Important information
  • This guide contains spoilers. So I recommend finishing the game before following this guide.
  • If there is anything wrong, misspelled or just a question, tell me in the comments and I will fix it.
---[Main game]---
Here I will include the achievements available in the base game.
You've met a terrible fate
In the High Energy Lab, there is a ball that you can slide. Slide it to open a window on the first floor. Next to the window (right) you will find square pieces with black and white holes. Put one a black and another white in the holes in front of the window. Then, launch the probe to the black hole, and before its enters there, remove any of the pieces you previously put there.
Apparently there is another way of unlocking this achievement. If at the end of the cycle you must be in the Ash Twin project. Then the nucleus will open revealing a black hole. Enter there, and you will start a new loop with a clone of yourself in the Ash Twin project. You can go there to talk with the clone if you want. The achievement will be unlocked as soon as that loop ends.
Hey, what's this button do?
Just push the eject button in the right part of the controls.
Hotshot
Enter in the Sun Station without warping to it. Just with your spaceship. This is a difficult archievement to explain and obtain. So I'll just put a video:
Beginner's luck
Finish the game in one loop.
Here's a video of a speedrun guide:
It was worth a shot
Just after entering in your spaceship go as far as you can from the solar system, And wait until the loop ends.
Rigidbody
There is a satellite orbiting the home planet. Sometimes when you are at the start of each loop you may see a white light in the sky moving very fast (Do not confuse with the orbital cannon, which is a blue light). All you have to do is to crash against it.
If for some reason the archievemenst doesn´t trigger. Flying close to it, locking on and matching velocity should work. Even though it doesn't deorbit.
Tip: In the small museum inside the tree you will see a screen that shows the photos of the satellite.
From the Hearth to the Moon
Make the training spaceship crash with the moon.
Deep impact
There are 3 ways of doing this:
-You have to enter in Giant's Deep's core without using cyclones. Go as fast as possible (10.000/12.000 m/s) and crash against the Giant's Deep's sea. You don't need to pass throught the electric barrier, just the current.
-Another way to obtain the archievement is this: Go to Brittle Hollow's Gravity Cannon and recall the ship. If you take the Nomai ship there it just sinks straight down to the core and you get the achievement as the ship drags you past the current. (Don't forget the far right slot for the Nomai Ship causes the ship to lose all momentum and face downwards towards the nearest planet).
- (This one apparently works better) The last method is to wait with your ship on Gabbro's island until it gets launched into space, and then land under the island while it's up in space and it will push you under the current.
Tip: This archievement is the hardest in the game, It may take you between 0.5-3 hours to unlock it.
Another important tip: Apparently capping your game to 30 fps makes the ship break through the current more easily.
Harmonic convergence
You need to hear all the other explorer's music at once. To unlock it you will need to go as far as possible from the solar system while facing it. With the scope activated until all of them converge in a point. It is also obtainable in the endgame. When everyone is at the fire playing their instruments you can start moving back with the scope pointing at the center until the archievement pops up.
Pro-Tip: Do this with the sound activated to do the experience worth it.
It belongs in a museum
Bring the forge core (the one in the mothership or in the Ember Twin) or black/white hole cores to the museum. The scrolls and projection tables won't work.
Die hard
You will need to suffer and heal 1000 damage points and stay alive until the loop ends. My method is:
  • Find a bonfire (I reccomend the one in the moon) park the spaceship near it. Make sure you have the space suit on.
  • Go to the bonfire and step over it until the suits tells "Vitals critical".
  • Step out.
  • Repeat 13-18 times.
  • Don't die until the end of the supernova.
Pchooooooo!
Shoot your ship from a gravity cannon. In Ember twin, there is one. Land your ship in the centre of it. Then search for an U-structure with a slideable ball inside. Move the ball to the top of the long arm. The ship will go to space and you will unlock an archievent at the cost of that loop's ship.
Gone in 60 seconds
At the start of the loop jump in the bonfire.
Mmmm, cancirnogens...
Roast and eat 10 marshmallows. Just introduce the marshmallows in the bonfire's flame, take them out, extinguish the fire, eat and repeat.
Cutting it close
In this archievement you need to use a determined amount of oxygen as propulsion after depleting the fuel. It doesn't need to be done in one loop and it is not necessary to die.
Mica's wrath
Just send the the model ship to the sun or the Hollow's Lantern. You will know that it has arrived there when you lose control of the ship and you are unable to bring it back. I reccomend to send it to the sun, Hollow's lantern is almost impossible.
Archaeologist
Fill all the entries in the game.
I would reccomend to follow this guide if you want to have a better view of what you are missing:

---[Echoes of the eye]---
Here are the DLC's archievements, I reccomend to finish the DLC and main game before proceeding.
Videos won't be avaliable until I find or record them.
Silence of the cartographer
You must break the Deep Space Satellite by against with it. Also, you don't need the DLC to unlock this one.
Simulation Hypothesis
Get the lamp artifact that allows you to enter in the "dream world" and sleep in a normal campfire.
Around the world in 90 second
Use the raft to cross the Stranger under 90 seconds.
Tubular
Surf the wave on a raft at for least 15 seconds.
Early adopter
Try using the second artifact prototype found in the lab to enter "dream world".
The Grate Filter
Cross the damm through one of the two grates found in the base.
Flat Hearther
Get crushed by an elevator on the "dream world".
Celsius 232.78
Burn a slide reel in a campfire. (Nobody expects the spanish inquisiton)
Ghost in the Machine
Reach the 3 Forbidden Archives withouth being caught by the pursuers.




I recomend following this guide created by rat baby since it is specialized on how to unlock this archievement and will explain it better than I will ever do:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2615013749
Sleep. Wake. Repeat.
You need to be woken up from the "dream world" in 5 different ways in the same loop.




What worked for me was:
  • Being burned alive.
  • Swimming with the lamp.
  • Getting caught with the lamp by a pursuer.
  • Falling from a high place.
  • Woken up by a bell.
Fire Arrows
Shoot the scouter to the artificial sun in the stranger. I reccomend trying it in a elevated place like the tower on cinder isles.
1/900
Find the golden poop. It is located on top of the main house in the Endless Canyon at "dream world". Which is accesible after turning off the house lights.



You'll Never Take Me Alive!
Escape the pursuers by jumping to your death, like water or from a high place.
Oof Ouch, My Bones
Get your neck cracked by a pursuer. To do this you just need to be catched by one without your lantern.

you can get flat hearther by getting into your suit, jumping back down to where you wake up, and standing under the elevator to the ship as soon as you wake up

oof ouch my bones

Btw, my personal tip for Mica's wrath: do it when the sun reaches red giant. At that point, the sun will cover the whole sky, so you dont even need to aim it, but just fly it up a bit in advance and then wait for gravity to do its thing

great ahhchivment guide

I am having troubles with "You'll never take me alive", I tried to jump off the build in the endless canyon while being chased and twice in shrouded woodlands by walking and jumping off, all failed.

For 1/900 you now need to have the lantern to light a candle at the top of the house and instead of golden poop you find a little Korok Owl. Thanks for this awesome guide, Lexbya!

>>Quambas
> Island trick is guaranteed, don't bother trying to actually rocket into Giant's Deep
That's quitter talk.
>>Jackson =D
> Deep Impact is absolutely killing me. [...]
My friend did it at 60fps on first attempt going ~13km/s
Lexbya  [author] 2 May, 2023 @ 10:44am 
Fixed, probably I should revise all the DLC bacause I did them way faster and with much less interest
DNR 28 Apr, 2023 @ 4:03pm 
In "Early Adopter" achievement, you misspelled prototype
Quambas 17 Mar, 2023 @ 12:00pm 
Island trick is guaranteed, don't bother trying to actually rocket into Giant's Deep
