The Love Giver is a set of Guitar Strings available for purchase in the Motor Forge for free, provided the player pre-ordered Brütal Legend, used a voucher code, or plays the PC version. The design of the guitar is inspired by the band Tenacious D, whose name is inscribed on the fret board with visages of Jack Black and Kyle Gass. With these strings equipped, Eddie Riggs will say one of these three phrases upon using Clementine's fire attack:
- "Ride my sweet nectar!"
- "I give you love!"
- "Love fountain!"
Description[]
In the Motor Forge the guitar is described: "Its attack is very high and the cool down is very quick."
Acquisition[]
The Love Giver was initially available only as a pre-order bonus when the game was released for the PS3 and Xbox 360. There is no way currently known to acquire it on PS4 or PS3. For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, go into the DLC marketplace from the game itself, and you can get the Love Giver for free, and then just go to manage downloads in the Xbox One menu and download it from there. For the PC version, it is automatically given to anyone who buys the game. It is available the first time the player visits a Motor Forge and costs 0 fire tributes.
Trivia[]
- The Guardian of Metal's comment when viewing these Strings may be a reference to a scene in the movie Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, where Kyle Gass expresses the belief that "'Sex' comes first in 'Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n roll'." Alternatively, it could simply be a humorous implication that Jack Black and Kyle Gass are chick magnets.
- A contest held prior to the release of Brütal Legend gave away a custom, one of a kind, recreation of the Love Giver as the prize. The guitar was built by Alembic. The contest was won by an internet person known as "justintimez". However, the winner had to sell the guitar when they fell on harsh times. The guitar was auctioned off on eBay for the starting bid of $666 in September, 2010. Its current whereabouts are unkown.
One of Gamestop's promotional commercials for Brütal Legend featured a song with lyrics that describe the mythical origin of The Love Giver:
“A tree from The Forest of Forgotten Souls,
Carved to a ‘V’ using demons’ bones.
Painted with the blood of a succubus’ wrist,
Sealed with a healthy coat of dragon Spit.
Six hairs strung from the heads of witches hung and what does thou have?
(You have the Axe!)
You have the Axe!”
