Starting "The Rhythm that Reveals the Beastly Trail"

To unlock this quest, you must first complete the "In the Mountains" World Quest in Sumeru. This will allow you to access the NPC Arakavi near the Yasna Monument domain.

Speak with Arakavi and she will explain that her friend Araj, a scholar, has gone missing while researching some ruins in Devantaka Mountain. She will ask you to search along the beastly trail for clues regarding his whereabouts.

Speak with Arakavi to start the quest

Accepting the quest will open up your first objective – find Arama and Aradasa at the entrance to the ruins.

Locating Arama & Aradasa

Both NPCs can be found together standing outside a sealed cave entrance in northern Devantaka Mountain. Teleport to the nearby Statue of the Seven and travel east down the mountain.

  • Specific coordinates: (X:2781, Y:2225)

When you speak with Arama and Aradasa they will explain that the way forward is obscured, but can be illuminated by the Sumeru Roses growing nearby.

Check the stone tablet beside them which shows an abstract diagram depicting directions. This is the clue for how to light the roses!

Lighting All 5 Sumeru Roses

Walk over to the cluster of Sumeru Roses and look at their formation. You must stand in a specific spot that lights all 5 roses up simultaneously.

Each rose represents one direction – front, left, right, behind, and center. Align yourself based on the diagram until all 5 illuminate at once.

This may take several tries experimenting with different positions. Once successful, pull out the Vintage Lyre and play the melody "Do – So – La – Mi – Do" while standing amid the lit roses.

Playing this short melody will remove the corruption from the cave entrance opening up the path ahead.

Playing the Song to Unlock the Road

Follow the road heading southeast from Arama and Aradasa‘s position. You will come across a large corrupted flower blocking the way surrounded by a Withering Zone.

Stand near this flower and take out the Vintage Lyre again. This time play the full melody called "The Rhythm that Reveals the Beastly Trail." Input the notes slowly and correctly to successfully play the song.

Playing this longer tune will dispel the corruption here and open up the tunnel leading underground.

Cleansing the Underground Withering Zone

Proceed into the cave, using Pyro attacks to light torches and illuminate the darkened tunnel. At the end you‘ll find another large corrupted flower.

Stand near this rear flower and play "The Rhythm that Reveals the Beastly Trail" song once more on the Vintage Lyre. This will reveal a hidden Withering Branch that must be destroyed to proceed.

Next, use the Dendro Elemental Skill to summon the Dendrograna crystal entity. Use its jumping slam move to smash all of the Withering Branches around this cave.

There is also a Withering Tumor growth on the ceiling that must be destroyed. Grab the green Four-Leaf Sigils to climb the wall and reach it.

With all of the Withering corruption cleansed, you can move forward.

Completing the Beastly Trail Melodies

After clearing the underground cave, go back and play "The Rhythm that Reveals the Beastly Trail" on the Vintage Lyre in front of that rear flower one final time. This will open up a gap in the floor.

Carefully drop down the hole to the next area below. Here you will face an ambush of 3x Fungi enemies – defeat them to collect 3x Primeval Rosin items that are needed to unlock the domain.

Next, move ahead and play the song again in front of a third corrupted flower. Doing so will summon a large bouncy mushroom you can use to reach another high ledge.

Time your jumps atop the bouncing mushroom to collect the second Primeval Rosin up on the ledge.

Hit the plant ahead with Dendro to grow some Four-Leaf Sigils and climb up to the area with the third and final Primeval Rosin.

Final Domain Area

After collecting all 3 Primeval Rosin items, drop down the opening into the final domain-like area. Place the Primeval Rosin into the mechanisms around the locked door.

Activating all three will unlock the door, allowing you to challenge the domain filled with elite enemies. Defeat them using the best characters and attacks at your disposal.

Once victorious, open the Precious Chest inside to complete "The Rhythm that Reveals the Beastly Trail" and claim your rewards!

Tips and Strategies

Here are some additional tips to help overcome tricky sections:

  • For lighting the Sumeru Roses, standing on top of them helps align your position.
  • Mark key locations like flowers and mushrooms on the map to make playing songs easier.
  • Inside the domain, focus on defeating the Ice Mage first to prevent freezing.
  • Wait until just leaving the edge before spamming jump for max bouncy mushroom height.
  • Stock up on healing foods, as enemies hit hard in final domain area.

While the puzzles and challenges can be frustrating at times, the satisfaction of completing this quest makes it worthwhile. The music-based progression creates such a unique and mystical atmosphere.
