Where is the first Golden Disk?

Are Golden Disks related to Buccanary coins?
How many Golden Disks are there?
Three. They are large floating collectibles—not shop currency and not tied to the 2800 Buccanary coin checklist. Picking up all three unlocks Ancient Memories on Steam’s 12 achievements and the matching trophy on Xbox/PlayStation (PSNProfiles text).
| Disk | Region | When you can grab it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Owl Temple | Mid-game temple crawl |
| 2 | Strato (Tropos/Strato sky) | After you can burn thorns with Alphonse |
| 3 | Floating Tower | Final ascent; retry post-credits if skipped |
Where is Golden Disk 1 in the Owl Temple?
Bottom-right purple vines → secret crawl → waterfall climb.
- Reach the Owl Temple room where a disk is visible behind the wall on the right (Gamer Walkthroughs).
- Drop any carried gunner—only Otus fits through the gap at the lower-right vines.
- Crawl right, then jump up the waterfall past ward enemies.
- Collect the disk on the upper-left ledge.
Where is Golden Disk 2 in Strato?
Thorn gate → upper-left at the spike-ball fork → pink tree.
From Tropos, fly upward into Strato until you see an arrow sign pointing up with thorns on the left (Fandom Golden Disks summary via community guides). Burn through the thorns with Alphonse, reach the junction with circling spike enemies, and take the upper-left branch—not the lower path. The disk floats in the large pink-leaf tree at the end.
Where is Golden Disk 3 in the Floating Tower?
Optional right branch during the last tower climb.
During the finale approach (Floating Tower—not the earlier Floating Continent jungle/molten zones), ride a spinning platform upward. The story pushes left; instead, jump right along floating rocks into a building and collect the disk inside (Gamer Walkthroughs, PlayStationTrophies guide).
The game warns about a point of no return, but you can reload after credits, teleport from the pre-boss save, and return if needed—same guidance as the 100% guide.
Where do you place the three Golden Disks?
Placement is optional lore, not required for Ancient Memories. All three shrines must be filled to open the hidden wall in Tropos.
| Slot | Location (paraphrased from Gamer Walkthroughs) |
|---|---|
| Shrine 1 | Tropos — two screens right of the Legendary Adventure Emporium |
| Shrine 2 | Strato — right of the caterpillar / Levigate area, top of a waterfall screen |
| Shrine 3 | Strato — above the square sign screen; fly up and go left past spore enemies |
After all three disks are inserted, return to Tropos: a left-side wall opens toward the Eternal Sanctuary optional area.
Quick checklist
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Owl Temple crawl + waterfall disk |
| 2 | Strato thorn + upper-left disk |
| 3 | Finish or pause finale; grab Floating Tower disk on the right branch |
| 4 | (Optional) Place disks at the three shrines |
| 5 | Pop Ancient Memories once all three disks sit in your inventory |
Pair this with coin cleanup on the trinkets list before the pirate ship walkthrough if you want Spectre Cloak for the ending.
