Piano Overseer boss theme

[@lablimpet]

What a tragic character the piano kingdom is gone, burned to ashes by the brass legion. But still the overseer watches over the kingdom he was sworn to protect. Perhaps maestro putting him out of his misery would be nicest thing to do.

It's funny how Piano Overseer knows everything you've done on your journey and if he knows you've done the genocide route to destroy the Tuba kingdom he'll let you into his kingdom.

[@Moiksama]

If he let's you into his destroyed kingdom and you have the triangle of soul sight you can still see the kingdom the way it was before the war, if you also have Maestro's conjuring and perception skills to max level you can also interact with some of the visions, btw there's one of these vision who can sell you unique items but this all depends on which route you did last

The overseer is a firm believer of "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". I think he actually says this in the journal you find in his old home.

You guys are so creative. The piano dude sounds like he's an anti-hero instead of a bad guy. Maybe he'll join the heroes in the final battle against the big baddie instead of falling into chaos so that the people can finally have peace... Or he'll just sit there and die in the crumbled remains of his once beautiful kingdom. Sad fate...but perhaps a rewarding one.

The last line of defence for the piano kingdom the overseer has put their all in protecting their last but after seeing their loved one killed ( the melodica priestess ) they went into a frenzy destroying all that didn’t have the black and white notes of his kin , sometimes feeling a little weak when they see a small blow instrument , but they know that all must be eradicated for revenge not to become a thing illusionist type boss , has medium health on the lower side , light damage , fast moving speed , can be turned to your side if you are from the piano kingdom then he would be a debuff Ally who gives enemies the ]confusion[ debuff

[@deadsparksgamingchannel]

In my opinion this was by far the most emotional bossfight. Even though you destroyed the piano kingdom, he was still full of hope and tried to defeat you, although his attempts were useless. I almost cried at the part where he died and gave that long monologue about even though the kingdom is gone it will still live on through his children, who were watching the whole time.

ah, yes. pianos. ever since the desolation of their world in the en grande canyons, they've fled, scattered into many parts of the musical world. they might be few, but each and every one has a unique strength in either notes, tempo, pitch, or tone. but the overseer, he went insane after returning from the percussion mountains and seeing his homeland razed to the ground. it is optional to fight him. however, if you already visited the new piano settlement in the string plains, his wife and family are actually there, safe and sound. so you either tell him that they're alive (65% chance he'll believe you. if not, all of his stats will grow thrice than that of before) and he won't fight you or you don't tell him and you can get the item "percussive strings". an item that boosts both your string and percussion instruments in either agility and speed or strength and defense

After the brass kingdom destroys the piano kingdom, only one overseer is left. This is the Piano Overseer, second boss in Insane mode. (i saw this one second). Having 16450 hitpoints, this boss is a formidable foe. You do 25% less damage to him. It has many fast attacks and one quick-time event. When the boss reaches half health, the quick-time event begins. You have to jump over the keys it throws at you, and get to the boss. Click the arrows to avoid the attacks. Failing the quick-timed event will cause you to lose 25% of your health, no matter armor. If you complete the quick-timed event, and reach the Overseer, you can perform one more quick-time event and that consists of you attacking the boss rapidly, lasting for 7 seconds. Every 3 clicks = one attack, so the weapon you are using while you performed the one before this one, is what you use. The cap of damage you can do here is 4350, during the event.

The piano overseer watches over their land that was destroyed by the Tuba Warriors. They had been all alone for so long, and became worried that the way of the piano would end with him. But alas, the maestro came, seeking to learn such ways. The overseer was glad, but they first had to see if the maestro had the capability to survive and pass on the secrets of the pianos. And as such, the fight begins.

I offered alliance to fight the tubas to restore the balance of the four realms but no I see now that you yourself want to rule as leader of the entire orchestra you may achieve this goal but your empire shall collapse I stand here to defy you passage to those who remain after your slaughter you've already eliminated the tubas woodwinds and percussion why us... please this is your last chance turn back I won't hold anything back" the fight begins at this point he has at maximum in phase one 1000 health 200 stamina 69 defense and 420 intelectual points his attacks consist of a normal strike with his sword that's concealed under his piano exterior as well as a tuba gun and weapons from all kingdoms though the sword looks different to the rest seemingly a piano design his attacks get more difficult and use every weapon from the weapons of the tuba infantry to the tuba royal guard head {also to know the tuba infantry is the weakest and most common enemy while the royal guard head is a great boss you encounter before the tuba lord} here is the dialogue that occurs when he is defeated "heh I see you have done it but I'm not giving up yet remenats of not just the piano kingdom but all the four realms lie behind me I won't give up I shall protect all that remains we shall grow back after your defeat and slaughter spree" phase two begins I'll explain phase two in the replys if this blows up [note the piano overseer along with secret boss a new key are only fightable on the tubacide route with a new key secretly being the heir to the piano throne he is only accessible by killing the piano overseer and conquering the piano realm tho while the overseer fight is difficult a new key is the most secret and hardest boss only slay the overseer if you want to fight a new key]
