The Guardian of the Oasis, Apep, is a new weekly boss in Genshin Impact version 3.6. This fight serves as the climax and conclusion of the brand new Nahida story quest part 2, where we get an awesome cutscene and tons of new Genshin lore drops. I’m a drummer, and this is my reaction to the new Genshin Apep boss theme!
It’s been brought to my attention that this version of the song is not the official release, and has some differences from the official track, titled God Devouring Mania. However, the Hoyo-Mix upload of God Devouring Mania was uploaded AFTER I had already recorded this video, and that song has now been deleted from the Hoyo Mix official channel.

EDIT – The official upload has been re-listed by Hoyo-Mix now, but either way, it wasn't there when I recorded and uploaded this video. Y'all gotta chill with dropping the same comment over and over telling me this isn't the official release 😅
I'm getting a lot of people commenting about how the audio I listened to isn't the official release. Two things:
1 – That release of God-Devouring Mania was done after I recorded this video, so I wouldn't have seen it anyway.
2 – As of today, that release has since been deleted from the Hoyo-Mix channel and is so longer available. It was barely up for an hour when they unlisted it. Super weird!
Concert when？
What is intetesting is that Apep is the name of an ancient spirit of evil, darkness and destruction in Egypt. As the arch enemy of the sun god, Ra, he is a malevolent force who can never be entirely vanquished. Every night, as the sun travels though the underworld (or across the sky), his roar will fill the air and he launches his attack.
The last variant you hear has been scrapped, it's the shame that they removed the best variant of phase 3
Smooth key changes at the end from minor into major… Just so slick!! I'm in love with this boss theme ❤
Genshin Impact pushing the boundaries of my musical knowledge.
The song is a perfect loop
The moment they change the key from F minor to Eb major is really cool
these type of music is wat i expect at the end of genshin
Apep's blood cell has this music lol
fischl battle theme pls🙏🙏
i think its called “Die Mittsommernacht-Fantasie”
I don't know why this song has intro to the Inazuma battle theme at 3:36, Overlord of the Thunderstorm. It is in the Sumeru desert region (Egyptian), but it has that Japanese feel to it somehow.
7:12 i listened to this track with Dolby Atmos ON yes i heard that. I even heard more instruments from the BGM in the Apple Music than in game
The music itself is already gorgeous, but playing the boss fight alongside the music is really eye opening cause it fits perfectly.
humans r so funny and adorable with the way we react to certain sounds in a certain order
it's definitely my favorite battle ost in genshin so far
The climax seriously sound like some kind of Ufotable soundtrack production especially for Demon Slayer.
The way photon of fluctuation leitmotif is in here makes me emotional, cause thats usually reserved for regional battle songs and YET. Also soundtrack is out now, this track is named god devouring mania and an absolute banger of a war song, i hope to keep up apep's weekly chemo for years to come lmao
Amazing reaction and thoughts! Absolutely enjoyed the way you interpreted it. It is amazing music for sure and I just feel so much joy to see more and more people hear Sumeru music! Hope you keep this coming.
The way this dragon do the ciclrcle thingy is like patapon lol
Yeah sumeru is the winner of the genshin OST so far.. the soundtracks is so emotional and make me get into the gameplay with all of my emotions
I love this game
There's the official version out now where it has a proper resolution at the end
What I love about this boss theme is that it gives the illusion that you are finished, then it comes back around like…"Nah, here's round two"😆
Some parts kinda reminds me to chrono trigger theme
I swear genshin's music never DISAPPOINTS
Sumeru music is second best for me. I like enkanomiya music mostly. But for apep the battle music similar to it.
Sam whooping and hollering like he's on a roller coaster while the music was rolling 😂

just barely finish nahida quest yesterday and really love this song so much now i cant wait for next week to fight this boss again , the percusion really good as hell love that part too , the musician that hit those drum really in high spirit, ah hyo please i want this song in next big concert
Despite other bosses, you are not fighting Apep for survival or to kill it, you are fighting him to heal and save him!
I think the music shows this feeling: Is not as dark as others bosses, it has the same epicness, but with hope in it.
At least that is the impression it brings to me.
The song repeats itself because apep dies and revived, and repeats. Thats why it goes harder second time
The bip-bop synth thingy in the background near the end reminds me of the sound of a heart monitor
And Apep happened to be ill when we were fighting their warden
