King Tuba II

***"His Eminence, the Eternal Guardian of the Realm, Demon of Brass, Incandescent Slayer of Beasts, King Tuba II stands before you. Reality blurs as he points his sword at you in a deafening challenge of clashing metal. He speaks with the voice of a thousand hurricanes funneled through intricate spirals of brass. 'Have you come to face your finale?'"***

### ***Lore***

Little is known either about the origin of the King, or of who he really is. All that is surely known is that he was a major part in fighting The lost mechanical tuba during The Mechanical Tuba Incident. What can be learned, however, is that he was considered a tyrannical ruler. Tuba the II had many names, such as, for example: The Traitorous King, The Ruler of Brass and Blood, Maestro of the Massacre... There are proofs of his rule being tyrannical throughout the game. For example, the rebellion, that by the time, when the Player encounters the King is in it's full swing. Another good proof is the sign of the corruption that was spreading all around the Kingdom. Throughout the game you can encounter different bosses or mobs, that are affected by the corruption. Some of them, were presumably "Blessed" by the King himself. Player encounters him in his own castle, that is besieged by the rebellion forces. While fighting him, the castle will even be set on fire, and the arena will be seriously damaged. In the end of the fight, the true, corrupted nature of the King is completely revealed in it's terrifying appearance.

### ***Normal Form***

***“Terror? You know nothing of terror, boy. Before the empire, Orchestria was plagued with endless war, endless suffering. Through unification, I brought peace. Peace to all of Orchestria.”***

The usual-boss form of the King, He will kill anyone who dares to step in his land. In this form King Tuba the II wields his mighty Divine Sword as well as The Divine Scepter of Holy Orchestria, making him a dangerous enemy, that can easily kill the Player both in melee fight and by using his divine brass magic. King's divine armor protects him from ***any*** dark magic relied abillities or dark magic weapon buffs. Another thing worth mentioning is his abillity to summon trumpetneers, that are able to construct healing devices for him. Yet another way of healing himself and draining the Player's health is the ***Divine Shockwave***, that will drain a certain amount of the Player's health.

### ***Corrupted form***

***”THIS POWER FLOWS THROUGH MY BODY! I AM ONE WITH THE BRASS, NOTHING WILL STOP ME!”***

The final, corrupted stage of the King II. It is truly unknown if this was his real form, or if he had became like this because of the Player's actions. However, no matter what dialogue options the Player picks, the fight is inevitable. King's attacks have now **corrupted** damage, which means, that ***any*** armor, ***except*** Holy and All-consuming armor types will absorb only ***40%*** of the damage taken by the Player. King's moveset will now change, it will become more aggressive. Allowing him to hit the Player more easily, it will however open him for the counterattacks very often. Player should be careful though, as Corrupted Tuba King can summon souls of all those killed by him before and consume them to heal himself and to boost his damage for a short period of time. Another unique attack, that is worth mentioning is when he bursts different souls from his body, that are flying towards the Player and deal ***Corrupted*** damage upon hitting him. Another problem for player, will be Corrupted King's damage resist, which ***decreases any damage*** taken by him on ***25%.*** Soul-class weapon, enchanted with holy coals, however will bypass this debuff.

### ***Epilogue***

After defeating the King, Player will have two options: either to ***become a new king***, or to ***leave.***

**If the player decides to leave**, then Queen Tuba will have absolute control over the Brass Kingdom.

**If the player decides to become a new king**, then the ending will depend on what was the Player doing, and was he learning the dark magic, or light. **If the Player decided to do good and right things, while learning light,** then he will become a good king, the Kingdom will prosper and the folks will be pleased. **If the Player was doing bad and unrighteous things, while learning the secrets of the darkness and the dark magic,** then he will become a more successful version of his pre-successor. His ruling period will be considered as a pure tyranny, yet no-one will dare to stand against the new king, as he will be to cruel and strong.

Depending on the choice you made while being in Tuba Brothers' temple, some new things will be added to the epilogue. **If Player decided to help the Tuba Brothers**, then they will either help your kingdom to prosper with their new inventions, or they will help you rule you new kingdom, so no-one would even think of trying to stop you, except...

***Legacy***

In the second game, Chronicles of Tuba 2: Rise of the Percussion, multiple innuendos are said by many key characters regarding King Tuba II.

ex. '"The Tuba King was a foolish man, I am glad you defeated him."' -Righteous Tuba Knight 'Analog the Arbitrator'

King Tuba would become a DLC Boss in Chronicles of Tuba 2: Rebirth, where he is revived by the evil sorcerer, 'Flugilius-Horntounge'. You would defeat him and his final line is '"Thank you boy, you are a true..."'.

Little would be expanded upon him after this. Only being mentioned once in Chronicles of Tuba 3.
