I like to think that the monolith represents parts of the precursor's history, we start with stone structures and murals of them and the light, and the more we progress more dark and abstract is the ambient and in the zenith is the actual state of that civilization, the witness
Well, the Witness is quite literally the Monolith itself. So we’re technically running thru the Witness itself until we get out of Verity, where we see where it’s placed itself upon a marrowed-out Tree of Silver Wings, amongst the debris and leftover artifacts from its incision inside the Traveler. But up to that point, we basically are running thru the Witness’s body, in a sense. And yeah, of course the rooms will be reminiscent of the Precursor’s own lost culture, of how they were somewhat similar to ancient Egyptians in their practices and architectures. The story behind the rooms and what the Witness is essentially trying to do in each of the rooms is especially fascinating as well, especially Verity.
@@twelved4983nope. It was confirmed the witness is not the whole monolith. Bungie said in a stream it’s just attached to it and we’re traversing the physical monolith
I really enjoy this new format. It gives an opportunity to listen to the track in it's entirety/gives an "extended" version of the track besides the "in game version" Promethean is doing (or has done until now, these videos will be dearly missed) So definitely a huge thank you/thanks y'all for making these videos and all the music archiving in general. Very, very much appreciated
i love the amount of stress this one is supposed to induce it matches the encounter pretty well since you're trying to speed through all of the rooms as fast as possible, kill the tormentors, and ping pong between plates all within 3 - 4 minutes another part also being the fact messing up or not doing well enough to dunk enough resonance can completely ruin a run probably my favorite track from the raid with herald's coming in at a very close second
When I was watching Aztecross’ team do this encounter for a few hours, I could hear this in the background and loved it. I’m glad it made its way to TH-cam. 😁
6:59, 11:16 easily the best part with the unveiled sound effect from beyond light. the sound effect used brings such angst and dread to the song and makes me feel like my guardian is engulfed in darkness, and dont have any way out and should just succumb to it
It's an opener to tell you: "Hey, the end of the universe as you know it is just around the corner, you CAN'T afford to waste time" (literally also considering you have a timer for every encounter)
"So confused... to find meaning in this pain. Fall upon our knife. Accept stillness... As Riis, as Fundament, as so many before you were ALLOWED to do. We are not bound by logic. We define its shape. We offer salvation from this... futile struggle."
@@scalyboi8918 illogical obstinance, Pain can be fleeting it can also be eternal... You fear answers, fear the truth you claim to seek. Look beyond this dying garden..or rot in entropy, each child we save from the game, you again force to play. You call us winnower. We are not. But the first knife clutched in its hand. God's forged us both, but they cannot tell the knife what shape to carve... Is this the chaos you so cherish?

The music sets the perfect tone with the encounter as you are put in a race against time to prevent the end of the world.
More than that, the end of the Universe....
This music is so good.
Literally every single encounter on this raid.
Average “starting assignment 30 minutes before it’s due” experience

I love how much weight that TFS motif has in this encounter, especially in high action

DMA and Promethean are the same people, DMA channel is more-so for raw music rather than the mixes n stuff that the Promethean channel has
DMA is Breshi, Promethean & Atlyx, isn’t it?

My favorite is verity's give yourself to darkness high action, with unmade high action coming second

One of my mates after succeeding first encounter :
- Damn, that was tough !
- But wait there is more, 4 encounters before Megamind
Lets gooooo been waiting for this one. tyty
Goes way too hard to be the first encounter
It's an opener to tell you: "Hey, the end of the universe as you know it is just around the corner, you CAN'T afford to waste time" (literally also considering you have a timer for every encounter)
"Still here."
Struggling against the cosmic tides, compared to which you are so... *Small.*
We sought an end to suffering, the tyranny of a universe that doesn't feel.
The audacity of that frightens you...
