FAQ

What is the song that plays during the Hemlock fight?

Hemlock has three tracks across his fight: Burn the Stage (P1, 168 BPM), Sold Out (P2, 172 BPM) and Maniac (Radio Edit) in the encore. Hard Mode swaps P2 to Maniac (Punk Version) at 178 BPM.

What is the BPM of every boss song?

BPMs range from 100 (Strings P1) to 215 (Blood P4). The full list with phase and genre is in the table above. Strings P3 (Cadenza) is variable — it plays in 5/4 with shifting tempo.

Are boss songs available in Free Play?

Yes, after you defeat the Idol once. Boss songs unlock individually as Free Play tracks (Hologram, Maniac, Shred Protocol, Bar Drop, etc.). Only Cadenza requires the Composer’s Score quest item to unlock.

What is the hardest boss song to S-rank?

Annihilation (Blood P4, 215 BPM) and Cadenza (Strings P3, variable 5/4). Annihilation is the BPM ceiling; Cadenza is the only chart that breaks the standard 4/4 grid. Most leaderboard-tier players S-rank Annihilation before Cadenza.

Are there boss-song remixes?

Yes. Maniac has Radio Edit and Punk Version variants (Hard P2). Rhythm Divine, Mission and Echolokators are radio-edit versions of the in-fight songs that play during The Encore quest dialogue.
