Walkthrough[edit]
Once active, the event will mark a circular area around each of the Barrels of Torches. Head to one of the barrels and interact with it to gain your dance skills.
The event alternates between a practice period, and a 20 seconds performance period. During the practice period, Una will perform a series of four dance moves, each one matching a different skill from skills 1–4; each of the four skills will be used once and only once. When she has finished, the performance period starts and you must enter the same sequence of skills. Repeating a sequence correctly will cause you to release fireworks on each correct skill. An incorrect skill will cause you to be knocked down for several seconds; if this happens, Una will now be expecting the next skill in the sequence instead of allowing you to correct your previous attempt, so adjust accordingly. When you have entered all four skills (or if you run out of time), Una will grade your performance and credit the event bar corresponding to your area. Note that a dance skill can be canceled early by walking, allowing you to enter the sequence quickly.
The dance moves consist of (1) Praise the Sun—a celebratory roar, (2) Sow the Fields—a side-to-side shuffle, (3) Collect the Harvest—an in-place shuffle, and (4) Chase the Prey—walking in place. The roar is easy to identify. The last three are difficult to distinguish, but have decreasing sideways motion — (2) has the most sideways movement of the three while (4) has none. While Una is performing, you can use the practice versions of each skill to compare against her movements, but be careful to keep an eye on her.
Each of the three event bars must be completed to finish the event. If you are by yourself, you will need to move to the other circles once you have finished the first and repeat your performance. When soloing the event, it will take 12 correct entries in each area to complete the event.
