Digseum Chronological %100 Achievement Guide

Complete achievements guide for Digseum in chronological order. This guide will take you from the beginning and leave you with a perfect game.

Introduction

Hello, and thank you for checking out this guide. This is a chronological 100% achievement guide, which means if you start the game while following this guide, when you finish the guide, you will get all of the achievements and perfect the game.

This means this guide will tell you stuff that the game generally will hold back until you finish it at least once. So, SPOILERS AHEAD.

I don't think this game even needs any guide for achievements, as it's pretty short, and the achievements are pretty straightforward and easy to get. But writing these guides turned into a nice little hobby of mine, and sometimes when writing these, we are able to find some bugs and can document them or open some of the achievement-related topics up to discussion, so having a guide like this could still be useful. Apart from that, some might enjoy having the company of a guide while playing on their own.

If you are searching for a specific achievement, you can search this page by clicking on Ctrl + F and writing the achievement name.

If you think there are parts to improve in this guide, please leave a comment so I can look into it. Additions will be made with credits to your profile name.

Very easy game to get 100% achievements. 2 of them are basically for finishing the game, so they're story-related. The other 8 are basically when you reach some milestones in the game, be it relics, money, prestige, or relic levels.

Nothing too confusing, and it took me around 2.5 hours, including writing the guide. Also, considering that almost 80 percent of the people who opened the game have the least received achievement, using this guide to get achievements is not necessary. Maybe it can be a reference paper while going through it.

Inner Dynamics of the Guide

Here is how the guide will work: It counts each prestige as a chapter. In these chapters, the guide will mention each excavation area when we first enter them. The actual time you enter them might be different than the guide, but it shouldn't differ too much.

During this time, we will also see the achievements in the order we get them. But again, there could be different strategies, and you might get them before/after the guide. That's all cool.

Basics

The tutorial from the game is pretty nice, so you can just follow it. But in case you missed what was being said in it, I will add some short pointers. I keep them in spoiler tag if you want to go through the game yourself first.

The main gameplay loop includes you excavating relics and earning passive income from people visiting them.

There are different places to excavate, and you have limited energy while excavating.

The relics you find, if found for the first time, will be added to your catalog, and if found before, will add to their levels, thus earning you more money.

Excavating and finding relics in the same area also increases the level of that area, increasing all of the income from the relics that come from this area.

There are only limited amounts of different relics for each excavation area.

You pay money to open new areas, and excavating them each time also costs money, except for Mud Pit.

Quick Restarting, although not indicates so, keeps all the earned relics and experiences.

With the money earned, you can buy upgrades to improve different aspects of the game.

Each location can also have dream fragments, which is the premium currency that can purchase better upgrades in the dream tree. The number of dream fragments we can get from a location is limited but can be increased with dream tree upgrades.

Dream fragments can be used in the dream tree after a prestige. Prestige makes you lose all your progress for the benefit of dream tree upgrades. Different dream tree upgrades can improve how prestige affects your game.

The aim is to go through all the locations and find the last relic.

Prestige 1

Mud Pit

The first level with simple dirt to excavate. Apart from having limited stamina, there is not much of a problem in this level.

Achievement: My First Relic

Discover your first relic



After we get the first relic from the excavation, we will unlock this achievement.

Forest of Secrets

Starting from this level, we are able to find a limited amount of dream fragments in each level. When a level includes a dream fragment, you will see 3 checkboxes instead of the standard 2. Continue excavating until you find it.

Achievement: Mysterious Fragment

Obtain your first dream fragment



I got this in this level, but it’s possible for you to get it in later levels. It popped when I got back to the main screen.

From now on, anytime we go to a new level, we can "quick restart" it until we get the dream fragments. With proper upgrades, this shouldn’t take so much time. Even sub-1M upgrades give decent coverage for this.

Echo Cave

1 Dream Fragment. For now.

Mushroom Grotto

Opens up a prestige upgrade. We can get the next dream fragment and go for this one.

Achievement: Millionaire

Earn 1,000,000 G



This would come with natural progression and very possibly before this area. I was upgrading and quick restarting so much without much of a wait, that’s why I got it here.

Lost Pyramids

With the dream fragment from here, we should have 4 now. We can go for a Prestige.

Prestige 2

Achievement: Dreaming

Prestige for the first time



1M price tag for the prestige. Choose dream tree upgrades as you like. Nothing much to warn about at the moment.

In this and the coming prestiges, we will quickly restart an excavate area until we get the dream fragment. Then, we will move on to the next. The initial chance of a dream fragment appearing is 30%. There is a dream tree upgrade to increase this probability.

Even though we might be back to the Lost Pyramids, it’s possible we still don’t have enough money for the next location. Upgrading the levels of the relics for some tiny amount of time should give enough money for the next location.

But the next location is already hard to excavate, so we will need extra upgrades. So it’s better to Prestige again at this point.

Prestige 3

Since our main currency is dream fragments, it would be important for us to increase the amount we get them per prestige. So with the 4 dream fragments we get from this prestige, we can purchase Daydreaming Lv 1 > Mystic Radar.

Mystic Radar increases the number of dream fragments we can get from locations by 1. This means even the Mud Pit has one dream fragment now, and the others have 2, effectively doubling our dream fragment input per prestige.

Like last prestige, excavating the area until we exhaust all dream fragments. Doing so should allow us to get enough money for upgrades as well.

Since we didn’t get any money-related upgrades from Dream Tree, it should still be a tad hard for us to enter the next location. But we are coming around. We can do the next prestige with our 9 dream fragments.

Prestige 4

For the upgrades, we have to get Deep Sleep. This also doubles our dream fragment income.

Parallel Dreams might help with fastening prestige speed. Daydreaming Lv 2 would also help for that. These are not extremely necessary though, you can go for other money upgrades.

Now we can stay in the Lost Pyramids a bit and take the pickaxe level to 6.

Mount Stone

Lots of rocks, but we can try to get the dream fragments from here in this prestige. You can also wait for the next prestige, would be definitely easier.

If you want to try here, don’t overextend; maybe just focus on one quarter/half.

After you find all 3, we should be having 24 dream fragments now. We can go for the next prestige.

Prestige 5

The upper left corner of the dream tree upgrades is generally for keeping things after prestiges. You can invest some in it, along with some other actual money upgrades.

Of all, make sure to get Unchanged, as it allows you to keep all the upgrades, so the beginning of each run would stop from being a slog.

With all the upgrades from the last prestige, we should be reaching millions even right after the Mud Pit. Upgrade accordingly and get all the dream fragments.

Snowy Summit

3 dream fragments

Mucky Marsh

4 dream fragments

Jungle Temple

4 dream fragments. If you’re having a hard time getting to this, you can prestige earlier.

After getting these fragments, we should hit somewhat of a soft lock, so it’s best the prestige now.

Prestige 6

Achievement: Sleep Cycles

Prestige 5 times



This should come when we see the dream tree.

If you haven’t selected, in this round, we gotta go for the Semblance > Inspector > Dream Pocket route. This will remove almost all of the negative parts of the prestige.

We still need to go to each of the excavation areas to get the dream fragments, though. Also, since we got the Dream Pocket, we can make sure that in each level, we got every relic. At this point, it should be way easier to get the dream fragments than to make sure you have everything. Sometimes RNG just doesn’t give one type of relic for a long time.

We can prestige again after we make sure we have all the dream fragments and relics from this prestige.

Prestige 7

We have to open Third Eye in this prestige if we haven’t already.

This will open the Mystic Scope > Mystic Sight > Dream Fragmentation line.

Also, get the Wish.

If you still have extra dream fragments, you can get Analyzer as well. It will help with another achievement, though we are not trying to get it but specifically grinding for it.

Now, we can get all the dream fragments from each location.

Now we can use wish to add one level to all of the relics, using Upgrades shop. Increasing relic levels increases the income, but until we get some other dream tree upgrades, it’s better not to waste too many dream fragments on the wish now.

Volcanic Wasteland

6.00T location

Make sure to get all the dream fragments and relics.

Time for another prestige.

Prestige 8

Upgrades: Collapsing Dreams > Endless Dreams. We can finish the Endless Dreams here as its total cost is 40, but in one prestige, it would net 200 additional dream fragments.

With these upgrades, Mud Pit and Forest of Secrets will not have enough space to have all of the dream fragments they can offer, so we will need to excavate them twice.

Cloudtop Castle

3e15 location

When we get all the relics and dream fragments from this location, we will be ready for another prestige.

Prestige 9

It would be smart to invest in Miracle, as it would improve Wish's performance. I think we should have enough dream fragments to finish almost all of the dream tree upgrades.

Achievement: Level 100

Level up a relic to level 100



After the analyzer upgrade, this should come naturally.

After we finish Cloudtop Castle again, we should be near the last location’s unlock fee. If you don’t have enough for it, simply wish a little bit, and you will be there.

Rainbow Bridge

9e19 location

Don’t forget to do normal upgrades to ease your life.

After we get all the relics and dream fragments from this level, check if you’ve opened the Godlike Relics upgrade from Dream Tree. If yes, use wish to make your relics reach 1000 levels. If not, you prestige, get that upgrade and come back to this place again.

Tip: You can click and hold on the Wish button to auto-buy many.

Astral Plane

5e26 location

Achievement: Octillionaire

Earn 1e27 G



While doing things in the Astral Plane, it’s possible you will get this achievement.

You can try to get all the relics from Astral Plane, but another Prestige might be in order.

Prestige 10

We have to get Astrology here. It only opens after unlocking the Astral Plane.

Achievement: Level 1000

Level up a relic to level 1,000



We’ve done this in the last prestige, but it only popped in this one after I finished Mud Pit one time. Don’t know what it checks.

We don’t need to find all the relics to get all of the achievements. And at this point, we don’t really need them. So we can go for the last prestige.

Prestige 11

We should be able to completely buy out all the upgrades in the Dream Tree now.

Achievement: Final Destination

Unlock the final location



Buying the Where am I? upgrade will give this achievement.

Brink of Reality

If you have enough dream fragments, you can go for this immediately. If not, just go to some other areas to get some more of it.

Achievement: Awaken

Beat the game
After you complete the brink of reality, you will get this achievement.
