Introduction
Welcome to this incomplete and unfinished guide.

Many of the achievements are missable, as you can't go back to earlier parts of the game. I wrote down the info for all the ones I collected myself. However, I got stuck in a part of the game where you have to do some challenging moves within a time limit and kept failing at that part, so that is where I stopped playing.

This guide is very incomplete and as far as I can tell atm will stay incomplete, but maybe it will help you figure out the achievements you're missing?
* Amethyst related achievements
You have to collect more amethysts than this section tells you, but there are so many more in the game, just collect as many as you can along the way.

Finders Keepers
You collected 50 Amethysts.
Collect all the purple thingies.

Look at all that shiny purple
You collected 250 Amethysts.
Collecting, collecting, collecting!

Amethyst Hoarder
You collected 500 Amethysts.
More, more more!

Who is she? Violeta, and she leaves without a goodbye
You collected 1000 Amethysts.
Keep collecting them as 1000 isn't enough to buy all the items in the shop.



Not related to amethysts but another general achievement:

All day, every day
You recovered 1000 health points by drinking Mate.
Keep healing yourself when you get damage, the enemies drop energy to refill your drinking mate. The tracker for this achievement is bugged but the achievement itself isn't. I collected this around the are with Rocky.
* Merchant
You'll meet the merchant very early in the game, and he sells artifacts. Keep collecting amethysts, and at different times, you meet the merchant and can buy the artifacts he has with him.

Delicious and crispy sword.
This can be bought with Amethysts in the merchant shop.

What would a video game be without the ability to hit things?
Very soon after starting the game, you'll unlock this slingshot kinda weapon to attack things (mostly monsters :P)

99999 Games Cartridge
They all seem to be the same game with barely different colors.
When you get outside after getting your weapon, you will see a river running back toward the area you came from. Jump in the water and toward the area you came from to find this sneaky hidden item.

Stonake
What kind of snake is this?
The first enemy you'll encounter at the beginning of the game.

The first of the day but not the last
You drank Mate for the first time.
You can heal yourself by doing this. The button to do this on an Xbox gamepad is Left Trigger.

Who's a good buddy?
Of course you can pet the capybara.
You find the first capybara at the ruins. Petting them saves your game. <3
Outer Chaikuru Ruins
Angry Stonake
It sparks when it rolls.
In the ruins there is this small pit area full of snakes. Here, you'll encounter the angry snake for the first time.

You have to find 3 cards for this guy at the camp, 2 of them are to the left of him and one is on the right side passed the middle path.

Open the gates!
You opened the gates to the Chaikurú Ruins.
You might need to first unlock the forest seed to be able to open the fates in the ruins?

You must defeat 3 of them to get further into the temple.

Condor Seal

Found in the first temple you enter.

Saint Wich Flying Mila
A coatí and a magpie fought over my delicious taste.
After you get the Condor Seal, you can go to the right and to the back of the temple to find some spots that blow air to fly higher and higher to fly to the sandwich. The first airflow is behind the capybara.

The floor is lava
You stayed in the air for over 20 seconds.
Use an airflow after you have collected the Condor Seal to stay in the air for 20 seconds. Listing it here as this is the first spot you can do it, but know you can do it above any airflow.

It's so fluffy I wanna die.
In the area with the airflow and the switches to change the direction of the airflow, it is at the top on the right side.

Traditions of a lost civilization
You discovered the Mountain Temple Mural.
After you've done the area with the switches and the airflow, you'll get to an area where you see this huge mural on the wall in the back. Check it out to unlock this achievement.

The rest of the achievements from the last section that I didn't comment on and indeed further in the game and most are story related. There's one involving a bad ending and another one self explanatory. I hope any of these comments I've been sending while going through the game can be of any helpo to complete the guide which actually helped me with one of the ones I was missing.

Lastly, Untouchable is the only achievement I'm currently missing and involves beating the Challenge of the Yaguareté from the Chaikurú Survivors achievement but without getting hit. There's probably a feasible strategy to do it but at the very least you can practice it with a checkpoint very near it, figuring out what to take out first.
rasterman7 18 Aug @ 7:04pm 
Tribute to the Gods is kind of annoying. You have to get one of the barrels from the camp where you start the game to the abyss from the first temple. You'll have to maneuver rolling it uphill through 3 stairs and rotate it accordingly. Using your weapon is tricky due to the hitboxes.
rasterman7 18 Aug @ 7:02pm 
The Stand is a funny achievement. Just hit Capy hard or too many times and see what happens.
rasterman7 18 Aug @ 6:35pm 
Kapyroto Figure sucks. After the Simon Says minigame you'll get to a checkpoint and a few meters from it you'll find in a wall a slope that leads to it. How do you get up there? Honestly what I did was spam floating near an inclined column, flew near the borders and the got to a position from the other side that would lead me to it. There's probably a better and intended way to get up there but I couldn't find it.
rasterman7 18 Aug @ 5:01pm 
Mythical Delivery Man is behind the first waterfall you encounter in the Forest challenge
rasterman7 18 Aug @ 4:53pm 
Cherry Blossom Bonsai is at the beginning of the Wind Challenge behind some rocks and near a Monkey face statue. Probably easily to miss since the red light is not that visible.
rasterman7 18 Aug @ 4:25pm 
Mom, you cut off all the power can be obtained by getting through the mushroom cave only after lighting the very first mushroom. That's the exception since the camera won't budge otherwise. I suggest for this using the amethysts as a reference for where the paltforms are in the dark even though you'll have a tiny glow coming from Runa. Upon getting to the Unstable Cavern it pops up.
rasterman7 18 Aug @ 4:22pm 
Ronroco Instrument is on a platform from a broken bridge that you can access in the Road to the Summit after firing the cannon the second time. It's near the camera so in case you didn't see it I suggest getting uphill and floating in the air looking for it. It should be more visible that way.
rasterman7 18 Aug @ 4:20pm 
Santereré Grail is very near the place where you complete the Challenge of the Yaguareté. Basically once you get over some rocks on the edge of the river after rolling the last ball you'll see upstream a bank behind a rock. That's where it is. Btw, don't worry if you missed it the first time as you'll come back to this place soon after the power up to take down some big trunks.
