Everybody gangsta 'till Dess uses ElecShock and the Sky Mantle reflects it back

that moment when the battle starts 1:29 minutes in and the song is almost over:

[@Cs-vs7qk]

*[**0:00** - **1:55**] Nightmare Knight* Obviously. :P *[**0:35** - **1:11**] Before The Story - Undertale for PS4 / Deltarune (Melody A or Background)* Doesn't have the Once Upon A Time part, just the background music. Nice leitmotif from the Ch1 in the end of the game. *[**0:35** - **1:11**] Amalgam - Undertale (Background)* I don't know if you can take this as a leitmotif, but there's some creepy wind/whisper sound from Amalgam that repeats with the Before The Story leitmotif. This probably doesn't have any story-relevance to the Knight tho. *[**0:59** - **1:11**] Heartache (Melody A) / Asgore (Melody B) - Undertale* For Heartache, it can be a leitmotif for Kris' reminiscence of their family. For Asgore, it can be a reference for Asgore in Undertale, as the Knight is kinda in the similar position to him. (The latter one would make more sense if the Knight is related to Asgore or knows about him in the story, like how BIG SHOT had the Power Of Neo leitmotif.) *[**1:12** - **1:29**] THE HOLY - Deltarune (Melody C)* Repeats 4 times, including the one at 1:26. THE HOLY is the theme that's played in the Fountain room, thus it's obviously related to the Knight. *[**1:13** - **1:16**] Lost Girl - Deltarune (Melody A)* and any other Noelle theme Only appears 1 time :< Noelle might be related to the Angel, Knight, Gaster, or anything else. This leitmotif might be Dess', tho. *[**1:15** - **1:24**] The World Revolving - Deltarune (Melody C)* Repeats 2 times. Can be taken as Freedom Motif, but I'm not sure since the 'Freedom Motif's used for secret bosses in the official game is only the Melody B and Melody D of The World Revolving. *[**1:26** - **1:29**] Smart Race - Deltarune (Melody A or Background)* Short leitmotif of Burghley plays. :) _(__1:29__) The Sound Effect That Might Play When You Enter A Battle_ *[**1:30** - **1:54**] Vs. Susie - Delatrune (Melody A or Background)* Susie's leitmotif, probably used for her being one of the Three HEROES in the prophecy. *[**1:42** - **1:49**] The Legend - Deltarune (Melody B)* Nightmare Knight's melody is changed similar to the first few notes of Melody B of The Legend repeating. There's similar, or same melody playing in the background too. *[**1:48** - **1:51**] THE HOLY - Deltarune (Melody C)* Appears in the background, continued from The Legend (Melody B) leitmotif right before it. *[**1:51** - **1:53**] The Legend - Deltarune (Melody C)* Few notes from the third melody of The Legend, playing in the background. Continued from THE HOLY (Melody C) leitmotif right before it. *[**1:54** - **2:08**] Gaster's Theme - Undertale* First part of him.ogg repeats through the last part of the song. Gaster sure is related to the Knight, in many ways. :P *[**1:54** - **2:05**] THE HOLY - Deltarune (Melody A)* First melody of THE HOLY. *[**1:56** - **2:06**] Faint Courage - Deltarune (Melody B)* If you take Darkness Falls / Faint Courage as Kris' theme, This can be Kris' leitmotif used for him being one of the Three HEROES in the prophecy, and being the main protagonist. Otherwise, this would be more of a leitmotif for Darkness itself, or maybe Gaster. *[**2:00** - **2:01**] THE HOLY - Deltarune (Melody C)* Melody C of THE HOLY shortly plays in the background again. *[**2:02** - **2:09**] - YOUR POWER - Deltarune* A Don't Forget leitmotif that plays when you seal a fountain. It's kinda continued from the Faint Courage (Melody B) leitmotif right before it. Faint Courage motif still goes on tho. *[**2:09** - **2:12**] Nightmare Knight* PERFECT LOOP Holy cungadero that's pretty long

[@RavenJess27UTArchive]

Holy crud, you guessed almost all of them correctly. You even gave some analysis about it, I'm impressed! Though, you missed two motifs. One was right in the open and the other one is VERY silent that its almost unhearable (kinda my fault since I didn't gave it much volume). But nonetheless, wow. Congrats!

[@Cs-vs7qk]

@@RavenJess27UTArchive I feel like there is something at 0:35 - 1:11 in the background, but maybe that's just a sound effect. And at 1:18 and 1:24, I hear a small jiggle that sounds like The Legend (Melody C). Idk if it's the right leitmotif but I definitely hear something there. :o

[@RavenJess27UTArchive]

I forgot to mention there is a motif at 0:35, it was short bursts of that creepy "Amalgam" whisper and I forgot I put it there tbh XD. You were actually close to one of the motifs. At 1:27, it's Smart Race. At 1:54, whenever you hear that constant beeping of a triangle wave, that was the high note of Gaster's Theme. You could prob hear it better at 2:06 but its so quiet you can barely notice it especially the low notes of the motif.

[@Cs-vs7qk]

@@RavenJess27UTArchive Wow, I thought the Smart Race part was just Nightmare Knight because it fits so well there. I can hear Gaster's Theme pretty well after I know it is there too. I'll add these to the list soon :)

[@Knux5577]

I think that Gaster is somehow related or involved with the knight but might not be the knight or otherwise main villain, if he is actually a villain at all in deltarune.

[@thegigglerfromkoinophobia]

sounds like a kirby boss theme too.

[@MirrorHall_Clay]

The original Nightmare Knight was entirely made with samples used in the SNES Kirby games!

[@thegigglerfromkoinophobia]

​@@MirrorHall_Clay makes more sense now.

[@lunarsyrup5304]

wow this is really good, it sounds very intense with all the different instruments and motifs

[@darkduckpl9620]

Its wierd, but in a good way Its so unsettling it sends chills down your spine, yet I'm just vibing to it... Also good use of letmotifs

[@susangardini8161]

*It has begun *The air howls triumphantly *Its so cold... *You have no choice *The world falls beneath you *Memories swirl around you *You must FIGHT

[@nmnmnn]

Sounds good

[@sunnyside3307]

It's a shame "The Nightmare before Christmas" was taken already. Great work!

[@crunchy_cat]
