"Mirage of the Oasis" flips the mood completely, all shimmering and hazy. Then "Simurgh's Dream" comes in with these vocal layers that honestly stopped me mid-quest. The soundtrack splits hard between sacred and hostile.
Tracks like "Sorush's Purity" and "Resonance of Khvarena" carry this devotional weight, while "Ghastly Badlands" and "Abominable Bog" go full dread. That contrast keeps the whole thing from blurring together. Still thinking about how "Dawnlight Over Dunes" sounds at golden hour in-game.
If you need a reason to finally explore the desert zones, this score is it.
