I think this would've been a Cuphead boss track if it was just the first third.

"Protocol 3... protect the maestro."

Still great 3 years later

I know this is 3 years old, but this sounds like a Cuphead boss song

Died like five times the first time I fought him, now with practice I can basically do it first try every time.

But hold up, this boss theme kinda slaps.

Imma use this in my dnd campaign

I absolutely adore this fight on Sousaphone Sorcerer playthroughs. A lot of people don't know this because he's such an unpopular character pick (tbh can't blame people... Sousa hits really hard but he's slow, clunky, and surprisingly frail), but the Tuba Archmage is actually designed as a rival boss fight for Sousa, and his AI changes drastically as a result. Instead the usual challenge on other characters where you need to end the fight ASAP while coping with the Archmage's nasty debuffs like Deafing Sforzando and Temporal Ritardando, Sousa vs. Archmage is basically a game of endurance where you gotta have the intuition to know when to trade hits, when to pressure the Archmage so that his Crescendo gauge doesn't fill too much, when to back off so you can keep your gauge from dropping... it kind of reminds me of a control deck mirror match in Yugioh, in a weird way. (If that makes sense?) There's even a neat trick in the last phase, too: you know when Archmage uses it's desperation attack, "Fermata Arte: Eternal Tuning"? Instead of breaking his concentration to stop the attack the usual way, Sousa can just straight up outlast him as long as you're good enough at stamina management. (And as a reward, the Archmage even gets inflicted with BREATHLESS if you pull it off. It's hilarious, try it.) I don't think any other boss in the game just lets you pull the rug out from under it during an ult like that.

Bronsistion: God of Brass Instruments

Noah became Mick Gordon

“AND THY PUNISHMENT… IS DEATH” *music begins* “NOW THE REST OF THE ORCHESTRA WILL KNEEL BEFORE THE MIGHT OF BRASS”

Feels like a darksouls boss.

Bro has trombosis

I have no idea why this was recommended to me, but I’m not complaining 😂

El boss más duro 🥶

I wanna see a Genshin mod where these are the ruin guards/graders

You can insta kill this boss by tooting the one that is ln his head, i will regret making this comment

This fight was honestly very hard, but the second phase wasn’t as bad

Someone pls make a mod base on the tuba army in any video game

Argent Tuba

BIG BAAAAAND

This better have been al tuba sounds

Somehow this goes hard as FUCK jesus 🔥🔥🔥

"Argg, the seas be tough taday lads."

He will cleanse you

2:06 is my favorite

Where do I even find accordion?! I found the quest item but never the boss. Pls help I really wanna get the platinum trophy

It was honestly hard to learn how to even get to the secret boss fight, but the fight itself wasn't so bad A little bit overrated for a secret fight, but nevertheless a good one considering the fact that the only way to find it was by getting every one of the pentagrams around the game

I really wish this were longer

What this game should be called?

*You hear the sounds of a distant tuba *He is near *You are filled with* *MUSIC*

Honestly, it’s giving Mario RPG vibes, I think it’s the bpm plus the brass being urgent yet still a little jaunty

Ultimate Baritone bash

I hate that this meme is dead! To underrated!

I remember that each time the music changes, so does the type of attacks and movements of this boss.

They march to meet there fate against the army of percussitonia

The brass bruisers

He is gonna give you up he is gonna let you down and he will not stop till the day of reckoning has come

HOW TF DOES THIS SOUND GOOD?!

Starting Boss: "we were destined to be foes brother.... Maestro: "I didnt want this.." Boss: "I know....but your in my way" 10/10 best boss

0:00 "You've fought hard, string. But soon, *I* will uphold the conductor's baton, and will become the *ULTIMATE* instrument for all to ONLY hear! But since you're so persistent, I suppose *one* music lesson won't hurt, will it?" "Let the brass crescendo, fellow one. For the ultimate instrument shall be nothing but BRASS!" 2:51 "AGH!!.... strong... aren't you, string instrument..? I don't need that hunk of gold to tangle your strings. I *PERSONALLY* will *RIP* those *ACCURSED* strings from your tailpiece. Lets settle this." "Maestro to Maestro." 3:03 *"I'm not holding back."*

Is there a game that is actually coming or are you just making the music ps is there a Spotify release of these songs

Tuba priests new title: TUBA OF CLEANSED

The tuba priest:the end of ur days is finite but not for me”

0:00 - 0:35 Damn thats some good sounding strings.

Boss: Tuba Archmage Boss Mechanics Phase 1: Melodic Onslaught Attacks and Abilities: Arcane Harmony: The boss releases a wave of arcane energy, dealing moderate damage to all players within a 30-yard radius. Players must spread out to minimize damage. Resonance Field: Creates zones on the ground that amplify magic damage. Players must avoid these zones or face increased damage from all magical attacks. Hidden Mechanic: Certain musical notes are emitted during the phase. Players with high perception must identify and stand in the correct sequence to weaken the boss, reducing its damage output by 20%. Phase 2: Chromatic Confluence Attacks and Abilities: Elemental Symphony: The Tuba Archmage cycles through elemental attacks (fire, frost, lightning), each requiring specific defensive measures. Fire causes burn damage over time, frost slows movement, and lightning chains between players. Ethereal Chorus: Summons ethereal clones that mirror the boss’s abilities. These clones must be defeated quickly, or they will overwhelm the raid. Hidden Mechanic: During this phase, random players receive a debuff called "Discordant Note" that can only be removed by other players using a specific emote sequence. Failure to remove the debuff within 10 seconds results in an explosion dealing massive damage to nearby players. Phase 3: Grand Crescendo Attacks and Abilities: Symphonic Surge: The boss channels a massive energy beam at a random player. Other players must intercept the beam to split the damage. Cacophony: An area-wide silence that disables all abilities for 5 seconds. Players must use defensive cooldowns and health potions to survive. Hidden Mechanic: Throughout the phase, the boss will occasionally play a specific musical tune. If players play the correct tune back using in-game instruments provided at the start of the fight, they will stun the boss for 10 seconds, allowing for increased damage. Overall Mechanics: Tonal Resonance: The boss periodically changes the arena’s environment to reflect different musical themes. Each theme changes the boss’s abilities and requires players to adapt quickly. Hidden Mechanic: In the corners of the arena, there are hidden glyphs. Players must activate these glyphs in a specific order to disable one of the boss’s most powerful abilities temporarily. Loot Drops and Drop Rates Arcane Tuba Staff Type: Two-Handed Staff Drop Rate: 5% Effect: Increases spell power by 10% and grants a unique ability to cast a powerful arcane bolt. Harmonic Robes Type: Cloth Chestpiece Drop Rate: 10% Effect: Increases spell critical strike chance by 5% and reduces cooldown of major abilities by 10%. Resonant Ring Type: Ring Drop Rate: 15% Effect: Increases magic resistance by 15% and grants a passive ability to absorb minor magic attacks. Melody of the Archmage (Mount) Type: Unique Mount Drop Rate: 1% Effect: A magical floating tuba that players can ride, granting a 150% increase in movement speed. Symphony's Edge Type: One-Handed Sword Drop Rate: 7% Effect: Increases attack speed by 5% and has a chance to release a sonic wave dealing area damage. Ethereal Conductor's Baton Type: Wand Drop Rate: 8% Effect: Enhances spellcasting speed and provides a unique ability to summon ethereal clones to assist in battle. Grand Crescendo Helm Type: Plate Helm Drop Rate: 12% Effect: Increases health by 10% and provides a shield absorbing a portion of incoming damage. Harmony's Locket Type: Necklace Drop Rate: 18% Effect: Increases mana regeneration by 10% and has a chance to heal the player when casting spells. This raid boss requires a high level of coordination, attention to hidden mechanics, and strategic use of the environment to overcome its complex and challenging phases.

This feels like the Tuba Mage was killed in the original boss fight, then brought back from the dead as a secret boss for this one.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE’S A THIRD PHASE?!

Man has the whole orchestra behind him, stepping in when he needs a quick reprieve. Those are the true friends he made along the way.
