Walkthrough
- This quest is hidden, and does not appear in your quest log until completed.
- You should have already completed The Old Monument & A Minstrel in Despair.
- Do not buy a parchment for the runes; that's only for the quest before this one.
- OPTIONAL: Talk with Mataligeat for some insight, then again to Mertaire for an interesting comment.
- Talk to Bki Tbujhja in Lower Jeuno again. She mentions another set of Song Runes in Valkurm Dunes.
- Head to the secret beach at the far west of Valkurm Dunes (C-6).
- The fastest way there is to use the Survival Guide warp for Gustav Tunnel.
- On the hidden beach, head southeast to the bottom right of (B-7).
- Click on the Song Rune for another cutscene to complete the quest.
