Introduction
In this guide I will organize the achievements by having a section for each day explaining what achievements are possible on said day or what actions are needed in order to get achievements in upcoming days.

Achievements that are tied to specific endings I will hide as a spoiler.

Some achievements will be tied to more than one specific steps, these achievements will display the current step out of the total number of steps needed to get the achievement. example: achievement name: (current step/out of total steps) (#/#)
Anyday and Everyday
Anyday

Right on the money: Make a perfect cast. this one in my opinion is the most annoying one to do, so I would recommend going after other achievements first where you'll probably get this one by accident. you can recast your line without losing a worm by pressing Z after casting

Worm wrangler: Move the shovel around and spam the X key, You'll get about 8-12 worms this way, if you don't get 10, try again the next day or restart the day.

100% Fishing Vacation: Get every achievement

Everyday

Fisher? I barely know er!: Catch every possible fish you can every day (including prologue) and fish near the lily pads every day as well; once all the fish for the day have been caught continue fishing until you run out of bait. You don't need to catch every fish, just get at least 30 different unique catches in a single run.

Mythos researcher (1/2): In the upper left room there is a book that you can read every day before and after fishing; read it until all that's left is torn pages. (continued on day 3)

Wart defeated: Fish near the lily pads once everyday including the night of day 2 (with the exception of the prologue) and catch whatever is near the lily pads until you catch Wart on day 3.
Prologue
Fish on!: Get your fist catch! that's it.
Day 1
There is no specific achievement tied to day 1. Day 1 is where you should work on previously mentioned achievements that you need to work on everyday and/or anyday.
Day 2 and Night 2
This is where different achievements will branch out from each other, meaning you'll have to start multiple playthroughs in order to get the ones you miss.

The head, the tail, the whole damn thing (1/2): Skip going night fishing. (continued on day 3)

New sneaks (1/2): go fishing at night. (continued on day 3)

Spoilers:

Ending A/D (1/3): Before you go fishing talk to your friend and listen to his story. Catch every fish until there is one last shadow spot on the far end of the lake where a hand will grab your line. Once you reel it in you'll get the first key. (continued on the night of day 2)

Night 2 and spoilers

New sneaks (1/2): go fishing at night. (continued on day 3)

Ending A/D (2/3): Go night fishing and catch every fish available, when returning to the cabin you will find a trail of eaten fish; search one of the fish for the second key (continued on day 3)

Ending B (1/2): Go fishing at night and do not catch all of the fish (continued on day 3)

Ending C: When given the option to go night fishing decline and finish the game
Day 3
Down in the cellar: find all the keys to unlock the cellar. In order to do this you must be on the path of Ending A/D.

The head, the tail, the whole damn thing (2/2): catch all of the fish, the last fish will be the shark.

New sneaks (2/2): Go fishing until you catch the second shoe

Spoilers

Mythos Researcher: You must be on the path to finishing ending A/D in order to get this. At the end of the cellar is the shrine room where the last remaining pages are, just simply read them

Ending A/D (3/3): Catch the second shoe in order to get the last key to open and explore the cellar. Once you exit the cellar leave the cabin, you'll be asked to go back inside to find the keys. Once you get the keys you will be attacked by the monster.

Ending A: Escape the monster and enjoy the ending

Ending D: Get caught by the monster

Ending B (2/2): Make sure you do not receive all three keys before finishing day 3 and finish the game. This can easily be done by not catching all of the fish on the night day 2 or not picking up the key on night 2

Ending E: Once you make it to the shrine in the cellar, go to the tunnel at the left of the shrine room and keep going deeper

great stuff. Found another typo for you though. You put "trial of eaten fish" instead of "trail"

Is the first shoe a shadow spot or do you need to fishing in a certain area to catch it?

Thanks.

I have almost an hour of game-time just going for Right on the Money. I'm, talking hundred and hundreds of casts over and over. I swear the time you have to hit the button must be like .00001 of a second.

The achievement didn't trigger for me, but to get the new ending, just follow the ending A/D path, but in the cellar, enter the tunnel on the left and keep going further in

Great guide! Never would have figured this out on my own and you helped me to see all the game which is awesome. Just two comments: For "The Head, the Tail," maybe I am misinterpreting your wording but I think you can catch the shark even if you go night fishing. And for "Wart Defeated," maybe just say "fish the reeds once a day to catch Frog (Day 1), Tadpole (Day 2), and Frog Spawn (Day 3)." I wasn't sure how much you needed to fish the reeds. Other than that great work!

Thank you for making this guide, i was really lost on how to catch the wart, thought it was a random event with low rates. Also, for the "Right on the money!" achievement, you can just cast on a random place, and if it doesnt connect press X to retry, you don't lose worms! :steamthumbsup:
