The Hearty Heroes of Hauling is the northward route in Order of the Sinking Star. Its puzzles revolve around moving crystals and blocks with characters who manipulate them in different ways: Valens pushes, Tif pulls, and Isidore swaps places with an object he can see. Below are two documented early-room sequences, with a clear caveat: both come from demo footage and have not been independently verified against a released build.
How the North World route works
PlayStation’s July 21, 2026 hands-on report describes the North route as a set of character-based, Sokoban-like puzzles. You are solving board layouts by changing where objects and party members stand, rather than by fighting enemies; the report explicitly says there is no fighting. The initial group it describes is Valens the warrior, Tif the thief, and Isidore the wizard. They begin separated, so a move must account for both the object’s new position and the character’s position afterward. PlayStation.Blog’s hands-on report
What the confirmed abilities do
- Valens pushes: he can push obstructive blocks and crystals. Consider whether a push leaves the object against a wall or divider where it cannot be recovered.
- Tif pulls: he can pull blocks and crystals toward himself. Unlike pushing, pulling can bring an object away from a boundary, but his position determines where it goes.
- Isidore swaps: he trades places with an object that is in his line of sight. This can reposition him past an obstruction while relocating the object, so check both landing spots before committing.
A secondary walkthrough describes chains that combine pushing, pulling and teleporting, but an official class-by-class ability list for the full party was not available in that guide as of September 24, 2026. It names six roles—Warrior, Thief, Wizard, Bard, Cleric and Druid—but that is not evidence for specific Bard, Cleric or Druid powers. The ability details above are limited to those directly described by PlayStation’s report. Order of the Sinking Star Guide: Heroes of Hauling Walkthrough
Heroes room 1: two crystals and offset passages
The following sequence is recorded in demo footage matched by the guide to a Cappa Games playthrough. The exact build is not shown, and the guide author did not replay the room, so treat it as a documented route rather than a guaranteed solution for every version. kingy.wiki: Two crystals and offset passages (Heroes 1)
#1 Best Overall
- Approach the blue crystal along the bottom row and stop immediately to its left.
- Push the blue crystal three tiles to the right. Stop before the right divider.
- Walk up two tiles, then right one tile to stand beside the purple crystal at the upper opening.
- Push the purple crystal three tiles right, to the far-right boundary.
- Walk down one tile onto the yellow exit.
In the recorded footage, the exit is occupied and the game transitions to the next room after the character steps onto it.
Heroes room 4: three crystals, three pads
A second demo-footage route illustrates a different board pattern: use three crystals to fill three pads on the southern side, which opens a gate. Its source likewise says the room was not independently play-tested, so check the current board before relying on the sequence. kingy.wiki: Three crystals and three southern pads (Heroes 4)
- Move the upper crystal onto the right pad.
- Move the lower-right crystal onto the middle pad.
- Move the lower-left crystal onto the left pad.
- Once all three pads are occupied and the gate clears, walk through the gate and enter the purple portal.
