You know the music is good when I can depict which song it is in LESS THAN SECOND. Christopher Larkin truly outdid himself with every single track, and thanks for making this video, I've been wanting one like this for a long time.

[@TrilainaBloodwind]

I may have not played Hollow Knight in a while, but the fact the songs are SO iconic that you can tell where they are from roughly just from 15 seconds is a testimony to how amazing Chris Larkin is at being able to create such a distinct sounding soundtrack, all while riffing off the same basic musical idea. It's amazing.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard Nosk’s theme, but I was still able to confidently guess it! Guess that just shows how well it fits!

[@chrometheraptor]

Same for Queen’s Gardens!

[@pietromoroni]

lmao I was thinking the exact same for both these themes

[@aidanb8569]

true

[@Tezzeon]

Fun fact is that christopher larkin primarily used string instruments but instead of playing them normally plucked them to create harsh stinger notes to replicate the pure fear and spider like personality of nosk :D

[@Elderbug64]

Yes, you just don't hear some themes, depending on how a lot of circumstances, for example, if I didn't know the difference between dung defender and hive knight and I didn't know I never remember them, I wouldn't have done all correct... When I fight them I think only at destroying them, and the fights don't last enough long for me to memorize the OST (that for me are difficult to remember by themselves)

[@bellhop_phantom]

I would've recognized Hive Knight if the part that played right after time ran out was just a bit earlier lmao

[@serranojimenezmateo8374]

tbh the only reason I got it right is because I always remember Hive Knight to feel very royal, and since that's how it felt I just spat it out lol

[@bleuicicle]

I remember because of the sheer tons of times I failed to his boss

[@PrismaAce]

yea that trumpet goes hard

[@azuarc]

Same. I just assumed it was a Godhome track since I didn't recognize it, so I dismissed it. Then the title card came up. THEN the part I recognize played.

I made 2 errors, but decided to apply a harder challenge: 5 seconds instead of 15. Turned out pretty well!

With over 300 hours in this game, I can say that I absolutely bombed this thing with a whopping 11 points. Let this be a lesson that hollow knight has one of the greatest atmospheres that without the noises of enemies, obstacles, etc. you can't figure out the soundtracks from one another, even with 300+ hours. You need the enemies, obstacles, etc. because it blends with the soundtrack. That's why it's so good
