How To Complete Strange Melody In The First Berserker: Khazan

Exploring the areas in The First Berserker: Khazan can be confusing because there are branching paths and dangerous fights at every corner. There are also Soul Stones and Jarlings that you’ll have to find while you navigate through these locations.

The Strange Melody is the 13th main story mission that takes you to the Rovelion Imperial Theater in search of Princess Ilyna. This place is full of illusions and sounds that can cause you to hallucinate, so you’ll have to be ready and prepared to see through everything this place has to offer.

Strange Melody Walkthrough

As you travel to the Rovelion Imperial Theater, you’re immediately greeted by a dead end with a painting waiting for you at the front. Approaching the painting will teleport you inside the Imperial Theater, and this first interaction alone is enough to tell you there are going to be a lot of illusions in this area.

Central Garden Of The Theater

As you’re teleported inside the Theater, you’ll find yourself in front of the area’s first Blade Nexus. Open the gate to the front, and you’ll find a ghost musician lady who’ll be shooting projectiles at you that will cause you to hallucinate as long as you remain in her sight. Don’t bother attacking this ghost as your attacks will be ineffective.

You’ll find plenty of Yoma Pursuers in this place, and you’ll have to fight them while avoiding the projectiles from the ghost lady. In this hall, you can find a corpse with Lacrima on it to the extreme right, but you’ll have to approach it with caution as a Devotee is hanging on the wall and will strike you as you come closer to the corpse.

To progress ahead, you’ll have to take the stairs on the right half of the room that will lead you to the upper floor. Here you’ll immediately find two Yoma Jesters and a Yoma Purseur shortly ahead. Getting rid of them will have you come across a Yoma Warlock and a Yoma Shaman. Go up the stairs in the room, and there will be a path to your right.

The First Floor Of The Theater

You’ll find a Yoma Jester, a Yoma Warlock, and a Beast of Madness in this corridor. Defeat them to progress ahead. You’ll reach a room with a dead end and a Yoma Warlock in it. There are three Chaos Fragments to your right, just in front of the statue. Turn around, and you’ll notice a blood trail disappearing behind a wall.

Attack the wall and it will disappear, opening a path for you to proceed ahead. Turn right from here and you’ll find a couple of enemies. Defeat them and progress ahead. Keep going ahead until you come across a gate being guarded by a Spellbound Knight.

After defeating the Knight, open the door and attack the ghost lady a few times, which will cause her to teleport to the upper floor, and that will also remove the fog from the gate that was preventing you from progressing further. After getting rid of the ghost lady, go back inside and head to the left half of the area, where you’ll find two paths.

Pull the lever on the door to the right, and that will be your shortcut to get back here from the Entrance To The Banquet Hall Blade Nexus. Now, head to the door to the left and go up the stairs to reach the next floor.

The Second Floor Of The Theater And The First Soul Stone

There will be two Beasts of Madness here. You can lure one downstairs by attacking it with a javelin, and then get rid of the next one after you’ve defeated it. After defeating the second Beast of Madness, progress through the gate and turn left immediately. You’ll find an illusory wall here, opening the path to a glittering item.

Approach the item and the ground will disappear from beneath your feet, and you’ll drop into the room down below. You’ll find the first Soul Stone here, but you’ll have to progress all the way from the first floor back to the hidden room above to pick the glittering item, which will turn out to be the Golden Scroll, a crafting recipe for the Golden set.

You can also simply attack the ground with your sword to make it disappear, and then destroy the Soul Stone with your javelin. After the floor has disappeared, you’ll have to walk on the tiny edge that remains on the floor to reach the Golden Scroll.

Now, go out of the hidden room and proceed ahead. You’ll find a locked gate in the middle of the corridor, and the door to the far left will be blocked by fog. Open the door in the middle, and you’ll find the ghost lady here. Attack her to make her disappear, and then she’ll teleport to the next floor, while also unlocking the fog door.

The Illusory Wall And The Second Soul Stone

Go through the gate that was previously locked by fog and progress ahead. You’ll find plenty of Yoma enemies here, so you’ll have to be prepared. As you progress through the corridors, wait until you come across a painting on the wall to your left. Attack it to open a hidden room.

There’s a painting in the middle of the hidden room, and approaching it will teleport you to another location. Here, you’ll find the Bard, as well as the second Soul Stone in this area. Go ahead, and you can unlock the gate to return to the large bridge in the middle of the Theater on the Third Floor.

Getting Rid Of The Ghost Lady

After doing so, you should head downstairs and fight against the Spellbound Knight, as it’s guarding a high-rarity chest. After that, go back up and head to the path to the right, and you’ll find an elevator. Go down and pull the lever to unlock the gate, leading to the first Blade Nexus in the area.

Go back up and get ready to go across the bridge and as you reach there, you’ll find the mysterious ghost lady at the other end of the bridge. As you approach the ghost lady, she will summon a Soul Harvester. Defeating the Soul Harvester will get rid of the ghost lady for now, and you’ll be able to progress further.

Make your way to the place where the ghost lady was standing, and you’ll find the Imperial Music Tutor’s Notes, giving you more information about Princess Ilyna. Go through the long corridor here and you’ll reach a locked gate.

Path To The Museum

From here on, you’ll be dealing with music players that will inflict hallucination build-up on you as long as you’re in their range, and you’ll have to destroy them to make them stop. Additionally, you’ll also find several Yoma Pursuers afflicted with Frenzy in this area. The other two Soul Stones and the sole Jarling in this area can also be reached through this Blade Nexus.

As you make your way ahead, you’ll immediately come across a Yoma Pursuer inflicted by Frenzy. Defeat it and progress ahead to find the first music player. There are a few Yoma enemies here, and you’ll have to defeat them to progress until you reach a large hall.

There will be a Yoma Pursuer to your left and a Yoma Warlock on a small staircase to the left. There will be more Yoma enemies in this area, and once you’ve defeated all of them, you can go near the Staircase where the Yoma Warlock was standing to find a hidden path.

You’ll have to pull the book off the bookshelves to open the area where you’ll find another music player. From here, you can enter the large hall again by going over the fallen bookshelves. Once you’re there, you’ll have to progress ahead to find an Elite Enemy, the Servant of Chaos.

Defeating the Servant of Chaos will reward you with the Saint’s Scroll, which allows you to craft the Saint’s set gear.

The Third Soul Stone

After defeating the Elite Enemy, you can head right to left on the staircase to pick up a Spirit Ore, and then you’ll have to go to the staircase on the right and progress ahead. There will be a Yoma Pursuer with Frenzy on the way and another one inside the room, but you’ll have to defeat them, and you’ll also find the third Soul Stone in this here.

Exit the room, and you’ll find the music player to your left. Destroy it and get ready to go across the tiny bridge, but be wary of the Corrupted Mage hanging at the other end of the bridge. Once you’ve crossed the bridge, you can take the ladder on the path to your left to unlock the shortcut from the Path To The Museum Blade Nexus.

After unlocking the shortcut, get up on the ladder and progress ahead. You’ll find a locked gate in the middle, with stairs leading downwards, and an opening leading to the outside on the left.

The Grand Central Theater Key And The Fourth Soul Stone

Head out from the opening to your left. There will be a few Yoma enemies here. Once outside, drop to the ledge and progress ahead. Be wary, because as soon as you drop from the ledge, you’ll land with a Yoma Warlock right behind you. Progress a little further, and you’ll find the opening to get back inside the Theater.

Once you’re back inside, you’ll find a Yoma Pursuer here. Defeat it and head left, where you’ll find another Yoma Pursuer. After getting rid of it, you’ll find a Yoma Warlock and a treasure chest in the room right behind where the second Yoma Pursuer was standing.

As you open the treasure chest, you’ll find the Grand Central Theater Key. Look to your right and you’ll spot a painting. Hit the painting to unlock a hidden room where you’ll find the fourth Soul Stone in this area.

Once you’ve destroyed the final Soul Stone, head straight on the path to the gate. There will be a ton of enemies here, so you’ll have to be careful. After you’ve defeated them all, you can pick up the Rovelion’s Disk Fragment from the center of the room and then head back upstairs to unlock the locked gate with the Grand Central Theater Key.

The Revenant Devourer And The Hidden Jarling

As you open the door, you’ll have to face a Revenant Devourer, an Elite Enemy. After you’ve defeated it, you can unlock the gate behind it. You’ll find a long corridor here, but that’s not where you have to go right away.

Just after opening the door, turn right and you’ll spot a statue. There’s a painting on the wall behind the statue, and if you hit it, you’ll unlock a hidden room. In this hidden room, you’ll find a treasure chest and the only Jalring in this area.

The Grand Central Theater

Now, head straight through the corridor to reach the Grand Central Theater Blade Nexus. From here, you have to go downstairs and head straight ahead, but there are two Spellbound Knights in this area, which you can simply avoid by dashing straight towards the door to begin the boss battle.

One Spellbound Knight is on the right half of the screen, and this is the one you’ll be coming across every time you make your way to the boss arena. If you head straight to the right from the Blade Nexus, you can do a jumping attack from the ledge, which won’t be enough to kill the Spellbound Knight, but it can deal a ton of damage.

There’s another Spellbound Knight to the left of the room, guarding a treasure chest. You’ll have to defeat it to get to the chest, where you’ll find the Dragonscale Armor set and the Ghost Spearhead, which can be used to awaken Atlante the Precise Phantom, but that’s only a one-time thing.

From there onwards, you can rush straight to the boss battle against Princess Ilyna in the Grand Central Theater room.
