The spinal staircases leitmotif is probably the most unexpected one for me, and they make it feel like those levels up to Prime Sanctum 1 are basically yelling at you that prime minos is there. especially with the requiem leitmotif getting louder and stronger as you get to guts, then fading out/slowing down as you get further from P-1's enterance in Glory.

The requiem-order leitmotiv is beatiful, when i first noticed that theme from requiem in the Minos fight felt so epic but also melancholic, the shame in Minos soul because he failed to reform Lust
The requiem motif is by far my favorite tune to hum and I'm super glad it's in so many places with a big dumb smile on minos. Also really like how you edited this video down to matching the visual style and slowly having the music ramp up so it doesn't blast out your eardrums.
When I first heard *Requiem* I got huge nostalgia flashbacks to EBF and the wonderful music made by _Phyrnna,_ I think specifically it reminded me of *Blade & Switch* and a bit of *Those of Us Who Blossom!* in there aswell.
The Fire is Gone shares a leitmotif with The Fire is Gone I would have never guessed. Thanks for making this and playing enough of Order to remember how good of a track it is.

Since lietmotifs represent an idea or theme in a piece of media, i personally thing that the requiem lietmotif represents the tradgety of the fall of minos
I feel like it’s the overall dread of the lust layer. It used to be full of life, but now you’re going through a former husk of its glory, and now the guts of the king.
I absolutely cannot get enough of the Requiem leitmotif. Something about it and knowing Minos' background around Lust just makes it hit harder than THY END IS NOW
theres a reason why the entire lust layer is my favorite in the game, and this video very well demonstrates why. i love the story behind the lust layer and especially the music
Thank god you made this, I love music, but I am just dumb when it comes to this sort of thing. It really helps appreciate the kind of work that goes into the arrangement when you highlight something like this
It occurred to me while listening to this that, if I'm not mistaken, the chunk of "Glory" from 4:28 to 4:41 comes back as a leitmotif of its own in that bridge section of "Altars of Apostasy". Very neat, Hakita!
We can also hear (correct me if I'm wrong) a connection between requiem, cold winds and In the presence of a king with the drop sounding similar to each other, in the presence of a king for example has just a slowed down version of the requiem drop, the same thing applies to cold winds
How is it that I took AP Music Theory for *_2 FUCKING YEARS_* and never learned what a Leitmotif was but a fucking Ultrakill video taught me. God dammit, the U.S education system is 🅱️roke.
If Im correctly the distorted sounds playing at the end of the spinal staircase should also include the leitmotif. You may not notice the first time, but the distorted sounds also have a melody.
I loved noticing these myself first set I discovered was requiems I put them in a Playlist because they were my favorite and it just made sense to me to have glory after requiem like an intro but I didn't know why, them I heard order and it all fit together
Thank you for making this video, now I finally have a proper conclusion When I first bought the Ultrakill OST, I had listened to Minos Prime's theme on repeat, as I really enjoyed the song I was listening to it and then I heard Requiem and by god I felt as if I was just this close to solving a puzzle I JUST got involved in Thank you, dude
dont get me wrong but i really really doubt anything beats the requiem letimotif in my book, id love to see P-2 if im wrong tho, still... requiem... the sadness, the struggle, the last glimmer of hope and sheer lust for the king to come back... man i love Minos Prime and i think its legit his "Theme Letimotif" if i can call it that
Order also has a small leitmotif to chaos on the background guitar sometimes, just listen and you will notice that it's just on another octave (and probably modal scale)
The Minos lietmotif in World looks red is because the minotaur, who is technically a son of minos. Minos didn't like it and thus banished to the deepest darkest pit of hell. Thats why the leitmotif is in there
This is really really cool! If you could do more videos about other soundtrack's leitmotifs that'd be really awesome! I know that portal 2 has some really identifiable ones.
Requiem is my favorite because of the memory from glory, fighting my way through the level late at night. I’ll probably never forget it it was just so fun.
something I only recently noticed: during the famous leitmotif part of the calm version of Requiem, the same piano leitmotif as the one in Glory can be heard.
I like how you can tell that this wasn't exactly made by someone who Makes music, because the thousand greetings "leitmotif" (which is just sampling Hakitas own music, less than a leitmotif that creatively modifies or structures a melody in a similar yet unique way), the sample is pitched down, and is exactly the same, yet you didn't put a p, either you forgot or you didn't think it was the same because it wasn't the same pitch. There's a lot of examples in this that are just samples rather than leitmotifs, most of the records that play are samples, anything new is still sampleable by Hakita themself. HOWEVER, I will say that it seems that the reoccuring theme that plays in the lust layer, and then in P-1, is significant to minos prime and lust, as it seems to have to do with minos and the city as an overall theme.
Is there a chance you might remake this now act 2 is out? will you do it after the second Prime Sanctum releases?

hearing the Spinal Staircase leitmotif in the sped up Cold Winds/In the Presence of a God really freaked me out. An insanely cool detail
The leitmotif in “Order” is actually kinda cool, considering that King Minos ruled the second layer.
The better part is that the song builds up to the leitmotif, as if announcing the king entering his court.

Requiem leitmotif in Order has to be the best part of the entire soundtrack.
The Requiem and Order motifs are just a simple reminder of who you're facing
Requiem is saddest lei motif because of the context seeing that it’s related to king Minos
that was awesome and for some reason the video made me cry i don`t know why maybe because of how awesome the soundtrack is, it`s a masterpiece
Please, make a part 2 of this video with the act 2 OST and the P-2 OST. I really love the Sands of Tide leitmotif in WAR
ULTRAKILL rules.
i knew i thought there was something going on when i played bridgeburner again after prime.
Also... i feel like there mightr be a link between the fire is gone and something in castle vien but i can't remember
Requiem leitmotif absolutely kicks ass
man i L O V E Leitmotifs. what a fucking great game. what a fucking great soundtrack. Hakita for emperor of the world
Nice work! Didn't notice some of these.
Forgot how awesome this game and soundtrack is. Everything about the music feels tragic.
the requiem/order leitmotif is insane
"Act II WHEN?" Funny thing that is going to release in 7 days xd
4:35 oh hey Im from the future Wrath/Heresy update
That's reused in Heresy's level as well
