Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player finds brilliant musical Easter egg in epic boss theme Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has drawn attention to a musical Easter egg which can be heard in the theme music of Raphael\u2019s boss fight. The soundtrack for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, composed by Borislav Slavovhas, has no shortage of amazing songs. From ambient tunes to high-throttle battle music, fans have heavily praised the game\u2019s musical score. But one player has discovered a brilliant Easter egg hidden inside the melody of one of the game\u2019s major boss themes. Raphael\u2019s theme is composed in G minor, and its melody begins in this root note. However, it then moves to a C sharp. This unique movement is known as a tritone, and it was pointed out recently by artist and Tumblr user, supertonicat. The post goes on to explain a tritone is \u201cthe most dissonant interval,\u201d and because of its \u201ccreepy\u201d and \u201cunsettling\u201d quality it came to be \u201cknown in Western music as \u201cthe Devil\u2019s Interval.\u201d That\u2019s certainly an apt musical movement for a boss like Raphael \u2014 who\u2019s literally a devil. The discovery soon made its way to other social media sites too, with one Twitter user tagging in Slavovhas, calling him a \u201cgenius\u201d. Despite clever Easter eggs like this one hidden in the game\u2019s soundtrack, music was one of the only areas where Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 failed to nab an award at the recent Game Awards. Though its many well-hidden secrets helped it piled up the silverware, including 2023\u2019s coveted Game of the Year award from Geoff Keighley, and us too with Dexerto\u2019s own awards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
