Monuments

There are currently 27+ known monuments:

1. Love Letter - [Fame +30] "A love letter with a big heart shaped seal. 'Thank you for finding me' is written on the back, but there's no hint as to who wrote it." TO GET: Click on two heroes who have a relationship in the town. (eg: Giparang and Yeoweodong).
2. Yellow Card - [Fame +20] "A card given by a man in black to the hero who snuck out of the boundaries of Hero Town. Apparently, you’re not supposed to go there." TO GET: Tap on the heroes in the town. They will walk left after the animation is over. Repeat this until you have reached the left side of Hero Town.
3. Seashell - [Fame +80] "A seashell given by the embarrassed Seiren, who begged you to keep her mishap a secret.  It seems to be considered very valuable among the Naga tribe." TO GET: Run a stage/practice mode with Seiren as leader of your team and watch the Episode 3 cutscene - Rising Hope. (Do not skip the cutscene.)
4. Dilapidated Machine - [Fame +40] "An old but classy machine, given by Road Industry to the mercenary that activated a secret code." TO GET: Open up the Account Information tab and repeatedly click the portrait icon with the main hero on it. Eventually you will receive the monument. (May take 30-60 seconds. Be patient.)
5. Gas Mask of Love - [Fame +30] "A gas mask that used to belong to Spyro. Spiny remodeled it for her own purposes." TO GET: Run a level with both Spiny and Spyro as part of your team.
6. Golden Scarecrow Statue - [Fame +50] "A monument presented by Road industry to the mercenary who broke their top-of-the-line scarecrow." TO GET: Kill a practice dummy in practice mode. This is easily accomplished by using Melissa and clicking "Arm Soulbound Weapons." Another way is using a DPS (such as D’Artagnan) with NS-17 Smoke Bomb.
7. Valencia Medal of Honor - [Fame +100] "A badge of honor from Valencia, presented for fighting Soltar and freeing the Fortress of Souls." TO GET: First, defeat Soltar in Floor 10 of Fortress of Souls. Then, acquire *6 Dark Knight Lionel, *6 Joan of Arc, *6 Aria of Stars, *6 Archon the Enlightened, and Goddess Chronos. Watch the story between Joan of Arc, Lionel, and Archon. Finally, enter the Fortress of Souls - Floor 10, select *6 Dark Knight Lionel, *6 Aria of Stars, *6 Archon the Enlightened, and Goddess Chronos. Then mop the floor with Soltar.
8. Bridge of Crows - [Fame +50] "A bridge made of crows to let Altair and Rebecca rendezvous over the Milky Way.  While formed by birds, it is said to be sturdy." TO GET: Run Practice Mode with 6* Altair and 6* Rebecca. Arm Soulbound weapons and use Altair's 3-chain and Rebecca 1-chain.
9. VIP Membership - [Fame +20] "A card given by the thankful Popo to a mercenary leader who bought out her store.  Toto’s pawprint is stamped on the front." TO GET: Buy every single item Popo is selling on a single visit. It is recommended to find her in a lower level as the wares cost less there.
10. Explorer Badge - [Fame +30] "Lorelei sometimes wears this badge while traveling with other heroes, trying to spread her knowledge and know-how in the field of archaeology." TO GET: Send *6 Lorelei on an exploration and watch her in the exploration window until she does a unique animation.
11. Red card - [Fame +50] "A card given to the mercenary who sent a hero out side of Hero Town through extraordinary means. How did you come up with something like this?"

Special Thanks to leewhat in game and  CalvinCopyright on reddit, they discovered Red Card and the other 13 monuments respectively. Thanks to icyblue87 who found the 15th monument.

Edit: 5/12/18 - (IGN: 4klift) This hasn't been edited in some time so I'm just listing a few more monuments and my acquired dates here. Acquired dates to associate with events. Below the new monuments is information on the difficult-to-obtain hidden skins. Please feel free to add more detailed information for each new monument below:

1. Frying Pan of Masters - [Fame +30] "A frying pan presented by Fergus to all mercenary captains who participate in his cooking contest. A chef's hat is engraved in the middle." (11/4/2017) TO GET: Get 10 different cutscenes from the Hungry Hungry Fergus event.
2. Key to Mysterious Dungeon - [Fame +20] "A secret key that opens the door to the mysterious company, L.C." (11/23/2017)
3. Confidential Notebook - [Fame +40] "A notebook sealed and bound. It seems to contain important secrets within, not meant for the public eye..." (11/25/2017)
4. Sealed Letter - [Fame +60] "Greetings, Crusaders! Congratulations on finding this secret letter. We're currently preparing for the 'Season 2: Inheritance' update, so please look forward to the new content headed your way. We hope to see you soon! Yours truly, Crusaders Quest PD Sungmin" (11/25/2017)
5. Dev Gorillamansion Doll - [Fame +70] "A doll that the dev Gorillamansion gave the hero leader in his gratitude for rescuing him. It bears an uncanny resemblance." (11/25/2017)
6. Draco Egg - [Fame +30] "An egg taken from a Draco nest. It was the only real one, the others mere imitations placed to fool a thief's preying hand." (4/5/2018) TO GET: Beat dragon boss 20 times (total) during event.
7. Newborn Draco - [Fame +50] "A newborn Draco that recently hatched from its egg. It seems to think of you and your company as family." (4/5/2018) TO GET: Beat dragon boss 50 times (total) during event.
8. Baby Draco - [Fame +70] "A baby Draco. It needs a lot of daily exercise as its wings are growing quite rapidly. Who'd have ever thought that the little fellow would become such a dear addition to your team?" (4/5/2018) TO GET: Fail against dragon boss after completing Egg/Newborn monument criteria during event.
9. Golden Cleats - [Fame +50] "The legendary shoes bestowed to the fabled "One with the Blessed Feet," said to kick any ball in a perfect arch." (6/14/2018) TO GET: Soccer event-only monument awarded for completing specific criteria.
10. Coral Bonsai (Fishing) - [Fame +30] "A gift from the fish freed by the merciful hands of Seiren. Caring for corals seems to be a new trend among fish." (7/28/2018) TO GET: With Seiren as your account main, enter fishing (any level), and when you have a fish on the line, hook it, and let the fish escape.
11. Little Brothernyan (Fishing) - [Fame +50] "Fishernyan's younger brother. Came all the way to Hasla following the footsteps of his brother. (7/28/2018) TO GET: With Fishernyan as your account main, enter fishing (any level), equip the NORMAL ROD and NORMAL FLOAT, and catch a fish.
12. Cat Harpoon (Fishing) - [Fame +100] "A harpoon Fishernyan gave to the Crusaders as a token of appreciation. He used to fish with this all the time." (7/29/2018) TO GET: "Complete all unlocked fishing levels" is the general chatter currently. However, I have everything but Volcano Crater unlocked, had everything except Desert Oasis (9/10) and Jungle Swamp (8/10) completed, caught the Desert Oasis boss fish while autofishing (completing that level), and got the monument when returning to town. My Jungle Swamp is still 8/10. This may be speculation, but the monument may simply be granted for completing the areas that were available before the new zones were released.

(Not sure if there's a better place for this anywhere else yet. If I find it, I'll move this.)

Hidden Skins

Similar to the hunt for difficult to obtain Monuments, Hidden Skin rewards have quietly been introduced with very little information to be found online. These are usually obtained by very specific and un-advertised means.

HIMIKO OF PRIMAL FLAMES [+1% Stats] - Semi-related to the Elegy of Kurenai monument, the highly coveted Himiko of Primal Flames skin (commonly referred to as "Dark Himiko") is extremely difficult to find details on. This rare skin can only be obtained by purposely failing the final phase of the final boss of Legend of Primal Flames: Crater of Primal Flames in a very specific manner. However simple as it sounds, there's very little feedback online regarding any methods so here's my experience:

• First, bring your best team to Crater of Primal Flames. Currently in Season 2, teams like Archon/Dara/Wolfgang seem to melt Oda before he can even perform his chains, so be careful and bring a team that can survive the mechanics rather than kill him quickly.

• I'm sure there's better guides for the final boss so please look for them elsewhere, but to be brief here, he has multiple phases. The more you fight, the more you'll familiarize yourself with the encounter. Quoting LargeBagel on a Reddit post, "For the final phase, he will always start with Blaze of Eight Narakas which is a 3-button pattern. He then will do two rounds of another skill called Consecutive Attacks before doing Blaze again. Consecutive Attacks will have four separate 1-button patterns. The second pattern happens immediately after the first. The third happens about 3 seconds after the second, and the fourth happens about 4 seconds after the third." These single block patterns are the ones you need to fail, causing Oda to perform a large explosion. You do NOT need to live through this explosion and can complete this after multiple runs. It's very tricky getting him to do this though, as for every incorrect press, you lose health, and a party member may die prematurely causing you to fail... at failing. Do NOT block-spam during the fight with Oda. This is why my mew has Resurrection, and with Archon's TMR, I can spam Sera till my hearts content. This took me a few months to get. The hardest part is keeping your cool. Persistence is key.
• Being ready for the block chains is key. Even though you're aiming to fail, you still need to fail the right way. The final phase (as stated above) starts with a slow 3-chain block pattern like the 3rd and 4th phases, and is followed by 4 single blocks that pop up one after the other. You need to get the 3-chain correct, and then fail enough of the singles to make the boss create the explosion. I found by saving a couple Resurrections at the end of my bar, I could get a couple blocks wrong, revive heroes as soon as they went down, and keep on trucking. The revives helped the team stay alive long enough to push through 2 or even 3 Blaze of Eight Narakas (3-chain) casts, providing a better opportunity to get it done properly, and also granting a lot more forgiveness and recovery opportunity for oopsies.
• You only get the reward/notification bubble after returning to Town. After every few tries that you feel you may have gotten the explosion, try returning to town to see if it clicked. Remember, you have to make the boss perform the explosion properly 3 times, as tricky as it is to do it once. You neither need to survive the explosion nor die from it. You simply have to make him cast it during the fight.
• As far as I'm aware, you do NOT need to have completed the Elegy of Kurenai monument criteria to be able to earn this skin. However, as I DID earn my Elegy monument before getting my Himiko skin, I cannot wholeheartedly say it's not required. The only battle here is the one to farm kills for the Elegy ring, or to farm fails for the Himiko skin. The choice is yours!

FREED LIONEL [+1% Stats] - A reward for unlocking the secret version/cutscene/ending for Fortress of Souls: Lord of Souls. (The story requirements for this secret ending have changed since original release. This is current as of 5/12/2018)

• Beat FoS10 normally (unlocking the Valencia Medal of Honor monument).
• Have 6* Joan, Lionel, Archon, and Aria. Also have Chronos unlocked and available to use.
• Enter the Facility > Library > Stories > The Hasla Chronicles and watch #4 "The Heir of Soltar".
• Enter FoS10 with Lionel, Archon, Aria, and Chronos. (Gear/Berries/Bread do not matter. You cannot fail this level.) Beat the level as one would normally.
• After beating Soltar, a special cutscene will play, after which you are awarded the Freed Lionel skin, and a VIP Reforging Ticket.

Special thanks to LargeBagel on Reddit for his early post on the Lionel skin, and thank you to the sparse whispers on Google about the Himiko skin. They were just enough to keep me trying until I figured it out. (IGN: 4klift)

Secret Heroes

Associated with the Elegy of Kurenai monument and Himiko of Primal Flames skin, Legend of Primal Flames also has a very unique 3* hero to earn, similar to the way the Freed Lionel skin is earned at the end of Fortress of Souls.

TSUKINO KURENAI [3* Warrior Hero] -

1. 6* Himiko, Susanoo, Saiga, Mundeok, and Champion Kurenai must all be unlocked.

   

   (Any levels/weapons/bread/champion level do not matter.)
2. Watch the cutscene, "THE EAST SUMMIT". (Library > Stories > The Hasla Chronicles > 3: The East Summit)
3. Defeat the boss in the final stage of Legend of Primal Flames, Crater of Primal Flames (using any team).

   

4. Farm Crater of Primal Flames until you get the ring "Relic of the First Priestess". This ring can only drop from the final boss. Since the introduction of S2, this ring may also be able to drop from any red chest dropped in the stage, meaning completion of the level is no longer required. (This may have been added as a catch-up mechanic for those mercenaries having a hard time beating Oda himself, so to allow ring farming while also farming the Himiko skin.) BE CAREFUL: This is a 5* attack power ring. It's white with red flames on it. Exercise caution when selling/extracting 5* Oda rings.
5. Equip this ring onto either Susanoo, Himiko, or Saiga.

   

6. Bring Susanoo, Himiko, Saiga, and Champion Kurenai into Crater of Primal Flames. (Remember, levels/training/weapons do NOT matter.)
7. When you reach the "boss wave", activate Kurenai immediately. You will be immune to damage and Kurenai will kill the boss. After watching the cutscenes, you will be rewarded with the 3* Tsukino Kurenai hero. (Make sure you lock her and be careful if you plan to bread/level her!)
8. In order to get the momument (#15 above - "Elegy of Kurenai"), go to the Library and rewatch the special cutscene you just unlocked and finished watching. This awards the momument.

Thank you to LargeBagel & KamaKiller on Reddit for their mentions and previous walk-through. (IGN: 4klift)
