The achievements in Phoenotopia: Awakening are in the form of badges. When the criteria are met, open the present box from the left inventory menu to reveal the badge itself and obtain the corresponding Steam achievement.

Badge Types
All the badges can be categorised into three types:
1) Collect certain items (e.g. obtaining all weapons)
2) Perform certain tasks for a number of times (e.g. hunting 25 critters)
3) Complete challenges (e.g. finishing the game in under 4 hours)

The "Type-2" badges have their recommended grinding spots listed at the bottom, while the "Type-3" badges have relevant resources linked afterwards. The "Type-1" badges, listed below, is the main focus of this guide:
  • Fluffy Pillow Connosieur - Sleep wherever it is possible to sleep.
  • Snooper - Read people's personal journals.
  • Ending Arsenal - It's not possible to be overprepared! Find all weapons.
  • Cat Petter - Pet 9 different cats.
  • Ethics - Do the right thing, especially when no one's looking.
  • Not for Profit - Find three people who will provide service even if you're a little short on money.

Liag Version & Cheat Mod
The (Steam-exclusive) Liag mode provides totally balanced buffs to a technique and a few tools. Despite being an April Fools' joke build, it is still freely accessible today.
You can still obtain achievements normally after switching to this version.

There is also a cheat mod[www.nexusmods.com] (by Max Vollmer) that can provide players perks such as unlimited items and health.
However, achievements are PERMANENTLY disabled for that specific save file even if the mod is later uninstalled.

Grinding Spots for Other Badges
This section is for the "Type-2" badges that requires performing certain tasks a number of times.



Fishing Novice / Fishing Pro
Selling raw fish to Sooty the harpy allows you to earn some extra RIN along the way, so the recommended fishing spots would either be Terrelum (close to Sooty) or World's End (with respawning Gold Dragon Scales). Also recommended to first get the Serpent Rod for easier fishing.

Quick Hits / Hard Hits
Because hitting certain objects (Fruit, Cactus, Switch, Animals, etc.) counts towards badge progression as well, it is a good idea to keep hitting sturdy foes, such as hitting 2 overlapping Scabers at once.

Overworld Encounters
The most profitable overworld encounters might be the Arboar ones in Forbidden Lands as their spoils sell decently well. Perhaps try encountering the Boar Boy as well because of how quickly you can exit his stage.

Box Breaker
The 5 food crates in Panselo Village respawn immediately if you do not pick up the food. Simply enter, break the boxes, then exit and re-enter - the boxes will come back immediately.

Experienced Cook / Experienced Diner
There is a Nutri-Food printer near where the 6th Song is learned. This source of (cookable) food is unlimited, making it an economic option for both the eating and cooking achievements. Another convenient alternative is purchasing Perro Eggs in Cosette Village for 5 R each.

Survivalist
The save point in Adar's House has one respawning Scorpion right nearby, whereas the save point in between Scorched Lands and Mul Caves (accessible from Subterra rail car) has two Scorpions right nearby.

Treasure Hunter / Recycler Pro
See also: Money Guide

Recycling counts towards both badges at once. But if you are looking only for money, try breaking Scabers along Wheat Road, then save and reload to have them respawn. (You will need to be able to deal 33 DMG in a single hit)

Dekea Butter can be sold for more than it costs. If you the money to spare, purchasing Gold Dragon Scales for recycling is faster but you lose one-third of the invested RIN per conversion.

@Toast
The in-game timer does indeed continue regardless of pauses, even if the display does not seem to update in real time. You can check this by entering the pause screen where it tells you
"10 minute 0 second since last saved"
of sort, wait about 10 seconds, check again and it will tell you something along the line of
"10 minute 10 second since last saved".

Additionally, the timer would not reset if you choose to continue right after dying. As such, most players aiming for the achievement would prefer exiting to title screen first before loading the most recent save file.

Concerning the speedrunner achievement - does the in-game timer continue to run during pause? Not necessarily inventory menu pause, but during the settings/controls menu pause?

@Zesc Fixed, thanks!

Heads-up, the link to the Wiki in the Introduction appears to be broken.

Perfect. I'll just dive in then, and bookmark this guide for mop-up later. Thanks for the helpful answer :)

To alexrdavies, "Zero Trial" and "Speed Runner" are the only permanently missables in this game (excluding the few trivia quests in Panselo Village) , since both require basically beating the game under heavy restraints. These two are really intended for experienced players, so first-timers are most definitely gonna miss and you shouldn't be worrying too much about them for now.

I also talked a bit more about them in this post: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/1436590/discussions/0/3041607080044675298/#c3041607080059159295

Thanks!

Are any of these badges missable - if I just play the game blind for one playthrough, can I go back and pick up the things I missed, or are there some I need to get first time around?

Thanks bro
