Resonance All 30 Charm Locations and Effects

Resonance has 30 Charms split across six families of five: Beads, Arm Bands, Bracelets, Trinkets, Seals, and Pierced Coins. Ordinary Charms come from small chests; the five Pierced Coins come from Theseus Echo interactions. All 30 can be recovered with Chapter Select, and the complete set unlocks Superstitious. The five Pierced Coins also unlock In the Name of My Kin.

Charms are permanent passive bonuses rather than items you equip. A new copy strengthens its family from a slight chance through low, moderate, high, and finally significant chance. This means a missed chest does not break a build, but recovering later copies makes the underlying effect trigger more often.

What every Charm family does

Family	Passive effect	Where the five copies matter most
Beads	Chance for an archer's arrow to miss Sophia	Open fights with several ranged enemies
Arm Bands	Chance to widen the parry timing window	Parry-focused play and yellow attacks
Bracelets	Chance to increase Critical Strike damage	Fast kills after filling the stun meter
Trinkets	Chance to survive otherwise lethal damage	Hard/Nightmare and unfamiliar encounters
Seals	Chance for a defeated enemy to drop a throwable	Crowd control and throwable-focused skills
Pierced Coins	Chance for Focus to leave the gauge available	Large groups and repeated Focus attacks

There is no Charm loadout to manage: collected effects apply automatically, and duplicates upgrade the same passive. The Heritage Pack's Alec's Pendant is separate and is not part of the 30 required for Superstitious.

Chapter 2: Felons

#1 Beads 1

The Carnival · Follow the pieces of cloth to the church. After Leni opens a locked door, cross the yard with the two pigs and squeeze through the fence. Turn left immediately and open the small wooden chest inside the nearby building.

#2 Bracelet 1

Rats in a Barrel · Help the crew at the arsenal. During the Grapnel tutorial, pull the archer from the roof, shimmy across to the place where he stood, and turn left. The chest is beside the rooftop route before you continue toward the arsenal.

Chapter 3: Those Before Us

#3 Beads 2

Vestiges · Reach the statue. Start from the wooden platform, follow the route until Sophia slides into the ruins, and drop to the lowest floor. Search the room on the left rather than climbing toward the objective.

#4 Arm Band 1

Find a way above the city's ruins. Pull down the wooden barrier with the Grapnel to enter the large statue area. Go into the ruins on the right and drop through the opening in their floor.

#5 Bracelet 2

Climb the mountain on the opposite side of the same area. At the upper building, Leni asks Sophia to help with a door; open the chest in the side room to the left before or after that interaction.

#6 Seal 1

After crawling below the log Leni raises, pass the wall painting, slide down, and reunite with her. Pull down the next barricade with the Grapnel, then use the first left-hand opening to reach the chest.

Chapter 4: From Hell It Rose

#7 Arm Band 2

Down the Abyss · Progress through the Trial. Solve the three-pedestal door with Y → C → upward arrow, then enter the outdoor statue area. Before dropping from the next ledge, climb the first rocks on the right to reach the hidden camp and its chest.

#8 Trinket 1

At the Bottom · Progress through the Trial. In the room where Leni works a lever from the opposite side, defeat the ambush and squeeze into the next chamber. After Sophia drops to the middle level, turn back and look beneath the ledge she landed from.

Chapter 5: Desolation It Wrought

#9 Trinket 2

Battle Grounds · Reach the central temple. Clear the first fight, take the left route, and Grapnel the wooden barricade down. Stay on the lower level of the ruins until you reach the abandoned camp in the corner; climb the rocks on the left to the upper tent.

#10 Seal 2

Continue upward through the ruins and find the archer positioned on the pillars near their middle. After defeating him, circle beneath his position and search behind the left corner.

#11 Bracelet 3

The Four Symbols · Find the first symbol. In the four-pedestal hub, enter the door marked like a die. Continue until Sophia and Leni separate, descend the platforms, and jump the trapped one. At the bottom, turn left immediately and climb the ruined side route to its final chest.

#12 Arm Band 3

Continue through the floor-symbol platform puzzle and collect the objective symbol. When the route reaches a beach fight, search the far-right shoreline beside the boat before leaving.

#13 Pierced Coin 1

Find the second symbol. Back at the hub, enter the door marked by a circle with three lines. Cross the bridge and keep choosing the leftmost route until a ladder reaches the upper area. Clear the enemies and interact with the Axe Chalice; this memory awards the first Pierced Coin.

Chapter 6: What Lies Beneath

#14 Seal 3

Minoan Machinery · Find a way out. After another escape from the creature, enter the corridor lined by lanterns. At its end, break the boxes hiding the mirror on the left for story progress, then destroy the separate boxes on the right to expose the Charm chest.

#15 Beads 3

The Architect · Follow Daedalus' shortcut. After the circular-room scene with a petrified figure near the cliff, take the dark path on the right. The chest is against the wall before the route drops lower.

#16 Pierced Coin 2

From Beads 3, drop from the cliff to the left but do not enter the door on the right. Continue straight through the farther doorway and interact with the Axe Chalice inside.

Chapter 7: Death It Sowed

#17 Beads 4

The Whole Damn Army · Reach the Black Temple. After the scene ending Sergio's route, enter the beach and face the sea. Three rowboats sit along the shoreline; the chest is just to the right of the center boat.

#18 Arm Band 4

After two consecutive Grapnel swings, take the path down to the small beach instead of climbing toward the objective. Defeat the two soldiers and follow the beach all the way around to the left corner.

#19 Pierced Coin 3

A Stage of Skulls · Open one of the doors. Solve the preceding mechanism, drop through the hole, slide beneath the gate, and make two Grapnel swings. Land, then jump right toward the route beside the large locked green gate to find the Axe Chalice.

#20 Bracelet 4

Return toward the previous room and cross the platform sequence. Before squeezing into the next story gap, climb the broken staircase on the left and open the chest at its end.

#21 Trinket 3

Its Ruins · Reach the end of the Trial. Cross the aqueduct and use the zipline. After climbing the first platform, either front or right-hand opening rejoins the same route; climb once more, then turn left for the chest.

Chapter 9: Night Has Come

#22 Seal 4

No Respite · Follow the lights to the palace. After escaping the creature into a cave, continue until Sophia stops briefly beside a low rock. At the three-way split, take the left path, squeeze through, and open the chest beside the body.

#23 Pierced Coin 4

Echoes of the Past · Explore Minos' palace. Destroy the story pedestal to expose light and squeeze through the next gap to a balcony. Turn left there and crawl through the wall to the Axe Chalice.

Chapter 10: Parallel Paths

#24 Beads 5

The Bridge · Find a way inside the mountain. In the broad forest with Faro, follow the river while staying against the right-hand boundary. A smaller stream feeds into the main river; the chest glints beside that smaller waterway.

#25 Trinket 4

Follow the rope or cable across the right side of the forest into the cave. Climb the two ladders, use the zipline, and enter the abandoned camp. Open the chest in the second tent on the right before entering the symbol maze.

#26 Pierced Coin 5

Daedalus' Workshop · Explore the workshop. Cross the room to the visible Resonance Point and turn right toward the lens hanging on chains. Jump onto the lens and use the Grapnel point on the wall to release a weight. Return to the upper floor and descend through the newly opened tomb for the final Axe Chalice. The Chapter 10 walkthrough gives the complete route around this mechanism.

Chapter 11: Patera

#27 Arm Band 5

Puppets · Follow the beam. After the first Puppet fights, use the elevator, survive the next encounter, and boost Faro up the ledge. Continue past the large lens until a door appears on the left and a smaller lens on the right. Go to the right-hand lens, defeat both enemies, and open its nearby chest.

#28 Bracelet 5

The Last Lens · Realign the lens. Clear the large fight, boost Faro up, and cross the stone platforms to the opposite side. The chest is at the rear of the room, just right of the elevator control.

Chapter 12: Fading Light

#29 Seal 5

The Beam · Follow the beam. Use light to lower the bridge and defeat the enemies beyond it. The route soon forces a slide; at the bottom, turn right into the corner before moving on.

Chapter 13: As One

#30 Trinket 5

By Your Side · Follow the beam. Climb until the route reaches the high platform where two lenses bend the beam around a corner. Search beside the large light source at the back before continuing toward the finale.

Fix a missing Charm or trophy

Open Sophia → Charms to see which family has fewer than five copies, then use the family names in the chapter table to narrow the replay. Chapter Select also shows the chapter's overall Charm count. Collect the missing chest or Echo, reach the next checkpoint, and verify the family count before quitting.

If In the Name of My Kin is missing, ignore normal chests and compare only the five Pierced Coins in Chapters 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10. The dedicated Theseus Echoes guide gives a shorter recovery route for those five. If Superstitious is missing with five Pierced Coins already registered, one of the other five families is incomplete.

Pair this page with the 37 Artefact locations, eight Blade locations, and the collectibles cleanup plan. The skills and Masteries guide explains how permanent Charm effects complement Sophia's active skills.

Chapter counts, family names, objectives, route landmarks, and passive effects were rechecked on September 23, 2026 against the released-game routes recorded by PowerPyx, the family-effect reference at PlayStationTrophies, and an independent video timeline. The directions and recovery logic here are independently written for menu-based cleanup.
