The Witcher 3 Took My Breath Away.

[@jonneyg22]

There is so much missing from this video. So many breathtaking songs from the Witcher 3. Definitely need a part 2 with Kaer Morhen, the fields of ard skellige, cloak and dagger, Pricilla’s song 🥹. Edit : I forgot to add Spikeroog 😬

[@barnuner]

Fields of ard skellige is such a special song. Truly beautiful.

[@wimvangelder]

Spikeroog is missing too sadly

[@jonneyg22]

@ going to edit my comment to add that too. .. so many amazing songs

[@umairasif15]

Witcher 3 has the best music I have ever heard in a video game.

[@GoldenLeafsMovies]

The Wolven Storm is so beautiful too, and Geralt of Rivia is straight up Polish Avengers theme which sounds so awesome.

[@WhiteWolf1708]

I can't believe they didn't suggest the best song from the series Pam pam param pam pam param its such a moving and inspirational piece

[@Just2Ddude]

I know exactly what song you mean. Its that legendary haha!

[@owlnemo]

The scene that goes with "The wolf and the swallow" is an emotional rollercoaster. It's the mark of a great song that you can feel it without having played the game.

[@Polinka198]

The Wolf is the White Wolf - Geralt and the Swallow is Zirael - Ciri. And the song plays when Geralt finally finds Ciri

[@videogamemovies7398]

@@Polinka198 ...when Geralt finds Ciri and believes her to be dead.

[@oslafoirausuebutuoy5457]

I also like 'The Fields of Ard Skellig', 'Gaunter O'Dimm's theme', and 'Tretogor Gate' (and of course Priscilla's song and 'Lullaby of Woe'). Such an amazing game.

[@abstractnonsense3253]

Ah, yes, Tretogor Gate. Fantastic one.

[@Sacrificial_Spaghetti]

No fields of Ard Skellig? You'll have to do yourself a huge favor and listen to that sometime.

[@kneuper3081]

Witcher 3 has one of the best music in Gaming history. Also both DLC's

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

"Wine Wars" is from the Blood & Wine DLC which takes place in Toussaint, a part of the world that is heavily inspired from southern France and Northern Italy. That's why you hear some arcordéon in it. The softer woman voice is also a theme across the whole B&W soundtrack (compared to the very raw voice in the main game's soundtrack). the "wine wars" is a quest where two vineyards are in competition with each other and you are hire as a witcher to get each vineyard rid of the monsters that cause them trouble

[@rafazatylny3222]

Oh yes, Silver for Monsters, also known as Lelelele song.

[@heron619]

Oh yes, Steel for Humans, also known as Banana Tiger song.

[@ryanrob-m2z]

Seeing lelelele gives me flashbacks to asmongolds transmigration competitions, when that song would come on chat would go wild haha

[@Cnith]

My 2 cents: Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le Le My other sents: Love this game and its soundtrack. I sometimes play it instead of the music in WoW, when I grind things that take a long time, to make it less boring. Great reaction!

[@voxstelarum]

Fyi, the ost is made by a folk band called Percival. They have performed the songs live and they sound as magnificent as in here

[@dnlkr]

I'm not saying you're wrong, but to add more context, a lot of the songs are rewritten songs from their older albums like Oj Dido from 2008, such as Sargon which is the base for Silver for Monsters. Many of them are Witcher original though.

[@markkettlewell7441]

I think the stringed instrument I the basolia.

[@heron619]

This needs a part 2 and maybe even a part 3 ASAP! So many great pieces missing like Lullaby of Woe, Fields of Ard Skellig, Gaunter O'Dimm's Theme, Priscilla's Song, Kaer Morhen, Farewell Old Friend, Family Matters. Mind you majority of these pieces are around 2 minutes long so don't be too intimitaded by the amount of tracks everyone is recommending :D

[@lurkingdrake4193]

Silver for monsters, Steel for Humans is literal. Witchers carry 2 swords as monsters are weak to silver.

[@alarathael9631]

*some monsters are weak to silver, others are weak to steel o/

[@dud5606]

Both are for monsters, only that the steel sword also comes in handy when defending yourself against bandits.

[@unlimited971]

Meat for who?

[@dnlkr]

@@alarathael9631 Most magical creatures/monsters are weak to silver, in the games literally all of them. In the book the silver sword, since it's a silvered sword that can chip quite easily, is reserved for the more troublesome creatures like high vampires because silver is corrosive to "magically-attuned" creatures. For game purposes Silver just bypasses the defenses Monster-class enemies have vs Steel, and this includes all "Monster" type enemies, from drowners to the Wild Hunt. Just because you can also kill monsters with steel doesn't mean they aren't weaker to silver.

[@nezfromhki]

The Wolf and the Swallow is definitely one that always gets me misty eyed. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the game next year (crazy it's been that long), the studio is doing a musical tour with an orchestra playing songs from the soundtrack and I so hope they're going to do one in Helsinki where I live. I would pay anything to get a ticket and cry my eyes out when hearing the music in person.

[@fuzekle]

Part 2 please! :D The banks of sansreteur, the fields of ard skellige, lullaby of woe, the slopes of the blessure - these are amazing and longer

[@cbearer5850]

You should do a follow up video. There's more than just combat or tense music in The Witcher 3. It has lovely songs all around.

[@hoang2312]

My last two brain cells during exam: BANANA TIGER & LELELELELE

[@Boreasnorm6391]

Skellige, and the boss music for Detlaff are some of my favorite pieces of all time. Never mind video games. This music is truly special.

[@sw-gs]

Language they sing in proto-Slavic that was used in mid 900's (10th century) on lands of Russia, Lithuenia and Poland.

[@Leishtek]

Legendary calibur music. Whenever anyone discusses what the greatest videogame soundtrack of all time is, Witcher III has to be a part of the conservation. I've been blown away by it for 9 years now.

[@maxbuchanan8869]

Alot of Slavic influence in the music for these games I believe since they are polish and Slavic mythology heavy. Very unique style which is why everyone can identify the songs immediately

[@israelamericano-sanchez3130]

I spent a long time hunting down what that stringed instrument is. The one that sounds muted but like a very old violin. It is called a Rebec, an ancestor to the violin.

[@Torrin516]

Priscilla's song from The Witcher 3 OST is one of my favorites. I'm 1000% positive it will be right up your alley

[@montytheblueblur]

Heck yeah! Emily listening to Witcher 3 OST! What a sweet surprise! 😄 Basically Witcher 3's soundtrack sounds so tribal because it is made in the Slavic culture by a polish compositor Marcin Przybyłowicz and polish folk-metal band Percival Schuttenbach. They really outdone themselves with this one and it shows! Glad you enjoyed it! Greetings from Poland 🙌 Definitely recommend making a part two and checking out other tracks as people name out here in the comments! For one I want to recommend is "The Slopes of The Blessure" from Blood and Wine DLC! It's absolutely one of my favourites

[@J_B1987]

First, The Wolf and The Swallow.. God, that ending 🥲 To answer your question: Witchers carry 2 swords.. A steel one for humans, a silver one for monsters.. Yes, it is related.

[@ITAmich]

Fun fact: most members of the folk band Percival who performed the OST and played all of the historical instruments were self-taught and couldn't read sheet music (only one finished music school) so they basically told them "Ok then, we'd like a song roughly like this, go nuts" and they did. If you'd like to know more, there is a developer diary about that here on YT, the title is: "Creating The Sound - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Official Developer Diary"

[@timwhitman3207]

This is an amazing game, you need to do a part 2 with all the songs people have listed here in the comments!! Please!

[@loslibrosdecarangi]

You need to do a part 2 with Kaer Morhen, Ard Skellige, and Pricilla's song, please we beg you!

[@janeq1618]

Play Witcher 3 for: gorgeous visuals, soundtrack that goes hard, challenging combat that perfectly suits the music, a story that will make you Feel Things, multiple possible endings depending on your choices, and coincidentally there's smut. Like, a generous helping of it.

[@namenlossterbliche6239]

"You're Immortal" and "The Night of Long Fangs" are also pretty good

[@curtisbrack3398]

Awesome. I've never seen anyone do reactions to the Witcher's fantastic music. You definitely need to do another round. There's so much more good stuff in the soundtrack.

[@carloscanas4215]

8:10 BANANA TIGER, BANANA TIGER 😂

[@DavidsPSVitaAccount]

This game has such an incredible soundtrack that it'd be criminal not to recommend you listen to every song, but if you do a part 2 (please) you should listen to "Kaer Morhen", "Fields of Ard Skellige", "You're... Immortal?", "The Slopes of the Blessure".

[@astrojeet]

Now you have to listen to the Thronebreaker OST. It is arguably better than the Witcher 3.

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

Needs a Part 2 video, so much good music in Witcher 3.

[@kneuper3081]

Ladies of the Wood --> best Sidequest I've ever played in a Game

[@fuzekle]

Slopes of the blessure and fields of ard skellige is a MUST! to listen to

[@Skarbona15]

Emily... "The Fields of Ard Skellig".... please, just that song. You will not regret this decision. BTW... I like your content.

[@senhorbidu16]

Is missing the best one: The Wolven Storm (Priscilla's song)

[@almas4663]

We need more! Particularly Bloody Baron's theme, Velen's theme, and Gaunter O'Dimm's Theme (Including "A Gifted Man Brings Gifts Galore")

[@hjorturerlend]

The music for TW3 was done by the neo-folk band Percival. Band name is a Witcher reference. Most of the combat music is made up of redone Percival tracks. The instruments you are thinking of are the Turkish saz/baglama and Greek lyra.

[@vincent4805]

First BG3, and then Witcher 3! What a treat. I'd suggest you also listen to Fields of Ard Skellige, and Wolven Storm (Priscilla's song) from Witcher 3. The latter is not included in OST but it's an in-game musical performance (watch the clip) To complete the wonder OST for 'three-quels', may I suggest Heroes of Might and Magic 3 soundtrack?

[@AtamanBG]

Most of the songs were composed by the Percival Schuttenbach band. If you want to check what instruments they play, you may be interested in this live concert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6TdoKSFoaZ5maM

[@jankowalski6338]

Just 'Percival'

[@jeroenvanos9653]

In my opinion the Witcher and the NieR franchises have the best game music of all. If you haven't checked out NieR: Replicant and NieR: Automata music, I highly recommend them!

[@Civil_Disguise]

Love the instruments in this soundtrack. I know they use a tagelharpa for many of the songs and I'm all for it.

[@aasimarGER]

Lady of the Woods, check out the cover videos from Dyrante you can see what instruments are used... the strange sound is a Hurdy Gurdy

[@markkettlewell7441]

The music is superlative. You should watch the videos of the performers. Traditional Polish instruments paired with an amazing orchestral backing 😅

[@JS-vj1il]

There have to be seperate videos for the DLC music.

[@justinsanderson3630]

As much as I love this soundtrack you haven't even scratched the surface of the best tracts... I'd say you should do a part 2 of the witcher 3

[@Anonymous-wk1jt]

You should listen to The Fields of Ard Skellig! It’s a completely different feeling from all the tense combat music.

[@Pichuuh]

Please make a part 2! There are so many others

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

Been trying to find time to play this, there's so much to do and I've barely scratched the surface even at 15+ hours.

[@Cnith]

Yeah if you do the two DLCs as well it will take some 150-200 hours I reckon.

[@ssjbargainsale]

With modding and stuff, I've put more than 1k hours into the witcher 3. Not scratching the surface at 15h is an understatement.

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

@@ssjbargainsale I'm sure it's more like 40+ hours, even then it's still the same statement. I've actually beaten like 8 other games since starting The Witcher 3. I haven't gotten back to it because well, I have a lot of games. As with Skyrim, this is a game that takes months. I'll get to it, I just kinda need to check off priorities first.

[@fuzekle]

@@DarkKnightBatman420 40+hrs is Blood and Wine DLC alone. it all depends on how many side quests youre doing though.

[@markkettlewell7441]

I wouldn’t refer to the music as tribal, since it can evoke negative connotations. Instead I would refer to it as traditional Slavic folk music.

[@igorbueno5729]

The Witcher 3 is definitely an all-time masterpiece of the gaming industry.

[@aydenheredia4178]

Lowk you should react to Ezio's family from Assassins Creed 2 and some other OSTs from AC2

[@EasyGameEh]

15:47 in game it's 10 times that

[@zyedelric]

We need Geralt of Rivia and Blood and Wine main themes next please

[@JaycetheCreatureCreator]

If you like this you might like the Monster Hunter Tri soundtrack, especially Cedaeus’s themes: The Lunar Abyss and Moonquake

[@LordFluffymort]

try " fields of ard skellige"

[@LourdessApekatt]

You're immortal, Possession of Jarl Udalryk and Hail to Caranthir would be cool to see a reaction to!

[@lna3108]

priscillas song is beautiful and gaunter o dimms theme is grand

[@SchwaWasHere]

Man, none of the beautiful chill tracks she would LOVE 😂🤣

[@smarterthenyou001]

Oh you must listen to Syanna’s theme, so much good music in the Witcher

[@vornamenachname4298]

You should definitely watch the live concert from Krakow. This was just great.

[@Innosos]

A lot of combat music. Not sure why, the "area" pieces are fantastic. Scratch that, a lot of the soundtrack is fantastic.

[@N5FX]

Do a part 2 please 😊

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Very impressive soundtrack. Really wants you to do Asura’s Wrath at some point. Also, have you done God of War yet?

[@Lighty-rn4ns]

Ladies of the woods is something else

[@Xeno7241]

It's probably already been said but I think the instrument is a Sitar? Could be wrong.

[@jankowalski6338]

Look up 'Percival' album Slava 1, 2,3,4 for the same vibe.

[@senior_comrade8401]

Please, there's more

[@younlongou4071]

Fields of ard skellige wasn’t in this video?

[@markkettlewell7441]

If you play the game and actually encounter the Ladies of the Wood, you will understand the music 😅

[@Vasilio1000]

This selection can give quite the wrong vibes about W3 music. Definitely examples of battle music (1-2 and 4-5 and partly 6), very specific quest music (third and last ones; btw the last one combined with the events in the game is truly a soul wrencher), but you did not have a glimpse of the bacground music that, frankly, is mostly heard while playing W3. Other vibes: The Fields of Ard Skellig, Spikeroog, Kaer Mohren, The Vagabond (improvisation on Kaer Mohren motive but more sad), The Hunter's Path and Whispers of Oxenfurt. For more medieval/folk vibes: Merchants of Novigrad, The Nightingale and Drink Up, There's More. But I would suggest you try the whole soundtrack, it is all really good.

[@user-Jesus-Link]

Great job on the video, I would love to see you react to Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity and Castle Crashers ost, those games also have good soundtracks.

[@axelherrera5481]

No Gwent,😢 I love all the others, but I hoped hear "A Story You Won't Believe"

[@stanisawzokiewski3308]

You should play the witcher 3. Its awesome, it will make you laugh and cry, it will make you feel proud and defeated. But there will always be hope.

[@MisjonenKomi]

Odd selection, but I guess it's a multi-parter, or more on her patreon ^^

[@chrisvashck1141]

[@hoang2312]

Please listen to some of the OST from Black Myth Wukong, you're gonna love it!

[@lorgrenbenirus]

Just to add, not "tribal" but "folk". Eastern Europe wasn't the land of savages, main "model" were villages where village elder was the central figure, authority over everything. Then there were towns and cities. And yes, "The Wolf and The Swallow" is indeed a sad theme, but it has it's moment. If you plan to play the game then you will see, if not then just search the net for "Witcher 3 Geralt finds Ciri" or similar keywords and check the video clip from that moment, it'll explain everything.
