[ENG] Achievements, quests, tips & more

This guide is designed to help you if you struggle with the overall progression.
Don't look at this if you don't want to be spoiled!

Introduction

This guide has been designed to help you if you struggle with general progression or if you need help with some achievements requirements.

As the game only features English for now, I wanted to make this an English guide, but since this language isn't my mother tongue, please feel free to suggest any improvement or constructive modification.

General tips

In order to avoid skipping anything, you may want to talk several times to each animal you will meet. Many of them have quests for you, and their rewards are sometimes required to help you progressing through the mountain, but they are also necessary if you want to unlock all the achievements.

Moreover, as soon as you discover a new water source, be sure to fish for a minute or two. A couple of tries should be enough to allow you to get a new entry in your journal.

Eventually, do not hesitate to explore the mountain away from the main trail, because many chests and resources are hidden around the mountain.

1. Story-related achievements

Hawk Peak

Reach the Peak of the mountain. In order to do so, the game recommends you have at least 7 Golden Feathers before trying to reach the top. Each one of them will increase your stamina.

The End

Once you've reached Hawk Peak, go back to the Rangers Cabin and interact with it. Claire will be given the possibility to take a nap. By accepting, you will trigger the end of the game and unlock this achievement. You will be able to keep on playing after the end credits.

2. Collection-related achievements

Feathers Finder

Find 10 Golden Feathers.

Feathers Forever

Get all the Feathers of the game: 20 Golden Feathers and 2 Silver Feathers.
In order to help you locate them all, I suggest you to consult this guide:

The Fish Are Biting Today

Fish and trade the 22 species listed in the Fish Journal.
The fisherman can be found in his boat, below the electric pylons. He will buy every new species of fish you bring him, or he will trade them for bait if you have already sold him the said fish. If you bring him 3 different species, he will give you his Fish Journal to keep track of your progression. To help you find them, the journal features a note for each fish that hasn't been caught yet. Feel free to fish 2 or 3 times at each location to maximize your chances of catching a species that you wouldn't already have. Finally, please note that using bait gets faster results than fishing without.

You will meet Avery near the Visitor Center: she will challenge you to race against her.
You will be able to fly during those races, but for each one of them you will only be able to use a certain number of Feathers. Avery must be beaten twice on each circuit before giving you access to the next course. Be warned: if you win, she will remember the way you raced and will be more efficient during your next race.

Crispy

Try the famous local specialty, "Strawberries and Toast".
In the Visitor Center, a sign indicates that it is possible to taste this specialty by coming to this place at 5PM. Be sure to read that sign.

You must then either wait for 5PM or adjust your system clock accordingly, then talk to the goat that sells Golden Feathers and the Provincial Park Hat. Ask him if you can taste this specialty, but he will be out of strawberries. Insist and take the toast anyway. Select it in your inventory: Claire will eat it and you will unlock the achievement.

[General Red]

Hi! Just wondering if you had the time to add the new treasure map location? I can provide a screenshot of the area if you'd like.

[Enata]

I'll have to update the guide then! Unfortunately, I didn't take time to have a proper complete walkthrough since the said update, so that's good to know, thank you!

[L.Griffin]

Oh there's another treasure map since the boat update: A Stormy View, the treasure map can be found inside a blue house ruin on the orange island, and the tip to find the treasure is to use the telescope at the start point of parkour race 3

[Anjo]

such a good help, thank you

[Fru1t]

Thank you so much

[Enata]

Well, that's strange. Maybe try to start another save? Now that you really know the game, you should be able to skip a lot of quests and focus on reaching the top ASAP.

Maybe check speedrun videos if you need to be shown where to go?
Here is an example by Eueeeeeeeek : that performance should help you!

[Fru1t]

我已经通关了并且获得了全部成就除了第一个登上山顶的成就，为啥啊？
I've cleared the customs and achieved everything except the first one to get to the top of the mountain，why？

>Avery must be beaten twice on each circuit before giving you access to the next course.

Not sure if this is true. You only need to win once and then find the new location to do the next race. You may need to win twice to get the "medal" for each race though...

[Maciejkamil]

This guide helped me a lot!

[Casshio]

@cg CCCP Did you trigger the cutscene when you reached the top?
Maybe after you reached ground and take the nap.
