Having the experience of hearing this motif in a pivotal moment of Void Stranger, then coming back and playing ZR just to get slapped by this song during a tense fight felt insanely empowering in a way I haven’t felt in a looong time in a game, this shit kicks so much ass.
well actually they were playing ascended which adds double damage, however the mod makes the boss have double damage, on top, they’re overcharmed, making for a whopping 8 masks of damage in just ONE hit, thank god for that ninth mask

It's named for what you feel after hearing it for the 500th time, dying without continues left, and realizing you need to do the whole fucking amoeba section again, the single most boring sequence in this game.
@@humpsterthedumpster3653 its in my playlist so ive been listening to it close enogh. You might be right, its energetic yet anxious. Though despair should be oppressive to my point while this track at some parts might be considered even "easygoing" The thing is that desperate is not the music but boss itself ^^
god i died so many times to this boss, but after two failed true end runs (i clued into backing up my save file the second time), i got to the point where i was able to clear her with 5 continues left HOW DO PEOPLE DO THIS WITHOUT CHARGE SHOT THOUGH?
Honestly I laugh at the word "despair" now that I've beaten this boss (and Sacred Defender too) multiple times. And that's the essence of the human spirit, isn't it? Laughing in the face of hopelessness and never giving up, staying strong 'til the end. Do the impossible, see the invisible, row row fight the powah!
whenever it reaches 1:11 i see hands flying all over the screen trying to squish me in their palms and i keep on charging my shot so that ill stay invincible xDD until i get hit...then i have to wait for it to go back to normal again

Buddhism is about escaping a cycle of life and death. You're believed to always reincarnate until you find the way out by abandoning the self, at least so I recall.
only took me one game over. And at least i only have to fondle some balls for another chance to fight god. The worse part however, is trying to conserve your continues so you will have less of a bad time with the ultimate risk in going for the true ending! I have not done it yet, but i will soon!
Oh yeah, i just did the true ending on my first try! It was not as hard as the final boss thank goodness, but it's SCUREAH!! I did not wanna lose my whole save file to this ass, and by the final hit, i was being gang banged by orbs and bullets until i had one life left! but then... it happened. I actually touched him the 5th and final time and yeeted him! Feels good man!
The one downside to everything being MIDI is that the game has so much control over how the music is played, so there don't need to be separate recordings for faster or slower versions of the same song. For that matter, pitch-shifting the track, too.
@@slavkei Actually, it's not MIDI. I pulled apart a few things and it's actually just a series of OGG files. For this song and its sister track, they are named: "bgm_despair1.ogg" and "bgm_despair2.ogg" respectively.
@@EleventhFloorBelfry Huh! And here I thought they were still in MIDI form in the game. At least, I assume the original recordings were made from MIDI files, given the sound of the game.
i only did that because it's my favorite track and i was feeling like it, i dont think most of the tracks would work anyways, this one's special because it's basically the same song repeated twice
@@fullanalysis93 as they are both video game music I believe you can compare them. People just have different opinions. Sometimes people say you can't compare stuff because they can't bare to hear other people have a different preference to them regarding certain things.
@@fullanalysis93 They're even quite similar in style and structure for the most part. I'd say megalovania has a plain better written main melody for one. But god damn the flute, especially that cliche ass progression in the second half of it, is fantastic here. I don't think megalovania has any variation on this level.
Megalovania was a track for an Earthbound fan-album that used the Earthbound soundfont. It then got re-recorded for a Homestuck fan album. It then got used as the music for a bonus boss in the "Are you actually that bored with your life" boss in Undertale. It's not at all comparable to a completely new creation for a completely new game that doesn't have to try to keep the feel or soundfont of the Super Nintendo era.
"MIDI flutes will never go hard"
1:10:
What's the context?
@Jeremy Bouwhuis thanks
thats why im here
Good grief, and here I thought I was the only one who got hooked on this game purely because of that meme XD
Lmao that's also how I found this ost
Dying because you got slapped is so demoralizing, lol
And getting hit after still COUNTERING the hit is worse
@@that1gamurguy-91 c-countering?! eeeeh
For the song being called "Despair", I've never felt the power of the indomitable human spirit this strongly before.
could be the despair of the final boss in its futile attempt to defeat the human spirit 🔥
"Wait, DID I JUST PARRY THE FINAL BOSS??"
And then with the swords you can fling the parry sparks back at her for even more damage, this game has so much ridiculous awesome shit in it, I can't wait for the major update they've been working on!

Void Stranger is amazing
The MIDI flute solo is the best part of this song
best song
yes
best boss
My bad dream song
Best girl
Doing this fight Zero-Ranger only is fucking crazy and I recommend everyone try it out at least once.
Given how much I enjoy parrying the sword attacks, maybe I really should try it.
Ranger only? That was my entire strategy from the beginning
never did it any different
wait using your mech is a viable strat I just used downward thrusters and baited melee attacks like a dumbass.
The fact that they continue this leitmotif into VS is incredible
What specifically are you referring to here OST wise?
Each of the Lily themes in void stranger carry a bit of the despair leitmotif, with "My Guiding Star" making it incredibly apparent@@RinaSheepdog
The MIDI flute solo slapped so hard that I game-overed the first time I heard it because of how floored I was
This boss kicked my ass so many times, but I will still say that this is the BEST boss I've ever fought in a videogame.
The glorious zunpets
the villain turning out to be some naked girl is my biggest wtf moment in gaming
Yea bro I got to the final boss during school time in a hella boring class, lets just say I shut off zeroranger real quick then.
A giant naked girl mech piloted by an OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORB.
This game needs to make it to GDQ one day just for the orb memes.
Yeah i was ready for the final boss to be some giant old man sitting in a throne
First time, huh?
Asuka Langley Soryu By Sprite, Rei Ayanami By Actions. NGE Moment.
*stops your 1cc*
**slaps your 1cc
man i'm not even good enough to clear 1-2 without continues
My favorite part of the song Is when the flute kicks in as the song takes on a more somber tone.
if this fight was the whole game it would still be great. but it also included the other 99% of the game.
"GOOD GREIF SHE'S NAKED"
I was never into touhou style songs so I can’t believe I like this track so much.
What is touhou?

Something u wud fuk

Shit taste :)
Despair did in fact await me.
The first time I defeated this boss my PC froze and I had to do it again
i feel you.
I have bad news for when you play the stage after this battle...
When you survive a radiant strike in hollow knight
*radiant nightmare king one hit from death* 0:00
well actually they were playing ascended which adds double damage, however the mod makes the boss have double damage, on top, they’re overcharmed, making for a whopping 8 masks of damage in just ONE hit, thank god for that ninth mask
Is this from somebody's playthrough or something?

HOW DO PEOPLE DO THIS WITHOUT CHARGE SHOT THOUGH?
very carefully
By using the sord
Drill.
Gun.
Just DODGE!!
This song kinda reminds of a mix between Touhou and Golden Sun.
@David Graves it def has those mushihimesama elements to it with the vocals and some of the chords
Definitely
And Kirby.
oh yeah, the ZUNpets
Personally i hear TMNT Turtles In Time
song gives me nightmares now
i assume the trumpet kicking in is meant to represent the pilot character going OH GOD OH FU--
Huh. What a great song to show up in my recommended
In this boss fight, ZUN punishes us for not playing Touhou instead of Zeroranger.

Blatant ZUNpets. I love it.
1:11 is epic
That flute sounds very Secret of Mana-ish
Did the flute just go hard?
The space shawty strikes again
Literally throwing hands
Straight banger
The moment you get all your continues literally bitchslapped out of you and have to start over if you want any chance of surviving the TLB
Pale prince: *So you have chosen death*
Ayy you came from there too
I like the idea that all the people commenting Hollow Knight on this video played both games because of Dunkey’s recommendation.
i really dont understand the story in this game
Read up on buddhism I suppose.
DUDE
BUDDHISM
LMAO
It has a lot of themes around buddhism, particularly Nirvana, reinacarnation, and the wheel of reincarnation/Samsara (and its pain)

Really not complete without the sound of the first dharmachakra attack at the beginning
BEST FUCKING FINAL BOSS THEME!!!!
Incredible turbo banger
Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being ?
Or something else from some touhou fangame I don't even remember.
