The Accordion Man

"Im about to start playing your funeral song" -The Accordion Man

The Accordion Man is a secret boss that can be fought if the player goes to a tavern after making it halfway into the game and defeating The Tuba Brothers. The Accordion Man is a very mysterious entity that sits in a corner of the tavern playing tunes for the whole place, theres also a small tin can beside him if you want to tip him. Tipping him will allow you to chose any song of your choice for him to play.

If you wish to fight The Accordion Man you must first go up to him and insult him and then kick his can over spilling coins on the ground. This will cause him to become angry with you and will initiate a boss fight. The boss fight with The Accordion Man will start out slow but gets progressively faster and aggressive giving the player little time to think and move, when he is low on health he will pull out a rum bottle and drink it restoring a unknown amount of health. He is vulnerable in this state since he will not attack, leaving a small window to deal lots of damage. Losing to him will cause the player to be robbed of 15% of their money and be thrown out of the tavern's window. He will remark how many times you have died.

The Accordion Man's appearance is a skinny, pale skinned, middle aged man who is clothed in torn rags and jagged blond hair. He seems to be suffering from malnutrition having his ribs showing through his chest and having boney arms and hands. His fight song is a mix of accordion music, a drum, and a solo violin with some clapping in the background acting as the beat, the tempo of the music getting faster as the fight progresses.

Defeat
Theres two ways you can defeat him, one way is by defeating him normally. doing this you will obtain his tin of coins and his beloved Accordion and he will no longer appear in game. The second way of defeating him is by staying alive in the fight for 45 minutes without dying and without killing him, doing this will cause him to become tired and stop attacking you. He will then return to his corner and reward you with a special coin for defeating him, this coin when used gives the player a second life if they're killed in battle and The Accordion Man can now can be visited again when you enter the tavern.
