Third Floor

Navigate the challenging Third Floor of Eternal Strands! Learn the song patterns, avoid pitfalls, and ascend to new heights with this expert guide.

Alright, you've made it to the Third Floor! First things first, find Quintet and have a chat with him. Your main task here is to play through three songs. You'll play the first two, which you should already be familiar with (refer to those diagrams if you need a refresher), and then a brand new third song. This third song is where things get a little tricky.

The diagram below shows the layout for the third song. The numbers indicate the order you need to press the keys. It looks like this:

Third Song Pattern:

         __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
        |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
        |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
        |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |1 |3 |  |2 |  |  |  |
        |  |__|  |__|  |__|  |  |__|  |__|  |  |__|  |__|  |__|  |  |
        |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
        |__|  |__|  |__|  |__|__|  |__|  |__|__|  |__|  |__|  |__|__|

Now, here's the catch: Quintet doesn't actually light up the keys for the first two songs, so you'll have to rely on memory or the diagrams. Pay close attention! If you mess up too many times during these songs, Quintet will eventually just light up all the keys, which is probably not what you want. The good news is you can take your sweet time with these; there's no rush at all, so don't feel pressured.

Once you nail that third song and complete the trial, a new staircase will appear. Just head up it to continue your journey.
