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"

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

16:46 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 🗿

That drop and silence in the third part literally made me stop breathing. In that moment my brain SHUT OFF and said: we're in danger, RUN.

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

The video you chose started halfway through phase 1 for some reason, so you literally listened to the middle of phase 1 and them the entire thing after lol

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

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

The alternate version of the Narwhal in this video is actually the one that is played in game. That first version was cut badly missing the whole scary buildup.

this boss theme is incredible, like, when you`re fighting against the narwahl, you`re not fighting, you`re surviving against such gargantuous beast, but when it swallow us and we have to fight a humanoid being that looks like a living blackhole on a arena that seems to be the end of times, it really hits diferent, before you were a witness of the narwahl, now you`re a victim, it set their mind on ending with your existance, and that EDM sounding so evil, from the depths of the unknown deep sea, really stakes on your mind the "Oh, now they`re serious..." XD

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

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.

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

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.
