Chapter 4 of Deltarune hides a secret boss that’s easier to access than the **Chapter 3 arcade-based fight** but requires puzzle-solving with sheet music and thorough exploration.
Golden Piano Puzzle
- Find the golden piano room mid-chapter.
- **Three hidden sheet music pages** are required to unlock the boss.
- Missable: Progressing too far (e.g., completing the second sanctuary) can permanently block access to one sheet.
Sheet Music Locations
1. Behind the Waterfall
- Return to the donation box area – the first sheet is hidden behind the waterfall.
- Warning: Unavailable after advancing past the second sanctuary.
2. Shadow Room
- In the dark area where “Jockington grows a beard,” climb the upper-left wall.
3. Tea Room Area
- Near the old man’s study – backtrack to find a concealed side path.
Triggering the Fight
- Play the completed tune on the golden piano to initiate the boss battle.
Boss Strategy
- Not the toughest, but the final phase demands focus.
- Use **Susie’s heal** and **Vampire Axe** for survivability.
- Ignore the Shadow Mantle – it has no effect here.
- Reward: **Shadow Crystal**, consistent with earlier secret bosses.
Note: Rumors suggest earlier choices (e.g., tea scene) may alter the boss’s “shadow version,” but core mechanics remain unchanged.
