— In-game description

Songs in the Key of Kugane is a level 70 quasi-quest that serves as an unlock method for most extreme-difficulty trials and ultimate-difficulty raids in Stormblood, and The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate) released in Shadowbringers. There are no steps to this quest: talking to the questgiver both accepts and completes the quest.

Though the quest is "completed" upon talking to the Wandering Minstrel, players must go back and talk to him again each time they complete the necessary prerequisites in order to unlock the associated extreme- or ultimate-difficulty encounter.
