Cavalcadence plays Aria 3 (Crypt of the NecroDancer: Zone 2 & Cutscene)
9Crypt of the NecroDancer (PC/Steam)
v1.03 (2015 Apr 23)
Cavalcadence plays Aria 3: Zone 2, and Zone 2 Cutscene (Aria)
For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

So, the main NecroDancer story is a three-part story (Cadence, Melody, Aria), and Aria's story is the final part.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is Part 3 of 4 of Aria's story!
Aria starts at the bottom of the Crypt and works her way up. Which means that, yes, it isn't a mistake or some weird bug: Zone 4 is actually Aria's first Zone... and Zone 1 is her final Zone!
Also, as Aria works her way back towards the surface, enemies will essentially be pursuing her... which means that "earlier" Zones, in addition to having their normal set of enemies, will also have some enemies from "later" Zones, as they follow her from Zone 4 to Zone 3 to Zone 2 to Zone 1!
Anyway, here's my first ever Zone 2 win with Aria! Enjoy!
Oh, and as you probably know by now, Crypt of the NecroDancer actually has three in-game soundtracks (Danny B's original soundtrack, A_Rival's EDM remix, and FamilyJules7X's metal remix), and in the Options, you can select which one you want for each charcter. Aria defaults to FamilyJules7X's metal remix, so if anybody's curious, that's what you'll be hearing in this video. =)
The Zone 2 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Banshee, Red Dragon, Blood Nightmare, and Coral Riff 2 (Aria version).
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 Zone 2, Level 1
0:22 Fireball Spell
0:24 Mini-boss: Banshee
0:27 I always forget to use my Spells, so I figured I might as well use the Fireball here, while I was thinking about it. =)
0:41 Winged Boots!
1:02 Compass! And a Titanium Shovel.
1:21 Boots of Strength! Yes, extra damage! =)
1:38 Zone 2, Level 2
2:11 Mini-boss: Red Dragon
2:41 Zone 2, Level 3. I wasn't sure if the Blue Key would carry over to the next Level... but apparently it does. =)
2:49 Boots of Strength! ...which I already have. Ah well. =)
3:02 Mini-boss: Blood Nightmare
3:06 More Boots of Strength! I guess the game really wants me to have Boots of Strength. ^^;
3:39 Zone 2, Boss: Coral Riff 2 (Aria version)
4:35 My first ever Zone 2 Aria win!
4:35 Zone 2 Cutscene (Aria)
