  • The Guardian of the Oasis, Apep, is a new weekly boss in Genshin Impact version 3.6. This fight serves as the climax and conclusion of the brand new Nahida story quest part 2, where we get an awesome cutscene and tons of new Genshin lore drops. I'm a drummer, and this is my reaction to the new Genshin Apep boss theme!
    It's been brought to my attention that this version of the song is not the official release, and has some differences from the official track, titled God Devouring Mania. However, the Hoyo-Mix upload of God Devouring Mania was uploaded AFTER I had already recorded this video, and that song has now been deleted from the Hoyo Mix official channel.

    *EDIT* - The official upload has been re-listed by Hoyo-Mix now, but either way, it wasn't there when I recorded and uploaded this video. Y'all gotta chill with dropping the same comment over and over telling me this isn't the official release 😅
    I'm getting a lot of people commenting about how the audio I listened to isn't the official release. Two things:
    1 - That release of God-Devouring Mania was done after I recorded this video, so I wouldn't have seen it anyway.
    2 - As of today, that release has since been deleted from the Hoyo-Mix channel and is so longer available. It was barely up for an hour when they unlisted it. Super weird!

    Despite other bosses, you are not fighting Apep for survival or to kill it, you are fighting him to heal and save him!
    I think the music shows this feeling: Is not as dark as others bosses, it has the same epicness, but with hope in it.
    At least that is the impression it brings to me.

    What is intetesting is that Apep is the name of an ancient spirit of evil, darkness and destruction in Egypt. As the arch enemy of the sun god, Ra, he is a malevolent force who can never be entirely vanquished. Every night, as the sun travels though the underworld (or across the sky), his roar will fill the air and he launches his attack.

    • @jtspender
      @jtspender ปีที่แล้ว +5

      That's not an Inazuma-specific theme, it's a variation on what a lot of people would consider Genshin's main theme. You can hear variations of it in many battle themes and character demos. To arbitrarily pick one, listen to the first few seconds of Diona's character demo.
