I am a chapter in a world of fantasy.

A chapter filled with death and grief beyond any scope.

Many fear me and the tune I bring,

But I am essential to beat the greater evil that lies ahead.

To succeed you must reveal what lies beyond the sylph,

And you will be rewarded with a tune to fight the beast.

Hint 1:

Take my first and bloodsuckers stand no chance.

Hint 2:

Pay attention to what ends the second and fifth line.

Hint 3:

It might help if you had game as a child.

I might be overdoing it with the hints, try and solve it without them

Partial answer:

Pretty sure it is related to Pokemon, more specifically, the Lavender City part of the original games.

Not in order, but the clues and hints indicate that:

I am a chapter in a world of fantasy/ A chapter filled with death and grief beyond any scope

Yup, Pokemon is definitely a world of fantasy last time I checked.

Pay attention to what ends the second and fifth line

The words "scope" and "sylph" relate to the Sylph Scope, an item needed to identify (and thus battle) the ghost-type Pokemon in Lavender Tower.

Many fear me and the tune I bring/ But I am essential to beat the greater evil that lies ahead.

The "boss battle" of the quest is a Marowak which has been haunting the Tower for a long time, thus a 'greater evil'.

To succeed you must reveal what lies beyond the sylph/ And you will be rewarded with a tune to fight the beast

The reward for clearing this quest is a Pokeflute which allows one to battle Snorlax, quite a beast indeed.

Sadly, knowing all this still doesn't quite point out exactly what the answer is, and how some of the other clues fit. Anyone?

  • $\begingroup$ I might have confused you with using the word "chapter". If I wrote "place" I thought it would have been too obvious. "chapter" here is meant to portray as lavender town being a part of the pokemon story progression. $\endgroup$
