All-Devouring Narwahl MUSIC REACTION || Genshin Impact

16:46 if you wonder why the music is so "out of place" as you are basicly battling a creature origin not from Teyvat,and its codename is "Visitor from the far side of the sea of stars"

11:04 "I love that we're not moving away from traditional instruments"... and then 16:46 hits.

the edm part instill fear.. i literally panicked when the bass dropped. The first part also even better with narwhal's sound in the game. They really want us to feel fear.

When i fought the 2nd phase during the story line i managed to time zhongli's ult with the beat drop perfectly, i dont think ill ever hit a high moment like that again

I feel like this boss theme, specifically with it having such contrasting parts, does an amazing job at making you FEEL the horror of fighting this creature. Hoyomix just doesn’t miss

I feel like every part of the whale feels super otherworldy, and i think that describes the abyss pretty well

As a huge animal nerd i cannot stress enough how much i love this boss as a whole but especially the ost for the second phase because those clicks and noises in the background sound just like the noise whales make and i freaking LOVE IT, like i don’t know if they used noises from actual whales or if they artificially recreated them but it sounds SO GOOD. Now, i will admit that i would have preferred if the whispers were quieter so that the whale sounds can be heard better (that’s why i have a slight bias to the 2nd leaked version of this OST where there are no whispers) but even if the whale sounds cannot be heard very clearly this theme is still a 100/10 for me, sure, objectively speaking it may not be as good as "Polumnia Omnia" , "God-devouring mania" or other themes, but i don’t care about objectivity when it comes to this theme because it’s just such an absolute BANGER.

16:40 your reaction was exactly like mine i just sat there with the same expression for a few seconds and almost got annihilated by the boss lmao

Hopefully this shows the community that losing Yu Peng wasn't the end of genshin's music quality.

16:46 when this part played during the fight and it synced perfectly with my Neuvillete using his burst was the exact moment I lost no nut november 🗿

the modern feel of the 2nd phase (edm) definitely fits this boss fight since Narwhal IS NOT FROM TEYVAT its literally a being that shouldn't exist in teyvat kinda like an alien

as much as rhapsodia rhoscida and polumnia omnia (scaramouche phase 1 and 2) will always be my favourite tracks, this track is really catchy imo. i love how some of the background sounds in phase 2 almost sound like whale calls and clicking and stuff. i also like how most abyss related enemies/characters in the game have dubstep/edm themes lol.

I really like edm, but I’m glad it only appears in a specific part of the boss fight, as the classical is awesome

I really like that Hoyomix is trying something new. It really fits the boss, and even though I’m not usually into this type of music I can’t deny that this slaps hard.

The music did a great job on putting pressure on me during the fight It made me feel like an ant in front of a unstoppable disaster

I love love LOVE that the music begins when the whale appears with the same theme we hear from Childe's boss music when he's using his Abyss powers, and then when Childe shows up it changes to the Fatui motif.

I played through the entire quest yesterday and when I made it to the boss finally I instantly was like "Oh holy shit, Marco you need to hear this B section" and then the B section hit the latter part and i lost my shit, the amount of counterpointing themes in this is so nuts in the sound design/instrumentation and the actual melody lines. Looking forward to seeing you play the actual story to get like, the full narrative experience

4:10 I was expecting this kind of reaction and was not disappointed 😂

10:45 the fatui-like in this song comes from tartaglia he is directly conected with the narwahl, and in latter cut-scenes he appears fighting with the narwahl

I love when the whale said “it’s whaling time” and whaled all over the place
