Defeat Trick or Treat and two Mushroom Ups in Eternal Strands. Learn their attacks and strategies to win Recovery Gloves and a Floral Extract.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Focus on defeating the two Mushroom Ups quickly. Falsetto can take one down in a single turn with a combo ending in Snow Claw, while Jazz can handle the other.
  2. 2
    Be aware that Trick or Treat can revive fallen allies with Heavenly Assist. Aim to catch them in large-scale attacks rather than focusing on one at a time.
  3. 3
    Keep your party spread out to avoid damage from Trick or Treat's area-of-effect attacks like Dander Fume (around 600 damage) and Mushroom Party (over 1800 damage if unblocked).
  4. 4
    When Trick or Treat uses Inevitable Punishment, it will teleport to a character, deal damage twice, and then return to its original spot.
  5. 5
    Viola should stay at a distance, using rapid-fire arrows and Heal Arrow when necessary.
  6. 6
    Utilize Light or Dark Special Attacks, building up Echoes for Jazz's Heat Blade or Viola's Heal Arrow if the party needs healing.
  7. 7
    Keep your party's HP up by using items from your Item Set.
Tips
  • This is considered the hardest boss battle yet.
  • Consider a party composition of Jazz, Falsetto, and Viola.
  • Use a hit-and-run technique to keep your party away from each other.

After defeating Trick or Treat, walk forward past its remains to reach a waterfall, which is the entrance to Andante, the rebel city and Andantino's headquarters. Enter the city through the nearby cave.

Andante

Enemies: None

Items: Flare Head, Score Piece 5, Score Piece 6

Save your game and enter the cave to reach the heart of the city. Cross the bridge and enter the second room on the right to reach the infirmary. Replenish your HP for free and leave. Go across the bridge and enter the storage room. Check the shelf on the right to find Score Piece 5.

Leave the storage room and descend the stairs to the bottom floor. Check out the shop for new weapons like the Monkey Bow (800) and Power Stroke (700), and armor like Tiger Armor (800) for Allegretto. Once done, enter the last room on the left. The little girl inside needs help with her wilting rare flower, which only survives on water at the nearby cemetery.

Before heading out on that quest, go back inside the house and check the bookshelf to find a Flare Head, an accessory for Viola. Inspect the pots to the left of the residence to find a note: "search around the stone pillar". Go back to the top floor of Andante and across the bridge leading to the entrance. Search the stone pillar to find another note and Score Piece 6! Backtrack to the bottom floor and head down the walkway across from the shop to reach a cave.

SECOND PLAYTHROUGH: Enter the storage room and perform with Sullen Melody. If you use Score Piece 28 and get an A-Rank, you'll win an Amethyst Bracelet.

SECOND PLAYTHROUGH: Lonely Pitch is near the entrance of Andante, across from the Save Point. Perform with him and earn an A-Rank with Score Piece 20 to win an EZI Photo. Play Score Piece 23 and get an S-Rank to receive an Onyx Bracelet.

When you are ready to continue, enter the cave across from the shop.
