1:43 is on the most right side of the kinglor forest of the waterway valley. Most colourful area of the kinglor forest. If you go to the night mode, it is easier to see which areas are more beautiful.

Yes, either with remaking a trailer or certain film scene in the game; it is the same, but in a new fresh perspective with the context of the game.

Thanks! This ambience is also pretty good to rest or sleep with. It doesn't sound too harsh or airy. More following soon. The thing is, I finished all recordings (missed a couple in the beginning of the game) of the kinglor forest from the main storyline and there are like 8-15 other ambiences (new ones & variations of them) waiting in line. Then I haven't even talked about the ambiences in the Upper Plains & Clouded Forest that I still need to discover. The best ambiences will get priority first, like the last one I uploaded of the direhorse ride OST.

Thank you! 100% warrior style, Ubisoft needs to make a ‘Quaritch BOSS Difficulty’ to beat me

Alma rethinking the meaning of life at that moment

Thanks! Climbing the rookery Quest with this music is 1 of the best 'being-in-the-moment' moments in the game when playing for the first time.

​@@MikePietersen playing avatar frontiers of pandora has been something that we've be long awaited

Thank you rangiem! It can probably go on Spotify, but I haven't checked the criteria for that yet. Nice that you got the game. It has been a long time since I have seen such graphics & music in 1 game. Some ambiences are even magical sounding like climbing the mountain to Nor or the kinglor POV 'from Eye of Eywa' quest.

Yes! I have 2 games slowly progressing for the ambiences in case I missed an ambience that is somewhat bound to a certain area or you only hear it after the progress of a cutscene and you can’t go back to the main menu otherwise it is gone.

​@@MikePietersen I know what you mean. I've once tried recording the soundtrack for the Ikran Rookery quest, and found out that the music keeps changing due to quest progression and key moments. It's a shame the full version isn't on the official soundtrack. (Which is why I decided to record and upload it)

I just checked it, Nice! If you are planning to adjust the audio for future recordings (to make it more epic or relaxing for example) for 1 specific area of the game, here are some tips: The fact that the music changes a lot of times & dynamically, makes it hard for the edit to balance the sounds in terms of frequency & volume if it is all in 1 video. Because every EQ & Compression setting affects the whole track instead of a single instrument, unless 1 instrument pretty much occupies a certain frequency area or where it is the loudest for compression (Or only apply it to a certain area of the edit by automating this) Then it would be indeed a better choice to leave it as it is, as you have done. You can adjust this with the standard plugins in an edit program, like Premiere Pro, however it is not that easy as in a DAW like Logic Pro but it saves more time (make sure to use headphones as the main tool if you have one and earbuds as a 2nd check to balance it out) I also noticed that some ambiences are missing some 'airy' frequencies, having too much frequencies of something or have (massive) resonant peaks, because they are made for background ambiences of the game and not as soundtracks to be listened at a louder volume.

@@MikePietersen Thanks for the advice! Audio and video editing is something I dabble with every now and then, so there are still a lot left for me to learn. For the audio bit I basically messed around with Audacity. I tried to amplify the volume for the quiet bit, but I couldn't figure out how to balance it out for the whole audio. It also made the quality noticeably worse, so I ended up leaving the volume as it was. I might need to look into other video editing software. I'm fairly comfortable with a free one I'm using, but I wonder if paid ones have a lot more functions and are more reliable overall.

You can also download certain software via torrents. For audio editing/production only (DAW): Windows -> FL Studio most popular I think, for MAC I use Logic Pro. Other DAWs are Ableton & Cubase. After that: learn to listen how certain frequencies sounds from that starts from 20-50Hz (lowest frequencies where the sub and rumble is) up to 8-20Khz (sisssss sounds and the magic sound effects are often here) and how dynamic something is (difference between the lowest and loudest volume). This way you can know what is too much or needed in a certain background ambience. Compare this to similar ambiences/music you want to achieve. Make sure the reference track is as loud as the one you are working on and then you can easily learn/progress from there. Also have a certain goal in mind: make it more relaxing or something else? Make sure after 30-45 minutes to take at least a break, because our ears will get used to music pretty soon & making changes after hearing certain parts over and over again will be less objective. If you eventually figure out which frequencies are too much or are needed and the same for the dynamics like I just said, you can achieve most of the improvement of the audio you want in a good & simple way. People can call this mastering in music, but I do not know anything about that with all the advanced techniques

Thank you, I had the feeling if I did it exact the same, it wouldn’t look as engaging or impressive as the movie clip, because shooting on the ikran looks more static in terms of POV in the game

Make it 1000:0, got my ass beaten so many times on these RDA bases on realistic difficulty

Thanks buddy! Improved some stuff from part 1, next epic fails compilation probably gonna be in around 2 months, depending on how much new fun footage I can suddenly get from playing.

Thank you!

Haha yes, I think everyone is clueless at the 1st time. You had this with a stormglider or thanator?

@@MikePietersen Stormglider

Hey thanks buddy, for almost all players you are right that this applies more to them what you described here. This playstyle is only recommended for players who wants to play the hardest way possible and wants more challenge. For example when they have completed the campaign for the 1st time. This was the case for me when I was just drown into the world and played what was right in front of me. Being underleveled, hard difficulty & no bellsprigs forces you to have good aim, movement & using environment as cover to survive in combat. In some cases, like Quaritch described in Avatar 1, you can only win some battles with pre-emptive attack. There is no room for error & time waste, otherwise you get overrun by the RDA. That sniper you saw hitting me at the slag pit, 1st hit is a 'warning shot'. 2nd hit you will die instantly.

Depends, probably between 2 - 4 weeks. Been working on the avatar 2 remix & ambience recordings of the game. I know I have enough decent footage to make one like part 1, will take time to be creative & structure all the other moments

​@@MikePietersenoh okay!

Going to work on a part 3 now. Reorganizing all the footage that hasn't been used yet, converting and then editing. Probably need around 10 days since I also want to improve a bit more of video editing since last time.

Thanks buddy, did that first on purpose because the action is more towards the end, sounds like it is a better decision then to make it chronological again

​@@MikePietersenwell that does make sense but honestly I've went through 30 different CZcams accounts of this game and you are thus far the only good gamer I have found. Feel free to turn it back to the way it was when I'm finished with your playlist. I'll make a comment on the last video

Yes. I was surprised that I couldn't find any REAL aggressive hard gameplay of this game. Great aim, movement & using environment as cover on hard difficulty, being underleveled & using no bellsprigs is a must to survive on this. Completed the whole game like this. The battles of the last story missions & Horizontal Miner Bravo were intense. You will see when you get there.

Yes that is true. You can also see it as a tool to go even more all-in and aggressive at hoards of enemies at bases since there is more room for error. But sometimes it saves you more

Thanks buddy! I have to say, this was still really clunky editing back in the days, but i will be uploading an insane remix theme with an intense music video soon when it’s done 😉, just need to make sure the pace & cuts are perfectly in line with the whole song

Yes, however since the avatar 3 movie was delayed to 2025, ubisoft should take this time to make the next game more combat related with a lot more challenge, if they make the game also lined up with the movie. Because i am already predicting that in the avatar 3 movie, all hell will break loose between the RDA & Na’vi.

@MikePietersen maybe ubisoft can have a game that interacts woth the orther tribes that we seen thus far in way of water. Also the memory paintings, mainly the last fewz got pretty difficult (PS5 user)

Almost thought it was another language, but then I realized it was from Avatar 1. I see you (Pun intended)

Sounds like you have played on hard difficulty or wanted more challenge! Well that clip is distinct from the other rda soldier fights, because lvl 14 RDA enemies enters the room after, on this LVL 12 quest. Impossible to kill & survive when underleveled. The close range pistol from AMP Grenadier Elite is also deadly in a short time.

Got ro admit that sometimes I forget there are More weapons so I am basically fightin the RDA with toothpicks, jajajaj

Thanks, It was a hell of a job to get this one right! Hopefully Ubisoft will add something cool in the 2 DLC’s with aerial fights

@@MikePietersen I hope so! Gosh as a longtime Avatar fan this game has really made my entire decade, i hope the dlcs come out soon! Also, since Neytiri's my fave character ever I watch her take down those scorpions nonstop, even tho it looks hard you still did a great job! Feels so good to clear their pollution from the air!

Yes. Never seen a game with graphics & music so good combined together since black ops 2 zombies. Currently recording all ambiences in the storyline that appear at certain quests right before you ‘activate’ a cutscene or area. There gonna be even more better sounding ambiences then this one, including RDA ambiences, where I don’t need to touch the audiofile for making it sound more relaxing

@@MikePietersenoooooh I can’t wait for you to release them !!

In 1 week I will upload some more consistently of these ambiences. Currently reworking the visuals for my 10 minute song theme of Avatar: The Way of Water that captures the whole journey of the movie.

Done with the avatar 2 fan made theme project, waiting for a content claim to drop. Now recording the ambience atm where you become the kinglor via the eye of eywa mission. Most harmonic, peaceful ambience ever recorded of the game now. Gonna split this ambience up in different parts since the music changes subtly on certain locations of the kinglor path. It is too beautiful to adjust the sounds all together for consistent loudness. Hopefully uploaded in 3 to 5 days from now

@@MikePietersen can’t wait

Thanks buddy, had the same thought when i was making this. Besides the under-marketing, I have seen a lot of various criticisms on CZcams about the game, which can be justified to some degree and is being updated for, like the new update v1.03, but to enjoy something in life means letting go of being critical everyday. I think people forget that a lot. They are missing the point. The mounted mods set sounds interesting to take out all RDA enemies at bases only via air while struggling to stay alive with all the anti-air systems while being underleveled, on hard difficulty & no bellsprigs. You almost get oneshotted at this ‘realistic’ difficulty with the anti-air systems. Snipers & some wildlife one-shots you after the 1st ‘warning’ hit

@@MikePietersen I encountered one base in the southwest of Clouded Forest that had some advanced ground-to-ground turrerts that spotted me sneaking in. I'm gonna try aerial assault as I didn't spot any ground-to-air turrets in that strange base. IMHO, they should have had more bases with ground-to-ground only so you'd have to switch it up and destroy one base ground-style and the next base aerial assault.

Thanks buddy, hopefully Ubisoft brings more challenging fights, or even a harder difficulty when the DLC comes out. New types of RDA enemies to change the dynamics of the battle. And new types of guns or arrows. We will find out soon this summer.

That's 'Black Wind Heavy Bow'. The design of that fire arrow will be available when the quest 'Black Wind' is activated after you have talked to Ri'nela. To get the quest Black Wind, you first have to complete the quest 'A Shadow And A Retreat' in the upper plains which you can activate at a random Research Lab where a Na'vi is waiting for you.

Yes you are right. People can go stealth mode of course. However after completing the campaign 1st time without thinking about anything, I wanted to discover on a new character how far you can go with high difficulty, being underleveled, no bellsprigs and going all-in. I like setting the bar high to make it fun and challenging

Yea definitely, first strike OST at ground combat and the air music that isn’t in ubisoft playlist on YT for air combat.

Thanks! Was surprised that I hit it in 40 minutes when trying for the 1st time. You can do a lot more things in this game than people might think at the first glance.
