Part 1[]
Etrius fights the Evils (the same and similar to Castle II) then he later on faints and wakes up beside a mansion fighting the Grenade Man. The Grenade Man and Etrius have a battle with each other until Etrius gets onto the mansion's side. The mansion's side blows up making a hole for Etrius to go through in the room where the rifleman from Slakt encounters him in Part 2. The Grenade Man later appears to encounter Etrius again.
Part 2[]
Etrius is in a room with three riflemen and a purple rifleman. He kills two riflemen with his Sabre, and tries to take Slakt out, but instead kills the other guy. Grenade Man turns up, and Etrius run out of ammo, charging Slakt with his Sabre. A Frag Grenade is thrown and Etrius drops his sabre, having to throw himself under a pillar to retrieve it.
He appears in another version of the Second Castle, taking down evils to get to the stairs. Once on the stairs, Etrius kills Mark. Slakt runs Beecher, throwing his clip at Beecher's face, before slamming the rifle into Beecher's head. Grenade Man throws Andy down the stairs, where Etrius cuts through him. Lloyd pulls out his katana, and after a swordfight, Etrius stabs Lloyd through the chest and spins around, taking Lloyd's head. Grenade Man punches Boomer off the stairs, before dropping a grenade down, which explodes in Boomer's face. The three reach the top of the stairs just as the General picks up the book.
Part 3 (unfinished)[]
According to the Info section in Part 2 main menu before the animation plays, it says something James Hook stated about Part 2 relating to Part 3:
- "I started this animation early 2006, as part of a collab. The collab eventually died out, and I continued this animation over the next year. I lost my obsession to animation and decided to release it unfinished. I may or may not finish it."
- —James Hook (Jaded989 NG user) information in info section on the main menu of Oscar Tribute Part 2
This indicates that there were originally going to be two parts of Oscar Tribute. Part 2 was suppose to include the ending that was suppose to be in Part 2, but James Hook left it unfinished. [1]
On February 10, 2012, a user person called shahryar444 (proof!) reviewed on Oscar Tribute Part 2 saying:
- "I want to know what happens next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting since 2007 and now its 2012! Where's the next part!?!?!???!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!"
- —Shahryar444
Later after a couple of days surprisingly James Hook answered:
- "Sorry bud, I've moved on! I'm studyying game design now, no more animations. It will forever be unfinished."
- —James Hook (Jaded989 NG user)[2]
As of now, there's no indications of a part 3 coming, it looks like it really is "unfinished forever."
Trivia[]
- Oscar Tribute was originally suppose to be two parts but later on to be a Trilogy (3 parts). Oscar Tribute became one of the most "unfinished online animation series".
- Slakt means 'Slaughter' in Swedish/ Norwegian. Slakt could also be the Rifleman from Castle 1, seeing as the Rifleman's body is left in the Castle Dimension, where laws of nature don't apply. In 'Slakt' the animation, Slakt himself is unkillable.
