Horizon forbidden west burning shores - horus final boss theme (in-game version music only)

[@timeydoesstuff]

12:25 is when it gets really good

[@Epsilon_Rue]

For me it's 1:34, 😔👌

[@Tau_Aquila]

I was expecting and kinda hoping more of the theme would be like 12:25 but what we got was absolutely phenomenal anyways. Planned Obsolescence is still my favorite theme from the 2 games

[@beardieblighter9905]

Team 1:50 over here 😂

[@SfinxVid]

Both the soundtrack and the fight could have easily been the finale of the Horizon trilogy. The fact that this is ‘just’ from the DLC of the second game makes me really excited to see how they’ll handle the actual trilogy finale with Nemesis. Not sure what they’re gonna do with it but I am certain that it’s gonna be epic

[@duTrexIt]

End will be epic. But this boss was not epic

[@stitch1088]

Judging from how every companion is gathering the tribes and preparing them for war, I'm pretty sure theres going to be a massive battle between the humans and machines that Nemesis either created or corrupted. Nemesis might also wake multiple Horuses at the same time.

[@blacklight9106]

Since nemisis is an ai im kinda hoping he’ll try to exterminate life on earth by reviving the faro plague while at the same time trying to destroy gaia. Or that it will take over the couldrons over the world to create its own revolutionized zenith-faro plague.

[@lukiluki3001]

can expect something grand, could be transformer-like.

[@FreemanicParacusia]

The soundtrack kind of reminds me of “Dune.” And yeah… Nemesis. I have no idea what they can possibly do to fight something which could pull a Marco Inaros, just sit back and toss asteroids at Earth until it got bored.

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

And this was just the machine at critically low power on the verge of overheating. At full power they’d be pumping out freshly printed Corruptors and Deathbringers non-stop. (Kinda wish they brought Deathbringers back for this DLC now that I think about it)

[@Tau_Aquila]

Def agree they should have thrown in at least one for this fight.

[@Tau_Aquila]

When the horus was new it was also probably covered in rotary cannons and the various ordinances the deathbringer uses. Like an endless stream of firepower

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

@@Tau_Aquila There's probably an interesting idea for a game in there somewhere about the Faro Plague...

[@FreemanicParacusia]

@@The_Story_Of_Us That would be Halo: Reach only without the hope of any survivors.

[@Tau_Aquila]

​@FreemanicParacusia i mean the fall of reach wasnt even remotely bad as the faro imo...

[@FallenOne669]

The Horus Robot is easily the best boss in the franchise; it is well-designed, superbly animated, has a killer soundtrack, and is beautifully cinematic.

[@hy-null]

Yeah I mean it’s not even close. Spectre prime was very cool and interesting, but this fight man… whooo…

[@deoxi3207]

I love how the devs new everyone loved the horus and made it so that we would get a side view as too how colossal that beast is compared to a waterwing. And how it looks while walking and didn't just make it stuck in a mountain trying to grab you while you climb its limbs to the core. It's also scary to think that this horus wasn't even at full power at the time of its release. It could've easily just ended aloy with scarabs and a bunch of armaments that were located around its body and without releasing its heat syncs.

[@worawatsr9803]

@@hy-null Not even close. The Horus alone can cause the Faro Plague and end all life all over again. Spectre Prime is just a small robot.

[@Warrior___]

The part 1 horizon down the end machine it’s still amazing plus the big boss but you have blind spot you can remain there and kill him easily😛🤣

[@NikitasMartyras]

The whole fight between Aloy and Horus is a complete fiction. So much bare-ass savage could never. The first and only one blow to the head with a drill would have been enough for her. And then Aloy soaks up a direct hit from rockets like Superman.

[@xenomorph-2017]

The beginning of the third phase really does it for me. The first few seconds really scream: You now have the undivided attention of humanity's strongest weapon.

[@poopholemcpooppants]

it was time for londra to lock in

[@colinnixon7739]

From a purely technical standpoint this is the most impressive boss fight I experienced in my 25 years of gaming The fact that this shit works and isn't broken and the the processing going on to render all this stuff. What the hell. Congratulations GG.

[@schalchenr.3875]

Imagine during Operation Enduring Victory, five Horus with full power just broke the Wichita Front without any problems. Those things really come from hell.

[@FreemanicParacusia]

Seriously though, just LOOK at the thing. How did Faro engineers not take one look at the blueprints and say, “are we the baddies?”

[@schalchenr.3875]

@@FreemanicParacusia Their jobs were well payed🤣

[@worawatsr9803]

It wasn’t just the Horus, but also the swarm of Deathbringers and Corruptors that they could mass produce on the spot. Horus is a walking robot factory..

[@gbonfi98]

485.000.000 corruptors 697.000 deathbringers And least a thousand Horus. There were the estimates of the robots produced by the faro plague. I imagine, in an audio that I found in forbidden west, the ships that concentrated their fire on the leading horus but there were at least 6 others arriving, plus those that had already landed on land, in my opinion at least one was arriving from the sea 25-30, and hit the ground, each would release god knows how many Corruptors and deathbringers. Walter London said not even a Horus fleet would stop nemesis, we can assume he has machines of all kinds, maybe even bigger than the eight legged titans. It took the lighthouse plague fifteen months to destroy the world, nemesis could only take two hours, after all, nemesis is much more evolved. May Hephaestus take his cue from this battle against a single horus... as in my opinion he will be our greatest ally in the final battle against Nemesis

[@archon7105]

It also took a bunch of firepower to even bring one down. Zero Dawn logs states how it took the military time to bring even one down but their losses weren’t even worth the fight.

[@jurizemljanski6118]

Man, imagine in the next Horizon game, Aloy will take control over all Horuses to defeat Nemesis. Just imagine a huge army of corrupted by Nemesis machines fighting against Horuses and Faro Palgue robots who were created in captured by Aloy Horuses. And you just see that battle.

[@bryansantos317]

That could actually happen since Sylens was looking into old world technology to use against Nemisis, something it doesn’t have knowledge on.

[@dc1054]

The theme really illustrates how it feels to fight a metal devil the idea that you are fighting a monstrosity made of metal whose only purpose is to destroy, no matter what. The chorus + the hopeless feel you get gives me goosebumps It’s epic!

[@MaeMay13]

The shot at 1:34 is utterly cinematic asf

[@danc1513]

The variation of Aloy's theme at 8:10 is amazing. And 1:34 as already pointed out, is chilling.

[@slenderminion2229]

Nemesis is going to have to do something truly spectacular to one-up this if it wants to close off this trilogy on a satisfying note.

[@noraholy83]

I just can’t believe that i finished this fight without dying.. proud of myself 😅

[@FreemanicParacusia]

I kinda picture Aloy somehow sent back to the Faro Plague, being received by the soldiers back then sort of like the “Angel of Verdun” in Edge of Tomorrow.

[@colinnixon7739]

I'm proud of you too

[@Artificial-intelligent-gamer]

This is why i loved HFW and it's dlc so much. This battle easily overshadows everything else I've faced in this game, and in zero dawn. The fact that this machine can easily tower over a tallneck, and your the one who has to fight it, just felt... Unfair 😥

[@soulsborne5053]

Thanks for sharing this! GG *really* hit the nail *hard* with this Ost! Makes it easy to imagine just how horrifying these Titans were at their full potential... not to mention en masse!

[@nikobelic4251]

This soundtrack went hard

[@gbonfi98]

La migliore canzone e colonna sonora del franchise di Horizon.... Troppo bella, la ascolto tutti i giorni, mi rilassa. Spero in una canzone ancora più bella nello scontro finale contro Nemesi in Horizon 3, dopo un discorso di Aloy a tutto il mondo e tutte le tribù di incoraggiarli a combattere, forse dopo la morte di qualcuno caro.

I would really love to see a Reaper Destroyer vs a Horus class Titan

[@Dan-cm1tb]

Speaking of Reapers, I began remembering that Reaper boss fight on Rannoch in ME3 while playing through the Horus boss fight and I kept thinking “imagine the Horus with Reaper horns” or “imagine if this was how we took down the Reaper. Not with the Migrant Fleet but with our wits, a few guns, lot of grenades, and a shit ton of biotic blasts” lmao

[@colinnixon7739]

Humans of horizon would not lose to the reapers lol

[@chrissierra-5633]

@@colinnixon7739 I think they would i would just want to see a reaper destroyer vs a horus with no hacks or indoctrination but if it were the reapers vs horizon world reapers would obsoletely win because most of horizon humanity is automated and that will be their downfall

[@0001norbi]

@Ambition Shadow seeing as the official soundtrack is out, I feel like most of the community would still like for you to keep this track as the official tracks feel spliced or not complete yet, this is so fire though

[@peteandaprilbrandy2819]

Kinda wanna have the third game have a part of the story where you actually get to retrofit your own for a battle against whoever Nemesis is, like a clash of titans and stuff, or just being able to actually pilot a corruptor or kopesh

[@FreemanicParacusia]

I’d been thinking at some point we’d bring one of those old tanks back online (perhaps immobilized) and need to use it to take out the Horus’ foundry while it continually spat smaller Faro variants out at us.

[@M4PAT]

Top 3 greatest final boss I've ever ever ever fought. You could clearly see the power of the PS5 with this DLC. Absolutely incredible man and the music! 🔥🔥 chefs kiss.

[@riohudson9612]

Dude you made the boss fight look so f-ing cinematic! Every piece of the fight fit so well with the music!

[@AmbitionShadow]

Thanks bro I tried to make it cinematic as possible glad you liked it

[@LIXIAN7]

I was running from the assault drill while the horus was chasing me and I shot the heatsink with the rail gun and I just dodged it intense battle a Zenith and a Horus Titan at the same TIME.

[@kbird2222]

I wish I could replay this part...I should have made a separate save

[@NarakunoHana100]

honestly😭

[@PrimalDragon1740]

I did. But the thing is, you have to go all the way through the final mission to get to it. Taking down the corruptors, sneaking past them and the giant murder tentacles, the final clamberjaws and destroying the cooling system, all with no near campfire for a save unfortunately.

[@VlasiosSokorelosTheDarkwavist]

[@NikitasMartyras]

To be honest, I expected more from the battle with Horus, because this is still a walking factory - so why not give him a small army of invader machines? Gor has a biomass processing system - well, let him process Aloy into bioliquid now! But no, let's treat him like a typical multi-phase fantasy boss.

[@HowlingWolf518]

Not even Aloy is ready for a fully-operational Horus yet.

[@cmelft2463]

Yeh, aloy can take it down with a few arrows (regardless of it having been sitting for years), yet the futuristic army of past couldn't take them down? I thought at least we would be picking up those (sorry i forgot - blue shock canisters) and having a multi part battle spanning sky and ground etc to weaken it, then maybe get other robots involved, it all seems a bit short

[@NikitasMartyras]

@@cmelft2463 Yes, I was surprised that people with much more advanced weapons and an army could not take down Horus. And does such a machine really have such a bad cooling system? It seems to me that the creators of the game were a little too lazy to figure out how else to defeat the car.

[@0001norbi]

@@NikitasMartyras They weren't too lazy. Londra activated the Horus through its suit meaning he couldn't activate every single system which Aloy also says. Next up is the problem of time itself, corroding all the elements. Speaking of the futuristic army, they fought with Fully Operational Horuses meaning they could convert biomass at will, something this Horus couldn't and if it would, Aloy wouldn't stand a chance so that argument of yours goes out the window. Remember people, these guys fought hundreds of those during one battle, this is a single, damaged and worn out Horus that wasn't necessarily inspected enough by the villain of the DLC. BTW something CMELFT said. That army of Horuses adapted to more sophisticated ideas of fighting them and since all the Horuses were connected like a hive mind, they knew how to combat all that. Aloy isn't fighting an AI, just a single Zenith

@@NikitasMartyras All the reactivated Chariot-line robots suffered from major problems with heat - remember how the Corruptors and Deathbringers in HZD always exposed their heat sinks when they overheated? Same principle applies here, only on a vastly larger scale. And, well, this Horus was still very badly damaged by the time it moved. Londra had tinkered with it to reactivate its fabrication chamber so that he could build his spaceship with it, but reactivating the whole thing was presumably never his plan until Aloy showed up. So he had to do a rush job, and do it all himself because Aloy had deleted his AI servant. If he'd had more time he could presumably repaired it to a more functional state, but that was no longer an option when Aloy and Sekya sabotaged his main cooling system. And then Aloy and Sekya kept on the pressure to prevent him from continuing his repairs, and to damage the Horus further. It was a desperate plan, but it worked.

[@Rumblestars2009]

A giant robot should not have this beautiful music. You should have more like dubstep, music or EDM.

[@beardieblighter9905]

This music perfectly encapsulates the idea of fighting against some long asleep titan, which is what this boss fight is

[@archon7105]

It’s an ancient war machine that ended humanity. To us it’s a machine. To them it’s a metal devil that killed the previous inhabitants of the old world.
