Khamsin: -DLC BOSS -All his Coworkers Hate Him -Doesn't Even Understand His Own Ideology -Whoooped By A Robot That's Explicitly Said To Be Poor At Combat -Drops The Hardest Track In The Whole Game -Refuses To Elaborate -Leaves
I mean as he says "Without a compass the soldier knows no disgrace" "Waiting to heed your instruction" "Freedom is calling to all men who bend their will", he is doing what he has always done as a soldier, following someone else. This time he has a choice it seems
"Without a compass, a soldier knows no disgrace" Really hard to remember this song plays in the battle between an advanced Boston dynamics dog, and a mechazord paraplegic.
To everyone clowning on poor Khamsin for never even being mentioned, the song basically addresses this. He's just another soldier, explicitly faceless and invisible with no will of his own. All the other Winds have a reason to fight, whether it's for a greater cause like Mistral or just because he enjoys it like Sundowner. Khamsin is following the herd, like the other cyborgs you slaughter by the dozen, and this recieves no recognition.
1:19 i was humming this song to myself and accidentally mixed up "destruction" with "instruction" here, and i just imagine Khamsin being a very enthusiastic teacher while saying that.
Intetesting factoid: this song has the same melody as the line "the unenlightened masses" from "collective consciousness", signifying that the soldier parrots the commands and sentiments of his superiors.
God a terrifying thought, soldier parrots? Psychological warfare at its best if you can find a way to use them as spy's and then send them to the battlefield
I think the song is about the "freedom" of giving up your personal freedom and identity to someone else. If you don't have to worry about your own moral compass, you become capable of anything, after all.
It is also the perfect opposite to blade wolf. Blade wolf desires to be its own individual and search for his own freedom and purpose. Khasim considers himself already free by becoming a tool for desperado and losing his independence
Love him or hate him, make fun of his beliefs or personality or story you cannot deny he has one of the coolest songs with the most sad but coolest lyrics ever.
I may be completely late, but what if Khamsin was a victim of an IED or mine field accident. He has no legs. He was once a soldier but was probably left alone and helpless due to how soldiers are treated in society. So Desperado came to him with a proposal; Fight for us, have a purpose, and gain more than the ability to just walk. Do what you were born to do. Fight! ...idk just a thought
I really like your theory, but his backstory is sadly not as tragic/complex. Khamsin was a former Marine who first served active duty during the Gulf War, he was once a loyal soldier who greatly contributed to the success of Operation Desert Sabre, but his lack of flexibility and disastrous personality caused internal troubles within his own team, ultimately leading to his discharge during the Iraq War. Khamsin became a private military contractor afterward and used the majority of his income to turn himself into a cyborg. His large cyborg body deviates from the regular humanoid image by essentially being more of a large mech.
I was wondering "man,why does such a banger like the hot wind blowing go to such a goober like khamsin" And besides of the obvious "metal gear rising is not allowed to have songs that aren't total jams" Then i stopped to think for a moment I think that's the point Khamsin likely has a interesting backstory all of his own,he is after all the only full-blooded American in the desperados,and he also is completely crippled from the waist down.with a giant Mecha for a wheelchair. And he died because Mistral was bored.no one cared that he was gone,no one even mentioned him after his death And the whole song seemed to be at least for me about the paradox of how soldiers are both the most important tools that society has to employ on times of conflict,and also the most disposable, interchangeable and easily replaceable part of any army
How id intepret the lyrics would be close to this, here i am dirty and faceless : Being on the frontlines doing his duty. Waiting to heed your instructions: Believing that by following Armstrong hed be able to fight for freedom which seems to be his most defining character trait. On my own: Not being recognized as one of the winds of destructions and thus having no camraderie from any of them. Invisible warrior: feeling unnoticed and unrespected, which is likely true since no one cares when he dies for mistrals whims. I am a wind of destruction: How he sees himself as an equal to the rest of the winds.
Ok, but just imagine if this guy was in the base game where you normally fight Monsoon. Imagine how much more impact Sam’s remarks about morality could’ve been if they were followed up by forcing the player to fight Khasmin, who legitimately believes he’s fighting for a noble cause.
That would be nice but it kinda contradicts the character’s point as a naive man who was used and replaceable soldier who was never mentioned again or cared for by his comrades.
I don't know if I'd want him to replace Monsoon's boss battle. Maybe put him somewhere as you're fighting all the Denver officers? That whole scene with Sam on all the screens would be a good spot for him to mention how he killed a soldier fighting for what he believed in
i know, right? i love how much the metal gear rising OST allows for interpretations of the game's story; theres so many lines that can have double meaning. its honestly really cleverly made, even a song like "red sun" thats made for a guy with an outlook as simple as sundowner is filled with double meaning and has a lot of room for interpretation. its a game where all its aspects have so much synergy and add to the other aspects of it a good example for a line with double meaning is something like the line "invisible warrior", cause it could apply to how nobody gave a shit about khamsin ever, or he could be talking to blade wolf and how he uses stealth takedowns on khamsin. this is one of my favorite video game stories and i love seeing all the different meanings that a bunch of complete strangers are able to take from this game, when given songs that have that room for interpretation & while attached to a story thats so driven by the characters and their motives. you'd never get this kind of experience pre-internet
FuzzyKnighter27, at dlc, they just captured this point, at main story, they already been there for 3 weeks or so and dealing with someone we need to capture, but sudenly, he explode himself.
i like that "easter egg" of wolf singing in the middle of the music, and making his own a vision of what the music is trying to says while he also says what he always thought about all this "I Don't know what i've be told, but the wishes of the people can't be controlled"
I don't hear the don't, I think it's I know what I've been told. And that makes sense for Khamsin too, he is a soldier and is instructed to go to war by his country. Which is not always but often in some way from the wishes of the people, and while they don't get controlled they are manipulated
Khamsin side is of i don't know what im doing here exactly, but the people demand freedom and i Will give them while Wolf is about not understanding why he's doing all of this but knowing that they can't suppress what the people want, in which cadê is freedom, pretty similar but completely diferent ideologies. If you didn't understand i don't blame you, im terrible at explaining things
The message of the song is that you'd probably call the bastardization of freedom. And in the song it tries to justify on why Khamsin and others like him on why they fight. But at the same time some parts of it does not shy away from being brutal and malicous. Like the part "we don't need medals, for all the men we killed". The song can also be interpreted as the words that Khamsin says to Bladwolf
@Acceleration Quanta morality leads to more progress. Fym, dictatorships lead to a rigid structure that will be broken in some years anyway if it’s not big and influential enough.
Actually listening to the lyrics, this is probably my favorite WoD theme now (formerly Monsoon's.) The fight though.... He cockily boasts about being a desert vet, his name is The Desert Storm... Yet all you need is ~4 smoke grenades to lob at him every time he pounces down NOWHERE near you. Like seriously... sandstorms; no big. Smoke; well shit....
You don't even need to do that. Just jump and keep spam triangle and cross. He can't hit you most likely lol. Only threat while doing that is when he jumps and try to hit you with his giant axe. And you can easily parry that.
Given the theme of this song seems to basically be about the faceless and forgotten expendable soldiers who fought under the orders of someone else, I shall leave this comment here as a memorial to all the nameless forgotten soldiers in the thousands of years of humanity’s conflicts who were fighting under someone else’s ideals and orders. If only they all got the chance to listen to this banger.
"i don't know what I've been told but the wishes of the people can't be controlled" hows no one talking about this part it feels like as if the singer was singing in pain i love it
They don’t actually contradict each other. They’re both saying the same thing; about having others (the state/government) give an ideology for people to fight for. Basically, what Armstrong wants to destroy. Collective Consciousness tells people to let their country tell them what to think, but this song is from the perspective of the soldier who has already done that. He fights for “freedom” as dictated by the one he takes orders from, and the contradiction of forcing people to bow down for that freedom is deliberate; the freedom the soldier fights for is just an excuse by the country to motivate them.
If Mistral hadn't set blade wolf loose, killing Khamsin and half their forces, Raiden wouldn't have been able to just waltz in like he did. Rip Khamsin, only innocent of the winds of destruction.
Each individual bullet is valuable in war, but for the person with the gun, they are nothing more than 1 more expendable bullet The same is for soldiers sadly, the countries just sees 1 expendable soldier where someone who has a family and a life stands, Khamsin's theme is a cry for that situation he probably had to live though as a soldier, even if most probably he himself didn't realize so in his life
I love how every other WoD theme is just like: “I am a deeply burdened person who has been forced here in some way” and then Khamsin is just like: “Jesus CHRIST I’m so cool!”
I never actually played the DLC. Heard this song plenty though. From what I've read, it sounds like Khamsin's flaw is more that he genuinely doesn't realize he's a puppet. He put his total faith in a higher cause than himself, but never quite figured out that the people he served were never worth serving. Just an outside perspective - obviously I don't actually know.
@@imapseudonym6198 I personally believe, he actually knows wtf he’s doing (atrocities,massacres, etc..) but uses bat shit insane justification for it. He follows orders because it helps him commit more horrible shit but reconfirm that he’s actually not insane and wants to pursue his “freedom” bs dream. Unlike other desperados where they thrive in the moral degeneracy of their plans.
Throughout the game we see the debate about the free will, and how it is interpreted in each of the characters (Raiden and his freedom of revenge, Sam losing his freedom and identity by joining Desperado, Mistral obtaining freedom to kill, etc. . ). While with the debate between BladeWolf and Khamsim, we see the fight for individual freedom and collective freedom. Blade Wolf only seeks his own freedom, as he is opposed to following orders for something he doesn't see any point in. While Khamsim, being the soldier that he is, follows orders without question, ignoring and dissipating his freedom to fight for the freedom of his superiors (freedom to have war economy lol)
Kind of a shame you can't fight him in the main game, would have been awesome if a Body Double of him was a secret boss, like the mandatory boss battles against the Mistral and Monsoon Body Doubles.
Now that I think about it, the line “without a compass, the soldier knows no disgrace” is pretty damn sad. Khasim is someone who doesn’t have guidance, someone or something like a compass to guide him down the right path, meaning he has no way to tell whether or not he’s walking down the right path, or the wrong one. Meaning he doesn’t need to feel shame or disgrace for what he’s done, soon as he is clueless to the path he takes. Honestly though, we need some continuation of this man’s story, his song tells his story so well you just can’t resist being interested in the kind of man who is called an invisible warrior, a guy who climbs his way to the top only to be forgotten in an instant. I don’t know, I just wanna see the who he was and how he got so far.
its funny cause ,both Bladewolf and Khamsin were trying to attain their versions of freedom ,while being under orders LOL .even though this bossfight was short ,i could empathize with this dude ,definitely the least crazy of all the Winds lol
You shouldn't have. This bastard was a grade A hypocrite. Sprinkling "freedom," into his words trying to convey that he is the freedombringer was just him lying to himself and everyone else. In reality, the second Blade Wolf tried to fight for his freedom, Khamsin got pissed and followed the orders to slay him. Fucker deserved what he got.
Remember, though, he only barely understood what they were doing there. It's all but outright stated that Mistral lied to him about their goals in that operation and had him killed by Wolf specifically to cover it up.
IM FUCKING INVI-..... Wait...... Mind if i cu......Wait..... uhhhh..... Nanomac...... -_-.... Hmmm...... The mem....... Fuck..... Used to pla......... Oh i got one " TIME FOR JACK, TO LET HER RIP!"
"FREEDOM IS CALLING TO ALL MEN WHO BEND THEIR WILL " That line resonated so fuking deply my soul... Im actually financially free, and i obtained it, directly with hard school Discipline, bending my own desires and Will to my greater cause. I can't express with words what I feel each time I hear that line... It's like God itself knowledging the results of have being a "good soldier" of him all this time.
@@gagecole4913 to be financially free, after years and years of suffering and pain i have now so many money now that i don't even know how much it is 😅 , I'm working now on other important things for my life like family, health etc
So apparently the whole meaning behind the song is it is supposed to point light to the ideology of the soldier in war taking orders and obeying them regardless of ideas regardless of ideals regardless of corruption, morals, and results the soldier does what he's told much like in Star wars a good soldier follows orders and in the lyrics the "soldier knows no disgrace" and "here i am dirty and faceless waiting to heed your instruction" points to that very point it's almost tragic in a way because in war one soldier means nothing they are "faceless" and "dirty" they are dirtyed by war until they are home, if they make it home
And if you Listen close enough to the lyrics explains the dilemma some soldiers have to go through it's why I have sympathy for this character cuz he just seemed patriotically blinded
… Why did you leave off the last part of the lyrics? Without a compass The soldier knows no disgrace It’s about how a soldier convinces themself they don’t have to feel shame or remorse for their deeds when they let go of their moral compass and just let their commanders order them around. Without the last line, “Without a compass” holds no meaning.
Something kinda odd during khamsin’s fight, is that when he’s stunned, it doesn’t say BMI Error like the other humanoids, but AI Error. Is Khamsin infused into the machine, making him more A than I, or is Khamsin an AI entirely?
That... Honestly sounds horrifying. The idea that Khamsin might've just been some kid's head in a jar infused inside of some synth made to vaguely resemble a human's body and voice with memories of a combatant makes it even more fucked up. It also explains his childish beliefs and overall mannerisms. He's a brainwashed test subject given a rather large "graduation present" by Desperado.
@@ttpbroadcastingcompany.4460 don't worry lol, khamsin modifed his body to become a giant robot by himself and wasn't forced, not even by health reasons
I just realized that his name is a reference to the khamsin (arabic word for fifty) winds, insanely dusty winds that pass through the middle east over a 50 day period in the spring. His lyrics make so much more sense now!
A bit of analysis, also trying to define the theme of the whole song. I didn't play the DLC, so I don't know much about the actual guy in question. "The hot wind blowing, Jagged lines across the sand The crumbling buildings In our minds are all that stand" These four lines describe how combat changes a person. The experience is very strong. "Just like the buffalo, Blindly following the herd We try to justify All the things that have occured" Individual soldiers might question their actions, but the herd mentality pushes them to rationalise them instead. "Heat of the desert Dust settles on my face Without a compass The soldier knows no disgrace" This part is about someone who is largely lost and don't know much about what they are doing, but they are not supposed to, since they are soldiers. So they simply carry out their tasks without thinking much about it. "Out of the ashes The eagle rises still Freedom is calling To all men who bend their will" Obvious american/Armstrong influnce here. "Here I am, Dirty and faceless Waiting to heed your instruction" These lines describe selfless loyalty towards the leader. "Here I am, Invisible warrior I am a wind of destruction" "Invisible warrior" here means that he is left unnoticed as an individual. Also notice he says "A wind of destruction", and not "The". The person associates himself with a group and takes his pride in 'being a part of something bigger'. "We fight for justice In a forgotten place Fullfill our duty, Then vanish without a trace" Perhaps "vanish without a trace" here means the same as being an invisible warrior. This contrasts with their hardships/sacrifice (fighting in a forgotten place) and once again points towards the selflessness of the regular soldier. "Don't need a medal For all the men we kill Freedom is calling To all men who bend their will" Here, it is stated that the killings are not done just for the sake of it, but for the sake of on idea, which comes from the Senator. "I don't know what I've been told, But the wishes of the people can't be controlled" To me this actually sounds something along the lines "I don't really know what communism is about, but I hate billionaires". It sounds silly, but makes sense in this context. Soldiers don't think much for themselves, they have no compass of their own. So they adopt a simple idea, and then go on to justify/rationalise it. Then keep it as a herd, further strengthening it and using it to motivate themselves.
I don't think it's saying that. It's just stating that a soldier is exactly the opposite of that, and that's what Khasim is. It does not paint him as evil, but as a warmachine that kills men for justice, under orders that he doesn't even fully understand.
Both songs speak about freedom but either theme has the exact opposite description of it. Blade wolf's theme is about rejecting the ideals of other and branch off them to gain your own independence and purpose.thus becoming a free from others Khasim's about becoming free by letting go of your morality or individually.by becoming a tool all you need to worry about its the duty casted upon you.everything else is permitted
Imagine if for Sam’s “interview” he had to kill Khamsin to make sure he had a spot for himself in the wind’s of destruction Final Boss woulda ended waaaaay different
Just like a desert storm, Khamsin only lasted a short while, before disappearing and making no mark on Raiden. We don't even hear of him in the main game, and I find it ironic how he prides himself on being a Wind of Destruction, and yet his teammates literally don't care for him.
If you still don't understand the meaning of this song. Listen to Armor clad faith. They have the same meaning. And they are theme of a soldier who fulfill their duty because they know its not right, but that's all they can do. Follow orders they don't fully understand and hope for the best
His nature is to be a soldier. He rose from the ashes and as a veteran society rejected him. Is there disgrace in killing soldiers exactly like you? Those who blindly follow instructions. Are they any more innocent than you? You know you are a bastard not worthy of a redemption and so are your enemies, PMCs - mercenaries. Noone is waiting them back with open arm. They must have had nothing back home to join a fight god knows in what forgotten place. And even if there is someone waiting, they would not receive the man they once knew. When the emotion suppressants clear, the shells hock catches up to you.
I think something added here is that khamsin actually believes in the end goal but doesn’t actually care about it but use it as justification to commit atrocities and reconfirm he isn’t insane.
@@feister2869 I think Khamsin does actually care about freedom, but he's just so convinced that he's doing the right thing that he'll justify doing horrible things in order to achieve it.
No! No! I can't let this happen! This is MY theme MINE! That little Mutt ruined everything, HE RUINED EVERYTHING! He can't take this from me to! I won't let it happen!
I am physically incapable of understanding how this game can ever be surpassed - not even Quiet's thicc Thighs can clap hard enough to silence these sick beats.
He believes that Armstrong fights for freedom. He is a soldier and he do what a soldier does. He maybe the stupid but you gotta respect the man. He's just in the wrong side
Yeah honestly I like to believe that he was just a soldier who was very good at his job and got hired by desperado and was strong enough to become a Wind of Destruction, but lacked all the intellect and social skills of the others, getting himself killed by Blade Wolf in a scenario orchestrated by Mistral.
That’s the flaw. He’s a dirty and faceless “soldier” who lost his moral compass on what he thinks is right and uses batshit insane justification to commit massacres and atrocities. A used and replaceable man who wasn’t cared for by their comrades or was anywhere mentioned in the main game. It correlates to real life but is more soft.
Without a compass the soldier knows no disgrace - That's immoral!” War crime-this, Code of Conduct-that… Kids you can mold, manipulate into performing all kinds of atrocities

I think the song is about the "freedom" of giving up your personal freedom and identity to someone else. If you don't have to worry about your own moral compass, you become capable of anything, after all.
Ooo this is a spicy take. “I was just following orders”, rings true to this day.
A true "Soldier" has no morals, they kill without anger and judgement. All that should matter to a Soldier, is finishing the Mission.
It is also the perfect opposite to blade wolf.
Blade wolf desires to be its own individual and search for his own freedom and purpose.
Khasim considers himself already free by becoming a tool for desperado and losing his independence

I've listened to this song around a hundred times and I've never thought of it that way, interesting!
Really? How can i do that Easter egg?
@Dominotik Ivan Tulovskiy i mist have heard the atleast a good 20 times
I don't hear the don't, I think it's I know what I've been told. And that makes sense for Khamsin too, he is a soldier and is instructed to go to war by his country. Which is not always but often in some way from the wishes of the people, and while they don't get controlled they are manipulated
Khamsin side is of i don't know what im doing here exactly, but the people demand freedom and i Will give them while Wolf is about not understanding why he's doing all of this but knowing that they can't suppress what the people want, in which cadê is freedom, pretty similar but completely diferent ideologies.
If you didn't understand i don't blame you, im terrible at explaining things
The message of the song is that you'd probably call the bastardization of freedom. And in the song it tries to justify on why Khamsin and others like him on why they fight. But at the same time some parts of it does not shy away from being brutal and malicous. Like the part "we don't need medals, for all the men we killed". The song can also be interpreted as the words that Khamsin says to Bladwolf
I think that line could be either
interpreted as pride or humility or both for commiting those actions but it is brutal
none the less
@@sbeveloaf1120 I personally believe that the song is the deconstruction of the justifications given to commit atrocities.

Actually listening to the lyrics, this is probably my favorite WoD theme now (formerly Monsoon's.)
The fight though.... He cockily boasts about being a desert vet, his name is The Desert Storm... Yet all you need is ~4 smoke grenades to lob at him every time he pounces down NOWHERE near you. Like seriously... sandstorms; no big. Smoke; well shit....
You don't even need to do that. Just jump and keep spam triangle and cross. He can't hit you most likely lol. Only threat while doing that is when he jumps and try to hit you with his giant axe. And you can easily parry that.

Given the theme of this song seems to basically be about the faceless and forgotten expendable soldiers who fought under the orders of someone else, I shall leave this comment here as a memorial to all the nameless forgotten soldiers in the thousands of years of humanity’s conflicts who were fighting under someone else’s ideals and orders.

this song contests collective consciousness
@Noroi Kisaragi Damn i just noticed that this song is about giving freedom and colletive is about taking away free will
They don’t actually contradict each other. They’re both saying the same thing; about having others (the state/government) give an ideology for people to fight for. Basically, what Armstrong wants to destroy. Collective Consciousness tells people to let their country tell them what to think, but this song is from the perspective of the soldier who has already done that. He fights for “freedom” as dictated by the one he takes orders from, and the contradiction of forcing people to bow down for that freedom is deliberate; the freedom the soldier fights for is just an excuse by the country to motivate them.
KeiosKod I didn't even think of it like that

The motif for collective consciousness is used in this song
The wishes of the people cant be controlled

Yes they can.... Unfortunatlly
If only that were true! But in reality, their wishes are easily controlled.
If Mistral hadn't set blade wolf loose, killing Khamsin and half their forces, Raiden wouldn't have been able to just waltz in like he did. Rip Khamsin, only innocent of the winds of destruction.
Not innocent at all, but certainly the most naive one.

1:04 always liked the parts from "here i am" to "I am a wind of DESTRUCTION"
1:07 this part will forever be my favorite part
Same
Each individual bullet is valuable in war, but for the person with the gun, they are nothing more than 1 more expendable bullet
The same is for soldiers sadly, the countries just sees 1 expendable soldier where someone who has a family and a life stands, Khamsin's theme is a cry for that situation he probably had to live though as a soldier, even if most probably he himself didn't realize so in his life
"Freedom is calling to all man who bends their will." I honestly just love how paradoxical this part is.
I love how every other WoD theme is just like: “I am a deeply burdened person who has been forced here in some way” and then Khamsin is just like: “Jesus CHRIST I’m so cool!”
Best character moment.
Sundowner too
I never actually played the DLC. Heard this song plenty though. From what I've read, it sounds like Khamsin's flaw is more that he genuinely doesn't realize he's a puppet. He put his total faith in a higher cause than himself, but never quite figured out that the people he served were never worth serving.
Just an outside perspective - obviously I don't actually know.
@@imapseudonym6198 I personally believe, he actually knows wtf he’s doing (atrocities,massacres, etc..) but uses bat shit insane justification for it. He follows orders because it helps him commit more horrible shit but reconfirm that he’s actually not insane and wants to pursue his “freedom” bs dream. Unlike other desperados where they thrive in the moral degeneracy of their plans.
@@feister2869 he is not thag selfish in his intentions. he also craves to give freedom to others as he is sincere in backing the Abkhazian freedom.
MGRR is literally just American anime
Throughout the game we see the debate about the free will, and how it is interpreted in each of the characters (Raiden and his freedom of revenge, Sam losing his freedom and identity by joining Desperado, Mistral obtaining freedom to kill, etc. . ).
While with the debate between BladeWolf and Khamsim, we see the fight for individual freedom and collective freedom.
Blade Wolf only seeks his own freedom, as he is opposed to following orders for something he doesn't see any point in.
While Khamsim, being the soldier that he is, follows orders without question, ignoring and dissipating his freedom to fight for the freedom of his superiors (freedom to have war economy lol)
With this sick of a theme, my man Khamsin deserved a better fight
The hot wind is blowing,
the old mind is blowing.
The fat chick is blowing.
Kind of a shame you can't fight him in the main game, would have been awesome if a Body Double of him was a secret boss, like the mandatory boss battles against the Mistral and Monsoon Body Doubles.
But it would kinda contradict his characters point. A soldier who wasn’t recognised but used and easily replaced.
@@feister2869 Unless you fought a few, weaker BDs, to prove that he is just an easily-replaced soldier.
Now that I think about it, the line “without a compass, the soldier knows no disgrace” is pretty damn sad. Khasim is someone who doesn’t have guidance, someone or something like a compass to guide him down the right path, meaning he has no way to tell whether or not he’s walking down the right path, or the wrong one. Meaning he doesn’t need to feel shame or disgrace for what he’s done, soon as he is clueless to the path he takes. Honestly though, we need some continuation of this man’s story, his song tells his story so well you just can’t resist being interested in the kind of man who is called an invisible warrior, a guy who climbs his way to the top only to be forgotten in an instant. I don’t know, I just wanna see the who he was and how he got so far.
*OH GOD OH GOD*
Why did I feel sorry for him?
I mean he's not that bad of a guy all he did was follow orders even though he thought he was fighting for people's freedom....
its funny cause ,both Bladewolf and Khamsin were trying to attain their versions of freedom ,while being under orders LOL .even though this bossfight was short ,i could empathize with this dude ,definitely the least crazy of all the Winds lol
You shouldn't have. This bastard was a grade A hypocrite. Sprinkling "freedom," into his words trying to convey that he is the freedombringer was just him lying to himself and everyone else. In reality, the second Blade Wolf tried to fight for his freedom, Khamsin got pissed and followed the orders to slay him.
Fucker deserved what he got.
Remember, though, he only barely understood what they were doing there. It's all but outright stated that Mistral lied to him about their goals in that operation and had him killed by Wolf specifically to cover it up.
You lacked the "brutality of a human."

Paraplegic man vs Pitbull named cupcake
Finally: hardcore joe swanson boss battle theme
"Freedom is calling to all men who bend their will" is probably the single hardest line I have ever heard in a video game song, holy shit.
So apparently the whole meaning behind the song is it is supposed to point light to the ideology of the soldier in war taking orders and obeying them regardless of ideas regardless of ideals regardless of corruption, morals, and results the soldier does what he's told much like in Star wars a good soldier follows orders and in the lyrics the "soldier knows no disgrace" and "here i am dirty and faceless waiting to heed your instruction" points to that very point it's almost tragic in a way because in war one soldier means nothing they are "faceless" and "dirty" they are dirtyed by war until they are home, if they make it home
Already knew
“Heat of the desert
Dust settles on my face
Without a compass”
This song is underrated
And if you Listen close enough to the lyrics explains the dilemma some soldiers have to go through it's why I have sympathy for this character cuz he just seemed patriotically blinded
… Why did you leave off the last part of the lyrics?
Without a compass
The soldier knows no disgrace
It’s about how a soldier convinces themself they don’t have to feel shame or remorse for their deeds when they let go of their moral compass and just let their commanders order them around. Without the last line, “Without a compass” holds no meaning.
@@TysonRex37 I was intending to replace the fourth part with “This song is underrated”
Something kinda odd during khamsin’s fight, is that when he’s stunned, it doesn’t say BMI Error like the other humanoids, but AI Error. Is Khamsin infused into the machine, making him more A than I, or is Khamsin an AI entirely?
That... Honestly sounds horrifying. The idea that Khamsin might've just been some kid's head in a jar infused inside of some synth made to vaguely resemble a human's body and voice with memories of a combatant makes it even more fucked up. It also explains his childish beliefs and overall mannerisms. He's a brainwashed test subject given a rather large "graduation present" by Desperado.
probably not, maybe his movements are assisted by an ai though, as mistral also had difficulty controlling many arms
@@ttpbroadcastingcompany.4460 don't worry lol, khamsin modifed his body to become a giant robot by himself and wasn't forced, not even by health reasons
Khamsin has a bmi error just like the rest, what you're thinking of is blade wolf's error
It would be horrifying to think he is more robotic than Monsoon, which is only one step above the brain in a jar.
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there something really neat about the bit at 0:37. It sounds like a mech starting up or something.
I just realized that his name is a reference to the khamsin (arabic word for fifty) winds, insanely dusty winds that pass through the middle east over a 50 day period in the spring.
His lyrics make so much more sense now!
Everyone in the Winds of destruction has a name based on a type of wind actually.

Fucking khamsin should have been in the main story, right after Raiden lands on shore, and this music got pumpin´, when i imagine that...*GAMING GASM*
Right, the DLC of Bladewolf was correlated with Raiden. Thats why i said that he should have been in the MAIN STORY (Raiden story)
Lands on shore. "Huh okay everything seems calm." Khamsin lands right in front of Raiden in his mech. "NOPE NOPE NOPE"
Man why doesn’t the games soundtrack have this song on Spotify?
There’s 3 versions of every other track and not a single one of this one I hate it
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY
I WILL REND APART THE EARTH UNTIL THIS CAN BE IN MY PLAYLIST
A bit of analysis, also trying to define the theme of the whole song.
I didn't play the DLC, so I don't know much about the actual guy in question.
"The hot wind blowing,
Jagged lines across the sand
The crumbling buildings
In our minds are all that stand"
These four lines describe how combat changes a person. The experience is very strong.
"Just like the buffalo,
Blindly following the herd
We try to justify
All the things that have occured"
Individual soldiers might question their actions, but the herd mentality pushes them to rationalise them instead.
"Heat of the desert
Dust settles on my face
Without a compass
The soldier knows no disgrace"
This part is about someone who is largely lost and don't know much about what they are doing, but they are not supposed to, since they are soldiers. So they simply carry out their tasks without thinking much about it.
"Out of the ashes
The eagle rises still
Freedom is calling
To all men who bend their will"
Obvious american/Armstrong influnce here.
"Here I am,
Dirty and faceless
Waiting to heed your instruction"
These lines describe selfless loyalty towards the leader.
"Here I am,
Invisible warrior
I am a wind of destruction"
"Invisible warrior" here means that he is left unnoticed as an individual. Also notice he says "A wind of destruction", and not "The". The person associates himself with a group and takes his pride in 'being a part of something bigger'.
"We fight for justice
In a forgotten place
Fullfill our duty,
Then vanish without a trace"
Perhaps "vanish without a trace" here means the same as being an invisible warrior. This contrasts with their hardships/sacrifice (fighting in a forgotten place) and once again points towards the selflessness of the regular soldier.
"Don't need a medal
For all the men we kill
Freedom is calling
To all men who bend their will"
Here, it is stated that the killings are not done just for the sake of it, but for the sake of on idea, which comes from the Senator.
"I don't know what I've been told,
But the wishes of the people can't be controlled"
To me this actually sounds something along the lines "I don't really know what communism is about, but I hate billionaires". It sounds silly, but makes sense in this context. Soldiers don't think much for themselves, they have no compass of their own. So they adopt a simple idea, and then go on to justify/rationalise it. Then keep it as a herd, further strengthening it and using it to motivate themselves.
i love khamsin's boss battle because of this song. to hear the fast guitar play when you successfully backstabbed him is very satisfying
I like how it's talking about breaking off from "the herd" and making your own rules... the same theme that Wolf's song has
I don't think it's saying that. It's just stating that a soldier is exactly the opposite of that, and that's what Khasim is. It does not paint him as evil, but as a warmachine that kills men for justice, under orders that he doesn't even fully understand.
Both songs speak about freedom but either theme has the exact opposite description of it.
Blade wolf's theme is about rejecting the ideals of other and branch off them to gain your own independence and purpose.thus becoming a free from others
Khasim's about becoming free by letting go of your morality or individually.by becoming a tool all you need to worry about its the duty casted upon you.everything else is permitted
Wolf= fight for your own ideals to gain freedom.
Khamsin= you fight for freedom. Like a soldier
The same? same... same...

Just like a desert storm, Khamsin only lasted a short while, before disappearing and making no mark on Raiden. We don't even hear of him in the main game, and I find it ironic how he prides himself on being a Wind of Destruction, and yet his teammates literally don't care for him.

For me personally. I don’t hear the “don’t”.
If you still don't understand the meaning of this song. Listen to Armor clad faith. They have the same meaning. And they are theme of a soldier who fulfill their duty because they know its not right, but that's all they can do. Follow orders they don't fully understand and hope for the best
His nature is to be a soldier. He rose from the ashes and as a veteran society rejected him. Is there disgrace in killing soldiers exactly like you?
Those who blindly follow instructions. Are they any more innocent than you? You know you are a bastard not worthy of a redemption and so are your enemies, PMCs - mercenaries. Noone is waiting them back with open arm. They must have had nothing back home to join a fight god knows in what forgotten place.
And even if there is someone waiting, they would not receive the man they once knew. When the emotion suppressants clear, the shells hock catches up to you.
I think something added here is that khamsin actually believes in the end goal but doesn’t actually care about it but use it as justification to commit atrocities and reconfirm he isn’t insane.
@@feister2869 I think Khamsin does actually care about freedom, but he's just so convinced that he's doing the right thing that he'll justify doing horrible things in order to achieve it.

I am physically incapable of understanding how this game can ever be surpassed - not even Quiet's thicc Thighs can clap hard enough to silence these sick beats.
Nier Automata cannot surpass the memes.
He believes that Armstrong fights for freedom. He is a soldier and he do what a soldier does. He maybe the stupid but you gotta respect the man. He's just in the wrong side
Yeah honestly I like to believe that he was just a soldier who was very good at his job and got hired by desperado and was strong enough to become a Wind of Destruction, but lacked all the intellect and social skills of the others, getting himself killed by Blade Wolf in a scenario orchestrated by Mistral.
That’s the flaw. He’s a dirty and faceless “soldier” who lost his moral compass on what he thinks is right and uses batshit insane justification to commit massacres and atrocities. A used and replaceable man who wasn’t cared for by their comrades or was anywhere mentioned in the main game. It correlates to real life but is more soft.
