[MS BGM] Cygnus Garden (KMST 1.2.359)

[xGCITB]

The first chord played felt as if the finest oaken bow with brilliant silk-like strings dragged right along the thickest string of my heart, and then i stopped being a fag and logged on maple story.

[TheAshezar]

This is a really good song.

[vovo22900]

They need an extended version!!!!!

[JackyTVK]

5 people wanna see how long is Justin bieber's dick why dislike until the red thing comes out. Well thats how long is it?

[NikolaiBelinski2357]

damn i dunno why i feel sad after hearing this song

[gameraterx20]

ONLY song that i like in gms. =>

[veracuiz]

So the Empress Cygnus get to lick Black Mage's dick??? As well as Oz and Aria??? Interesting.

[JosantZelmir]

Esto si vale la pena escucharlo en alta calidad

[lin2k4]

Joe Hisaishi is amazing

[foo9883]

its a pity that even the source from the game client is a measly 80kbps stereo mp3.

[ClewBird]

FINALLY something better then craps.

[MrNitroist]

wow this music makes u feel like u already lost like the black mage just destroyed u and ur barely living GOOD JOB NEXON =)

[FaKeDYoo]

this boss is why the Phantom class is going to come out

[SignUpNowToGet]

For everyone! The composer is Joe Hisaishi!!

[elie9212]

ha ha! so much for weak monsters XD

[BubblingRulez]

Wasnt cygnus garden an illusion set up by the black mage? WOW black mage, you must be really bored...

Why don't you make evil checky, i'm sure people will like that =3

[imoncrack22]

In the future, Phantom failed to protect empress cygnus. He let her fall into the pit of darkness, controlled by the black mage. When Phantom gets to 200, he will avenge her and bring her back home.

[skycombat]

@imoncrack22 Empress Cygnus doesn't actually become evil in the future. The future we see is a dream dimension created by Arkarium, a follower of the Black Mage (who we'll also get to fight).

[PwnedStory]

I think that I have just fallen in love with this piece.

Anyone know for sure who the composer is?

[ShiftintheContinuum]

@PwnedStory

Composer's Joe Hisaishi, well-known for his work in Miyazaki films such as

Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle.

Surprised that Nexon was able to get him to compose a piece for MS.

[babyrosyx3]

Love this. But isit a little ironic with the strongest boss? Looks like i have to translate the sheet.

[TheUltimateSpirit]

Zakum CANT Be the final boss of Maple. CYGNUS is. Because lvl170-200 Zakum Is 50 - 200. And this music is way more epic.

[ninjaduy20]

The beginning reminds me of Howl's Moving Castle for some reason.

[KewlRobloxDudex2]

Does anyone know where I can find a music sheet for this on Trombone?

[CrayolaSquink]

@KewlRobloxDudex2 BLAHBLAHBLAH BAND NERD THESE DAYS. Bassoon best!

[AzNbOiJayJ]

@KewlRobloxDudex2 Trombone! It is the pain in the ass finding any sheet music for trombone without transcribing it yourself.

[CrayolaSquink]

There are many definitions, okay?!!!!!

@ZatchProductions Don't "-_-" me, noob!

[ZatchProductions]

@CrayolaSquink I think he means poor. -_-

[qq0920ww]

thx UR DL LINK

[96thlegend]

Everyone Future Maple World just equals Black Mages Fantasy formed into an illusion

[ShadowLucario78]

What a depressing feeling. The Empress was your friend all this time, trying to stop the Black Mage with you. But, she fell into the trap of the Black Mage and lost all conscious of herself, now a puppet for the Black Mage. You then have to fight the Empress, when you don't want to hurt her at all...

[Xaio30]

Faith in humanity = restored.

[ShadowsOfVoid]

@KibaAkamaru41 Lol, no it isn't. melanie isn't right either, but this is not the real future; it's been proven to be fake already. A fake alternate future dream created by the Black Mage and shown to the Maple World to make them believe a false future.

[KibaAkamaru41]

@ShadowsOfVoid Yeah, I learned that a few days after I posted that- Thanks for the correction!

[Haro13337]

@icedem0n326

Cygnus wanted her knights to be more powerful and herself also, to help the heroes of maple fight the black mage. She gets information about the world tree making one stronger, but the tactician, neinheart saw that it was a trap and warned cygnus. Stubborn, Cygnus went off to the world tree along with her knights only to fall to a trap set up by the black mage controlling her and her knights, making their wish, to be more powerful, granted. They went to Maple to spread the chaos

[TF2AWESOME]

This music is so beautiful

[icedem0n326]

what the story line about her beencontrolled?

[mcpotatoporking95]

wow me and my friends came pretty dam close to beating her until nexon said hey lets make a unscheduled server maintence i was pissed of the rest of the day :(

[TheDevirtue]

20 years later, black mage defeated

[milpwnz]

They say it was some black magician's mages illusion trick

[melanieEhayes]

I agree this song is sad but have you thought that this is the form of the captain knights before joining empress cygnus? I mean it could be them in the past or their like opposite deminsional them or something

[KibaAkamaru41]

@melanieEhayes Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is the true future of Ereve. Not the past, not another forme, not an opposite dimension, but the actual remains of the land of the Cygnus Knight- in the future.

[WonderWaffleNin616]

This is the only thing that's driving me to get to 200. Just to go fight Cygnus and listen to this.

[voogelm1]

R.I.P. To all my cygnus Knight Friends.. Q_Q

[Itachix520]

Finally nexon has used our money to hire great orchestra players to make music

[reignofcows]

@Itachix520 Because it would be so much cheaper than hiring one guy and buying orchestral software. (note: composers are paid much less than performers)

[PyrusDragonoid]

@Itachix520 It's nexon korea... it's the korean people's money...

[KentaTakashi]

@Itachix520 great orchestra players? i dunno about that ........ but this definitely is an improvement over the earlier years... btw mind u in the past due to technology midi's were more prevalent cause they were easier to compress and store

[andrez123100]

@KentaTakashi They hired one of the greatest modern day composers to compose this piece. Its amazing.

[KentaTakashi]

@andrez123100 a composer doesn't have anything to do with an orchestra... the composer is great and so is the song... but the orchestra that played it could have been better imo :I it ccould also just be the compression rate it is only 84kbps

[andrez123100]

@KentaTakashi i never mentioned anything about the orchestra.

[Mijumon]

@KentaTakashi A composer does have quite a lot involved in an orchestra o.o

With a bad composer, the orchestra will play a bad piece and make them sound horrible.

I know what you mean by they could have been better, but it's these little faults that makes it more real, if it's completely flawless you can't tell if it's computer made or real, and here it sounds real to me, which makes me appreciate this piece even more.

[flingo33333]

@KentaTakashi dude just stfu

[ShadowsOfVoid]

@Mijumon It's not a purple aura. His hair just faded to that color when he was corrupted, just like Cygnus and the rest of the Chief Knights.

[Mijumon]

@ShadowsOfVoid Oh lol really? Thanks then :)

Bugged me for quite long :/

[Randomness4451]

@Mijumon isn't it juz a purple aura? o.o

[Mijumon]

@Randomness4451 hmm well, if it were just a purple aura, wouldn't the rest of the Cygnus Knights have purple hair as well?

[Mijumon]

Someone tell me how the hell did Hawkeye get purple hair in the future.

[thanh320]

Wow very depressing... This music has touched my heart that I'm getting into the story line for maple... Hopefully, I'll train my Dark Knight to a decent level and stop the black mage!

[DisturbedSaiyan]

its all a illusion by the black mage...

[Infernify]

Good Animation

Deep Storyline

Make a new maplestory anime already

[yannaa8424]

a beautiful song....for dancing!

[yannaa8424]

a beautiful song....for dancing!

[HiroKiche]

What the hell happens after you defeat her? Does she die? Is that it?!

[ShadowsOfVoid]

@HiroKiche Shinsoo appears and tells you that the whole thing wasn't real; the whole "Door to the Future" thing is just a dream / illusion created by a minion of the Black Mage, who I guess has the power to manipulate dreams. So in other words, that whole "World Tree" crap apparently never happened.

[lasertaco1]

I can predict the future.... AND I PREDICT CHAOS CYGNUS MUAHAHAHA!

[AgentStolas]

you kill empress cygnus in future ereve=saddest thing in the world

you kill your best friend in pvp=haha kill me again! :D

[bohanyao]

look at it this way. If Nexon released the black mage and we somehow beat him ( or it) then the storyline for maplestory will pretty much be over. so i think that Nexon's gonna make more bosses with the storyline, therefore in increasing the level cap. i think the black mage is gonna b like level 1000 lolz

[stuffdud3]

well gotta mass grind so i can hear tis all day on endless replay

[3l3tric]

This is Maplestory? I thought it was Angry Birds at first cuz of the big blue bird thr.

[Haro13337]

this music is like the sad ally vs ally fights or friend vs friend

[itzRafaaa]

Almost 100k views... Quite a famous music.

[itzRafaaa]

@nintendoboy1207 ... O_O

Poor Cyg... She was cutier when young.

[HerospamMC]

@itzRafaaa Le Pedobear

[itzRafaaa]

WHAT HAPPENED TO CYGNUS?

Can somebody say to me, what the heck did her got in her head?

[itzRafaaa]

They should have named it "Waltz of the Chaos" or something like this.

[Haro13337]

shes not this strong when shes sleeping like that, shes this strong when the black mage implanted evil magic into her

[xEnigmaFlamex]

@Haro13337 the magic didnt do shit to her power. it just made her turn evil..... lol she was already hella strong to begin with. you dont get crowned Empress for nothing LMFAO

[ShadowsOfVoid]

@xEnigmaFlamex Yeah I was wondering about that. How exactly did this 10-year old girl become empress of the entire maple world again? Also, a lot of people say she looks suspiciously similar to Rhinne, the Goddess of Time (as evidenced from people mistaking Rhinne for Cygnus when Akyrum was released). Interesing =/

@xEnigmaFlamex Well...I doubt the empress is allowed to leave Ereve, being that she could get attacked and all...and also the Pink Bean exists in a dream about the past so...yeah...

[FotherMuckerTIN]

@xEnigmaFlamex  if u r high level enough to finish the quest, u would know the outcome. it states that the 'future maps' are nothing but a dream. so yeah potentially cygnus is weak and she sleeps all day :)

[xEnigmaFlamex]

if this empress chick was so strong why the hell didnt she step down to fight Pink Bean when he attacked. Nexon you have a Flaw in your story line :)

[MrSecretny]

@xEnigmaFlamex pink bean and empress cygnus are in different times. i think in her time PB was banished long ago

[jokerhivefive]

@MrSecretny How can Pink Bean be banished?! If im not wrong, he's the Black Mage's underling. He's propably the "pet" that Nineheart was referring to when you talk to him while doing a quest as a Nobelesse.

[MrSecretny]

@jokerhivefive when you begin PB run, hes not in our dimension yet. black mage's servant summons him with mirror of godess. after you defeat PB, he goes back through black portal

[jokerhivefive]

@MrSecretny Hmm. But i read somewhere that he's the Underling of the Black Mage O.o

[minun003]

It woudn't be hard if everyone worked together (max ppl in expedition). JMS defeated Pink Bean 2 days after it was released. But the players in GMS are too busy disconnecting each other.

[zouwie133]

@minun003 Lol'd @ truth

[tommynong]

Roses are red, lemons are sour open your legs, and give me an hour

[CrayolaSquink]

@tommynong Something is wrong with you, You have autism, diseases, p3nis cancer, tumors or something..

[jessicxndrew]

did anyone beat her yet in GMS?

it would be cool if you got all the different cygnus knights to fight her o.o"

knight against knight :\

[Alvarna]

@jessicxndrew lawls, they could not even enter Future Henesys because the minimum requirement of Lv160

[TransformersPl0x]

@jessicxndrew She isn't out in GMS yet, and nobody's beat her in KMS legit either :/. Shes a tough cookie.

[bohanyao]

@TransformersPl0x JMS beat her tho!

[xUgleee]

@TransformersPl0x, Actually, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. She's been out in GMS for about 6 months. She has been beaten in KMS, and that was about a month and a half ago. In GMS, she's double as hard as she is in KMS, which is the reason GMS has never beaten her. That, and KMS has legendary potential, and Mercedes with 300k/400k ranges.

[0XShinraX0]

@xUgleee GMS has beaten her for awhile now...

[96thlegend]

@0XShinraX0 yeah true. but why doesnt Maple announce she has been defeated like when Horntail and Pink been get defeated?

[ShadowLucario78]

@0XShinraX0

Actually, no we haven't. Hackers obtained her gear and sold it everywhere. At the moment, we can't even beat Cygnus's Stage where she summons all 5 of the Knights at once.

[Jarekx2007]

@ShadowLucario78 umm nobody has beaten cygnus period. shes glitched. has been since she came out. in fact, gms could have beaten her almost immediately if not for this fact. aside from legendary potential, we are much stronger than kms is (which is why it took them forever to beat her and jms not so long)

the armor drops from the knights, the weapons drop from the empress. but you cant even get the weapons in the black market... explain? owait i did

[CrayolaSquink]

@Jarekx2007 You can't compare GMS to KMS by saying GMS is stronger, or you can be more specific.

[Theoroia]

@Jarekx2007 you mean that gms is more broken than kms?

[CrayolaSquink]

@Theoroia What do you mean by "broken"? There is probably more corruption in GMS then KMS though, ha.

[zrandomorg]

@CrayolaSquink In gaming culture, the term "broken" is often used when certain components are too strong i.e. "break" the game. In the case of Theoroia's comment, I'm pretty sure he is either referencing the broken mechanics with more glitches (specifically the Empress) or the abundance of hacked equipment and such present in GMS.

[xUgleee]

@TransformersPl0x Oh yeah, I forgot. In KMS, they also didn't have a 300k range Mercedes in their team, they just had a bunch of other pros.

[moonbunny122]

The black mage boss should be lvl 200 lol unstoppable =p

[maplestory352]

i hope there is black mage boss if there is it will be powerful than this i think

[RskidStrikerN]

chaos epress cygnus?

[vickyy518]

Hey you guys forgot about pink bean Isnt she hard????

[jokerhivefive]

@vickyy518 Pink Bean is hard...But Empress Cygnus is just ridiculous

[icedem0n326]

@jokerhivefive WTF empress Cygnus ridiculous???

[Reivaruku]

Sad but it was all Cygnus' fault, she went looking for the world tree and got controlled by Black Mage. She Has Met With A Terrible Fate, Hasn't She?

[CosmicLuma]

@Reivaruku I'd hate to say this but.. "She shouldn't have done that."

[mikesyun123]

@Reivaruku Was the last sentence from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask? :O

[ClericBlaze3]

@Reivaruku She WILL meet a terrible fate. This is in the future, remember?

[ShadowsOfVoid]

@ClericBlaze3 Nope. It's actually not the future. It's just a dream =P

[MizuCloud141]

@Reivaruku

She shouldn't have done that...

[mikesyun123]

@Reivaruku Overrated zelda reference. ^^

[yihanglee]

time to grind till lvl 200 X_X, then i can fight her, cause i'm a bishop T3T

[ColaAlchoholic]

You could tell that the reason this song is so sad is because the very people that were trying to stop the Black Mage are being controlled by him.

[MapleStoryResistance]

mute maple play this. epic.

[5o91]

Man those people turned old

[solopy567]

What's interesting is that Cygnus Knights can only go to lvl 120 and therefore cannot go to Future Henesys.

Spares them the pain of seeing their instructors and empress being evil.

[HeyItsChicken]

@solopy567 ikr:P

[Dornatum]

Such a nice song to hear when you get your ass handed to you by the Cygnus Queen.

[BenjiBenji2708]

@unforgettablepie: Pretty sure it's 2.1 bil o.o

[unforgettablepie]

This is by far the strongest boss in maple. At Level 190 with a whopping 1.2 Bil HP and various resistance to all elements of attack, killing her will take strategy. However, all the mobs summoned create so much chaos that we are distracted from using teamwork.

[BenjiBenji2708]

that's shinjou. is it not obvious? o.o

[ReverseAsians]

I Had this song on when i turned lvl 120 :P

[ShadowsOfVoid]

@maplestory352

Actually, due to her abilities, Cygnus is considered stronger than Chaos Horntail regardless of the fact that she has lower HP. Cygnus is still technically undefeated, since nobody who has defeated her has done it without being glitched while Chaos Horntail, I'm sure, has been defeated many times.

[ShienUchiha99]

@ShadowsOfVoid You forgot that Cygnus needs to summon her Knights that have about like 1 bil hp and summon other knights that have 500m hp or else she will heal when she is almost dead.

[CactuartheStupid]

For some reason, I can hear the knights calling, "hail to the Empress" in a monotone unison. Even if we can't see their eyes, I'd imagine countless orbs of emptiness. "Hail to the Empress," indeed.

[ShadowsOfVoid]

@CactuartheStupid

Is this inside the stronghold or at the boss?

Anyway, I'm still curious to hear what the Chief Knights' voices sound like. It says in the patch notes that voiceovers for them were added as well, but I never get to hear them because the party fighting the boss either dies too quickly for them to be summoned or tapes over the game sounds with some other music.

[AgentStolas]

0:21-1:02 saddest part imo...the violin D:

[JohnnysGoodDay]

Best bgm in ms.

[Ezprite]

the titis or mimis or whatever changed to angry birds

[maplestory352]

chaos horntail is still stronger than this Cygnus boss i think

[squia]

@maplestory352 You are completetly wrong due to horntail not having pot cool down.

OH and having Summons with 1 bil hp.

[hireshivisiontube]

@maplestory352 lol you mad bro. This is undeniable the strongest enemy ever created by Nexon. Even Horn Tail BEFORE it was nerfed was weaker than this. Not only does Cygnus have mad high HP, she also has tons of skills and summon really powerful mobs. Hello, she is the "Empress" afterall..

[maplestory352]

@hireshivisiontube i said (chaos) total hp is 9 billion i think for (chaos) horntail

[jokerhivefive]

@maplestory352 Empress Cygnus is harder then Chaos Horntail. Chaos Horntail have been defeated many times and even solo-ed (if im correct)

[PhantomzJerkSquad]

@maplestory352 Chaos horntail is not stronger than this boss are you on crack!?

[SkaterPinoy]

Since your fighting your very own ally, the music matches so well with the storyline. I'M GONNA CRY T~T

[Elspeon]

Dont you just hate it when you quit maple, ITS always the BGMs that drag you back into it T_T

[MrWestsider321]

The storyline is truly sad.. 

[Type03xx]

Is that so? so why cygnus have their lv. caps at 120 then... if this patch won't affect cygnus characters. hmmm that's pretty complicated.

[xxFlyaway52xx]

@Type03xx i think this is to compensate for their rate of growth which is maxed. idk my guess

[Type03xx]

Ah sorry, I want to ask you guys something.

What will happen to cygnus knight we created? Since this patch will be the downfall for them.

[squia]

@Type03xx No Its in the future hene and cygnus not in the time maple is right now you have to go through the door of future to get to to cygnus

[VentusUnbirth]

Everything in maple sounds like kingdom hearts.....

[Sheldenv12]

The beginning sound like Full Metal Alchemist with the violins.

Then it Becomes like Kingdom hearts music...

It's SO beautiful!

[TheBeastOfCOD6]

jesus. i am honestly speaking i cnt go 2 days without hearing this i recorded on my phone it is just a wonderful from of the violin and drums and possibly viola and defin piano <3

[Raymond122333]

is there any links available for the wallpaper?look nice

[Type03xx]

Sadness filled in this song, so beautiful, yet so... overwhelming with grief and tear.

You need to fight against your friends... for the greater good. What can be worse than this...

[siddique345]

@Type03xx Actully, Thats how Aran felt when he had to kill the Ice Knight, his friend.

[zKodla]

@Type03xx holy crap ur making me emo now TT_TT

[FGTheory]

@Type03xx not sure if serious

[squia]

Sad.

[squia]

What is the story behind cygnus becoming currupted?

[Brashgar]

@squia Cygnus and her Knights left the island to search for the World Tree. However, she fell into a trap, placed by the Black Mage himself. And thus the Black Mage planted the seed of darkness in her heart, along with the knights.

[SapphireSparksz]

maplestory~ what have you done to the beautiful cygnus T_T

[Lif34Real]

I know these knight's is up to somthing ever since the max level for being them is 120 and everyone else is 200

[TheBeastOfCOD6]

This song is the best. i cannot get enough of it....

[ShadowsOfVoid]

Now this is one epic piece of music. Already 1k+ play counts on my iTunes =P

[imdemonfreak1779]

2 people have been posessed by the black mage

[joelngenquan]

My ears orgasm when they hear this.

Gonna be hard to concentrate on killing her when this BGM gives me GOOOSEBUMPS =.=

[xxFlyaway52xx]

@joelngenquan not really in my opinion, all i heard in cygnus fight vids was attack sounds and a bunch of "ow" sound from the knights. i could barely hear the music but it would be nice to :)

[AgentStolas]

i used to think fighting the black mage would be a stereotypical epic battle to save the world, but you also learn that defeating an ultimate evil requires tragic loss, even if its killing the ones you love

[Xmaple3X]

wow this left deep impression on mplestory...i will defeat black mage feeling >:(
