Preface
This guide lists all of the achievements in The Wild at Heart and how to unlock them. There are no story spoilers in this guide. Any maps shown are to help locate and retrieve the building upgrades, but will not spoil anything about the story, characters, or building functions.

The game can be 100% completed in a single playthrough, even after finishing the story, so you can pick up where you left off to get any achievements you might have missed.

@Sherpa thanks for the suggestion. Technically, there are multiple ways to get to the iron cauldron. The easiest method is with Kirby and sending her through the log shown on the left side of the photo - no emberlings required. If you go through Wispwagon, then yes, you'll need emberlings to safely travel through there. There's also the ivy that you can climb to the upper level, also shown on the left side of the photo (just out of frame), but you'd want to destroy the mushrooms first. So depending on the route the player takes, they may or may not need emberlings specifically, though I always found it useful to bring them along regardless, even if just a few.

Small suggestion as I'm using this during my playthrough. The iron Carlson you don't list any special spritelings but you're really not going to be able to get to it without emberlings in the previous area. Might be worth adding for clarification

If you're missing the last Heartroot Resin for the final upgrade, trade three Elden Pears to the Rubbish man.
