On top of that, Tiamat is kind of this setting's Satan analogue. The greatest and fairest of Mother's guardians, tried to betray and mimic Mother, but ended up cast out from the others. Gotta love it when Satan is a hot lady.
She's kinda that way in the original Babylonian myths as well. Enuma Elish (the Mesopotamian creation myth), which parts of Genesis 1 were based off of, and which kinda could be a prototype Paradise Lost in a way, has a battle between Tiamat's army (basically what the eleven minibosses in the Dimensional Corridor were based off of) and Marduk (yes, the same Marduk who's referred to in Area 8's mantra), which ends with Marduk defeating Tiamat and using her body as raw material for the Earth.
Emphasis on "kinda", I think. It's true I haven't read the original Enuma Elish, but from what I know of the plot, a case could be made that the true villain isn't Tiamat or Marduk, or even Apsu, but Qingu, who seems to have manipulated everything (he incited both Apsu and Tiamat to fight the Anunnaki) to get the Tablets of Destiny for himself. (He ends up killed by Marduk to have raw materials for creating humanity.)
@@FireLordJohn3191 Umm, hello? That's only in the minds of creationists (aka, idiots). And I wouldn't waste my time trying to convert me. I'm pretty happy with my religious beliefs (mostly involving the worship of the Goddesses Ishtar and Tiamat).
Seriously though, Tiamat is awesome! I love her laser-boobs, crazy attack-hair, how she switched the Endless and Dimensional Corridors, how she created all those minibosses...hell, I even love her freaky-ass Game Faces! I love everything about her
Fun fact - this song's main motifs form up the theme of the true shrine of the mother. Whether or not this is intentional is up for debate, but i choose to believe it's symbolic of tiamat attempting to replicate the mother and her power.
Even though I know that this theme has nothing to do with Gilgamesh or Fate, imagine how intense a fight with the King of Heroes would be set to this theme
Just love that single violent drum hit that starts it.
Then she slams her hands down and means business.
~VIII~
/|\Tiamat/|\
~She strived to overthrow Mother herself~
This song in my mind is permanently stuck to the concept of calculus, quite fitting

@@EarthPhantomTS Genesis tells the true story of creation. There was no war among gods.

it's impossible not to like this music ... when I first saw her I was like holy crap she is a cool boss ....
This theme really fits the intensity and overall difficulty of this fight, and Tiamat's screams add a nice touch
I had health at max and the necessary apps active, so in normal she wasn't too much of a challenge.
Ended up fighting her twice, since I had to roll back a save after messing up the Hell Temple unlock sequence.

If you ask me, this theme is more epic than the last boss's theme.
By far

Call me crazy, but does anyone else think this could also work as a Wily Machine/Capsule boss theme?
Yeah, Crazy, I see what you mean (well, there's a part of this song that reminds me of Okkusanman at least)
Y'know, now that I listen to it more and more. It really could. Being an avid Mega-maniac myself. I totally agree with you
Also works as a boss theme for a Final Fantasy game.
Even though I know that this theme has nothing to do with Gilgamesh or Fate, imagine how intense a fight with the King of Heroes would be set to this theme
You know... Tiamat is in Fate, right?
@Y00bi yes I do
maybe the boss is easier but the battle looks and feels cooler in this one
Viy and Palenque are both substantially more difficult, but this is the best theme by far
This sounds like one of those custom clone hero bleepy songs that Acai would play.
Jump, axe, jump, axe, etc.
Sephiko you died
Don't forget the caltrop damage boost, unless you want to do the fight for real
@@lazeroussdomain5862 During a boss rush, sure. A casual replay? I wanna have a good fight. Also thanks for the ping 7 years later.
Kill.
I do
Definitely inspired by Mega Man X
Proposed retranslation of the title: "Dimensional Void"
Interstice, n. The empty space between two objects.
And "dimension" is just plain misspelled.
Actually it's not "dimension" as in a dimensional rift, but rather a variation on demented. So it's really "Rift of Delusion"
*Dimension
Actually it is spelled "Dimention" in the Enga Musica player in-game.
1 person died inside her cleave:D
Yes. :)
i still prefer this epic soundtrack over ff7s sephiroth LUL
If were going to do that... Dancing Mad is far better than One Winged Angel.
@@lazeroussdomain5862 You cant really surpass dancing mad when it comes to boss themes lol
Yeah.. I like the other version of this theme better though. It had a bitchin' guitar solo that moved into the background here.
