Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription Event Guide

Despite being a flagship event, the gameplay is just like any other rhythm musical game. There are 3 phases and each phase has something new for you to get used to.

---

Phase 1 - Commencement

There are 3 stages in the first phase of Inspiration Collection Progress - Dreamscape Rock:
1. March of Sweet Dreams
2. I Am Peppy
3. Hip Hop Underground

In the Inspiration Collection Progress, you need to complete multiple rhythm games (called musical challenges) to obtain stars and progress through the event. Each challenge has Easy and Hard mode.

Before you start the challenge, make sure to fix the calibration on the bottom left corner or you will have a hard time pressing the notes at the right time (speaking from experience here). The offset differs with the device so don't just follow others and try to calibrate on your own.

In the first phase, there is only one short note so all you need to do is press one button (space button if you're on PC) at the right time. In the easy mode, there is a line (called judgement line) to show you the best time to press the button.

But in the hard mode, the judgment line will disappear and you can only depend on the music and rhythm to press the button at the right time. This is where the calibration plays an important role. If the calibration is off, it will be hard to follow the music and press the button at the right time.

Extra Phase - Edit Track

Once you complete a phase, Rappa and her band will perform a musical performance. You will have 2 options to choose from but don't worry because it won't affect anything as you only need to listen.

When you choose any of the 2 preset plans, you also have the opportunity to edit the track. Tap on the music button shown in the image above to turn it on and off. Tap on the audio wave to listen to the track. Once you're satisfied, click on the 'Kick off the Show' to start performing.
Keep in mind that this does not affect anything (story/reward) in the event. The edited track will only continue to play in the central stage area of Paperfold University.

Phase 2 - Continuation

There are 3 stages in the second phase of Inspiration Collection Progress - Dynamic Disco:
1. Hymn Chorus
2. Snow Plains Photography
3. SoulGlad Idol Group

In the second phase, long notes will start to appear. When it appear, you need to press Space and hold for the corresponding number of beats.

Same as before, the judgment line will disappear in Hard mode, so you need to rely on the countdown and hint sounds (Although this is only for the Hymn Chorus stage and not the other 2 stages).
The other 2 stages (Snow Plains Photography and SoulGlad Idol Group) have no long notes but have their own unique theme on how to complete the challenge.

Phase 3 - Conclusion

There are 3 stages in the third phase of Inspiration Collection Progress - Profound Psychedelia:
1. Collegiate Zenith of Rapping
2. Rocket Launcher and Music
3. One, Two, Three... Billboards!

There are no more additions so all you need to do is either tap or hold the Space button when the beat comes. Of course, pay attention to the hint given such as the TV lighting up or the exclamation icon beside Hanu for the perfect time to hit the note.
