Story Context
Grace heads inside the Antiphon Building when the Producer shows up and tells her to turn back. She warns Grace that going any further will uncover the truth, opening a path of no return outside of these endless cycles, afraid of the events ahead. Grace then comes to a realization that the Producer has entered this world's recollection to prevent it from moving forward. She cannot accept that, and so they settle with a fight.
Level Gimmicks
This song is locked to Grace in her STΔRLIVHT STΔGE Style. The HP bar is replaced with a unique bar called Duel Gauge that starts at a rate of 0% and is required to fill to at least 80% in order to clear the Verse. Hitting notes will increase the gauge, but missing notes and getting hit will decrease it even after getting a rate of 80%+. The gauge will be counted and then refreshed back to 0% at the end of each Verse. Failing to pass the threshold at the end of the Verse will fail it.
Strategies
Being impossible to get a game over, it's best to not raise the HP stat in exchange for other stats such as ATK and SPC to increase the amount of rate gained per note. AA HP is enough for both perk and damage reduction here.
Lyrics
|
♣ Come, don't be scared
♣ There's naught for you back there
♣ Let's face our tomorrow
♣ The fate that we share |
|
♣ Don't let sorrow make you close your eyes
♣ We'll overcome your fears
♣ If it's dark, fight for a brighter future still
♣ 'cause in painful truth we'll find
♣ We can right it all with time |
|
♣ Cross blades with me and in the end,
♣ Braver shall we be
♣ (Braver shall we be) |
|
♣ (Braver shall we be) |

Trivia
- The composition of Crossroads of the Brave was heavily based on a story BGM that is commonly used before battles or to signify a standoff. This similarity can be most clearly heard in the song's intro.
- This BGM is one of the few not uploaded to Jamphibious' SoundCloud, so unlike many of the others, it does not have a known name.
- This song was originally hinted at in the form of a puzzle solution to the puzzle contained in the NEWSZ stream on August 5th through August 6th of 2023.
- The first portion of the puzzle, a continuous list of cards, spelled out the artists names for the True Heroes Chapter 5 songs, and for Crossroads of the Brave, it was “IRIS” and “MIYOLOPHONE.”
- In 3.510, the boss art was changed to better fit with the art for other Duel Gauge songs.
- This is the only song to have had it's boss art changed after release.
- The previous boss art was re-used in with my last breath (Stellar Linkage).
