Shovel Knight Music Sheet Locations

Music Sheet Locations





Shovel Knight has one of the best soundtracks of the year, but the music also plays into the game itself. Scattered around the world are music sheets, which can be returned to the village Bard. He then gives an amusing quip, pays 500 gold, and offers to play the song at any time.





Listed below are the locations for all 46 music sheets.

#	Title	Location
1	Main Theme	Bard has it already.
2	Steel Thy Shovel	Bard has it already.
3	One Fateful Knight	Bard has it already.
4	A Decisive Blow	Bard has it already.
5	No Weapons Here	Bard has it already.
6	Pastorale	The music sheet is on a roof on the right side of the village. Jump on the girl carrying the water buckets when she's near the house to get up there.
7	The Local Happenstance	There's a tavern in the village, and to the right of that is a cellar. The room has a few people in it including a frog man. The music sheet is hidden in the wall next to that man, just hit it with the shovel.
8	Courage Under Fire	Climb the ladder in the Armor Outpost and drop from the left side of the airship onto a roof. Head to the right and get the music sheet on the rooftop.
9	Bucklers and Bonnets	Once Treasure Knight, Mole Knight, and Plague Knight have been defeated, head back to the village. Jump in the new catapult to get thrown on top of the Armor Outpost airship. The music sheet is right there.
10	Waltz of the Troupple King	Go to Troupple Pond and take out the fishing rod. Fish in the water to get the music sheet and a bunch of apples.
11	Watch Me Dance	After defeating Specter Knight, return to the tavern and speak to one of the women there. She'll do a flashy dance and give the player a music sheet.
12	Spin Ye Bottle	To the left of the tavern is a mini-game room. Talk to Mona to start the mini-game and score 150 or more points to obtain the music sheet.
13	Fighting With All of Our Might	Defeat Reize the Wandering Traveler on the world map. He will appear after defeating a few boss knights.
14	Donor's Despair	Enter the Hall of Champions and climb the ladder. Go to the top left room, find the hidden wall on the left, and jump over the invisible gaps on the platform to reach the music sheet.
15	Backed Into a Corner	Climb the main ladder and head to the bottom right room. The right wall contains a hidden area with the music sheet.
16	Starlit Wilds	Complete Knuckler's Quarry stage (requires dust knuckles).
17	The Requiem of Shield Knight	Complete Frozen Flight stage (requires propeller dagger).
18	The Adventure Awaits	Complete Forest of Phasing stage (requires phase locket).
19	End of Days	Found in the Tower of Fate: Entrance, in the room with the moving walls (after the first checkpoint). There will be a small area next to some spikes that provides safety from the falling ceiling. Destroy the wall to the right to find the hidden music sheet.
20	Strike the Earth	In the Plains stage, dig to the left of the skeleton near the spike pit that comes after the first dragon mini-boss. The secret area contains a music sheet.
21	The Rival	In the Plains, there is a room with two moving platforms that go up/down and left/right. Take the left/right platform to access an area with the music sheet. Shovel drop on the bubbles to reach the sheet.
22	The Defender	In the Tower of Fate: Ascent, there's a part where you have to guide a rainbow statue across the map. Get across the bottomless pits and then lead the statue to the right wall to find the music sheet.
23	The Halls of the Usurper	In Pridemoor Keep, head left from the starting area to find the music sheet and a cool little easter egg.
24	The Decadent Dandy	After the second Gryphon mini-boss in Pridemoor Keep, head to the next checkpoint and dig out the left wall to find the music sheet.
25	La Danse Macabre	In the Lich Yard there will be a chest below a checkpoint with the music sheet. It's next to a weighted platform, so find a skeleton skull to hit onto the platform, wait for the platform to sink, and then go retrieve the chest.
26	The Apparition	After the second checkpoint in the Lich Yard will be a room with two shrubs to the left. Shovel drop on the first shrub twice to reach the higher one and head to the left. The music sheet in this room is guarded by a ghost, so exercise caution here.
27	A Thousand Leagues Below	In the Iron Whale, find the room where the tentacles first appear. Look for a shell in the right wall and dig it to find a hidden area. Use the bubbles to retrieve the chest, hop back on the tentacles, and then fish where the first tentacle was to get the music sheet.
28	A Thousand Leagues Below (II)	Pay attention to the right walls after the third checkpoint to find the hidden area. Jump on the platforms and tentacles to reach the music sheet.
29	Flowers of Antimony	A room after the second checkpoint in Explodatorium contains slimes and potion throwing ravens. The ravens can destroy the raised platforms, but don't let them destroy the ones near the end. They can be used to reach the ceiling and the music sheet.
30	The Vital Vitriol	After the first checkpoint in Explodatorium, destroy the rats to the right and head up. Climb the ladder to reach the music sheet.
31	An Underlying Problem	Following the second checkpoint in Lost City are rocks that cause chain explosions. Don't hit the second set of blocks. Instead, climb them to reach an area with the music sheet. Be careful jumping on the fire fish to reach the sheet.
32	The Claws of Fate	Lost City contains a room in which lava must be turned green to safely traverse it. When you get to lava that looks like stairs, turn it green, jump off the top stair to the right and navigate through the next room to reach the music sheet.
33	Of Devious Machinations	At the second checkpoint in Clockwork Tower, jump up to the top left ladder and go into the next area. Use the mobile gear to get to the music sheet.
34	The Schemer	Climb up from the first checkpoint in Clockwork Tower and ignore the middle ladder. Go behind the gear-tossing enemy to get to the next area with the music sheet.
35	The Destroyer	After the third checkpoint in Clockwork Tower, go under the area where the enemy was tossing gears to reach the pink diamond. Keep going left and then up (past some gems and a sparkling pit) to get to the music sheet.
36	A Cool Reception	There are some ice dragons in Stranded Ship after the fourth checkpoint. When you see the music sheet, shovel drop on the dragon to get some height and reach it.
37	The Stalwart	Again, after the fourth checkpoint in Stranded Ship look for an ice wizard to the top left. Go past him to reach a room with icy platforms. Jump across the moving platforms and retrieve the music sheet.
38	High Above the Land	When you get to the area with the wizard in Flying Machine, defeat him and jump up there. Destroy the right wall and climb the ladder. Use the propeller dagger to cross the pit and get the music sheet.
39	The Spin Controller	There's a room in Flying Machine where propellers blow air up at a ladder. You want to get to the right wall next to the propellers, but to do so you need to get some height and drop down into a secret alcove. Head right across the spike pits to reach Chester and the propeller dagger. Fly to the right and use the fishing rod in the sparkling pit to obtain the music sheet.
40	The Fateful Return	In the Tower of Fate: Entrance, there will be a dark and rainy area. Keep an eye out for a sparkling pit while jumping across the platforms and get that fishing rod out to retrieve the music sheet.
41	The Inner Struggle	After the third checkpoint in Tower of Fate: Ascent, there will be an auto-scrolling room. Keep ahead of it and look for the music sheet. It's not hard to spot, but you have to be fast to avoid instant death.
42	The Forlorn Sanctum	The last five music sheets can be found in the final level of Tower of Fate. After falling through multiple screens into a dark room, head to the left. Go over the tiles and past the lava into a room with the music sheets and some other goodies.
