"Slowly.Gently....This is how a life is taken"
MaximusMeridius I get that all the time from using my plague doctor.
School in a nutshell...
Great is the weapon that cuts on it's own!
Push the advantage give them no quarter.
A death by inches...
I dont think any other game can match the pride and adrenaline you experience when your stressed out party members go heroic
a tide turning 10% critical hit in xcom ironman can get pretty close. :)
When my Crusader or Vestal gets heroic I always imagine them screaming "DEUS VULT INFIDIELS!"! Shit simply just got more searious :D
The Vestal I brought with me for the last fight became Vigorous halfway through. Unfortunately I brought Reynauld and Dismas, so I had to *(LMAO SPOILERS)*
"Many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one. Not today."
My vestal has a tendency to get heroic under stress, so whenever she starts getting stressed I'm like, "Yeah, Godard! Kick their asses!"
"As the fiend falls, a faint hope blossoms."
More dust. More ashes. More *disappointment.*
"Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer."
"Behold the infinite malignity of the stars!"
How quickly the tide turns
Continue the onslaught! Destroy. Them. ALL!
"The way is lit. The path is clear. We require only the strenght to follow it."
Yes we need this strenght
THE WAY IS LIT‼️🔥 💯
and the spelling! ;p
confidence surges as the enemy crumbles
Remind yourselves that confidence is a slow and insidious killer. *Which is it now, old man?*

My god, these themes make even the simplest battles seem like a titanic life or death struggle
+Renald Lefebvre (DraxxKraven) "Mortality clarified in a singular strike!"
All of my deaths on one of my files have been because one of my bounty hunters took a critical hit, and the next enemy just happened to target them as well. Both times I didn't even get a chance to counter it.
Shamblers will do that to you.

Perfect battle music for my D&D adventure!
Sulicius I know right, right now I am picking out music to run with Curse of Strahd. This is just Perfect!
Well hello fellow DMs im doing the same ahahahahaha
Saving it for the final boss of the campaign, going to give them all Nam flashbacks before the fight even starts XD
Haha same! My players are in a haunted town about to come up against a banshee and I will definitely be using this for the combat music.
Got plans for the final boss of my campaign to be an evil drow lich queen that actually turns out to be one of the party members mother. Long way to go yet but i look forward to the encounter, this soundtrack fits perfectly!
"Remember that there cannot be bravery...without madness!"
4:57 SUCH TERRIBLE ASSAULT CANNOT BE LEFT UNANSWERED
Darkness closes in, haunting the Hearts of Men.
Ringing ears, blurred vision... The end approaches
"Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer..."
"Triumphant pride precipitates a dizzying fall"
RINGING EARS. BLURRED VISION. THE END APPROACHES....
TEETERING ON THE BRINK, FACING THE ABYSS!
A hand's breadth from becoming unwound!
DAZED, REELING, ABOUT TO BREAK
BLEEDING PROFUSELY NO BANDAGES NEARBY THE ENEMY STILL STANDS...
That actually has to be one of the most intense of the lines! So many epic encounters in this game arrrrhhhh XD No other game than DD makes you fear for your characters lives like that.
2:38 PRESS THIS ADVANTAGE, GIVE THEM NO QUARTER!!!
Remind Yourself That overconfidence es a slow, and insideous killer.
Whenever I have to kill a spider for my flatmates - *squish* Me: BACK TO THE PIT!
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
As victories mount, so too will resistance.
FOULISH CREATURES. BROUGHT LOW AND DRIVEN INTO THE MUD
As a DM I love seeing my players lose their shit when I play fitting music for each monster. Im using this for the hag coven next session
i mean there is a boss in the game named the hag maybe use her theme song?
I always use this when one of my players are on death's door!
nice, we are fighting an umber hulk now, im going to propose Battle in the Warrens for the next session
DM: *plays DD music* Players: haha I'm in danger
How do you play intense music like this and things not get awkward?
Everytime this game is mentioned, SOMEONE uses a quote from the narrator.
Because he is part of what makes it so unique and unforgettable.
He will be laughing still, at the end...
Prodigious size alone does not dissuade the sharpened blade
The narrator is amazing
A fortune awarded to the brave and foolhardy alike.

Also I love how the cove music represents the bosses of the cove. 11:31 is the Siren's song, 12:39 is the moaning and chanting of the Drowned Crew, and the sunken ship bells and drums of the Pelagics are all within the piece.
BACK TO THE PIT!
I am 33. I play since 1990 according to my parents. I play a lot, and always used to play a lot in the past as well. I experienced most of the mainstream consoles, as well as Neo-Geo, dreamcast, ps2 saturn snes genesis....pc gaming as well in the 90's... and let me tell you this straight: this game has one of the best atmosphere I have ever witnessed.
Yes and even though it's 2D isn't that just awesome?
It leans hard into the Lovecraft influences, especially with the rich and vivid flavor text, does not hold your hand, and makes insanity a thing to fear more than death. This and Bloodborne do an excellent job at getting at that part of what makes Lovecraft's mythos so good.
Same here and I agree
ps2 and dreamcast? You're a legend. But, did you ever play top gear?
nice
13:33 BEHOLD THE HEART OF THE WORLD! PROGENITOR OF LIFE, FATHER AND MOTHER, ALPHA AND OMEGA! Our creator... And our destroyer.

"Continue the onslaught. Destroy. Them. All." - Ancestor
Is it even possible to get more hype than this?
6:20 I'm getting PTSD from this.
That one is really depressing to listen to
There’s a science that alarm sounds stress us out because we associate the noise with the horrible feeling of having our sleep disturbed and getting out of bed. This though gives me Vietnam-style flashbacks to my inaccurate Houndmaster who’d end up sucking his own thumb if he fell into a barrel of tits.
This song: starts playing My team to themselves: “somebody going to die tonight”
It makes me mildly panic as suppressed memories of accidentally stumbling into Thing From the Stars in the middle of a Medium Long Weald expedition. My Level 4 Antiquarian and Grave Robber did not return from that expedition.

when i die i want the ancestor's voice actor to come to my funeral and say this: "More dust, more ashes, more disappointment"
Russiandoomerwavemusic . Try it.
“ Destroy... Them... *All.* “
Hearing the music at 5:00, when your torches are snuffed and your hero's are fighting on their last legs is so intense
...and the ceaseless squeals of the swine folk, closing in from all around. Almost like they're lurking just beyond the wall, the only thing keeping them at bay is themselves, squabbling over who gets to eat your party first.
A moment of valor shines brightest against a backdrop of despair.
"Confidence surges, as the enemy crumbles!"
""Spare the others... I am ready"" -Leper
Many fall in the face of chaos. But Not This One! Not Today.

+David Kirth Except for me... Im simply Crestfallen
Or is being dapper merely a drink of the light?
*Tries and fails to think of a Saulden quote*
0:16 is my favourite moment, especially when you are fighting in low light vs dozens of creatures, music goes like evil laughter of everything around you.
"Dazed.....Reeling......about to break....."
In radiance may we find victory.
As the fiend falls a faint hope blossoms!!
7:30 "And now... the darkness holds dominion - black as death."
The Cove Combat music must be my favourite soundtrack in the game! It gives player a mood to fight rather than cry over getting critted by "pelagic fishman-folk" ;)
Me personal favourite is Return to the Warrens which only plays in low light battles. Hence I'd make as many low light warren runs as possible.
“You can run, but you’ll only die tired...” - Bounty Hunter Boba Fett
I like this comment. Fits nicely!
Used this for a horror themed DnD session tonight and it was DOPE.
The slow death.. unforseen, unforgiving
Prodigious size alone does not dissuade the sharpened blade!
7:28 "A time to perform beyond ones limits!"
*Many fall in the face of chaos; but not this one, not today.*
That moment when the light goes out and the music kicks it up makes you go "YOU WANNA FIGHT MAGGOTS!? LET'S GO!!"
"I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me!"
00:00 Combat in the Ruins pumps me up! Especially at 2:10 when $*!# hits the fan.
That moment when you are at low health and enemies are getting crits, while the stress is about to hit 100 in the next few turns, the light is low and you have to choose beetwen to try to scape or fight for the life of your heroes. This soundtrack is what you feel at that moment.
Playing this while listening to the Narrator's Quote playlist makes it feel like you're playing
at that point you might just wanna play the game instead
@@jonnypferdeschwanz7479 and get mad at RNG and eventually ragequit? Maybe
@@punishedredruby that's the thing with this game, if you ragequit you come back stronger and with a different mentality. I think that's the right way to play DD, overrun the game and you will get more and more stress.
« And now the true test. Hold fast, or expire. »
6:18 The moment when your party is nearly dead and their minds completely broken. Fight on, or live to --die-- another day ?
love the plague doctor art
14:55 BEHOLD! The Heart of the World! Progenitor of life; Father and Mother; Alpha and Omega! Our creator... and our destroyer.
0:00 When you hear mum pull up in the driveway and you remember you haven't cleaned your room like you were supposed to
why do i hear boss music?
Damn, Return to the Warrens is my favourite, so dark and bestial, I love it. Feels like you're overruned, surrounded by a swarm of belching, howling, growling monsters. It's perfect to work on a urgent project !
14:10 Too late to run Fight or die.
I'm in love with this music, it's perfect for combat in my dnd sessions! The game seems to be pretty good too, hope to lay my hands on it when I can.
I can confirm that I love and hate this game at the same time, and I cannot wait to play the recently released Darkest Dungeon 2, which looks completely SICK!

"How quickly the tide turns."
This really came in clutch in our D&D campaign when we got trapped in a single file corridor with a room full of 20 undead on one side and a horde of giant rats on the other side.
Continue the onslaught! Destroy. Them. All.
I once had my entire party die from heart attacks one after another. I wasn't happy.

@@kaboomluong9373 That is quite tempting.
@@kaboomluong9373 If it's that stress inflicting goblet, no thank you ✋🏼
Everyone gangsta until the mob rolled 2 crits in a roll.
The battle theme for the weald is probably the best one in the OST
"Many fall in the face of chaos...But not this one! Not today"
Give them no quarter!
DEUS VULT!!!!!
Using this in my Pen and Paper group as battle music. Couldn't be more fitting when a dice roll decides your fate!
Destroy. Them. ALL.
A trifling victory but a victory nonetheless
Mortality clarified in a single blow.
Perfect inspirational music for my writing. Love this score very much. I need more.
6:19 Mournweald Encounter theme gives me the chills...I can almost feel my crew going deeper into insanity....!!!
There can be no hope in this hell. No hope at all.
"Ringing ears... Blurred vision... The end approaches... "
Can we appreciate how these musics describe perfectly the horror and the stress of playing this game?
"Slowly, gently, this is how a life is taken"
this is perfect music to play Skaven wow was so hard to find something like this

I was playing DND with my brother and friends and we were listening to the soundtrack and as we entered a dungeon a huge wolf monster started attacking us and this song kicked in when he popped out.

I like how the final battle theme seems to combine and implement several elements from each other theme.
Makes sense as it is the theme of the final boss
Make sense, thats a way to end your Journey, a reminder of all you have done till the end
I had cave ambience playing when my players were hunting a dracolich, and this music kicked in right as it was revealed! It was perfect
This song goes with about ANY RPG SYSTEM AND UNIVERSE you play. Played games since 5 years old, my first console was the Atari. I had SNES, megadrive, Dynavision, PS1 and 2, Dreamcast, N64, and i can say with no fear that this game was one of the best ones i've played in my entire life. The feeling of dodging and hitting, getting criticals when needed or death's door checks on the right moment are always like you have won the lottery. Getting all the achievementes in this game took me hundreds of hours and i loved EACH minute of it.
Dazed... reeling... about to break!
I just played in the first session of a new campaign last night. This was the perfect music for a Giant Spider ambush in the middle of the jungle
Stumbling upon these songs years after my last play-through gave me PTSD flashbacks.
Literally 4 months ago was playing mordhau and had KZhead up playing music, this vid came on, not long after I bought darkest dungeon cuz of this soundtrack, love the game, thanks dood
Holy crap! It's been two years since I played this game and the OST still stresses me out!!!!!
"Combat Music" This is just regular old combat music? Jesus Christ.
This game is pretty rugged. Any fight can end up with someone either dying or going mad if you aren’t careful
@@wrongtime9097 the priest can finger you for 43 crit xd
The entire game plays and feels like a gothic nightmare. It’s incredible, and it isn’t even that flashy or flamboyant with its visuals. I’ve never played another game nearly as epic or teeth-grindingly stressful as Darkest Dungeon.
