1 / 900

You need to find a pile of poo on top of one of the houses in the dream world.

Enter the dream world at the Hidden Gorge so you enter at the Endless Cayon. Extinguish the lights in the house (either by entering through the painting or going through the house and over the invisible bridge). Now you need to go into the house and follow the stairs to the top floor (a few extra doors have opened which reveals extra floors). On the top floors, a pursuer is roaming you need to get past them and out on the top floor balcony. Jump onto the roof from the balcony and make your way to the top of the roof there you will find a pile of poo that will play a song for you. Congratulations you have the achievement!

This is probably easier if you drop your artifact and leave the light area.

Nepo made a very good video demonstrating this path. Check it out and give them a thumbs up.

Around the world in 90 seconds

Raft around the Stranger in under 90 seconds.

After the dam breaks use rapids to gain some speed. Can take a few tries, practice your turns and straightaways.

Celsius 232.78

Burn a Slide Reel in a campfire.

Take any slide reel to the fire chamber of any tower, there will be an option to burn it.

Early Adopter

Bring a prototype artifact into the dream world.

The prototypes can be found in a box to the right in the workshop accessed through a hull breach on the outside of the Stranger. The prototype looks like a real artifact without the focusing part at the front. Take the prototype and dose of or meditate at the fire in any tower.

Fire Arrows

Shoot the Little Scout at the artificial sun in the Stranger.

I found it easiest to do at the top of the dam. Go there and give it a few tries.

Flat Hearther

Get crushed beneath a moving chain elevator.

A commenter noted that for the elevator in the hanger to work you need to stand on the edge of the circle. All other elevators should work without trouble.

Ghosts in the Machine

Reach all 3 Forbidden Archives in a single loop without getting caught.

This one might require some practice. Turning on the reduced fright mode might help since it makes the pursuers move slower. There are also some shortcuts that can be used which makes it easier to get to the archives.

There is an excellent guide made by rat baby which explains this achievement in detail. Check it out and give them a thumbs up.

Oof Ouch, My Bones

Have your spine adjusted by a pursuer

Drop the artifact and move outside the light range. Now get caught by any pursuer, they will snap your neck and give you the achievement.

Simulation Hypothesis

Attempt to use the artifact at a normal campfire.

Grab the artifact and go back to your ship. Fly to any campfire and dose off.

Sleep. Wake. Repeat.

Be woken up from a dream 5 different ways in a single loop.




Some ways to be woken up:

• Have your flame extinguished.
  
• Die to fall damage.
  
• Stand in the fire.
  
• Drop the artifact and jump into the water so you drown.
  
• Get to close the bells.

The Grate Filter

Swim through the dam grate.

Go to the top of the dam and dive down on the left or right side. There is a grate which you simply have to swim through.

The Silenced Cartographer

Render the Deep Space Satellite inoperable by ramming it with your ship.

Smash into the satellite in a few hundred meters per second.

Tubular!

Ride the face of the wave for at least 15 seconds on a raft.

Wait for the dam to break and catch the wave. Surfs up!

Don't start at the dam, the wave will be too big and knock you off. Start further downstream and make sure you have a clear path ahead. Using your jetpack to thrust downwards might help to keep you on the raft. I think you can also steer a bit to the left and right to avoid obstacles.

I started after the arc between River Lowlands and Cinder Isles. I kept to the left close to some rocks and just stayed on the raft.

Sean Hastings made a video starting almost at the same spot. Check it out and give them a thumbs up.

You'll Never Take Me Alive!

Escape your pursuers by jumping to your “death” instead of dodging past them.

Enter the dream world at the Hidden Gorge so you enter at the Endless Cayon. Extinguish the lights in the house (either by entering through the painting or going through the house and over the invisible bridge). Now you need to go into the house and light up the bridge inside the house and then jump down into the water.

Go into the house and follow the stairs down to the hand warp on the left. Use the warp and make your way around the pursuer near the bridge. Go left after the bridge and make your way to the torch statue. Light up the bridge, rotate to the left, and jump over the railing down into the water. Congratulations you have the achievement!

This is a lot easier reduced fright mode since the pursuers move slower.

Babar made a video demonstrating this although it seems like you don't actually need to light the bridge inside the house. Check out the video and give him a thumbs up.

Thanks!

Thanks for the steam points! It's really appreciated.

@gago: it works with reduced frights on.

FWIW, I made several unsuccessful attempts jumping into the small pool with the water-level bridge across it; the method which worked was jumping into the canyon (over the railings to the right of the "eye" used to light the internal bridge).

[Relyks2000]

@gago I wondered why that one video of mine was getting views lol. Yes, the jump is a bit annoying and took multiple tries.

[gago]

Seems like you can't actually get "You'll Never Take Me Alive!" with reduced frights on, I tried for a while but the strangers just don't do the lunge "attack" with it enabled.

I used the route in this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzP7mIHbxKc which at the moment is the newest guide which worked first try for me. The jump from the invisible bridge to the balcony roof can be annoying but it's possible and then just sit and wait for a stranger to come around the corner. As they make the lunge sound, walk off the railing.

[Ice Nine]

You dont need to be outside the artifact radius to have your neck snaped when geting caught, just not holding the artifact.

[Deadpool]

For "You'll Never Take Me Alive!", what is the distance they need to be from you before you can jump over the edge?

[Alexolas]

hmm. i don't have Sleep, Wake, Repeat yet. anyone want to give me a list of 5 awakenings for me to use as an experiment?

[hazehaunter]

Thinking about it, though, Starlit Cove should be even better: no need to go far away for the bells

[hazehaunter]

Some more data for the Sleep, Wake, Repeat. I did:
- burned in fire
- got woken by bells
- drowned with artifact
- fall damage
- got caught by elk while holding the artifact. It got me the achievement.

Also, Endless Canyon is a perfect place to get this achievement:
- It's quick to get into (via the hull breach)
- The fire/drowning/elk deaths are straightforward
- Fall damage is easy if you just walk straight out of the shrine and land on the central invisible bridge
- For the bells, use the invisible bridge to the elevator, ride the boat, jump out of it while the next area is loading, walk to the sarcophagus, and use the bells guarding one of the seals there.

[CaptainNoobles]

Drowning seems to count as 1 death, regardless of if you're holding an artefact or not

[Dianx]

@BulaBula777 you get a golden pile of poo by collecting 900 korok seeds. So it's still poo.
