Eternal Hope Trophy & Achievement Guide

Welcome to the Eternal Hope Trophy and Achievement guide! Eternal Hope is an indie side scrolling platformer with 30 Trophies and 29 Achievements to earn.

  • 2/10 Estimated Difficulty
  • 5 Estimated Hours to completion
  • 1 Playthrough at least with checkpoint select if anything is missed.
  • 11 Missable but can easily be cleaned up via checkpoint select.

This is a very relaxed list to complete. Everything on this list except for the collectibles and one miscellaneous Trophy/Achievement are tied to story progression. Simply playing through and beating the game will earn you the majority of the Trophies/Achievements on this list.

Kind of Glitched

It would appear that some of the story related Trophies will not pop if you skip the cutscene that they are tied to. Make sure to not skip any of the cutscenes in order to ensure that all of the story Trophies pop correctly.

If this happens, you can reload the closest checkpoint and watch whatever cutscene you need and it’ll pop.

This is unconfirmed for the Xbox version.

Your Soul(s) is Mine

As noted above, the collectible Trophies/Achievements can be missed. The collectibles in Eternal Hope are souls and there are 10 of them.

While playing the game, you’ll be given the ability to change the environment and reveal hidden things to help you complete the puzzles in the game. The collectible souls will not be visible until you use this ability by pressing / . You’ll likely find most without too much trouble, but do not worry if you miss any of them.

Below is a video guide detailing all of the locations of the souls if you don’t prefer the written guides.

Checkpoint Select

There is a very helpful checkpoint select system that you can use by pausing the game. You don’t even have to finish the game for it to become available. The checkpoints will be available for replay immediately after beating them. So, if you miss any of the Trophies/Achievements, you can jump very closely to where they are and get them.

All of the Trophies/Achievements are listed in the order that you will get them in the guide below.

Destroy Heliel’s heart.

This is an unmissable story related Trophy/Achievement.

This is earned after going through a multi-phase boss battle.

The main thing to remember during this whole thing is that the boss will one hit kill you if you’re out in the open for too long. It’s basically on a short timer that will begin as soon as you step out in the open.

There will be structures and pillars that you can hide behind to reset this unseen timer. You won’t be able to dodge the attack, but you can stop it. If the boss jumps to attack, quickly get behind something to hide and the attack will stop mid animation. You wont have a lot of time to do this, but it is possible.

Phase 1

You’ll begin in a room with a coffin that you can pull and push next to a big cracked vase. Stand on top of the cracked vase and jump on it to break it. Then, grab the coffin and pull it to the left to reveal a hidden ladder. Climb down the ladder and be ready to glide as the ladder will break.

The boss puzzle will begin in the room you drop into. There will be another big vase down here and three pillars that you can use for cover.

Push the vase to the right and line it up with the first pillar. Climb on top of the vase so that you are hidden from the boss’ view behind the pillar.

final boss eternal hope

Get down and push the vase to the right to the second pillar and do the same thing again. Get on top to hide yourself. Upon reaching the second pillar, the big stone blocking the third pillar will sink down.

Run to the third pillar without the vase. Wait here for a second and then continue right. Jump off the ledge and glide all the way up. You’ll still be in danger here, so getting to the top will hide you. Let go of glide to fall and then catch yourself with glide again to reach the path on the right.

boss eternal hope

Push the vase to the right until it falls. Stand where it fell and jump on it to push it further down. Jump again in the same place to break the vase to reveal the hidden path. Continue following the path and you’ll reach the next phase.

Phase 2

As soon as you get off the ladder, go to the left and drop down. Stand behind the left leg of the platform you just dropped from.

When the boss appears, it’ll destroy some of the environment and reveal a gargoyle statue hanging from a chain.

Stand out in the open just a bit to bait the boss into attacking. As soon as it jumps, get back behind your cover. The gargoyle statue will fall down to you when the boss jumps back into place.

Push the now fallen statue to the right. Remember to not be out in the open for too long. When the statue gets to the right side leg of the platform you entered on, an enemy will come toward you from the right. It wont be able to get you as the statue will block it.

Pull the statue back to the left leg of the platform. Use it to climb back on to the top of the platform get behind the broken and titled pillar on the right for cover.

Jump down to the ground and run to the right as quickly as you can. The enemy will chase you, but will trip. Run to the small structure with the light. As you pass it, press / and a pillar will raise from the ground to the left blocking the enemy.

Hide for a second and then run to the light switch that is now off. Interact with it and as soon as it turns back on, run right. The pillar blocking the enemy on the left will lower and the pillar blocking your path on the right will raise allowing you to escape.

Jump and glide over the water to the next phase.

Phase 3

As soon as you land in the next area, continue running to the right. The enemy will still be chasing despite falling in that first pit of water. Jump over the second pit of water where you can see a log held up by two chains.

Hide for a second behind the wide structure just after the chained log.

Run up the hill to the right just a bit and then jump left to get on the platform. Get behind the pillar as soon as you get up on the platform.

You should see a square box looking object just to your left. This is what the chains are attached to that are holding the log below. Push that box as far left as it’ll let you and then get behind the pillar on the right again.

Jump back down and jump across the water with the log. The enemy will still be in the water pit. Get close and it’ll start chasing you again.

As soon as it starts chasing you, run right. Run as soon as it notices you in the water. The timing can be a little tricky. Keep going up the hill and you’re gonna see a ladder. Don’t jump to it. Instead, press down on the D-Pad at the ledge to hang down.

The enemy will jump from the ledge and be eaten by the bigger enemy below.

Climb back up to the ledge and jump to the ladder. Climb up and continue running to the right and you’ll come to the next phase.

Phase 4

Run to the right and take cover behind the right leg of the platform that the ball of light is on.

Continue going right as soon as the enemy to your left is starts to walk left and run to the three switches that are off. Run and turn them on with /  in a specific order.

Middle, left, right.

The pillar blocking your path on the right will lower.

The enemy will be coming after you, so be quick and time it right. Run to the right and jump on the ladder.

Climb the ladder and run to the left. It’s a long run so don’t stop or the boss will get you. Take cover behind the pillar.

Grab the light ball and drop down.

Run to the left and stand on the platform to lower a pillar to the left. This will let an enemy out.

Make sure to watch out for the other enemy coming at you from the right. The ball of light will prevent the enemies from killing you when facing them.

When the two enemies are out and near you, stand in the middle between the two platforms on the ground. The enemies should be standing on them.
