The achievements are somewhat easy and most of them related to secrets and collectibles. The only unmissable achievement is the ending one. For everything else you have this guide.

For the dark ending you need to finish the game without collecting all tree seeds. Not planting them is not enough. You can't have them in your inventory or else the spirit will just ask you to grow them further and you can't continue without planting them.



For the light ending you need to collect and grow all 12 tree seeds. See their respective achievements below.

Rescue 222 daps. That means take them to your space garden teleporter at the end of each chapter.

This is more difficult than it sounds. You have to make sure you don't miss any daps and don't lose too many either. Especially in the later chapters the exploding ghosts and other enemies can easily decimate entire groups of them. You also don't want to use your bomb ability too much. Many of the ghost ambushes that are meant to be bombed can just be dealt with using the shotgun.
I only used bombs against the big red daps that spawn from turning on the black orb switches in chapter 8.


This list gives you an overview over the number of daps in each chapter. Chapters not listed have no daps. The numbers already factor in daps that you have to leave behind, e.g. because of doors that trap them.
Chapter 1: 27
Chapter 2: 42
Chapter 3: 17
Chapter 4: 30
Chapter 5: 48
Chapter 6:
There are around 85 in total but you have to blow up quite a few barriers and use bombs defensively so the number you can get is probably 40-50. I had 44.
Chapter 8:
Difficult to tell how many there are. The buried black orb switches sometimes spawn 4 daps, sometimes none. I counted around 10 of them spawning 4 daps so there are probably around 60 in total. I had 33 in the end.

Beat the game without dying. This is rather easy compared to other games. I recommend playing through the game at least once before attempting it. There are too many situations where you get ambushed and die in half a second if you're not prepared.
I also recommend using keyboard and mouse. With mouse you can shoot across the entire screen and take out enemies before they become a threat. With controller you're limited to a small circle around your character and have to let enemies come very close.

There are only a few situations that can kill you. It's mainly ambushes later on. The huge red dap boss is also a threat and if the deer boss reaches you in a chase sequence it's instantly game over.

Ambushes
They're mostly triggered by switches or proximity. If you know they're coming you can usually dash to safety or pre-charge your weapon, hence my recommendation to play through the game once before so you know where they are.

Big Red Dap Boss
Don't waste your dashes and don't panic. Only dash when he charges. Blast him with your fully charged shotgun and run when he drops maggots. Don't bother shooting them. Instead, use that time to fully charge your shotgun.

Deer Boss Chase Sequences
They're usually not that bad and you can easily outrun him if you keep melee-charging the mushrooms. In the last one in chapter 8 you have to dash through corruption while red daps attack you. It's easy to get stuck in the plants there and if you dash into one, you bounce back towards the boss. Just don't risk anything. You have a checkpoint at the start of the chase sequence so just pause and reload the checkpoint if he gets too close.

Final Boss (Dark Dap)
If you melee and shoot right after, the Dark Dap will not shoot back and you can safely take it down.

For everything else just always keep your distance and don't hold back with potions. There are plenty of mushrooms and they respawn after a while.

For the maximum achievement you have to collect all 12 health seeds.

Right after you find the first tree there is a spike gate to the right. Go a bit up and destroy the pods. Activate the switch underneath to open the gate.

In a large room with birds and a gate in the top left that you need to go into corruption to open. Open that gate and enter the room with two flowers. Activate the three orbs to open the gate at the top left.
Right after leaving the cocoon where you pick up the big horned guy, go to the next screen and activate the three charge switches to open a gate to the right.

In a big room where you encounter attacking plants for the first time. It's filled with corruption mushrooms and there are lots of ghosts. Follow the bottom wall to the right. It's out in the open.

In the room above the deer after you get the shotgun. Activate the three switches and the spike barrier retracts.

When getting to the door blocked by roots, don't open it, even if you can. Go down and open the door on the left requiring 15 daps.
Eventually you'll come to a big room where you fight numerous ghosts and other enemies. When leaving this room, keep going up through the wall with the red plant.

After visiting the yin yang door, a dark dap opens a spike gate for you. In the next room go up along the left wall until you see red flowers.

After talking to the skull guy for the first time, you enter a big room with a flower. Get the daps and sacrifice them to open the exit door. You'll find a corridor with cells on each side. In the first upper cell behind a spike gate is a seed that you reach through a hidden tunnel in the adjacent cell.

In the big flooded room search the cocoons for daps. Once you got some, go to the right and enter the cocoon with the red plant on its right side. Activate the switch inside and go up.

In the second room after falling down go along the right wall until you see red plants. Take the hidden path until you reach the health seed.

After the room surrounded by waterfalls with the four switches, turn right at the red plant and move along the waterfall. The health seed is in the corner.

Right after going through the yin yang door, go all the way right and activate the switch under the small waterfall. Go to the opposite side on the left and take the path in the left corner.

There are 12 tree seeds in total. Each comes with its own achievement. Collecting all 12 is required for the light ending. The trees are listed in the order you find them.

Chapter 1
A bit after getting the charge attack in a room where you fight red daps, on the right there is a charge attack switch. Activate it and go through the gate it opened. The switch surrounded by pods makes the spikes retract.

At the start of Chapter 2, right after getting the first 3 daps, go down below the flower.
There is a spike gate on the right which is opened by a switch hidden under pods further down.

Chapter 2
In a big room with black spherical switches there is a spike gate at the bottom left. It is opened by a switch at the bottom right hidden under pods. The switch to release the tree in the next room is all the way at the bottom. You will be ambushed by 4 horned gunners. If you move carefully you can trigger them one at a time.

In Chapter 3, shortly after getting the shotgun ability. At the flower, instead of going up to the shotgun charge switch, go below the flower.

In Chapter 3, at the waterfall with 3 deers, step into the small waterfall on the right to open the gate at the bottom.

Chapter 4
In the room right after talking to the skull guy for the first time and after a dark dap closes a gate behind you, go up along the left wall until you reach the flower. Inside the waterfall next to the flower is the switch that opens the spike gate at bottom left. Lure 4 red daps from the corruption into the traps.

Chapter 4
After you had to hack through a lot of huge purple buds to activate a switch that opens a gate behind another whole lot of purple buds, you get to a room with corruption where the exit door is blocked by 3 red dap traps. Stick to the bottom wall and go all the way down. Draw a red dap from the corruption to the door to open it.

Chapter 5
In the large flooded room enter the cocoon with the red plant on its left side. Turn on the orb inside and go up into the next room.

Chapter 6
In a room that you enter through corruption with 2 flowers and a sunken shotgun switch at the top right, go to the bottom and destroy the pods and activate the switch underneath. A gate in the top left corner opens. Gather all the daps in the room (for the ambush in the next part) and go through the corruption. You get attacked by 3-4 red daps. Dash to the end and kill them with your own daps. Activate the orb which activates the switch at the bottom right gate. Once you opened it, you need a red dap for the next gate. Just above the gate you just opened is a corruption patch that you can lure one from. Once in the tree room you need enough daps to shotgun the sunken switch.

Chapter 6
Right after you get the bomb ability bomb through the right barricade. At the two flowers bomb the barricade behind the waterfall and go up. Activate the switch and be prepared for an ambush of ghosts. The switch opens a gate at the bottom right of the flower room.

Chapter 7
Upon reaching the cliffs with the birds the path splits. To the left is a closed spike gate. Go right and stick to the cliffs going all the way around. At the end you find pods hiding a switch for the spike gate. Go back to the bottom left of the room and through the now-opened gate.

Chapter 8
In the room after the long corridor where you talk with deer, activate the light in the center. Then go left through the wall and up and step on the switch. Go back to the big light you activated and straight up into the next room.
