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.

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodb2688]

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

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.

[@DavidJoshua-zc8df]

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.

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.

Both in life and death, they are the closest of allys, and no demonic curse will breake his loyalty.

You tense, throwing a few attacks of your own. The only thing you can think of is your fallen friend as they dodge and swivel around your attacks as if it was nothing. Yet the moment one grazed their shoulder, you heard a deep snarl-but it wasn’t from the entity. They winced as if in pain before regaining their composure. “You truly are a burden, [Player]. Not even strong enough to save your dear friend,” the Violin Fencer hissed. Your grip tightened. The dance seemed to stretch on for days, weeks. Yet the Violin Fencer never stopped, always regaining their composure when you landed a hit. But as the fight went on, you suddenly saw something... strange. Their attack patterns, their snarky remarks... “Why!?” The Violinist snarled as you landed a powerful attack. “Why can’t you just _die!?”_ A succession of chords like you’d never seen. There was no way you could dodge them all. Collapsing, your weapon clattered to your ground as the Violin Fencer towered above you. Their hand descended to deal the final strike, the final chord-and they reeled backwards. Barely able to life your head, you saw the bow levitating and the freed hand clawing at the smiling mask. Muffled cries of pain that seemed so familiar-and then you saw their face. “[Player]!” Screamed the face of your friend, drenched in sweat and flashing in and out of the shadowy Violin Fencer. You could do nothing but stare as reality crashed down upon you. Their eyes were wide and frantic, edged with dark red-black that closed in by the moment-corruption. “Please! You must end this! End it _now!_ I can’t hold it off for much long-“ They snapped back in as fast as they had emerged, and the Violin Fencer stared down at you with those empty black eyes. Of course. The Violin Monarch’s champion-their most favoured warrior. It was _them._ But why? Why _THEM?_ The Violin Fencer Tilted their head to the side for a moment before looking down at you. “Ah, it seems our little dance must have a small intermission,” they grinned. You could hear it now. You could hear your friend’s distorted voice inside of that... monstrosity. They bowed gracefully as they backed away. “We shall meet again, dear [Player].” In a snap of darkness and a violent chord, they were gone. You did not get up. Your friend-your best friend that had been with you since you were laughed at, mocked for this dream-was corrupted and twisted into this... nearly invincible monstrosity of a Violin Fencer. They were feared. They were infused with the darkness called corruption. Your dearest friend was Fallen. And there, on the floor of the dungeon, you broke.

[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! /|

Name: Corrupted Violin Fencer HP: 126,200,000 Defense: 5 100% HP Phase 1 - Preface: He deals light symphonic damage while buffing minions around him. Rather easy though still a bit of a hassle with the minions easily being able to overwhelm you if you do not handle them correctly. He moves around and helps as many minions as he an. 75% HP Phase 2 - Section A: He starts to deal waves of damage and stops summoning minions as he destroys cover and charges using his bow. His speed increases dramatically. His waves of sound will do minor damage though will eat away at defense very quickly. His charge attacks are the highest part of his damage and do 50-60 damage per hit. Minions will try to hit you a few at a time though will steer clear when he is about to charge. 50% HP Phase 3 - Cadenza: Minions will slow you as he starts to charge more rapidly now dealing 70-80 damage per strike. The charges will have less of a charge time. After a charge unless you are not directly before him he will use his bow to quickly stab and stun you. His sound attacks will be less frequent and do less defense drain. Minions who are caught in his charge will redirect him and die. 25% HP Phase 4 - Coda: He will receive less damage though his dodging will become slower. His charges will start to lead into one another. He can charge three times at most. He will still use his sound attacks though they will do close to nothing. He will start to buff others around him instead and as he loses health he will ready himself for the finale. Finale: 165 damage guarantee. He will play the final chord and will send ten waves at you. Each will follow for about two seconds before going in the way they were going. Encore: If you are at 65% HP or higher he will begin the encore. Where he is the only one on the stage and will send streams of thin bow hairs at you while he heals 25% of his health. Each hair pierces defense and starts eating away at it. He will fire 5-8 of them in quick succession and stop only when he is at one health. You will then have the option to take his violin and gain the artifact if you still have 50% of your health left and if not he will ask you to take his mask as a trophy and vanity item. Either will kill him and set his soul free from the corruption the artifact holds. @BreadMaker gave me the idea for a backstory (use if you like) The God of Magic loved to keep all his power to himself and only share a glimpse of it with the realm of mortals. Whenever the mortals saw it they thought of it as miracles and something that should forever be cherished. One day a mortal came to the gods in search of a way to help his dying village. They scoffed at him and pushed him away. He could not take this for an answer and he was furious. He went back to his village and made a great sacrifice. All three of his children were slaughtered so he could coat himself in the scent of death. He walked along the many trails to the monument of the gods and he found the bridge to where the gods slept for centuries. He walked past the gates and he easily slipped into the home of the gods. The scent of death and hate was a scent that the gods hated and tried to ignore as it was the scent of the God of Death. The God of Death would take their creations away and let them live in the etheral planes. All the gods paid no attention to the man as he walked through the halls. He soon found the holding place of all of the magic in the world. He knew he must kill himself to bring magic to his village. He pulled a portion of the magic and put it inside of himself. He could feel energy bristle through his veins and with the many abilities he was given he quickly traveled down to the village. The village where that he could save. He went to the center and his soul was ripped apart and let magic roam the earth. It found its way into many beings and gods that were visiting the world at the time. He fell to the ground with his body, soul, and mind the only thing anchoring the magic to this world. When the God of Magic awoke he roared in hate and horrible pain. His once precious magic that held the world in his palm was now the plaything of millions upon millions. To punish the mortals he set upon the world a corruption of magic. A place where all magic would wildly destroy the landscape and rip the soul apart. Somewhere where all magic was random. The Wild was the name given to this land of hate and horrors. Many people were caught in the middle of it when it started and it turned them into horrible beings. The very place where magic was released was where it was corrupted. The Violin Fencer, one such resident, was hurt more than others. His mask allowed the once blind and deaf man to see and hear. He was able to play the violin masterfully and so the corruption turned what he loved against him. His friends who had left tried to help him, but he was already over the edge in madness. It consumed him and held him to his death. His violin and bow now grafted to his skin. His mask that brought him joy now only brought suffering and misery. He was no longer the man he once was, he was the Violin Fencer.

I can imagine this as a DnD Character. "A Strange man, wearing a sinister mask appears before you. A Golden embellishment depicting an eagle wearing a crown with an embedded red gem adorns the center of his forehead, under it a pure white mask with slits for his eyes and mouth, the ends tapering up into the bottom of his eyes. You cannot see deeper into it, and the mask wraps around his entire head. He wears a regal outfit, a black and blue suit with army regalia of a noble. Wearing white gloves, he reaches for a sword in the scabbard at his side, drawing a blade that looks dull, but as he draws it futher out you see that the blade quickly turns into a violin's bow. He reaches behind his back and bows, staring directly at you. From behind him, he appears to grab a violin, burned and charred, but still in one piece, red blood stains on the chassis. You notice the tips of his gloves over the strings are torn, but rather than his fingers you see black smoke. He pulls the instrument up to his chin and draws a long, sullen note, which causes him to become enveloped in this same inky blackness, lifting himself up into the air, and all you feel is an overwhelming sense of dread as he begins to float towards you."
