Heroes of Sokoban and Heroes of Hauling

Checked 14 October 2026. Two names, one north world. The party pushes, pulls, swaps, charms, shields, and transmutes.

What I checked

Community routes from joric/ootss, commit 86e9aa79c31c57a14bda600d7ba93e4d18bce403, checked 14 October 2026. These sequences have not been replay-tested by this guide. Release_v1 is an upstream map-layer label, not a verified game build number. Patches can change checkpoints or invalidate older moves.

Which name to use

The official north-world name is The Hearty Heroes of Hauling. Heroes of Sokoban is Jonah Ostroff's source trilogy, not a separate fifth world. The community's heroes1, heroes2 and heroes3 groups correspond to the basic party, Monsters, and Bard/Druid chapters.

The base heroes1 group has 21 markers and 21 nonempty routes. Heroes 2 has 30/30, Heroes 3 has 10/25. The later heroes_in_3d (66 markers) and beams_and_basic_heroes (62) groups have no published sequence in this snapshot.

Tools the hands-on names

Push, pull, and swap are the first three. The bard has an area charm, the priestess is immune to enemy hits and can cover a neighbor, and the druid transmutes blocks or turns a creature to crystal. Goblins kill from an adjacent tile. Beasts breathe fire in sight.

There is no combat system in the usual sense. The Blog calls enemies rules. If a door stays closed, the rule is often that the threat is still active.

Community puzzle routes and locations

76 locations in this index. The full snapshot contains 920 locations and 106 matching community routes, not a complete solution for every game puzzle.

Data: joric/ootss,Unlicense, captured 14 October 2026 at commit 86e9aa79c31c. Names are community/internal identifiers, not confirmed display names. These routes have not been replay-tested by this site on a named game build.

76 locations

U/D/L/R mean up/down/left/right; a number repeats the preceding move (R2 = right twice). X/C/V are action-key symbols in the community recorder, not a verified console binding chart. Match the exact board and starting state before following a route.

Questions

Do I play Heroes 1 before Heroes 2?

The four worlds have no mandatory global order, but this does not mean every later Heroes board is unlocked immediately. The chapters teach abilities progressively.

Who are Valens, Tif, and Isidore?

The PlayStation Blog names the warrior, thief and wizard respectively.

How many Heroes 1 routes are published?

All 21 markers in the community heroes1 group have a nonempty route. The guide has not replay-tested them.
