Gettin’ Jiggy wit Dem Ores
Collect all Giant Ores.
Not all the ores are needed for this achievement.

Only giant versions of Gold, Amber, Amethyst, Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond, Uranium, Adamantite and Orichalcum are needed.
I generally found that the giant versions of the ore were more common at the depth the next ore was unlocked. For instance, I found more giant Sapphire where Uranium was unlocked.

Store Related Achievements

Obtain a Golden Pickaxe for the first time.
This can be obtained in the store as the 10th upgrade.

The Pickmaster
Max out the pickaxe level.

Achievement seems to only pop for the host in multiplayer.

Random Tips
  • You can use the manhole to teleport around the mines, reducing the need for warp totems. There are manholes at 50m, 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 500m, 600m, 700m, 800m, 900m and 1,000m.
  • Remember to collect warp totems and batteries. The batteries reduce the number of times you have to go back up to the surface, and the totems make the process easier.
  • The sonar can be found in a chest in the mine at depth 50m, and helps you find more ores, chests, totems, batteries.
  • Prioritise backpack upgrades as this reduces the amount of times you have to go back up to sell your stuff.
  • The wire rope can be useful at the start but personally, I upgraded this last.
  • I personally did not end up using dynamite as I found that it blew up the ores. It can be useful though if you're trying to get as deep as possible fast. It also does damage to players, so beware of using it around teammates.
  • Beating the game multiple times unlocks more wearable cosmetics (Clown and Spray Guy)

Stoic_685 13 Sep @ 1:04pm 
Good guide I was just missing the huge gold ore and didn't even know it existed. Do you know how one would be able to get the clown or hoodie outfits? They're the only outfits I can't figure out how to unlock
