Frog Island Memory Pearl Locations Guide

Wandering through the serene environments of Frog Island, uncovering its secrets brings a rewarding sense of discovery that adds depth to your journey. Among its most intriguing collectibles are the 12 unique Memory Pearls scattered across the island, each tied to a piece of the story or a hidden memory that enriches the game’s narrative fabric.

Unlike the pearls you might casually fish up during your adventures, these Memory Pearls are tangible objects deliberately placed within the world. While some rest in plain sight, others require careful inspection or a timely dig to reveal their hiding spots, demanding a keen eye and some patience as you explore.

The following breakdown will detail every one of the 12 Memory Pearl locations following their compendium order, offering helpful clues to make tracking them down a more straightforward task.

What Are Memory Pearls in Frog Island?

Memory Pearls stand as one of the two main collectible categories in Frog Island’s beautifully crafted world. Early in your adventure, you may have stumbled upon the Sky Blue Pearl near the pond in the Forest Clearing. As you near the conclusion, Marina will task you with gathering all Memory Pearls, connecting you more closely to the game’s emotional undertones.

Each pearl is imbued with a memory you can listen to once the final sister’s story quest is wrapped up. Meet Marina afterward to experience these recorded recollections, adding an intimate layer to the game lore.

There are precisely 12 Memory Pearls, each with a distinct color designation that helps differentiate them in your compendium.

Note: Remember that pearls acquired through fishing belong to a different category. These are loot items you can sell for in-game currency and don’t count toward the Memory Pearl collection.

All 12 Memory Pearl Locations in Frog Island

1. Coral Pearl – Garden Shrine

Type: Diggable

The Coral Pearl hides within the Garden Shrine. Due to its secretive placement, it isn’t visible on the surface and requires your shovel to unearth.

Dig carefully in the designated spot to retrieve this pearl and mark it off your list.

Refer to the accompanying image for the precise digging location to avoid unnecessary trial and error.

2. Cream Pearl – Central Isle

Type: End game

The Cream Pearl can only be collected after completing the entire game. Found in Central Isle, it remains inaccessible until post-game events unfold.

To acquire it, ensure you have secured all blessings, completed Terra’s quest, and observed the changes in the area that allow access to this elusive pearl.

3. Sky Blue Pearl – Forest Clearing

Type: Normal

The Sky Blue Pearl is the most straightforward to locate, often one of the first you encounter near the pond in the Forest Clearing. If you haven’t found it yet, it’s an obvious spot to check.

Taking a moment to zoom in around the water’s edge will reveal the pearl effortlessly.

4. Periwinkle Pearl – Kitchen

Type: Normal

This pearl is tucked away in the Kitchen area, but is hidden from clear view initially. Completing The Northern Bridge quest is essential before this area is fully accessible.

Before finishing the quest, you’ll see only a broken pier, preventing you from spotting the pearl.

Once the quest is complete, zooming in around the wooden pier’s gaps will reveal the Periwinkle Pearl.

Carefully check near the pier’s planks for the hidden gem.

5. Cyan Pearl – Volcano

Type: Normal

Located in the Volcano area, the Cyan Pearl is notoriously difficult to spot without zooming in at the right place.

Focus your camera around the corners forming a reversed ‘Y’ shape to locate it.

Given the pearl’s diminutive size, high zoom is critical to seeing it clearly.

6. Silver Pearl – Maiden’s Hut

Type: Normal

The Silver Pearl is found near the Maiden’s Hut. Many initially search around the hut itself, but the pearl is actually perched above in the trees.

Zoom in on the tree topping the hut’s upper-left corner to spot the pearl resting there.

A keen gaze upward is necessary to uncover this hidden collectible.

7. Lavender Pearl – Beach

Type: Normal

Near Reed’s shop on the Beach, the Lavender Pearl waits between the third and fourth wooden step down to the shore.

A subtle zoom reveals this carefully concealed treasure tucked in the sands.

8. Orchid Pearl – Ruins

Type: Diggable

Within the ancient Ruins, the Orchid Pearl lies underground.

Use your shovel to dig up this pearl, right in front of the centerpiece archway.

Carefully focus your efforts in the middle of the arch for success.

9. Magenta Pearl – Flower Fields

Type: Normal

The Magenta Pearl is found in the Flower Fields near a palm tree situated on the right side.

Zoom closely around the tree to spot the pearl nestled there.

A subtle shift in perspective makes this treasure pop into view.

10. Mint Pearl – Home

Type: Hidden

The Mint Pearl is hidden behind your Home, completely out of direct sight.

Only by zooming in and hovering your cursor over the exact concealed spot will it become visible and collectible.

11. Seafoam Pearl – Pebble Isles

Type: Normal

The Seafoam Pearl can be found on the Pebble Isles, nestled against the third palm tree from the left.

Zoom in on that palm tree to reveal the pearl securing a spot among the leaves.

12. Rose Pearl – Driftwood Shores

Type: Diggable

At the Driftwood Shores, the Rose Pearl is buried beneath the sand.

Utilize your shovel again and dig near the second small grass patch from the bottom to unearth this pearl.

This marks your third and final Memory Pearl requiring digging to obtain.

These 11 pearls are accessible once you unlock their respective areas and do not demand you finish the game first.

The exception is the Cream Pearl on Central Isle, which becomes available only after receiving all blessings and completing Terra’s quest.

Your exploration and collection will often involve close camera work since many pearls are tiny or obscured without careful zooming.

Patience and attention to subtle visual cues go a long way when tracking these down.

What Will You Get for Collecting All Memory Pearls?

Completing the full set of 12 Memory Pearls is a prerequisite to earn the The Saint achievement, a notable milestone in Frog Island.

Beyond the achievement, each pearl contains a special memory that comes alive when you engage with Marina after finishing the sisters’ story arc, enhancing the emotional resonance of the game.
