while layer 1's combat theme was full of doom and suspense, this has so much more of an unhinged, "where am i?? what the hell is going on!?" Kind of feeling. Its so chaotic and terrifying, well representing the feeling of most who entered the second layer for the first time. while the first layer was risky, for the most part you knew what to expect. This, however, is something entirely new, unknown, and uncharted. you have no idea what could be around the next corner, but you know it may very well be the end of you. chaos and disorder rule this realm, and you have no other choice but to brave through the incomprehensible trials ahead.

Similar to that this track is all over the place, representing the chaos, uncertainty, and fear during the first runs within the second layer. most people with more experience instead find it in a more invigorating battle theme rather than pure chaos, similar to getting used to the second layer and making sense of the chaos.

[@haichi5313]

I think a very essential part of this song, which most people tend to overlook, is how the track seem to absolutely *mock you* from the start 'till the end. It all really began at 0:32 where the chaos subsides and you attempt to grasp the area that you're in, only to be absolutely hit by the melody spinning all over the place in a laughing-esque progression, as if even the track itself is laughing at you for doing something as foolish as putting yourself on a silver platter for the Depths to retrieve with a golden spoon. The melodies that follows doesn't really help neither, moments of respite are few and far between, and the chaos never goes away. The tension, the screams, and the insanity, all coming together in a grand symphony of mockery, only to end in a melody that's ever-so-familiar. *Your efforts are worth nothing* , and to continue marching is to see to it that you will die knowing too little, and never enough. Though for us, I suppose it's better than dying peacefully, knowing absolutely nothing. Which is why I adore this track in particular. It's an organized mess of sounds that works well in tandem with each other, and portrays a very clear picture of our fear most primal. Though I simply wish I could've enjoyed it more if not for the kind of colorful people you tend to meet while playing this game.

Layer 2 is my favourite place in deepwoken, great lore,creepy surroundings, scary enemies and great soundtracks!

[@DarkestGames86]

As someone who hasn't been 2 layer 2, this sounds like the owl hivemind for vision shaper's boss battle theme as it sounds like you are caught in one big illusion of mirrors and vision altering whirldwinds with the hivemind enjoying it. Even the name insomnia describes how it feels to be in the depths and how the owl is slowly draining what is left of your own mind as a visionshaper away

[@myselfgaming55]

your 7 layers off that one bud

[@OffContentObi]

Bro is in the 3rd layers 💀

[@raintheblessed]

This is incredible. Deepwoken isn't half of what it is without Naktigonis, honest. This takes the adrenaline and insanity of the knowledge that you are about to face a fate worse than death over and over, and *shows* it. Your mind refusing to accept the fact that you are going to die here even while your insides are exposed right in front of your eyes and your limbs are mutilated. "This is all a dream... This could never possibly happen to me... I'll wake up from this nightmare! I will wake up from this nightmare! PLEASE WAKE ME UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE ALREADY!" oh you poor sinner are mistaken. You are about to be judged by sinners far worse.

Ever since this soundtrack was leaked I loved it incredibly Its just a pure representation of how you don't know what's going on and you aren't supposed to understand, and it's all made into an amazing melody.

[@leafyroad1905]

can we just talk about the description bro. The thought of ''The Hunted turning into the Hunter'' gave me chills, just imagine a lamb howling or a mouse eating a falcon

i listen to this when i feel like im going insane, the sounds just seem comforting at those moments for some reason

[@beanman2523]

I love how the sound track as well a the timing of the changing and flashing lights feel like you really are going insane

[@smollestxiao]

bro i got jumpscared so hard when the "screaming" part coincidentally came on when i was locked in combat with 2 bounders in firfire

[@abulletant1147]

Your cooked lil bro

[@KrissCrimson]

Nagt, i love your music, its so ominous when you furst enter the second layer like you know you are in too deep... But this, oh this gives me the chills

[@Lemons138]

to me, here’s how i see the depths combat themes scyphozia: everything you’ve worked for is on the line. your life, your journeys, your connections, could all be severed with one mistake. this is especially true for pvp, you know that at the end, only one of you will remain. eternal gale: you might make it out alive, maybe. but if you do, you will not be the same. we all know deepwoken’s motif of “the song”. i see the song as an underlying truth, and those who know it, can shape its power into whatever they want. layer 1s them had a more organized song, and therefor organized power, making everything more clear. layer 2s theme is way more chaotic, driving a force to turn anyone truly insane. add ignition union origin

[@-E-s-o]

kinda funny how you describe it, mainly because layer 1 is what makes people insane (also its not because of yunshul). you dont get insanity in layer 2 because layer 2 is more "understandable" to the mind. while layer 1 is gravity defying, and generally defies any laws that the human mind is familiar one - which causes insanity.

[@The--O]

holy shit they added the origin

This combat music is insane, and it feels like something is chasing you. You can't see where it comes from, and you are feeling desperate screaming. Well done

[@hendlow]

naktigonis you literally are my idol and holy shit does this just show how good you are at music. you can tell how good this was made it gives me spider person from undertale near 1:35 and i can hear some of oscillation thank you for making just a masterpiece its crazy good.

This actually sounds like I'm fighting for my life. Good work and I can't wait for the other soundtracks!

[@macialdo100]

Nah we as the deepwoken community don't deserve you, if not for your music I don't know if I'd be able to enjoy deepwoken as much as I currently am. I love you man.

[@Docckylle]

I really like this, nothing pumps me up more than depths combat tracks Ethiron deafens the depths with its sheer presence while the kyrsgarde worship it in the background

[@guyoguy]

you have 100% outdone yourself, this is my favorite deepwoken ost and it gets better every single time. terrifying enough already and we still havent seen the horror of the other 7 layers

[@stray1562]

how in the absolute world did you manage to top the already incredible bop that was the layer 1 combat theme like this is insane, i was stunned by it when i first got ctagged by a carbuncle in l2 lol it feels like a really really amazing boss theme for a terraria mod which i adore

[@familiarstarss]

all of the depths soundtrack is incredible ESPECIALLY LAYER 2 YOURE SO GOOD WTF

[@nosrepp]

i love how the beat of the song almost sounds like you can hear your own heartbeat, this is magnificent

[@thethings007]

Deepwoken is kind of the Roblox game that makes you feel like you are playing a completely different game and the way it expresses it's elements of this whole "your mind trying to figure out why, and how you died." It does so well with this concept, and the music just adds on to it. Nice one bro.

[@qharmet6732]

Thank you for believing I can survive 4 mins in layer 2 in combat

[@Zee_Died]

the chaos of the video fits the sense of panic in the song. awesome. also love how the leitmotif is incorporated!!

[@xanthangum1217]

Love how that motif you hear is The Song itself, but it's way more intense down here, like you're going closer to the sun's center.

[@soupsillyy]

just noticed this got 1 million views, congrats nakti :D
