Back to Shovel Knight

Music Sheets are scattered throughout the various levels and villages of the game. Return them to the Bard in the Village for 500 gold each. The Bard already has 5 music sheets. Each sheet represents a song and you can ask the bard to play them. There are another 41 music sheets to find. I’ll list them in the order that you’re most likely to find them.

Plains

After killing the first dragon drop down three screens. Kill the skeleton and break the wall to the left. Head to the left for Music Sheet #1.

Make your way to the right, past the next checkpoint and up the ladder. Break the wall half-way up the right side of the screen and go through. Jump across the bubbles to Music Sheet #2.

Village

There are 5 Music Sheets that you can get from the village but only a few of them will be available right away.

For the first Music Sheet in this area walk to the right and take the ladder down to the bar. Walk to the right to the room where the kegs are stored and break the wall to the right. You’ll find Music Sheet #3.

Now walk back to the bar and break the wall to the left. Go through and speak to Mona. She offers to let you play a game for 100 Gold. Hit the potions back towards the targets. If you can score more than 150 points she’ll give you Music Sheet #4.

Head back up the ladder and walk to the right. When you see the lady carrying the buckets of water jump off her and onto the roof. On the roof to the right is a hard-to-see chest and Music Sheet #5.

Once you’ve defeated the Specter Knight return to the village and head down to the bar. Speak to one of the ladies and she’ll dance for you and reward you with Music Sheet #6.

The last one in this area can only be found once you’ve defeated the Treasure Knight, Plague Knight and Mole Knight. Head to the right side to find the Catapult. It’s part of a catapult system between the Village and Armor Outpost. Use the one in the Village to be flung up to an airship where you’ll find Music Sheet #7.

Troupple Pond

Fish off the end of the pier and you’ll find Music Sheet #8 along with a whole bunch of apples.

Pridemoor Keep

The first of two music sheets in Pridemoor Keep can be found by going left from the starting area. Ride the platform across the gap and drop down on the other side. You can dig the building above as you drop down to reveal gems. Music Sheet #9 is on the lower platform.

After defeating the knight and dropping down to a checkpoint dig the wall to the lower left. Head through to a room with moving platforms. In the center you’ll find Music Sheet #10.

The Lich Yard

Once you reach the checkpoint with the group of skeletons and the bomb on the dinner plate climb the ladder. Use the two bushes on the left like a ladder to make it up to the ledge on the top left. To the left is a dark screen with Music Sheet #11 and a ghost. You can only see where you’re going when lightning strikes.

About two thirds of the way through the level you’ll drop down to a large fireplace with two skeletons. To the left is Chester and to the right is a checkpoint. Knock the skeleton helmet on the ledge onto the platform below. When you stand on it the platform will lower so you can get across to the chest. Inside is Music Sheet #12.

Use the Phase Locket to make your way through the Forest of Phasing mini level. At the end you’ll find a chest with gems and Music Sheet #13 inside.

Explodatorium

The first music sheet on this level can be found just after the first checkpoint. Dig the wall to the right and hit the rat to make it explode. It will reveal a ladder heading up. Climb the ladder.

Make your way across the burners and moving platforms to the chest. Inside you’ll find gems and Music Sheet #14.

When you reach the area with slimes on breakable blocks with birds dropping exploding potions you’ll be close to the second music sheet. Make your way up the blocks to the right. Try to keep the last few intact. When the bird gets close jump on top of it to bounce up to the ledge to the right.

Run along to the right and break the blocks so you can drop down for Music Sheet #15.

On the next screen use the fire fish and the platforms to jump across the lava to the right. Open the chest at the end for Music Sheet #20.

Continue through the level until you reach an area where you need to turn lava into green bouncy slime. There’s three steps of lava that you can turn to slime. Instead of diving down the hole with the gems jump across to the top of the ledge on the right.
