Oleksa Lozowchuk - Coiled Strike

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

I don’t know if there are any other games that get the David vs Goliath style battle right. Like this is what Aloy’s fighting, a hundred meter long robot Cobra that spits acid, shoots lightning and could crush her just by running her over. Does she have any superpowers? Any prophetic destiny or magical weaponry? No, she’s got tenacity, skill, engineering and a boatload of bravery on her side. That’s it. There’s no magic weak spot to hit, just a number of exploitable components that reduce the hundreds of arrows it’ll take to bring this mechanical monstrosity down. And it doesn’t matter how powerful your loudout is, what’ll take you minutes, it will do to you in seconds.

[@TheShadowMarioBros]

When you said David vs. Goliath I thought to myself. “Have you ever played Titanfall?” Lol

[@orange_turtle3412]

The early stages of breath of the wild are like this. When you face a guardian and you have limited tools and resources. If you want to take one down, you have to rely on ingenuity and using what little you have and the envitonment to deal damage. Of course this is completely ruined late game when you become an indestructible god who can kill guardians like theyre nothing.

Love the little snake hisses in-between the music. You can tell this track was made specifically for the Slitherfang

[@faye6948]

I never noticed this!!! It's awesome and adorable lol 🖤🖤🖤

[@opratorkilo4649]

Other than the obvious hisses they still somehow managed to make a soundtrack thats sounds fundamentally creepy and serpantin. How they combined the rattles and the little bits of chorus are just perfect. Honestly this song IMO is the best snake boss theme in the history of any kind of media.

[@P0chuL1ver]

I'm trying to see what are the hisses in the music. Can you tell me at which part does it play? Can you do the same for the rattles? It really looks obvious but I can't hear it, or maybe I do but don't recognize it.

[@opratorkilo4649]

​​@@P0chuL1veryou can clear the rattles at 0:42 and the hiss are more subtle at 0:48 but you can tell the difference if you listen very closely

[@P0chuL1ver]

At 0:42 it tbh looks like more of a rattle instead of a snake hissing, or is it the same thing? Not too sure. Also at 0:48 I heard it yeah, but it only played once when that rhythm plays and loops. Idk if you understand what I mean.

[@P0chuL1ver]

@@opratorkilo4649 Sorry for pinging again only for that, but I am listening to it now at high volume and I hear the hisses and rattles, but tbh they are very subtle if we aren't listening at high volume.

[@Alex35749]

You can clearly see that this is one the first soundtracks they made for this game because it's so unique and well made. Perfect theme for the first boss fight in the game.

[@TheSpinoDude]

Man, I can't get over how amazing this track is: It fits the Slitherfang so well and makes every confrontation with it just perfect. The part at 0:46 with the snake rattles and epic buildup is FIRE!

This thing is the closest we can get to fighting a Horus arm and I love it. What a beast

[@dankerbell]

well fighting a real horus arm kinda sucks more

[@TormentDaProtogen]

@@dankerbell A fellow war veteran of endgame burning shores?

[@TheKingFlurry]

This thing made Thunderjaw (almost) look like a joke in comparison! A multi-weaponized ground-digging high speedster. One of the best new machines, that are already almost all VERY good in general.

[@TormentDaProtogen]

as someone who finished both games (plus burning shores), I can confirm that the Thunderjaw is an absolute joke now. (read more for a story nobody asked for, or don't for dozens of seconds not being wasted) (I tried getting a slitherfang in an override lock so it wouldn't attack me while I search an area once. Even as an ally, it still manages to make things ten times harder. Put it in attack subfunction, it will search literally everywhere and do anything but get out of your way like the subfunction is supposed to make it do. Put it in defence subfunction, not only will it not stay put, it will follow you around relentlessly, constantly shift around and you always end up being pushed out of the tall grass you hid in to reoverride it from. It did that to me the second before it returned to normal, I have no idea how that amber awareness didn't turn red, but this time, I made sure to use the override for free hits instead of for peace. Thunderjaws do neither of these things, they just be good bois until the time is out. Never. Again.)

[@willmiles7978]

@@TormentDaProtogen looking at the sites where Slitherfangs spawn, they all have a lot of shared features like spots that are good to burrow, columns to coil up on and shoot etc, I assume they're like little mini-arenas to let this bizarre long noodly machine act properly when you're fighting it. As such, I can see overriding it not really being compatible with that and either it can't handle trying to follow/guard you, or it is but is also sticking to its prescripted arena paths, except those aren't necessarily set up around what you're looking at or fighting.

[@soullessraptor6155]

I'm not scared of fighting Thunderjaws, Slaughterspines, Stormbirds, Tremortusks or Rockbreakers, not at all. But *THIS* ... this is the perfect embodiment of death

[@MrSyak1989]

Yea me too scared fighting this thing close range. Others I’ve no problem.

[@chidiamuta3014]

Slaughterspines? I fear no machine (apart from the slitherfang sometimes) but the slaughterspine?! That thing scares me! 😱😱😱

@@zathary564 I mean you can counter them by just taking a highground

[@dankerbell]

@@DrHydra47 which doesn't exist in that one sidequest where you fight one in that enclosed area. god i hate them, they're the real most terrifying machines. as soon as you discover plasma slitherfangs just fall over but good luck getting a status effect on those mfs who go underground every 5 seconds. knocking off their fins are a pain

[@infinite6339]

The arena fight tho.

[@BarryOkanagan]

It's hard to resist the urge to just brace shot this thing to oblivion. It moves so much! Cool soundtrack.

[@blackonyx1]

The Brace Shot: the best and my favorite technique in the game. I obliterated so many machines using it....almost seemed OP 😉

[@stonetimekeeper]

It's a good thing this theme is so good. Farming Slitherfangs would be so much worse without it.

[@gearsmashking6880]

Ngl, I was very impressed when I first saw the Slitherfang. But, I was not ready for how fast it moved and what it was armed with.

[@skins4thewin]

My favorite of all the new machines. Such a cool ass foe!

[@Niskara]

My personal favorite as well with the slaughterspine as a close second and the dreadwing as third

[@pak_III]

​@@Niskara the tideripper is so much better

[@P0chuL1ver]

When 0:47 begins, I feel like if a snake is sneaking for us and is shaking its tail ready to attack, it's so epic to listen to that part. It's to be honest the most recognizable part of the music.

[@juliusrosen7190]

Easily one of the best soundtracks!!!

[@MachineSlaughter]

Me when battling the Slitherfang for the First Time: A GIANT SNAKE??? This thing is going to be deadly! Me when battling the Slitherfang at the Kulrut: This thing instead of a Rockbreaker. Oh no.... And it's fully intact this time.... Oh hell no.... Me battling the Slitherfang after completing New Game+ on Ultra Hard: This thing is a lot easier now. Me battling the Slitherfang after completing the Burning Shores: This isn't really hard anymore, the Bilegut is a lot harder despite it's non-intimidating appearance.
