2) Introduction

The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean is a 1999 role-playing video game developed by Nihon Falcom. It is the fifth game in The Legend of Heroes series, and the third and final title in the Gagharv Trilogy. It was originally released for Windows and was remade for the PlayStation Portable in 2006.

The game takes place in Weltluna, the third realm in Gagharv, seven years after A Tear of Vermillion and forty-nine years before Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch. It centers around Forte, Una and McBain and their quest in seeking Leone's Resonance Stones.

This achievement set is created by developer ladynadiad, who has done an excellent job covering everything the game has to offer. There are a lot of missable achievements in this set that are chronologically ordered on the game page, but I wanted to emphasise on them further by introducing a completely spoiler-free guide. This guide hides all the story achievements in a toggle with the amount described, making it so that this guide can be approached without the worry that you will be spoiling yourself. For example, if the toggle says 2 achievements, then everything between this toggle and the next toggle can be gained in-between that time. If you are a veteran of the series however, you are most likely familiar with how this game handles missables: talking to every NPC after every major happening in the story. By following this approach, most if not all achievements shouldn't be a problem for you!

Do note: you need a save file of both A Tear of Vermillion and Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch to master this game. They do NOT need to be a complete save file.

3) Walkthrough

Step 1: Walkthrough per Chapter

Unlike previous guides where I split up the steps per chapter, I have opted to put them all together in one step due to how big this set is in comparison to the other two. However, everything is still split up per chapter within this step to give you an idea of how many missables there are per chapter, as well as hiding the story achievements so you can still approach this guide without spoiling yourself. History progress, books, and Orbs of Ocean carries over to NG+, so if you want to play this game casually first, you can get everything you missed on a second playthrough... except for:

While every non-progression achievement is missable, you must absolutely make sure to get the following two achievements during your first playthrough. You can NOT get these on a second playthrough.

  • Went Too Easy on Her - Near the end of Chapter 1, before gaining access to the lower half of the quarry. Defeat the boss giving you access with Una.
  • Dealing with the Cache of Wood - During Chapter 6, while you are travelling to Grabadel, instead go to a cave that is located on the south-east of the route. Do NOT go to Grabadel first, at least not until you are asked to go back to the cave.

Books per chapter are detailed in section 4.


Step 2: Chests, Orbs, Sonomemories, and NG+

This step covers all locations, orbs, and sonomemories found per location. As long as you get every achievement in this section, you will get the full Orb of Ocean list completed no problem. As mentioned however, NG+ is required for a few Orbs and Sonomemories, so you cannot avoid a second playthrough.

A few additional notes:

  • Check every chest again, as well as the back of every chest. While my guide is 99% accurate as to where the item locations are, you can avoid looking at the guide altogether by triple-checking every chest. It's not uncommon for a chest to have three items: opening it the first time, checking it again, and checking the back. Just make sure that you always do this.
  • That said... some chests are hidden very nastily, like not being easily spottable or hidden through a non-visible passage. You can trust my guide on those but if you want to try and find everything yourself, hug every wall in every cave and on every route, because you'll undeniably find some.
  • Pay very close attention to the Sonomemories on a New Game+ playthrough, as well as on your first playthrough beyond Chapter 7. On a New Game+ playthrough, the final Sonomemory is locked behind getting ALL other Sonomemories, and you can get this final one in Chapter 7 of New Game+. If you do not have all the sonomemories found through the regular story (not including special scenario), you will have to replay the entire game again.

Step 3: Special Scenario

All of these achievements require a save file from both The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion, and The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch. Once you have done that, all achievements can be gotten throughout the game, with more unlocking depending on progress made in Song of the Ocean.

However, do be wary specifically of Friends from Tirasweel and Weltluna, as this accounts for Song of the Ocean characters as well. Every time you get a new character, you must go to a tuning fork to register them. For more information, see the achievement in the guide.

4) Books to Collect

Like the previous two games, there are two series of books to collect--and there are a lot of them too. You can safely do this across two playthroughs, but allow me to detail every book's location down below for convenience. Having every book of a series is mandatory to get a weapon in the final chapter; miss one, and you won't get that weapon until you get the missing book on another playthrough.

The Sounds of Adventures (50)
[Special Scenario, New Game+] Find all 31 Sonomemories.

Sonomemories are sometimes given out by defeating bosses, as well as found in chests both during the first playthrough and New Game+. Some Sonomemories also will not be available until you have a specific amount, with the final one needing a total of 30. Due to that, it is absolutely essential that you get all Sonomemories up till Chapter 4 NG+ before Chapter 7 on a New Game+ run.

  2. Sonomemory 24 - Check the chest with the Resonance Stone again when travelling to Shulf.

Chapter 4 NG+

Once you have all of the above, you're golden. At this point, all Sonomemories are found in the Extra Scenario.

Extra Scenario

You can get these in any order:

  2. Sonomemory 2 - Check the same chest as Sonomemory 1 again.

Adventures of the Future (1)
[Special Scenario] Transfer data from Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch to gain access to extras available at the Tuning Fork Shrine.

Transfer data from The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch. This does not need to be a completed save file. Without it, you cannot get all the characters and extra scenarios.

Unlock all characters from Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch and Song of the Ocean for use in the Special Scenario

Every Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch character unlocks automatically through story progression, with more added to the castle after every two chapters. However, this also includes the Song of the Ocean characters, and that's the catch where you need to absolutely make sure to go to a tuning fork whenever a new character joins your team. This is especially relevant for the following characters:

  • Slade/Fred: These two are registered as separate characters, and therefore you need to go to a tuning fork during Chapter 2 on Ryutom island, and Chapter 4 any time before going to Ened.
  • Palman: For Palman, you'll have two opportunities: during Chapter 3 near the swamp, and Chapter 5 at the... other swamp. Both have fairly short windows, so make sure to do this whenever you got a chance.
  • Duorl: Duorl has an extremely short window of being added to your party through the tuning fork, and that is between rescuing him at the cave and going back to Grabadel Castle. Make sure that once he is in your party, to go west to the tuning fork near the checkpoint. This is your only chance.

Unlock all characters from A Tear of Vermillion for use in the Special Scenario.

This is an achievement that should be pretty straightforward: finish every extra scenario, unlock more characters, talk to them in the cathedral, and that's all you need to do. However, there is one anomaly: Rutice.

Rutice is a bit bugged, and the exact conditions to unlock her are a bit vague, but one that has consistently worked for me is to clear your party and then talk to every character in the Special Scenario. Every single one; just say no when they ask to join you as that's not necessary. Then, do the Extra Scenario "Sealed Land" again, and she should pop up in a small patch of grass after going through the Catherdral underground.

Memories of Tirsaweel (25)
[Special Scenario] Collect all 101 Moonlight Orbs
Memories of El Phildin (25)
[Special Scenario] Collect all 121 Vermilion Orbs.  Note: Vermilion Orb 47 doesn't exist so you need to collect up to Vermilion Orb 122.

To unlock Moonlight/Vermillion Orbs, you need to clear an Extra Scenario with each of the Moonlight/Vermillion characters in your party, multiple times as the Orb droprate is random. At the end of a scenario, these Orbs unlock, and it will tell you whenever you got each orb of a character.

The recommended strategy is to just repeat the first Extra Scenario repeatedly, and have only Forte in your party with 5 different characters as he alone will be more than enough to clear it. Keep repeating this over, switching our characters until the game says you got all their orbs, and eventually you will get all orbs without problem.

Obviously, having all characters is a requirement for these achievements.
