Ratchet and Clank OST - Veldin In Peril - Chairman Drek

[@vDREEGONv]

I like how the first game ends with a track that sounds like the soundtrack from the second game. It's like this final battle for the first game is also the beginning of the second game in a way :)

[@elchar3577]

Aranos Ratchet escape kinda sounds like this one

[@LouisDesitter]

If you want to hear it in Collection, simply beat the Giant Clank phase on the Veldin ground, not on the platform. Use missiles like a maniac.

[@Vice8641]

This actually works. Don’t even have to be on the ground, just outside of the circular area (the bridge is okay too). Two bombs and a couple of missiles and you’re good to go. Thank you for the tip!

[@LouisDesitter]

@@Vice8641 You're welcome.

[@tims.1615]

Does it work on the digital standalone version?

[@LouisDesitter]

@@tims.1615 Hmmmm... can't say for sure. You'll have to try it out.

[@OILERS084]

Another method exists, but it's only if you beaten Drek and refuse to start challenge mode. All you have to do, is start at the beginning of Veldin in Peril, go to the teleporter, if you're where Drek is walk back, go to the bridge, the music will play so you have to die. Once you respawn at the beginning of the level then go back to the teleporter and once you teleport to Drek the music will keep playing. Easy method, I have tried this on the digital game, not the collection.

[@crashschwarzen4642]

Still one of my all time favourite boss tracks

[@MegaChickenfish]

Nothing quite like beating this boss with the RYNO. * Chairman Drek appears * * BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM * * Chairman Drek flies off *

[@BreakSabre]

This is why I prefer video game music over anything on the radio, such intense and well composed music is a joy to hear, and the R&C series always delivers. I feel that from Deadlocked to the more recent games though that they have lost the old feel and style of their music, but I still appreciate the music as its own style.

[@elitedeadlockedhd2007]

not deadlocked

[@BreakSabre]

@@elitedeadlockedhd2007Interesting blast from the past here after 11 years! Deadlocked's are certainly different from the usual but the one track that I actually had to stop and appreciate was 1 minute into the Ghost Train escape stage at the end. It felt eerie and gave a good "this is it" kind of vibe.

[@battlecourtstudio1299]

What I liked most about the ending is that in order to complete the game it wasn't just the boss you had to defeat but to complete the game you had to press a button in order to make it official, no other game I know of has done this before or after

[@BoIv3rk]

linking the fire in Dark Souls 1 & 3 ;)

[@IidosGamingDen]

Eh, there's a lot of games that have a bit of something after the final boss. Sometimes they end with a timed escape as the final area self-destructs (Metroid for instance), sometimes there's a playable epilogue section (most commonly happens in RPGs), etc.

[@Mariofan665]

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time did something similar.

[@fagglebag]

Every Mario game ever lol

[@keklord4128]

That french rpg maker game called OFF had something like this too

[@Nico-the-Nacho]

Amazing that a synthisizer can produce this mutch epicness.

[@corneel25]

if you want to play this, just walk back all the way to your ship and then teleport back to drek. This song will play all the time during your battle. Have fun!

[@alexninten8818]

Do have to do this after or before the clank part

[@alexninten8818]

Have you tried what he said to do? Im currently streaming this game on twitch (and upload each planet on YT)and want to know what exactly need to do to get the song to play. As im getting close to the end game. I just got to the snow planet so its close

[@sephiroth8483]

@@alexninten8818 After the Clank part

[@TheBest-oh5qc]

Found a much easier way to do this. When you enter the level, after usual ship cutscene, use the teleporter to go to Drek. Backtrack to the Giant Clank section until you hear the theme change. After that just die in any way while the theme plays. You should end up at the start of the level with the theme playing. Teleport back to Drek and start the battle. (I did this on the PS3 HD version.)

[@stigfan35]

good advice for the hd trilogy but an easy way would be just playing the OG ps2 version

[@DimensionalIce]

No, I play an original PS2 version of Ratchet & Clank that I acquired years ago when it first came out. I've faced & beat Drek over 10 times and not once has this music played for me on my game. I was quite sad when I knew this to be true but I still enjoy the final boss. It's probably the most epic one on the PS2 besides Dr. Nefarius. I thought the Mutated Protopet of R&C 2 was lackluster and easy.

[@ebboy53]

Really easy.

[@michaelwright3044]

It’s on the ps2 Platinum port that’s why

[@QueenOfFandoms]

@@michaelwright3044 I played the orignal version and it had the song on it. I think It might be region-related, not the Platinum version or not.

[@Freezer5min]

The best villain in the R&C games. And the best final fight theme.

[@simonediliberto4314]

While this is a very good battle theme i disagree on the best villain . That honor goes to Nefarious for me

[@Freezer5min]

@@simonediliberto4314 I like Nefarious design, but I never liked his personality.

[@R3SerialDreams2]

@@Freezer5min I agree. To my recollection, Drek came the closest of any RaC villain to achieving his goal. And even though he failed, he still left permanent and long-lasting damage in his wake. Several planets, peoples' homes, gone for good. All for what was essentially a money-laundering scheme.

[@Bellezzasolo]

That was a truly great twist. All along, we have Drek about making a new home for the Blarg. We see that Orxon is an uninhabitable waste. It seems like his goal is on some level noble. But no, it was entirely a money making scheme!

[@drupadbaiju5166]

Imagine if this was in Ratchet and Clank PS4 in the final boss battle with Dr Nefarious! That would be insane!

[@R3SerialDreams2]

@@SaoryEmanoelle but it ain't just a trilogy, there were six games in the OG series.

[@QueenOfFandoms]

I LOVE this soundtrack piece, it just feels so... final. It really makes that final boss fight feel so epic and really emphasises what you've been fighting for. Then hearing it again while the credits play, there's such a sense of achievement in it as well, it'a amazing how it works so well both as a final boss theme and as a post-game theme. I remember the first time I heard this when I beat the game, I was 6 years old and my family all worked together to beat the game, we were all invested in this finale and were all pleased with the ending.

[@mitetenkov4858]

oh man that part of the game was really hard

[@SLTheOneAndAwesome19]

Ooh, wow, nostalgia. I loved this game SO much.

[@ptxsptxs]

I played lots of games for PC, PS2, NDS and GBA, and by far this was the most epic and incredibly hard (without the RYNO) boss battle ever.

[@ClassicalTheist]

I absolutely love these soundtracks, and I love Ratchet and Clank!

[@wowviewer]

I didn't know there was a final boss theme in the original! I have the game (bought it with the PS2) and I didn't hear this. I just got the music when you enter Veldin the 2nd time. I thought it was really boring for a last fight music. After this, I'm shocked lol

[@TopBanana1127]

My first ps2 game. :)

[@AuronSuper95]

No, it's for the Platinum Version. If you search the final boss on KZbin you'll find some video without this soundtrack, both PAL and NTSC users.

[@ipodluigi505]

This is godly when played through headphones! :D

[@DimensionalIce]

Well I just beat this game again yesterday so I must thank you for uploading this great piece of music because this one does not exist in my game. When I faced Drek all it played was the Veldin in Peril music that plays throughout the whole stage. I don't know if it's just my game or something else but this definitely does not play on mine. So I listened to it using your video. Didn't even die once to Drek so thanks.

[@AuronSuper95]

@Dragonfloe Yes. I used my old disc, I backtracked to the Clank area and I got the music. It seems on the Platinum version they improved also the graphics a lot.

[@markharjo8671]

I think the reason this never played because of a bug in the original version but in the collection version if you did the giant clank phase on the ground and defeated drek by shooting missiles at him the game won't bug out on you and it will play this instead

[@Nico-the-Nacho]

this is the case for the original PS2 version too

[@Schoney32]

That a lot of work for a song worth it

[@hitkid96fan]

Can confirm that this plays in the Greatest Hits version if you leave the arena just like the HD version.

[@EmperorXaozx]

R.I.P Chairman Drek and your suit-matching mech too

[@TheBest-oh5qc]

Easy way to get this to play while fighting Drek: After you get the teleporter to Drek, leave the level and comeback. Teleport back to Drek and backtrack only to the Giant Clank section, be careful not to go too far. As soon as you hear this theme play, die anyway you can. You should start back at the beggining of the level with the theme playing. Afterwards, just teleport to Drek and fight him. (I did this on the PS3 HD collection.) (You don't actually have to leave the level and come back. You just need your last checkpoint to be at your ship, in the beggining of the level.)

[@tims.1615]

I think the veldin theme suits the boss as well

Definitely. I couldn't care less for trophies, but I have NEVER had any glitches in a R&C game ever. So far, i've had 3 and times where it has lagged. The last boss is ruined because this music is missing, and it lags badly. Thanks, Sony.

actually the EU version still has this in the game, though i am unsure how many copies actually have the theme play, my one does but i dont know how many there are.

[@Nico-the-Nacho]

you can fix it by going backwards out of the arena until the song starts playing, and shoot Drek from far away. When he transforms you back to normal size you will be back in the arena with the music playing and can continue the boss fight with the epic music
