Octavo
Template:Boss Octavo is a boss in Cadence of Hyrule.[1]
Biography
Octavo is a musician and magician who played for the King of Hyrule. Fearing the return of Ganon, Octavo bewitched the King of Hyrule and attempted to steal the Triforce. However, upon being touched, the Triforce split. Despite this, Octavo was able to enchant his Lute and transform it into the Golden Lute, granting him more power. Using this power, Octavo sealed Hyrule Castle and summoned an army of monsters across Hyrule. He also placed various Instruments deep within the dungeons of Hyrule to prepare Four Champions who could combat Ganon.
Octavo can be encountered at the end of four elemental dungeons in Hyrule, attempting to infuse the elements into his Instruments to create his Four Champions. When he is first encountered, he challenges Cadence, Link, Yves, or Zelda in combat against his first Champion.[2] When met for a second time, he vows to not make the same mistake as before, pitting the heroes against his second Champion.[3] During the third meeting with Octavo, he insists that the heroes will never be capable of fending off Ganon.[4] In the fourth meeting, Octavo reveals that he is attempting to amass an army to fight Ganon and summons his final Champion in an attempt to make the heroes recognize this.[5]
After the four Instruments have been collected and Hyrule Castle has been infiltrated, Octavo greets the heroes and forcibly reclaims his Instruments to empower himself.[6] He then questions if the heroes can prove to be his Champions instead, prompting them to battle him.[7]
Upon Octavo's defeat, a Portal (Object) will appear and spirit away the Golden Lute. Octavo will blame the heroes for this and lament that Ganon cannot be defeated without it.[8] He then travels to the future to a time when Ganon has taken Hyrule and challenges him to combat, only to lose.[9] Octavo is not seen after the defeat of Ganon.
Characteristics
Octavo is fought on a stage surrounded by monsters and possessed Guards. Using the power of the Golden Lute, Octavo summons monsters by channeling the various Instruments at his command. When these monsters have been exhausted, he will switch Instruments. Upon exhausting the Glockenspiel, Bass Guitar, Maraca, and the Oboe, Octavo will summon random sets of monsters with the Golden Lute until he has sustained enough damage. When he is struck after summoning random monsters, damage will be dealt to the Golden Lute, which has six Hearts. In addition to summoning monsters, Octavo can conjure rows of magical Swords or Hammers in purple or green to damage Link and Zelda respectively. Octavo can also summon fireballs, which he casts in the shape of a chevron.
After the Golden Lute has been dealt enough damage, a Portal (Object) will appear. The Golden Lute will fall into the Portal (Object), ending the battle.
