Core Keeper achievements

Requirement

Defeat Glurch. Find the shaking orange-slime clearing; clear ground slime, then dodge jumps. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Glurch. The boss can be summoned again later on its rune with a Giant Slime Summoning Idol, so missing a random item does not end the route.

Requirement

Defeat Ghorm. Find the broad circular slime track, prepare damage for the first pass and finish the charging phase. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Ghorm, take its Horn to the Core statue, and keep Mysterious Idol for the Cloaked Merchant. The guaranteed stomach backpack is an immediate capacity upgrade. Save Larva Chest if it drops for Gossip Group; Arcane Staff and Tome of Breach are optional caster rewards.

Requirement

Defeat Malugaz. Combine three Crystal Skull Shards and summon in the Forgotten Ruins throne room; defeat both phases. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Win both forms. A first-form defeat alone is not completion.

Requirement

Defeat Hive Mother. An optional inner-region boss; prepare acid protection and manage the spawning larvae. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Hive Mother. This is an optional achievement boss; it is not the third key for the current Core statues.

Requirement

Defeat Azeos. Use its scanner and Large Shiny Glimmering Object, then destroy healing crystals during the fight. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Azeos. Its repeat summon is renewable; wait for the arena to become ready rather than trusting the old five-minute cooldown quoted in launch guides.

Requirement

Defeat King Slime. Use Crown Summoning Idol from slime loot on the Glurch rune. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat King Slime. Then equip the crown and sit on a Caveling Toilet for A Throne Fit for a King. Toilets occur in the Forgotten Ruins and Wilderness; bring one home when found so this is a safe collection task.

Requirement

Defeat Ivy. Use the optional slime scanner, prepare poison protection and dodge jumps and poison rain. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Ivy; later attempts use a Giant Slime Summoning Idol on its rune. None of these random equipment drops is a condition for receiving the boss achievement.

Requirement

Defeat Omoroth. Equip Expert Lure and fish its whirlpool; fight from a prepared Speeder. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Omoroth and collect its soul. Keep Phantasmal Echo for the legendary bow vault and any Gilded Hookshot. The latter also satisfies Fortune and Glory with the full Explorer vanity armor.

Requirement

Defeat Ra-Akar. Craft Thumper, find its scanner-marked rune and defeat the sand Titan. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Ra-Akar. You now have the original three Titan souls, but the Core Commander requires the three Hydra souls too. Druidra no longer requires Giant Bug Brain; do not repeat Ra-Akar for that removed prerequisite.

Requirement

Defeat Morpha. Clear slippery ground and control the jump/bubble cycle at the optional sea slime arena. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Morpha. Record the rune and return to the sea-city sweep or the Desert route once the fight is complete.

Requirement

Defeat Druidra. Use Wind Organ of Wilderness near its tracked route; break the protective armor and damage the head. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Druidra and collect the soul. Use its Verdant Echo for additional exploration, then bring a Pink Hydra Eye to the altar for the next organ.

Requirement

Defeat Igneous. Repair the quarry floor, protect against burning and stop the healing projectiles. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Igneous. Further attempts use Giant Slime Summoning Idol on its rune, so the parchment and armor can be pursued later.

Requirement

Defeat Crydra. Use the Ice organ made with a Pink Hydra Eye; fight the real head and clear ice turrets. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Crydra. Reserve at least one White Hydra Eye for Pyrdra, then return to the altar before crossing the Desert.

Requirement

Defeat Pyrdra. Use the Fire organ made with a White Hydra Eye; survive the two invulnerable phantom heads. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Pyrdra. With all six souls collected, speak to the Core for the story finale. The optional legendary weapons can be completed now or later.

Requirement

Defeat Core Commander. Collect all six Titan souls, break the Crystal Meteor and defeat both health bars. Exploration continues afterward. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Core Commander. The end credits do not complete the full current-content route: Passage, Nimruza, Breaker's Reach and the Riders legendary collection remain below.

Requirement

Defeat Atlantean Worm. Buy Bait Pillar from the Brave Merchant, lure the sea worm and defeat every split section. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Atlantean Worm. Keep and consume Atlantean Worm Heart for permanent health; its random equipment is optional. This fight is not one of the six story souls.

Requirement

Defeat Urschleim. Track it in the Passage, destroy three bulbs and damage the exposed head while staying ahead. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Urschleim. A dropped Squishy Egg produces Snugglygrade; hatch it at home and compare its support with your established pet instead of replacing a fully trained companion without checking talents.

Requirement

Defeat Nimruza. Craft Corrupted Sap at the Passage shrine and use it on the Oasis rune. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Nimruza. Veil Echo reveals the Riders legendary chamber, so the next stop returns to the scepters saved throughout this walkthrough.

Requirement

Defeat S.A.H.A.B.A.R.. Use Profane Override, disable all four legs together and complete the second phase. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat S.A.H.A.B.A.R. Keep Herald Void Neuron and Void Idol, plus Mortar Housing if it drops. The housing is random and may need a rematch; Void Idol supplies the merchant for the next crafting stage.

Requirement

Defeat Oblidra. Combine ten Oblivion Fragments into Wind Organ of Void, track the boss and defeat its repeated armor cycles. Normal survival is sufficient; the encounter can be repeated, so no alternate story run is needed.

How to work on it

• Defeat Oblidra and keep Oblidra's Heart and the Shadow armor drops. All released boss achievements are now addressed; finish the collections and skill counters below without starting an unnecessary new campaign.

Requirement

Obtain Rune Song. Combine Broken Handle, Chipped Blade, Clear Gemstone, 50 Iron Bars and 10 Ancient Gemstones using Rune Parchment. Available during continued exploration; possessing only the components does not finish it.

How to work on it

• Obtain the completed weapon. You can return here later; this side objective does not block the Titan route.

Requirement

Obtain Phantom Spark. Collect the three metropolis parts and documents, make Admin Key, obtain Glyph Parchment from the marked vault and assemble the bow. Available during continued exploration; possessing only the components does not finish it.

How to work on it

• Obtain the finished bow and store the depleted quest materials safely before moving on.

Requirement

Obtain Soul Seeker. Take Ancient Pickaxe, Cipher Parchment and its current listed resources to Ancient Forge. Riders reduced costs; use the actual parchment quantities. Available during continued exploration; possessing only the components does not finish it.

How to work on it

• Obtain the completed legendary pickaxe. You can finish this after the main story; do not delay a ready Hydra attempt solely to farm a random parchment.

Requirement

Obtain Stormbringer. At Rift Statue combine Obliteration Ray, 100 Pandorium Bars, 100 Solarite Bars and 50 Cytoplasm. Available during continued exploration; possessing only the components does not finish it.

How to work on it

• Obtain Stormbringer. Test its reach against ordinary enemies, then use your mining-conversion talents and equipment only if their survivability is adequate for the next boss.

Requirement

Obtain Titan Breath. Combine Coiled Branch from Druidra, Frozen Orb from Crydra and Magma Rod from Pyrdra. Repeat the missing drop source if needed. Available during continued exploration; possessing only the components does not finish it.

How to work on it

• Obtain the completed weapon. It has no durability but cannot be reinforced like an ordinary weapon. This collection is available without paid gameplay DLC.

Requirement

Obtain Credence of Ruin. Combine S.A.H.A.B.A.R.'s Mortar Housing, Void-Forged Barrel and Sanctified Firing Core using the merchant's Schematic Parchment. Available during continued exploration; possessing only the components does not finish it.

How to work on it

• Obtain the legendary explosive weapon. Its attacks train Explosions; do not treat its ranged category label as a promise that it advances Ranged Combat instead. It is a practical late-game tool for the explosive skill finish.

Requirement

Obtain Veil Crux. Use Veil Echo, insert the five required scepters in the chamber, disable Ward Coil and take the legendary scepter. Available during continued exploration; possessing only the components does not finish it.

How to work on it

• Obtain the legendary scepter. On a pre-1.3.0.5 installation, update before investigating a chamber with missing pedestals; the current PC hotfix addresses overlapping-room placement.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Gardening. Manually harvest and replant crops; use the farm for cooking supplies. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

How to work on it

• Reach Gardening 100, Cooking 100 and 100 recorded recipes respectively. Farmer Midas is a separate golden harvest, so check that it registered even if the kitchen is already finished.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Fishing. Catch fish and non-fish loot with a suitable rod; combine the grind with needed ingredients and rare catches. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

How to work on it

• Reach Fishing 100. Power of Omega-3! is a useful late talent for fish-fed boss attempts; Well-trained Aim is a possible ranged supplement. You can reset the tree afterward without losing its skill level.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Running. Travel on foot; boat, minecart and conveyor movement are not the foot-travel route. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Range combat. Hit enemies with bows, crossbows or an appropriate physical ranged weapon; use a mortar for Explosions separately. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

How to work on it

• Reach 100 in the corresponding discipline. No separate Hard or Hardcore completion is needed.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Crafting. Craft needed objects from renewable supplies; output stack size alone does not multiply the operation count. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Melee combat. Use a melee-class weapon against real enemies; repeat safe encounters rather than an invulnerable target. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

How to work on it

• Reach 100 in the corresponding discipline. No separate Hard or Hardcore completion is needed.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Cooking. Cook surplus crops and personally collect the dishes. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

How to work on it

• Reach Gardening 100, Cooking 100 and 100 recorded recipes respectively. Farmer Midas is a separate golden harvest, so check that it registered even if the kitchen is already finished.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Vitality. Defeat enemies while following the boss, exploration and combat-skill routes. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

How to work on it

• Reach 100 in the corresponding discipline. No separate Hard or Hardcore completion is needed.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Mining. Personally mine walls the tool can damage; an impossible wall is not a useful training target. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Magic. Damage enemies with magic weapons; keep enough mana to sustain practical combat. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

How to work on it

• Reach 100 in the corresponding discipline. No separate Hard or Hardcore completion is needed.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Summoning. Let your summoned minions land enemy hits; the current squad persists without timed recasts. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

How to work on it

• Reach 100 in the corresponding discipline. No separate Hard or Hardcore completion is needed.

Requirement

Reach skill level 100 in Explosions. Damage enemies with explosives or a verified mortar such as Stone Mortar/Shellzooka/Credence of Ruin. Empty-terrain blasts are insufficient. This is the skill level, not 100 spendable talent points; continue on the same character and check its skill screen.

How to work on it

• Reach 100 in the corresponding discipline. No separate Hard or Hardcore completion is needed.

Requirement

Incubate an egg with power, take the cracked egg and open it to hatch a pet. No special species or difficulty is required.

How to work on it

• Hatching gives the first achievement; keeping one companion through the campaign builds naturally toward level 10. Save additional colors of a single non-slime species in one chest for I want ’em all!. A stack of duplicate colors does not meet that collection condition.

Requirement

Reach pet level 10 and equip that pet. Keep a companion active for combat and use appropriate pet treats; hatch color is unrelated to its level.

How to work on it

• Hatching gives the first achievement; keeping one companion through the campaign builds naturally toward level 10. Save additional colors of a single non-slime species in one chest for I want ’em all!. A stack of duplicate colors does not meet that collection condition.
• Complete the color chest and equip a level-ten pet. The extra colors introduced for newer pets do not force you to collect every species; one complete eligible species is enough.

Requirement

Equip Ring of Rock and Ring of Stone together in the two ring slots. Find them through the early chest, stone-mining and Caveling Brute routes; two copies of one ring do not qualify.

Requirement

Activate and use a waypoint to teleport. Learn the destination menu after the first accessible waypoint; it is not a story-ending action.

Requirement

Feed a cattle animal its correct food. Plants feed Moolin/Bambuck; critters feed Strolly Poly and Orex. Complete it safely in a pen before any combat expedition.

Requirement

Manually harvest a golden crop. Plant and harvest ordinary seeds repeatedly; Expert Gardener helps, but golden crops no longer require unlocking that talent first.

How to work on it

• Golden crops have a base planting chance now; manually harvest the first one you grow. The late Expert Gardener talent improves the chance, but is no longer a prerequisite.
• Reach Gardening 100, Cooking 100 and 100 recorded recipes respectively. Farmer Midas is a separate golden harvest, so check that it registered even if the kitchen is already finished.

Requirement

Catch Starlight Nautilus in lava with sufficient fishing power. It is rare and can be pursued alongside quarry gear; defeating Igneous alone does not count.

How to work on it

• Catch Starlight Nautilus from lava. This is a rare fishing result, not boss loot. Consume one raw or cooked for its one-time permanent health increase; keep fishing if you want a display specimen.

Requirement

Discover 100 distinct recorded cooking recipes. Use ordinary ingredients, personally collect each result and check the cookbook. Reversing a pair does not create a new recipe; rare outputs may fail to record it.

How to work on it

• Reach Gardening 100, Cooking 100 and 100 recorded recipes respectively. Farmer Midas is a separate golden harvest, so check that it registered even if the kitchen is already finished.

Requirement

Exceed 200% movement speed on the character. Stack the listed speed gear and food with active running/mining effects, then check the stat while moving. Vehicle speed is not the condition.

How to work on it

• Exceed 200% movement speed. This is a temporary stat threshold, not a distance traveled or go-kart speedometer target. Restore combat armor afterward; the collection loadout may have poor defenses.

Requirement

Place every color of one eligible pet species together in one chest and open it. The route uses eight Owlux colors from Lively Eggs; include the equipped pet if it completes the set.

How to work on it

• Hatching gives the first achievement; keeping one companion through the campaign builds naturally toward level 10. Save additional colors of a single non-slime species in one chest for I want ’em all!. A stack of duplicate colors does not meet that collection condition.
• Complete the color chest and equip a level-ten pet. The extra colors introduced for newer pets do not force you to collect every species; one complete eligible species is enough.

Requirement

Gather all nine named Oracle Cards and combine them with Thread of Fate into Oracle Deck. Fateful Echo locates the hidden digging spot for the thread; Wisdom comes from the Ancient Chest in the City Sewers scene. The route lists the other eight card sources.

How to work on it

• Obtain Oracle Deck. Its off-hand regeneration supports a recovery loadout, but choosing it replaces a shield, dash or hookshot. Keep your familiar mobility option for bosses that demand it. Nothing in the main ending permanently closes this collection.

Requirement

Equip King Slime Crown, then sit on a Caveling Toilet. Obtain the crown from King Slime and bring a found toilet to a safe base if convenient.

How to work on it

• Defeat King Slime. Then equip the crown and sit on a Caveling Toilet for A Throne Fit for a King. Toilets occur in the Forgotten Ruins and Wilderness; bring one home when found so this is a safe collection task.

Requirement

Have eight minions active simultaneously. Equip full Grim, two Puppet Rings and Earie, check reservation, and summon all eight; capacity alone does not count.

How to work on it

• Have eight summoned minions active simultaneously. This collection loadout is not compulsory for every boss: a hybrid with fewer minions, more barrier and a reliable escape tool may be safer.

Requirement

Play Tune of Tempest on an instrument. The default PC sequence is X V W X V W; use equivalent notes if keys were rebound.

How to work on it

• Play Tune of Tempest. With default PC note keys, use X V W, then X V W again. If controls were rebound, use the equivalent notes rather than those literal keys. This can be done safely at home.

Requirement

Equip Larva Helm and Larva Chest, then interact with a Big Larva. Dismiss pets/minions that might attack it first; the torso piece comes from Ghorm and the helm from Hive Mother loot.

How to work on it

• Defeat Ghorm, take its Horn to the Core statue, and keep Mysterious Idol for the Cloaked Merchant. The guaranteed stomach backpack is an immediate capacity upgrade. Save Larva Chest if it drops for Gossip Group; Arcane Staff and Tome of Breach are optional caster rewards.
• Complete the conversation with a Big Larva wearing both required pieces. You can do this later if either drop is missing; the route does not require keeping a unique named larva alive.

Requirement

Place ten Cherry Trees. Enable the built-in Cherry Blossom season override, gather blossoms and combine ten matching blossoms per tree. No calendar wait or paid DLC is required.

How to work on it

• Plant ten Cherry Trees. Ordinary wood roots do not count. The seasonal setting does not require a paid content pack.

Requirement

Use character creation or Magic Mirror to match a character from the official illustration. The route provides one documented bald, tan-skinned, brown-eyed, dark-green-shirt/dark-purple-trouser combination; compare swatches if an adjacent color fails.

How to work on it

• Match a character from the official illustration. Palette swatches have no reliable text labels, so compare the linked reference if an adjacent shade fails. Appearance can be changed again; the chosen background and name do not create a different story ending.

Requirement

Craft a Saddle after reaching iron, apply it to adult cattle and mount the saddled animal. Feeding alone is the separate A Good Life achievement.

How to work on it

• Own the three different go-karts together in one chest. A racing saddle or three copies of one kart does not satisfy the requirement. Giddy Up remains the separate saddled-cattle interaction at your animal pen.

Requirement

Put Primitive Go-Kart, Renegade Go-Kart and Speeder Go-Kart together in one chest. Three identical karts or the Speeder boat do not replace the three required vehicle types.

How to work on it

• Own the three different go-karts together in one chest. A racing saddle or three copies of one kart does not satisfy the requirement. Giddy Up remains the separate saddled-cattle interaction at your animal pen.

Requirement

Equip Hookshot or Gilded Hookshot and all three Explorer's outfit pieces in actual equipment slots. Craft the outfit at Loom using wool; a cosmetic dresser display alone is insufficient.

How to work on it

• Defeat Omoroth and collect its soul. Keep Phantasmal Echo for the legendary bow vault and any Gilded Hookshot. The latter also satisfies Fortune and Glory with the full Explorer vanity armor.
