HFW Rusted Sands + Tideripper Theme

[@PetrolGator]

Seeing Vegas light up is honestly my favorite part of the Horizon franchise so far. There was something melancholic and hopeful watching the city once again shine. The music was absolutely perfect.

[@myriad2010]

I love how you can so clearly tell these tracks meant something special to the composers. I'm hard pressed to think of another set of dynamic tracks that has so many variants depending on pretty nuanced circumstances, that are also all bangers. Dynamic music is definitely one of the strengths of this game.

[@B_Skizzle]

I was *not* prepared for how awesome the tideripper theme is, and I mean that in the truest sense of the word. It’s legitimately awe-inspiring.

[@lambo2655]

This was one of my favourite parts of the map. The whole design and pacing with three enjoyable NPCs to interact with and then the big payoff when you free the Poseidon AI and witness the wonderful transformation. Topped off by an impressive new machine to fight. The music with it’s different moods just adds to the atmosphere as it does throughout the entire game. OMG, when it comes to making a sequel to a fantastic game the devs really nailed it :)

[@shade7504]

I agree with everything its great

[@IceStormGale]

On top of all that, we got to see the beautiful, water-filled neon world Stanley Chen made of Las Vegas- and the merging of his musical theme with that of the Tideripper was perfect. Knowing Chen’s dreams for bringing clean water- and life, by extension- back to Vegas, it slowly begins to make perfect sense why Poseidon chose it as a shelter.

Love that transition at 8:42 That piece with the flute mixed at the start of Guardian of the Deep…. Simply perfect 👍

[@banananer16]

This is from the piece released in the 3rd volume of the OST called "Showtime".

[@tomassoejakto]

Sometimes it does feel like waves rolling and crashing one after the other. The dangers and majesty of the sea captured in melody.

[@Ingisen]

This quest was all together the best moments in the game for me

[@PositivelyNegativeOfficial]

This was the best sub function to go after. Vegas is cool enough as is but I’m a HUGE fan of the Blade Runner films. I was not disappointed to see Guerrilla’s interpretation of futuristic Vegas. The synths used in this particular song reminded me so much of BR 2049. As fantastic of a mission as this is on its own, going in with those added memories from my favorite film was an emotional experience to say the least.

[@AP-Design]

Some of the other locations may have been more more breathtaking, like the ruins of San Francisco, but I think Vegas is the most memorable and well-utilized part of the whole map.

[@omglordluca8914]

8:41 I can't tell you how much I love this piece. The gradual buildup of the music, then BOOM! The mechanical beast known as the Tideripper emrges from the depths, all that stands between our hero Aloy and the POSIEDEN subordinate function. God, this track is so epic, thank you for making this!

[@katy1743]

1:54-8:41 I love the deep love for Earth, its creatures, and faith in humanity’s highest aspirations that these games represent. The devotion to creating something magnificent and meaningful is absolutely awe-inspiring.

[@lucasalejaga1175]

The mood and vibe of this Poseidon mission gives me Avatar: Way of Water vibes!!!

[@legoman7041]

Poseidon was the highlight of the game for me. Nothing else came close, and the rest of the game is pretty good. This was just lightyears ahead

[@RR-dh2ub]

This makes me want to bet 88,000 on number 8 on a roulette wheel

[@SilverForte]

I love the dynamic music in this area. Wish you could come back later to listen to it again.

[@Nn.65juk]

I live in las vegas........ It made my hearth pulse hard.

[@chidiamuta3014]

This theme is called: 'Rusted Sands' 'Claws in the Hollow' 'Showtime' 'Guardian of the Deep'

[@jeffreychinn609]

I really enjoy how seamless the transition is between the first part of this song and Rusted Sands when entering combat and disengaging Thanks for this!

[@chidiamuta3014]

I can't decide which theme is better: Guardian of the Deep is amazing and especially how it gives Avatar: Way of the waters vibe. 🤩🤩🤩 But Rusted Sands + Claws in the Hollow is too good and especially 2:27. 😍😍😍

[@middlecee_7079]

i get chills at 8:41 every time

[@Primalinstincts101]

Easily one the best parts of the game!

[@kevinluberda8853]

This was probably the mission in the game! Thank you for uploading all these themes and could you maybe post the track that plays when talking to Kotallo at the Base?

[@HorizonThemes]

I'll grab this one for you soon. 😀

[@kevinluberda8853]

@@HorizonThemes Thank you!

[@alvybar2990]

The first minute reminds me of Dune.

[@deadbedspread]

Huge thank you for uploading all these! I've seen people requesting so I may as well do the same- Any chance you could upload the new Eclipse music? It was some of my favourite from the original and I'd love to hear how it's been updated! From what I remember I think there's a stealth theme and a combat theme, not sure if anything else

[@HorizonThemes]

I remember hearing this on the final side quest for the Eclipse when you take the last of them down. I'll get this one for you this week. 😀

[@Jake38nine]

Doesn't the music have some The Last Of Us melodies too? I really like it for that.

[@mohdnohhussin6793]

Looking for the cover of this where it’s the underwater rusted sands - anyone know what it is

[@HorizonThemes]

When i next play this quest I'll try to get this for you.

[@s2y368]

Hey what is the original name from the first song ? Rusted sands ? Or something else ?

[@HorizonThemes]

Yes, the OST version is called Rusted Sands but it doesn't have any beat to it.

[@hgloow6683]

@@HorizonThemes But it (1:54) sounds kinda different from the original Rusted Sands soundtrack. The original sounds more trumpet or flute like. Is it a different version? If so, can you upload it?

[@HorizonThemes]

@@hgloow6683 I think that part is only from the battle theme version. I'll check when i next play this quest & see if there's another version i can get.

[@hgloow6683]

@@HorizonThemes Alright, thanks!

[@HorizonThemes]

@@hgloow6683 Hi, i just finished the quest again & that part of the song only plays on the battle theme version unfortunately.
