Guild Wars 2

Done a bit of searching and I haven’t found anything that answers this question yet. In short, how do I find out the name of a song playing in game? I’ve tried searching for a couple I like based on the location they play in, and that works for some songs, but the names of others elude me. Any help would be appreciated.

I found it!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGNnOyGMXeE Searched for Ascalonian Soundtracks and it came right up It’s called A Land Restored. Thanks for all the help guys, I love this song.

You can listen to the Guild Wars sound tracks on YouTube (many tracks are used in GW2). Or the Guild Wars 2-exclusive sound tracks on Guild Wars 2/ArenaNet’s Soundcloud page.

Good luck.

I did find this, but it’s 150ish songs to look through. I just don’t have the time to do that and was hoping for an easier way.

So…let them play in the background whilst doing something else? You only have to look when you hear something you recognize.

Or…listen to the first few measures, and skip if it’s not what you are looking for?

There isn’t an easier way, however certain tracks only play in certain zones, so that will allow you to narrow it a little.

Many songs are fixed to their location, so you can just type the place. The more specific, the better. Do you happen to remember where you were when you heard the desired music?

I’ve done the latter and was unsuccessful which is why I’m asking. I will do the former someday but I get easily distracted easily while listening to music so I can’t really do that for a while (work is busy both at work and at home, ha). I was hoping there was an easy way to check in game what the music was or a way to look up music by location or something.

Yeah I’ve done this, still haven’t tracked down the tracks I’m looking for

I heard them in Diessa Plateau for sure and I think Blazeridge Steppes and Iron Marches. It’s a softer song with harp and a choir, it sounds very LotR.

My first guess would be the Ashford Abbey theme which plays in a lot of ascalonian areas

Originally a GW1 track, carried over to GW2

Tried that for the OP. All the tracks I tried were not recognised

That is unfortunately not it. It has a bit of a sadder tone to it. Thanks for trying though!

Shoot, I got really excited for a second. I’ll see if TrackID works. Thanks for the tip!

Ah nevermind, you found it. Although coincedentally, it is the same as the link I just posted

Thanks Randulf! Plains of Ashford SoundTrack 03 was the one I was looking for specifically but I love all of the Plains of Ashford songs. Funny that I couldn’t find it until now.

I understand. There’s a couple of amazing shiverpeaks ones I like, but I always forget their names when I come to find them and they aren’t always listed under Shiverpeaks tracks.
