this type of stuff think he wrote literally eveything. I mean, this song, First Disciple, Oneirophobia, Discipline, Eden, are some examples that weren't writen by Salvatori.
Last Wish will always be special just because it actually felt like the raid mattered. World's first ending and the Dreaming City being opened filled with secrets, the very first dungeon, a strike and a shit load of content will always be my number one Destiny moment
Definitely helped that the lore of Ahamkara was built upon since Destiny 1. We were always told how dangerous they were but never really understood until we saw the fuckery going on with Riven and the Dreaming City lol
@@turbulencegaming7518 Vaulting Content is just plain Lazy dev work. Probably has a lot to do with costs on the server end. That was the final nail in the coffin for Destiny, to be honest. I always look on and see what "could have been" with Destiny but money got its nasty tendrils into it.
The whole encounter just can’t be beaten, Doug. This legit years ago actually felt like you were fighting an already very powerful wish dragon that’s also now amped up with the power of being taken whist having her own will. Everything to the first drop to the eye mechanic and how it was how you stopped the wipe is unreal. The communication it took made it so much harder. Then the first big dps phase felt like to me the first time we have actually faced a true raid boss.
And the lore implications and now with season of the witch the confirmation that riven is bound to us everything from the dreaming city is just otherworldly well made
The absolute meaning behind this raid is so powerful from Savathun pulling the strings the whole time to avenging Cayde-6 as much as possible and even Uldren in a way because Uldren himself was just a tool of Riven and Savathun. Not only did we confront Riven who had been built up gradually but we also played straight into a deception. This soundtrack captures everything feeling possible from the epicness to the tragedy of the DLC. What an absolute masterpiece of story telling told through not only the DLC but the music and visuals themselves.
@@yoshmaik No it wasn't. The only thing that Witch Queen was better than Forsaken on was the campaign. Forsaken eclipses Witch Queen in terms of content. (Bigger raid, a dungeon, 2 locations, new supers, 5 exotic armor pieces per class (Witch Queen had 2), the entirety of gambit, etc...)
I took my buddy through Riven legit just so he could hear the full theme during the fight. First time I ever did Last Wish was without cheese and it was one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.
I've done the full Riven fight legit, and basically have done everything Dreaming City has to offer. I've never heard phase 2 play in entirety. It starts to play, but it reroutes back to phase 1 track in less than a minute. Never got the chance to hear the absolute badassery that starts at 10:45 in game.
@@Dementhis Yeah the music que can be a little funky since it triggers when Riven's health bar reaches a certain point. If you one-phase her, there's a good chance you don't hear it.
Back in 2020 I would Shepard this raid and teach folks how to do Riven legit. I don’t play D2 anymore, but those are still some of my favorite memories. This theme always feels so triumphant and warm to me :)
10:23 might be one of the best moments I've heard in this raid. It makes me feel like there's a lack of time and its a final point of separation. Same thing with the Shell of What Was soundtrack. Just a fight against the clock and its never been better

As someone who grinded this raid (and still never got the exotic) I can't even begin to convey to you how exhilarating it was to hear the transition because it meant we didn't actually fuck up the first part. This shit wasn't easy
@@netneo4038 I legit have only done queenswalk once in my life with a couple randoms after trying hard to four man it with my buddies and got 1k on my first chest opening 😂
This part goes so unbelievably hard, harder than almost any metal, rap, any kind of hype song I’ve ever heard 9:20 Then when it kicks into second gear at 10:45 I feel ready to run through a fucking brick wall.
We need last wish master so we can hear this out again. No champs just the raid we are underpowered and add more hp to riven. Doing it again underpowered would feel great as iv only ever done it once and it was just after the first week or so of the launch.
I love how the brass and stuff from 0:45 onwards in the first phase feel so bittersweet. You're taking out a majestic being controlled by the Dark against their will. Although you're impeding it from being a tool for the Dark anymore and mercy killing Riven, you still can't undo all the stuff including what the controlled Uldren Sov did
Always sucks when the people im teaching shoot the wrong eyes though But you’re completely right, nothing in bungie’s history comes close to the sheer intensity and excitement that comes from riven’s second phase, and the subsequent final stand dps test
@@Vertix07911only done legit once but we done it just a bit after it’s launch. We had dedicated people for eye shooting 2 of us from each team we’re dedicated to it and it worked fairly well only a few of our wipes were to wrong eyes and this was before console had a text chat
still listen to this on a weekly basis, such a masterful work of music, I am still confused to this day why it is not better represented in the soundtrack you can buy! Thank you for uploading this! I get to enjoy the full version without doing the raid
By far the best. The whole splitting part alone is amazing having to stun her in between attacks bait the arms do mini 3 man dps and have to communicate with the other team in which eyes to shoot then having to do it again during the big dps whist doing the other 2 mechanics along with it then the drop for the real big damage atleast it used to be idk if it is anymore was something else. Even final stand beats any other boss by the fact even after you fully take down her hp bar there’s still more and a whole other encounter after it. I really hope one day they buff Rivens hp again to stop the cheese
Finally got to do legit riven last night and oh my god this feels so much more intense while baiting the talons and dodging flame barrages while fighting ogres as well
Fr man best fight In destiny no question I haven’t ran her legit since just after it came out and I’d honestly love to try it again sometime. See how much easier it is now with how much better weapons builds etc have become because back then it was fun hard intense all at the same time having to use wells to even survive the ogres and having to miss out on a fair bit of Rivens dps to do so. Our main damage was in the first rooms and when we dropped and shot the spores
Sometimes I’ll go and find noobs that can’t hope to onephase specifically so they get to hear phase 2 with a real fight. Truly one of the most memorable OSTs in all of gaming and certainly the apex of Destiny. A beautiful and breathtaking entry into the music halls of gaming and a testament to the sheer power and quality this medium can bring to bare. Well done, Bungie. Here’s to another decade of incredible soundtracks.
I don't know anything about Destiny's lore, story or whatever, but by the images and the music... I have the feeling of despair, like, something really huge is desperately trying to escape and the world around it is desperate because of that.
Tbf riven made it seem like she wanted to escape and be free but in reality she wanted us to kill her so should could grant our wish of killing her twisting it and also granting savathûns
How outstanding it is. In riven legit, any error of your fireteam not cost you a revive but the all gad damn try, that’s why bungie made this masterpiece soundtrack to keep you in from the beginning to the end. We not talking about VOW, EOW or VOG this raid have a unique lore behind for a unique boss character. Bungie literally not remove the cheese strat just because they know how difficult this raid was think about it.
This raid and encounter is in its own league and class. It's easily the most difficult and brutal encounter while being the most complex and I am sad Bungie will never go back to that platinum standard. It is so good but brutal that as you said, one wrong move is a wipe instead.
Its literally so easy nowadays even on legit. We are way too overpowered for our own good. Did riven legit a week ago, we got her down to almost dead without even doing her real dps phase (the pimple popping)
@@whaleborne1308especially the newer raids lol (other than vow and kf) Taniks, nezarec, and atheon (technically old raid boss but got added to d2 in bl) are all expected 1 phases, and the mechanics are way too easy, at least riven’s mechanics desperately need your team to coordinate, and sanctified mind’s damage phase is very short Only somewhat difficult raid bosses are rhulk and riven, and neither take much effort regardless lol
@@TheLegacyDude It is really hard. The normal way is sadistic. Going from Spire to Last Wish, is like going from Walking around the block to a Marathon.
Just played this raid for the first time yesterday (shout-out to Fibonacci, best D2 sherpa!) And was completely blown away by the music. We completed the Riven encounter the legit way and the sense of accomplishment from it was awesome. Even though it was really tricky to learn and execute, the music really kept me in it and intensified that feeling of synergy with my fireteam. Just wanted to share that appreciation.
Next to Excision, fighting Riven is one of the most awesome feelings I’ve experienced in gaming. Pantheon made it feel more epic, and I’m so thankful it helped more players to experience Riven legit!
we'd never thought we get a raid harder then this, last wish had 2 team clear it day one, one team cleared salvations edge in first 24 hours. last wish has finally be dethroned as the hardest raid
You know, I've never heard this whole track in-game, since every LFG does the cheese, with the only variation being whether we cheese her paw or her mouth.
probably not. 3 raids in a row we've followed the 2 encounters, 2 boss fights raid formula. Day one races like Spire of Stars and Last Wish probably wont ever happen again as Bungie wants day one races to be accessible to lower skilled players. I wish something like Last Wish can happen again tho
They really need to just buff her hp so you can’t cheese anymore. Legit riven for the one time I done it was an experience 90% of the player base has missed and she’s by far got the best designed boss fight in the game. Especially when I done it we were all just under levelled for riven so things actually hurt and we had to work together to stay alive especially in the big dps area when you meet up. Wells rifts using supers to kill the ogres etc. we even had to remember the eyes in our head as console didn’t even have a text chat back then. Along with the teamwork needed the dps check was also fairly difficult to reach but when we finally beat it felt so rewarding. Also I’m biased as that run which was also my first along with the rest of us I got 1k. Only out of the team so that just made the whole experience that much better
Will we ever get another raid boss to the scale of Riven in both mechanics and design? I hope so, especially for the raid for The Final Shape. Ending this saga on a note that isn't as grand as this would suck.
Pantheon made me really appreciate this banger. If the raid soundtracks were bad we'd never have gotten through 10 minutes of the LFG nightmare never mind the 3 weeks of it...but alas the traveller and marty provides.
Damn why is the full version not in the official ost. Like the part at 1:47 with the voilins is amazing I love it. But I cant listen to it on spotifiy :(
@@TheDarkskull9 Oh yeah its for sure in the game. Did it a few days before I commented which is what made me look up the song. Its just the part I mentioned isnt in the official forsaken soundtracck that you can find online. LIke on youtube or spotifiy.
This is probably the least known soundtrack in all of Destiny, at least for the 2nd phase portion of it. I mean when was the last time you saw anyone do Riven legit? I certainly haven't done a full turn of Riven since about a month after the raid came out
Does phase 2 even play? I've never done Riven legit but people say phase 2 doesn't even exist in the game and I'm inclined to believe that cause I've never seen video evidence of the encounter with it.
It does play but only when you do dps on the third floor (the floor you stand on plates to start the encounter). Unfortunately, it plays merely secounds as the mechanic forces you to end the dps phase quickly or wipe.
I've found it sometimes plays during the Vorgeth fight in Shattered Throne, but I've never heard it during Riven ever (and I do it legit probably 80% of the time)
Thank god there's still a good upload of this track, phase 2 of Riven is nonexistent in official releases. But please, what's the point of adding that at the end?
you can get the 4 hour version of this with pantheon lfg
bruh lmaooo

@@edwardblazko9180 before. It came out with Forsaken (of course) in 2018, so like 3 years earlier
@@edwardblazko9180 Still better than Rhulk
@@Guyy_1 Personally my preference is Rhulk. It's cool to disagree 😎
I only did this raid once with some of my friends before they all stopped playing.... it was something else
Imagine laying off someone who composed this 💀
this and the gym 😻
Just played this raid for the first time yesterday (shout-out to Fibonacci, best D2 sherpa!) And was completely blown away by the music. We completed the Riven encounter the legit way and the sense of accomplishment from it was awesome. Even though it was really tricky to learn and execute, the music really kept me in it and intensified that feeling of synergy with my fireteam. Just wanted to share that appreciation.
Riven phase 2 is the best soundtrack in destiny.
Next to Excision, fighting Riven is one of the most awesome feelings I’ve experienced in gaming.
Pantheon made it feel more epic, and I’m so thankful it helped more players to experience Riven legit!
This Soundtrack and Garden of Salvation soundtrack are my 2 personal favs in Destiny 2
This gives me metal gear solid vibes and I love it so much more for that
This theme gives me legit PTSD of me trying this on the third day of release. Best raid ever tho
8:50 eargasm
Best ost!
Correct!
Suddenly…
*WITCH QUEEN*
I guess we’ll hear this song again very soon and Riven. I just hope this time around there aren’t 94 different mechanics
forsenE
I downloaded it and going to listen all day 😂
What did you use to download the video?
Do you pretend that you're the gaurdian fighting Riven in an epic scenario? Like 1v1?
Lmao 😂
@@MoonlightLulamoon Who doesn't?
The fact that the second phase of this OST is barely included in the boss fight itself is criminal
the reason why i like last wish sm
Coming back after unlocking the Godslayer title. Riven is such a fun fight.
we'd never thought we get a raid harder then this, last wish had 2 team clear it day one, one team cleared salvations edge in first 24 hours. last wish has finally be dethroned as the hardest raid
You know, I've never heard this whole track in-game, since every LFG does the cheese, with the only variation being whether we cheese her paw or her mouth.
Man you should have done this when Pantheon was around as everyone had to do it legit as they basically gave her super resist.
@@ZOMBIESrEMO_Official I missed Pantheon, due to moving back to Sactown
What a gorgeous raid.
11:31 RISE UP!
After hearing phase 2 for the first time I’m gonna try and do the housepet legit next time
Aside from this raids lore, I find vows lore 2nd best raid lore
All that amazing music just to get rick rolled at the end
Lmao 😂
Why can't the soundtrack version be this good?
I think this is the best raid to this day
Second phase guitar goes hard
Hope we could get another last wish level raid in lightfall
Unfortunately it seems like Bungie is sticking to the 4 encounters, 2 bosses formula to keep things simple and easy to produce; one can hope though
probably not. 3 raids in a row we've followed the 2 encounters, 2 boss fights raid formula. Day one races like Spire of Stars and Last Wish probably wont ever happen again as Bungie wants day one races to be accessible to lower skilled players. I wish something like Last Wish can happen again tho
NEZATHICC, THE FINAL GOD OF GAINS
@@Guyy_1 i'd like to believe that even without activision or the other studio's help they'd be able to break the mold for the final shape
I love this track
Chill Beats to Slay Wish Dragons To
Pov:u and ur team are getting worlds first and hearing this banger and riven comes and u all beam her down and grab the crown
Playing this at 2x speed sounds like a boss fight from a Kirby game
Bruh. Gonna give it a try.
Im hoping the final shape music goes just as hard as this and deep stone lullaby
Hope so mate.
They really need to just buff her hp so you can’t cheese anymore. Legit riven for the one time I done it was an experience 90% of the player base has missed and she’s by far got the best designed boss fight in the game. Especially when I done it we were all just under levelled for riven so things actually hurt and we had to work together to stay alive especially in the big dps area when you meet up. Wells rifts using supers to kill the ogres etc. we even had to remember the eyes in our head as console didn’t even have a text chat back then. Along with the teamwork needed the dps check was also fairly difficult to reach but when we finally beat it felt so rewarding. Also I’m biased as that run which was also my first along with the rest of us I got 1k. Only out of the team so that just made the whole experience that much better
12:37 onwards is my favorite part
Will we ever get another raid boss to the scale of Riven in both mechanics and design? I hope so, especially for the raid for The Final Shape. Ending this saga on a note that isn't as grand as this would suck.
Hope Bungie can create content like forsaken again.
@Joaquin have you saw how tall the witness is tbf man makes the traveler look like the ball in the tower
the final raid boss is the witness so yes
also rhulk was great
@@dankerbell might be a campaign boss tbh they did with savathick
Pantheon made me really appreciate this banger. If the raid soundtracks were bad we'd never have gotten through 10 minutes of the LFG nightmare never mind the 3 weeks of it...but alas the traveller and marty provides.
11:40 Is just 🔥
9:25 MY GOD
got damn
a murderer mine
a ost mine
had two ethereal keys and used them both forgot how though, and got 1k on my _second_ chest, of my first last wish completion
A lucky o mine.
-Riven of a Thousand Voices
Someone put in the wish for an extra key at the beginning of the raid
I got two 1K's out of my very first chest
Damn why is the full version not in the official ost. Like the part at 1:47 with the voilins is amazing I love it. But I cant listen to it on spotifiy :(
Yeah Bungie should do this official 😢
This part IS in the game, iirc. But it's only when you're inside the ascendant plane.
@@TheDarkskull9 Oh yeah its for sure in the game. Did it a few days before I commented which is what made me look up the song. Its just the part I mentioned isnt in the official forsaken soundtracck that you can find online. LIke on youtube or spotifiy.
“wait, where was the door?”
Always tackles the team 😅
Every single time i teach legit…
Best raid ost
11:10 12:25
best raid ever
9:26 Heroic af
Can't believe they fired this guy. Doesn't matter, I'm done with this game after Final Shape anyway
Bungie's Magnum Opus
This is probably the least known soundtrack in all of Destiny, at least for the 2nd phase portion of it. I mean when was the last time you saw anyone do Riven legit? I certainly haven't done a full turn of Riven since about a month after the raid came out
Does phase 2 even play? I've never done Riven legit but people say phase 2 doesn't even exist in the game and I'm inclined to believe that cause I've never seen video evidence of the encounter with it.
It does play but only when you do dps on the third floor (the floor you stand on plates to start the encounter). Unfortunately, it plays merely secounds as the mechanic forces you to end the dps phase quickly or wipe.
Not even close, though it is probably not very known to the majority. I’d say the least known is the secret track that used to play on Nessus
@@ExtraordinaryFate what is the secret track that played on nessus
I've found it sometimes plays during the Vorgeth fight in Shattered Throne, but I've never heard it during Riven ever (and I do it legit probably 80% of the time)
I listen to raid boss music while pooping, helps with toilet DPS.
Were you able to one phase it?
@@oldman6916 yes
Guys head in thumbnail looks like a halo phantom
If Bungie removes me I swear
Ayo riven it will be very bad bro. You know i am a fan of dreaming city and last wish.
Hopefully not oh vibe song of mine
Thank god there's still a good upload of this track, phase 2 of Riven is nonexistent in official releases. But please, what's the point of adding that at the end?
That is a riven rick roll lmao
I’ve reposted it no riven rick roll anymore at the end.
@@TheLegacyDude god bless
second phase sounds like training montage
8:29 is as far as you hear in 2nd phase because some fucker confused L2 and L4
😂
The fact that you literally gotta handicap yourself in order to listen to the banger that is phase 2 is criminal
