[OLD] Hidden Mar's Tomb/Palace/Weapons Factory Music (Jak 2 - Unused Music)

[@TheAireaidLord]

If you alert the guards and run inside the weapons training course, the alert music will stay active. Go to Mars tomb or Praxis Palace without alerting the guards again and this music should play instead. Same glitch applies to the pumping station, except it'll play the music where you protect Sig from metal heads while he charges his peace keeper. Fun fact.

@@LuminarLight oh wow thanks I had NO idea this wiki existed. I just relied on small pocket communities and my own recording software. Not sure if you're aware, but in a few months, an OFFICIAL jak 2 soundtrack will be launched with a collectors edition intended for ps4 upscaling.

[@kofius]

I remember doing this accidently but now I know how to do it now thanks

[@jak3489]

@@kofius I did it recently, I just activated the alarm and before I got into the elevator I took out a few Krimson Guards, and it just went off

[@SammEater]

I had that happened to me once but I didnt understand what exactly happened. Always wanted to listen to it again but I didnt knew what triggered it.

[@keeganstormblade5456]

This track really should have played normally in the game.

[@kellenvanberkum3119]

Keegan Stormblade it will play if you listen to the gaurd Chase theme in the city without hitting a guard and enter the elevator to the palace

[@UBvtuber]

It was apparently meant for the Weapons Factory according to the official soundtrack, which makes sense considering that level had absolutely no music in it for some reason. I wonder if that was merely a mess-up on Naughty Dogs end or a last minute artistic decision to make the place more eerie..... or possibly from what the composer said about his other various pieces that never made it into the game, maybe they just didn't have the space / resources in the game engine for it.

[@1119-w3u]

This actually was used in the alpha version of this game. It was suppose to be the weapons factory music. That's why when you play the regular version on that level it has no music, the creators of the game deleted it last minute I guess.

[@Ninjasoulz]

They meant to add this in somewhere but forgot, so it's in the game files. But not actually able to play except for glitches.

[@dalehadley3283]

NinjaSoulz If you get the guards to chase you,go in the gun course doors,then head to Mar's Tomb it will play

[@kellenvanberkum3119]

Dale Hadley same for palace

[@andify96]

I didn't know about this soundtrack until now when i looked it up. It suddenly played when i was entering the palace via the support cables. Played the game countless times, and this isy first experience with this "hidden" soundtrack as you mention that only occurs during glitches. I entered the elevator while still being pursuited from the mission were you must activate the elevator. Then when i arrived the top, i ran around the elevator inside the tower one round before i exited it. The soundtrack didn't pkay until i was outside elevator door. Only the misc sounds like wind n such were playing before i exited thru the door, gonna upload the footage

[@PCGameWarriors]

Jó látni, hogy egy ilyen régi játék community-ja még mindig él. Igaz nem nagy, de legalább van. :D

[@PCGameWarriors]

Egyébként hülye kérdés tudom, de ezek a béta file-ok és nem használt zenék a teljes játék fileok között rejtőznek, vagy béta/demo cd-n vannak?.

[@PCGameWarriors]

Luminar Light Köszönöm válaszod! Kicsit kár értük, de legalább van aki megosztja a tartalmát ezen kicsi közösséggel :D

[@akoss921]

Ja

[@DonkeyPlanet]

Szerintem ez egy nagyon jó zene lett volna a játékhoz, mert nagyon illik ahhoz a küldetéshez, amikor a várban kellett legyőzni az őröket. :D Hamarosan majd lehet én is feltöltök 1-2 soundtracket a végleges játékból! :-)

[@Damian-bm8qz]

This soundtrack was used in Jak 3 E3 2004 Demo Sewer Level

[@Damian-bm8qz]

Luminar Light Similar soundtrack kzbin.info/www/bejne/lX22YqZ3rrWomJI

[@RatchetAndClank14]

Yes,this music was used there

[@kurokyoto6221]

they should have used all of the beta and pre console music in the hero mode. would've made it feel like a new experience on top of being much harder

[@rainbowdragon1872]

i must've got lucky because my very first time playing i got this on this stage and teh tomb. and then never again tho i replayed it like 5 times after lol

[@AlpheccaMeridiana]

What was their reason that they cancelled to have this soundtrack playing in palace? it's much better

[@UBvtuber]

It wasn't meant for the palace, according to the official soundtrack, it was apparently made for the Weapons Factory.

[@LuminarLight]

@@UBvtuber That is true (names in official soundtrack aren't too reliable, but this one is an exception, since the composer said it was indeed made for Weapons Factory). The video's title was made from the game's perspective - in the game, it can play at the areas which are mentioned. The official soundtrack isn't the only hint that this was meant for Weapons Factory: jadtech.miraheze.org/wiki/Advanced_Theories#Weapons_Factory_Music

[@UBvtuber]

@@LuminarLight What I'm wondering, was there ever a confirmed reason why it was left out? Because honestly, the place does feel pretty foreboding with no music at all.

[@LuminarLight]

@@UBvtuber I believe it was a mistake.

[@CaptainButters]

upload more please

[@tk628-gt2cq]

Nice

[@jurxnator279]

I dont lie i swear i heared this soundtrack, but i think is just the normal soundtrack but reverse, maybe is glitch

[@Gamexpertvids]

@@ordinarychef It is 100% confirmed for there. The official soundtrack for this (higher quality original version) is called Weapons Factory and has more instruments that the game version lacks.

[@PhonixTeam]

Would've worked great in the Weapons factory, way better than silence.

[@LuminarLight]

This was intended to play there actually.

[@lantern26]

i rarely get this theme on the ps4 port version.

[@LuminarLight]

It is not random, it must be triggered by doing specific things that you might not even notice when you are doing them.

[@lantern26]

@@LuminarLight i mean because i don't know how i triggered it, all i know was i was on the cable between the elevator and pallace, when it was triggered.

[@ampsywampsy9182]

​@lantern26 One of the ways you can trigger it is to go into the elevator room as the guards are chasing you which tricks the game into playing this song instead of the normal one, so you might have unknowingly did that

[@robotgamers9025]

Too bad the OpenGOAL port will never have this music, The glitch to activate this music was sadly fixed. And going to the Weapons Factory in the air train with the mission active plays the regular Palace theme.

[@Gamexpertvids]

Is it possible to force music playback in the area or rather specific tracks?

[@1119-w3u]

Jak 3 alpha had this ost in the sewers. Kinda interesting that this soundtrack is always hidden. I think it's a great one. The regular Jak 3 sewers ost is kinda calm and boring.

[@Gamexpertvids]

It is actually the original/pre-console version. This version was made after in midi as Jak 1 & 2 didn't use redbook audio (Jak 3 uses redbook audio and includes original music from Jak 2 that didn't fit the disc.)
