How to Learn and Play a Soul Melody in Tchia

In chapter two of Tchia, players will learn about the Soul Melody feature after taking part in the Rock Balancing minigame with Tre. However, the game doesn’t teach you how to access her ukulele or begin playing instruments. It isn’t like you can open her backpack and select the instrument. So you don’t need to check menus, here’s how it works.

When standing around, press right on the controller’s directional pad. This will bring up the Soul Melody feature in Tchia, as well as show you the ones you learned so far. Taking part in that first minigame with Tre will net you four songs of the 14 Tchia can eventually learn. You’ll pick up Time: Dawn, Time: Noon, Time: Dusk, and Time: Midnight.

The first Soul Melody you’ll need to play in Tchia is Time: Midnight. The earlier rhythm minigame introduced you how playing a ukulele works. Hold the left analog stick in the direction of the correct note, then press X on your controller to play it. To play Time: Midnight, you will need to hit B, E, E, D.

Tchia is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. It is also on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium.
