Musicbox Trophy Tip: Play Melodies From Cabinet

Did you know: if you have a trophy for collecting all five musicboxes in a set (like the DG, BB or DB trophy) you can play their melodies directly from it, like this?

It's true. The trophy has to be on display (ie on the shelf, not inside the cabinet) and you don't get any of the XP rewards (or energy penalties), but if you want to hear that rousing spaghetti western tune from DG-5, you can now do it without rummaging in your inventory (or on your floor) for the actual box.

I haven't tried this myself, but I'm told you can even do this if you no longer own the boxes.

(This might not be news to everyone, but it surprised me.)

  • Funny you should call out the DG-5...I carry around that one around to play it whenever the mood strikes. Sometimes repeatedly.

  • Owning the box means that it's in your inventory.

  • Verified that this works, you click on the trophy and then a little play arrow appears next to each box when you hover. Thanks for the tip. :D

  • Cool, didn't know that. Does that work even if you don't own the musicblocks themselves anymore?

  • @Nevet It does. :)

  • That's neat.  And since I get rid of music boxes almost as fast as I pick them up (except for my two GNG blocks) it's good to know that I'll be able to listen to them that way. 

    You don't have to keep the blocks in your inventory or chest or house floor, btw, in case anybody is 'holding onto them' in perpetuity in order to get the trophys.  It apparently just keeps track of which blocks you've owned at least once in the past and checks that off on an internal checklist. 

    I got a bunch of my awards when I finally started exploring the fire-bog area, because there are apparently blocks that only spawn in specific locations and I finally had gotten around to exploring those areas.

  • Parrow, that is partially true. Some trophies activate when you have touched all 5 trophies, but for a few of them I had to hold one of each at the same time to activate the trophy. Maybe it was a bug, but I had all the xs boxes on my floor and no trophy until I did that.
