Just imagine the joy of personalizing your adventure with sounds that match your journey! 🎶 Now, let's dive into the juicy details of finding these winged wonders.
Finding the Musicflies: Locations and Rewards
Locating all three Musicflies in Vault Underground is a breeze if you know where to look, but it requires a keen eye and a bit of strategic waiting. Here's a quick reference table to summarize the key spots, rewards, and tips:
| Location | Musicfly Reward | Tips for Catching | Difficulty Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Echo Station | Melody Box, Time is Money | Wait between two sets of stairs; it flies back and forth below the platform stairs | ⭐⭐ (Easy) |
| Precious Metals and Artworks Depository | Melody Box Full Metal Alert! | Stand near the large staircase on the first floor; catch it when it lands close to the ground | ⭐⭐⭐ (Medium) |
| Echo Depository | Melody Box Entwined Footsteps | Position by the water fountain; grab it as it swoops down to the fountain base | ⭐ (Very Easy) |
Starting with the Echo Station, teleport to the Resonance Beacon and head into the nearby building. After making two left turns and exiting, you'll spot the Musicfly dancing between staircases. Players have shared that this one feels like a gentle warm-up—its predictable flight path makes it super approachable, but the suspense of waiting for it to dip low adds a fun twist. It rewards the Melody Box, Time is Money, which, when played later, has a nostalgic, ticking-clock vibe that perfectly complements dungeon crawls.
Next up is the Precious Metals and Artworks Depository. Teleport to the beacon, enter the building, and there it is, fluttering around that grand staircase on the first floor. This spot can be a bit trickier; the Musicfly tends to hover higher up, so you might need to linger patiently until it descends. Many players find this part meditative, almost like a zen moment amidst the chaos—who knew standing still could be so rewarding? 🧘♂️ The Melody Box Full Metal Alert! you earn here is an energetic track with metallic beats, ideal for high-stakes battles.
Finally, head north to the Echo Depository for the last Musicfly near the water fountain. Teleporting to the beacon puts you right next to it, and catching it is a snap as it frequently dips to the fountain's base. Out of all three, this one feels the most forgiving—almost as if the game is rewarding your persistence with a relaxing finale. The Melody Box Entwined Footsteps offers soft, melodic footsteps that echo through your adventures, making it a fan favorite for peaceful exploration sessions.
Once all Musicflies are caught, players can rush back to Aria Mummer in Ragunna City's City Square or at the Echo Station in Vault Underground to swap Melody Boxes for music tracks. Talking to Aria Mummer is a delight; she responds with cheerful animations, and selecting tracks feels like curating your personal concert. 🎵 The whole process, from hunting to listening, wraps up in about 20 minutes of gameplay, but the memories linger. Now, as we reflect on this update, it sparks bigger questions: What if there are secret Musicflies hidden in other Rinascita areas, waiting for players to stumble upon them in future patches? And with music playing such a pivotal role, could Kuro Games introduce collaborative tracks where community input shapes new melodies? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure—Vault Underground has set a high bar for immersive world-building!
