Unused song captured straight from PS5 unpatched disc version with Music at 10, only boosted slightly in post-editing. Cut from OST. I found the spot where it looped but allowed two loops to occur.
UPDATE: After encountering it during the game and some pointers from comments, we realized this is actually in current patch! It's the track that plays when an overworld boss (possibly only in Limgrave) sees you and is investigating before being aggroed. Obviously it has no name since it's not released, so I'll take a page from MGS and call it "Caution (Limgrave)" :) I'll check if it's in 1.00 in the same scenario soon.
