In this guide I hope you can find the hints and help you need to unlock the 35 achievements in the game.
This is a complete guide, the achievements have been organized in groups to make it easy to read the guide and get them.
Changed Tides

Attain all other achievements



I start with the last one that you will surely get. To get this achievement, you need to unlock all other achievements in the game.
Stats Related Achievements
In this section you will find all the 6 achievements related to the Stats menu of the game. You can see it in the following image:





Submariner

2 Leagues Under the Seas. Travel 10000m aboard the vessel while submerged



You can reload at any point and this counts towards the achievement.
Secret Achievement



Full Steam Ahead

You need to charge and travel 1000m using the Boost Module



You can reload at any point and this counts towards the achievement.
Secret Achievement



Running a Tight Ship

Successfully repair key parts of the vessel 10 times




You can reload at any point and this counts towards the achievement.



Fuel-Guzzler

Burn 100 fuel



Very easy to obtain. Just keep playing and eventually it pop up. You can reload at any point and this counts towards the achievement. You don't need to wait to burn all the item, just put one after another to increase the counter.



Going Green

Burn the flower



If you do this to get this achievement. I recommend doing it right after you make a new save and reloading right after it poped up. Because you need the plant for other achievements.



Running on Fumes

Burned the last item onboard



Have in mind that you need to burn everything including repair boxes


Journey related Achievements
The following list of achievements are the ones that you can get them through the journey in your ship. Their total number here is 4 achievements.



Oh Buoy

Push all the buoys out of the way



It's easy to miss if you're underwater, if so, pay attention to the chains.

Hint: Where there is a buoy present there are usually the containers that will help us unlock the next achievement



Salvage Hunter

Salvage the contents of 6 containers in a single journey





Use your radar to detect them (see image) and the winch to pull them up










Steady as you Go

Navigate the underwater caves near the waterfall without bumping into them



Some people say this is the hardest achievement in the game, but do it slowly. Do excessive use of zoom out to anticipate the landscape, and for sure you are gonna to get it.
You can reload at any point and this counts towards the achievement.



At a Rate of Knots

Complete the journey in less than 210 minutes



For sure this is not going to be your first achievement. Try to start a new game and beat it as quickly as you can. You have 3 hours and 30 minutes. This is best done on a new playthrough as you will be more familiar with the game's puzzles as well as the overall mechanics. Be Quick!


Aboard the Ship Achievements
Ship ahoy. In this section you can find the on board the ship related achievements. Their total number here is 5 achievements.



King of the World!

Stand at the prow of the vessel while travelling at full speed



As in the previous game release FAR: Lone Sails, where the "My Heart will go on" achievement is an obvious reference to the movie Titanic. They did it again here.



Check that the engine is at full speed and that the sails are at maximum. If so, stand as you can see in the image and the achievement will appear.














Fire Warden

Douse the engine to keep it cooled





Cultivating

Plant the flower in the vessel









This is the flower pot, you can unlock it after you get the All Patched Up achievement





If you have used the plant to obtain the Going Green achievement and you don't load again, don't worry you still have another oportunity to obtain this prior to obtain the All Patched Up achievement, there is a room where you can get the flower:




















I'm rooting for You!

Please, water the flower



Secret Achievement


Beauty in Disaster

Tamagotchi time!!!, Grow the flower to its full potential



To achieve this kept the sunroof open (most of the time) and water the plant every time you left the ship and came back. The plant grew a bit every time. Achievement popped for me right after the large crane, where you haul a long square tube out of the way of the ship. This is shortly after the lightning storm that you need to dive for (which is right after getting the boost module).



If you give love to your plant you should come to this


















Secret Achievement

for changing tides is definitely the best I've seen in the last two years, the last time I was so moved by the game far alone sail.
Excellent graphics, an interesting visual component, fascinating but uncomplicated mechanics and a huge, difficult-to-write plot are what, in my opinion, make this story truly colorful and fascinating, and it's possible that you will need more than one month and more than one year to enter the game again after completing it, but far changing tides leaves its mark for a long time.!

Hello Lunaul. When I made the guide, my purpose was to leave clues to help you get the different achievements and understand them. That's because some players want a hint but not the spoiler. I understand your disappointment. I leave you the link to this guide where you can find what you are looking for. Guide Link

I looked up an achievement guide to find a list of buoy and salvage container locations (so I can easily find which checkpoint I need to reload). Instead I got "pay attention and you'll find them"

I got mine at the very end of the game, just in time. Sunroof was open all the time, and i watered it as often as i could. Funny thing, when i "reunited" with the ship, the plant actually grew in my absence. Maybe it has to be watered at certain time intervals?

I got "Tamagotchi time" by leaving the sunroof open, and watering the plant every time I came back to the ship from doing stuff. It unlocked right after the giant crane puzzle, where you haul the square tube out of the ship's way. Might be unlockable sooner than this point, but I don't know the exact mechanics on how the plant grows.
