Has anyone done a cut of the movie Troy with the Hades soundtrack? Feels like a natural fit.

[@meteormashup8497]

Nah, when he put on his new armour from Hephaestus

[@LCTesla]

the metal part of this track sounds like it would be worthy of an awesome boss on the level of Asterius and Hades but it went to the pink butterfly spraying ball of magic fluff

[@cathalmurray6007]

And those guys are more lethal than Asterius will ever be. God I hate them so.

[@LCTesla]

@@cathalmurray6007 I rarely even blow a familiar summon on Asterius when he's by himself. the butterfly ball though, he always gets it.

[@viktorkudriavtsev830]

How tf butterfly ball is hard? It's like the easiest miniboss, except for blodless from tartarus and the barge

[@LCTesla]

@@viktorkudriavtsev830 not saying it's particularly hard, you just need to blow all your firepower on it early on bedore it spawns too many of its buddies, the ones can snipe you from a distance and are notoriously hard to kill with the two blue hearts pact active. by contrast, Asterius can pretty much be dodged forever if you know his moves. Hence why the ball gets summon-bombed instantly, whereas with Asterius it's very optional and best saved for last.

[@monkeyman767]

@@viktorkudriavtsev830 It's not that hard, but depending on what weapon you're using, Heat on that run and just how lucky you are with boons, those butterflies can overwhelm you pretty easily if you don't pay attention to them, easiest way to stop that is just wail on the ball right away. IT's not that it's hard, so much as a potential big threat if you don't tackle it right,

[@redpandarampage2191]

This is my favourite track to fight Theseus/ Asterius to. Hearing "No Asterius!" as the bull falls is really cool when it happens at 7:07, and you get the croud chanting Zagreus.

[@AndrewBlechinger]

I've only fought Extreme Measures Theseus once, I might need a mix that works that back in. There's just so much going through my head during a run that I can't notice the music.

[@Floofy_Fox_Gal]

You fiend! He was his friend!

[@spuriouslathos2518]

Interesting. I've never been able to defeat Asterius before Theseus. His spear is such a pain for me I have to throw everything I have to get rid of him first before I can deal with the Bullman.

[@korokseed1619]

@@spuriouslathos2518 it isn’t too hard to dodge once you get the timing down. Just pay attention to how deep of a pink the reticle on Zag is and Theseus basically becomes nonexistent for the first half of the fight as you get rid of Asterius. Or you could just get some Athena boons

[@RushWheeler]

I never take down Asterius first. I just focus on Theseus to get that bastard to shut the hell up while poor Asterius ends up becoming Cast fodder and collateral damage.

[@exzenosisharbingaar9000]

A little lore, the word 'Myrmidon' actually means "a follower or subordinate of a powerful person, typically one who is unscrupulous or carries out orders unquestioningly." While I don't doubt that Asterius and Theseus will carry out Hades' will of blocking the exit, the word basically means they follow every command and whim even to their death.

[@warasdf6716]

I think in the Iliad a Myrmidon was specifically a greek soldier in Achilles's army camp

[@lowestCommonDenominator]

@@warasdf6716 correct! also myrmidons are the best initial class jobs in any Fire Emblem game, come @ me

[@michaellevesley3578]

It's also the root for "ant". There is a story about Zeus creatting the first pythians (where Achilles is from) soldiers out of ants

yeah i would just stay in a room after clearing sometimes, the bassline at 2:47 is just too sexy

[@kipp6138]

Haven’t played yet but already bought the soundtrack. Straight fire. This track is my favorite.

[@diethylmalonate]

for those trying to get the time signature: At around 2 minutes it's alternating 13 and 11. Like 1234-123-12-12-12 1234-123-12-12 1234-123-12-12-12 1234-123-12-12 the transition is in 7 with some 4 to go into the next section. It's a slow 8 time but subdivided into 3+3+2

[@spuriouslathos2518]

*The numbers, Mason, what do they mean?*

[@elver2218]

The time signatures kinds express running out of time

[@UkuleleAversion]

That's right. There are also these two other mixed signatures: 0:19 6/4 1:10 7/4 + 6/4 However, the main riff, like you said goes: 0:40 7/8 + 6/8 + 7/8 + 4/8

[@UkuleleAversion]

I just discovered something kinda crazy about the alternating 13 and 11 riff! You know how the opening of the song is in 6/4 (0:19)? Well, 13 + 11 gives you 24/8 right? That reduces to 12/4 which, wouldn't you know it, is just two bars of 6/4. That being said, I would still feel, play and write that particular riff as a 13/8 + 11/8 mixed time sig.

[@ferroxus]

7:09 breaks my heart ;_;

[@GmDdedagol]

Yours and mine alike mate, suddenly there's this hugely emotional part in the middle of this overbearing theme, plus the titular myrmidons, are likely to be Achilles and Patroclus, which would definitely fit their uneasy relationship

[@indigohalf]

The true rage of the Myrmidons is whenever Patroclus is forced to interact with Theseus haha jk I'm sad about Patrochilles till the day I die

[@iStalkCheese]

It fluctuates alot! It seems to jump around a little but the parts like 0:40 seem to be in 13/8! Pretty cool. The rest of the song is mostly in 6/8 but there's a few transitional 4/4 areas and 2:47 seems to be in 8/8.

[@sjacpswbs03162005]

I read about a horizontal hemiola and it feels it so I guess not a consistent time

[@UkuleleAversion]

@@iStalkCheese These are the time signatures used for each section of the song. They repeat over and over but it's always the same. 0:19 6/4 0:40 13/8 + 11/8 1:10 7/4 + 6/4 (13/4 if you want) 2:47 4/4

[@UkuleleAversion]

@@sjacpswbs03162005 They're most likely referring to the section at 2:47 which does use a hemiola in the bass line however that section is entirely in 4/4. And yes, you're right, this song uses multiple time signatures: 6/4, 13/8 + 11/8, 6/4 + 7/4 and some 4/4 in the transitions between sections.

There are multiple. Copied from my other comment: 0:19 6/4 0:40 13/8 + 11/8 1:10 7/4 + 6/4 (13/4 if you want, but clunky to write it that way) 2:47 4/4 with a hemiola in the bass line
