## Experience

**Unlocks: Lagrange's skill**

This effect is triggered when playing Aegleseeker for the first time.

During this playthrough, the background aegleseeker\_grey is used instead. During the leadup to the drop, the screen gradually fades to black before the sentence "and in that light, I find deliverance." appears on-screen. Afterwards, the screen returns to normal and:

* The background is replaced with aegleseeker.
* The Recollection Gauge, pause button, and score display disappear.

This effect can be experienced again when a level 10 or higher Lagrange is selected. However, the Recollection Gauge, pause button, and score display will no longer disappear. The pause button will also not function while the screen is fading to black. Once Testify has been unlocked, the full effect can be experienced again including the disappearing UI elements.

## Trivia

* Aegleseeker was the Grand Prize Winner of the 2020 Arcaea Song Contest.
	+ The jacket art features the Partner Lagrange, whose design was based on the song.
* "Aegle" is an Ancient Greek word that means "brightness", "dazzling light", or "glory" (written as αἴγλη). The name has also been used for several Greek deities. Thus the song's name literally means "light seeker".
* Frums was responsible for the song's rhythm and basic arrangement, and Silentroom was responsible for composition and detailed arrangement.
	+ According to Silentroom, the song was originally in 248 BPM, but Silentroom felt that it worked better in 234 BPM. In the same comment, he mentions that production took about 2 weeks.
	+ The "and in that light, I find deliverance" vocal sample was made by Frums themselves. Scrapped versions of the sample also included "but I find myself lost".
	+ Despite the variable timings in the middle section of the song, Silentroom has stated that the entire song is in 4/4 time..
* The chart designer aliases together suggest the journey of a satellite into the Void, mirroring Lagrange's story.
	+ The PST credit "<RECORD START> 0:" resembles satellite output data, suggesting the start of a journey.
	+ The PRS credit "<OBSRV> boundary(?°a,?°A)" resembles observational output data, with the "(?°a,?°A)" being an undefined location in celestial (altitude/azimuthal angle) coordinates.
	+ The FTR credit "L₆: The Void" is a reference to Lagrange points (which only go up to L₅ in real life), and to the Void at the edge of Arcaea's world.
	+ Toaster was likely involved with designing Aegleseeker's charts.
* The jacket art contains the numbers "66 72 61 63 74 75 72 65", which are the hex codes for the ASCII characters "F R A C T U R E". The same numbers appear near the end of the PV for Luminous Sky.
* Aegleseeker is playable in Lanota and maimai as part of their collaborations with Arcaea.
* This song has two extended versions: one in Silentroom's album *In My Heart*, *Aegleseeker ("Afterworld" Full Ver)*, and another in Memories of Myth, *Aegleseeker (Over the Horizon)*.
* This is the first Side Story song to have its FTR difficulty rated as 11.
	+ As such, this makes it the second non-anomaly song, after SAIKYO STRONGER, to possess a FTR 11 chart.
	+ This song also possessed the highest constant BPM out of all songs that have FTR/BYD 11s charts, at 234BPM, before being surpassed by Vicious [ANTi] Heroism (which has a BPM of 271) in version 5.3.0.
* This is the first song in the game which is locked behind both a Potential and Partner unlock requirement.
* This is the first non-anomaly song to have all three of its difficulties greyed out and displayed as "?" prior to meeting the unlock requirements.
	+ This is also the first song ever to do so with its song title, artist and BPM information displayed before being unlocked.
* Formerly, Aegleseeker's PRS chart used to be rated as level 8, which made it the only level 11 chart in game not to possess a level 9 chart. However, this is no longer the case as of the v4.0 update, when it was rerated to 9.
* Similar to overdead. and Chronicle, there are notes at the end of the song that do not have to be touched.
