So, you’re running around Brumehill Cemetery in Goat Simulator 3 and you see a massive door that just won't budge. It’s the Imperial Mausoleum. Honestly, if you didn’t grow up humining the tunes of 1970s space operas, this puzzle is a total head-scratcher. The game tells you to "use the force to play a march," which is basically the developers’ way of nudging you toward a very specific Star Wars easter egg.
You don't need a PhD in music theory. You just need to headbutt some bells in the right order.
Where to find the Imperial Mausoleum
First things first, you’ve got to actually find the place. It’s tucked away in the Brumehill Cemetery, which is in the Suburbsville area. You’ll know you’re there because the whole screen turns gray and misty, giving off major spooky vibes.
The quest itself is triggered when you climb the church-like building right near the entrance. Don't bother looking for a key. Look for the ladder on the side of the church and scramble up to the roof. There, you’ll find three bells hanging in a small tower.
The Bell Sequence (The "Imperial March" Solution)
This is where people usually get stuck. There are three bells: a big one (low tone), a middle one (mid tone), and a small one (high tone). To finish the quest, you have to play the Imperial March (Darth Vader’s theme).

Hit them in this exact order:
- Middle
- Middle
- Middle
- Big (The one on the left)
- Small (The one on the right)
- Middle
- Big
- Small
- Middle
Timing matters a little bit, but the game is pretty forgiving. If you mess up, just wait a second for the sound to die down and start over. Once you nail it, a short cutscene will play showing a tomb across the graveyard opening up.
What is the Pridesabre 2.0?
Once that door slides open, sprint over there. Inside, you’ll find the Pridesabre 2.0.
It’s basically a double-sided lightsaber, but since this is Goat Simulator, it’s been turned up to eleven. When you activate it (usually the RB/R1 button or the "Special" key), it doesn't just have two blades—it sprouts about six different neon-colored beams.

It’s a "force" to be reckoned with. Pun intended.
Hitting people with it doesn't slice them in half (the game keeps it physics-based), but it sends NPCs flying like ragdolls. It’s easily one of the best gear items for pure chaos. Plus, it glows in the dark, which is handy if you’re still hanging out in the foggy cemetery.
Common Mistakes and Misconceptions
A lot of players think they need a specific "Force" emote or a special skin like the "Space Goat" to trigger the event. You don't. You can do this with the default Pilgor skin or even while playing as a tall goat (the giraffe).
Another thing: some people confuse this with the "Pay Respects" quest nearby. To "Pay Respects," you just have to stand in front of specific graves and press the action prompt. The Imperial Mausoleum is strictly about the bell tower music puzzle.

If the bells aren't making noise, make sure you aren't just licking them. You have to physically headbutt them (Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox).
How to use your new reward
The Pridesabre isn't just for show. It acts as a melee weapon that significantly increases your knockback. If you're trying to clear out a crowd of NPCs or complete some of the "Instincts" (the mini-challenges in your menu), this saber makes it trivial.
Pro tip: Pair the Pridesabre with the "Jetpack" or "Wings." Diving into a crowd from the air while swinging a six-bladed rainbow lightsaber is peak Goat Simulator 3.
To maximize the chaos with the Pridesabre 2.0, follow these steps:
- Equip the saber from your "Back" or "Neck" slot in the Wardrobe.
- Find a densely populated area like the town square or the beach.
- Activate the blades and use your lunge (jump + headbutt) to zip through groups.
- The physics engine will do the rest, launching civilians into the stratosphere.
Once you've cleared the Imperial Mausoleum, the cemetery has a few more secrets, including the "Whack-a-Mole" event and several hidden trinkets tucked behind the larger tombstones. Grab those while you're in the area so you don't have to walk back through the fog later.
