The North World’s Hearty Heroes of Hauling route is a character-based puzzle path: use Valens to push blocks and crystals, Tif to pull them, and Isidore to swap places with an object in his line of sight. The documented demo footage shows one early room solved by shifting two crystals, and another by placing three crystals on pads to open a gate. These are footage-based routes, not verified solutions for every build.
How the North World puzzles work
PlayStation’s July 21, 2026 hands-on report describes the puzzles as “Sokoban-like”: objects must be moved through constrained spaces while characters are repositioned to make each move possible. The report says the initial North route group includes Valens the warrior, Tif the thief, and Isidore the wizard. They begin separated, so planning includes both the destination of an object and where its handler will end up.

| Character | Confirmed action | What it means for the board |
|---|---|---|
| Valens | Pushes blocks and crystals | Move an object away from Valens by pushing it. |
| Tif | Pulls blocks and crystals | Move an object while drawing it toward Tif. |
| Isidore | Swaps positions with an object in line of sight | Reposition Isidore and the object rather than pushing or pulling it through the intervening space. |
The PlayStation report says there is no fighting; the challenge is solving the boards through movement and character abilities. A secondary walkthrough describes a six-hero party—Warrior, Thief, Wizard, Bard, Cleric, and Druid—but says an official class-by-class ability list was not available as of September 24, 2026. The actions above are the three specifically documented in the PlayStation hands-on report; abilities for Bard, Cleric, and Druid are not established by these sources.

Heroes room 1: two crystals and offset passages
The following sequence is recorded in Cappa Games demo footage and reproduced by kingy.wiki. The guide author says the exact build is not shown and that they did not replay the room, so treat this as a route visible in that footage—not as an independently tested or universal solution.
#1 Best Overall
- Approach the blue crystal along the bottom row and stand immediately to its left.
- Push the blue crystal three tiles to the right, stopping before the right divider.
- Walk up two tiles, then right one tile to reach the upper opening beside the purple crystal.
- Push the purple crystal three tiles right until it reaches the far-right boundary.
- Walk down one tile onto the yellow exit. The footage shows the exit occupied, followed by a transition to the next room.

Heroes room 4: three crystals and three southern pads
A second footage-based example illustrates a different board pattern: place three crystals on three pads to clear a gate, then proceed to the purple portal. The guide says this sequence was not independently play-tested, so it documents the demo footage rather than guaranteeing the same layout or solution in another build.
Rank #2
- 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.
