SCROOMS How to Get Magus' Requiem

Magus’ Requiem (sometimes searched as Magus Piano or Archmage’s Requiem) is the Sanctum Magus quest instrument in SCROOMS. Completing The Magus’ Requiem with Iblis awards the catch tool and the Magus’ Heir badge. Unlike Soaring Tone or Runed Horn, it is not a simple vendor shelf buy — you earn it through a Runic hand-in, a paid Deep Halls run, three keys, and a piano recovery.

This guide covers prerequisites, the Runic trio, Deep Halls entry, key recovery, equip steps, and how the Requiem fits mid-to-late progression. Cross-check live quest text and Chime quotes; Early Access numbers move. Pair with the instruments catalog, instrument tier list, and areas guide.

Prerequisites before Iblis

Reach Sanctum Magus with a Resonance kit that can farm the zone’s Index rows. Community routes usually expect you to already own mid tools such as Deepchord (16,000 Chimes after Pell’s Bluestone chain) because the quest asks for Runic variants — Deepchord’s Runic-oriented passive is what most players use when hunting the trio. Song of Passage at a sigil door is the commonly reported Sanctum entry method; finish Grove Ocarina songs first if the gate will not open. See How to Get the Ocarina and NPC Locations.

Bring spare inventory space. Do not auto-sell every Runic catch while the quest is active. If you use sell scripts, whitelist Sigilith, Inkling, and Occulot first — see the risk notes on Scripts.

How to get Magus' Requiem in SCROOMS

Start The Magus’ Requiem with Iblis

Find Iblis inside Sanctum Magus and accept The Magus’ Requiem when the dialogue is available. The opening objective asks for three Runic Sanctum Scrooms:

1. Runic Sigilith
2. Runic Inkling
3. Runic Occulot

Plain (non-Runic) copies do not satisfy the named objective. Keep matching Runic catches even if you caught them before accepting the quest — recorded runs count existing backpack matches.

Farm Sanctum Magus with Deepchord equipped when you specifically want Runic rolls. Runic is still a chance, not a guarantee. Cooking Luck dishes from Cooking Recipes help rare tags; sell Commons and non-quest variants to fund the Deep Halls entry fee that comes next.

Submit the trio and enter the Deep Halls

Hand the full Runic set to Iblis. The objective advances to recovering the Archmage’s piano. Read Iblis’s Deep Halls entry quote carefully. Community recordings cite about 32,000 Chimes to enter — confirm the live card. Whether a failed run refunds the fee is unconfirmed, so enter prepared.

Inside the halls:

1. Approach the seal and use Break the Seal (E on PC in recordings) so the three-key objective appears.
2. Search the library corridors for three keys. There is no verified fixed map; keys can feel randomly placed between runs.
3. Avoid the creature that patrols the halls. It is an obstacle, not a catch objective.
4. After the third key, the final room opens in successful recordings. Recover the piano itself — a key or doorway is not the piano.
5. Leave and return to Iblis to finish the dialogue.

If the instrument does not appear, finish the return conversation before paying for another entry.

Claim Magus’ Requiem and Magus’ Heir

Iblis awards Magus’ Requiem on the completed return. Open Equipment Bag → Instruments, equip it, and close the bag. Confirm the Magus’ Heir badge on your badge list for completing The Magus’ Requiem. Titles such as Keeper of the Requiem also track this quest on community title sheets.

Community passive notes describe a slow start that ramps into higher speed with harder control (sometimes labeled Unsealing-style text). Trust your live card over copied percentages. Resonance and family feel still matter more than a single passive line when you move into Tall Trees or Crescendo Valley bands.

How Magus’ Requiem fits the instrument ladder

Sanctum Magus also sells Runed Horn (~32,000 Chimes) and Soaring Tone (~35,000 Chimes). The Requiem is the quest crown of that region — obtain it when you can afford the Deep Halls fee and already farm Runic rolls reliably. Do not skip Sorin’s Last Verse if you still need Resonance coverage for Sanctum Eversung targets; some community notes place Last Verse / Acute setups before the hardest Sanctum pulls.

After the Requiem:

• Recheck ranks on the instrument tier list.
• Keep Deepchord for Runic money hours when the Requiem’s family or band is wrong for the spawn.
• Push toward Tall Trees tools, Keytaria, and Mothwing only after your mid kit and Chime income are stable.
• Track level progress toward the 250 cap with Level Up Fast and Crescendo repeatables on the Crescendo Valley page.

Common failures

• Turning in non-Runic Sigilith / Inkling / Occulot
• Selling the Runic trio before Iblis accepts them
• Entering Deep Halls without ~32k Chimes buffered
• Leaving without recovering the piano, then wondering why Iblis will not finish
• Equipping the Requiem but forgetting to close the Equipment Bag during tutorial-style checks

Magus’ Requiem is complete when Magus’ Heir is on your badges, the instrument is equipped from the bag, and Iblis no longer lists The Magus’ Requiem as an open objective.
