Sayonara Wild Hearts Platinum Guide and Zodiac Riddles

PS4 / PS5

Zodiac Riddles are specific challenges rather than a simple score chase. Some ask for unusual actions; others happen in the two post-story arcade modes. Unlock those modes and learn the tracks first, then separate collection, timing and single-life attempts.

Original 2019 PS4 edition and native 2025 PS5 release. The 24 riddles match; Remix Arcade is not required.

Base trophies: 25 per list, including 24 riddles
YOLO Arcade: Unlocks with gold ranks in the regular songs
Remix Arcade: PS5 extra with no platinum requirements

Unlock Album Arcade and check each song

Finish The Fool’s journey to open Album Arcade. Then use song selection: your square pickups are marked there, so revisit only tracks with empty outlines. Taurus A needs the full collection, while Pisces B needs all five Wild Hearts Never Die squares in one run of that song. Track those requirements separately.

Track square pickups, not the small scoring hearts.

Clear the riddles with unusual inputs

Avoid pickups in Clair de Lune to finish with no rank for Aries A. For Libra B, start on its tile in the zodiac wheel and rotate counter-clockwise at least ten full turns. On a separate attempt, listen to the whole title song and then launch Hearts & Swords for Virgo B. Higher scores are not what these objectives need.

For Taurus B, pause and resume twelve times in quick succession.

Separate perfect timing from good timing

In Doki Doki Rush, narrowly pass twenty obstacles without crashing for Cancer A: the Risky! notifications are what count. In Forest Ghost aim for Perfect! on every prompt for Capricornus A. Fighting Hearts instead needs Good! on all 21 prompts for Scorpius B: watch the visual window rather than aiming for perfect timing.

For Leo A, get three consecutive golds in Begin Again with no other result in between.

Separate Album Arcade from YOLO Arcade

In Album Arcade, collect more than half the squares and reach the results screen for Capricornus B. To open YOLO Arcade, first earn gold on every regular song. Once it is open, dedicate one attempt to the 250,000-point bronze for Aquarius B and another to the ten Risky! moves for Gemini B if risky lines compromise your run.

Bronze in YOLO counts on the results screen; you do not need to clear every song without dying.

Check the remaining riddles on the wheel

Return to the wheel and check both A and B for every sign. Use song select to replay only the missing condition: in Heartbreak IV, for example, Aquarius A needs forty teleports. On PS5, save Remix Arcade for later; the new score attack does not replace Album Arcade or YOLO Arcade for their trophy riddles.

The platinum follows the 24 riddles, regardless of your Remix Arcade score.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need gold on every song?

Yes, to open YOLO Arcade, where two riddles are solved. It is not a general rank trophy; it unlocks the required mode.

Must I complete Remix Arcade on PS5?

No. That mode was added to the native PS5 version. Its 25-trophy list still consists of the 24 riddles and the platinum.

Do Album Arcade squares replace normal collection?

Treat them separately: Capricornus B measures pickups in the Album Arcade run; Taurus A asks for all squares in the regular tracks.
