Trivia[]

  • Theater: Backstage is similar in design, layout, and theme to Everhold Amphitheatre, as both dungeons include multiple levels and culimate in a boss battle onstage.
  • Posters of Dolcinaea can be seen throughout the theater.
  • The second half of Theater: Backstage is full of set pieces, props, and costumes, including a coatrack that holds a hat identical to Partitio's.
