This guide will cover all achievements in Aether except for The End?.

Most of the achievements are awarded for finding the various secret entities hidden throughout the galaxy. Finding them all also unlocks the Galaxy Map from the extras menu.



The Galaxy Map comes in handy for finding the zodiacs but they can still be hard to find even with it.

Further into the guide there will be screenshots of each zodiac showing their exact locations. Using the planet arrows it should be much easier to make out where they are.

Before starting, I recommend having finished the game and starting fresh. You'll need the planet arrows to locate the entities.
Moons
Each planet has one moon in orbit that awards an achievement. They aren't nearly as hard to locate as the zodiacs but due to gravity they can still be annoying to look for.

Earth's Moon
Discover the Moon of Earth
You won't need to look far.


Malaisus's Moon
Discover the Moon of Malaisus
The easiest moon to find. It's connected to the planet.


Bibulon's Moon
Discover the Moon's of Bibulon
Bibulon has a number of moons in orbit but this is the one you should look for. It's the furthest away from the planet.


Debasa's Moon
Discover the Moon of Debasa
Debasa has other smaller moons but this is the one you need.


Gravida's Moon
Discover the Moon of Gravida
The moon that many seem to have trouble locating.
Zodiacs
Various characters from Edmund McMillen's games can be found as cameos in the galaxy. Trying to look for all of them without any sort of clues is extremely difficult.

You can use the Galaxy Map as a reference while looking for these and then fine-tune your position by comparing the arrows in your game to the ones in the screenshots.

The Spaceman
Find the lost spaceman
Between Earth and Gravida.


The Glutton
Find the Glutton
Spewer is not far from the Spaceman.


The Runaway
Find the runaway
The closest one to Earth. Note that the lightblue and green arrows are overlapping.


The Crybaby
Find the Crybaby
Isaac is near Malaisus.


The Skinless Boy
Find the Skinless Boy
Super Meat Boy!


The Demon
Find the Demon
This is the toughest one to find and also the furthest from Earth.


The Lost Bird
Find the Lost Bird
This one is tiny, so keep your eyes peeled.


The Paradox
Find the Paradox
The galaxy seems to revolve around Steven as upwards always points towards him/them. Make sure to take this into account when viewing the screenshot.
Lost in Space
If you've found all the other secrets then this is the last achievement.

All you need to do is getting as far away from the planets as you can. It can take a while however, as space is a pretty big place.

Lost in Space
???
Maybe put something heavy on the W key then go prepare dinner and it might be there by the time you're done eating.
Closing
Thanks for reading and I hope it helped if you were stuck. If not, leave a comment or reach out to me through the 100% Achievement Group chatroom.

If you're struggling with the bird, it was really close to earth for me, all I did was go straight up and move a little

I found the little bird and got the runaway achievement. Should I be concerned?
