Remnant 2 is full of hidden areas and secrets to explore. One of these involves the music box-like water harp on Yaesha, which is tricky enough to solve as is. But did you know there’s a secret song you can play, one that’s different from the puzzle’s original solution?

One of the game’s achievements called “Carnage in C-Minor” requires you to play a secret song on the water harp. If you’re a completionist trying to 100-percent the game and all of its achievements, you’ll need to know the notes to play on the water harp.

Here’s how to play a secret song on the Yaesha water harp.

After you’ve solved the music box puzzle and chosen between the Doe and the Ravager, you might notice the Flautist is playing a song slightly different than the one before.

If you don’t want to figure the secret song out for yourself, though, no worries; it’s the same for everyone, so all you need to know is the order of the pegs to select.

To play the secret song, head to the music box and select the following pegs:

  • Third row: No peg
  • Fourth row: Second peg

Once you’ve selected all the pegs as shown in the video above, exit the music box screen and head to the left side of the device. You’ll need to pull the lever on the side of the structure to get the secret song to play. Afterward, a pop-up will say the achievement has been completed, and a pedestal will raise from the ground nearby. Inside the pedestal will be the Bolt Driver.

The Bolt Driver is a handgun with a base 26 damage. It needs to be charged up before firing a three-shot burst, so it may not be for everyone. If you’re looking to collect all the weapons in Remnant 2, though, you can cross that one off your list.
