- ...Within the forest tangle I discovered an entrance leading down into the central dome of a great underground edifice once dedicated to Magnus, the God of Sight, Light, and Insight. Dimly lit by the faded power of its magical pools, the shattered white walls of the enclosure shimmered with a cold blue light…
...The marble benches of the central plaza faced out across the surrounding waters to tall columns and sharp arches supporting the high dome. From the central island, stately bridges spanned the still pools to narrow walkways behind the columns, with broad vaulted avenues and limpid canals leading away through ever-deeping gloom into darkness. Reflected in the pools were the tumbled columns, collapsed walls, and riotous root and vine growth thriving the dark half-light of the magical fountains…
...The ancient Ayleids recognized not the four elements of modern natural philosophy - earth, water, air, and fire - but the four elements of High Elf religion - earth, water, air, and light. The Ayleids considered fire to be but a weak and corrupt form of light, which Ayleid philosophers identified with primary magical principles. Thus their ancient subterranean temples and sanctuaries were lit by lamps, globes, pools, and fountains of purest magic…
...It was by these ancient, faded, but still active magics that I knelt and contemplated the departed glories of the long-dead Ayleid architects. Gazing through the glass-smooth reflections of the surrounding pools, I could see, deep below, the slow pulse, the waxing and waning of the Welkynd stones…
...The chiefest perils of these ruins to the explorer are the cunning and deadly mechanisms devised by the Ayleids to torment and confound those would invade their underground sanctuaries. What irony that after these many years, these devices should still stand vigilant against those who would admire the works of the Ayleids. For it is clear... these devices were crafted in vain. They did not secure the Ayleids against their true enemies, which were not the slaves who revolted and overthrew their cruel masters, nor were they the savage beast peoples who learned the crafts of war and magic from their Ayleid masters. No, it was the arrogant pride of their achievements, their smug self-assurance that their empire would last forever, that doomed them to fail and fade into obscurity...

I must admit, dungeon musics were a lot creepier on Oblivion than Skyrim.
In Skyrim they are more relaxing than creepy imo
Exactly.... Skyrim was never scary. Also, the caves in oblivion were a lot darker.
Agrre
that's why I play the oblivion soundtrack in the background while I play skyrim :)
Much like the zombies
*"Hey, you hear that?*
*The guards are coming... for you!*
*He he he ha ha ha."*
God that line is burned into my brain forever
So glad you get to kill him
Baurus, lock that door behind us.
he he he ha ha!
I don’t think I found this before, now I want to be scared for life too
Falling asleep to this video difficulty: *Master*
You cannot sleep when enemies are nearby.
Not liking: Requires a Key
It’s mysterious and peaceful at the same time my favorite ost of all time
They're pretty relaxing honestly.
Oblivion's dungeons were truly something to fear
Skyrim's dungeon ambience are calming compared to Oblivion's, which truly evokes suspense
I agree
Not only because of the music, but scared getting hit by a goblin or using the wrong weapon was gonna accidentally level me up (which makes your character weaker in oblivion for some reason).
@@sephiroticempires you had to sleep to level up...
@@kaesi6118 True , I could've just never slept, but I always make my characters sleep for immersion lol so it was unavoidable. Just had to do that efficient level up grind
This soundtrack really makes you feel like you are in a deep dark dungeon, all alone.
Man I remember being a little kid getting “the chills” and “goose bumps” funneling my way through each turn awaiting anything to jump out at any moment. One thing for certain, The music didn’t make me feel anymore comfortable
This music still creeps me out but it full on terrified me the first time I played. I would put off going into dungeons because of how scared I was lol
Me too!! The music was so well composed that I felt real fear at turning a corner. After many hours of gameplay it became easier to go to caverns etc, but I still got the occasional jump-scare if a troll or zombie made that horrifying gurgling sound. True horror! I never played Skyrim, but Oblivion would be hard to beat in the soundtrack area.
So your me in first person view at a casino it fuckin lame as fuck your old your equipped with like 400 gold and a dagger its dark on this red rock your skooma is wearing off you got one left your hungry your at a side market place everything is shit the dunmer are all fucked young kids you heavily look down on them going through your own lifes bullshit you feel the time to strike near by your battle music never kicks in at the time wanted to lots on npcs around the small map area noise this way that way the women/skeevers are fucking loud and stupid your just around a folk its chaos you find space in a small circle to feed then the sound of all hell like a oblivion gate fire roars in the background the next move escape back to promised land....
I had to turn it off once because I had to face Dread Zombies.
I can't tell just how much I miss playing Oblivion. Exploring the dungeons, soaking up the beautiful countryside etc, it's such a brilliant game. I wish I could play it all over again for the first time
skyblivion
Nothing wrong with going back to it now. I come back to Oblivion every couple years or so.
@@stevej71393 I'm going to start playing it again now. Was only the other night I was playing it at a friends house and it brought back all of the nostalgia
"You... I've seen you.."
"Let me see your face."
"You are the one from my dreams. Then the stars were right. This is the day. Gods give me strength."
*What's going on?*
"Assassins attacked my sons and I am next."
"My blades are leading me out of the city along a secret escape route. By chance, the entrance to that escape route leads through your cell."
*Who are you?*
"I am your Emperor, Uriel Septim. By the grace of the gods I serve Tamriel as her ruler."
"You are a citizen of Tamriel, and you too shall serve her in your own way."
*Why am I in jail?*
"Perhaps the Gods have placed you here so that we may meet."
"As for what you have done, it does not matter. THAT... is not what you will be remembered for."
*What should I do?*
"You will find your own path. Take care, there will be blood and death before the end."
Truly one of the greatest games of all time
You the real mvp for typing this all out. My ocd thanks you
"You can't sleep when there are enemies nearby."
Hahaha this was so scary
I remember I was like, “What? Enemies are near me? Where?” And then, cue the attack music.😂
Then you look around like, "where?" And here comes a big ass rat coming towards you
@@RedRose0395 Turns out its a rat stuck on the pathway xD
@@TheBeerhammer That’s what happened to me one time! I remember how after seeing that, I just simply walked away, and the attack music switches right back to one of these soundtracks.🤣
Can’t decide whether this is relaxing or creepy lol...”Whaaat? Who’s there?....You’ll never take me alive!”
Also am I the only one hearing the tinks and page flipping from opening my inventory? 😅
bruh same and i can hear like the clanking from completing like a quest aaaa
I’m getting proficiency level up drums for a skill like sneaking and that too as an extra noise I hear in my head.
"Must've been been the wind" says a bandit with an arrow sticking out of their face
this proves that soundtrack creepiest and disturbing that elder scroll oblivion is a dark fantasy
I swear when my life will slow down a bit i'm going to download Oblivion and play it again.
i was thinking this today
Did you play it?
We need an update
Update?
I still remember these times, times were a lot simpler. Oblivion was everything but also nothing. When you needed a break from it all oblivion would always be there.
Just got done doing the Saints and Seducer quest in Skyrim and walking into those sewers and hearing this lovely sound....almost enough to make a grown man cry
Also loved how the sewers resembled the Burrow area in the Shivering Isles. It's nice to see appreciation for Oblivion
I love how these tracks use mostly synths when the rest of the soundtrack is more orchestral, gives it an otherworldly feel
I used to pause the game and let this music run while i was sleeping. Felt safe in a cave.
I'm letting Arch Mage Traven know we found a necromancer.
You’re sick
don't listen to these heretics, i sleep to this often lol, and necromancy is cool
Going to be playing this game for my 1st time this christmas!
Be sure and get all the DLC. It’s worth it.
Make sure to grasp the environment. Oblivion is more colorful than Skyrim.
Also get unofficial patch. Maybe even add in the music from Skyrim and Morrowind.
What factions will you choose?
we're so jealous
Man, the dungeons in this game...they just felt so eerie compared to Skyrim. Don't get me wrong, Skyrim is an amazing and incredible game and I really enjoy a lot of the dungeon exploration in it. But there's just something about the dungeons in Oblivion...like the ones beneath the city, it feels so isolated from the rest of the game and the atmosphere is spooky and unsettling. You truly felt so distanced and far away from the rest of the gameworld above you, like if you were to die down there, nobody would ever find you...
Shyrims dungeons were too well lit and had too many holes leading to the outside world. In oblivion you felt like you literally in a hole that nobody would find tour body in if you died.
@Abyssal Horror I agree. The feeling that you were in an ancient place truly removed from the surface was not entirely comforting, but the lure of treasure....
Oblivion dungeons were copy paste job...
HS character pfp?
@@leofender909 yes, from like 2012 or whenever i made this account lul ive never changed it
"By Sithis, i haven't got all day hurry it up!"
Foul smelling ape
I fear no man, but that thing 4:53, it scares me
I didn’t remember that in the game
Dude that whole theme creeps me out
that was the goblins i think
Man, I remember zombies giving me the creeps in this game.
Am I the only one who finds dungeon music in oblivion relaxing?
i think it is great to have on while reading a book, or tidying or pretty much any moment. oblivion soundtrack as a whole was a master piece.
Even though this is just a loop of 5 songs it manages to not feel repetitive at all, oblivion soundtrack aged really well and i always come back for more
"Must have been the wind"
this
Oblivion dungeons give me a feeling of dread I cant explain.
Especially aylied ruins after reading the lore about how they tortured human slaves.
That church taken over by necromancers was one of the most memorable bits of twisted fantasy I’ve encountered in a game.
Oblivion did such a better job compared to Skyrim imo for the actually important bits of immersion. No amount of fishing mods or yearly re-releases can fix the cold generic atmosphere
@@roddydykes7053 When I was searching an Aylied ruin for the first time, a skeleton walked across a long hall in front of me.....I was literally terrified! I just wanted to run, as the immersion was complete with the eerie music, the dark halls, and the faint creak of leg bones chattering up ahead. Not cool. Took me a few hours of playing the game before I could sit comfortably in my computer chair.
Must have been 13 years old when I got this game, remember the older computer i had would struggle to keep up with the fps. Ill never forget the first time I exited the sewer in the beggining of the game and that amazing scenery that was displayed, the most beautiful thing i ever seen.
*I can already hear me clicking for more space in my inventory...*
From late 90s to mid 2000s it felt like every game had this dark and gritty atmosphere about it that's since been lost.
Love this game. Now you go through colorful and beautiful forests with nice music and one minute later you are in Amnesia.
ugh. dont even remind me
The sheer darkness of these dungeons, and the suspenseful music made them really scary to delve into as a kid. Oblivion's dungeons are way more suspenseful and atmospheric than Skyrim's dungeons.
2:38, 6:25 & 11:23 - Those distant water and rock noises were always so damn creepy, but they made the dungeon experience even better.
I see him... just out of view. Waiting to tell me something...
*THE GUARDS ARE COMING - FOR YOU! HEE HEE HEE HEE!*
Takes me back to sitting in one corridor for ages trying to sneak past a wraith
hehe oh my, its the detect life spell that i loved, you knew what enemys would be in the cave the second you used it, uuuuuhh and the zombies were such a pain heeheh
Ngl, as a kid this music scared the hell out of me. And now at 20 it still gives me chills. It's beautiful in a haunting way, but damn is it creepy
Ghosts and Liches still freak me out to this day
I was always creeped out by the undead creatures in dungeons
@@freshbeans Ghosts and Liches never scared me. Zombies though......."Groan gurgle" wet slapping of rotten feet running in the dark...
These soundtracks make me feel... like, nostalgic and feeling that are hard to describe!, you know?
@Sol de Mayo What is lovecraftian?, I've heard that before...
@@shootingstar175 cthulhu, etc.
Running face to face with a wraith in an Ayleid ruin with this playing in the background, made me never want to go into a dungeon again with the music up... Soule composed the stuff of nightmares here...
Imagine a horror movie where a player somehow became trapped in Oblivion, trying to tell other gamers not to go into a certain quest without becoming part of the game. A supposed 'normal' game character started talking off script and kept getting punished for it. What would that be like?
Oblivion had the best dungeon music, ambience, and most creepy vibe and atmosphere in the series.
I remember when I beat the game and at the point when Chancellor Ocato started talking to me about how there's uncertain times for the future of the Empire the last creepiest part of 'Wind from the Deaths' played right on cue, it was very fitting.
“Valen Dreth! Valen Dreth! Valen Dreth!”
I truly enjoyed killing him later on
This is great mood music. Thanks for uploading it. It also brings back a lot of memories of creeping through the creepy, abandoned alabaster halls of the Ayleids with my trusty Akavari Warblade!
I keep coming back to this video
still gives me goosebumps...
Hot take:
Ayleids are FAR more interesting than Dwemer.
they're ruins are very fun to explore, I love the puzzle element
You know nothing, John Sno’
Beautiful Ambience
Wow, so many people commenting how eerie & scary the music feels to them shows how much of a goth girl I am. After Lord Leviticus turned me into a vampire I lived in Crow Haven & other ruins until I got in the Sanctuary. The music is just homey to me. 🦇
1:13 Wind from the depths is my favorite out of all of them, truly terrifying listening to that as you explore the depths of these dark monster infested dungeons
This is so haunting. The description from the book is beautifully written. 💜
I love this ambience and location! Thanks for this music and video.
skyrim draugr aint go no shit on the really creepy and repulsive oblivion zombie. the skeevers are cute doe... i dont wanna smack em with sword, tryinna sneak by
It feels my heart with warmth, to see you again brother
I always come back to this video. somehow the eerie music calms me in a way other music cannot.
Midnight, time for sleep, I'll just quickly check what's in this door here.
2 hours later...
I want a medieval cafe. These songs really spark ideas, wish me luck, adventure with you, hope this dream come true one day
3:39 came here for this one note
*Oblivion is officially 18 years old.* 🥳
We can legally take Oblivion out for a few cold ones in most countries now, so cheers and here's to the next 18!
🍻
Surprisingly calm, relaxing music. I sleep well in the dungeonXD
The art style in this game is peak Elder Scrolls for me. Skyrim's graphics were terrific in a technical sense but they made it a bit too realistic for me, with all the dirt and grime and bedraggled people. 😅 Oblivion was the perfect blend of realism while still retaining enough cartoonishness to resemble a living storybook. It is a truly lovely game world and I love simply being in it.
All the forts, caves, Ayleid Ruins and dungeons I explored... terrifying monsters and fantastic treasures.
This music set puts me to sleep so dang quickly, thank you for this
The dungeon Ost tracks in Oblivion are second to none.
Absolute top, nice work as usual. Thanks a bunch, bud.
Pls say this Jeremy Soule
Yep, after 16 years this still scares the hell out of me
Oh man this is making me so nostalgic. I remember playing on a late evening making my character. Suddenly my bladder says it’s time to pee. I pause my character creation and go pee. I shit you not I felt shivers going back to my TV. I was playing with the TV speakers and I was so invested in the character making I didn’t realize how creepy the music was until I walked back. The music is creepy yet somehow cozy at the same time.
Tense and creepy... yet so nostalgic.
I need a 10 hour version.
Yeah, let's get that back!
LOVED the dungeons in this game. The ambience was perfect for bad guy hunting. Didn't like the leveling system of the game though.
18:00 POV: You are goblin's rat
Very nice ambient !!
Little eerie yet so cozy
Thanks as always.
Thank you for this!
Currently reading Dantes Inferno to this
I miss your rainy dungeon mix so much :( I wish I had saved them. Tried playing it layered but it is not working that well.
these videos are so good for dnd thank you
My Halloween 2021 soundtrack! 🎃👻🌙🕷️🕸️🖤
Great video! ❤️
man, I want to replay oblivion for the 10th time and not finish my current games like I said :)
Hearing these soundtracks give me a ton of ideas on how I should write creepy music. As well as the scene that will fit that soundtrack.
Next time I go caving, I will play this on speaker.
He's back yay!
Shit hit different back on the xbox 360....
Ancient Sorrow sound like something from Amnesia, Deep Waters and wind from the depths are pure horror soundtracks
I love Oblivion's music, but i have to say the dungeon tracks get a bit repetitive after some time. I added few more tracks to the game for more variety, one of the tracks was Path Of Exile - Church Dungeon and it fits so perfectly, i highly suggest check it out. I never played Path Of Exile so for me it only reminds me of Oblivion hehe
UNWATCHABLE with an ad every THIRTY SECONDS
I've been keeping everything ad-free for years. This and a couple of other Oblivion videos have some (almost certainly false) copyright issues, so it's out of my hands. At least for a while longer.
@everness5058 Yeah I figured that's what happened. I listened every night and was listening when they were removed. I really hope you get them back! I NEED rainy day and night ambience. Love the channel.
I better cut down on the ale, starting to see things I am.
Way darker and scarier than Skyrim But honestly, go back farther in the series and the dungeons get even creepier... in Arena they were sprawling, plus randomly generated with even moodier music... so you would get lost underground in a maze, multiple levels down.. you'd spend days down there just hoping nothing would find you when you finally had to sleep.
*You are over-encumbered*
Absolute classic.
does anyone else use this audio to study? idk why i like it so much
Man, those really capture the feeling of a dungeon. Same with the Morrowind ones. Skyrim dungeon music is also nice but it's not really like the music in Oblivion and Morrowind. And that's coming from someone who got into TES through Skyrim. However Soule did great work on all soundtracks on all TES games and also Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2. Those are my favorites
I want Jeremy Soule making Fallout 5's ost
he should be busy in prison
@@tfwnoyandere Huh?
Oblivion went hard
god i wish they would remaster oblivion instead of skyrim for the 1000th time love the music and story of this game
It got a lot of path of exile theme into it yet oblivion came waayyyy before it
Someone needs to revive this gem of music back into Elder Scrolls, or at least top it in future Elder Scroll games, Skyrim music was terrible, I swear half the time aside from the never really hearing any dungeon music that actually fits with the theme the battle music was slow to play whilst in battle if it even played at all, Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion music was always on point.
Agreed. Skyrim ambiental music was outstanding, but battle music and especially dungeon music were kind of lacking.
There is a mod that allows you to add oblivions and morrowinds music into the mix
*Still* haven't Finished oblivion..
Then pay with your blood!..BLLUURAGAGYAH
@@AmbientAnalogue Someone's been murdered! Someone's been murdered! MAN DOOOWN!!
Come now, there's no need to get violent!
Sameer Aziz We're all talking about the emperor's murder. We have no emperor. And no heir. That's never happened before. I suppose we should all be worried.
I've finished it multiple times.
Back in the day I played Oblivion on an old windows 98, it was so ugly but I had fun. The dungeons were far less scarier on the 98 than when I played it on a stronger rig. The shadows could actually be displayed unlike the windows 98.
12:39 What's the name of this place?
i believe it is Dunbarrow Cove, yer pirates awaits you there
It is not Dunbarrow Cove, it's the secret hidden ghost pirate section of the Black Rock Caverns discovered by turning a secret spectral lever behind a rock
