Sayonara Wild Hearts Trophy Guide — Roadmap

Briefing

Sayonara Wild Hearts is not a long or difficult game to platinum, but you will need to dig into it to achieve 100%.  The game requires you to memorize some of the tracks so that you understand what hazards to avoid and where the square collectibles are located.



This makes it difficult to put the game away for a few days, and then try to come back to it.  Unless your memory is impeccable, you’ll likely forget some of the key points.

There are 23 tracks (songs) in total.  The trophies in this game are unlocked via the Zodiac Riddles.  Use the clues from the riddles to satisfy the conditions required to complete them to unlock the trophy.

Each of the tracks are associated with the Major Arcana.

Difficulty

There are no missable trophies in this game.  The hardest trophy to obtain is probably the Aquarius B trophy, which requires you to get at least Bronze rank in Yolo Arcade.  Yolo Arcade is unlocked after getting Gold rank in all of the tracks.

If you’re able to at least complete the first half of the game with Gold rank performance, then it’s easily achievable.

  1. Play through the game all the way through once (unlocks Album Arcade).
  2. Play through the game again: 1) going for Gold Rank (unlocks Yolo Arcade), and 2) unlock trophies.
  3. One playthrough through Album Arcade (Capricornus B trophy).
  4. Another playthrough on Yolo Arcade (Gemini B & Aquarius B trophies).

If you prefer to Gold Rank each track immediately (skipping Step 1), that’s fine.  You can tailor this however you want.


Scoring

The scoring is as follows:

Small heart equals 1 point.  Outlined heart equals 25 points.  Square equals 1000.  Quick-time prompts can be up to 250 for a Perfect.

There are some other possible ways to score points, such as getting a Risky, Boost, Slide, Knockouts, etc.  These points vary.

Sayonara Wild Hearts Trophy Guide 02
From left to right: 1) small heart, 2) outlined heart, 3) square, and 4) quick-time prompt.

The key to getting high scores is to collect as many Outlined Hearts as possible, and not die (hit any obstacles).

Outlined Hearts are different than the others in that they stack.  Your first heart will be 25, but your second one will be 50 (+25 from the 1st, and +25 for the 2nd).



After collecting your 49th Outlined Heart without dying (which is worth 1,225), your 50th one will be worth 1,500.  Dying RESETS your Outline Hearts counter back to +25.

Of course, you should also attempt to get the squares if you can, since they are 1000 each.

But consider this: there are some Squares located late in some tracks that you may want to ignore in favor of the Outlined Hearts.  You’d have to collect 40 Outline Hearts to equal 1000 points.

After this point, if you are forced to choose between Squares or Outlined Hearts, go for the hearts.  This tip leans more towards the later tracks which are longer.

  1. For the “fly through the left eye” thing, you don’t have to play the stage 4 times. Just fly through the left eye, die on the next panel, and repeat until you’ve flown through the left eye 4 times. Much faster.

  2. I think you should increase Trophy Difficulty & 100% Completion Time.
    The game is not that easy and I doubt 5 hours are enough to get everything.
