Game Composer Reacts to ALATREON Theme - Monster Hunter World

Let's listen to and talk about the Alatreon theme from Monster Hunter World Iceborne! I had listened to the Monster Hunter 3U version of the Alatreon theme a long time ago but, honestly, I didn't remember it at all. It was fun to refresh my memory with the Iceborne version.

Man, that MH3U reference! *chef's kiss* And btw, if you're not caught up with the other reactions I've done to MH World music, I got a playlist with all of them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p36tdGN7adubd9E

[@victorribeiro6772]

I almost teared up when I first heard this when Alatreon was released in Iceborn, Tri was my first MH game and the themes in the game are amoung my absolute favorites in the whole franchise

[@LayZKimochi420BlazeIt]

I dont think thats so much a reference as it is just left there from the original theme because there it was just used as a leit motif

[@RuneRauland]

There is also another reference to the 3U main theme that you can hear at about 3:03 in the video. It is a bit more subtle so it's easy to miss.

[@xanthiusdrake2775]

Alatreon is such an iconic monster, with a great soundtrack, and there are plenty of other elder dragons to go over, who also have good soundtracks as well, alongside some monsters as well. For example Alatreon was never the final boss in MH3U, he was just the final boss for the main village storyline, there is also another "final boss" of sorts at the end of the guild quests; Dire Miralis, and his music is pretty good. Another is that Fatalis actually is not alone, there is also crimson and white Fatalis as well, though sadly these two never made it to iceborne. Velkhana also has a cool soundtrack (no pun intended lol) another good one is Shara Ishvalda, though it actually has two separate themes, one for each phase.

[@aoihunter5155]

Alatreon is the final boss of MH3

The thing I like about alatreon's theme is it isn't consistent, which makes sense cus he's unstable elementary and mentally

[@groudongamer3178]

Alatreon is not only intelligent but sadistic too. Just look at his world cutscene....the way he slowly turns around and went into his posture. He gives off sadistic and even arrogant vibes.

[@LoncusZhao]

Wait, I get elementally, but 'unstable mentally' sounds like a personal attack. Did he hurt you? I know he hurt me. And many, many others.

[@gaminthings784]

[@baileylaviolette543]

I'd love to hear what you think of Namielle's theme from Iceborne! I hear a lot of references to the ocean and marine life on that theme, and even a low reverberation that sounds like electric eels, which represents Namielle's own control over water and lightning. It sounds imposing but also graceful and aquatic

[@DaviVasc]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@LTGclown]

i second this recommendation

[@richardidgaf8002]

I remember reading an article that intrerviewed the composers for the Original Alatreon theme featured in Tri. They stated that the aim for alatreon’s theme was one of instability, which ecompass his lore quite nicely. Additionally, they wanted to include heavenly and dark, tense melodies to tag along with that theme and elevate it to where it is today. They freaking nailed all of those things and more with this piece for sure imo.

[@slayeroffurries1115]

Alatreon's theme gives such a sense of unknown danger and grandioseness, it fits Alatreon perfectly

[@kierontemnov2452]

Dawn of the Death Star One breath, one shriek, one lament. It screams, like an icy dead star that rejects the light. The evening was a scorching inferno the night was a symphony of chaos now a soulless cold atmosphere reigns. This is not a end, this is not a beginning, this is something beyond our mind. The emptiness is the destination, sorrow your guide. He leaves nothing but pain, that will be your punisher and friend forever. His frozen heart is the gate, the path to our destiny. No life was so bitter, no damnation was so sweet, the end and the beginning are now one. Embrace the fate, face the Dawn of the Death Star.

He represents the balance of nature and what destruction it can cause in the wrong hands. Notice that Alatreon is the only monster of it's level to not have vocals, idk what it means but it's interesting (great vid btw)

That is an interesting observation indeed about the vocals

[@not_fatalis]

Dalamadur, Gogmazios and Amatsu are monster's that definitely deserve to have their themes analised

[@DaviVasc]

Thank you for the suggestions

[@LucasTigy2]

during the live concert stream they did in, i think, 2020(?) the composer mentioned how they changed the tempo up in this song to represent alatreon's unstable elemental capabilities and how it cycles between them i beleive the MH3 motif has always been in alatreon's theme since MH3 (they actually liked sprinkling it in many themes throughout the game), but it's still nice to hear it in world. also, when you finally slay him, it plays the MH3 quest complete tune :D

[@OdesThundagod]

Here's an interesting thing: the different parts in Alatreon's theme go over the 5 zones themes in Tri

[@Gabirel9730]

Wait, really???? Which themes, exactly?

[@OdesThundagod]

@@Gabirel9730 I can't pinpoint the exact parts, but it goes something like : Flooded forest>Sandy Plains(you know, the arabic instrument mentioned)>Tundra>Main theme(Which is technically part of Deserted Island) > Volcano at some point?

[@MelonWyvern]

Brought a tear to my eye the first time I heard the tri main theme ! Then I went back and listened to the original alatreon theme from tri and I couldn't believe that I never heard that it was there all along. ^^

[@DaviVasc]

yeah, the reference is more discrete in the original version

[@Gargorok.]

The tempo switch really fits his fight. You have a slower tempo during his main elemnt phase, where hes like a normal elder fight and a much faster tempo on his dragon phase, the last chance you have to weaken his power and not fail the quest to his ultimate move. I love how the main theme for tri is there and when you finish the quest is plays the quest complete song for tri as well

[@DaviVasc]

I didn't know that about the quest complete theme of tri! That is really cool.

[@brogangh]

if i remember right, monsters like alatreon, and fatalis (and maybe safi?) are not just elder dragons but black dragons, which is a higher threat level than an elder dragon. that could fit with why the themes are less nature feeling and more "death to all"

[@mathiasdp1289]

Alatreon's theme is litteraly his soul Always changing, but always epic to say "you'll shit your pants against this thing" This tempo switch is definitely the best idea they've got for this theme

[@aproudbaguette3605]

What i love about Alatreon's theme is that there is almost no hope in these, unlike Fatalis and Safi

[@kierontemnov2452]

Wrath of the Evening Star He burns like an unholy Inferno, its seething like a burning star who revels in the dark. In the corrupted spirit of the summer the soul of anger glows which in glorified madness hates everything that is alive and dead. Heat, demon, purgatory he is all this and yet not. No devil has ever survived him, no angel has ever seen him because he is the omnipresent art of anarchy whose existence tremble the gods and even death. His anger, his fire burns everything down, nothing good and nothing bad will survive this catastrophe. Because it is the symbol of destruction, the omen of emptiness, the eternal wrath of the evening star!

[@KomradeBaguette]

This music reflects pretty well against Alatreon. Variates between "calm" sessions where it is in one element, and then it goes crazy when It is in that phase where it changes elements and attacks furiously.

I was so excited to finally see you react to this theme, I forgot to comment. "Elemental Ruthlessness" is the perfect description for this theme. I watched the MH live concert last year where they also played this theme and in a note from the composers it did say the constant changes represent the unstableness (instability?) of his elemental powers and mental state. There's something about the ramp up and those final two heavy notes at the end that just hit me every time. Also that smile on your face when you recognised the MH3U reference was perfect! Other themes I'd love to hear your analysis of: Velkhana (normal and AT theme compared!), Shara Ishvalda, Kulve Taroth (entire sequence including AT fury theme) and Magnamalo!

[@darkluxgames2347]

Woo! I'm so glad you covered Alatreon's theme! I honestly love the change in tempo representing Alatreon's control over elements being unstable, while being utterly noble-sounding in the beginning. The timpani beat in the start of the faster section is also super cool, it went from electric guitar in Tri and 3U to timpani, both sound delightfully intimidating. Also to lead on from this, I'd totally look at Zinogre's theme from Iceborne. Has some other interesting game references in the theme too ;)

[@abigailfiltness4635]

I definitely think that the first half is more regal sounding and then halfway through the danger kicks in! The Ostinato (thank you for teaching me this term!)

Nakarkos is a great suggestion. Thanks!

Teostra theme is one of my favorite themes.

When the MH3U segment played when I first heard the OST I almost cried.

[@christophersemenza4262]

Love this monster truly master of all the elements espically the element of musical superiorty such a great theme. Please, if you can, make a video about the Nakarkos (Osutogaroa) from generations Ulitmate

[@DaviVasc]

Thank you for the suggestion!

Here's an idea, MH world and rise both have amazing themes. I was thinking you could do a comparison? For example i prefer the tigrex theme (recommend) from iceborne more than the rise version. Also another amazing video, it still impresses me to this day how much musical knowledge you have, i always learn so much ❤️

8:10 I think this is such a beautiful description that captures the spirit of 3rd Gen, and partly explains why 3rd Gen has my favorite MH atmosphere compared to the other generations. Thank you for these videos!

[@DaviVasc]

Same. I miss when MH worlds were more grounded jurassic worlds that demanded respect from us. Thank you for watching!

It is funny how the brain recognizes music sometimes. I selectively recognized and heard the 3rd gen reference part, and knew that i had already heard that many times before, but i couldn't for the life of me remember in which context. Fascinating.

My first MH game was MHTri and at that time i was playing with my friends in the HUB, btw Loc Lac City is the best mh Hub ever created for me i also think a video about the theme of loc lac would be interesting , and so we started this quest not knowing anything about it and... Well lets say that it's not a monster you should fight not being prepared. But the chill the intro gave, the music, the design of the map, the design of the Alatreon all of that made the Alatreon the first black dragon i faced and my favorite monster. There's so many good monsters in this universe and i think the MH franchise is for me the most impressive one when it comes to creativity. All i'm saying is thank you for helping fan like me discover new things about a universe i love!

I'm so used to hearing this BGM with the "pop-pop-pop" of the LBG. It feels a lot different when your not so concerned about your DS.

[@Jpmrocks7]

One thing youll notice with MHWs and MHWIB's flagship themes will have references to their game origins' music. One thing about the alatreon quest is that the victory theme for it is the original MH3 victory theme!

[@ImWhyMortalsCry]

Yes! I knew he would do it one day!

I'm always listening to you guys, I always listen
