Ricardo has a unique ability where he gathers inspiration from various items in order to create music. The music he creates will also cause various different effects in battle, most of them having to due with healing something. Below is where you can obtain the various muse items that Ricardo needs for his skill.
Fade-Fast Flower A single flower Ricardo recieved as a present from his lover. It's delicate beauty - dried but never fading - breathes warm life into Ricardo.
This item is the one he starts out with, so there is no sidequest needed in order to obtain/use it.
Old Man's Diary A youthful diary written by an old man who wrote 100 diaries in his lifetime. Each word communicates to Ricardo what it means to live.
Once you enter Rio de Janeiro, this muse item becomes avaliable. Talk to the man in the Newspaper office in the town and the event will be triggered. After the start of it, head out to Chicago and talk to an old woman near the counter who is inside the Four Dueces. She'll talk for a while and then hand over the diary to Ricardo. Afterwards, head back to the office in Rio and he'll recieve this item.
Girl's Letter A letter written by an illiterate girl who wanted only to write her reply. Her clumsy script reminds Ricardo of the importance of promises.
In order to get this one, you'll need to head to Moana Village and talk to a letter girl who is steanding around the path on the left side. She'll want Ricardo to help her mother, so all you'll need to do after talking with her is to leave the town and reenter. When you enter once again, the woman should be standing there. Talk with her, and she'll ask for Ricardo to look for a man named Warren who is near Arkham University. This man will be standing outside Gilbert's office. Talk to him and he'll tell Ricardo that he's now in prison.
You'll then have to head to Alcatraz prison. There, you can find Warren in the left cellblock to the North area. Head up the starecase to find him. Talk to him and he'll not want to tell anything, so head back to Moana and you'll get an item to deliever to him. Talk to him once again you'll get this as a muse item.
