100% Achievements Guide

This guide will help you unlock all achievements in Sayonara Wild Hearts.

Introduction

Hey, I will try to explain as easily as possibe how to earn all achievements in the game.

Different Levels are underlined and different gameplay mechanics are bolded.

Let's pop!

Aries

Side A

“There is no place for me on the podium of a starway.”

Solution: Get no rank in Clair de Lune - score less than 5,000 points.

Side B

“I was consecutively in a hurry in ten different places.”

Solution: In ten different levels pause the game and choose to Skip Cutscene.

Taurus

Side A

“I find squares in every corner of the world.”

Solution: Collect all 68 square coins throughout all levels.

Side B

“I took a dozen quick breaks.”

Solution: In any level, pause the game and resume 12 times.

Gemini

Side A

“A magician made three of my wishes come true where one became two.”

Solution: In Hearts & Swords, hit obstacles repeatedly until the game asks if you want to skip that section, skip it and repeat that 3 times.

Side B

“You only live once yet I risk my life ten times.”

Solution: In Yolo Arcade, get a Risky! 10 times. Getting close to objects awards the Risky! prompt.

Cancer

Side A

“Twenty times I risk my life without failing where a diabolical trinity appear.”

Solution: In Doki Doki Rush, get a Risky! 20 times. You can do this by getting very close to the cars in the traffic. You have to do this in a single run - without deaths.

Side B

“Reborn in a daydream my secret is in the left eye four times.”

Solution: In Reverie, fly through the left eye obstacle 4 times. You have to do it in a single playthrough - fly through the eye and then crash into the wall. Repeat 3 times.

Leo

Side A

“Three are the times goldenly I began again.”

Solution: In Begin Again, get Gold rank 3 times in a row.

Side B

“Up is down and down is up where I slid twenty-five times.”

Solution: In Transonic Gravity, slide 25 times. You initiate a slide by going from one side to the other one in a single movement. Try to find a rhythm to it.

Virgo

Side A

“With the smallest of efforts I knock out.”

Solution: Get a knock out with just a single button press, ignoring the button mashing sequence, in any boss fight (for example in Begin Again).

Side B

“I heard her sing goodbye before my journey to the sky began.”

Solution: Listen to the entire opening song in Main Menu and then play Hearts & Swords.

Libra

Side A

“Small blood pumps are cursed among snaps and claps.”

Solution: In Parallel Universes, complete the track while avoiding the small hearts. Probably has to be deathless.

Side B

“Just from here I traveled ten years back in time.”

Solution: From the main menu, enter the Zodiac Riddles menu and rotate the zodiac wheel clockwise 10 times (from right to left).

Scorpius

Side A

“Like a worthless chariot I drift in the night.”

Solution: In Night Drift don’t score any points. Don't collect hearts and avoid drifting.

Side B

“In a devilish fight I am only good.”

Solution: During Fighting Hearts, get only Good! in the quick-time event prompts.

Sagittarius

Side A

“From a golden sun to a silvery star I go to a tower of bronze.”

Solution: Complete Inside with a Gold rank, then Heartbreak V with a Silver rank, then Heartbreak III with a Bronze rank.

Side B

“Inside I spin a thousand and eighty degrees.”

Solution: In Inside, after getting to the tunnel, spin around three times to get 1080 degrees.

Capricornus

Side A

“I am the perfect emperor.”

Solution: In Forest Ghost, get a Perfect! on every jump or QTE prompt.

Side B

“My secret is a majority of squares where all music play.”

Side B

“With only one attempt I stand on the podium.”

Solution: In Yolo Arcade get at least Bronze rank (250,000 points or more).

Pisces

Side A

“In the flat space I slip between two bullets quadruple times.”

Solution: In The World We Knew, fly between two bullets shot from the airships. This is achieved much easier with the ships that are shooting bullets vertically. Do this 4 times.

Side B

“Happiness is a quintet of squares where one journey ends.”

Solution: In Wild Hearts Never Die, collect all the squares (5 in total) in a single playthrough.

Scorpio A & B sucks. I managed to all expect the 2 in few hours only but that no drift & mediocrity achievements really sucks

[HailstormDeath]

Does anyone have tips for Taurus B?
Do you have to be paused for a certain amount of time? A certain amount of time between pauses?

Because at the very least spamming it doesnt work

[ReaderlyRobin]

Does Scorpius B have to be deathless? It's my last achievement, and I have gotten it a few times I think with only "good!"s and the achievement still hasn't popped...

[Thunderbird]

I can confirm that Libra Side A needs to be deathless, I didn't collect any small hearts before and after death and it didn't pop up.

[ReaderlyRobin]

Aha! It's the flashing obstacle that sort of resembles a smiley face. I didn't notice it at first!

[Mhmmm]

I didn't play the game for a long time, but there is a such moment where you can fly through left or right hole, you need to fly through the left one and then fail on purpose, repeat that 3 more time and you unlock the cheevo.

[ReaderlyRobin]

Dumb question probably, but can you be more specific when you say the "left eye obstacle" for Cancer B? I just played through the level again and I don't see anything that looks like an eye... What am I missing?

[Apollyon]

ohhhh that makes sense lmao I thought people were just guessing till they figured out how to get them lol

[Mhmmm]

The achievement descriptions are supposed to give you a very vague hint how to unlock them.

[Apollyon]

What are these achievements a reference to? How would you normally know what to do to get them?
