The Great Horn

The Great Horn is an optional superboss and story boss in The Chronicles of Brass.

It is a large golem constructed of ivory and bone, with a large, open face, similar to a tuba. Large vines are wrapped around its body, and shackles of copper are wrapped around its wrists.

Story
The Great Horn was crafted by the primordial god of bone when the four gods of music were born, as a way to signal to the other gods that the gods of music could be beaten. During the final battle of the war between the gods of Music and Flesh, the god of Bone was killed. As punishment, the god of Brass sealed the soul of that god into his own creation, and locked its mind away within a pair of shackles that adorn its wrists. It was then forced to walk within the scorched deserts of the Soundless Plane, with the Trilogy of Trumpets being used to ensure that it could never make a sound.

However, King Tuba II decided to use the Great Horn in his desire for conquest.

His armies marched into the Soundless Plane, and the Great Horn was - with great effort - incapacitated. It was brought to the front lines of the Brass/String conflict, and was released into the fray in hopes of it decimating the String armies.

However, the player had previously destroyed the Great Horn's shackles while it was in captivity inside of the Brass Kingdom's capitol and awaiting transportation. After a hearty conflict, it eventually settled down, and came to the conclusion that its age had since past. With a nod, the Great Horn looked towards the String army, gave a nod, and pushed back upon the Brass Kingdom.

After the Brass Legion was forced to retreat, the God of Bone sung a great horn; A war cry to all the nations of Orchestria, that the gods of the past were on their side. And with that, the volume of the Great Horn's cry was so loud, its ivory head shattered, bringing the goliath to the ground, ending the life of the god of bone, and the legacy of the Great Horn.
