Defeat the Lv 1-10 monsters of the Devils Aria
How abouts do you go about doing this? do you have to just not level the music skill? or do you choose which level of the song/monster you wanna fight up to your current music level? I am not at the point yet just curious how it works so I can plan for it.

Someone on gamefaqs said that you can select what level of the song to play up to your current music level. I can't confirm this yet but I'm sure someone on here is at endgame and can.

the two last instruments are in the maze of tribulations(on expel after you beat the game and go back to fun city with the save that has a star), i think the one to compose devil's aria was gotten after defeating the boss on floor 13.

Haven't quite beaten the maze yet, but as far as the piano song that summons regular monsters goes, you can choose which monster pack you want to choose.
So in other words, a level 10 musician can play all the songs and fight all the monsters from the looks of it.

yes you can choose the level from devil's aria as well. for the other one you get to choose a zone of monsters to fight, which will only roll between monsters that you havent fought before. this is useful to complete the 80% monster identified challenge to get opera's end game weapon

As has been said, you get to choose what level of Devil's Aria to play.

IC in general has been made way more user friendly.

1. They show you what talents and support items an IC skill use.
2. They show you what items are crafted by a specific IC. They start as ???? so you know if you're missing something.
3. Writing is completely overpowered. You choose what book to make, so that's 10 skills that you can get to level 7 basically for free, saving you literally thousands of SP.
4. Blacksmithing lets you choose to use the Magical Rasp or not, so no need to buy and sell it to make different stuff.

There's probably more that I'm forgetting. Aside from the insane SP costs of high-level skills, IC is massively improved over the original.

I feel like the increased costs are compensated by the fact that you can get massive amounts of sp/bp outisde of level ups now. More than worth it for all the QoL they added to IC.

You can play any song that is at your character's Music level or lower (e.g., at L10 Music, you can still play the L4 song, etc.)

You only need to do the L10 song/boss for the achievement; the other level/songs are optional.

When you play the song you get an option to play level 1 through 10 of your choice.

I feel its been made way to easy if you ask me. I got the Aterna already on universe right after the Laceur tournament, it pretty much melts everything with a Berserker ring and meteor ring. Berserker ring is broken as hell, it doubles final damage it seems. I basically never use killer moves with Claude because it just does way less dps than just normal attacking.

That can be done almost as easily in the original too.
