Introduction
In this guide, collectibles are organized in a suggested collection order. By interacting with the collectibles in this order, you'll minimize the amount of backtracking needed to complete a chapter.

Starting a chapter from the menu will load the chapter from the beginning: there is no way to select a checkpoint within a chapter. This means, for example, you will need to play a full chapter to reach a missed collectible located at the end of a chapter. Given this, you may wish to follow this guide during your first playthrough. You can avoid spoilers for unplayed chapters by scrolling only as far as you need to in the guide.

This guide is not intended to be a walkthrough, but as a helper to ensure you're not missing things during your playthrough. To minimize spoilers, the contents of each letter is not included in the provided screen captures. Hints as to the location of each collectible are rarely provided. When they are, they will be tagged as a spoiler.

If you have already completed the game, it can be difficult to tell which specific collectibles you may have missed in a chapter. For cairns, frescos, shells, and altars, this isn't as important, because there are so few of these per chapter. For letters and Bianca's journal entries, you can view the Extras menu to see which items are missing from your collection. Then, you can refer to this guide to learn the location of a specific letter or journal entry.
Non-Collectible Achievements
The following achievements you will receive through normal gameplay:

First contact
Read a letter.
An ear to the past
Listen to a shell.
First stone
Complete a cairn.
Sussie
Echo from the past
Activate a fresco.
Back in motion
Turn an altar.
Acrobat
Complete more than 200 jumps or double jumps in one game.
Fresh air
Restore your stamina more than 50 times while climbing.
Water piper
Complete the game.

The following achievements you should receive through normal gameplay, but with added notes on how to get them:

Adventure buddies
Hug the ballast.
Restored connection
Hug the ballast 20 times.

From chapter 2, you will be able to interact/hug your ballast. You can hug the ballast repeatedly to earn the second achievement: there is no cooldown.

If your achievement gets stuck at n hugs, try closing your game and re-opening or attempt hugging after a short waiting period in a different location.

Collective climb
Stop 25 pebbles with a single echo from the ballast.

Pebbles can be frozen in place for a few seconds by using your ballast's echo on them, allowing you to climb them like regular rocks. Chapter 3 has many sections with enough pebbles to use your echo on and earn the achievement. A suggested location to perform an echo for this achievement is given just before [Shell 5].

Bogeychoco
Scare more than 10 chocos back to their burrow.

A choco is an environment creature shown in the icon. They can be scared by walking near them. Generally, you will encounter more than enough chocos in a normal playthrough to get this achievement.

Angel's carabiner
Place a piton at the top of a wall run.

A wall run occurs when, hanging alongside a wall, you swing from left to right and secure a secondary piton to travel along the wall. Wall runs are hinted at during the tutorial and chapter one by scratch marks embedded in the wall. You unlock the achievement when placing the secondary piton. You should get this during the tutorial or chapter one.

The following achievements contain spoilers for the final chapter:

A faint glimmer
Hold the ballast tight in the crater.

In chapter 6, your ballast will be cold and unable to echo far. Use your two climbing controls (e.g. left and right trigger) to squeeze your ballast.

Awakened memory
Use the echo on a frozen ballast in the crater.

In chapter 6, use your ballast's echo on one of the frozen whale-like creatures in the tundra. You cannot use your echo on the ballast that you traveled on.

guys, i can't complete the achiviement of chapter 6... my pet don't be petted
👽Shini 11 Dec, 2024 @ 3:47pm 
Sure, I just noticed you added helpful comments with spoiler censors in some of the other hard to find areas. Those were very helpful . I just thought the last altar was similar and hard to find as well.

@Shini That's not really the purpose of the guide, as I state in the introduction:

"This guide is not intended to be a walkthrough, but as a helper to ensure you're not missing things during your playthrough."

If you want to be told exactly where to go, and when, you should just watch one of the many walkthrough videos on YouTube. That would seem like an extremely boring way to approach a video game, but that's your prerogative.

maybe a note should be added on how to find the final altar area. while climbing the windy cliff, you have to swing yourself into a hidden cave, which is BELOW you. Very easy to miss, and not pointed out in this guide.

Wow, this was a really well hidden place. Not bad.

Thank you. :steamthumbsup:

@sethac You need to squeeze through the gap in the wall to the left of Letter 24 and descend down from the anchor point next to the door. The anchor point is shown in the image of Cairn 13.
sethac 7 Dec, 2024 @ 7:10am 
I am stuck with the collectibles in chapter 3. I can find absolutely no place which resembles a path between Letter 24 and Cairn 13. I just can't find it anywhere.
