SCENE 8 - THE HALLS QUITE CONTRARY

Location: Queen Mary's Castle

Maps: Map 1

As you may have noticed, there's a large castle in Magicant. It's the home of Queen Mary, the ruler of all you see. However, her guards have access restricted to all who enter -- save the clever person who can figure out their riddle. Cheating with telepathy is highly recommended!
The halls of her castle are littered with presents. While not many of them are super-useful, there is one room with 6 presents. There's a catch to this room, though: once you open a box, the rest empty. The best choice is the Boomerang. If you equip it, your offense will be bolstered for quite a while. While the capsule looks tantalizing, it raises a stat that only has an effect during a level-up, making it useless.
Talking with Queen Mary, she'll relay the sad tale of her recent troubles. She'll also reveal the importance of the eight melodies you've been collecting. She'll ask for a favor of finding them all; as the only one able to help her, accept!
