How does the Golden Lute (the weapon) work?
When you fight the Necrodancer, you can only damage him using a unique weapon, the Golden Lute. What is the attack pattern on this thing? Does it attack two squares in front of you, one? Does it attack diagonally? How much damage does it do? I can't seem to figure it out.
Best Answer
You attack by moving next to an enemy. The Lute deals one point of damage.
Below, "adjacent" means in a neighboring tile horizontally or vertically, not diagonally.
- If you move out of a tile adjacent to an enemy, it deals damage to the enemy.
- If you move into a tile adjacent to an enemy, it deals damage to them (including move directly away from the enemy).
- If you attack an enemy in the traditional sense, by moving into them, it does not deal damage.
Source: Once you beat the Necrodancer, you unlock a character who wields the Golden Lute, so you can practice with it in the lobby.

Strategy. The fastest way to defeat the Lute is to attack the head once, quickly hit the body (to become "synchronized" to the head's movements, akin to defeating red bats), hit the head again for increased damage, and repeat.How to attack in crypt of the necrodancer?
Monsters have their own attack, follow, and move patterns. Say, moving on every second beat, or only being able to attack every fourth. That's what you have to handle. Attacks are done by bumping into your foes, and spells/items are activated with button combos.How do you unlock melody in crypt of the Necrodancer?
Melody is Cadence's mother, revived by the Golden Lute. She's cursed with it, thus having to keep playing it for as long as necessary to stay alive. Because of that, the Lute is the only weapon she can use. To unlock her, you must defeat the Necrodancer as Cadence.Crypt of the Necrodancer OST - Absolutetion (Golden Lute Fight)

Answer 2
From the Weapons page of the Necrodancer wiki:
You can hit all enemies (even multiple at a time) in the red tiles when you move. You must move in order to deal damage, so you cannot directly attack an enemy like most other weapons.
