That feel at 1:33 continuing onward.

Field Notes: I recognized him from the security footage... he was the one who blew the cargo hatches open. He was the one who killed everyone. Providence, as I came to call him, moved faster and with more purpose than anything else I've seen on this planet. He must command great power, for he seemed to easily control two great gilded worms of a species similar to the Magma Worm. Is he able to command everyone on this planet? I don't know his purpose, or his reasoning, but he did not give me a choice. I had to kill him.. so why do I feel like I made a terrible mistake? ... Why did we have a teleporter from this planet in our cargo hold?

[@icemans1matedude339]

It has come to my attention that Providence was in fact not a bad guy… the reason he attacked the ship was because that teleporter could be used by Mithrix should he break free. If Mithrix escaped the moon he would begin universal domination… starting with Earth. Yeahhh that’s scary

@@RegalRoyalWasTaken Well that wasn’t the crew of the Contact Light that killed Mithrix

[@TheAdmiral14]

I love the concept and design of Providence, and I think the music at least in part may have influenced that. It gives the encounter a feeling of gravity and significance. It has a heavy, yet ominous feeling that previous tracks and "boss themes" didn't reach or exceed. That's not to say they're worse (I love Tropic of Cancer), but rather that the sound is almost "warning" or "indignant." The music goes where it hasn't been before to help the feeling that this is different; you've finally crossed the line and there are consequences to be had.

[@cablekibble2942]

And after the battle, you realize what you have become, hoarding everything from the ship and losing your humanity in the process

[@logicnorespond7100]

This track suits him for more reasons than that, you as the survivor is invasive to the planet. Providence cares for all life that he creates, and you as the survivor come in and kill many creatures throughout a run. And this theme represents his anger for your actions very well.

[@alicestolze8327]

Omg yes, this is the theme song for Consequences

[@lastboss4268]

@@logicnorespond7100 Don't let Providence victim blame you. If he accepted you onto the planet, no one else would have had to die. HE'S the one who ordered everything to kill you on sight. HE'S the one who wouldn't let you go home. Why is the Survivor the bad guy for just trying to survive?

[@mrhat1073]

@@lastboss4268 it's so much more complex than that. what got the survivors in this mess, the Contact Light had a teleporter in the cargo bay and intentionally(?) veered off course into Petrichor V's orbit. Providence could not have accepted the survivors because he viewed them as invasive but, unknowingly he created monsters much worse than he thought. he couldn't have let the survivors leave because they surely would come back and ruin his sanctuary, but again, he just didn't know what kind of creature he was cultivating.

@@avi8aviate if you like commando, a tip: go for on-hit chance effects and attack speed. Stack as many as you can and just focus on not getting hit, and if you luck into just a couple of the right items you start raining death on anything you aim at. Having now long since platinumed this game, I find the easiest to beat the game with are Bandit and Huntress, and repairing droids is paramount to any solo play. Good luck!

[@Zhfreak]

No problem. This is possibly one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a game in a long time. As a matter of fact, when I got to the boss, I was so in love with the song that even though I lost, which would normally prompt me to stop playing for a while, I kept going even if only to lose again just to hear the music as I played.

"And his brother loved worms."

[@Scrambingle]

I am never not confident when I fight Mithrix and I always think "I'm gonna make Mithrix my bitch" every run. Providence actually makes me feel anxious for the fight. Mithrix honestly feels so easy compared to Providence. And the soundtrack I think highlights that. In the lore, Providence loves soul but Mithrix doesn't care for it so I think it makes perfect sense for Providence's theme to be much more intense than Mithrix's because Mithrix doesn't deserve a good theme. Soul is necessary to create and appreciate art but Mithrix doesn't care for soul so he has less art in his song than his brother. Whenever I hear those alarms blare 3 times, I get scared that I'm going to lose this run. Those deep bass thwomps at the beginning are like ominious footsteps of a being much more powerful than you coming to erase you from existence for meddling with their affairs. Providence's theme just screams "badass incoming" and the fight is challenging enough to warrant such a theme. When I see hammer boy on Monsoon, I feel no fear of losing the run. When I press the control panel to escape the planet and am interrupted by worm boy, I feel fear even on drizzle. Providence is just the better brother in both the lore and as a final boss and this song could not be more fitting for instilling the fear you should feel when fighting Providence. If you hear this song and DON'T think "this is a bad idea", your volume is too low

I hear a lot of boss theme leitmotifs in this song. Near the beginning, I can hear some "Hailstorm", and at about 1:05, "Surface Tension", which persists for most of the rest of the song. I feel like at some point I also heard "Monsoon", but I might just be dumb. "Hailstorm" comes back in at 3:18 for the remainder of the song. This is what came to mind when I heard this song. There are probably more, but I did hear these boss themes which is really cool. Great job!

That's one way to do it. Here's another if you're feeling stupid and have the Command Artifact 1. Commando, Glass makes this even more insane 2. Core items: Solider's Syringe, AtG Missile Mk.1 (10 total), Hyper Threader, Beating Embryo, Shattered Mirror and other On-Hit items. 3. Activate Shattered Mirror and use Suppression Fire. If Embryo triggered you should release 18 missiles and lasers in less then a second. Watch the frame rate drop further as you also are using Double Tap so fast due to 100%+ attack speed boost. 4. Buy Drones, Drones and More Drones. With Arms Race to Fill the screen with Missiles! 5. Everything on screen and beyond dies. 6. Get gold to buy more Drones and Items.

[@MELTYYYY]

Better yet, activate Honor, Glass, and Command, stack barbed wire, 56 leaf clovers, and run essentials. Eventually you'll get to the point where everything on screen dies and drops an item each time one of them dies

You’re the colonists invading on the native people’s territory, not the other way around.

[@silvervirage2491]

A theory is that due to the prevalence of ruins of what would look like human constructs, that humans were there for a while and co-existing, and were allowed to research the planet. Humanity wanted the teleporter technology though, and started to take the ones on the planet to ship back to Earth, to use how they wanted through the galaxy. There is a chance that at this point they also started preforming experiments on the Imps. (From the black imp monster log- "I refuse to believe that the Imp has teleportation; that is for fairy tales and quantum physicists. I won't accept that it can achieve something biologically that the human race couldn't achieve in its entire history.") Providence was probably accommodating (again, it appears that there was a substantial human population on the planet, that could have easily been dealt with before it got to the point of entire research stations) until they started looting and killing the, probably docile, inhabitants. (From the Lemurian monster log- "The first sentient species I discovered on my unfortunate arrival.... These Lemurians have an extremely powerful bite but don't seem to employ weapons.... From what I've briefly seen they seem to enjoy song and dance." Child log- "I don't know how else to describe them, they seem so innocent until I approach." (there are lines about them being hostile to the player but it's important to remember that the logs are written by the survivor after the inciting actions of the game)) At this point, he rallied the inhabitants of the planet, and fought off the humans living there. Either some escaped and said what happened, or Earth found out in other ways. Either way, humans were removed from the planet entirely and their stations were destroyed. Enter UES Contact Light. UES itself was sent only to pick up a shipment from the planet. It's unknown if they knew what had happened there before. But they either knew enough to hire, or the Military did, a few mercenaries to protect the crew. These mercenaries though had no idea what the story of the planet was. (From Providence's log- "...so why do I feel like I made a terrible mistake? ... Why did we have a teleporter from this planet in our cargo hold?”). In the end, I do not think that there is much left to worry about for that planet itself. The survivors of that planet will eventually move on I believe. I dont know if they really wanted the natural resources of the planet. They wanted the teleporters. And now humanity has them. So the worst part wasn't what happened to the planet before and during Risk of Rain. What the problem is is that now humanity has the means to actually forcefully colonize or harvest planets anywhere in the universe they want. (ror2s lore actually somewhat leans into this theory also, judging by 'A Moment, Fractured's log seemingly being half of a conversation between brothers that may have developed teleportation tech. It also implies that Earth is doomed, and that the speaking brother is desperate to go out to other planets, but the silent brother seems to have reservations, knowing what humanity will do once there.)

[@smorggs7860]

@@silvervirage2491 I personally think that the two people talking to one another in the Moment fractured log are actually Providence (the silent one) and his, as yet, unnamed brother (the one talking) admiring there work on a primitive form of the teleporter technology, which I believe to be the obelisk. The manner in which the obelisk teleported someone, however, was very deadly, as the focused convergence log says "don't let it take you." which probably means the device was originally created to make the obelisks teleportation more survivable. This doesn't help the survivor, because I think that the obelisk no longer has a destination, and so the survivor is caught endlessly in the teleportation process until it "takes them." "But why was it disconnected?' you may ask. Well, I think this is because Providence and his brother grew bitter towards one another due to Providences brother's annoyance at how much Providence cares about the creatures of the planet, and so he left to the planets moon, what may have been the original location of the obelisk and so the place it was meant to teleport them, as well as a few people like him and his brother who shared his views on his brothers actions, before severing their link with their home world out of spite. Evidence of this disagreement can be seen in the item log of the brittle crown, as well as the environment logs for Bulwarks Ambry and A moment fractured. What was most likely the breaking point that drew Providence's Brother to this was the sacrifice of the "Her" described in the item log of the Brittle Crown, though who this was, why she sacrificed herself and what her "gift" was are uncertain, though I do not believe her to be N'kuhana, but instead someone else for a reason I explain in the next paragraph, with the best choice, instead, being the "her" in the "her biting embrace" of the ice aspect, as it is equally vague, and it would make sense if "her gift" might be an aspect of power that Providence could give to his subjects. Anyways, from here, Providences brother started to create the lunar items we can get in the game, in order to help him take down his brother and, more importantly, the creatures he protects. We can see evidence of this, as he is most likely the "him" described in the item logs for Shaped Glass and Hellfire Tincture. At some point, a "heretic" was found in his group, and was severed as is described in the logs for visions and strides. I believe how he is imbuing these items with the powers they have is through N'kuhana, as A.) the pit below the lunar bazaar shares the same green fog as the one below the alter to N'kuhana in wetland aspect, and B.) Commando's challenge "incorruptible" requiring Commando to go without lunar items, as well as Scavengers with lunar items being referred to as "twisted" show lunar items as a corrupting force, and the aspect of corruption is called "N'kuhana's Retort." Newt being a peaceful shopkeeper towards the survivor enforces the idea that the people living on the moon are enemies of Providence, as they willingly help someone who will most likely try to kill him.

[@DarkPillWarrior]

@@smorggs7860 Interesting take on the lore. I am not sure about that last part about the Newt since Providence was already dead by the time the Survivor found them. Though I supposed they might not know that he is dead, yet.
