Achievement Notes & Road Map.
Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden contains a total of 20 Steam achievements, of these, 7 are earned through natural progression and the remaining 13 are missable. Sadly two full playthroughs of the main game and one of the bonus chapter are required to 100% Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden.

Main Game Playthrough #1
- Start the main game on expert difficulty (expert mode).
- Do not skip any mini-game puzzles.
- Do not use hints while playing any hidden object games (HOG's).
- Do not play any games of dominoes.
- Feel free to skip cut scenes if you really must (but it is worth playing the game in its entirety for the first playthrough at least).
- There are no achievements saying that you cannot use hints outside of HOG's, that said I wouldn't just in case (I didn't).
- Make sure to earn PUZZLE MASTERMIND, QUICK-EYE, WINNERS DON'T SKIP, 3-IN-3, LADY DIY, MARKSMAN, NEVER A SKIPPER & DIY MASTER achievements. If you miss PUZZLE MASTERMIND, WINNERS DON'T SKIP or NEVER A SKIPPER you can have another opportunity to earn them in your second playthrough, it will just mean your second playthrough will be slower as you will have to play the mini-game puzzles again rather than skipping them. The QUICK-EYE, 3-IN-3, LADY DIY, MARKSMAN & DIY MASTER are vital to earn on the first playthrough otherwise you will have to do a 3rd to mop up and earn 100%.

Bonus Chapter
- There is only one achievement in the bonus chapter that is earned for simply playing and completing it. Feel free to use hints, skips and a difficulty as you see fit.
- None of the HOG or mini-game puzzle achievemnts relate to this chapter, they all refer to the main game only (chapters 1 through 10).

Main Game Playthrough #2
- Play on any difficulty.
- Skip any cut scenes if you wish.
- Skip any mini-game puzzles if you wish (as long as you earned PUZZLE MASTERMIND, WINNERS DON'T SKIP or NEVER A SKIPPER achievements in your first playthrough).
- When you encounter a HOG during this playthrough, do not play the HOG, instead click on the domino tiles in the bottom left of the screen to play a game of dominoes in place of the HOG. There are 22 HOG's, there is an achievement for completing 11 games of dominoes, another achievement for completing all 22 games of dominoes and a further achievement for completing 1 game of dominoes within 60 seconds.

I have added a full video walkthrough at the end of the guide with time indexers for all HOG's and mini-game puzzles to help you find the solution you require as quickly as possible.
3-IN-3 Achievement Guide.
3 IN 3.
(Find 3 hidden-objects within 3 seconds).

Warning, this achievement is missable. To earn this achievement you must click on three objects within three seconds in a hidden object game. To get this one out the way quickly, during the first HOG pause for a moment and search out three items on the list, remembering where each is on screen and then quickly click on all three in succession. Note, I do not know if this can be unlocked during the bonus chapter.

At the bottom of this guide is a full video walkthrough for Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden with time markers for all HOG's, puzzles and mini-game solutions.

See Chapter 1 video walkthrough at 2m26s marker to see where I earned this achievement.
MARKSMAN Achievement Guide.
MARKSMAN.
(Finish any hidden-object scene with less than 5 misclicks).

Warning, this achievement is missable. To earn this achievement you must complete a HOG with less than 5 misclicks (a misclick is when you click anywhere on screen that is not on one of the objects listed at the bottom of the screen).

There are a total of 22 HOG's in the main Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden game (a further 9 in the bonus chapter), if you have not earned this achievement by the start of chapter 10 watch my chapter 10 walkthrough at 1m47s for the 21st HOG or 7m16s for the 22nd HOG to prime yourself for item locations in advance to ensure you do not miss this achievement. Please note, I do not know if this achievement can be earned in the bonus chapter.

PUZZLE MASTERMIND Achievement Guide.
PUZZLE MASTERMIND.
(Finish any mini-game in less than 1 minute).

Warning, this achievement is missable. To earn this achievement you must complete a mini-game puzzle in less than 60 seconds, while I noted this achievement as missable, it quite honestly isn't as there's more than one puzzle later in the game that can be completed in mere seconds. Note, I do not know if this can be unlocked during the bonus chapter.

PATHFINDER Achievement Guide.
PATHFINDER.
(Make your way through the maze in the Agricultural section).

This is the first of the story related achievements that will be earned as part of your natural progression and it cannot be missed.

Starting in chapter 2 you begin to collect 4 map pieces, in chapter 4 when you have all 4 pieces, you then head to the photographer's studio and complete a mini-game puzzle to assemble the map, this map then gives you directions that allow you to navigate the greenhouse area beyond the "Tree".

For help with the map assembly puzzle, check the video walkthrough for chapter 4 at the 2m54s mark.
QUICK-EYE Achievement Guide.
QUICK-EYE.
(Finish any hidden-object scene in less than 1 minute).

Warning, this achievement is missable. If you manage to earn this achievement during one of the standard HOG's (items listed as text at the bottom of the screen that you have to find) without using a guide, I salute you. As for us mere mortals the easy way to earn this achievement is with one of the few HOG's that show pictures of the items that need collecting... primarily as there's only 4 to 6 items to find and they are super easy.

See my video walkthrough for chapter 5 at the 0m07s (6th HOG) or 4m33s (7th HOG) for two of the easiest opportunities to earn this achievement.
ESCAPE ARTIST Achievement Guide.
ESCAPE ARTIST.
(Free yourself from the Restraining Vines).

This is another story related achievement that will be earned as part of your natural progression and it cannot be missed.

At the start of chapter 5 you find yourself strung up to a tree, secured by some vines, to escape, grab the post on your right and use the post to clear the vines covering the table to your left, then complete the HOG on the table to get a ladle and use the ladle to obtain some herbicide dripping on the floor in front of you. Lastly, use the ladle of herbicide to remove the vines securing you to the tree and the achievement is yours.

See chapter 5 video walkthrough from the start to the 0m58s mark for further assistance.
NUTTIN' LIKE A FURRY FRIEND Achievement Guide.
NUTTIN' LIKE A FURRY FRIEND.
(Give a cute squirrel a nut).

This is the third story related achievement that will be earned as part of your natural progression and cannot be missed.

In chapter 8 when you gain access to the orangery you will encounter a squirrel (love to know how he found his way down here...), a squirrel that has something around his neck that you need, aptly named a "squirrel token". The path to obtaining this token is quite long and involves finding a drill bit, installing it in a drill, drilling out a tree to obtain sap in the greenhouse (beyond the "Tree") and finding some nuts to feed the squirrel in a hole, in the same tree you drill for sap.

See chapter 8 video walkthrough from the 4m22s mark to the 7m11s mark which covers obtaining an ice pick to get the drill bit, installing the bit in a drill, draining the tree sap, finding the nuts and feeding the squirrel to obtain the squirrel token.
THE FLORIST Achievement Guide.
THE FLORIST.
(Collect the Flower from Greenhouse).

This is the fourth story related achievement that will be earned as part of your natural progression and cannot be missed.

In chapter 8 once you have fed the squirrel some nuts and obtained the squirrel token, the token is used to open a case to the right where you obtain the sun control dial. You then use this dial along with the wind control dial that should already be in your inventory to fix the weather controls and turn on the wind, rain and sun.

Backing away from the controls and Mr squirrel, claim the pink flower partially obscured to the right of the weather controls and this achievement is yours. See chapter 8 video walkthrough from the 7m11s mark to the 8m03s mark for further help.
SAY CHEESE! Achievement Guide.
SAY CHEESE!.
(Scare the beast blocking your way).

This is the fifth story related achievement that will be earned as part of your natural progression and cannot be missed.

In chapter 8, when you go to make the incense to cure Robert you will find yourself stuck in the library with a giant squid blocking your exit to the flooded reception. To clear the path and earn this achievement you must grab the flash powder and lighter fluid from off the floor then head upstairs to the observatory.

Fill the lighter on the floor behind the broken window and pick it up, then play the HOG in the dinosaur's mouth to net the second bottle of flash powder. Lastly, head back downstairs and into the study and load up the flash stick with the flash powder, attach the lighter and then go and shove it in the squid's face.

See chapter 8 video walkthrough from the 10m37s mark to the 12m32s mark for further help.
PRISON BREAK Achievement Guide.
PRISON BREAK.
(Escape from the Laboratory).

This is the Sixth story related achievement that will be earned as part of your natural progression and cannot be missed.

At the end of chapter 9 Greg gets possessed and locks you in the makeshift lab below the sewer hideout, starting chapter 10 grab the rope, fuse and handle from behind the grate on the floor, attach one end of the rope to the grate at the top of the ladder, blocking your exit and the other end to the fan on the wall. Then open the fan fuse box (on the left of the fan), replace the broken fuse, turn the fan on and the achievement is yours.

See chapter 10 video walkthrough from the start to the 1m22s mark for further help.
NEVER A SKIPPER Achievement Guide.
NEVER A SKIPPER.
(Finish all the mini-games without using the 'SKIP' option).

Warning, this achievement is missable. As noted in the WINNERS DON'T SKIP guide, do not skip any mini-game puzzles in your first playthrough of the MAIN game (chapters 1 through 10). You are free to skip any or all puzzles in your second playthrough to earn the Dominoes related achievements and also when playing the bonus chapter.

At the bottom of this guide is a full video walkthrough for Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden with time markers for all HOG's, puzzles and mini-game solutions.
DIY MASTER Achievement Guide.
DIY MASTER.
(Finish all hidden-object scenes without using any hints).

Warning, this achievement is missable. As noted in the LADY DIY guide, do not use any hints in any of the HOG's during the MAIN game (Chapters 1 through 10) for your first playthrough, in your second playthrough you will be playing games of dominoes in place of HOG's.

If you need help finding an object during a HOG, at the bottom of this guide is a full video walkthrough for Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden with time markers for all HOG's, puzzles and mini-game solutions.
THE WHOLE STORY Achievement Guide.
THE WHOLE STORY.
(Complete the game (Expert Mode)).

The title and description of this achievement are misleading, to earn this achievement you must simply complete the MAIN game (chapters 1 through 10) on Expert Mode. The achievement pops as the credits begin to roll at the end of chapter 10 and there is no need to play the bonus chapter on expert to earn this achievement.
THE REBEL Achievement Guide.
THE REBEL.
(Save your child from the hospital (additional content)).

This achievement pops as the credits roll at the end of the bonus chapter.

It should be noted that while the achievement description states this bonus chapter is "additional content" the version of Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden on Steam is the collectors edition and comes with the bonus chapter, there is no additional DLC and all achievements can be earned with the base game.
SPEED REACH Achievement Guide.
SPEED REACH.
(Finish a game of Domino in less than 1 minute).

To earn this achievement you must complete a game of dominoes within 60 seconds (see the achievement guide for GAME, SET, MATCH for detailed information on playing games of dominoes).

Please note that you cannot earn this achievement by playing games of dominoes in the extras section of the main menu, these are for practicing only and sadly not for earning achievements.

It should also be noted that the starting layout and solution to domino games is random and thus sadly no guide or video walkthrough will help you.

EQUALLY MATCHED Achievement Guide.
EQUALLY MATCHED.
(Finish half of all the games of Domino).

See GAME, SET, MATCH achievement guide for info.
GAME, SET, MATCH Achievement Guide.
GAME, SET, MATCH.
(Finish all the games of Domino).

During your first playthrough of Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden MAIN game (chapters 1 through 10) you want to do a full playthrough completing all the puzzles and HOG's without skipping any to earn the bulk of the achievements. With this out of the way you need to do a second playthrough of the MAIN game, during this playthrough when you encounter a HOG, click on the dominoes icons in the bottom left of the screen to play a game of dominoes in place of the HOG.

There are a total of 22 HOG's in the MAIN game and thus you must complete 22 games of dominoes, it should be noted that you are free to play or skip the mini-game puzzles in this second playthrough and you need not replay the bonus chapter as this achievement only relates to playing the dominoes substitute game in the Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden MAIN game (chapters 1 through 10).

On a further note, while you can access the HOG's / Domino games in the extras section of the main menu, this just allows you to practice the games and completion of HOG's / Domino games from the extras menu does not count towards completion of any achievements.

On a final note, please be aware that games of dominoes are entirely random and the starting layout as well as solution will differ from one playthrough to the next, as such, no guide or video walkthrough will help you here, I have however added a quick video to show how the games work...

Thanks for the post Conchita, hope you found the guide useful, as for the Steam key, yeah, sadly people rarely post to say they took the key. I post a few keys a month either in my guides or in my video comments section, so hopefully you have better luck next time.
Conchita 16 May, 2021 @ 3:18pm 
nice guide :steamthumbsup:

also seeing as nobody posted that they used the Steam key, i checked it and it had been used
