What is your favorite Nod-Krai music so far?
My top 3:
1. From the newest ones: one of Piramida themes

For some reason I thought it was in Favonius Keep when I heard it first and that it was playing after a German song. Maybe I was somewhere between those two locations. Anyway I like how gentle and nostalgic it feels. Somehow it makes me think of Varka.
2. Grief Spreading Like Haze

Plays in the Final Night Cemetery. Almost brought me to tears. Reminds me of when I was doing those little quests with the ghosts of deceased lightkeepers for the first time. It is tranquil, almost comforting but also incredibly sad to me. There’s something about wandering through the cemetery in the dark, picking frostlamp flowers and reading the old gravestones while listening to this.
3. A Lie of Aila
https://youtu.be/n\_G2RZJCG94
You can hear it in the Sanctum of the Oathbearer if you did the quest (probably somewhere else too). Oddly captivating and beautiful with a hint of sweet melancholy. Also was featured in the most recent video of CatWithBlueHat about the twins lore and went very well with the video, but a great song regardless.

A close second though is “From Beyond” which plays in Nothing Passage during that world quest. The music and the quest are both so eerie and I’m still thinking about it. It’s amazing how Genshin is capable of such effective story telling through music and exploration notes alone.
A few of my favorite pieces from Nod Krai.
1. Desire's Intent - Gives me vibes of nostalgia and hope.
2. Lullaby of the New Moon. (Specifically, the second version.) - Bina singing will never not be peak.
3. Duckle 'Em Down! - Banger world boss OST.
4. Rerir's Boss theme. - Both parts were just so peak.
5. Also, despite how ass it is in the new Stygian, the new world boss has probably my favorite combat OST thus far. I think it's called The Lord of the Hidden Depths. It sounds like its right out of the Witcher.
Honorable mentions go to Lullaby of the New Moon (Columbina’s theme is beautiful) and Notes from Striking the Anvil (it’s so whimsical and peaceful).
