SCROOMS How to Get Sorin's Last Verse
Clear Sorin's Respite quests, finish the trial, then buy the Last Verse from Ico.
Sorin’s Last Verse is the signature catching instrument of Sorin’s Respite in SCROOMS. Completing the regional quest spine and purchasing the instrument also awards The Last Verse badge. The spelling on official badges and item cards is Sorin; community chat sometimes writes Soren or Sojourn — same region.
This walkthrough covers opening the Respite, Ilya’s notes, Yumi’s Kitsura request, graffiti / level gates, Ico’s Petaldrake turn-in, Sorin’s trial, and the final Chime purchase. Quest counters and prices can shift; trust the live panel. Pair with instruments, the tier list, and areas.
Prerequisites and opening Sorin’s Respite
Finish early Grove systems first: Leo’s lute, Tamer’s Guitar, Ocarina, and Songtreads so Bluestone Approach and later doors are reachable. Open Sorin’s Respite by completing the cavern dynamite-wall style objective that unlocks the garden. Some creator routes mention mid-30s level checks — read the live NPC requirement rather than treating any single number as permanent.
Bring a Resonance-correct mid instrument (Deepchord is the usual Bluestone bridge) and leave backpack space for quest Scrooms. Auto-sell filters have ruined more Petaldrake turn-ins than failed minigames.
Step 1 — Ilya’s four notes
Talk to Ilya in the garden and accept the four-note recovery task. Community routes place notes roughly as:
- Outside the cave entrance area
- Behind a tree in the garden
- Inside a hut
- Reached by climbing and crossing above the garden paths
Collect all four, return to Ilya, and confirm the objective clears before chasing the next NPC. Catch and sell commons between note hunts so the walk still pays XP and Chimes — see Level Up Fast.
Step 2 — Yumi’s Kitsura request
Yumi asks for a Wondrous Kitsura (or the rarity text shown on your live quest card). Kitsura is a Sorin’s Respite Index species; keep rare garden catches until the objective completes. Recordings often show this stage around the mid-40s level band — again, confirm in-game.
If Kitsura will not appear, check Index frequency notes, weather, and whether your instrument Resonance covers the band. Luck dishes from Cooking Recipes help; swapping to a higher-Luck tool from the tier list can matter more than raw playtime.
Step 3 — Graffiti gate and Ico’s Petaldrake
Around level 50, routes send you to a graffiti location to read the wall text. The quest then points toward Ico after the next level requirement (recordings cite the early 50s). Catch a Petaldrake — the location’s Fabled species — and hand it to Ico. Do not sell Petaldrake while this hand-in is active.
Ico advances the chain toward Sorin’s trial once the Petaldrake is accepted.
Step 4 — Sorin’s trial
Equip Songtreads or other speed boots. Run to the pedestal and follow the portal as it opens. Portal direction can change between attempts — move toward the visible opening instead of memorizing a fixed compass bearing. Finish the trial interaction, then return to Ico.
Failed timing usually means you lost the portal, not that the quest broke. Retry with clearer camera angles and fewer inventory menus open.
Buy Sorin’s Last Verse
After the trial return, Ico offers Sorin’s Last Verse for a recorded 28,000 Chimes. Read the live purchase card, buy it, then open Equipment Bag → Instruments and press Equip. Confirm The Last Verse badge. Community passive text describes a second chance after losing a Scroom, resuming around 20% progress — treat your equipped card as truth.
Where Last Verse sits in progression
Sorin’s Respite also hosts vendor tools such as Lotus Hymn and Stillwater Flute on community price sheets. Last Verse is the quest crown of the region and a common Resonance bridge into Sanctum Magus content, including routes toward Magus’ Requiem. Keep Deepchord for Runic farms; keep Forest Spirit’s Lyre when you specifically want Verdant rolls.
After the unlock:
- Push Sanctum Magus Index rows and Iblis when ready
- Continue Chime banking toward Soaring Tone, Tall Trees boards, and eventually Mothwing
- Use Crescendo Valley repeatables for levels toward the 250 cap — Crescendo Valley Update
- Recheck NPC Locations if you lose Ilya, Yumi, or Ico landmarks after a patch

Sorin’s Last Verse is done when The Last Verse badge is earned, the instrument is equipped, and Ico’s purchase step is no longer blocking the Respite spine.
