Eternal Sonata is a role-playing game developed by Tri-Crescendo and Namco Bandai. Released on September 17, 2007, the game takes place inside the mind of the famous composure, Chopin, as he drifts between life and death. In his dream state he meets a young girl with an awful destiny and a boy who fights to save her from her fate. Filled with vivid colors and an engaging story, Eternal Sonata is well worth the time to play through.
Eternal Sonata has 22 achievements, totaling up to the usual 100 gamer points. The game requires a minimum of two playthroughs to get all of the achievements. Each playthrough should take between 30 and 40 hours depending on your skill with RPGs and your ability to grasp the game’s changing mechanics. The difficulty of the achievements is not very high, but some require you to find a lot of hidden items, so you will need to scour the game world and pick them all up.
WARNING! There ARE spoilers in this guide as to story progression, boss names, and even character events. The game’s achievements are all considered secret achievements for that very reason, so read with caution!

Playthrough Guide
It is extremely helpful to follow a walkthrough if you are looking to complete the achievements as quickly as possible. This guide is very well done and will lead you to every score piece and EZI. The author does a great job directing you to everything, as well as pointing out places that will need to be hit on your second playthrough.
Playthrough 1
- In this playthrough you want to complete EVERYTHING you can:
- Collect all of the score pieces available in the first playthrough (see the “Score Piece Collector” achievement at the bottom for more information.
- Complete the Mysterious Unison dungeon near the end of the game for the score pieces and achievement located within.
- Watch for the clues (or follow the linked guide) to engage in all three available fights with Pirate Dolce in this playthrough.
- Don’t worry about getting any of the EZIs in playthrough 1. Score pieces, party levels, and the Hero’s Crest carry over from the previous playthrough, but EZIs do not. Since there are a bunch that you cannot get until playthrough 2, it’s a waste of time to go for them in playthrough 1.
- You’ll be playing the “Encore” for playthrough 2, which is a combination of New Game + and increased difficulty. Enemies are stronger, but you keep your party levels, score pieces, and the Hero’s Crest. To get 100% on the achievements you do not need to complete the game a second time (assuming you followed the guide and got everything available in playthrough 1). You will only need to reach the Xylophone Tower in Chapter 7.
- The main thing that you should be concentrating on in playthrough 2 is collecting all of the EZI pieces for the “EZI Worshipper” achievement.
- Mop up any Score Pieces you missed in playthrough 1 (or that weren’t available until playthrough 2).
- Complete all 4 Pirate Dolce fights.
- Follow the trade sequence through the game to get the glowing orb that unlocks the treasure at the top of Xylophone Tower.
