Baldur’s Gate 3 OST - (that one REALLY good goblin’s fight theme) - Borislav Slavov

[@VSX0021OmegaGundam]

This is actually the goblin battle theme after an ally falls in combat. Most combat themes have ally down and enemy down variants

[@TheBangBangg]

Some also have a theme for when you land a critical hit or felled an enemy. Basically when the fight is going your way and it sounds so triumphant.

[@stars-and-clouds]

This is amazing. The variations put in and effort gone into this game is amazing.

[@02091992able]

The fights are not all that bad if you deal with Minthara first. Which I would recommend it as a good time to use non-lethal attacks. Too good of a character to just kill. Then stealing the smokepowder barrels from the trader by entering using the beam overhead you can then use those to blow up the entire group with Razgolin and then that just leaves Gutt to deal with. If you are an elf/half elf you cannot let her knock you out as the potion she gives you doesn't work on them.

[@kiro253]

​@@02091992ableI dont remember he asked for a guide..

[@Quarter324]

I love how the combat music is dynamic - how the music swells when you kill an enemy or when it becomes tortured/frantic when an ally is downed. Larian really thought of everything.

[@honey-hunterslimefanno.3257]

It really could have been better though. Instead of it being so simplistic with it, just being "when ally creature dies, play (sound) for (duration) " etc they should have made it change permanently based off the health of your allies and enemies. If your characters altogether have at least 50 percent more health total than enemies, good music would play, normal at inbetween, and desperate music when you have less than 25 percent of the enemies total health.

[@kyro8581]

​@@honey-hunterslimefanno.3257it could have, sure. But that wasn't how they wanted to implement it, besides, it's still more dynamic than what you said

[@honey-hunterslimefanno.3257]

@@kyro8581 It isn't more dynamic than that. You can have a summoned 1 health rat die to an enemy and the music will flare up like you've lost something vital and are now at risk of losing

[@MatiasGRivera]

[@sihplak]

I cheesed the hell out of the fight: I made a staircase of crates above the spider pit, used minor illusion to lure him on top of it, snuck behind him with Karlach, entered turn based mode to get the angle and timing right, then shoved him into the spider pit. It brought him down to I think around 10 health. From there, the rest of my party having been undetected, I used them to launch fire bolts from stealth to hit him with advantage, taking him out in just two more attacks lmao.

[@voiavictor]

Honestly, I was playing as Karlach and the second I realised he has no loot (checking with Astarion) I just shoved him in the damned pit (after he shoved me 3 times and I had to reload).

[@SergioMendoza760]

Not that the music is bad in this game, because it’s most definitely not and the title screen alone has one of the most recognizable songs I’ve remembered in any RPG in recent memory, rivaled only by Skyrim and fallout for me in terms of recognizability. But I really wish there was MORE bangers like this and they were worked into the story and fights and would change more frequently. Considering how many fights there are in the game I always assumed there would be more variety for battle music but this is the only one that even sticks out to me because it’s just so good as battle music. Especially when fighting Ragzlin because he’s just an absolute bastard to deal with so early on.

[@Finn-wc8nq]

The ost changes depending on how well your fights goings and even changes if you land a crit, I’ve never heard this theme in game cuz I never went down in the goblin camp and I’m sure there’s tons of other examples throughout the game

[@SergioMendoza760]

@@Finn-wc8nq that would actually make a lot of sense, I’m playing on tactician now on my 2nd character, and unless it’s a boss fight I feel like my party is rarely put into tough spots because they’re just so strong and I feel like I rarely make mistakes when I’m in combat. That would explain why I never really hear change ups in the music lol.

wish the different contextual music like this would change its trigger depending on how well you've been doing so far in the playthrough. like if you are just absolutely smashing through every fight with each easy victory the trigger for ally down music like this changes to be on an ally reaching 1/4 health then just taking a big hit then half health etc. so even when we are cheesing fights we can still hear this great music on occasion.
