[Arknights] "The Witch King" | ZT-10 Final Boss

[@valerianmp]

05:04 "Huh, where is everyone?"

[@庫倫亞利克]

The one musician late for the concert only to find out that the whole orchestra has been massacred, the conductor and all.

[@DegenerationHex]

I absolutely adore that while everyone in Leithanien uses instruments as arts units, the Witch King essentially uses a conductor’s baton as a weapon.

[@broadbandislife]

Well more like the Magic Hitler Simp Club is hot on that (presumably in keeping with their idol's supervillain motifs), saner Leiths are rather less monomaniacal.

[@TChunky]

​@@broadbandislifeplease translate what does this mean???

[@broadbandislife]

@@TChunky That OP is looking at a too limited sample of Leithaniens.

[@darrenong9064]

@@TChunky from what im gathering they mean the spire casters and their peers who wanted to resurrect the Witch King use batons or adjacent items, while everyone else is more directly instrumental unless I misinterpreted, honestly the first message slightly broke my brain reading the first time but it makes more sense when you re-read it a few times

[@TChunky]

@@darrenong9064 ah gotcha thank you

[@rmg4284]

I really love how the boss affects the music in his phase 2 theme! Here's what he does the music from what I observed: Yellow Note (Variant): Adds Opera Singers/Choir band, dubstep beats, and amplifies the theme Blue Note (Imperial): Amplifies the piano and adds an old record filter

[@faezor3326]

Rather than a radio... i wonder if its meant to simulate a record player?

[@rmg4284]

@@faezor3326 Yeah it sounds more like an old record player

[@WTFUrNotJLo]

I'm thinking something closer to a gramophone, but that's just me 😅

[@steyraug772]

adding the music theory in the boss' second phase is so outstanding especially the tempos ive never seen such beautiful bossfight that uses music arts into full action like that in a game mechanic HG you make me proud with such creativity

[@EmiyaIsHere]

His phase 2 boss theme has that similar Calm/Combat feeling of Ultrakill, when the bar is purple the music sounds calmer but once the bar changes to orange that's where the dubstep comes in

[@HappyLovesNymph]

And when its neither of them it goes neutral

[@Takkkkkkkkkk]

The music changing during phase 2 is so fing cool. Its like "So long, Adele" Day/Night Menu song but for fighting

[@WTFUrNotJLo]

Or like Lingering Echoes 😉

[@blitzrohan]

@@WTFUrNotJLo why did i fucking read that as fingering echoes

[@Ronin_Black]

Difficulty: Music is power I knew the witch king was going to be the boss but seems its annoying

[@Sssssss553]

I mean he solo entire armys so of cours he will be Hard to deal with

[@denden6316]

The framerates.. damn this event has particle heavy stages

[@the_delusional_dreamer]

5:00 bro is late for the party

[@kevinwong3811]

Its funny if you stun the enemy it will cause huge damage to them because they can't keep up with the performance

[@picernikandermuhamad636]

I love how u handpick the voice pack 👌

[@partyrocky]

icb they added CHOIR DUBSTEP. FUCKING CATHOLIC EDM INTO THIS. HYPERGRYHP YOU HAVE COOKED

[@narius_jaden215]

... Holy fucking shit this is a cool boss fight xD.

[@luisf.delcanto3167]

oh my god it's the b*tch king of lasagna

[@ArgentoNatsu]

what the DIP is going on with the bgm ????? this is FIRE

[@broadbandislife]

Manz got drip, that's for sure

[@Zack_Zander]

2:27 What just happened?

[@foxrouge1234]

Seems like the boss teleports ops,but I could be wrong because it might be the play style of the event.

[@Zack_Zander]

@@foxrouge1234 It’s an interesting mechanism, but if it is random, its better to retreat the operator after they teleport since it may mess the placements up. Personally, it’s just seems like a lighter insta-kill but with extra steps.

[@daxondelly2141]

@@foxrouge1234yea boss does it every time a certain percent of health is lost, makes surtr get tortured a bit

[@iceicevanilla0407]

Luckily Eben not turning into the witch king. 😌

[@mitsuba2169]

FR FR, IM GONNA CRY IF THAT HAPPEN 😭

[@broadbandislife]

@@mitsuba2169 P sure it was bit of a plot point he was never actually subjected to the mad-science procedure (on account of the authorities raiding the place) that made Kreide a workable host for the WK "reincarnation" or smth...

[@stef2337]

Like father like son, both kill themselfs time to time

[@codedip7924]

so texas alter + yato alter >>> witch king

[@HungNguyen-bj4xr]

they duo almost everything

[@xynester]

Not even the witch king stood a chance against this duo

[@broadbandislife]

_That's how the Mafia works._

[@ShiguReii]

>using italian texas dub. Based.

[@MuhammadFadhilNaufal]

Yes HG, upgrade people.. upgrade

[@ainuruyaqeen1977]

idk why, but compared to Kreide-pseudo WK boss battle, this feels lack and empty

[@okboi5723]

Kreide never fucked by texas and yato duo upon release lmao

[@obsiangravel]

Texas and Kirito didn't existed when we fought Kreide.

[@copesupply]

Nowadays HG started making story mode boss toned down for novice players to clear too. I'm pretty sure they're going to make us fight the boss on steroids on ex stages, especially the cm mode.😅

[@Vadikus2424]

​@@copesupply y'all still saying this in 2023 lmao

[@fohhhthefoxxx]

​@@Vadikus2424well, we have Originium Dust rerun ahead of us, boss in THAT event is definition of pain in the ass even with meta Or pain in your arms because of Saga

[@kyarumomochi5146]

OH DARN

[@kevinwong3811]

The ost won't be post perfectly since it involve with game mechanics

[@EKTOS]

This going to be problematic for afk and easiest boss for heledrops

[@sorashizen5130]

Why do afk when it's a one time stage

[@EKTOS]

@@sorashizen5130 there's a niche call afknights thats why

[@makista6402]

Italian blue woman gone to far.

[@HappyLovesNymph]

Best boss fight ever

[@TheRokakakaFruit]

I NEVER understood this boss. I always get Mission Failed unexpectedly.

[@creaturetransylvania8943]

You have 5 minutes to defeat him,the timer resets when you beat him once.

[@TheRokakakaFruit]

@@creaturetransylvania8943 Ohhhhh okay! Thanks!

[@rottenfanger]

So he is the real witch king or witch king wanna-be?

[@srajo7211]

Real witch king, he want to open portal to kill god

[@zackyzero3234]

I thought the witch king is killed by the twin empress??🤔

[@broadbandislife]

@@zackyzero3234 "I think there's a Magik in the X-Men too?" "Isn't she dead?" "Like that matters. The X-Men come back more than Jesus." - _Nextwave_ Fuck knows what's up with that guy anyway given by all accounts he _really_ pushed the envelope of what you can do with Arts and "reincarnating" him in even a very distant blood relative is an actual prospect, as poor Kreide could attest. I understand the Empresses and their loyalists are dedicating a nontrivial amount of energy and resources to keeping that kind of supervillain nonsense in check.

[@okboi5723]

​@@broadbandislifewitch king is not even want to be resurrected lmao the voice of terra is just byproduct of his massive power,when twin empress kill him long ago his soul goes to another place basically better place for him as he can do his research without anyone disturb him

[@broadbandislife]

@@okboi5723 What _he_ might want seems to be terribly irrelevant in the context ya know. The various folks trying to bring him back don't appear to be particularly beholden to his opinion on the matter whatever it now may be. And I daresay the people they screw over in horrible ways trying to make it happen would find that a rather cold comfort indeed.

[@cefrinaldi8060]

It seems like an annoying boss. Probably the ex stage would be worse.

[@abrahamwijaya6631]

Jesus only two op's is enough?

[@PAX-East]

It's Yato Alt and Texas Alt, the most broken two ops in the game. All mechanics become irrelevant when they are only on the stage for 5 seconds or less at a time.

[@farellaksmann8659]

The fight wouldn't be good without yhe changing boss theme. Like, it makes me hyped asf

[@hawuyosafat9047]

my phone is going to explode trying to run this event

[@blitzrohan]

wait for Originium dust rerun

[@theguywhichismessingaround]

​@@blitzrohanYeah, it's a Very budget phone friendly event :)
