( uncommon time ) walkthrough part 9
tenuto spring IV;
Return to Tenuto Spring through Tenuto Grove and enter Luminoso's house for a cutscene.
When you are ready, enter Luminoso's back room and stand on the magic circle to head to the next dungeon.
anacrusis;
You will not be able to backtrack to any area once you have completed it. Similar enemies appear in all areas; using the same strategy as in Lake Arco will be helpful.
tier one;
Items:
boss: bravura & solenne;
Recommended Level: 38-39
Your strategy for defeating these two shouldn't be that much different from it was the first time around. After winning the battle, head to the next area and use the magic circle.
tier two;
To progress, you will have to crawl through the crack to enter the cave. There are still enemy encounters in the area with the heal spot, so be careful.
Items:
boss: poetico & tacet;
Recommended Level: 39-40
Make sure you equip accessories that block Wet or bring in Aubrey wearing Opal Drops, or you might wind up in trouble because of the enemy's Wet/Wind spells combos. Other than that, your strategy should be similar to last time.
After winning the battle, move onward to the last magic circle.
tier three;
There is an optional miniboss in the area with the graves.
Items:
boss: luminoso & scherzo;
Recommended Level: 40-41
Both of these bosses can debuff your MDF, so you may want to bring Teagan along to neutralize that when necessary. Make use of whoever's second-tier cutin skills are available, and keep watching out for Scherzo's drain attacks.
Once you have defeated the bosses and watched the cutscene, you will be brought back to Tenuto Spring automatically with just Alto in the party. Reenter the main room to rendezvous with the other members, and then leave to head back to Bel Canto.
bel canto III;
Bel Canto On A Square Grid:
Go straight to the mansion to start the series of events.
(revenge of the) rehearsal day 1;
After the cutscene, leave town and head to Libretto. After the cutscene, head to the printing press, and then return to Bel Canto.
Meirin, who is in the foyer, will tell you where Aubrey is at all points of the day. Find Aubrey and talk to them to complete the event.
(revenge of the) rehearsal day 2;
Leave the mansion after the cutscene and head to the grocery store for a long conversation event. Returning to the mansion will progress the story.
Teagan can be found in the practice room, and Aubrey and Saki are both in their rooms.
(revenge of the) rehearsal day 3;
Leave the practice room for an automatic event in which Aubrey joins the party.
Head to Dal Segno and go to the luthier's for another short event, then go back to Bel Canto and into the practice room to continue the story.
You can find Saki and Meirin in the kitchen; Teagan will be in her room.
At night, you will again be tasked with tracking down your errant party members in order. The other three members will be in the same places as before; Teagan is in front of Metronome Tower.
After you have found everyone, go to sleep in Alto's room.
Head for Metronome Tower again when you wake up for another short cutscene, and then you'll be on your way.
metronome tower II;
Floors one through five will each have puzzles based on certain aspects of your recent experiences.
On the first floor, continue checking the door until you can pass.
On the second floor, examine the tablet to find out how to progress. Some of the sparkles shown are decoys, but one of the decoys will reveal a hidden chest.
On the third floor, examine each of the fences to break them down, and then examine the flowerpot until you are able to progress.
On the fourth floor, investigate the door and then light the torches to unlock it.
The fifth floor is a little different. After examining the tablet and checking the mirrors, you must move Alto to the front of the party and check the mirrors to change the layout of the room. Many of the treasure chests are only available in one state or the other, so be careful not to miss anything.
Items:
Once you arrive on the sixth floor, you will become able to teleport down to the first floor and back with the crystals. At this point, several sidequests and the first extra dungeon will all become available.
Go up the stairs to fight the final boss. This part of the guide will describe the version of the boss fight available before completing both extra dungeons.
boss: distortion;
Recommended Level: 43-45
Equip items to deal with Silence, Wet, and water-elemental attacks. This boss has a lot of HP and some strong attacks, so swap out your party members as necessary.
Losing to this boss will lead to Ending 3. If you win, you will see Ending 2.
