How to unlock:
At the very beginning of your adventure, when you get to your habitat, interact with the onboard computer and access the K-MAIL system. Open the third message in your inbox, a cheerful welcome, with a fired notice. It’s a quick and easy achievement.

How to unlock:
The Hognork is one of the first large and aggressive creatures you’ll encounter on Stellaris Prime, specifically in the Cliffs of Abaddon region. To capture it, you’ll need to progress far enough in the story to unlock the Lasso whip, which becomes available after completing the Museum Of Life mission). Once equipped, head toward the North-East of Slarragon Forest to locate the Hognork.

Engage the Hognork and scan it first to reveal its weak spot, a glowing area between its tusks. When the creature roars, land two precise shots on the weak point to stagger it... This is your moment to use your lasso whip and secure the capture. It may take a couple of tries, but once it’s bagged, the achievement is yours.

How to unlock:
Wormzilla is a far more major boss than the Hognork. You’ll face it twice during your time on the desert planet Xephyr.

The first encounter with Wormzilla in Sandspine Ridge region consists of a single phase, where it attacks using fire and projectile strikes. To defeat it, simply slap three projectiles back at Wormzilla.

During the second encounter, deep in the Great Oasis, the battle unfolds across three phases:

• Phase 1: Use your Ferro Goo tank to draw a conductive path from nearby electric mushrooms toward Wormzilla. When it steps into the electrified trail, it gets stunned, triggering the next phase.
  
• Phase 2: Wormzilla swallows you whole (yes, really). Inside its cavernous gut, equip your Magnetic Fork and hurl metallic crystals at its exposed tonsils to weaken it from within.
  
• Phase 3: After three solid hits, you’ll be spat out into an open arena. Now it’s time to finish the job. Use your Magnetic Fork to launch crystal pillars into Wormzilla’s mouth when it roars. Land the final blow to unlock the achievement.

How to unlock:
Clawbarella is the second major boss in the game, found deep within the Depths of Trrn on the planet Zenithian Rift. To reach her, you’ll need to progress through the main story and unlock the Toxic Deshocker suit upgrade, which allows you to survive in poison gas zones.

Once inside her lair, the fight unfolds in three escalating phases:

• Phase 1: Target the glowing weak spots on her chest.
  
• Phase 2: Use your stomp ability to crack the shells on her claws, then shoot the exposed lights.
  
• Phase 3: Extinguish flames on her claws with your water gun, then repeat the shell-breaking and shooting process, while dodging fire attacks that now spread across the arena.

Tip: There are two health flowers on the platform, use them wisely. After defeating Clawbarella, follow the path behind her to unlock the Franx Underwater Scooter for your drone.

How to unlock:
The Cyber Wardrill is a late-game boss located in the Shrine of Challenge on Quasadron IX (Summit). This is the final shrine encounter.

To access this shrine, you must first complete the quest Fine, I'll Do It. This quest is unlocked after acquiring the Remote Drone Controller. This quest initiates the sequence that powers up the shrine’s gateway and activates the cybernetic security protocols guarding the summit.

How to unlock:
Scattered across the world are special Alta Coupon Crates that reward you with Alta Bucks when opened. To unlock this achievement, you’ll need to locate and open 25 of these crates. While many can be spotted on Stellaris Prime, that planet alone likely won’t be enough. You’ll naturally complete this achievement as you explore Xephyr planet... But not complicated, they are everywhere.

Some crates may only become accessible after acquiring gear like the Pressure Hose or Magnetic Fork.

Note: If you're playing in co-op, make sure both players take turns opening crates, progress may only count for the one who opens them!

How to unlock:
Throughout your journey, you’ll unlock various tools and suit upgrades that enhance your mobility, combat, and exploration abilities. To earn this achievement, you need to acquire at least 50% of all available upgrades (33 upgrades, Javelin research doesn't seems to count).

You can track your upgrade progress from the 3D Printer on your Habitat PC. Focus on completing side quests, collecting resources, and scanning new flora and fauna to unlock crafting options.

I personally unlocked this achievement after obtaining the Survey Range Booster upgrade, while exploring Xephyr. It happened while I was continuing to explore, shortly after unlocking the Goo Ingestor.

How to unlock:
To earn this achievement, you must purchase every single upgrade available at the 3D Printer (Except the Javelin).

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Collect all 42 Printer Slurries hidden across the four main planets.
  
• Farm large amounts of Carbon, Silicon, and Aluminium. You’ll need over 66,000 units total.
  
• Unlock late-game tools (Remote Drone to control Eko has to be unlocked) to access all Slurry locations.
  
• Craft every upgrade listed in the 3D Printer menu.

How to unlock:
To earn this achievement, you must collect all 103 Orange Goo Balls scattered across the four main planets. These glowing orbs permanently increase your health and stamina, making them essential for survival.

Goo icons begin appearing on the map once you unlock the Planet Scanner Upgrade. Some Goo deposits are locked behind traversal challenges and require a full set of gear upgrades, including the Remote Drone Controller for EKO.

Tip: If a Goo icon has a padlock symbol, it means you're missing the required gear.

How to unlock:
Shortly after gaining access to your Habitat in Nu Florida, head outside and explore the swampy area just south of your base. Keep an eye out for a downed ship, the Lost Javelin, nestled among the terrain. Once you locate and scan it, the achievement will pop.

How to unlock:
To earn this achievement, you need to perform a continuous knee slide for at least 40 meters. The easiest spot to do this is in the upper-left section of Slarragon Forest, you will find a lot of slippery trail. Sprint toward the puddle at the topmost level, then initiate a knee slide and ride the slick path all the way down.

How to unlock:
To earn this achievement, you must jump from a height of over 50 meters and land in water,executing a proper dive bomb. It’s a stylish (and slightly reckless) way to make a splash.

Best location:
Head to Xephyr – Cactus Valley. From the teleporter, climb toward G’nortt’s High Rise using the Magnetic Fork to extend metallic platforms. Once you reach the top, look for a ledge overlooking a deep pool far below. Then, simply sprint and jump off the ledge, and press the dive bomb button when prompted. The achievement will be unlocked when you land into the water.

How to unlock:
On Zephyr, you’ll come across Alta Employee Cry-o-Pods, suspiciously abandoned stasis chambers scattered across the planet. To unlock this achievement, you must find and scan all five “Toxic” Employee Cry-o-Pods.

These pods are often hidden in remote or puzzle-locked areas, and some require specific traversal upgrades (like the Lava Extractor or Underwater Scooter) to reach. You’ll encounter them during the “Best Served Cold” side mission, which becomes available after progressing through Xephyr.

Tip: Use your scanner liberally and explore off the beaten path, especially in areas like Cactus Valley, Caves of Miranyth, and G’nortt’s High Rise. Scanning all five will also contribute to other lore-based achievements.

How to unlock:
These glowing terminals hold corrupted corporate logs left behind by Alta InterGlobal. To unlock the achievement, you’ll need to find and scan all five data terminals using your Kindred Scanner.

All five are located on the Zenithian Rift Planet, two in the Peaks and three in the Depths. The last two are underwater, so you'll need to defeat the Clawbarella boss to unlock the ability to swim.

How to unlock:
This achievement is unlocked by locating the infamous Alta Trash Mountain, a massive garbage heap tucked away on the fourth planet, Quasadron IX. From the Crash Site, head toward the northeast region of the map, where you'll find a teleporter on the Trash Mountain zone.

Once there, climb to the summit and leap across the massive central pile of junk. The moment you land on it, the achievement will trigger.

Note: Before leaving, it's recommended to complete the quest Best Served Cold. You'll find three compacted trash blocks marked with the Alta logo. Two perched atop towering heaps of garbage, and one nestled in the center.

How to unlock:
Brainards are small mushroom-like creatures you'll encounter in several regions, starting from the very beginning of the game. To earn this achievement, use your melee kick to launch one into a nearby wall or cliff. If the impact kills the creature, you'll unlock the achievement.

How to unlock:
To earn this achievement, you need to jump and melee a flying enemy mid-air. The easiest way is to use your punch while near a flying creature like a Slitherfly.

These enemies are commonly found on Stellaris Prime and Xephyr. There is some Slitherfly near Slarragon Forest location.

How to unlock:
To earn this achievement, you must kill three creatures in a single knee slide.
This one’s easy to pull off by luring a group of Raccocco to the same spot using Bait. Simply drop a few bait items in the center of their patrol area, and once they’ve gathered around it, sprint toward them and initiate a knee slide.

There are great spots for this in the Slarragon Forest region on Stellaris Prime.

How to unlock:
This achievement tests your mastery of movement mechanics. To unlock it, you must perform the following combo in one smooth, uninterrupted sequence:

• Sprint
  
• Knee Slide
  
• Jump
  
• Grapple
  
• Jump again at the peak of the grapple (Grapple Boost)

You’ll need to have unlocked the Boosted Slide Jump and Boosted Tether Jump upgrades. A great spot to attempt this is in the Cactus Valley region of Zephyr (see screenshot). Use the open, flat terrain to build momentum with a slide, then chain into a boosted jump and finish with a grapple toward the anchor point.

How to unlock:
To earn this achievement, you must launch an Arffalo into the air using a bounce seed. Arffalos are large, stubborn creatures found on Quasadron IX. You can find a pair roaming the eastern edge of the Crash Site zone.

Here’s how to do it:

• Locate an Arffalo grazing in the eastern area of the Crash Site.
  
• Throw a bounce seed (gelatinous blob) onto the ground between you and the creature.
  
• Shoot the Arffalo to provoke it, it will charge at you.
  
• Lure it over the bounce seed.
  
• If timed correctly, the Arffalo will hit the seed and be launched skyward, unlocking the achievement.

How to unlock:
Challenge Groups are sets of objectives designed to test your skills in combat, traversal, and puzzle-solving. You’ll unlock the first Challenge Group "UPGRADE-O-RAMA: Casual Consultant Level" after building your Creature Pen and analyzing / disassembling a creature. Once all four objectives are fulfilled and you return to your habitat, you will earn the achievement.

Three of the four objectives are fairly trivial to complete. The only one that might be a little bit more complicated is “High Dive Hero,”. For this one, there’s an ideal spot for it in the Slarragon Forest region (see screenshot/video reference).

When you complete the first Upgrade-O-Rama challenge set on Stellaris Prime, you’ll unlock the “For the Challenge!” achievement.
This marks the beginning of a larger progression. To earn “For Moar Challenge!” achievement, you’ll need to complete three additional Upgrade-O-Rama sets enabled after you visit Xephyr, Zenithian Rift, and Quasadron.

Each set is tied to a specific biome and unlocks powerful upgrades and traversal abilities, making them well worth prioritizing. I highly recommend tackling these challenges as soon as possible, than they dramatically improve mobility, combat efficiency, and puzzle-solving options across the game.

How to unlock:
Shrines are mysterious alien structures scattered across the planets. To unlock this achievement, you simply need to enter your first Shrine. These locations often contain puzzles, environmental, and/or combat challenges, and are usually marked by glowing architecture or unusual terrain.

You’ll likely come across your first Shrine naturally while exploring the Cactus Valley region of Xephyr. If you follow the cannonball achievement, the entrance is located just before the extending metallic platforms that lead up to G’nortt’s High Rise region.

Just break the entrance with your Magnetic Fork and step inside. The achievement will pop as soon as you cross the threshold.

How to unlock:
To earn this achievement, you must complete all five Shrines scattered across the game’s planets. Each Shrine contains a unique challenge, ranging from puzzles to combat trials and rewards you with a Pentaforce piece upon completion.

If you follow this guide, four of the five shrines are detailed in the Shrine Challenges section. The final one, the Shrine of Challenge, is covered under the Story Achievement section, in the Cyber Corruption achievement.

Once you’ve collected all five Pentaforce pieces, return to your Habitat and access the Research Terminal. Reassembling the Pentaforce will unlock the achievement.

Later in the game, you’ll gain access to the Creature Pen in front of your Habitat. To unlock this achievement, you must first capture a creature with your Lasso (his happens naturally with the Museum Of Life mission). Once the creature is safely stored in the pen, interact with it and give it a little affection by petting it! The achievement will unlock after this wholesome moment.
