Use in Guild Wars 2[edit]
Living World Season 4[edit]
"Blish's Sorrow" plays during the Seized story step from the Long Live the Lich release. The track begins as Gorrik, Taimi and the Pact Commander reboot Blish, who had been mistaken for materials and left shut down in a crate at the Amnoon docks during Gorrik's trial. Blish wakes up screaming from the nothingness he had experienced while shut down and expresses to the others how that had felt. It also plays during the last step of the Descent story step, on the airship after you speak to Caithe about Aurene growing up.
The first half of the track plays on pensive piano in minor key and in slow tempo as Blish wakes up in horror and readjusts himself to the physical world, and picks up pace with strings and an underlying backing with a faster rhythmic movement.
"Blish's Determination" plays before the Forearmed Is Forewarned story step. It begins playing as you meet up with Taimi and Blish outside the Tomb of Primeval Kings while Blish sets up a portal and continues until you enter the Forearmed is Foreward instance. It also plays in the Storm Tracking story as you deliver the news to everyone in Sun's Refuge after Blish's Sacrifice.
"Blish's Sacrifice" plays during the Storm Tracking story step. It begins after Blish's line "It's not up to you." and plays as you escape the Mists on your raptor. The track briefly pauses as Blish comes face to face with Kralkatorrik and reinstates a few seconds later, after his communicator cuts off and the Pact Commander calls out to him with no response.
