ABOUT GUIDE:
This guide aims to help you complete all of the achievements in the game. Though there are some missable achievements. You can go back and get ones you missed at the start of the game. There is no “point of no return”, as you can go back after completing the game to the other zones. The game is easy and entertaining, with only a few parts that you might find frustrating (mostly a mini-game with poor controls).
Update: The glitched achievements have been patched. You can earn them normally. If you had been obtained everything and had glitched achievements, log into the game and Treasure Seeker will unlock. Quit out and log back in to unlock Owl Master.
Hot Spring Master 20G

Played Otus’s song on Bomboman’s drums
Shortly after the game starts, you will exit your house. Fly up and you’ll come to a few more buildings. On the left you will see a man playing some drums.

Throw Geddy into the clouds! How rude!

Good Boy 20G
Try to report to Asio at the first sign of trouble
There will be an event that takes place where trouble happens with another character in town. You can go to the cave where he ran to track down the culprit, but first, try to report it to the scientist. Make sure before going to the cave you go to the right, above where the hot springs guy is. Go inside the lab and though nobody will be there, you did your duty of attempting to alert someone! This achievement will be missed if you head into the cave first.
Oops… 20G
Beat Geddy 1000 times
As if throwing Geddy off of a cliff isn’t enough, the game will task you with spin attacking him 1000 times. Hitting him sometimes happens naturally as you play, but not enough for the achievement. Find a spot in the game where there is a wall. Drop him next to it, and continue to hit him with your spin attack until the achievement unlocks.

Trinket Master 95G
Master trinket collection at Buccanary’s!
Collect a total of 2000 coins and buy the last item that you can purchase. The item on the very right is a hidden item related to a different achievement later (for collecting all coins). Even though this is a shop, you aren’t spending coins, just having collected them unlocks the different items.

With all of them being there, they will run off after saying thanks. They head to the right where there is a cannon and a mini-game. The sign reads “happy place”. Talk to the brothers, and get inside the cannon. Once the mini-game starts, you’ll unlock the achievement.

Flight of the Boguin 70G
Clear the Boguin’s Cannon Challenge
This is a cannon mini-game and it’s quite difficult. The controls are very tough to get used to. You will have to try this several times. Focus on collecting all of the rings first (doesn’t have to be in one run). Then, once you shoot the cannon you can ignore the first right section and just go straight down. See the below video to see the path you should take.
Reminiscing 20G
Listen to the shell near the old ruins
After you have saved the Boguin brothers and found the cannon, you can leave the area. But before you do, a Boguin will give you a shell for your troubles. Take this left to the mound of random dirt and a scene will play out with Geddy. Afterward, the achievement will be yours.
Ancient Memories 70G
Collect the Golden disks
There are 3 golden disks to collect in the game. Though not entirely difficult to find, they can be overlooked. What do they unlock? A secret area that has some backstory. Not really too interesting, but if you enjoy the story you can check it out. If you place the disks you find into the statues that are around, you do not have to worry about it glitching your achievement. You can feel free to keep the disks or place them, in no particular order.
- Owl Temple: There will be an area with a purple vine in the bottom right corner. This is a secret area you can walk through. Continue through for your first disk.
- Tropos/Strato: As you head up, you will be using your shotgun from the pirate to clear out vines with thorns. You will come to one section which divides into different areas (where there are rotating spike enemies). You’ll find this to the left!
- End area of game: Don’t worry, there really is no “point of no return” in this game. You will be able to go back to this area if you missed it. While jumping on floating rocks and platforms that are like screws, you will go up to an area where to the right is a lone rock. Head in that direction for the final disk.
