Overview
Just a small guide for achievements and secrets in the game.

Most of the achievements are self-explanatory.

I did not have any problem with most of them popping up but The Bubble 50 enemies achievement may be bugged or simply unclear as no one got it up to now.

I'm also not sure if Forgotten Garden, Evening is achievable yet or is it for future update.

As for the secrets i currently have no idea what count as a separate secret for the level so i just post screenshots of what i found in the level.

Release the bees Save the trapped bee
Save your first bee, you need a key to open the cage (found on enemies).

Unlocks after finding a first secret.

This is mine now! Take an item directly from the Nand
Take an item from the enemy (grab an item that is floating above them).

I can fly! Jump into the bubble
Jump into the bubble from the bubble gun.
First time it can be done is on the Sea of Wind level.

Aviator Use a bubble to fly significant distance
Use a bubble to fly significant distance.
I'm not sure what exactly counts but i got it quite quickly on the Sea of Wind level.

You look funny Bubble your friend
Requires a gamepad. Either play with someone in coop or if you are playing alone just connect a gamepad and in the main menu after moving with the first character press start to activate the second player. Then go to a level where you can use a bubble gun (preferably Sea of Wind - Morning as getting the bubble gun does not require any keys or gold) and use the bubble gun on the second player.

Strategist Gain 3 stars without selling any tower eight times
Seems they need to be unique levels, changing difficulty in the middle doesn't matter as i only needed to do two of them after changing difficulty to finish it easier.

Achievements that require repeating some action several times

Explorer Find 30 secrets
Unlocks after finding 30 secrets. (Seems like they don't have to be unique?)

Crush it Stomp a Nand for the first time
Stomp a Nand for the first time.
You can stomp enemies by clicking jump mid-air.

Foot of Fury Stomp 20 enemies
Stomp 20 enemies.
You can stomp enemies by clicking jump mid-air.

Call a menu with the same button you used to plant them and click the arrow up icon.

Gardener Grow and pull 50 plants
Unlocks after pulling out 50 plants that you planted.

Bubble Bath Bubble 50 enemies
Seems to be bugged. Probably should unlock after using bubble gun on 50 enemies? at least that's what the description would suggest, but seems that 0% of the players got it and i just made sure to bubble a lot of enemies and still no achievement.

Either that or it actually counts something else like actually defeating the enemies with the bubble gun or doing that during one level?


Artilleryman Use cannon 30 times
Unlocks after using the cannon 30 times.

Guardian of Hope Stop 500 Nands
Stop 500 Nands.

Protector of the Weak Stop 1500 Nands

Forgotten Garden
1/1

Green Meadows
Green Meadows - Morning
4/4









Green Meadows - Noon
3/3






Bee location:

Green Meadows - Evening
4/4








Fallen Fortress
Fallen Fortress - Morning
4/5
Seems it is a bug that one is not counted, source: developer post.





Bee location:


Fallen Fortress - Noon
5/5









Fallen Fortress - Evening
7/7









Sea of Wind
Sea of Wind - Morning
4/4

Important: Don't go to the flying platform part with a key on your back.
Nevermind, if you wait for the small flying platform to reappear at it's starting point you can simply jump back instead of using the bubble gun as the game suggests.


Important: Don't leave this one for the last - it's required to unlock one of the keys in another location.

After opening the lock, go back for your bubble gun and reach the end, use the lever and bubble gun to get the key to the other side.




The key is reachable under the deck here only if you pushed it from the secret on the other side.

Sea of Wind - Noon
4/4








(i'm not sure what it's supposed to do but the only way out i found was jumping out)
Dreamer's Mill
Dreamer's Mill - Morning
7/7











One is probably bugged:


You can get inside by jumping in the right place.


To get the key you simply need to use the bubble gun.



(Thanks to John Brain for commenting about it!)


Dreamer's Mill - Noon
8/8

The T-handle on the bottom floor of the house unlocks the bridge that later is needed to reach the top floor. The T-handle on the top floor releases a platform with a planting spot that you can catch with a lever near the seeds merchant.






Nimber's Kingdom
Nimber's Kingdom - Morning
7/7 ?
(I never get enough keys to unlock all so i always miss one in the summary, but it's always a known one/on this list already)




Using the lever underground unlocks another T-handle at the same spot.

T-handle here unlocks a T-handle at the flying platform.
Use the bubble gun to fly to the platform AFTER pressing the T-handle unlocked with the key.











Nimber's Kingdom - Noon
7/7




Press the T-handle while standing on the platform to go back.

Okay! I went back to the game and went to the bugged secret myself, even got the key and made some screenshots, so i added info about it to the guide.
Yuu  [author] Jul 18, 2023 @ 11:51am 
I assumed it probably is since some people got it (since there is a percentage of player that got the achievement), i should probably try to get it but once i was done with all the screenshots i wanted to take a break :blissful_creep:

Also good to know whats inside the secret ;) i gave up on trying to get there quickly as i still had other chapters to do but maybe i will try to get there again :mean_creep:

And about that missing secret on Dreamer's Mill Morning. I managed to sneak down there. I doubt this is the right way to do it, but at least it's possible. https://youtu.be/5uHh7cYpxKk?t=1762

I just got Strategist by playing a few maps without selling towers, this is very easy to do on Explorer difficulty, so this achievement is obtainable. Can't say the same about Bubble Bath, though.
