* **Main Page**
* Gameplay
* Dialogue

Guitar Psycho is an optional boss found at Pizzicato Plateau, in the String Kingdom. He is the main antagonist of the sidequest: "When Strings Snap."

## Appearance

Unlike most people in Orchestria, Guitar Psycho wears no Mask at all, instead showing his face to the entire world. He wields a large knife that he plays his guitar with, as if it were a violin. He also sports a pair of black glasses, a black shirt, and black pants. When playing music, Guitar Psycho handles his large sword with incredible speed and power, hinting at his exceptional combat prowess

## Personality

Although Guitar Psycho acts calm and collected, his true nature is extremely murderous. He uses his calm demeanor as a facade, as he will not hesitate to kill Maestro or any of his allies. Being a former soldier from the String Kingdom Militia, Guitar Psycho is no stranger to combat. While he prefers to kill his victims before they can even draw their weapons, he won't hesitate to back down from a fair fight.

## History

Once a common soldier of the String Kingdom Militia, Guitar Psycho was known for being exceptionally well-versed with the guitar. Unfortunately, during a patrol at Pizzicato Plateau, Guitar Psycho became trapped in a cave, after the entrance collapsed on him. Trapped with only his guitar for company, Guitar Psycho survived solely by drinking from underground springs and eating dead Stringed Beetles.

After years of spending his time down in the caves with nothing but his guitar, Guitar Psycho was eventually rescued by a group of miners. By then, Guitar Psycho's sanity was already long gone, as he killed the miners minutes after they had saved him. Guitar Psycho would go on to roam Pizzicato Plateau, killing anybody who dared enter his territory. While it is unknown exactly when, Guitar Psycho would go on to find the large sword that he still uses today, most likely from one of his victims.

### When Strings Snap

In the events of Tuba Warriors, Guitar Psycho still roams Pizzicato Plateau. While he is practically impossible to defeat at this point in the game, he can be easily defeated once Maestro has completed several kingdoms. In the sidequest "When Strings Snap," Maestro is assigned to get rid of Guitar Psycho, by any means necessary, as the String Kingdom Militia has been ignoring talk about the Guitar Psycho due to their busyness with the Tuba Wars. Maestro can get rid of Guitar Psycho through multiple methods:

* **Killing Guitar Psycho**: This method is by far the most obvious, and involves killing Guitar Psycho. However, most players don't follow this route, as it Guitar Psycho is usually too difficult to defeat during this point in the game.
* **Convincing The Militia**: This method involves convincing the String Kingdom Militia to take care of Guitar Psycho, which requires the player to have already gained the trust of the String Kingdom.
* **Baiting Guitar Psycho**: One of the few methods that doesn't require any major factors beforehand. This involves luring Guitar Psycho into charging recklessly off the plateau, leading to his demise.
* **Using Banjo Poison**: This method involves using a special Banjo Poison to weaken Guitar Psycho. While weakening Guitar Psycho doesn't kill him, it makes his fight much easier to digest. This special poison can only be found by buying it from a shady guard behind Guitar Castle, after explaining the situation to him.

## Trivia

* Guitar Psycho's diary can be found in Pizzicato Plateau. This diary shows players how Guitar Psycho came to be trapped in the cave.
