Arc 3: Heaven's Chains

All 8 songs · the full chapter walkthrough · the spoiler line drawn at the act's end

Heaven's Chains is where In Falsus's investigation stops being background noise: a new chapter, eight new songs, and the cast pushed into the open. This page walks the chapter the way the game serves it — scenario nodes, unlocks, encounters — and stops exactly where the act stops.

Quick Takeaways

  • Arc 3 is named Heaven's Chains and continues the scenario after Every Moment — the fourth hidden arc achievement on the Steam list, after The First Lie, A Past Best Untold and Every Moment.
  • Eight songs form the Arc 3 track group as of v1.0.2c, per the community wiki — and three of them, Chaoticism Legacy, Re:Flection and Vesper, sit in the game-wide fourteen-chart FBD 13 tier.
  • Songs unlock through the scenario itself: Falling Shadow is the act's first new track, and roughly 50 of the official 70-song roster sit in the pool by the time the chapter ends.
  • This page is spoiler-bounded by design: it walks the chapter's structure and stops where the act stops — Keys under arrest, Act 3 complete. No endings, nothing past Arc 3.

Source Footage

Frames in this guide come from TrappyTheDemon's Part 6 playthrough — 3.6 hours of Act 3 in a facecam-free, full-screen capture, the clearest long-form Heaven's Chains footage we've verified. Every frame links back to the exact moment it was taken.

Watch the Act 3 playthrough

The source video is VFR (variable frame rate), so the deep-link seconds on every frame mark the verified extraction points rather than a to-the-second timeline. Story dialogue scenes stay out of the frames; what remains is UI.

What Arc 3 Covers

The chapter, beat by beat — then the line

Act 3 opens late at night, with a monologue: investigating the Savior has drawn threats. From there the chapter moves in three movements. The Sunrise segment picks up in a morning park, where Freya shares a location app over Connect. The middle of the act shuttles the cast through Nia's rescue, a gathering in the library, an eavesdropping plan at the Academy Exchange — a bug planted in Room 504 — an Iris crisis fought out in a mindscape to Chaoticism Legacy, and Nia proving herself live from a rooftop. The late act runs Keys through two dive battles and into the final boss encounter of Heaven's Chains. When it ends, Keys is under arrest, and Act 3 is complete.

That paragraph is the entire spoilable surface of this page: events are named at summary level only — no dialogue, no scene detail, and nothing from the act's closing moments onward.Arc 2 Guide

Walkthrough

Six steps, frame by frame

There is no puzzle to Arc 3 access — it opens as the scenario continues past Every Moment. What the chapter looks like in motion, step by step, each frame credited to its moment in the source run:

  1. 1

    Follow the SCENARIO flow

    Act 3 hangs off its own node map in the SCENARIO screen — the chapter's beats sit on a path you clear in order. The source run returns to this board constantly: every beat, from the opening monologue to the Sunrise morning in the park, is a node on it.

  2. 2

    Let the story unlock the songs

    New tracks arrive through progression, not a shop: Falling Shadow is the first song Act 3 grants, playable the moment its node clears. By the end of the chapter roughly 50 of the official 70-song roster sit in your pool — each new arrival brings its four charts and a fresh record to set.

    Run the case over Connect

    Connect is Act 3's phone: the location app Freya sends in the Sunrise segment and the coordination that follows land as chat messages you read between nodes. The message list doubles as a record of the chapter's moving parts.

    Fight the mindscape crisis

    Mid-act, Iris's crisis becomes a mindscape encounter, and the arc's boss songs surface here — Chaoticism Legacy is the mindscape's boss track, with Self-confrontatioN fought around it. Expect this all act long: Arc 3's boss songs run on the standard chart presentation, no 3D boss events.

    Clear the dives, collect the cards

    The late act puts Keys through two dive battles, yggthrasir among them. Each clear pops a reward screen — new card art for the Remembrance collection — and the next fight always starts the same way: from the CONNECT menu, deck picked, encounter launched.

    Face the final boss, close the act

    Past the dives waits the final boss encounter of Heaven's Chains. When it ends, Keys is under arrest and Act 3 is complete — and this walkthrough stops there, exactly on the page's spoiler line.

What This Page Doesn't Cover

The spoiler line, drawn explicitly

This page stops where Act 3 stops: the final boss encounter ends, Keys is arrested, the act closes — and nothing after that appears here. No endings, no epilogue, no later arcs, no post-credit extras. Per the community wiki's note on the official streaming guidelines, content past the end of Arc 3 stays undocumented entirely. When that line moves, this page will link to whatever covers it — it won't become the spoiler page itself.

FAQ

Arc 3 questions, answered within the spoiler line

How long is Arc 3 in In Falsus?

Our verified reference run — TrappyTheDemon's Part 6 playthrough, facecam-free and full-screen — fills a 3.6-hour video with the chapter from start to finish. Expect your own clock to run longer with retries and repeated encounters; this act is a full evening either way.

How do I unlock the Arc 3 songs?

Play the scenario. Act 3 grants its tracks as story nodes clear — Falling Shadow is the first — and cleared encounters add rewards on top. By the act's end, roughly 50 of the official 70-song roster have entered the pool.

Who is the Arc 3 final boss?

Story first: Act 3 closes with a final boss encounter after Keys's two dive battles — we keep the fight's specifics and everything after it off this page. If you meant the charts, the arc's boss-tier songs are Chaoticism Legacy, Re:Flection and Vesper, all at FBD 13.

Does anything come after Arc 3?

The Steam achievement list lines the arcs up as hidden achievements — The First Lie, A Past Best Untold, Every Moment, Heaven's Chains — with later entries we don't name here. Content past the end of Arc 3 is restricted by the official streaming guidelines, so this site keeps it undocumented; this page ends where the act ends.

Do Arc 3 boss songs have 3D boss events?

No. In the verified Act 3 footage, the arc's boss songs — including the mindscape fight's Chaoticism Legacy — play on the standard chart presentation, in keeping with Arc 3 boss tracks generally having no 3D boss events. The spectacle lives in the charts, not the staging.
