My 20 year old friends and I went to an ancient city for the first time the other day, and we were shitting our pants the first 20 or so minutes. Can’t even imagine a nine year old stumbling across this place by accident. Poor kid is gonna have nightmares for days

This is it boys, Minecraft has officially turned into a horror game

7:42 makes me leave the cave lol

9:24 gives that terrifying but beautiful discovery

ancestry is so creepy but same time so beautiful song

4:17 makes me cover myself in a wall and mine to the surface.

Honestly never felt so on edge playing minecraft than I was when I came across my first ancient city. Shit turned into Outlast

Ancestry is so terrifying... one of the few times ive actually enjoyed horror in a video game!!!! I love the sound design of this.

It’s been years since a game has made me feel genuine dread. And the track at 9:24 made that feeling come back.

Ancestry is a theme that sticks with me due to how unsettling it is. Something very otherworldly and strange about it. The discordant piano breaking through the monotonous droning beat in quick bursts only to be quickly swallowed up again by a more aggressive drone. Like a city begging to be remembered, only to be quickly silenced and suffocated by an alien fungus unwittingly brought forth.

The warden’s theme feels like a nostalgic Mourn of the past, when the city wasn’t overtaken by this relatively unknown parasite we barely know as sculk. Who knows what life was like for those who lived peacefully until the darkness came, but the Warden himself… Astray Archipelago is how it feels to be in the present of genuine dangers like the sensors and shriekers of the sculk. The Warden is the most where we get horrified when it comes to find and kill us, coupled with the darkness the sculk gives around the area it’s present in and especially the haze from the shrieker and warden, flashing your entire play-through before your eyes… Ancestry is the gradual realization of the existence of the sculk, and as it builds, to be one of the most dangerous locations unlike anything else you could find in the over world. Maybe even the nether with how differently one must play around a sculk infested area, sneaking around and with the knowledge of wool and a hoe being your best tools to navigate around the dangerous environment…

9:25 this one calms me down when im exploring ancient cities, literally trying not to trigger a shrieker 4 times

11:12 So beautiful and eerie. I always thought this part meant that I was alerting the warden, which freaked me out

Ancestry makes you FEEL like you've found an ancient civilization lost to time, its makes you wanna explore more even with all the risks, and when you use the sculking origins addon, it gives a different feeling, since you are a lost soul, it feels like you've woken up in a familliar yet depricated and deserted home, a place that used to thrive now torn to rubble, dust flutters in the air as you look around, seeing the vast city before you cast into darkness and tainted by blue and black just fills you with dread and curiosity.

"Ancestry" coupled with the sounds of the Warden, the heartbeat speeding up, and the darkness effect gave me a rush I never expected from something like Minecraft.

9:30 cause sme to have such a huge sense of panic and urgency. I just got back into minecraft and accidentally spawned a warden and have been terrified ever since.

9:25 I think most people are waiting for the nice wind instrument in the background is beautiful

After experiencing the Warden and Ancient Cities, I can say that "Ancestry" is doing an amazing job to help you feel the mood of this place. The melody is so unnerving and somehow calming at the same time, corrupted sounds and bells ringing are just *chef's kiss* . Maybe it's just me, but this song has some strong Lovecraft vibes

Apparently I was mining under the deep dark and safe to say, hearing ancestry at 1am in a dark mine, triggered my fight or flight response hard

never thought minecraft would become a horror game

Man when I heard Astray Archipelago play for the first time when I first ventured into the ancient city gave my entire body goosebumps.

All this gives us an actual feeling to the deep dark and this isn’t just some other weird biome, but it’s it’s own separate place.

People keep talking about Ancestry, and yes it's a beat, but the part of this whole track Im in love with is the Wardens theme

Warden theme sounds like the begining of a breaking bad episode

How to deal with warden: DON'T

bro i was literally just strip mining, there was no sign of a deep dark biome in the area, and then suddenly ancestry started playing and it scared the life outta me dude 😭 it immediately felt like something dangerous was following behind me (there wasn’t anything there), so i just turned around and fuckin booked it outta there, the music didn’t even stop until i was all the way up at like, y = 50 😭

9:24-end is the stuff iv been waiting for AKA the stuff that I heard when the warden was stalking me

7:41 is what I first heard down there. I had never been so jarred since I heard the music in the End after killing the Ender Dragon…. It also didn’t help when the music started when I accidentally spawned the warden… 😰

7:41 this song randomly came while strip mining and I didnt know what it was anyway I shat my pants

This was the last music I listened to in my hardcore world, which I continued for 1 month. I found Ancient city and I was very happy about it. I made all my preparations and entered the city, then I escaped the first warden by chance, but I don't know what the hell I was doing there, I continued on my way. Then I heard I woke another warden. I quietly tucked into a corner and imprisoned myself using wool. I felt the Warden getting closer to me with every second, and I never made a sound. He literally sensed that I was there, and I even began to hear my own heartbeat. Then ı whole minecraft adventure, killing enderdragon, killing wither, covering all my armor and tools with netherite, my beautiful home flashed before my eyes and I felt death even to my bones. Just then, the Warden used a shockwave and I dig as far down as I could. And then. my first death, I used one of my immortality totem, I died once, then once again, one more again, and one more again. And as I finally realized that I had spent all my immortality totems in my ınventory and that I would never be able to get rid of it no matter how hard I dig, this music continued to play when I died one last time and permanently. So.... Darkness destroyed my adventure too.. 09:29

Astray archipelago sounds like something straight out of a creepypasta ngl

I had no idea Ancient Cities were a thing in Minecraft. So you can imagine my surprise when I found one when I was randomly mining. The first thing I heard was 9:24. The sheer amount of dread and awe I felt was astounding.

I wish i could convince my friends to travel into an ancient city with me. Because let me tell you, there's no worse feeling than opening a chest and hearing a shrieker and knowing that when you close that chest, all you can do is run and hope you don't get lost

This sent me goosebumps when i bumped into a sculk shrieker and this soundtrack playing

this sounds like everywhere at the end of time hell sirens

Sometimes, when you break any sculk component, a screench Can be heard. This Can prove only one thing. The sculk is alive, feels pain and is contious. he is aware of the past as well as the presence of the player

Fact : warden theme is from Minecraft dungeon

I heard ancestry when I first discovered this and I thought why is this so fucking fire

Ancestory makes me feel like fighting some kind of impossible to beat boss

I ventured into the deep dark in my survival world the night before typing this comment and found an ancient city. I was on peaceful mode because this was a relatively new world and I wasn't stupid, plus I didn't have any way of dealing with a warden. And even though there was no danger, the music and the constant clicking of sculk sensors and the howling of shriekers made my skin crawl. Goes to show the tension this place holds. I didn't manage to snag all the loot though due to inventory space, so I've screenshotted the coordinates and I plan to go back down there to get everything (there's still some shrexy stuff down there), but this time at least I plan to make sure that the difficulty is higher, at least then I'm fair game and not a complete pussy. Call me a coward if you want, but I've played around with the Warden, and it's nigh on impossible to escape.

finally an experience for the warden, the 1.19 snapshot is out!!!!!! but its experimental, but it also has everyone's favorite sculk monster!

You know for 11 years that I’ve been playing this game you get used to the dread and anxiety that going to a dark cave or mineshaft brings you especially since the game is rather quiet and at any moment you either hear a cave sound, a skeleton, or worse a creeper explosion so you always felt you had to watch your back. This Warden shit though is a whole other level of dread that I can’t even comprehend. Every time I mine and I see the first signs of skulk I immediately do not want to go in just so I don’t encounter a Warden or especially when I’m strip mining deep underground and start to hear the Ancestry music.

4:17 This is fucking horrifying

I really hope this music makes it into the game, although it would feel really weird hearing music from Minecraft Dungeons in Minecraft

First time I heard the soundtrack it was Ancestry, when it first began, I thought I triggered a cave sound (I was strip mining) and it didn’t sound right for how long it was going and a minute later, I came out in a deep dark cave that led to an ancient city and realized it’s gotta be a new soundtrack, and I loved it

Warden theme uses electric guitar+acoustic bass+acoustic guitar+strings synths as instruments

This started playing while me and my friend were hiding from the warden, i diddnt know they added new music for it. It scared the shit out of me.

I still think the Deep Dark should of been an entire cave biome that spanned the whole bottom of the world

when I was mining, I started to hear a weird creepy noise whenever I mined a block, at first, I was scared, but then I decided to power through my 1x2 mine, then i found it, this little cave was infected with this weird block, I found the things detecting my noise and broke them, but I still heard it detect me. so looked above, and it was just darkness, so I put a torch... then I saw a massive cave filled and covered with this weird fungus, I didn't dare to step foot in it, I was going to block it off, but then when I put the first block in, I heard ancestry. I ran away, went up the long mine as fast as ever, even up in my house the song was still playing. I logged out. by the time of writing this, i haven't gone back down there.

I just noticed this, The Deep Dark is the only biome in Minecraft that has it's own soundtrack.

I heard Ancestry twice in a row making me think biomes have their own OST, was clearing out sculk to find the diamonds hidden underneath

Ancestry archipelago sounds like a return to the Halloween pack way back when

Is it weird that I think ancestry is the best song in the game??

I love 10:45, we finally have an intense song in the soundtrack

Pro tip: if a bunch of screamers have spawned in a group, quickly place TNT, activate it, then run like hell.

It fells like waching Anihilation

The song ancestry is good

One music out of all these that caught me is ancestry. It's not horrifying in a way like your running and hiding from the warden compared to the other songs. This one feels like you really stumbled upon something out of your understanding of design and architecture in basic Minecraft. The structures are built so unique compared to the villages, runes, and mansions we see in Minecraft. And the items you find in the infected and abandon ruines are rare finds and goods. Even more strange is when I played the games you find bones in the chest and a good amount. It's not a world your use to being in cause it isn't your world you use to know. With the music, the atmosphere, the buildings and even the warden. Your not entering an old abandon mine shaft...your entering some place that feels enchanted and far lost to time. Reversing and continuing in the background of the music as you step through the lost runes to time and infection.

"Ancestry" is an interesting title... what sort of ancestry is being implied? The Warden's theme sounds like a western standoff... but one that you definitely will *NOT* win. And Astray Archipelago is just nightmare fuel.

I like the music of the old deep dark better The new one, although it is scary, I feel that they made it very simple and that any horror game could have that music

I was mining for diamonds at level -58 and I heard the third one play out of nowhere and was freaking out thinking that something scary was gonna happen. I didn’t realize that there was a deep dark biome right above me. Afterwards I heard a lightning strike. All the way underground near bedrock? I just quit the game afterwards.

Ancestry makes me feel like im running from unknown and hiding from it .. ( it was scary af)

Not been a huge fan of Lena’s songs thus far, but these are actually pretty fitting

So stupid that they didn't add the first two tracks, they are so cool as well. I know they are from dungeons but still...

I heard ancestry while strip mining and i was so confused and excited and i saw this and found out that i found an ancientncity

Must say they really made this place feel of

thanks

9:50 the best

A 7 year old would shit themselves how is this rated 7+

Heard these while branch mining, had no idea the deep dark was a thing. Thought a creepypasta was in my game lol

Did anyone else notice that the warden theme sounds similar to cacti canyon from Minecraft dungeons.

I thought this was a kids game not a horror game

I was just chillin strip mining for diamonds and then I heard the third one and peed my pants

I love the warden theme,I'll make it so this theme plays in minecraft while in the deep dark

7:41 ayo WTF heard that Yesterday while mining for diamonds in my artificial strip mines. Then I went out to my house in the village to store the diamonds, then I went back in, down to Y-58 to continue strip mining. After a short time this music came back. Does this mean im near an ancient City?

Astray archipelago Sounds like something laughing or kind of cackling at the beginning of it

The deep dark theme might be the best music an any video game. I mean it captures it so well... it sounds so silent... matches it so well

When the darkest days becomes the light of an endless tunnel. Then you'll know then you'll realized it's your friend.

Ancestry is te best song of Minecrfat

BROOOO AS SOON AS I CLICKED ON 7:42, THE MUSIC SYNCED UP💀💀

I always here Ancestry when i'm digging in the deep dark, i have yet to hear the Warden's them in game..

If only Astray Archipelago was in the game

Hubieran metido los desarrolladores esa canción al juego......cuando el jugador este en la deep dark 😥

8:01 that was the moment i got scared by the strange sounds

The wardens theme is very devious mischievous ahh

I expected The Warden to have a more unnerving theme.

The Warden Theme sounds like a Horror/Thriller Western OST

The game gets darker and darker and darker with each update Minecraft has some crazy lore myths such as is Minecraft legends and Minecraft dungeons and Minecraft connected how did the soul sand valleys created who created the overworld structures why are there zombies skeletons and big spiders roaming the world was the creeper a golem or a failed experiment do the illagers farm villagers for experience and to create totems with mythical powers or to take the villagers souls to create vexes or why are there abandoned villages so many mysteries to be solved

the "warden theme" is from Minecraft Dungeons in the Cacti Canyon level.

My favorite theme is astray achipelago and Ancestry

Wardens theme was in minecon live

The only thing that will truly scare me is when minecraft is blocky no more.

Most Determined Theme: Warden Theme Most Terrifying Theme: Astray Archipelago Most Eerie Theme: Ancestry The Best Themes: Warden Theme And Ancestry Scariest Ost Of All Time: “But Nobody Came.”

BRO ASTRAY ARCHIPELAGO

When i go into an ancient city there always comes that ancestry soundtrack, its so annoying and it makes ancient citys much more scarier

Essa cidade ancestral e esse boss foram desenvolvidos para o jogador evitar, não enfrentar... :X é aterrorizante.

Essa música literalmente era que eu mais queria que chegasse ou jogo porquê ela passa um ar de medo e mistério, um certo dia tive até um pesadelo com essa música, estou muito triste por quê está música não está no jogo😢

i swear everywhere at the end of time has something to do with this

apocalyptic background music

I really thought ancestry was the theme that plays when a warden spawns
