How to unlock the Cracking the Code achievement in FINAL FANTASY IX - Definitive Guide

This can be unlocked after you have


Enter Madain Sari with Dagger in your party. Go to the porch in Eiko's house and Lani will run away. Exit Madain Sari and return with a party that doesn't have Dagger, or Amarant. Speak with Lani twice and enter the nearby small room, walk towards the screen and you should have a ! pop-up which will prompt some messages on what to do.

Head to Eidolon Wall in Madain Sari and you'll see the camera angle has changed from before. Walk right around the wall once and when you return to the entrance, you will hear a chime (need to have sounds effects on). Turn around and walk around the wall left until you hear the chime again. Turn around and walk right until you hear a chime and so on. Repeat this until you get a message that HP and MP is restored and status effects are removed (which should be after 9 times). Afterwards, head right and read every inscription on the mural. By returning to Ifrit's inscription and reading it again, you will learn Dagger's true name and unlock the achievement

edit : I went into config and turned sound off but left sound effects on, much easier to listen for the chimes from JamoneTheAfro in comments

The "chimes" are very soft and blend with the music very well. so listen closely.

I wonder how are you supposed to unlock it, without a guide...

I had some issues with this. In case anyone has the same problem I did (Lani would not mention the room, nor would there be chimes at the wall).

I had previously made her run off by having Dagger with me on Disc 3 at some point, so when I came back without Dagger she just said something about not thinking about money. I had to go get Dagger and Amarant again, bring them back to chase her off again, then come back without them and only then did she say something about the room and only after that did the chimes appear at the wall.

The player must return to Madain Sari after returning to Gaia from Terra. Enter with Dagger in your party. Go to the porch in Eiko's house, you will see Lani run away. Exit Madain Sari and return without Dagger, Eiko or Amarant and talk to Lani twice. You will be prompted to go to the Eidolon wall.
When you arrive, walk clockwise (to the right) a full turn of the wall. You will hear a chime when completed. Turn around and complete a turn in the other direction. Repeat until you have completed nine revolutions. Your HP/MP will be restored. Read every inscription on the wall. Re-read the inscription for Ifrit and you will learn a secret and unlock this trophy.

This trophy can be obtained on Disc 4 after returning to Gaia from Terra after the events in Pandemonium.

Enter Madain Sari with Dagger in your party. Go to the porch in Eiko's house and Lani will run away. Exit Madain Sari and return with a party that doesn't have Dagger, Eiko or Amarant. Speak with Lani twice and you will be prompted to go to the Eidolon Wall.

When you arrive, walk clockwise around the wall once. When you return to the entrance, you will hear a chime. Turn around and walk around the wall counter-clockwise until you hear the chime again. Turn around and walk clockwise until you hear a chime and so on. Repeat this until your HP and MP is restored (which should be after 9 times). Afterwards, read every inscription on the mural. By returning to Ifrit's inscription and reading it again, you will learn Dagger's true name and obtain this trophy.

This can be done any time after the events of Shimmering Island on Disc 3. You will need to perform a number of specific steps to find Dagger's true name. Follow the steps here (from the missables thread) to unlock the achievement.
