Okami is a game that I think has not gained enough attention, even with Okamiden and an HD remake. I have loved this game from the very beginning, and the music for the bosses is just one of the many reasons. I have put them all here in one video, the music for some of the most terrifying and fun bosses I have ever faced in a video game! Enjoy!
(I own none of the music or images in this video. All credit goes to their respective creators.)

[@kalythai]

Congratulations at defeating Orochi, the totally final boss, 12 hours into the game! You have completed (checks notes) a third of the game!

okami was truly the “but wait, there’s more!” game of the 2000s

[@hellhoundactual8201]

@@todd3143 I love that it builds up like "Orochi is the most Evil SOB to ever exist, you need to kill him immediately!!" And the games like "Oh btw this is only Fight 1 out of 3 with him, you still got another 30 hours to go lmao

@@river9289 Very True! The fact of it being a by-product of orochi's defeat also explained that why Crimson Helm was the only boss that did not have a direct cultural reference. Minor typo here: the guy's name is Nagi, derived from one of the origin god "Izanagi" (He who invites) in Shinto.

I wouldn't mind a similar game for different lore. Like maybe a similar trip through the lavant and Christian religious figures and stories. I think the reason the church has fared so poorly is the stubberness in not allowing games unless they are pretty much gutted for "accuracy" reasons.

[@joshmccorkle3042]

I still cannot get over the Ninetails battle theme. Not quite as demented as Lechku and Nechku's, but it's such a well-composed piece. It just oozes power. The first time you fight her, you hear that music and you have no idea what to expect, and you're both just running all of a sudden, it's arguably the most epic moment in the entire game.

[@ArchAngelxDemonChao]

Not to mention the sudden stop in any and all music before it begins as you finish the constellation. Arguably the best build-up to a boss in Okami as well next to the Yami fight.

[@HalfafanD]

I like how Ninetails’s design makes its fur look like papier-mâché, like it’s not really real. It’s all a facade to hide the real fox underneath. Also my favorite is the twin owl demons’ theme. It’s sad they didn’t get more screen time or a chance to showcase their personalities. I love the unique clockwork/Victorian. I don’t know, there’s just something about it. The bell tolls and ticking mechanical sounds were also a nice touch.

[@joegamewaffle5967]

There were so many times in my first playthrough of the game where I thought I was facing the final boss, the music is that convincing. If you want to be specific, I'm pretty sure it was like that at Orochi, Ninetails, and Lechku and Nechku. Yeah. Only at Yami did I actually know for a fact that it was the end.

[@fauxfirefur]

Happend to me at true orochi

[@tyrant351]

Well that's because you were facing the final boss. It's a game divided into three and a half distinct arcs, the half being the Ark of Yamato.

[@SaltySeaStella]

First time playing I thought it was the end with fighting Orochi the first time and it kinda made me sad at first, but boy did it surprise me to be a game that was much longer than expected and one to be so thrilling!~

[@ScientistCat]

The dialogue with Ninetails before his battle strongly hinted at another, much more powerful dark lord. Other than that, the only way I knew Orochi wasn't the final boss for example, was that I hadn't yet obtained all the brush powers yet.

One thing I love about the final battle is that the music isn't threatening. I mean, yes, it has moments where you grab the controller in anticipation at the random flute notes, but it feels like the music is cheering the player on, and also warning him or her to keep Ammy going to not stay in one place.

[@ragingraichu219]

Well, that is because all the prayers from the people reignite Ammy's true power and she is able to defeat Yami. It's why the music is so encouraging.

[@kpopgamingstudios]

That's because the final battle theme is not Yami's theme, it's *Amaterasu's* theme. Hence why the official title is called 'The Sun Rises'.

I think I've never found anything like it. Almost forgot to say, about the way of the attacks! That was such a clever and amazing idea! I wanna play this game again...

1st: Nintetails has the best theme 2nd: i could go with Lechku and Nechku 3rd: (or 2.5) is True Orochi's theme 4th: can go to Blight (cuz is also waka's) Rest fall in whatever order. Ninetails is my fav cuz i love the whole arc in ryoshima coast and capital city, the sunken ship, Rao, Water Dragon, Lucky mallet/ Blight's fight, Otohime and Queen Himiko, Oni Island. Damn it do i love that arc!

[@pluckyfox08]

+YoManu “yomanolovega16” Vega I too, love that arc! and Ninetails is my favorite villain of the game! The rest like Yami, the twin owls, etc - i love equally 2nd to ninetails. I couldnt rate them XD but yeah, the ryoshima arc was amazing!

[@yomanolovega16]

pluckyfox08 the thing is like orochi (which is the first Big Boss of the game), Ninetails arc has so many mini plots that are all related and building up that story until it climaxes in oni Island that makes it an amazing part. Don't get me wrong i love the Kamui up north part with shiranui etc. but then you can kinda feel the game is just reaching the end. the threat and intensity wasn't as big as when Oni Island was about to disappear for the last time it was located, etc. You get my point xD

YoManu Vega yeah, i do ^^ i can definitely agree

[@iPlayOnSpica]

The Spider "Queen" is actually a Jorougumo, which is one of the stronger youkai in ancient Japanese folklore whose name more closely means spider prostitute (a prostitute cursed into spider form). In video games, though it is common for the Jorougumo to be a boss or mini-boss, it is rare for it to be a queen of any sort. I think in this case, it is just the English localization having decided on the name without thinking very deeply, because the Japanese localization just goes with Jorougumo.
