Divinity Original Sin 2 - OST - Broken Shackles (a.k.a. Shadow Prince) [Full Version]

[@adellagar]

The fact that this track wasn't included in the official soundtrack is a crime against humanity. I remember the first time when I fought Shadow Prince with Sebille as my main and how I was full of emotion. I never felt so blissfully vindicated, and the music was perfect for it. D:OS2 soundtrack is a masterpiece from start to finish.

Why can’t every gaming company be as amazing as Larian

[@deaansugee]

Absolutely love this. This soundttack can receive the highest medal a game soundtrack can possibly receive - *fitting* .

[@michaelroche3156]

Most memorable character ever with just as fitting soundtrack. Such a calm and calculated bastard, even in a weakened state, with his tongue ripped out. There was this strange enigmatic aura around him, I remember thinking - "let him go all out, see what happens". Lunatic proceeds to take out a bomb and wipe half of party's HP bars.

[@SingingNarwhals]

Hearing this play the first (and only) time in game was surreal! I absolutely love the track but I've never heard the first fifty seconds before, it really adds to it.

[@JibunFade]

"Sebille, sh'ialyinou. Sebille, na charlen de'vot"

[@Tremendouz]

It just keeps giving and evolving all the way until the end, one of my favourite battle themes in any game.

[@davii2663]

one of my favorite tracks from the OST

[@Lilyclu]

Fighting the Shadow Prince as Sebille is already an incredible climax to her arc, but having this as the backing track (segueing in from her personal theme in the preceding conversation, no less!) just elevates it to another level.

[@wardensurana8336]

It fits better with Sebille as a companion.

[@runtergerutscht4401]

@@wardensurana8336 Sebille's entire story feels better as a companion, if for no other reason then for the fact that her voice actress did an amazing job with her role.

[@davidhujik3422]

To bad when you win she and the elves take over the rest of the world making every other race slaves. All of a sudden giving her back to her master doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

[@morgomi]

It is one of the most epic songs in the whole game that plays only one time for one of the most epic boss fightings...

[@ClovissenpaiDotR]

This intro building up into the main battle theme takes it to that next level! Awesome work, the soundtrack is my favourite part of this game and it's one of my favourite games of all time!

[@SereglothIV]

I discovered Divinity Original Sin 2 two months ago and what a masterpiece it is in every aspect. Among all the good things about it, three shine the most: combat system, story and music. While many games have great and memorable themes, it's usually one or two songs that stand out. DOS2 is the first game I've played where most of the soundtrack is so amazing I want to listen to it over and over. Thank you so much, Mr Borislav. I've played many video games over the years, but never before have I been so impressed by the soundtrack. So many unique and memorable scores.

[@SeventhheavenDK]

If DOS2 is the first game that makes you think that then. 1) you are clearly exaggerating 2) Or, you haven't played many games.

[@SereglothIV]

@@SeventhheavenDK I've played many games and I'm not exaggerating. Name a game where half of the soundtrack is as good as in Divinity. It's usually just the main theme and one or two other songs, while Divinity's soundtrack is full of such gems as Red and Shadow Princes' Themes, Lohse's Theme, Fane's Theme, Battle for Divinity, Toymaker's Theme, Rivellon and the main theme of course (and some others that I can't name out of the top of my head). Maybe it's just a matter of personal taste, but I'll say it again - no other soundtrack of the many games I've played has made such an impression on me.

[@SeventhheavenDK]

@@SereglothIV . I will go with "it is a matter of tastes". Because I can mention you many RPG games that most of their soundtrack is excellent, and not just one or two themes. Most of the Final Fantasy games; especially 6, 7 and 7R, 8, 12, 13, Tactics and Mystic Quest (And I don't even like FF12 and FF13), CHRONO CROSS (this game's soundtrack asks nothing from DOS2), Suikoden 2 and 5, Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2, White Knight Chronicles 1 and 2, Breath of Fire 3 and 4, Valkyrie Profile and Valkyrie Profile Silmeria, Alundra, Some of the Growlanser games, Drakengard 2, Illusion of Gaia, Chrono Trigger, etc. And I am very sure I am leaving many others out. And a lot of the ones I mentioned I find them to have way better soundtrack than Divinity OS2, do not misunderstand me, DOS2 soundtrack is really good (the game itself is even one of my most favorite games ever), but it is definitely not the only one with a great soundtrack, there are even better soundtracks (and I just listed RPGs, there are games that are not RPGs and have a great soundtrack too, lile Megaman X series to mention only one. EDIT: And Castlevania Symphony of the Night, the soundtrack of that game is godly) and I actually think DOS2 suffers of what you say, some themes outstand more than others, while others not so much, and by the way, Fane theme is not really that good.

[@Cornix94]

​@@SeventhheavenDK I think there's a lot about the DOS2 soundtrack that you're missing if you think it can't stand up to the others on that list. It may lean into elements that you personally don't find that compelling, but it's every bit as well-composed as, for example, the FF7 soundtrack, and it *way* overshoots the Dragon Age 2 soundtrack, as much as I have a soft spot for that one.

Unbelievable. Borislav has contributed so much goodness to my life. Not just as great music on DoS2 and BG3 (though it certainly is amazing) but I listen to his tracks on Spotify all the time. They just bring me peace. Love it.

[@shahzarkhan9128]

I just came here to pile onto the already large list of commendations. I adore your music and the use of instruments that aren't as prominent in other sound tracks. Thank you so much!

[@seanpinkey2188]

Just came back to say I am excited to hear this in BD3, I know a tad odd, but I have been promised a bard upgrade featuring one of my favorite composers. This is timeless, Borislav.

i am playing divinity2 for the first time, i heard this song and instantly fell in love. please put this on spotify, i already have most of divinity's OST saved in a playlist. pls borislav ur music is fantastic

[@Joseph_Lorn]

Thank you sir for this beautiful song, I love your work in Divinity: Original Sin 2 but this one is special to me. I hadn't other choice but to help Sebille and I didn't even consider that third option in dialogue with the Shadow Prince.

[@scrollkeeper5272]

Each instrument used in this track and OST is perfect. Each adds a layer of complexity and complements the others. Spectacular.

Borislav!! Your music is so awesome

[@pandorawolf8239]

[@theshatteredone6117]

Thanks so much Borislav, your music inspires me so much!

[@V3rmundr]

Като малък съм прекарвал часове играейки Knights of Honor. Играта беше добра, но най-любимото ми нещо в нея беше музиката. До ден днешен си я слушам отвреме навреме с удоволствие. С изненада, по-късно открих, че композиторът е българин! В момента играя DoS2 за първи път и пак с изненада разбирам, че същият човек стои зад музиката в тази игра. (че дори и BG3, която още не съм играл) Това може да ме изпълва само с национална гордост и искам да те поздравя и благодаря за уникалния талант. Казвам уникален, защото има много композитори на (generic) фентъзи музика, но твоята успява не само да стигне до мен, но и да остави спомен и емоция. Още не съм изиграл DoS2, но дойдох да потърся една от песните в youtube, по която се пристрастих (Amber Ale). Сигурен съм, че докато приключа ще намеря още любими мотиви. Благодаря отново за прекрасната музика и все по-големи заслужени успехи и признания!

I would have loved to see this track more ingame but it made the fight with the shadow prince one of the most memorable parts of DOS 2

[@SeventhheavenDK]

I think this battle could had been used for the battles inside horrorsleep (the colosseum, and against Bhramos and Sadha if you chose to fight them).

[@LexGuides]

[@Mugetsui]

Reached this fight a week ago and before exhausting the dialogue and triggering the fight, i thought i would attack him with my Red Prince and get an extra hit in. Tragically starting the fight this way makes the OST default to the regular ambiance/battle theme. It felt a bit anti-climactic like something was off, turns out this is what i was missing. Oh well. When i heard this though, I went back and replayed it. Such a wonderful and empowering piece :)

[@John-jc5hw]

Truly sir, this might be one of your magnum opus! Praise be!

[@JesperOmnigod]

Yay, thanks for uploading the full version - such a great track. Coincidentally I had just mixed together separate pieces to reform the full version a few days ago, so this would've been very helpful. I hope you release more tracks as there are so many pieces missing from the official soundtrack - especially elaborations on the Arx stuff (like Embrace of the Deathfog).

[@cordeeee]

True masterpiece.

[@Jaytecx]

That is the most beautiful acoustic guitar sound.

[@azymohliad]

I hesitate to say if this is the best soundtrack of the entire game, because there are so many masterpiece candidates for that title. But it is my favorite currently. It might be because I've discovered this one relatively recently, and listened to others so much that they don't tickle my mind anymore in a way they used to, or maybe it would be my favorite anyway. I'm both sad and happy that it's a hidden gem outside of the OST playlist. Sad that it's very easy to miss it, especially for those who didn't play the game. But happy, because even after ~80 hours of gameplay, the game brought me such a pleasant surprise (and then an IRL quest to find it :D).

Subscribed, would love if the channel showcased more of Mr Slavov‘s work, Two Worlds 2 is where it started for me! Still holding off on OS 2, not a fan of turn based, but from what I’ve listened to from Baldur’s Gate 3, that’s the one I won’t be able to resist, the soundtrack will carry the game for me. Meanwhile I’ll finally pick up Ryse, and check out Crysis, and if the channel posts other highlights from earlier works, I’ll be sure to listen in!

[@basicsimp8798]

Sebile is really one of the most tragic characters in the series. Her quest line is one of the best.

[@runtergerutscht4401]

She has one of the most compelling arc, in my opinion. Her ultimate goal, self-liberation, is so good that the developers used it twice. Her moral struggle is moving and the ultimate climax of her arc of relying on you by handing you her leash is Beautiful. It's so very compelling to see this tortured soul that has been hunted and hurt and scarred for life put all her faith and trust in you. Ofc my all time favorite is the red prince but Sebille has to be second

there's two places that i can remember off the top of my dome: the backing track for the fort joy elf cave, and one of the arena mode themes. i don't think anyone's uploaded the arena mode themes to youtube yet so i can do that later if you want, but the fort joy elf cave has def. been uploaded before

[@tobi_nator]

Phenomenal track. I was surprised to hear it play when my party was fighting not the Shadow Prince, but each other nearby his camp. My character was being driven mad by the Devourer, and it resulted in a PVP battle as everyone else tried to calm her down. This song really added a lot of feelings to that moment, and I'm glad you uploaded the full version!

One of my favorite themes in the entire game. But it is really disappointing it only plays once. I am okay with not overusing it, but I think it could had been used twice or thrice. For example when battling Sadha and Bhramos at horrorsleep (in the Consulate) if you decided to do so. Or maybe against Roost Anlon.

not the full theme itself, but beginning and main parts do play when you're walking around rivellon, tho in a more quite and slightly slower version
