Are Genshin Bosses Getting BETTER? Drummer Reacts to Apep Nahida Boss Theme

with the release of gentian impact version 3.6 we've got the brand new nahida story Quest and with that comes a brand new weekly boss this is the warden of the Oasis I think it's pronounced apev not totally sure I haven't played the quest myself yet so I haven't heard the name in Game yet so bear with me with my usual mispronunciations I'm super excited to listen to this because gencha never misses with the boss fight themes so of course if you enjoyed the video thumbs up gang where you at let's jump in and listen to this song right now now before we jump into the song I just want to take a second to appreciate how cool this art is that's just gnarly look and I love that oh they're not wasting any time they're jumping right in and this feels very aggressive right off the rip [Music] um we have some snare drums rolling in the background [Music] what a contrast we gotta talk about the contrast there so it starts off immediately first of all it comes right in I think it's a little hand drum I wouldn't know what it's actually called comes in a meeting with a quick little hand drum roll right into this aggressive something along those lines so they've got contrasting layers of movement within the song all of which are moving fast and pretty aggressively then to come up with this uh flute you know whatever it is I I'm a drummer not a flutist you gotta forgive me when I don't know the names of all these instruments and this comes in really smooth and high pitched it's uplifting the whole song immediately let's roll it back just a couple of seconds to hear that transition because that's a really cool way to start it off go back a bit further we missed it [Music] aggressive low pitched that's really neat [Music] it's like it breaks up the intro of the song and you can feel that that's gonna serve as a transition and then right here with the sitar more hand percussion again higher pitches it's uplifting the song and creating contrast from that original introduction that we received oh they went low [Music] so back with that what that meant different composition for it though now the strings are going high so now the strings are going high as well originally the streams were low nine times out of ten when you hear strings go high it's creating tension as a build up for either one of two things usually it's going to be a drop off or a major transition into a more dramatic part of the song so let's see what happens here and I could be wrong and I'll look like an idiot we'll find out [Music] drop off see always it's one of the most predictable things in music composition but it always works like that felt great [Music] to it they Circle back around a little bit there's so much movement streams coming in faster [Laughter] [Music] oh now we're back to almost everything being lower pitched it's dark it's guttural uplifted Again by that flute [Music] the sitar is playing that main Melody there oh oh we have to listen to that again holy cow they came in with some heavy ass percussion right there that was a huge transition yeah [Music] they're lifting it up everything goes higher pitched and then they drop into this percussion [Music] that piano beautiful [Applause] [Music] is that a key change I'm not smart enough to know if that was a key change or if they're just running different lines but it was beautiful everything's high pitched again [Music] it's going even higher and it's beautiful [Music] what's next that's that heavy percussion breakdown again with everything else layered behind it [Music] I'm anticipating a huge drop off at the end of this run oh oh they didn't drop it off they broke it down that percussion goes so damn hard we're going back I'm sorry we're going back we I have to hear that again give it a little bit of that lead up this is all uplifting and it's bright it's high pitched [Music] then all of a sudden it's right here it goes from being kind of Airy and moving and having smooth motion to just sharp abrupt stops on every single note and it raises the tension which leads into that super deep percussion drop off [Music] bum right here [Music] oh that's [Music] that's it [Music] [Music] there's the drop off there's the drop off super tense I don't know if this is gonna come through I hope you guys are listening to these videos with headphones if you are even after that drop off there's a rumble in the background and I'm trying to make out what it is it could be um like low drums low timpanies just rolling in the background it could be synthetic it could be a synthesizer I'm not totally sure let me let's take it back just a few seconds to try and make out what that is it's percussion [Music] there's just a rumble oh they're building it up again [Music] the horns I don't know what happens at this point in the fight but those horns coming in there has to be a moment of Triumph happening right now because a lot of times that's what you when you hear a brass section like that used like that that usually signifies Triumph you hear it in a lot of different games Destiny Halo you hear it all the time Halo in particular is one that I'm super familiar with uh Fire Emblem is another one when those horns come in that usually signifies a moment of Triumph now whether that's moment of trying for us or a moment of Triumph for the warden of the Oasis I don't know I'm going to be really curious I'm gonna have to listen to this when I complete this Mission and actually do this boss fight in person because that's that's beautiful that's and it's just beautiful to hear [Music] yeah you hear those in the background I've got this really really pattern going over and actually I'm wondering that synth patterns it sounds like the synth is running the same main Melody from the beginning of the song that I think we heard I think we heard the strings hitting there or it might have been the sitar at the beginning of the song if you guys can hear that it's it's very mellow in there but it's really cool it's adding obviously as a synthesizer it's adding a synthetic sound it could just be because it sounded cool or it could be tying into themes of the battle itself I'm not sure [Music] oh it went higher right there I didn't go high with it [Music] but that's the synth line it went really high right there and that immediately added a ton of tension because they took the same line that they were doing at a lower pitch with descent then all of a sudden and it wouldn't surprise me if they even like increased the gain for this section for this transition right here because all of a sudden you really hear that synth [Music] right here [Music] how cool [Music] contrasting Melodies beautiful I mean you could you could tell that this was the finale of the song even without saying the time stamp on the video but you know Genji hoyo makes they do this all the time they will have multiple melodies for particularly like these long boss fights that have multiple Transitions and scenes to them and then they will frequently take both Melodies and tie them together and overlap them for the climax which is super super intense gotta go back and hear that again here [Music] then [Music] [Music] drums again baby that scent is still going oh [Music] oh that ended so dark hang on hang on I was about to comment on how beautiful that ending was sounding and then it ended super dark kind of reminds us of the uh then um was it nahida's birthday character teaser or whatever that was we're like her whole teaser seemed super cute and happy and then all of a sudden it ended super dark [Music] you know that there's the Thematic foreshadowing there and now I'm dying to know what that's all about I've gotta play this Quest so that's the boss theme for the warden of the Oasis a pep have you said I'm sorry again I haven't played that I don't know how to say it this is the boss at the end of nahida's brand new story Quest invention impact version 3.6 Nikita best
