![Darkest Dungeon OST - The Final Combat [EXTENDED + NARRATOR QUOTES]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0uR1UfFy0SM/mqdefault.jpg)
Happy to finally post some new combat music. You might of heard this in the launch trailer for the game a few weeks back. It's roots lie in the music for THE WARRENS from the first game.
I hope you enjoy. Leave a comment and let me know where you're listening from!
Sorry for the timezone and choice. Most Europeans will be sleeping but then again, I've played my share of games at 3am!
Make that four AM. And university doesn't help with staying up late for something exciting.
But regardless, I will easily wait for the time I am awake. _Regroup, reassemble. Music is timeless, after all._
as much as I enjoyed discovering the first two themes during the premiere, I am already listening the whole album non stop since I bought the game and soundtrack, so i will not stay awake the whole night for this one haha, great ost!!
@@StuartChatwood wow AMAZINGGGGG ❤️

They bred too quickly in the dark...
And now we can't slay them fast enough anymore...
They're coming...
"Tread quickly and carefully. This is Swine country."
The Swine Drummer do be doing his job extremely well!
As someone who plays your music while playing tabletop games, I’ve gotta say:
Hearing the warrens theme in here was like a slap in the face from an old enemy.
Understand, I used battle in the ruins for the first fight of a campaign, and the party kinda got clapped for the first few rounds.
Suffice it to say, they’re a superstitious bunch now.
You seeing Wilbur again be like: czcams.com/video/9ePLZyI2jZY/video.html
Same! We used it too in our campaign. Perfect for harsh grimdark kinda campaigns and sessions. Just great work! - I feel like there is also a part that reminds me of "The Cove Battle" from 3:11 on.
Sluiffice to say
You should remind them that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
Stuart is the only composer besides Toby Fox that I will willingly set a reminder to listen to his music. It's *THAT* good.
I also recommend Christopher Larkin
There are tons of composers you should check out if you like this one.
The Hades OST is made by Zag's voice actor.
Christopher Larkin is a god. (Hollow Knight)
I mean take your pick. There are insane amounts of great orchestra OSTs out there.
@@-ShiraZen- Hades composer is called Darren Korb. Just to make searching for him easier.^^
Graham Plowman is also incredible. He’s on here as well and makes orchestral/soundscapes of HP lovecraft and similar cosmic horror stories.
Mick gordon is good too I dont even like metal but I like his music
Stuart, I said it before but I use your tracks for my DnD sessions. When I first heard this theme as an homage to the Warrens, I got chills. My players’ party has almost been wiped by werewolves while the Warrens theme played; can’t wait to use this one they will be absolutely terrified.
So I am not the only one who does this 😁
Yup, been doing the exact same thing in my DnD campaigns
Being endorsed by Freddie Mercury is quite a badge of honour for a composer.
Huh... coincidence... i think not! I do also used DD soubdtrack for my first 5e one shot
You made a pavlovian response in your players...
Use it wisely and with evil intentions....
The ghost of lil Wilbur haunts me.
I hate to break it to you, but he's not as ghastly as you'd hope... nor... as small.
@@NinjaLayor Now Wilbur will Obliterate Masses!
Remember how well and cozy everything was back at the hamlet region? Granted, everything was corrupted: the shadows of the ruin, the twisted paths of wealds, the lovecraftian coves, those sick bloody warrens, god damned courtyard, shattered by the cosmos itself poisoned farmstead, and, ofcourse, the darkest dungeon itself. But it was cozy nonetheless, due to how close everything was and that no matter what, you WILL return back to the tiny hamlet, ordering a respite to those poor souls under your command, be it by the warmth of brothel, or sweet stinging sensation of the whip. You HAD your turf. Home.
For me, this track shows how fucking utterly BAD situation is in Darkest Dungeon universe in the second game. No more close, stiched together, incident of a region. Instead, it is now EVERYTHING IS FUCKING IS DOOMED situation, no matter where you go! You dont have home anymore, no more "hub" area, only a pathetic moments of regaining breath in a nearby inn. The moment i succumbed to my curiocity, i clicked on Sluice as a point of venturing forth, without understanding where will it take me, and without understanding the meaning of the word Sluice itself, because english is not my native. Even when i heard Ancestor say something like: "This area is not only a home to rats", it didnt struck me right away what i have just chosen as my path. Only when i've met the cursed stress halo made in swine style, i finaly realized, where i am...
The Sluice soundtrack shows you so brightly, that no matter where you go, you are coming there as a god damn stranger, unlike, again, back at the hamlet, where you despose of creatures in YOUR home. Remember how patheticly EASY were the warrens even on the "long/hard" difficulty, due to how super tiny they are? Its was just a box that you could abuse untill the end of your days, dodging and ditching the "unpleasant" path, by going up and down. Well, boyo, not anymore, cause here, in this mammoth labyrinth of swine country, you - are a trespasser.
I also like to think, that Wilbur straight up trained the swinefolk how to fight, how to get rid of unwelcomed guests. Notice how much more armored and tactical pigs now are, to the point of little piggies being as scary as big bois...not as scary as Swine Skiver tho, that fuck straight makes me stressed up IRL due to PTSD he left me with from the first game...
Gotta say, that "Sprawl Battle (4) Extended Ver." that you can find here on youtube is fa-a-ar superior of a track in DD2 album (Stuart outdid himself there), but this track works super great with this "new warrens" design.
Sadly, with Foetor existing i guess we will not hear "The Weald encounter" remix, which is my Darkest Dungeon favourite ost, but oh well.
Thank you very much Stuart. Its a real treat
You can hear the Weald tho.
On the freaking mountain.
My' man write a essay and boy, it gives so much in nostalgia and really how DD2 has been bearing the light (pun included) of DD1's legacy.
All to say : nice comment!
I bought the album,
It's sickeningly good to hear those kick ass tracks in 720p so it's not justified it's only worth 8$, I ended up gave 15$.
Can't wait to seeing full released of the album with the game including just as a bonus.
Thanks for the support. Buying the record enables me to keep on doing what I do!
@@StuartChatwood Of course, I would get another copy when it's on Steam too.
Thank you for making the game more immersive and enjoyable.
i enjoy the lower strings on this one so much, it really gives off the extreme hopelessness associated with everything surrounding how far the outbreak from the warrens has reached. Just problems mounting on top of problems conveyed through the heavy swings through the strings.
I smiled when I saw the warrens again in DD2. I smiled even more when I realized that this theme had bits from the original warrens battle.
Like yourself I was happy to see the return of the Warrens and an opportunity to expand on the original piece of music.
I legit got goosebumps when I first heard this. How do you only come up with top shelf stuff man?
I tend to throw out the bad ideas. Some combat cues took me 3 or 4 attempts. I might spend 40-80 hours on a bad idea and then shelf it if it doesn't feel right.
@@StuartChatwood mad respect for the amazing work! You are such a massive part of the atmopshere of DD.
@@StuartChatwood Stuarts Resolve is being tested: Inspired!
What I love most is how the Swine Skulkers look like they’re vibing to their own theme.
The string instruments introduced at 2:50 after almost three minutes of build-up are so goddamn tasteful!! Incredible
Oh man oh man, now I can't stop thinking about revamps of the Ruins and Town in Chaos
This is the best Birthday present ever!
"Ruin has found you at last."
Was it a challenge to take the old Warrens theme and turn it into something new? I think it turned out great, and I love the use of strings not just in this theme but across the DD2 soundtrack in general. I can’t wait to hear more
i love it when the idle animation of those little invisible pigs sync with the rhyme of the battle music
Me: You can't make Darkest Dungeon music any better than it already is.
Stewart Chatwood: Hold my hope
4:13 Such a fun little segment of this track. Somehow it perfectly captures the feeling of fighting disgusting pig creatures, I love it so much. Favorite track in the whole series so far.
I love how the song just jumps into wild intensity. It's as if you are allowed only a single gasp before the bloodletting piglets come for your regret.
I already liked the beat to battle in the Warrens, but you went ahead and made it downright intimidating. And I absolutely adore how many more layers there are now to the track, lovely Work.
Let's get this gamer bread
4:13 stress level rose up to border line, keeping me in tone and inhuman concentration, reminding that my every wrong step on slippery ground and every wrong inhale of air with metallic smell may send me right into the pit of hungry flesh
This is the theme song for "Your assignments are now due in one hour."
I knew from the trailer that this one would be a banger, thanks again for the music. The part that starts at 4:14 always get me moving along with the characters!
this guy right here is a legend, from the Tea Party to Prince of Persia soundtracks and DD. you're awesome dude.
The music always compliments the area so well, I cant even imagine the pigs without these drums in their music
Foul creatures! You do not scare for as I will be victor..
Little piggie: *squeals*
*THE HORROR IS COMING BACK*
Damn, that's some *ENERGY*
Listening from Moscow at 4:30 in the morning
Thanks for staying up so late!
Darkest Dungeon wouldn't be the same without you Mr.Chatwood.
I'm still super glad you are on the job.
Wilbur: Sigma rule no. 12: Never rely on Beta Swine King, grind yourself into a Sigma Swine Lord instead
Yes this is nostalgic for me. Thanks sir Stuart!
I love your work!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Woo yeah baby
This is an incredibly refreshing take on the original music tracks...the wider range of audio techniques is so incredibly impressive.
I am happy to read through the comments and see many others use Stuart's music for their D&D games.
Stuart, you manage to make amazing music *every* time.
A really fitting alternative for our old warrens music, brings back memories, a polished job as always Mr. Chatwood! Big fan!
Sorry I missed the premier for this, Stuart. I was busy listening to the track in-game, and then listening to it again after buying your Bandcamp album
I've been playing through the game, still suck at it but doing decent cause yknow, played dd1 all the time. And the music never gets old. love it
This made me realise how much I want a remix of the Cove
I like that there’s aspects of the warrens in this, considering the themes for both areas are similar.
hearing the part at 4:14 while the skulkers spin around after doing their attack is just perfect
This is honestly awesome. It gives of the feeling of a revamped and more intimidating warrens from dd1
I hear the thundering drums of the warrens. Already a favorite of mine!
Imagine Stuart's cameo in the game as a court musician or something and the ancestor refer to him as an old acquaintance.
Bits of the warrens comes back to haunt me and I love it.
Stuart how do produce banger after banger it's unreal🥺🥺
easily my favorite battle theme keep up the amazing work 😍😍😍😳
I missed the premiere, but I came as quick as I could nonetheless. Anyway, it's good stuff, yeh, real guttural and primal. Kudos, Chadwood!
re return to the warrens
Damn!! The Warrens has returned as The Sluice. Brilliant as ever, getting goosebumps listening to something similar yet so different.
Wherever the swine live, the best music in the game WILL be played. This is true in both games. FANTASTIC work here.
Battle in the Warrens but it SLAPS even more!!
I’m very unlearned in the specifics of music composition but I’ve always loved the industrial sounding percussions in the Warrens in DD1. So glad they came back with a vengeance.
And the strings added onto the warrens melody make it sound so tense.
This goes on the D&D playlist for sure, please keep up the fantastic work
I have been in Sluice one time and this zone is so incredibly difficult but bringing my entier team to critical state with no health, negative relationships and stressed the fuck out on the FISRT ZONE just to listen this masterpiece, IT'S WORHT IT. And i would do it again. :D
as we all know stuart blesses us with new composed music even if its remade from previous tracks and makes them still slap hard. another 10/10, keep up the good work!
I knew it the moment I heard the trailer music, excellent to hear your re-take on the Warrens, we can all agree to hate the disgusting pigmen.
I am also digging your slight use of synths to universally convey how the world has gone awry, sets a nice precedent which you seem to follow along nicely for all of DD2 combat themes .
I bought the soundtrack from the Epic games store. It wasn't out yet on Bandcamp. I made the right gamble. Everything I've loved from your compositions is in this set. I don't have the musical language and vocabulary to describe your work... but it did not disappoint my expectations.
The track Winding Valley alone. This is not a track that could have been composed by formula. It is soulful. I can do little more than express my deep gratitude on how much you've given to this work.
Thanks for supporting me and my music.
I rely on soundtrack sales in order to keep doing what I do.
@@StuartChatwood I feel so guilty for getting your work at such bargain prices. I hope you make a million bucks, the work you've put out is worth it. I will be listening to these tracks for years. I would help you make a million bucks too, but unfortunately, I am lacking in the knowledge on how to :(
Stuart without you darkest dungeon would have never been the same you are one of the only artists I could spend hours listening to and yet never get bored you are darkest dungeon and I respect you for coming back to give us more eargasms
An evolution of the warrens track for sure one of my favorite tracks from the first game. Stuart you knocked it out of the park with the sequel soundtrack an insta buy for me.
Anyone else mesmerized by the assassin pigs dancing to the rhytm while playing the game?
I remember hearing this in game this first time and I immediately knew I was was in trouble
well done!
I love using your music when I run tabletop games! I can't wait to use this in the next fight my players get into! I only wish we could get more of your work through like independent albums or something, though not sure if you have the time for that.
I plan on releasing a "Table Top" edition of longer cues.
2:50 so good
I know this is a really old video, but i gotta say. This is pure art, especially the way you managed to completely capture the warrens into this while making it feel so much different. Great work :)
Thanks for listening. Glad the music is connecting with people.
Because of this today is a great day already
Thanks
Welcome
and the oscar goes to.. Stuart Chatwood for Sluice and Prince of Persia Warrior Within
Squealing sounds start playing in my head, remembering those times when someone would have a heart attack because a swine puked at him.
YEAHH!!!
Dude your music is so awesome, u just took all that u did in darkest dungeon 1 and made it x3 times better. The inmersion is awesome
"WEEEREEEE BAAAAACK"
*squeaks in fear*
Ah yes, more music to use for DnD sessions, excellent. Good to see you're killing it just as hard in 2 as you did in 1.
Truly your finest work Stewie, the drums be hitting different
I gave this a listen and instantly heard Warrens in there, god damn Stuart you're incredible. Return to the Warrens/Ambush is still my fav of the area themes in dd1.
The top 3 tracks in The Darkest Dungeon 2 for me so far is:
#1 The Sprawl - The momentum of the buildup to the string crescendo is palpable immersion.
#2 The Tangle - The personification of the Darkest Dungeon wrapped up in one track.
#3 Foetor - The Weald v2. The drums hit hard on a different level. One I haven't felt since the likes of The Dark Knight.
Ok, now here's mine top 3
#1 Battle For The Mountain: hits the sweet spot with a point blank shot
#2 The Shroud: it's got that pirate shanty vibe
#3 The Inn: DD1 camping theme 2.0
This is an absolute banger!! I love the music you make for these games- keep up the amazing work!
Man I do enjoy that callback to the warrens. I always enjoy sequels perpetuating themes while also adding new life to them like this.
Dammit thats so good!
Can i hear memories of mutant pigs screams behind all the epic music
I love you, man
Had to buy the album, thanks for your incredible work. Darkest Dungeon wouldn't be the same without you.
Fantastic as always! That little Warrens homage is spot on! Can't wait for more!
More to come!
I remember when i first entered the Sluice,saw warrens and tought oh i miss the old warrens OST,then This soundtrack poped off. It still got Battle in the Warrens vibe to it. I love it! Cant imagine Darkest Dungeon without these awesome soundtracks. Thank you so much! This soundrack legit gives you will to fight. All my party members didn,t want to clear warrens and flee, Well sorry for them, i enjoyed this soundtrack way to much and they had to fight even if they didnt wanted to!
Excellent work!
Many thanks!
I think this is a really good mix of the original DD1 style with the new vibe of DD2.
Stuart, buddy. You keep hitting all these bangers like this, your going to crack the world with the sheer awesome
Now this is how you improve perfection.
Thats more then TTP now. Brilliant
Musical genius.
You are absolutely KILLING it with this new soundtrack, Stuart, always the best of quality from you, dude. 👍
I like how sometimes the little pigs dance syncro with the music, perfect theme
for 4:13 . I need this , more POWER, same of trailer
I would say my favorite thing about DD2 is that Wilbur is an inn item, and one of the best ones
Those drums appear in the Mountain combat as well.
This... will be amazing. I feel it in my bones.
Edit: THIS SLAPS! A VIRTUOUS BLOW!
I agree fantastic work ! And praise the omnissiah😂
WOW WOW AMAZING AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️ AMAZINGGGGG SOUNDTRACK AMAZING
i hear bits and pieces of other tracks in there from the first game like the cove motif. so cool
