Banjo-Tooie: Old King Coal

[CountofBleck]

Force-A-Nature

[SimsAustin]

I beat this guy with one hand and in the other...........facebook. lol

[luigifan586]

for the first boss,he sure was good...and did that song..(old King Coal) inspire nintendo for this villian?

[YamiTomoshibi]

(Banjo breaks Old King Coal's arms off)

Banjo: There. I've won.

OKC: No you haven't!

Banjo: You stupid bastard! Your arms are off!

OKC:...It's just a flesh wound.

[dimentiorules]

I only heard the first 30 seconds of the theme because he's so easy. He's easier than even klungo!

[64smashmanpain]

This guy reminds me of King Kutout from Donkey Kong 64 for 3 reasons.

(Other than both being made by Rareware)

1: They both lose body parts every now and then.

2: They both have the word "King" in their names.

3: 1:06-1:08 is the begining of King Kutout's theme.

[64smashmanpain]

0:55-1:16

Best Part

[GrubRising13]

Force of Nature...

[TARINunit9]

Oh crap, not another annoying FaN Scout!!

(obscure YTP reference FTW)

[spacemarshmallow]

My record time for beating him: 16 seconds

[Quinn24589]

This guy was in all sense of the word, fucking pathetic.

[drybowserman9091]

Old King Coal looks pretty cool, but...he coulda been made harder. -_-

[smbz1]

@drybowserman9091

The reason Old King Coal wasn't hard was because people need to use the train to access Grunty Industries, without that you cannot beat the game. So if someone wouldn't be able to beat King Coal, they wouldn't be able to beat the game. That's why he's so easy.

[drybowserman9091]

@smbz1 Ohhh, ok

[TheRodrimaster]

This guy was pathetic

[KrazyKaz12]

Theres a timer to this boss fight. If it runs out, King Coal will say something, but I can't remember. The boiler will be turned on for the rest of the fight and you will slowly lose air, but its so easy to beat the boss b4 this happens!

[IxMyBloodyPaintxI]

OKC to me wasn't even remotely chalenging all I did was bust his merry soul with some of my normal eggs and he was gone also if you aim more precisely and use the cross hair you can take him down like that *snaps fingers*

[RaccoonMario64]

LOL gotta love all the goofy Rare boss themes.

[Supertails941]

*blows off arms*

It's just a flesh wound!

[IxMyBloodyPaintxI]

@Supertails941 Monty Python for the win!

*kills Old King Coal"

"Let's call it a draw"

[Quinn24589]

@Supertails941 Look you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left! Just a flesh wound..."

[IMHEREAGAINSTMYWILL]

toooooooooooooooo easy

[WolfofSega]

Start sounded like Final Fantasy.

[578t7645uyb5]

@WolfofSega I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this.

[ugovaria]

1:06 sounds like king cutout

[ugovaria]

this boss didn't attack enough

[Bowserslave]

has any1 tried to beat this boss on replay mode using only the rat a tap tap move?

[cyberneticimpostor]

i dont think any1 has and that would b pretty hard 2 do but i can try it and i will sumtime

[FanofZelda450]

@Bowserslave I never tried that :O I always beat him with grenade eggs xD

*Opening my N64 and trying to beat Old King Coal again with the rat a tap rap*

I'll tell you if I make it :D I'll just... PM you ^^

[abrahamstudios]

im gunna try that right now

[BoyceyGanglionz]

All of the banjo-tooie boss themes besides klungos all sound strangely similar

[ShootForFun824]

their remixes of the BGM of the level the boss comes from

[Morphae]

They all remind me of uhh, dk 64 boss themes

[AgentCDI]

lol the begining sounds like a ff battle

[st0pnsw0p]

Why'd rare have to put such a great song in the shortest boss fight in existence?

[ZapandAceProductions]

Old King Coal wasn't a very merry soul AND he will plant his merry old Sole on you! O_O

[ShockySpartan]

How bout: Old king coal was a moldy old coal, and a moldy old coal was he. He called for his train, he called for his heat. and called for banjo-threeie

[tehlard16670]

:P

lol

[ladycordelia17]

@ShockySpartan - Said Banjo the bear and Kazooie the bird, "Many eggs for the shooting have we! Shoot-shoot-shoot, hit-hit-hit, go the eggs so many!" (short bit of instrumental)

Oh, there's none so rare as can compare with King Coal and the Banjo-Tooie.

[Bowserslave]

@zapandaceproductions

so if old king coal doesnt have a merry old soul

how could he put his merry own soul on me if he doesnt have 1?

[ZapandAceProductions]

His Merry old SOLE as in his feet

[Bowserslave]

oh wow i didnt c that

im dumb =P

[superstarman9001]

@Bowserslave He has a different kind of sole.

[virolac]

0:56-1:06 EPIC

[Fluffball176]

This brings back memories.

[Hellichibi]

0:00 to 0:03 sounds like Final Fantasy 1thru 6 battle music xD

[Theman789456123pgh]

The beggining of the boss music sounds a bit like the original Old King Coal song.

[Burnoutmaster1]

well thanks for the help guys, now i finally beat hime after 1 try....lawl

he is piss easy and i only have trouble on him if i have few eggs.

thx again!

btw awsome theme for a pathetic boss -.-

[DeDaDoDu]

Easy as hell!

[KatEpona]

Old king coal wasn't a merry old soul...

[alexthepure]

But he almost had his merry old sole on top of my puny head

[Burnoutmaster1]

god, to some of you he's easy, but every time i get to him i have 1 grenade egg left so god help me! someone put a good stratagy up so i can beat him!

[crazytoad10010]

Wait till you get frost eggs :D , they do 5 damage to him

[munchies616]

Ice Eggs are better

[Lo0kuaz]

wans't "old king coal" supposed to sound like "donkey kong" or something?

[MetallicMadness2]

Lo0kuaz: It's a joke on the story (or was it a song?) about a merry old soul Old king coal. They even put some jokes about that before the battle.

[desiguy309]

wow... this sounds identical to the glitter gulch mine theme

[andrew7654]

That because this song is a boss remix of the Glitter Gulch Mines, A lot of the bosses in this game have a boss remix of the world their from.

[gruntora]

Except Klungo and the Hag 1 they all do.  Mingy Jongo is a semi-exception since his theme is a remix of the Mumbo's Skull theme, not Cloud Cuckooland's theme.

[mariodude89]

@andrew7654

The same applies to DK64, and well most rare games.

[ererade]

die at old king coal and you are like the biggest noob ever

[tamahome234]

agreed =D

[RedBlackout117]

i remember when his head fell off and i was like, "how can he be living AND talking without a head?!?!"

good times

[DarioPhantom]

Back then, it didn't matter. You question so many things in the game, but in the end, you just look and say, "Whatever, let's kill it."

[squia]

EPIC omg XD

[Hilipinapixili]

It doesn't really matter what you use on this guy, be it grenade, ice or even normal eggs, he's so easy it doesn't even matter. Just jump on top of one of the high platforms. He won't be able to do anything to you there.

[nickermacpooymouse]

The Great Mighty Poo's Cousin?

[cdusza12]

This boss was so easy using grennade eggs.

[Clone0High]

omfg so easy

[inumaru988]

"But you're supposed to be a merry old soul."

"Hurrrr! Not me, pal. But you'll soon be feeling my merry old sole on top of your puny heads."

[MettanAtem]

Which egg is best to use against Old King Coal? Ice Eggs. They do 5 damage to OKC each hit.

[SpydorPoop]

Grenades are auto limb loss. :)

[BlazingSS4]

No they're not. It takes about 2 or 3 of them.

[SpydorPoop]

For the body and legs, yes, 2-3

For arms, 1

[BlazingSS4]

Oh, that's right! Point taken.

[baul104]

To MettanAtem: Ice eggs does the damage, but the Grenade eggs does most of the damage which is 6.

[MettanAtem]

Yeah, but Ice Eggs fire faster.

[TAGMOMG]

The thing is, you practicaly need to leave him behind to get the Ice Eggs.

As in, You have to let him live longer to kill him quicker. Seems kind of ironic when you look at it like that, Huh?

[gruntora]

Or you could just have all the eggs and shoot non-stop.

[TAGMOMG]

I don't think that could actualy work. There would still be a "reload" time, so to speak.

[gruntora]

That's what I do. Load all the eggs to the limit and fire at will. Of course if one runs out they could just jump and use the rat-a-tat-rap until he dies.

[TAGMOMG]

You know, Considering how easy he is, I don't even think you need the rat-a-tat-rap. He should be dead before you've even emptied the granade eggs. Just stand on a platform and shoot the coal out of him.

[gruntora]

Actually I beat every boss without advancing to the next area of the Isle o' Hags. I'm talking 'bout regular eggs. You can take him down with those and he's still easy-as-Hell.

[TAGMOMG]

Well, I supose that would work just as well. He's basicaly piss easy, really.

[hansonslee]

"Oh well, at least, I have another arm."

"I don't need arms to beat you."

"Why don't we sit down and talk about this?"

One of the funniest bosses!

[myrio007]

Whole game is funny.

[tconman31]

@hansonslee he reminded me of the Black Night from Monty Python's Holy Grail: "It's just a flesh wound!" "I'L GNAW YOUR LIMBS OFF!!!"

[Sparkster64]

how to beat:

RAPID FIRE GRENNADE!

[DariusEdge2]

But I thought you could only have Grenade Eggs for OKC in Replay Mode.

[TAGMOMG]

With ten jiggies (and enough notes) It is actualy possible to gain the granade eggs before facing him in the story mode.

[DariusEdge2]

Ahh right. Now I remember that you could do that.

Been a while since I played.. Sucks my N64's Adaptor is Busted.

[TAGMOMG]

You mean the addaptor with "nintendo" on it?

Because I think those things came with gamecube, too. The N64 addaptor worked in Gamecube, So it should probably work the other way round.

(Now all you have to do is FIND a Gamecube with that addaptor.)

[KoopaBro9]

This boss was so easy....

[hammerbro99]

but he had the best battle music XD

[Omni2Link1Deity]

I don't know Weldar had some badass music

[hammerbro99]

omg ur right its been so long since i played i forgot weldar :(
