I like to imagine people see this and scroll into the comments, only to find that people are talking about some game that doesn’t exist that confuses the hell out of them
"With a heavy heart, I must say... This will be our last performance together. Hold your instruments close because this opera will not end until one of us can't play anymore."
“Every symphony could be your last. Please, give me your greatest performance and I will do the same. One of us will have to write a greater melody tomorrow.”
My favorite mechanic of the fight is how it can technically go on forever! After you beat him, the on looking crowd starts to shout, "Encore! Encore! Encore!" and if you don't find the way to silence them, he gets back up and the fight begins again.
“I do hope you enjoy the performance. It shall be that last thing you hear…” That line gave me chills first time playing. Probably the most menacing character in the game.
Fiendish Pact, not Fey. Pact Blade: Your violin belongs to a powerful demon. The rosin bow is deadly sharp. You did indeed sell your soul to the devil to learn how to play.
“My melody is as painful to my enemies as soothing to my allies, let the devs that be have a concert trying to balance my meta without angering the critics or my fans"
I could imagine him as the typical boss that its strangely easy to beat , but once you beat him , he gets up , takes his violin and says "Now lets get the show started",a whole ghost orchestra appears and then he turns intro a barely undefeatable boss
@@dootjager2596 don't know who your talking to but there is in fact a game being made for this and other similar instrument boss themed meme songs, forgot the name but just search around.
@@Jizukiru STOP RIGHT THERE! Everyone, clap the chosen one, for he has sacrificed himself for us. Praise be our savior! (Thunderous clapping in the background)
His final words: "My last symphony has finished, my violin has broken and the applause is over, it's time to lower the curtain... Dear friend, I hope you enjoyed the show."
Honestly his intro lines are the best part of the entire fight. "My foes! My enemies! It is with greatest pride and deepest pleasure, that I welcome you here tonight! So now I invite you to please, relax! Put the swords away! As I proudly present!... Your demise!" Chills every time.
_"How foolish of you to disturb me when i was enjoying myself. Now let me play the melody of your death in return"_ - *Some random villain who suddenly appeared behind you* -
Corruption spreads strings attach can you hear it? The melody of your death oh how wonderfully pleasant it plays. Truly a mesmoriesing performance. Now dance with me hero may this be your last performance. Encore!
ahh, nostalgia. i remember when i thought he was just gonna be a miniboss or sumn lol. i was not ready for the emotions to come. his death still makes me tear up a bit :,)
It's actually insane how you can just fight this guy right at the start of the game if you talk to and exhaust the rest of the old man's dialogue then chose the fencer option "The fencer? Hmm not much is really known about them but I don't quite like him. He's too... Verbose." "Oh I much prefer the term grandiloquent myself." Best surprise boss intro of all time
I know like 2 other people will see this, but this whole tuba as helmet inspired me to make a whole Dnd campaign consisting of 4 kingdoms, percussion, winds, brass, and strings, utilizing magical instruments that mimic the old modern technology from centuries past (as in the campaign's world timeline). Dumb looking armor that give great boosts and instruments of mass destruction on par to the nuclear bomb. I seriously owe a lot to the dumb memes and songs for inspiring the dumbest but the most expansive and interesting dnd campaign I've ever thought up of.
Sounds like a great idea. I also came up with a dnd campaign off of something random, but it wasn’t a meme, it was actually a modded terraria boss from the end of the Homeward Journey mod. At the end (SPOILER WARNING), you fight a god, and they’re powerful. I just sat down, went a minute into a playthrough of the video, stopped, and then thought “What if I made a dnd campaign around factions that was based around this god”. I’m now a good way into boss designing, already created the bosses as actual characters with character sheets, have begun setting out music for each, and already have a good 1/4th of the plot written, with speeches from bosses, minibosses, NPCs and some other stuff included. I haven’t even finished the Homeward Journey mod yet.
I know you posted this a year ago but I thought I'd share. All the comments actually inspired a whole ass friend to antagonist for my party, a changeling bard, who wears a mask. Once an orphan, who desired true companionship. All his hopes and dreams broken. So he's committed himself to a life of being no one and everyone at the same time, changing faces and masks as he desires. Always coming up with a new character or role to try to make a new life for himself. Maybe even tricks the party into giving him what he wants, all the while being pretending to be their friend, or someone the party knows. Might even travel with the party a few times as different people. At some point he might even teach the bard of the party his secret song. One that makes him appear anytime it's played. Maybe he even starts to feel something, but all friendships, all relationships are temporary. Not even death is permanent. His true dream, a grand play. One of true tragedy and betrayal. The grand reveal, a final climax where he reveals his one true face and his true intentions, on the ruins of a once grand theater, with the a small troupe of the party's now dead friends, wearing masks and being puppeteered as undead behind masks, which fall as the party kills them to their horror. Meanwhile, Spirit Callers make up his grand ghostly orchestra. A play where it's all about the final standoff, where he is the maestro and the leading role, narrator, and composer. And upon his death, he rises again, as the ghost callers play the familiar tune the bard remembers, as he was in fact a lich the entire time. His phylactery being the tune he's taught to many all over the world, so that he may never truly die, and continue to work his chaos and lies forever more. A grand performance all to please his patron, Cyric, the god of lies, and quite possibly, is Cyric himself.
The smoke coming out of his fingers makes me imagine he uses that to attack, it’s form and shape changes as he plays. Slashing and steering at you as he skillfully dodges your blows while busting out some sick tunes.
My favorite bossfight. The lead up builds so much suspense as his melody gets more erratic before you come into the courtyard where he stands. Then his first phase with the water elementals as he adjusts his melody to reflect how well your faring. And the second phase where you actually fight him is just chefs kiss.
He is a top-tier boss with the most interesting boss fight (not the best), excellent dialogue, and the very best boss soundtrack in the game he is definitely in my top favorite bosses in the game
A campaign I'm currently in for DnD 5e used this track for our ex-Mayor turned corrupt violin vigilante after his wife and child were lost in a demon attack. The raw emotion within this song definitely helped purvey the desperation Drev (the npc's in question) to cling onto life and avenge his kin. Truly great
You finally made it through to the doors leading to the auditorium of this dilapidated opera house, when as you're standing in front of the old wooden doors, a somber violin chord sounds from the other side. This must be it. The Stringed Assassin. Death's Violinist. The Devil's Musician. And so many other monikers that those of Orchestria whisper in fear of this hitherto unseen threat, only his crimes are known. You open the doors, and standing upon the stage is a figure in classical finery, if not with an almost militaristic look to them sawing on a violin. The figure has a white mask that obscured their face as a wispy, black smoke trails off the ends of their fingers and beneath their mask, and their violin appears to be smoldering as if it was set on fire not long ago, yet is still operational, if the haunting melody being played is to go by. The old wooden doors slam shut behind you and a booming noise echoes in the auditorium that was once filled with music, stopped from the sudden intrusion. The figure turns to you, facing you and you feel yourself being appraised or... judged. "Ah. You must be the Maestro," it intones, a seemingly male voice rasps out. Stangely, it doesn't even sound muffled by the mask, but it has a very airy sound to it. "And what do I call you?" you respond back to it, a hand resting on the baton at your waist. The figure chuckles, a sinister and troubling sound. "Devil. Bastard. Traitor. Musician. Call me what you wish, it matters not to me. What I do care for... is you." "Me? Why?" "What's there not to mention! Your successful struggles against the Brass Kingdom, toppling over the greatest military might on the continent with barely any assistance, the countless bodies laying cold behind you... Truly, your reputation precedes you, Maestro." You scoff. "Please, not this again. Another scoundrel who thinks they know the sacrifices and hardships I went through and the lives I saved, the people made happier now that I've done my work." It chuckles again and draws a long, slow note on the blackened violin in its hands before ending with a flourish. "Oh, no, I wouldn't do something so pointless. How useless it is to tarry and mope over decisions long past. Truly, I think your work is a masterpiece." "Then why provoke me? You knew that I couldn't just let you get away with what you're doing, right? That's what this is: a chance to come face to face with me." Beyond chuckling, it laughs heartily this time, stomping its feet in the closest it can get to clapping while having its hands full. "HAHA! I knew you wouldn't disappoint! Fantastic, just fantastic!" it shouts out before stilling suddenly. "Yes, you would be correct. I did mean to lure you here." "Do you actually think you can beat me?" "Oh, I'm sure I can try. Many have tried before me, with perhaps even more gusto and have fallen flat." "And you think you're different?" The black smoke streaming from its body seems to roil thicker at the comment, what was now a wispy and mist-like haze now is a variable fog of darkness. The figure puts the bow to the stings of the violin and draws a chilling high note as a trail of the fog drifts from the instrument. "I'm a bit more than... different." The figure then goes lower on the violin and begins the starting chords of a powerful song. You ready your baton, pointing it at the violinist. "Maestro... I'm your encore."
I would LOVE to make this into a comic. It just gives me some chills reading it, and it is so well crafted. Makes me think the violinist is a tall, mysterious/threating man across from a slightly above average sized woman. ( just my interpretation of character there for the reader, sorry. ) You are an inspiration in many ways with this story, I just can't put it into words right now. I'm too in love with it.
@@tylerpoppele4558 There are meme pictures of what could be called "Bosses of Real-Life": a tarantula with a wizard cap on near a stick that looks like a wizard staff, a man wearing a cone of his head holding a stop sign, a guy wearing a tuba on his head and holding other brass instruments as weapons, etc. Naturally, people starting composing boss themes for these adversaries.
Honestly a dark souls like game where its entirely based on musical rythem sounds amazing. On New Game+ all the boss themes and minor enemy themes get remixed while still staying familiar to catch players who lackadaisically go into the fights.
Arguably the best character in the game. I love his comment on when you have the violin equipped in his fight. I think it was something like "Oh? A fellow musician I suppose? Well then, let us see who has truley mastered this beautiful instrument. En garde!" if I'm not mistaken.
He's just playing and lazily fighting you and after he hits a certain hp point he drops his instrument, the music cuts out and he starts to take it seriously
@@giveluminacat10nobles21 Nah, this guy is clearly a caster. Its when he stops using his bow as a sword and starts playing that you gotta dodge-spam for 30 mins straight.
"Life and music are intertwined. Both are beautiful, both can be powerful and changing. Yet I can control both as an orchestra of power and a nocturne of magic and darkness. Let me show you how I shall end your symphony." -The Violin Fencer, right before your first boss encounter with him.
I'll be honest, when I first heard this, I wasn't super impressed, but... it kept getting randomly stuck in my head. So I kept coming back to listen to it, and now it's one of my favorites!
I was moreso thinking a boss that is so good, you save a separate file right before the boss fight so you can come back to it whenever you want. If you choose a Violin class, then this battle basically acts as a "Dante Vs Vergil" type fight for you, you're both getting hits in, and both of you are enjoying the thrill of this fight, but only one violinist can come out on top. ...Until you reload your save to do it all again.
See I was thinking the opposite, like not the final boss, but rather a secondary villain who somewhat cares for the protagonist, like Malicos from Jedi Fallen Order, and he could occasionally help them in their quest, or be seen in the background of certain gameplay sections, similar to Hornet in Hollow Knight or the G-Man in Half-Life He would be regretful about having to fight you, but wouldn’t hold back regardless. I can’t tell whether he would fight for a crowd, or alone in a large chamber, but his over the top style seems to give off Alastor vibes from Hazbin Hotel. He could have a sword that could double as a bow for his violin, whether it be built in to an edge of his blade, or it be double edged like Darth Mauls lightsaber, but I could see him fighting with both his bow and violin for flair Idk man that’s just kind of what I’m getting from him
i deadass thought this was a game because someone on the comment said "between the character design, his lore and his battle theme, the Corrupted Violinist was my favorite character in the entire game" i've been trying to look it up for hours now and i just found out it was just a meme....i hate myself... Edit: and i know that their developing a game, it just hasn't been released yet. Edit 2: The name of the game is "Orchestra: The Brass Fate"
"Ladies! Gentlemen! And those who are both and neither! Welcome to my grand performance! I do hope you enjoy the full concert! Most of my guests barely get past the opening sonata! Allow me to begin with a classic. Aria of Spilled Life!"
A sword master using his sword aura in tune with music after years of mastery. The violin of twisted fate echoing the cries of hope. This is a foe that is beyond you. Roll for initiative.
He stood upon the dusty marbled floor, the collapsed roof giving way for the bright moonlight, striking the figure's mask, glinting the golden embroideries and linings of his armor, complimenting his white gloves and black torso, he breaks off from his trance, seemingly fully engrossed in his art, the pulling and pushing of his bow, resembling that of a fencer's sword, he would stop entirely, looking up at you, he cocks his head to the side, amused, he stepped forward, continuing his piece, malice seeping from the smile adorning his mask, shifting his body in what can be described as robotic, you pull away your cloak from the scabbard, resting your hand upon the black hilt of your longsword, vengeance for House Bumor is now.
I made a lil poem, if you want to read go ahead. Eyes like a well that has been dried Everyday for months i cried You were the brother i never had You were my shoulder, arm and hand I wish i knew before the change That brought along the darkest age Regret consumes me from inside For leaving you to save my hide Hiding behind a golden mask But i returned to finish the task So trust me now im back again To save you from yourself and pain From this crazy world and bitter throne Let me show you how much ive grown Give me a chance to say im sorry Meet me there lets end this story From the book of love and fury Written with tears by yours truly (Leave a rating and tell me if theres anything i can improve on, would appreciate it)
He does AOE attacks often, so you have to hide behind the pillars of his great Hall, and as he goes down the hall, the copies of his sword do piercing attacks that do True Damage, Brass armor is completely negated, since in his past, he fought is the great orchestra war against the King Tuba II, his only weakness are the very pillars you use for protection, having to cut the wires in them, at 50% HP, he starts to send high notes beams that are tricky to evade and do 50% of your hp damage, you can reflect it, but the Boss teleports before he is touched by his own attack
"Man and music have been in tandem since the first bonfire but rhythm and melody have been around since the first waves crashed on primeval shores. Where do you think the world learned this?" "I am the one fiend symphony. Enjoy my concert." Paired with the ominous silence during the interaction and the world slowly getting more and more corrupted with every press, chills when I read that text. What an atmosphere this game has.
I loved the scene were he and his orchestra army played while heading into battle each new part added as more and more soldier's feet hit the ground. Truly grand.
Sorry im late to the party but from what I gathered : you should pick the second option to not betray him during the brass kingdom area, he will try to kill you later game anyway. If you do betray him I would pick the piano class, of which he takes 40% more damage against piano users. he is corrupt so try not to use flute or shamisen or any other purity instrument during the fight (you can It would just take longer)
@@holysol Don't take it so seriously, its not biggie for them to be vague with their wording. P.S. If you want to know information from someone, you better start by asking politely and sincerely.
Title: "You wanted this". Me: "Did I really?" *clicks on the video because the picture looked cool* Video: Me: "Yeah I did. Now I'm hooked to the instrument kingdom meme story. Thx."
I love the indicator for the most replayed part being a straight ascent, meaning people are immediately putting it back to the beginning as soon as it ends!
I've been looking for steampunk inspired music and I found this. Indeed the title is what stuck out to me the most. I may use this in my dnd game as the unofficial theme for it.
And as the Fencer kneels, his violin broken on the ground, the great concert hall echoes with his sad laughter. « Thanks for this grand finale! Never have I been so happy to see the curtains fall!» His hands start shattering, and he looks at them as his laugh fades « What a finale... and yet nothing. Not even one applause... Isn’t it ironic? » You turn around and rise your hands before clapping. The sound resonates through the room and the Fencer raises his head to you as he continues to slowly dissolve into a black smoke that whistles a sad melody. He looks at you, and though the eyes of his mask are empty, a shiny tear drops from the emptiness of his gaze. And as he finally fades, he whispers softly: « Thank you, for this last performance. » The smoke starts swirling as its whistle grows more and more intense. It gathers in a spiral of strings, that flies to the broken violin and rises it in the air, as the sad melody becomes stronger and stronger. The melody fades, as the violin descends into your hands, reforged and vibrating with a sad tone. Through the now opened doors, the Tuba King's castle wails its sad and twisted symphony on the horizon. You open you eyes as your hand grips the instrument. Now, it’s time for your own finale.
Some things can only exist in text. This scene animated or even narrated could never bring the beauty and essence that a well written piece of text like this can.
"This stage is beneath my talent, but I shall elevate it" "I will bring them an opera of death" "Sing for me!" "My talent justifies all actions" "Dance for me" "I... orchestrate death" "I live for the applause, you will die for it" "Start the music. I will make them dance" "My critics are... usually short-lived" "They will dance, they will sing, they will die!" "I offer an exclusive service. You'll find I murder the competition" when fighting a bard: "You should learn the power of silence" "You lack imagination" "Your work will be forgotten. I am ahead of my time"
“The musical of death, what they called it… fitting seeing as he played it before every battle in the hopes of falling in battle to join his comrades…”
@@nappingturtle6990 Yeah, its from chapter five of their book "A string away from death" Nah, it aint from nowhere, I just made it up. I create quotes in my free time
I just played in a dnd session where our DM made a boss battle specifically inspired by finding this song. The enemy was some twisted Fae entity who was killing performers at an Opera House because he wanted to be the only performer. We fought on the stage of the opera house and the battle music for this battle was this song put on a loop. He was a level 17 Bard who summoned marionettes to debuff us while he continued playing his song, and he had layer actions to change the tune of his song and apply a debuff to all of us
@@justafriendlycrusader6550 I could, but it would be pretty difficult to actually get. My DM doesn't plan a lot, so the only planned thing was just the premise of fighting the creature and this song being the music and that's it. The actual mechanics of the battle were completely improvised on the spot literally when the battle started and he might not remember what they were exactly lol
Someone please make this into a real game. Seeing all these backstories and lore for this character that's literally just a single (well-drawn) image with incredible well-composed music is truly amazing. It makes me so sad that there isn't an actual game put together with this and I YEARN for it so bad
He does spins around his Great, dimly lighten dusty and grey hall that once vibrated with gold, silk and life, but is now corrupt, cold and forgotten, it once resembled the great piece of the orchestra world, but now, all that remains are memories and the violinist, that plays once more, but instead of bringing life and happiness, it brings death and sorrow, all that hears his music, are destined to die, the only way of breaking such curse, is defeating him, there is no escape, othen than either fighting, or dying trying
So what I've been collecting: He hates having his recitals getting interrupted. He stays in the middle of a forest, practicing his song day and night. His strenght comes from the deathly howls of the fallen. He's a lone fighter, and rumors of warriors meeting their demise under his hand has spread all over town. Every single note he plays has his raw emotion engraved onto it. What a savages boss
@@colony8286 There isn't a game. The internet creates stories and world building out of art pieces with medieval music slapped onto them. But no actual game where they originate. It was just a funny guy dressed in instruments that turned into this epic story that nobody has experienced
@@samuelevans738 after the battle you could see an empty corpse, without any signs of life The master was seeing this with disappointment since inside he thought that this person could give him the work he was looking for so much in his life. A masterpiece. A requiem from the heart The master: uh I thought that maybe, just maybe we would have been a great duo... but in the end you just hear a solo resonating for centuries and for centuries
The Corrupted Violin Fencer was honestly the worst and trickiest mid boss to fight compared to the Tuba boss army when you reach the Brass Kingdom territory. His second phase AOE attack form, Orchestrated Maestro, is near impossible to evade let alone endure. And don’t even get me started on his final form, The Sterling Seraph which figuring out how to deal with permanently raised my blood pressure from the overall complications of that fight. Beware anyone who reaches that point.
As you stare into the eyes of a once cheerful man, now broken down by a dark mist that follows him. Only a truly skilled and worthy musician can rival this man and survive to tell how he compliments your work. However the unfortunate ones fall to his notes of harmonic despair as each note filled with compassion slowly rotting into hatred sadness and the fear of being stuck in a jail he was forced into unwillingly for all eternity just to play the song of a man who truly is jack of all aces when it comes to music and yet he repeats the same words upon meeting a stranger , " Are you skilled yet worthy enough to free me?" The words are said in a almost defeated tone but with a small glimmer of hope he will one day be freed from his cell and make works of art so beautiful that even a baby understands its meaning. Myth goes around he is still looking for the one who will be his salvation but to no avail he keeps searching.
I can’t help but feel like that this should be some super-emotional fight against a better-than-average party member that’s been with you for most of the game.
@@poptart-gj9ih He's a boss in those, but he also appeared as an NPC in The Legend of Orchestra and he's a playable character in Tuba Heroes. He had cameos in a couple other games too. He is actually one of the characters that appears the most in the Tuba Series.
"I swear each performance is the last, but I lie every time. In truth I can't live without the euphoria of preforming. That delightful moment when the curtain goes up."
[Scene 1] - After finally defeating Overlord Tuba in his Throne Room, he gives you a slight chuckle. Before completely bleeding out, he gives you an ominous warning. ------------------ Overlord Tuba: “You’ve done well...I wasn’t expecting you to play a variety of instruments at once. I will admit that your skill is something to be reckoned with. However...the only reason I tried to conquer the entirety of The Land of Instruments was so that I could...so that I...could...” You, the Player: “So that you could what? Thrive off each individual instrumental nations riches? To use them in an attempt to further your own agenda? Well think again, I will NOT let you have you way!” Overlord Tuba: “No...! You fool....I needed....a catalyst...” You, the Player: “What? What nonsense are you spouting, you tyrannical beast?” Overlord Tuba, beginning to lose consciousness: “ We of the Tuba required a catalyst...one of gigantic proportions....so that we could....” You, the Player: “So that you could what? Out with it already!” Overlord Tuba: “So that we could seal him...” ------------------ [Scene 2] - As Overlord Tuba quietly passes, you noticed the sound of insurmountable fear within his voice. Suddenly, you hear concrete walls shifting, as you notice that contraptions have moved Overlord Tuba’s throne to the side, revealing a hidden passage. You tread down this passage out of curiosity, following a staircase leading only straight down. Once you reach the end of said staircase, you find yourself in what seems to be a room. A wide one, seemingly resembling a black void, with candles lighting the middle of the room. As you step towards the candles, the contraption seals your entrance shut, and you hear what you can narrow down to be a Violin. ------------------ You, the Player: “No...no that can’t be. The instrumental empire of Violins was wiped out years ago! Their Emperor resorted to the Dark Arts, committing a nation-wide genocide. There shouldn’t be any Violinists left...” Mysterious Voice: “So....you finally killed that old buffoon? Good on you. Though, what I’m about to do to you won’t be as good. Matter of fact, I don’t think you’ll like it. Actually, no. No, you won’t like it one bit.” You, the Player: “What? Who are you! Show yourself at once!” Mysterious Voice: “Who am I? Wait how long has it been? I’m sure the tale of my mass genocide was only a few years back, no? *sigh* Since this room will be your tomb, it would be rude not to introduce myself... ------------------ [Scene 3] - After hearing those words, the room suddenly glows with an eerie shade of purple, and you notice a silhouette standing in the middle of the room. Again, you hear the sound of a Violin, but now, the tune is seemingly distorted. As you attempt to approach the silhouette, you hear the voice once more. Mysterious Voice: “ I am the beginning, as well as the end. All instruments are inferior to the Violin, however....the Violin itself becomes a boring instrument after hearing the same tune for so many eons. Let me show you what adding a little twist of the Dark Arts can do to spice things up!” |\ [ The Twisted Song ] Secret Encounter - Mad Emperor Lucifero! /|
"Ah, so you've chosen. You're no mongrel percussionist; any troll can beat a drum or tinkle a triangle. Dullards love the brass, but they are a cacophonous din to us. And the woodwinds: all they blow is hot air. But here, here we strike our glory, pluck our victory, and bow the rest to us...but I suppose I shall show you firsthand. You may not like it, but never forget, you wanted this."
“Come friend and foe, it's time to start the show, As the curtains rise, there shall be a prize. Within the shadows, where secrets entwine, Whispers of chaos, a symphony malign. Through deceit's dance, our fate we shall bind, Each note a dagger, in the dark, we'll find. For the stage is set, and illusions we weave, In the theater of darkness, where none can perceive. Enemies tremble, allies deceive, As the final crescendo, our triumph shall achieve. So, heed the call, embrace the eerie glee, In this macabre ballad, where doom finds its key. Now arise, for it is time for the last melody, so that you may remember me.”
Just saying, this is one of the most well written boss fights in the Chronicles series, honestly. The small but noticeable violin strings connecting him to the audience is a masterpiece (pun intended) but i was struggling for a bit wondering why he kept disabling my abilities, if your fighting him, i suggest using the pan flute for a summoner multiclass build, but as a flute it counts as a purity instrument so be careful of his debuffs, just don't pick any aggressive ones, or the violin, that rival buff he gets is downright a ruiner to hardcore 100% runs, and quick reminder, only attack if he's down with his hand off the violin, so you don't get faked outwhile he's still at 60%, the last thing you want is to have the bleed debuff right as he enters his second phase because you got too confident
This randomly showed up in my home page at the perfect time and helped me over a writing hump. I’m helping a friend build a universe for an RPG she’s running with an existential horror theme, and this INSPIRED me. I did indeed want this.
Dude, I know this is kinda strange cuz we dont even know each other, but i would really love to hear what have you two created. Actually i'm writing a rpg too, trying to do my best at the horror theme. Just think we could trade some inspiration. (also, sorry about my english)

I'm writing something similar, inspired by DnD but not completely following its rules. Currently got the entirety of the main story planned out but still gotta work on side quests and stuff and I want those to feel as polished as possible with their own likeable characters so music like this really helps.
"He had a name once, long ago. Doesn't matter what it was anymore; his enemy left him to burn away, the only one who could really rival his musical prowess. Time forget about him as the flames lapped at him, ripping pieces of him away into the void. The show, however, went on; the Violinist arose from the flames, his heart beating and his strumming arm ready to play. It's said that for uncountable years, he's roamed the world, looking for the one who stole the ultimate prize from him, the one who would hear his final song, one he's been preparing to play for centuries." "You may call me crazy, but I saw that well dressed burned man with my own two eyes. He stood alone, in a quiet field, strumming away as if the world couldn't hear him. Practicing that same song he's been practicing for all these years."
can u extend more on the ultimate prize experienced game dev and i wanna make a fan game for like 2023 i am using all these coments and tying pieaces toether ur backstory is full of mysteroes and i love it but i wanna know a bi more about that
I'd just like to let you know, that along with the music itself, this comment started a couple hours of theory crafting with my BF to make a Warlock Subclass for D&D called "The Stringmaster." I've added the comment into the background for the Patron, which is the creator of the Warlocks. Thank you for inspiring some much needed creativity in me!
I cannot tell how much this character inspires me. I decided to make him one of the main characters of my campaign. Always here. Always sowing Chaos. Why ? Who knows. Does he even know ? One thing's for sure : he is POWERFUL. May it be in raw magical powers, or in information / scheming, humans rarely even notice him, Gods fear him. What the hell is under that mask ? Can't wait to let my players discover him !!

I know like 2 other people will see this, but this whole tuba as helmet inspired me to make a whole Dnd campaign consisting of 4 kingdoms, percussion, winds, brass, and strings, utilizing magical instruments that mimic the old modern technology from centuries past (as in the campaign's world timeline). Dumb looking armor that give great boosts and instruments of mass destruction on par to the nuclear bomb. I seriously owe a lot to the dumb memes and songs for inspiring the dumbest but the most expansive and interesting dnd campaign I've ever thought up of.
I don't even play dnd but that sounds sick af
That's awesome 👌
official, way more then two other people have seen this. that campaign sounds sick, and i dont even play dnd
Sounds like a great idea. I also came up with a dnd campaign off of something random, but it wasn’t a meme, it was actually a modded terraria boss from the end of the Homeward Journey mod. At the end (SPOILER WARNING), you fight a god, and they’re powerful. I just sat down, went a minute into a playthrough of the video, stopped, and then thought “What if I made a dnd campaign around factions that was based around this god”. I’m now a good way into boss designing, already created the bosses as actual characters with character sheets, have begun setting out music for each, and already have a good 1/4th of the plot written, with speeches from bosses, minibosses, NPCs and some other stuff included. I haven’t even finished the Homeward Journey mod yet.
I know you posted this a year ago but I thought I'd share. All the comments actually inspired a whole ass friend to antagonist for my party, a changeling bard, who wears a mask. Once an orphan, who desired true companionship. All his hopes and dreams broken. So he's committed himself to a life of being no one and everyone at the same time, changing faces and masks as he desires. Always coming up with a new character or role to try to make a new life for himself. Maybe even tricks the party into giving him what he wants, all the while being pretending to be their friend, or someone the party knows. Might even travel with the party a few times as different people. At some point he might even teach the bard of the party his secret song. One that makes him appear anytime it's played. Maybe he even starts to feel something, but all friendships, all relationships are temporary. Not even death is permanent. His true dream, a grand play. One of true tragedy and betrayal. The grand reveal, a final climax where he reveals his one true face and his true intentions, on the ruins of a once grand theater, with the a small troupe of the party's now dead friends, wearing masks and being puppeteered as undead behind masks, which fall as the party kills them to their horror. Meanwhile, Spirit Callers make up his grand ghostly orchestra. A play where it's all about the final standoff, where he is the maestro and the leading role, narrator, and composer. And upon his death, he rises again, as the ghost callers play the familiar tune the bard remembers, as he was in fact a lich the entire time. His phylactery being the tune he's taught to many all over the world, so that he may never truly die, and continue to work his chaos and lies forever more. A grand performance all to please his patron, Cyric, the god of lies, and quite possibly, is Cyric himself.

Thank you i will in fact imagine it
Reminds me of myself in monster hunter but I’m the one kicking ass and it’s a horn instead
Yeah I hate how his ranged attacks and doll summons speed up randomly and whenever the beat drops he becomes invincible
The smoke coming out of his fingers makes me imagine he uses that to attack, it’s form and shape changes as he plays. Slashing and steering at you as he skillfully dodges your blows while busting out some sick tunes.
Bard life.
My favorite bossfight. The lead up builds so much suspense as his melody gets more erratic before you come into the courtyard where he stands. Then his first phase with the water elementals as he adjusts his melody to reflect how well your faring. And the second phase where you actually fight him is just chefs kiss.
Exactly that's why this is an s tier boss I absolutely loved this fight my first time playing it will never be the same
Dance water dance

He is a top-tier boss with the most interesting boss fight (not the best), excellent dialogue, and the very best boss soundtrack in the game he is definitely in my top favorite bosses in the game

With the pangs of soprano and the scars of Bass, with the follow up of instruments, violins, suddenly death appears, as a man, himself…//
Opera
Jhin?
Smile, everyone is watching !
"For my final piece, I shall string a bloody melody before you cease."
You finally made it through to the doors leading to the auditorium of this dilapidated opera house, when as you're standing in front of the old wooden doors, a somber violin chord sounds from the other side. This must be it.
The Stringed Assassin.
Death's Violinist.
The Devil's Musician.
And so many other monikers that those of Orchestria whisper in fear of this hitherto unseen threat, only his crimes are known. You open the doors, and standing upon the stage is a figure in classical finery, if not with an almost militaristic look to them sawing on a violin. The figure has a white mask that obscured their face as a wispy, black smoke trails off the ends of their fingers and beneath their mask, and their violin appears to be smoldering as if it was set on fire not long ago, yet is still operational, if the haunting melody being played is to go by.
The old wooden doors slam shut behind you and a booming noise echoes in the auditorium that was once filled with music, stopped from the sudden intrusion. The figure turns to you, facing you and you feel yourself being appraised or... judged.
"Ah. You must be the Maestro," it intones, a seemingly male voice rasps out. Stangely, it doesn't even sound muffled by the mask, but it has a very airy sound to it.
"And what do I call you?" you respond back to it, a hand resting on the baton at your waist.
The figure chuckles, a sinister and troubling sound. "Devil. Bastard. Traitor. Musician. Call me what you wish, it matters not to me. What I do care for... is you."
"Me? Why?"
"What's there not to mention! Your successful struggles against the Brass Kingdom, toppling over the greatest military might on the continent with barely any assistance, the countless bodies laying cold behind you... Truly, your reputation precedes you, Maestro."
You scoff. "Please, not this again. Another scoundrel who thinks they know the sacrifices and hardships I went through and the lives I saved, the people made happier now that I've done my work."
It chuckles again and draws a long, slow note on the blackened violin in its hands before ending with a flourish. "Oh, no, I wouldn't do something so pointless. How useless it is to tarry and mope over decisions long past. Truly, I think your work is a masterpiece."
"Then why provoke me? You knew that I couldn't just let you get away with what you're doing, right? That's what this is: a chance to come face to face with me."
Beyond chuckling, it laughs heartily this time, stomping its feet in the closest it can get to clapping while having its hands full. "HAHA! I knew you wouldn't disappoint! Fantastic, just fantastic!" it shouts out before stilling suddenly. "Yes, you would be correct. I did mean to lure you here."
"Do you actually think you can beat me?"
"Oh, I'm sure I can try. Many have tried before me, with perhaps even more gusto and have fallen flat."
"And you think you're different?"
The black smoke streaming from its body seems to roil thicker at the comment, what was now a wispy and mist-like haze now is a variable fog of darkness. The figure puts the bow to the stings of the violin and draws a chilling high note as a trail of the fog drifts from the instrument. "I'm a bit more than... different."
The figure then goes lower on the violin and begins the starting chords of a powerful song. You ready your baton, pointing it at the violinist.
"Maestro... I'm your encore."
Holy smokes! This is glorious!
I would LOVE to make this into a comic. It just gives me some chills reading it, and it is so well crafted.
Makes me think the violinist is a tall, mysterious/threating man across from a slightly above average sized woman. ( just my interpretation of character there for the reader, sorry. )

I imagine this would be a hidden and really difficult Boss, that one boss that abuses every single mechanic in the game to make your life hell.
That one boss that needs mastery of all game mechanics but is a really fun fight and good loot droper
Basically, Sans?
This is the kind of boss who yeets you through the entire map even if you do the perfect roll in dark souls
I was moreso thinking a boss that is so good, you save a separate file right before the boss fight so you can come back to it whenever you want.
If you choose a Violin class, then this battle basically acts as a "Dante Vs Vergil" type fight for you, you're both getting hits in, and both of you are enjoying the thrill of this fight, but only one violinist can come out on top.
...Until you reload your save to do it all again.
See I was thinking the opposite, like not the final boss, but rather a secondary villain who somewhat cares for the protagonist, like Malicos from Jedi Fallen Order, and he could occasionally help them in their quest, or be seen in the background of certain gameplay sections, similar to Hornet in Hollow Knight or the G-Man in Half-Life
He would be regretful about having to fight you, but wouldn’t hold back regardless. I can’t tell whether he would fight for a crowd, or alone in a large chamber, but his over the top style seems to give off Alastor vibes from Hazbin Hotel. He could have a sword that could double as a bow for his violin, whether it be built in to an edge of his blade, or it be double edged like Darth Mauls lightsaber, but I could see him fighting with both his bow and violin for flair
Idk man that’s just kind of what I’m getting from him

@Daniel Wong Y E S
He does AOE attacks often, so you have to hide behind the pillars of his great Hall, and as he goes down the hall, the copies of his sword do piercing attacks that do True Damage,
Brass armor is completely negated, since in his past, he fought is the great orchestra war against the King Tuba II, his only weakness are the very pillars you use for protection, having to cut the wires in them, at 50% HP, he starts to send high notes beams that are tricky to evade and do 50% of your hp damage, you can reflect it, but the Boss teleports before he is touched by his own attack

« What a finale... and yet nothing. Not even one applause... Isn’t it ironic? »
You turn around and rise your hands before clapping. The sound resonates through the room and the Fencer raises his head to you as he continues to slowly dissolve into a black smoke that whistles a sad melody. He looks at you, and though the eyes of his mask are empty, a shiny tear drops from the emptiness of his gaze.
And as he finally fades, he whispers softly:
« Thank you, for this last performance. »
The smoke starts swirling as its whistle grows more and more intense. It gathers in a spiral of strings, that flies to the broken violin and rises it in the air, as the sad melody becomes stronger and stronger. The melody fades, as the violin descends into your hands, reforged and vibrating with a sad tone. Through the now opened doors, the Tuba King's castle wails its sad and twisted symphony on the horizon. You open you eyes as your hand grips the instrument. Now, it’s time for your own finale.
That is beautiful 🎻🎻 bravo 🎼
Some things can only exist in text. This scene animated or even narrated could never bring the beauty and essence that a well written piece of text like this can.

I imagine he never stops playing in the midst of a battle, so he mainly does deadly barrage kicks and uses his music as a conduit to cast magic
That would be too OP, tho. But I'm glad the developer didn't nerf him
"None who've heard The Grim Reaper's Melody lived to tell the tale."

"I will bring them an opera of death"
"Sing for me!"
"My talent justifies all actions"

"Start the music. I will make them dance"
"My critics are... usually short-lived"

Jhin quotes, nice
i wasn't the onlyone who thought about jhin
@@catalinsava9667 nope, there's quite a lot more jhin quotes in the other comments lol
Ohhh "They will dance, they will sing, they will die!" reminds me of Kindred ("They laugh. And scream! And dance. And flee!")
Sorry im using cosmic jhin xD
yoo imagine his final words
"A melody to die for, yet I deserve no applause."
"May the heavens sing you praises, and a Gentle song of rest old friend"
“My violin is broken, and with it, my body. May I see you in the Grand Symphony carried by the wind… My dear friend, is that you..?”
I'm using this for my D&D villain now thanks
You won't need an encore.....
"What is that melody!"
“The musical of death, what they called it… fitting seeing as he played it before every battle in the hopes of falling in battle to join his comrades…”
Just saw this on my recommendation after a year or 2 and i say i couldn't focus on the fight while this music was playing
"Alas, I may be corrupt, but my music is as pure as ever"
Is this a quote from somewhere? Because I love this.
@@nappingturtle6990 Yeah, its from chapter five of their book "A string away from death"
Nah, it aint from nowhere, I just made it up. I create quotes in my free time
This song sounds very much like one of the songs on your turn to die
@@Mr_Wolfkin damn, could i get some to steal- i mean, borrow for my DnD campaing?
“Stop old friend the abyss has you!”
I just played in a dnd session where our DM made a boss battle specifically inspired by finding this song. The enemy was some twisted Fae entity who was killing performers at an Opera House because he wanted to be the only performer. We fought on the stage of the opera house and the battle music for this battle was this song put on a loop. He was a level 17 Bard who summoned marionettes to debuff us while he continued playing his song, and he had layer actions to change the tune of his song and apply a debuff to all of us
that is awesome, can you ask him if i can borrow it?
@@justafriendlycrusader6550 I could, but it would be pretty difficult to actually get. My DM doesn't plan a lot, so the only planned thing was just the premise of fighting the creature and this song being the music and that's it. The actual mechanics of the battle were completely improvised on the spot literally when the battle started and he might not remember what they were exactly lol
dang
tell him i said it was cool
@@justafriendlycrusader6550 I certainly will, especially since your video was the inspiration for the battle
"I live for the applause, you'll die for it"
Someone please make this into a real game. Seeing all these backstories and lore for this character that's literally just a single (well-drawn) image with incredible well-composed music is truly amazing. It makes me so sad that there isn't an actual game put together with this and I YEARN for it so bad
What if you got someone to animate this for you.
I never thought of that and now I want to do it
Yay :)
I won't ruin 69th like but you sure deserve it
He does spins around his Great, dimly lighten dusty and grey hall that once vibrated with gold, silk and life, but is now corrupt, cold and forgotten, it once resembled the great piece of the orchestra world, but now, all that remains are memories and the violinist, that plays once more, but instead of bringing life and happiness, it brings death and sorrow, all that hears his music, are destined to die, the only way of breaking such curse, is defeating him, there is no escape, othen than either fighting, or dying trying
gimme a few years and I'll do it XD
So what I've been collecting:
He hates having his recitals getting interrupted.
He stays in the middle of a forest, practicing his song day and night.
His strenght comes from the deathly howls of the fallen.
He's a lone fighter, and rumors of warriors meeting their demise under his hand has spread all over town.
Every single note he plays has his raw emotion engraved onto it.
What a savages boss
what game or show is he from?
@@colony8286 There isn't a game. The internet creates stories and world building out of art pieces with medieval music slapped onto them. But no actual game where they originate.
It was just a funny guy dressed in instruments that turned into this epic story that nobody has experienced
would he be willing to play a duet?
@@samuelevans738
after the battle you could see an empty corpse, without any signs of life
The master was seeing this with disappointment since inside he thought that this person could give him the work he was looking for so much in his life. A masterpiece. A requiem from the heart
The master: uh I thought that maybe, just maybe we would have been a great duo... but in the end you just hear a solo resonating for centuries and for centuries
@@nazza8372 😔😔
The Corrupted Violin Fencer was honestly the worst and trickiest mid boss to fight compared to the Tuba boss army when you reach the Brass Kingdom territory. His second phase AOE attack form, Orchestrated Maestro, is near impossible to evade let alone endure. And don’t even get me started on his final form, The Sterling Seraph which figuring out how to deal with permanently raised my blood pressure from the overall complications of that fight. Beware anyone who reaches that point.
As you stare into the eyes of a once cheerful man, now broken down by a dark mist that follows him. Only a truly skilled and worthy musician can rival this man and survive to tell how he compliments your work. However the unfortunate ones fall to his notes of harmonic despair as each note filled with compassion slowly rotting into hatred sadness and the fear of being stuck in a jail he was forced into unwillingly for all eternity just to play the song of a man who truly is jack of all aces when it comes to music and yet he repeats the same words upon meeting a stranger ,
" Are you skilled yet worthy enough to free me?"
The words are said in a almost defeated tone but with a small glimmer of hope he will one day be freed from his cell and make works of art so beautiful that even a baby understands its meaning. Myth goes around he is still looking for the one who will be his salvation but to no avail he keeps searching.
“You wanted this”
Me, who has never seen this guy: yeah

Someone please tell me what this is from
@@chankatime6861 The tuba game meme where each boss battle is a tuba themed villain and every other instrument is a toss up

The corrupted violinist basically the op badass side character the casually helps the mc till he gets strong enough to entertain him

so basically hisoka

Hisoka but better
This video has been floating around on my recommended page for months, maybe years, and NOW I'm listening to it, great music
I've been stuck at this boss for like 2 hours
I can’t help but feel like that this should be some super-emotional fight against a better-than-average party member that’s been with you for most of the game.
Like dark souls when you murder solaire. Rest in peace buddy.
Praise the sun

This guy should be a playable character just because of his design.
Not a playable character the maestro that you play.
Or
Your armor in the endgame
He should be a hidden boss, you can find once each chapter and by beating him each time you can assemble his armor in the final chapter.
Basically warframe in a nutshell.
Like dlc
Has a darksouls vibe, it’s like you’ve just slain a lord of cinder
This came out a whole 2 yrs ago and its still fire
And this is the first time im coming across this
"This man has been pulling the strings from the darkness all along."
"The masked violinist."
I love how his attacks are in perfect sinc with the music, and his character model is actually playing the violin during the fight, such a cool boss.
From what game are they from?
@@filmzindustries the kingdom of orchestia tubarius II and the tuba kingdom
@@poptart-gj9ih He's a boss in those, but he also appeared as an NPC in The Legend of Orchestra and he's a playable character in Tuba Heroes. He had cameos in a couple other games too.

VITAAAAAA
[Scene 1] - After finally defeating Overlord Tuba in his Throne Room, he gives you a slight chuckle. Before completely bleeding out, he gives you an ominous warning.
------------------
Overlord Tuba: “You’ve done well...I wasn’t expecting you to play a variety of instruments at once. I will admit that your skill is something to be reckoned with. However...the only reason I tried to conquer the entirety of The Land of Instruments was so that I could...so that I...could...”
You, the Player: “So that you could what? Thrive off each individual instrumental nations riches? To use them in an attempt to further your own agenda? Well think again, I will NOT let you have you way!”
Overlord Tuba: “No...! You fool....I needed....a catalyst...”
You, the Player: “What? What nonsense are you spouting, you tyrannical beast?”
Overlord Tuba, beginning to lose consciousness: “ We of the Tuba required a catalyst...one of gigantic proportions....so that we could....”
You, the Player: “So that you could what? Out with it already!”
Overlord Tuba: “So that we could seal him...”
------------------
[Scene 2] - As Overlord Tuba quietly passes, you noticed the sound of insurmountable fear within his voice. Suddenly, you hear concrete walls shifting, as you notice that contraptions have moved Overlord Tuba’s throne to the side, revealing a hidden passage. You tread down this passage out of curiosity, following a staircase leading only straight down. Once you reach the end of said staircase, you find yourself in what seems to be a room. A wide one, seemingly resembling a black void, with candles lighting the middle of the room. As you step towards the candles, the contraption seals your entrance shut, and you hear what you can narrow down to be a Violin.
------------------
You, the Player: “No...no that can’t be. The instrumental empire of Violins was wiped out years ago! Their Emperor resorted to the Dark Arts, committing a nation-wide genocide. There shouldn’t be any Violinists left...”
Mysterious Voice: “So....you finally killed that old buffoon? Good on you. Though, what I’m about to do to you won’t be as good. Matter of fact, I don’t think you’ll like it. Actually, no. No, you won’t like it one bit.”
You, the Player: “What? Who are you! Show yourself at once!”
Mysterious Voice: “Who am I? Wait how long has it been? I’m sure the tale of my mass genocide was only a few years back, no? *sigh* Since this room will be your tomb, it would be rude not to introduce myself...
------------------
[Scene 3] - After hearing those words, the room suddenly glows with an eerie shade of purple, and you notice a silhouette standing in the middle of the room. Again, you hear the sound of a Violin, but now, the tune is seemingly distorted. As you attempt to approach the silhouette, you hear the voice once more.
Mysterious Voice: “ I am the beginning, as well as the end. All instruments are inferior to the Violin, however....the Violin itself becomes a boring instrument after hearing the same tune for so many eons. Let me show you what adding a little twist of the Dark Arts can do to spice things up!”

"Ah, so you've chosen. You're no mongrel percussionist; any troll can beat a drum or tinkle a triangle. Dullards love the brass, but they are a cacophonous din to us. And the woodwinds: all they blow is hot air. But here, here we strike our glory, pluck our victory, and bow the rest to us...but I suppose I shall show you firsthand. You may not like it, but never forget, you wanted this."

Yo that tie in with the title was fucking golden. Good fucking job my guy.
me in ng+ with a grappler's triangle :
yes I did now give me the confine keys so I can get the middle eastern tuning already
don't forget the pianists, too aloof to sound the strings themselves, the corruption of a string
As a percussionist I take great offense at this. You have just insulted my entire people...
but yes.
Best game I have ever played if I had the choice I would only play this game and this guy is my favorite character
what is the game?
Not my very favorite, but he's on my top 3
"i shall forever play for you my friend until the world turns gray"

Nice!
because you clicked it instantly?
Because you played Boss Music.
because you wanted this
*[The Bard has had enough with the team's bullshit]*
Run
>Fight
Say sorry
A whole team fighting a bard is unfair, the whole team is gonna lose
Personally I just had an idea make a neutral evil bard and have them use a violin and when ever you get in a fight turn this on
@uwau bards are scary when you open their full potential
If you guys lose against Bard 1v5. u guys are inting. ff 15
All the Bard has to do is cast Mass Charm and watch the world burn.
“Come friend and foe, it's time to start the show,
As the curtains rise, there shall be a prize.
Within the shadows, where secrets entwine,
Whispers of chaos, a symphony malign.
Through deceit's dance, our fate we shall bind,
Each note a dagger, in the dark, we'll find.
For the stage is set, and illusions we weave,
In the theater of darkness, where none can perceive.
Enemies tremble, allies deceive,
As the final crescendo, our triumph shall achieve.
So, heed the call, embrace the eerie glee,
In this macabre ballad, where doom finds its key.
Now arise, for it is time for the last melody, so that you may remember me.”
Just saying, this is one of the most well written boss fights in the Chronicles series, honestly. The small but noticeable violin strings connecting him to the audience is a masterpiece (pun intended) but i was struggling for a bit wondering why he kept disabling my abilities, if your fighting him, i suggest using the pan flute for a summoner multiclass build, but as a flute it counts as a purity instrument so be careful of his debuffs, just don't pick any aggressive ones, or the violin, that rival buff he gets is downright a ruiner to hardcore 100% runs, and quick reminder, only attack if he's down with his hand off the violin, so you don't get faked outwhile he's still at 60%, the last thing you want is to have the bleed debuff right as he enters his second phase because you got too confident
This randomly showed up in my home page at the perfect time and helped me over a writing hump. I’m helping a friend build a universe for an RPG she’s running with an existential horror theme, and this INSPIRED me.
I did indeed want this.
Dude, I know this is kinda strange cuz we dont even know each other, but i would really love to hear what have you two created. Actually i'm writing a rpg too, trying to do my best at the horror theme. Just think we could trade some inspiration. (also, sorry about my english)

@@clutterbot7279 oh, thx dude, you're so nice :)
If you want I can kinda tell you some things I've wrote (I'm not actually a good writer so is not that much of a thing). Also, idk how you foreigns do to talk each other (were I'm from we usually do WhatsApp but i know it isn't everywhere)
I'm writing something similar, inspired by DnD but not completely following its rules. Currently got the entirety of the main story planned out but still gotta work on side quests and stuff and I want those to feel as polished as possible with their own likeable characters so music like this really helps.
"He had a name once, long ago. Doesn't matter what it was anymore; his enemy left him to burn away, the only one who could really rival his musical prowess. Time forget about him as the flames lapped at him, ripping pieces of him away into the void. The show, however, went on; the Violinist arose from the flames, his heart beating and his strumming arm ready to play. It's said that for uncountable years, he's roamed the world, looking for the one who stole the ultimate prize from him, the one who would hear his final song, one he's been preparing to play for centuries."
"You may call me crazy, but I saw that well dressed burned man with my own two eyes. He stood alone, in a quiet field, strumming away as if the world couldn't hear him. Practicing that same song he's been practicing for all these years."
can u extend more on the ultimate prize experienced game dev and i wanna make a fan game for like 2023 i am using all these coments and tying pieaces toether ur backstory is full of mysteroes and i love it but i wanna know a bi more about that
I'd just like to let you know, that along with the music itself, this comment started a couple hours of theory crafting with my BF to make a Warlock Subclass for D&D called "The Stringmaster."

I cannot tell how much this character inspires me.
