Kingdom Eighties - 100% Achievement Guide

In this guide I'll describe all the achievements for Kingdom Eighties.

Intro

Welcome to my guide for Kingdom Eighties.

I love the Kingdom series and I'm glad to see the achievement list for this new entry in the series has not that many challenging achievements. The most difficult ones will be to complete the game within 50 days and complete the game on cursed difficulty. I would recommend at least 2 different playthroughs because of those 2.

The game has missable achievements because you can't go back to previous areas. Gladly the game isn't long, so if you need to replay it, it doesn't take that long, but you might as well check out each level of this guide before really finishing it. Most of the time it is quite clear which action will finish the level, but if you trigger it, you can't go back.

It is up to you how to complete Kingdom Eighties, and maybe you are already playing the game and just looking up a specific achievement, but for those that would love to get a suggestion on how to tackle this. I would start with playing a section of level 1 on peaceful, just to unlock the only achievement that is achievable on the peaceful difficulty. This will give you a feeling for the game (and the differences compared to earlier entry in the series).

After that, I would suggest starting a new save file on the cursed difficulty. This can be quite challenging, but I managed to do it on my first playthrough. If things go horribly wrong, don't be afraid to lose your crown on purpose just to be able to load your old save, or to start from scratch on that level. This is the playthrough in which you want to unlock almost all the achievements, as you won't have that much time for them on the speedrun.

After finishing the cursed difficulty, start another new save file, and this time I would recommend playing on easy to beat the game in under 50 days. This means you have just a little over 3h to complete the game. Only work toward the main objective on each level, and try to leave each level with a full coin pouch.

Peaceful mode

It Still Counts
Destroy a portal on Peaceful
Play on the peaceful difficulty until you destroyed a portal. All the other achievements can't be unlocked on this difficulty.

Level 1

I would recommend doing the achievements for sawing all trees and completing this level with no more than 20 kids on this level as well.

County Connection
Wait for the bus
Wait at the bus stop on the first level. I have seen also a bus stop at levels 2 and 3, so I suspect those might work as well.

Wait for a blood moon, then go pay the spaceship. Buy the bike, jump with the "speed" buff, and let it rain coins.

Level 2

I would recommend not making any new mechanics at this level to get the achievement for only having 2 workers. This isn't possible on level 1 as you need 3 workers to get the canoe out of the cave.

Repair the dog house on level 2 and then throw a coin at the dog.

Muscle Machine
Slap a monster truck
Get the birthday party within your borders, pay for the cake, and then have 2 kids without tools coming to your birthday party. After that, you can put some more money toward the cake to unlock the monster truck. When you're in the truck, throw money on the ground a few times to unlock this.
Thanks RaykiryReaper & ⛧Dante⛧ for helping out with this one!

George Burnett Had Twins
Complete a level with only two workers
This can't be done on the first level, as you need 3 workers to remove the canoe from the cave. I did this on level 2, just never make any hammers.

On the third level (The streets), there is a place called "Shart Teeth". Repair it and a shark will eat you.

Not tied to a specific level

It's Not a Wishing Well
Lose 80 coins to the waters
When your coin purse is full and you receive new coins, they will fall into the water. You won't have to grind for this achievement as it is bound to pop while working your way through the other achievements.

Clumsy
Lose the Crown, and take it back
Get hit by The Greed while having no coins, then quickly pick up the crown again.

Stubborn
Survive for 50 days in one level
I did this in the first area after destroying the cave, as it seems then there don't arrive any enemies, even with portals on the other side of the map left. Each day takes 4 minutes, so this means you'll spend a little under 3,5h on an island. It pops at the start of day 51 on that island.

Loner
Complete a level with no more than 20 kids
I got this when I just beat the last portal on the right of the second area, barely made it, and lost a lot of kids. So I guess the number of kids lost made it under 20 available at the moment of beating the stage. This might easiest be done on the first level, just doesn't require many.

Saw Boss
Clear all the trees on any level
Easiest on the first level but can be done on any level.

Wizard
Complete the game on Hard
The difficulties stack, so if you completed the game on the cursed difficulty, this one unlocks as well.

Captain N
Complete the game on Cursed
The difficulties stack, so if you completed the game on the cursed difficulty, the achievement for hard difficulty unlocks as well.

Speedrun

Don't Smell the Flowers
Complete the game in 50 days or less
This achievement is much easier than it sounds. Just always go to the next level with a full bag of coins to be able to build up the next base quickly, and even if you don't do this, this is very very doable. I did this achievement on easy and only used 21 out of 50 days to beat the game.

Helpful guide specifically the BMX achievement. Thanks!

[Sand5853]

I got the BMX achievement after finding this guide. I got it again at the bus stop and just jumped and dropped coins and got the achievement. Maybe they took out the Blood Moon part, or maybe I wasn't paying attention to the time?

[Luci]

Great guide, thanks a lot for putting it together! :)

"Muscle Machine" wouldn't unlock for me while just throwing coins. Instead I had to go in speed mode until 'exhaustion'. When the car starts spitting fume and slows down due to exhaustion the character literally hits it. This unlocked the achievement for me.

@KronoKinesis Thank you, kind person! Live happily and may luck accompany you in everything! =)

[KronoKinesis]

@RellKnur you have to actually drop coins while you are in the air for the achievement. Jumping doesn't give you coins, you drop them from your purse.

[RellKnur]

I'm unsure on how to actually get the bmx one from the bloodmoon. I actually did get the bike during a blood moon, and made it fly, but didn't get coins or the achievement

[Chora's]

Thank you

About the Bus Stop achievement: I just got this one, and I stood at the bus shelter for a couple in-game days. When I moved so that I was sitting right on top of the bus sign, then it unlocked. The achievement might be very picky about where at the bus stop you wait.

[ᚦ GamingPillager ᚱ]

peaceful mode mentions achievements are disabled. Can only get the one achievement on it.

[Alexa White]

How long wait bus?
