Introduction
This guide offers hints for unlocking all achievements.
Solving puzzles, mysteries, and challenges on your own is a core part of the game's experience, so I won’t provide step-by-step walkthroughs or direct solutions for each achievement.
Most hints are hidden behind [spoiler] tags. If there are multiple hints for a single achievement, the later hints provide more direct guidance.
Story-related achievements
The following achievements can be unlocked through normal progression in the game.

A town? (Reach Port Naga)
Delivered! (Reach Heaven and DUNK!!!)
Fellow Climber (Get a friend to the top)
  • You can unlock this by talking to Butter each time they appear in various areas along the way.
  • Butter appears in the following areas: Belwheat Valley / Entrance Ruins / Forest Cavern / Port Naga / Basin 21 / Pastel Strata / Terminus
Completion-related achievements
The following achievements can be unlocked by maximizing completion percentage.

Swings of Persistence (Total 10000 swings)
Transit (Ride the train)
Transit II (Figure out... another way to get around??)
  • You can find hints for unlocking this achievement in two places.
  • One is Pastel Strata, where three "tech" notes offer obfuscated clues about how to perform the "tech".
    • Hint: the notes do not mention all the requirements to perform the "tech".
    • Another hint: the "↑ + ↓" in the first note does not refer to bat swing directions.
  • The other is Trial Terminal, located just after Precipice Bridge, which provides a clear explanation of how to perform the "tech".
Zazoom (Reach 500 max speed)
'Phant. (obtain a 'phant)
Another (Find another bat)
Play Ball (Get 50 hits in a row!)
Theres an Inventory? (Get all collectables)
  • This "collectables" refers to the Train Ticket, Master Key, and Rollerblade.
Cave Crew (Find Creacher Cave)
End of the World (End the Power Source)
Light the way! (Get all Lanterns)
The Barker (Barker... Blast?)
  • This can be unlocked in False Field.
  • You need to be launched by the dog in False Field.
Terminal Speed (Clear the Terminal in less than 1 minute)
Break the curse (The cause of everything.)
Parlor Master (Get all Fizzies)
Log Out (Complete the Log)
  • Note that this cannot be unlocked by simply collecting all the required collectibles.
  • After collecting them, you'll need to select the stamp option during a conversation with the receptionist at Heaven's Channel.
  • You need one more item in addition to all the completed postcards.
  • Specifically, it’s Butter's contact card.
World Traveller (Reach all named places)
Tier 4 (Get the final completion badge)
  • This can be unlocked at the Final Stats screen with 108% completion.

Easy achievements
The Uppie Strike (Creach Blast)
  • This achievement can be easily unlocked by speaking to creacher that appears in Belwheat Valley. You need to be launched by creacher.
  • There's another way to unlock this achievement by speaking to an NPC in Port Naga. You can find them in the post office.
I'm a Chuckster! (Get thrown by a npc)
  • This can be unlocked when thrown by an NPC other than creacher.
  • Master throws you after a certain condition is met (specifically, collecting the fizzy on the small island to the left of Master).
  • An NPC in Port Naga can also throws you, but this will not unlock the achievement.
The Bonker (Slam against surfaces in every way possible)
  • I'm not sure what counts as a "slam," but at the very least, you need to slam against walls and floors with a certain speed, causing the character sprite to become paper-thin after slamming.
  • Note that you also need to slam against ceilings to unlock this achievement.
Moderate achievements
Don't need it... (Clear Area 1 without hitting a yellow fence)
  • Area 1 is Belwheat Valley.
  • If you try unlocking this achievement fairly, you'll need to use up-swings to slightly gain height while jumping.
Brain Freeze (Get a FIC in the first minute)
  • FIC means Fizzy Ice Cream.
  • It's possible to get the Fizzy in Belwheat Valley in under 1 minute with some practice.
  • This achievement can also be unlocked by getting any Fizzy outside of Belwheat Valley.
  • By the way, the respawn option on the pause screen is disabled right after starting a new game. What would happen if you trigger a respawn in this state…?
Challenging achievements
Transit III (What is this?)
  • There are hints in the game for this achievement, and the conditions can be easily inferred from them.
  • One of the hints can be found in a note at Terminal Station.
  • The other hint can be found in the note at the "???" warp zone.
  • The "Delta" mentioned in a note refers to the speed baseline.
  • One of the requirements to perform ILDM is a speed of 50 or greater. What would happen if it's performed with a speed of "Delta" or greater...?
  • Reaching a speed of "Delta" is challenging but achievable. A good start point is the left edge of Precipice Bridge.
  • I’m not sure if it will be helpful, but here’s the video of when I unlocked this achievement: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3406031812
Full Power (Apply all special effects at the same time)
  • The "special effects" required for this achievement are Charge, Vector, and Float.
  • There are few places to apply all special effects at the same time. This achievement's fun comes from finding them.
  • Since Float is required, this achievement can clearly be unlocked in Villith’s Drain.
  • It’s technically possible to meet the condition in just one puzzle room, but it’s quite challenging.
  • But there is an easier way to meet the condition:
    • The Charge state can easily be maintained and carried over to another puzzle room.
    • There is a puzzle room in Villith’s Drain that contains both Vector blocks and Float blocks.
    • Conveniently, that room is near another puzzle room that contains Charge blocks.
    • After a certain setup, you can start applying all special effects in the second puzzle room from checkpoint 9.
    • In some cases, you need to go through the intended route in reverse.
    • To accomplish this, avoid warping to checkpoint 9 before starting to apply all special effects.
Cereal (Reach master in less than 5 mins)
  • It might seem impossible at first, but with enough practice, it’s absolutely achievable. Good luck!
  • You can completely skip GC Warehouse.
  • From Goldcherry Factory onward, there are no significant shortcuts, so you’ll need to progress fairly.
Pinnacle (Complete the game with at least an S rank)
  • This is a much harder version of Cereal, but once you've achieved Cereal, this is within reach with additional practice and route planning. Best of luck!
  • The baseline is finishing the game in 1 hour or less with 100 or fewer deaths.
  • You can skip Forest Cavern and Eroded Beach entirely by using the train.
  • You can also skip more sections/areas. For example, Basin 21 checkpoint 7 serves as a great starting point.
  • Actually, you don’t need extreme precision or special tricks to unlock this achievement. If you can calmly execute what you learned during a normal playthrough, it’s well within reach. For reference, here’s the video of when I unlocked this achievement:

Oh, really? That's interesting. Anyway, congrats on unlocking the achievement! I hope you’ll complete the rest of the achievements soon. :tyatay:

I appreciate the hint but i pulled it off starting from the checkpoint 9 but it required a ton of precision

@Daromiro
Explaining the setup would be the same as revealing the achievement's answer outright, which might take away the enjoyment of solving it. So, I'd prefer not to provide a direct explanation.

If I were to offer a hint, I'd say that sometimes you need to go through the intended route in reverse . To do so, you must avoid warping to checkpoint 9 .

What's the setup to full power achievement?
