"The Bard's Tail"
Spoiler Page

Here it is the Full Walkthrough for all of you that think you need it.
(FYI: This is for the version entered in the Spring Dream Contest...
somethings are slightly different in the current version on Allegria Island)
Part 1
Graceland

This one is already given out in the game and not really needed... the first DS I ever did...
Use the Lute to get in and Drum to get out. Step on both candles one will light them so you can read the note.
The note is the first clue to let you know about the portals... as well as begin the search for Aalegro.
You don't have to do this to complete the Quest.

Part 2
The House of Blues

This is Aalegro's Home... Saying HOME at anytime anywhere on the map will bring you here.
Get in using a string instrument by the front door, but you can't get out except through the Portal using a Drum (or other items with percussion effects).
Two "auto notes" on on the desk and one by the statue give clues for the storyline, Three books have more clues as well as open the 3 locked Portal positions when you play the piano. If you have the Gig Bag or Master Strat already all you have to do it knock the book off the shelf and use Piano.
Book 1 opens the portal to the outside, book 2 opens the portal to the Velvet Underground (Gig Bag needed) and book 3 opens the portal to the Hard Rock Cafe... the VIP section if you have the Master Strat.

Part 3
The Forest and Misty Mountains

There is an axe hidden behind the house that I added to chop trees, or walk to the mountains and use a Lute to make the Mountains "Hop" and you can get through, or use a drum to break the Rock in front of the Freebird Statue and bump it to get the Gig Bag (access to the Velvet Underground via the House of Blues Portal).
Originally you had to get through that and chop your way through trees to get the Gig Bag and in the process people stumbled onto the "Grateful Dead". You can't get through from this side and it really drives people crazy when they try.

Part 4
The Velvet Underground

This is the Band's main hangout and practice room.
Clues at the Desk of course and some other effects just for fun.
To open the secret door you find you must play a Stringed Instrument in front of the Aalegro Statue. It tells you it's "Hammer Time" so go pick up the Hammer and run through the secret door and down the hall.
When you hear the door open sound or see the "you feel a draft" message turn right as it's a false wall, then use the hammer on the rocks and "Break on Through to the Other Side".

Part 5
The Grateful Dead

Once you've busted in via the back way, push the rock as far as you can, then bump a Gravestone to make a shovel drop. Use the shovel facing the center Gravestone and you open the way to the backstage.
Push a couple of more Rocks at the back to make a passage on through and down the hall you find Aalegro and he drops the Master Strat at your feet. When you pick it up he'll ask if you got what it takes to be in the Band or some such thing. If you say Yes it starts a timer for the next part of the Quest. If you say No or ignore him you still have the Master Strat and VIP access at the Hard Rock Cafe.
 
Part 6
Race Against Time

If you said Yes when you picked up the Master Strat a timer starts and you have x minutes to gather up all the Band's Equipment. (only one person can do this part at a time) You walk through the crate just across from where you got the Master Strat and you're in the front of Grateful Dead again. The one crate there is the crate you need to pick up ... but not yet! You need to clear the way back to the Velvet Underground.... Break the Barrels (yes the Strat can break barrels and rocks) and the rock THEN pick up the Crate and run ithrough up the passage through the short cut. Now all you have to do is run around and bump each item of the Band's equipment. Amp, keyboard, gig bag, lute, and drum. Once you have everthing just step on the Express Portal to the Hard Rock Cafe... it won't take you until you have everything.

Part 7
The Hard Rock Cafe

When you have the Crate you can pretty much walk across the dance floor, it won't bump you back to the beginning but will kind of bounce you around a bit. When you get up on stage drop the Crate on the Dark Tile and the Master Strat appears at your feet. Pick it up and check out all the effects and songs you can play. You're performance is also on a timer in case there's someone else wanting to do the Quest. When the timer runs out Aalegro and all the equipment vanish again, but anyone can still get up on stage to "perform" if they can get across the dance floor.

Chapter 2: The Dragon's Den

There are 2 ways to get to the Sleeper (Dragon) and fight him, but he won't show up until the Tomb is open.
You have to chop your way through Neverwood with an axe until you clear away to a tombstone almost hidden in the mountains.
Once the way is clear you need to get the shovel and use it on the tombstone which will open the tomb.
Once it is open you can use the portal if you have the master key to bypass the tomb maze or you can try the tomb maze.
It's a little tricky but can be done. Then try your hand at fighting the Sleeper using the Singing Sword.
Have Fun!
