Thanks for listening...

What, really? Prince of Persia too? I love you! Thank you for the immersive atmosphere!

Okay, I gotta play Prince of Persia haha, just because of your comment! Because I love Stuart's work.

Haha, yeah. Stuart is my favorite composer now that you mention it.

I have a d&d character who is tied to a place called Calimshan. I hope thats spelled correctly. But that place reminds me or prince of persia. Man! Aww the memories.

Sounds like Stalingrad during WWII.

Sounds too alive​@@warrioroflight6872

just another Monday(?

haha. Love the comment.

You entered the wrong hamlet

Man at Arms: "hi".

@@CidGuerreiro1234 that will work with any boss, only the witch, the cannon and the siren can ''counter'' the man at arms

Same here...but my ass forgot that was a "Reynauld & Dismas" Run.... and I said "Fucking luck...."

reminds me so much of 40k

you talking about the heroes or Vulf?

@@benthomason3307 the heroes

Came back to the game after about 5 years and got this on my first run-through. So great!

well, if you hit a pack full of bombs they'll explode in your face, it makes sence to me

Thankfully it only parries for 6 damage and can easily be taken out by a Houndmaster and have the damage healed by an Occultist whilst your Abomination and Hellion go to town on the Vvulf.

Unfair. Dangerous. Unpredictable. Perfect Darkest Dungeon Enemy.

As if the prophet doesn't have broken damage. Take a man at arms. Buffed he takes GREATLY reduced damage with defender, and he can "catch" the bombs that the Vvulf sends out, unlike the prophet where you're guaranteed to have at least one death's door on most heroes.

i took your advice and went for the barrel. it was a terrible idea. even if you can deal 25 dmg to it each turn Vuulf just resummons it straight away.Thanks for getting dismas killed for the 2nd time buddy, i shouldve listened to darkfury45 :(

My crusader an msn at arms back to back “ready for the bloodbath?”

By the time you've encountered Vvulf, wouldn't it be half-restored to its former glory?

That's how I pictured this whole event playing out, badass walk coupled with fire-forged true companions and all (mostly). Oh, and sending Vvulf landing on top of all his bombs taking him down in one big-ass BOOM! Bonus points if Vvulf voluntarily throws himself onto the bombs himself while his goons are nearby.

The animal they named themselves after is fitting. The curs and brigands are miserable little creatures, their biggest strength being sheer numbers. Prove superior strength and the survivors will flee with their tails between their legs.

You deserve them!

Man, this stuff is amazing. You've got the magic touch, but with music!

Your work was amazing thank for such a great music

You did an awesome job at setting the tone for the game! Thank you so much.

+The Guy may I say that your taste is exquisite. Thanks for supporting the cause!

" *many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one, not today* "

*"A moment of valor shine brighter against the backdraw of despair!"*

edit these typos please and it will be perfect :3 to move, finnaly *attack* and shatters next to *them* it is met *with* thud of metal The highwayman *has* joined the fray the town defenders *do* the same I am not trying to be grammar nazi or trying to say that your english is bad (when it's obviously not), all I want is for this great wall of text to have no typos :)

A smile spreads across the bandit leader's face as he lights his first bomb. Throwing it, the infernal weapon detonates upon impact, shuddering the few buildings that are still standing, throwing up a cloud of earth, broken wood, and the blood of the fallen that momentarily obscures the vision of all on the battlefield. The defenders of the town scatter as more bombs rain upon them, the brigand leader letting loose a deep, sadistic laugh. Under the cover of his fire, the brigands under his command renew their assault. Among the defenders, the man with the shield and mace takes point, defending against the barrage of incendiary destruction. The highwayman and the woman with the daggers stand back to back, knife-fighting the brigands who dare to get too close. The fool and the barbarian team together, their blades parting flesh from bone and drawing inordinate levels of blood with every strike. The greatsword wielder cleaves brigands from side to side and up to down, the one with the plague mask lobbing globes of infectious gases that burn the skin and melt the bones of her enemies. However, the brigands are many and the defenders are few, and though the priestess and the occultist use their magicks to cure even the most grievous of wounds, they cannot staunch the flow of their allies' blood forever. As wounds mount, the brigands, like wolves after their prey, sense fear in their enemies and press their advantage. As all seems lost and the brigand leader readies another bomb, the cry of a hound echoes through the shattered remains of the Hamlet. As all turn their heads to see what the source of this noise is, they see on the far side of the town square a man clad in a gendarme's uniform and holding the leash of a snarling wolfhound. Next to him is a man in leather and scale armour, in one hand a hatchet, a grappling hook in the other, and stun grenades attached to his belt. On his left is a woman of African descent, clad in metal armour and holding a loaded crossbow before her. Closer to the heroes appears a man in crusader's armour. He produces a long piece of parchment and, calling out the brigand leader's name of Vvulf, reads his many crimes aloud before rolling up the parchment, unsheathing a great broadsword, and holding it in a ready position. Seeing this, Vvulf laughs long and richly, followed by a mocking question of if this is all the defenders have. As he says this, the sound of rattling chains is heard in the square. On the right of the square is a sickly man with an "A" branded on his forehead and heavy iron manacles wrapped across his body. Vvulf and is brigands are incredulous upon seeing this. Vvulf demands to know if they have gone mad thinking that this pathetic excuse of a man is going to save them. Suddenly, the veins on the sickly man's wrists glow with a poisoned green colour. It spreads to his arms and legs, then his neck, then his head. His pupils obtain the same colour, the rest of the eye turning black as coal with lightning-streaks of bright red shooting in every direction. The manacles that once weighed the man down now clatter, strain, and shatter. His skin turns a dark burgundy and spiraling black goat-horns, immense demonic claws, and long sword-esque teeth sprout from his head, fingertips, and mouth, and his size and bodily mass increases to thrice its normality. The brigands are now staring at a monster, an abomination, poison dripping from its elongated jaws and murder in its soulless eyes. Vvulf, now more satisfied with the sight before his eyes, lets loose a mighty battle cry before lighting the bomb in his hand. The abomination responds with an animalistic roar the likes of which only a monster of his ferocity and lethality could produce. Vvulf lobbs his bomb at the abomination, who merely swats it aside. Lettling loose another roar, the abomination opens into a gallop, poison sliding off his bladelike teeth, massive claws throwing up dirt with each stride, and his soulless eyes locking on Vvulf. As this happened, the bounty hunter throws his grenades at the brigands, which detonate with a blinding flash. With their enemies momentarily disoriented, all the defenders present launch a counter-offensive, striking at the brigands with renewed vigor. The battle has begun once more.

FFS SOME ONE WRITE A DARKEST DUNGEON BOOK ALREADY

*Offscreen Never trust edited comments

considering you and the entire town are the eldritch...thing...i wonder what horrors those raiders actually saw.

I like to imagine the guild helping to keep the enemy funneled in places to allow the heroes to take them out personally

@@EricToTheScionti every single thing on the planet is that thing

@@EricToTheScionti Everyone in the world is that thing, as they all came from it, but you got to see the truth behind that flesh since you ventured into the darkest dungeon

Moralless men are the worst kind of monsters.

I think Vvulf is the most badass boss of the game, and the combat music is so damn epic ._.

The maddened man is a horror greater than any demon

Imagine if hed focussed that will to virtue. He could have been a great ally against the darkness.

A simple man who killed two of my teams 😭

Hellion: Such wild hate! I am among kin at last! Flagellant: So many sins for me to lash away... I HAVE LONGED FOR THIS! DON'T YOU DARE TAKE IT FROM ME! Highwayman: Heh... Never thought I'd see you lot again... Occultist: Men who behave as beasts to men... Compared to what I have seen. You. Are. Nothing.

Men at arms : We will fight them back!

Gave me goosebumps reading this ty

Bounty Hunter: *snorts*

Even Sheriff was on it

"The law cannot be killed... and I... am... the law..."

"If i die... i die... standing..."

Had a similar situation with a plague doctor. I was fucking lucky that Vvulf died of blight when his turn rolled around.

I just finished the game after a long break from it. Houndmaster was alive till the end.

a man at arms makes this mission way easier

Thanks for listening!

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for listening

Thanks for listening?

thanks for listening 👁️👄👁️

You mean like Miguel from The Road to El Dorado?

@@jelloegg lol

It's all fun and games until the Jester pushes an overbuffed crit Finale and kills Vvulf in one single hit

it's what he does best

This game is difficult. Sometimes the dice roll does not go in your favour. I've been there myself where you must make a hasty retreat. Hope you have better luck next attempt. At least you get to hear the music again..:)

well atleast i know what im getting myself into next time i get the chance also keep up the great work :]

Hi

Thanks for the detailed review. This is one of my favourite tracks in the game as well. I'm very glad to hear people are enjoying it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Thanks for taking the time to share your insight. It's nice for the composer to be able to read comments like this...

I like to think that during this quest most of your heroes defends the Hamlet, but a group of the most qualified ones must stop Vvulf himself. I know there is no sign about it, and it's just my opinion.

@@xxzmaster04xx29 Also since there's no casualties among your heroes other than the 4 who take on Vvulf, one can imagine that your group of 4 are taking on the most dangerous concentration of bandits leading up to Vvulf while the others are fighting lesser battles elsewhere against weaker and less-organized brigands without Vvulf's direct orders. Meanwhile the ones you fight are highly loyal and motivated to defend the man who has led them to survive against the horrors of the estate

@@Lazarultos that's some pretty cool theories dudes. Now I can only imagine 4 level 3 heroes fighting just 1 bandit, while saying: '' Tonight, the gankers gets ganked''

@@xxzmaster04xx29 Or they are just mercenaries they do not care this town (although if it is destroyed, well they will not gain more gold)

@@PxHDB The way I see it, the characters would focus more on cutting down any raider they see than focus on the safety of the commonfolk. They rally in defense since these brigands have the gall to attack the only relative safe haven in the Estate, but they're not out to save anyone.

Thanks for the comments. They mean a lot. Nice to know the music is hitting a mark with the players.

"points at the new Crimson Court" I know its a year or so late but you got your wish!

He's about to et an 1Up on that wish, the Color of Madness DLC has been announced

And the music is fuckin' great.

CidGuerreiro1234 can confirm, the farmstead has some of the best music so far.

If the music of crimson court is anything close to this, I'm soooo gonna buy it.

Jester is about to drop some serious riffs.

Thou hath treaded upon the wrong hamlet, knave.

Shame they all end up turning into sniffling chumps XD

Naw. Most do, but the Crusader's death quote is legendary.

Valters Garjans The Leper's death quote is awesome too

dead cells and the calamity mod, check them out

Thanks for your comment. Not sure how often the music plays, as I'm not sure how many town battles there are...

There's only Wolves At The Door, Stuart.

Dinner-fork tongue ok. I thought it repeated a few times. I've only put 40 hours into the game...haha

Stuart Chatwood Hehe

Darek Krakowski have no fear with the new crow mutant thing, u get this song another time!

Jester: Were gonna fuck you up so bad......HA

Wait y’all saying this epic shit and you haven’t said anything about it to me?

**anime rendition of Final Combat starts playing**

We are the flame.

Holy fuck dude we need to get high together right the fuck now.

And the 15 demons guarding the Hamlet will send them back into the fire of Hell.

Modify this to 2020 - Darkest Dungeon 2

2020s - COVID, Russian invade, world has gone crazy has Chatwood something to do with that? maybe, he does not. but who knows...

2020s - DD2 He is still making awsome songs

"Dismas my friend, can you hear me? DO YOU SEE THIS? The bastards have finally been driven from our door!" The original Highwayman is named Dismas and the original crusader is named Reynauld.

my dismas also died against vuulf, only to get resurrected and then die again when i sent him in to avenge himself lol

I want a full fan fic about this. Tomorrow. There's a series, I forget exactly what its called, but it's basically a series of diaries that someone made for XCOM back in Enemy Unknown days and I WANT THAT FOR THIS.

This is for Dismas you fucking sonuva bitch!!!!!

Or is it scripted??

Thanks for your comment Elizabeth. It was my pleasure to score the music for this game.

Wow, I just noticed that too... it turned out be _way_ more noticeable than I first realized when reading your comment, lol.

I enjoy the song much more knowing this. Thank you so much for your perception!

I found out after fucking up in preparing and they all died, heard the hamlet theme and was like,”Oooh fuck...that’s clever.”

lol holy shit man your right

Hope you stay safe!

Pszykre zią

Plague Doctor: *sits alone at camp using "The Cure"* Heros with the Crimson Curse: "Virus? What's a virus?" *begins laughing in 1000% disease resistance*

Lol I love how people are still watching this 4 years after it was released

The flesh is fluid it can be reshaped remade.

You can always come here to listen to this track! New DLC music coming in a few weeks. Subscribe to hear the music when I post it.

That's what makes it special.

Man-at-arms with a couple protection trinkets makes it a complete joke tbh

Yeah you can completely break the boss

It goes to show that they need to nerf the protection buffs slightly. Or add armor piercing attacks to specific enemies and bosses.

Eh. Bring a Man At Arms and it's pretty alright. I may have also been lucky though, as I found Vvulf in the second room I went into.

Metrocop the event is a static map, every time it will be the same map though you can't see it unless

Thanks for your comment. Good luck with the essay!

Thank you! I come back to this song a lot. A lot of lab reports, with very tight d(r)eadlines! :S

haha. My new market is music for productivity and study!

"Never again"

Darkest Dungeon is coming to PS4? Did I read that right?

+Christian Lundsgaard yes! PS4 Vita and iOS later!

Stuart Chatwood Oh my.

+Archdeacon Royce of the Deep I am just awaiting the official PS4 launch date and the soundtrack will be out that week.

Purchased your album back in the launch of Darkest. Such amazing work to create an atmosphere as well as a heroic feeling of dread. Wonderful work :)

Whats the matter lumberfoot

Vahlok142 thanks for the kinds words. Glad you enjoyed this piece.

You're very welcome Mr. Chatwood. Thank you for the amazing musical work, and here's to whatever comes further down the line.

I imagine they'd have their own reasons. Considering the Swinefolk's more heavily-armoured soldiers, along with their numerous wardrummers and battle-standards, I think it's safe to say that they know a thing or two about waging war on others. As for the cultists, I imagine they would probably just be looking for more innocent villagers to sacrifice to their profane deity. We could maybe even see the occasional Ascended Brawler/Witch in the Hamlet.

+Karkat Vantas I want Wayne June to narrate this line right now

+Lord Pancake Two things first Yes!!!!! Second. Baer rules.

For the love of god, SOMEONE MAKE THIS A MOD!

Late comment but the undead from the ruins could invade the Hamlet to capture people to turn them into undead.

I agree. This would make an amazing cartoon or movie. I have spoken with a few companies so they have it on their radar.

I would be very surprised,starteled even if this happend but I couldn’t complain

Not even the Shrieker knowingly attacks you, it just steals Trinkets because they’re shiny and because it’s pretty much still a crow under the eldritch corruption.

The bandits were the only organized (and intelligent) group there aside maybe with the Drowned Crew and the Mosquito Nobles

@@PRubin-rh4sr Not necessarily a huge organized invasion, just events where the town itself is in danger. Like maybe after coming back from the Weald a fungal outbreak happens and you need to repel it. Or the Swine emerge from a well or something connected to the sewer system they're in. Perhaps a necromancer could sneak into town and use your cemetery against you in reviving dead heroes as enemies.

Thanks! That's very high praise. Thanks for supporting my music.

You're most welcome! Thank YOU for all the great music. I spent a lot of time humming a lot of the music from Sands of Time back then as well.I will continue to support your music.

Dávid Sebestyén thanks for the kind words. Yes the soundtracks can get a bit repetitive at times. I'll pass that along to the developers when we meet again.

o my god more music for dlc? i cant wait! this tracks are so amazing! also i remember one of my favorite soundtracks is prince persia warrior within that also done by you? brilliant music man.

Thanks for the kind words. Check out the full record on Tidal, Spotify or Bandcamp...links in the description above...

Thanks for listening.

I agree. Music makes the atmosphere complete.

Thanks for the kind words.

No sweat man. Some of these soundtracks are some of the best ive heard ingame in a long time.

I was planning on doing a table top version of some of my music cues with longer versions...

Just remember that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

with that drum im gonna carefully RIP THAT VVULF APART insert barbaric shouting here

marveldoop Destroy. Them. *ALL.*

I AM BECOME VENGEANCE! All cultists will feel my mace, brigands fear my roar! I am outnumbered, ‘tis true - I am starved and half-mad, but as long as there is breath in my body, I will press on. I will wreak unbearable agony on those who would seek to despoil my great manse! And now they come! I dowse my torch. I DO NOT FEAR THE DARKNESS! THIS IS MY HOUSE, AND WOE TO THE UNINVITED!

Supamarveldoop i hear you, i hear you!!

Cool!

Tentacle Man's resolve is tested! ... .... ..... ...... Abusive! (He proceeds to switch himself around, placing people on the bomb, getting my Hellion, then my houndmaster killed, and then passes his turn three times in a row.)

The Theory But did he remind himself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer?

Tree-Turtle thanks. One of my favorites as well.

I too have memorable games that I have beaten. Congratulations on your achievement.

Honestly, it feels like only the brigands had the human-like intelligence and greed to attempt a raid or take-over. That's what made mere humans as terrifying as beasts of the depths, or the swine-monstrosities of the barrens.

Someone make a mod

hmm i cant decide is this a leper or a jester mocking a leper

@@adamfejes6995 Danny Elfman is definitely the Jester in this scenario. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9h0dNeHtM2xh2w.html
