Half life 2 - Requiem for ravenholm (music)

[DarkMaulTheGreat]

Ravenholm scared the piss out of me..

[Omegaman40]

"Go now, brother. Look to your own...Salvation...aha! AHAHAHA!"

[blakbro2k]

I loved ravenholm

[JakeSpringhorn]

Ha, I remember playing Ravenholm in the HL2 Demo when I was little. Creeped the living shit out of me.

[realwaluigi]

holy shit, this track is really powerful when you realize the full extent of what was done to Ravenholm.

THOUSANDS of innocent people, turned into mindless hosts of alien parasites by an alien empire. Powerful stuff

[Bingohas2]

@realwaluigi

Sent a chill down my spine as I left Ravenholm and this music started playing with the crazy russian guy shooting headcrabs. That feeling can never be replicated again.

[realwaluigi]

@Bingohas2 LOL I'm sorry, your comment was good, its just, after seeing you refer to Father Grigori as "the crazy russian guy", I can't really keep myself from laughing

[Bingohas2]

@realwaluigi

OH so that's his name!

[DarkNintendo2000]

"That's the old passage to Ravenholm, We don't go there anymore..."

[TheFiko44]

When I started We don't go to Ravenholm, I scared so much and once I stopped playing, Scary sounds. But then I was curious to see what's going on there and started to play again. Damn that was really scary never seen before like this game. Awesome.

[ROBLOXSBW]

I pussied out of Ravenholm. I had friday blasting, sound completely off, and was on a skype call with my friends. Still, I was scared. I'm not really sure why, it doesn't even seem scary in the walkthroughs other than the horrific sounds. It's mostly that this song just sends chills down my spine the second I hear that church bell. I'm a pussy.

[DaiichiChan]

Just beat ravenholm yesterday. That was probably the most stressful time ever playing this game. Slamming my keyboard trying to escape zombies, running out of ammo, getting lost. In the end, I escaped without dying once and the light at the end of the tunnel was the most relieving sight I've ever seen in a game.

[BarberToad]

Starting Ravenholm, I had full health, almost full power, and had all the ammunition that I could need. "Heh" says I, "I'm ready, this Ravenholm is going to be a piece of cake".

Flash forward towards the end:

I'm out of power, at about 20% of my health, and the only weapons I had available was my pistol (almost empty) and my crowbar. And I'm waiting on that rooftop for the priest to save my sorry ass.....while zombies start frantically climbing the drainage pipes to get to me....

Scary game.

[ROBLOXSBW]

Jesus fucking christ. I haven't even gotten to the level, and this music just scares the shit out of me. Ravenholm is going to be tons of fun...

[MarioSuperLP]

Ich: Ach das wird ganz witzig mit den Zombies

*5 Minuten Später*

Ich: Heilige Scheiße.... AH HEADCRAB !!!

*rumschieß wie ein gesiteskranker*

Zombie: *trollface*

[TheRaackMan]

Me: Finally done with Ravenholm! :D (10 seconds later)

*Dead bye poison headcrab and fast headcrab*

(Passes that part)

Me: No more zombies! finally!

(first sniper) No prob!

(second sniper) ... *ragequit* / This could take awhile =__=

[XxCrazyKrackerxX]

@TheRaackMan there is still highway 17 filled with fun surprises!

[bananaempijama]

shotgun FTW

[HawaiiForever21]

if i had to go through we don't go to ravenholm with the radio music playing on an endless loop, i think i would hang myself.

[MCSuire]

There used to be a compilation of Ravenholm's different tracks in one video on here, but the creator lost his account and nobody has actually tried to make another compilation.

[Leishmaniasisably]

Look on the bright side: at least it's not as freaky as Radio.

[MrAug360]

This song get played because Father gregori is a demon. When we hear this song at the game we can see him walking into the fire and laughing. and the most sick thing is that when we kill one of the zombies he laught

[basaran516]

@MrAug360 nah...he just went insane.

[Bek359]

@MrAug360 He's merely a man been driven insane by watching everyone he knew being horribly mutated into savage freaks, and the responsibility he feels to end their suffering.

[realwaluigi]

@MrAug360 how is he a demon? HE IS A PRIEST, A MAN OF GOD. the reason he laughs is because he's had a few screws knocked loose, if you know what I mean. But hey, that happens when you watch everyone you know get turned into half-dead necrotic freaks by alien parasites -.-

[raywj1fan]

@MrAug360 I would laugh when one of those things died cause really, those things are fucking creepy

[Israelyguy14]

you here that siren in the beginning?

Yeah, that's the "sleepless nights ahead" warning.

[LegacyBurrito]

never.divide.by.zero...

[Lsaz17]

this song should be called nope.mp3

[pppie123]

"May the light of lights illuminate you're path. Walk to your own.. SALVATION! MUHAH..MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH­HAHAAH!"

[any343]

"Hello brother, my name is Father Gregory, and this..hehe..THIS IS MY CONGREGATION HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

[peacocean]

@any343 no no no, it goes like this: Hail brother, I am father Gregory, I see you have already met my, CONGREGATION, AHA, AHAHA, AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAH

[kageprod]

@peacocean @any343 No, no, no, no. It's "Hail brother, I am father Grigori, I see you've already met my congregation, hahahahahahahahha!!AHAHAHA!!!!­! "

You were close.

[pwrlvlonme]

I remeber your true face!

[Mehdidu95800]

@pwrlvlonme Does he said that to Gordon Freeman or to a Zombie?

[NazarovVv]

Explain something to me fellow gamers. How can Gordon not utter a single word in the course of 4 games and still tell a better story than all of the CoDs combined?

[tyber32]

@NazarovVv Because fuck good quality, we ne-

EXPROSHION!

[doylop135]

@NazarovVv Amen to that.

[Subject474]

@NazarovVv Because it's idiotic to even compare HL to CoD (No offense)

HL would OBVIOUSLY win.

[Spartain1998]

@NazarovVv cause hes gordon freeman. he is you.

[Lionist132]

Send Gordon to Dead Space. Necromorphs won't stand a chance.... Wait... Necromorphs + Headcrabs = A fuckton of holy-shit.

[HuginnG]

this part was way scarier than anything in dead space

[DarkeGBF]

@HuginnG That is a goddamn lie and you know it.

[MrSatternJr]

@HuginnG what isnt scarier then dead space? half life 2 uses atmosphere to scare you, and when i played ravenholm I never expected the next thing that did happen. when i played dead space 2 it was the same scare 9000000 times until i said "forget it" and uninstalled it.

[metroidfanclub2]

you know what a funny easteregg would be in this level a book of the raven in one of the rooms you have to search

[Omeed911]

I am on the "We don't go to Ravenholm" chapter of Half-Life 2. When I reached the ladder that takes you down to Ravenholm I paused the game and saved it because I thought nah I'm not ready and I had a feeling Ravenholm will be scary, hard and long. This weekend I shall carry on to Ravenholm. Couldn't Dog just charge through that collapsed ceiling rubble so we can get back with Alyx and get to Ely?

[PNDRazor]

@Omeed911 They wouldn't had stood a chance, Eli was a HVT therefore the Combine would have kept pouring in until they had him

[Omeed911]

@PNDRazor Good point.

[Crazyjay258]

"We don't go to Ravenholm..."

Yes...and I don't want to go.....

[RandomZace]

when Alux tells you to go through ravenholm im like "WHY CANT DOG JUST LIFT THIS RUBBLE AND WE CAN GO STRAIT TO ELI!"

[Bek359]

@RandomZace Probably don't want to run the risk of collapsing the area even more.

[GTR141Foxer]

Work to your own Salvation

[Cactusman96]

When I first was told to go trough Ravenholm after I had watch a little gameplay of it, I was like: "BUT WE DON'T F*CKING GO THEEEERRRREEE *sobbing"

[bgpivoter]

Aaah, the part where you get pwnt by zombies.

[supersnow17]

"walk to your own...salvation!"

[ratatatandbooger]

I salute you,Grigori.

For being a brave man.

[slisbtor4ok]

it has pretty cool achievement / trophy, you need to go through ravenholm using only gravy gun, that was epic

[tommymartin2001]

man i feel like im gordon freeman

[RandomZace]

the clock at the start instantly reminded me of the Scream Fortress music from TF2

[purplejim8]

"Look to your own salvation!" *laughs maniacally and runs off into the shadows*

[snuckerz]

The only thing missing is father Grigori's creepy laugh

[HombreHonest]

I really don't like ravenholm because of all those headcrabs and zombies. In fact, I'm going to be honest: Whenever I hear a headcrab (especially the black ones... *shudders*) I just can't progress any further because.... Well I hate their screech, they can reduce your health to one, and all the headcrabs and zombies SCARE the living crap out of me. All of you can call me a wimp if you want, but that's my opinion and that's how it's going to stay.

[TheSwordsmanMihawk]

@HombreHonest That's why they gave you so much saws, barrels and radiators to throw at the goddamn zombies.

[Legovids102]

Farewell my child! I fear I deliver you to a darker place!

[chaoticpix93]

Probably THE best scene in a FPS ever! I will never forget you Father Gregori and your awesome traps!

[88deathguy]

Here lies Father Grigori, he killed alot, and died a virgin

[sting2death2]

shivers down the spine.

[GSParasite]

one must stay after his flock, especially if they have grown unruley

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

Just listening to this gives me the chills.

[MemeticMutant]

"No one wants to stay in Ravenholm!"

I couldn't agree more, Father.

I run for the gate. It crashes shut behind me. I hear the Father's laughter as he guns down more and more of his old friends and family.

I don't look back. I can't look back, or I'll turn into a pillar of salt.

That's right, I'm a good little Catholic. I know the stories.

Father Grigori will watch over his sheep for many years to come. The sad little king of his sad little hill. As for me, well... I've got bigger problems.

[Cactusman96]

Man, those f_cking fast zombies... they scare the living.... poop out of me..

Mostly on sandtraps when you enter the prison via that pipe thingy and one just

comes running out screaming his head of, it's just OMFG!!!

[QuoteSenpai]

"Step lightly, brother. These are hallowed grounds..."

[G3org3Master]

watch?v=7z0N-o9T1Dk start sounds like ravenholm music, but all of song is epic..

[Tr3L0sGLaDy]

I rly dont get why HL2 never became a movie .....

[LongClawzHidden]

@maperche2 L2 use space bar, fucktard.

[jamalaron]

I love ravenholm as you kill zombies and light them on fire your realize they were once people. unlike every other zombie game or segment with zombies in it. it makes you hate the combine.

[ishallkillall]

@jamalaron dont forget they were still ALIVE but controlled..when alit, all you hear is the screaming of the host..until..silence

[dawkterderp]

"we don't go to ravenholm"

" ya whatever"

*music plays*

" nevermind"

[solimaniv]

@dawkterderp LOL

[thejonathan130]

ELI (DO NOT GO TO RAVEN HOL-)

ALYX(dog bring gordon to raven holm!)

[Khyron56]

"Farewell, brother! I fear I deliver you to a darker place! May the light of lights eluminate your path!"

"Walk to your own...salvation...HAHAHAHA!"

[JSKish11]

I almost teared up when I had to leave Father Grigori. It's games like these that really bring you in, and can play with your emotions.

[jose9758]

now brother.. you must leave, search for your own SALVATION MWAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA (echoed)

[ratatatandbooger]

Ravenholm shows what Combine's forces did to a humble small town.The last remaining person (who looks like he is mentally ill) is blasting zombies with his .357 shotgun and laughing.That's what I call a story line.

[TheKittenBreaker]

@ratatatandbooger

Except said town was actually a rebel hideout, so they had a (better) reason to bombard it. I agree though, Ravenholm was very well created for the story.

[glennglog22]

hl2 episode 3 storyline:

"meanwhile at eli's funreal as the ravenholom music play's"

"alyx contenu's to cry after ep.2"

gordon: it's ok wait i can talk finally.

alyx; really bcus i'm still upset.

the end of a example!

[fakarful2]

@glennglog22 lawl

[IZAwesome444]

@glennglog22 Must... keep... from... shooting.. you... in... the... head!! *Fighting to keep .357 magnum down*

FREEMAN MUST NOT SPEAK!!

[Emachines144]

And its very interesting how grigori could survive probably an unexpected attack from the combine with no warning.

[Emachines144]

@Quizboy9 well the reason i asked is because if you look around ravenholm you will see Lambda logos like and the walls and stuff.

[TheWHarlan]

I stopped and turned around at the end of ravenholm, just to see grigori and hear this soundtrack.

[deathstyleinc]

Father Grigori should replace joel osteen,and have his own religious brodcasts on TV

[darkshadow9581]

Best level in HL2, i hate poison zombies, and the barnacle near the end >< its hart to get past

[turntyle]

Fuck those black headcrabs man.

[fefor18]

@turntyle yep, i freaking hate the poison headcrabs :S they scare me to the shit out

[tzarax0]

@fefor18 lol when the poison headcrabs lunge at u they make a karate chop sound so i nickname them karate crabs :P

[ThePirishman]

"Walk to your own...... salvation...*Maniacal laughter*"

[fantasticcookievoyag]

ravenholm is the BEST level in hl2

[TheWHarlan]

"I know your TRUE face!"

P.S I somehow feel like an asshole for leaving him, AND taking his shotgun, but that gun has saved my ass soooo many times!

[TehNoobLand1]

Ravenholm is the funnest part in Half-Life 2

[bebeldan]

man.....we need a half-life movie

[eskimodude812]

@bebeldan And the best director they can find

[Blasphemisaurusaoe3]

@bebeldan Nope.avi

[ishallkillall]

@bebeldan hopefully it doesnt suck like most movies of games usually do

[11Aguilar11]

@bebeldan but only if you WONT see gordon freeman, because that would destroy the feeling of the game

[BigSmoke2222]

@bebeldan no we dont... Look at all the wonderful examples of games that are turned into movies. If by chance they do, I bet we all know who would make it...

[machiner6]

I'm going to make a mod someday that will be like Ravenholm, except it takes place on an Earthbound copy of Myst Island.

[MikeHoncho42]

Try and do the Zombie Chopper achievement for this. All kinds of hard... and I wouldnt have it any other way.

[machiner6]

@MikeHoncho42 I got ALL the achievements.

[MikeHoncho42]

@machiner6 Even the Lambda locator one? Impressive. Try the HL2EP1 achievement where you can fire one round the entire game. Everythin else has to be bombs, crowbars and gravity guns.

[GordonFreemanForever]

This is the most feared part in Half Life series,not for the spookiness,but the desperation and pressuring atmosphere.

[johnrey400]

this remind me of hellraiser

[ermanay11]

@MrFalcontastic I just don't want my head get humped by headcrab D:

[ermanay11]

@MrFalcontastic Well getting attecked by combines is better for me!I don't want to be a headcrab zombie D:

[cereme]

the most dramatical scene of the game...

[punkypenguin321]

A Shepard must tend to his flock, especially if they have grown unruly. * Guhaha* Muuahhahahaha*

[ermanay11]

I am not kidding if I was grigori I would suicade!Becouse of fear...

[TheDudeguy33]

Now. Look to your own.. Salvation *maniacal laughter*

[pppie123]

Put the volume on high and you will feel the goosebumps of the generation!

[gmodfan134]

Ravenholm is the scariest place in half life 2....and i just hate it when i enter the place.first time i entered and saw the houses and all the other things around there i was like "OMG!" and then i stopped playing half life 2 for one week X_X

[NihilusJK3]

Ravenholm still haunts my dreams. It's been over a year since my Steam account got hacked and I lost my copy of The Orange Box, and I haven't had the motivation to buy HL2 again, but still... Out of everything, Ravenholm remains the clearest. Walk to your own... Salvation! Ha! Hahaha!

[Moneyme25]

Guys, you're all liars. This isn't the song you listen to when you walk INTO Ravenholm, it's when you LEAVE. :I

[skylar15123]

@Moneyme25 Liar, you hear Triage at Dawn at exit.

[Moneyme25]

@skylar15123 No, you hear that 10-15 minutes later into the game AFTER leaving Ravenholm. :I

[ishallkillall]

@skylar15123 u hear that after passing the raills after ravenholm..it starts just when u reach resistance

[besju]

I kinda wish that one day our world as we know it will turn into Zombie chaos, :/

[sfmkki]

@besju headcrabs!

[samotdengode]

@besju you know i kinda agree

[Arghir92]

you call ravenholm scary wait till you see my back yard :))

[OonProo]

@Arghir92 hahaha whats there D:

[Arghir92]

@OonProo you don't wanna know let's just say there hasn't been anyone there for a long time :))))

[C63AMGestate]

Ravenholm - the creepiest place in existence.

[happyblock4000]

dude if you have gone through ravenholm, youve DEFINITELY been through hell!!!

[angelpooz]

watch?v=QK7lLRCs7Fc

[PasanaFrancis]

As I Fly out of the Blood Crisis Town of Ravenholm..

Gman Walks away like an idiot, Who doesn't know who he's Stalking is behind his back.

[PasanaFrancis]

Jim French - Voice actor of Bill & Grigori

Jim French must loove zombies.

Father Grigori: HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!

[DonbeeFwz]

@PasanaFrancis No, it's just that he works for Valve. Valve use the same voice actors for a lot of their games.

[kentlofgren]

Leaving Father Grigori is not easy. However, judging from his vigour and smartness, I feel he can look after himself.

[superlegoninja101]

@kentlofgren ya think hes a priest that punches zombies in the face

[killehoho]

@kentlofgren my lil bro made it through raveholm with many ammo runouts and he was like GRIGORI WILL SURVIVE |

[Thadah2]

@kentlofgren It is supposed he dies, because he enters in the mausoleum and the fire starts up, anyway he couldnt have infinite ammo.

[DWSimmy]

@Thadah2 The producers actually said that since they don't plan to re-use Grigori's character (yeah, I was sad to), they decided leave his fate up to the player's imagination. I like to think he either survived and eventually made it out of ravenholm, or got cornered in a building and blew himself up, taking a horde of zombies with him.

[CanadianPolybius]

@kentlofgren

I think its implied he dies.

[winterfoxisminenubz]

@kentlofgren Well I believe Father Grigori is Still alive ... Valve Said it was up to us to decide... i think he lived because when he lights the fire he stands behind it, giving him Complete Protection...

[Khyron56]

"Farewell, brother! I fear I deliver you to a darker place! May the light of lights elluminate your path! Walk to your own...salvation! Haha!"

[qwertypuffs]

When I heard that in the game I felt so sad

[eskimodude812]

@qwertypuffs me too it kind of brings... haunting images to me

[Gymrat9598]

*Has to leave Grigori and the song plays.*

NO!!!!!!!!!

[champayne17]

Ravenholm is comparable to the Librarian part in Metro 2033.

Once you beat that part of the game nothing after it will terrify you :D

[theWylenialy]

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for im Gordon Freeman! :P

[solidfreak123]

I remember in Smod Redux/Tactical 5.56 on Highway 17, you can see Grigori and a few rebels fighting off the Combine.

[TheGrillZone]

When Grigori opend the gate i was like "DUDE COME WITH ME AND HELP IN THE FIGHT" and then i had to leave him and i was like "noooooooooooooooOOOOOoooooo0o­0o0o0ooooooo" o_0

[DecimatorKillz]

*Attention*

If you go back to Grigori after loading point he will be seen forever fighting hordes of zombies. He won't die forcing you to leave Ravenholm because it is boring watching him fighting forever and nothing interesting happen.

[mattiathekaiju]

i felt sad watching father Grigori fighting all those zombies alone :(.

[samuelnesk01]

epic epic soooo epic!

[Tertyu48]

Goosebumps.

Nuff' said o_o

[sangheili1024]

Walk to your own...salvation. Haha, HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[NanoTrout1]

This is the best 32 second song ever.

[benlardo]

at 6:00 i just think of the town horn blowin telling everyone the zombies are attacking

[johnroxdemsox2]

You can use my traps but be sure not to fall into them yourself HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Tormundellis]

I heard this and said "And I thought the tunnel was sketchy"

[MrKillerofallpeople]

great, now i want to kill zombies. no really, thats great.

[allysum101]

It was basically just a refugee camp for citizens escaping city 17.the resistance didn't really start until freeman took nova prospect so grigory was a refugee like the rest of them and didn't go fighting wars and stuff.e

[Emachines144]

oh because at one point Alyx says "we use to be able to go right up there to raven holm" and Alyx is part of the resistance as well as the city 17 citizens.

[Assassinscreetard]

When you hear this music your first thought is SHIT!

[hat1324]

I love how you're all like "Finally! No more crazy shit!" and then they dump you in Ravenholm...

[Emachines144]

was grigori part of the resistance?

[tehubernessofuber]

@Emachines144 Not really.  He was just a priest who could use guns.
