Some things to note:

• Remember that there are some [Missable] achievements which were marked as such.
  
• You can use anything in the 'Assist Mode' options, it won't prevent you from gaining any achievements.
  
• Remember that just touching the gate is enough for some of these.
  
• Unlocking the dash (Agile Blessing) would be helpful for some of these by completing all bonus chapters.
  
• I started this guide first only for the 'No Choice' Achievement, but after a while I decided to do it for all of them instead.
  
• If there are any problems with the guide be sure to let me know.

These are the achievements you get naturally as you play and those that you have to complete something in the story.

Rough Beginning - Nobody said this journey was going to be easy.

At the very start of the game, before you even reach the Evergate, just simply walk off the ledge on the left and die. [Missable]

___________________________________
Child-like Soul - The Grovekeeper can tell you're easily entertained...

You can do this any time you see the Grovekeeper, but the earliest you can do it is at the very start when he gives you the soulflame ability, just jump around him a bunch of times until the achievement pops. This is technically missable as the you need the Grovekeeper to be here (obviously), and he's only present at certain points of the game. [Missable]

___________________________________
Jade Trophy - Reach all Gates consecutively in any China book without dying. Resetting is allowed.
Do what it says on the tin.

___________________________________
Frost Trophy - Reach all Gates consecutively in any Alaska book without dying. Resetting is allowed.
Easy to do if you activate the invincibility assist.

___________________________________
Iron Trophy - Reach all Gates consecutively in any England book without dying. Resetting is allowed.
Easy to do if you activate the invincibility assist.

___________________________________
Neon Trophy - Reach all Gates consecutively in any New York book without dying. Resetting is allowed.
Easy to do if you activate the invincibility assist.

___________________________________
Guardian - Protect the Kindlewheat from the nightmares.

You get it after world 9, after defeating the crow boss. [Not Missable]


___________________________________
Fallen Guardian - That's embarrassing... You've died after protecting the Kindlewheat.

In the library, when you fall into a boss battle against a crow after completing world 9, after you defeat it, make sure you die before you collect the Kindlewheat. This is missable since you can't come back here. [Missable]

___________________________________
Remember - Experience all memory moments to their completion.
As you play the game you'll get 2 per world I think, just make sure to not skip it.


___________________________________
Hesitant - Connect to me with your Soulflame. What are you waiting for?

In the last level, World 11, level 6, I waited a minute doing nothing and then charged and uncharged and used the soul flame on random walls and stuff for another, then at the 2 minute mark I used it on him. I'm guessing between a minute and 2 of waiting should be enough.

___________________________________
Kindred Ignition - Your kindred spirit does not appreciate being set on fire.

World 11, level 6, you need to go through that level with an artifact that burns, for example the 'Dragon Head' or 'Bionic Leg' artifact, then at the end when you connect with him you'll get the achievement.



You get these at the end.
You could do all of these at the same time if you wanted, it's possible.

Reborn - Complete your journey and begin life anew by entering the Evergate.
Finish the game. [Not Missable]


___________________________________
Speedy Wisp - Beat the game in under 2 hours.
You know what to do. You can activate speedrun mode to have a visual timer inside levels as you play, changing game speed in the 'Assist Mode' options doesn't affect this timer so don't bother.

___________________________________
In a Rush - Beat the game in under 1 hour.
Be one fast soul. You can activate speedrun mode to have a visual timer inside levels as you play, changing game speed in the 'Assist Mode' options doesn't affect this timer so don't bother.

___________________________________
Flawless Victory - Beat the entire game with no deaths. Resetting is allowed.
Turn on invincibility and don't fall for an easier time getting this.


___________________________________
Quickfire - Beat the game only using instant fire.
Go to options and turn on the 'Instant Fire' setting, now everytime you click it will fire immediately. Make sure you don't aim at all or you'll have to restart the run. Remember that you can use the 'Assist Mode' options to help you here.

___________________________________
Purist - Complete all books without using artifacts.
What it says on the tin. You'll get it after completing world 10.

These are the achievements that aren't that difficult.

Inquisitive - Talk to all the Seekers about their past.

You can do this at the start just talk to all the seekers on the left and right of the Evergate, if you're at the end of the game you'll need a new save to do this.

___________________________________
Procrastinating - Quit bouncing back and forth, reincarnation awaits!

Fairly straight forward, just keep launching yourself back and forth until you get it on the launch pads in the library.

___________________________________
Apprentice - Acquire your first artifact.

Nothing to explain needed, just play the game, get 3 essences, and unlock the artifact.

___________________________________
Oops! - You already beat the level! What went wrong?

Die in a previously completed level multiple times.

___________________________________
Centennial Spirit - Ki has died and reformed from the Source 100 times.

Just die, that's it.

___________________________________
Rock Solid - Make the largest platform possible.

You'll have to equip the 'Stone Egg' artifact which is the first one you obtain in world 2, then the simplest (and really only from everywhere I looked) way to do this would be in World 3 in either level 2 or 3.

• For level 2 you can just line the 3 rock crystals up, right off the start and you'll get it.
  
  
• For level 3 you'll have to activate the initial dragon and not get on it, then just wait until it starts coming down and you can walk off and line up 3 (or potentially 4) rock crystals. This one does require a bit more timing though.
  

___________________________________
Frugal Escape - Beat Gate 5 of Falling Sky using six crystals or fewer.
You can just use the 'Forgotten Memory' artifact which is the first one you obtain in world 10, then you can just complete the level normally, the crystal count will remain 0 and you'll get the achievement.

___________________________________
No Crystal, No Problem - Reach any 10 Gates without breaking a crystal.
Just use the 'Forgotten Memory' artifact, with it the crystal counter will remain at 0 unless you activate one of the crystals twice.

___________________________________
Just One Shot - Reach any Gate using the soul flame only once.

I don't remember where I unlocked this but you can easily do this in the very first level in world 1 by using the 'Skyward Thistle' artifact which is the 2nd artifact from world 2. Heck, you can even complete this level with it without even using the soulflame not even once, and still make it in time for the time essence as i just did while testing, got in with 0.68.

___________________________________
Reaching Sky High - Launch yourself as high as possible on Gate 3 of the Secret Garden.

Fairly easy to do, you can equip the 'Lucky Frog' artifact, which is the first one you get, and launch yourself up, the first line up is easy to do since they are already lined up, then continue right until you can boost yourself again off the bottom left corner boost crystal which will put you in a good area to line up the top and bottom right ones which should be enough to get the achievement.


___________________________________
Double Duty - Earn the crystal complete essence on any level using the Forgotten Memory artifact.

First get that artifact (it's the first one on world 10) then simply complete any level with it equipped and with the crystal essence gotten as well, I'd recommend the first level, after all it's straightforward and there shouldn't be any issues getting all the crystals used.

___________________________________
Equipment Expert - Demonstrate your excellence with each artifact.

Just win a level at least once with each artifact, you only need to touch the gate, not go through, so get an easy level like World 4, level 1 and do it with all artifacts, keep in mind the achievement might take a bit to update, and you may need to go back to the library and go into a level again. Or wait until it updates.

___________________________________
Perfect Storm - Beat the Storm book without dying.

As the description implies, just do that, for me I did it using the 'Storm Heart' artifact, that way I didn't have to worry about aiming anything.

___________________________________
Librarian - Acquire one artifact from each book.

Very straightforward you probably won't miss this.

___________________________________
Down with the Man - Destroy one drone with another.

The only place you can do this in is in world 9, level 7. Just stand on top of the drone in the floor and use the teleport crystal just as the drone above is about to shoot you.


___________________________________
Hang in There - Spend 20 continuous seconds in the air.

The way I did this one is I just spammed left click on an upward launch pad in the library, but you could also just equip the 'Crow's Feather' artifact, which is the third one from world 2, then in the first level of world 2 there's an earth crystal right at the start you can use to create a boost platform. Just spam click until you get the achievement. Using an autoclicker here would make it easier too.

For the achievements that are a bit more difficult to get.

Ride On! - Land on a caribou's back. They can be a bit shy though.

I'm not sure how to explain this well enough but basically on world 5, level 3, you can use the 'Charger Pack' artifact to quickly get to the caribou platform and make it turn into mist then when it starts becoming mist by having you crossed the left most leg, simply go back a bit then forwards again until the middle of the patch and wait until the caribou materialises within the next few seconds, then if you jump or move you'll see that it's not turning into mist, so just go near the left most leg again and jump on its back, just touching its butt for a few seconds works too.
Make sure to not go back too far or when you come in to remain under it or it won't materialise.

___________________________________
Fated Descent - Acquire crystal essence in Gate 7 of Underlands before void breaks any crystals.

I did this one accidentally, I don't think the artifact choice matters but I used 'Storm Heart'.
I chose to use the first hole + extra jumps. I went down the left side taking as many jumps as I could before activating the fire crystal and using it to quickly get down. If you do it fast enough you should be able to get it, my time was 17 seconds so it'll be around that. I included images showing my route.








___________________________________
Stone Wall Shortcut - Hop over the center pillar for a shortcut to Gate 7 of the Darkwoods.

The way I did this was using the 'Forgotten Memory' artifact. I just went up using the boost crystals, and if I needed an area to stop at, I used the rock crystals.
You'll have to be careful with the birds though if you're not using invincibility.




___________________________________
First Snowfall - Beat Gate 6 of The Blizzard before the first snowfall ends.

Easiest way to do this is using the 'Storm Heart' artifact, you can get it as the 3rd artifact of world 10, with it equipped, just use the bottom teleport crystal towards the top ice platform on the left (If you do it on the right side of that platform you can quickly get up on it), jump up on top of it to crumble it, then quickly use the teleport crystal there to get to the top and to the gate just as the snowfall is starting to kick in.

Alternatively you can use one of the boost crystals to break the top ice platform, then use the teleport crystal to teleport to the rock platform under the gate, then quickly go to the teleport crystal there and teleport up and get to the gate.




___________________________________
Perfectionist - Collect all essences in one attempt in 10 Gates.

If short on time for the time essence you can just use the 'Moonbound Torch' artifact, which is the 2nd one from world 4, or you can try to focus more on getting to the gate, as long as you touch it before time runs out then you get the essence, then afterwords you can go get the rest (assuming it's near) and then finish the level. An example of the levels you can do this in is:

• World 1, level 1
  
• World 1, level 2
  
• World 1, level 3 using the 'Moonbound Torch' artifact.
  
• World 1, level 4 using the 'Skyward Thistle' artifact.
  
• World 1, level 5 using the 'Charger Pack' artifact for the double jump. (Focus on getting to the gate first then getting everything else)
  
• World 1, level 6 using the 'Charger Pack' artifact for the double jump. (Focus on getting to the gate first then getting everything else)
  
• World 1, level 7 using the 'Charger Pack' artifact for the double jump. (Focus on getting to the gate first then getting everything else)
  
• World 2, level 1 using the 'Charger Pack' artifact for the double jump. (Focus on getting to the gate first then getting everything else)
  
• World 2, level 2 using either the 'Charger Pack' or the 'Moonbound Torch' artifacts for the double jump or a less tight timer.
  
• World 2, level 3 using the 'Charger Pack' artifact for the double jump. (Focus on getting to the gate first then getting everything else, you'll also have to then afterwords be sure to activate the rock crystal at the top in a good place so you can return to the gate after getting everything)

___________________________________
Falling with Style - Reach any 5 Gates without touching the ground.

An example of where you can do this is in world 1, levels 1-5 can all be done without touching the ground using the 'Flyspring Lotus' artifact which is the 3rd one from world 1.

___________________________________
Energized - Have 5 jump cell charges at once.

You can do this in world 10 'Underlands', either in level 3 or 7.

For the achievements that are much more difficult to get.

Grounded - Reach any 5 Gates without jumping.

An example of where you can do this are:

• World 3, level 6 - Using the 'Volatile Candle', you can just use the fire crystals to rocket your way up and onto the gate, the order is shown in the image too but it's the right fire crystal at the start, then the left fire crystal from there, then you'll be high enough to aim down and activate the fire crystal that's near a boost crystal which should put you on top of the rock area at the top, before you land aim to line up the fire crystal near there at the top, and that should be enough to rocket you to the gate.
  
  
• World 4, level 1 - No need to use artifacts, just do all the teleport crystals to make a direct path to the gate.
  
  
• World 4, level 3 - Using the 'Storm Heart' artifact, walk off from the start and use the teleport + rock crystal combo to teleport to the gate by aiming above the ice platform to the rock ceiling and still have a platform to stand on.
  
  
• World 4, level 4 - Using the 'Storm Heart' artifact, teleport under the gate then use the crystal there to teleport with the soul box at the top, then go left and use the boost crystal to put you on the gate.
  
  
• World 4, level 5 - Using the 'Storm Heart' artifact, use the teleport crystal near the start to teleport to above the 2nd teleport crystal to the left, then as you fall down, you'll have to use that crystal to teleport to the platform on the right, it's a tight window so you have to be precise, or spam Q, then from there just do the teleport boost crystal combo to get to the gate.
  

___________________________________
Innocent Explorer - Reach the 10 blue flowers.

They are located in:

• World 1, level 1 - The artifacts you can use to reach this are the 'Charger Pack', 'Bionic Leg', 'Flyspring Lotus' and the 'Willow Leaf'.
  
  
• World 2, level 1 - You don't need any artifacts to reach here as you can just use 2 rock crystals, but some you can use to speed it up are the 'Charger Pack', 'Forgotten Memory', 'Bottled Light', 'Crow's Feather', and the 'Skyward Thistle'.
  
  
• World 5, level 1 - You don't technically need any artifacts as you can just play the level normally and get here from the gate, or alternatively you can get here at the very start just by using the boost crystal with a good timing, but some artifacts you can use to reach here faster are the the 'Charger Pack', 'Bionic Leg', 'Skyward Thistle' (sort of, it allows you to have an easier time getting a good line to boost yourself onto the edge to jump again), 'Flyspring Lotus', and the 'Lucky Frog'.
  
  
• World 6, level 1 - You once again don't technically need any artifacts as long as you have a nice void placement, but some artifacts you can use to get here faster are the 'Bionic Leg', 'Forgotten Memory', and the 'Skyward Thistle'.
  
  
• World 7, level 5 - You don't need artifacts to get here, just play the level normally and then use the 3 rocket crystals to go to the flower instead of the gate, but the artifacts you can use to reach this much more easily are the 'Storm Heart', 'Forgotten Memories' (allows the level to be more forgiving if the ball goes the wrong way), 'Charger Pack', 'Fierce Boot' and 'Ironcage Lamp' allow you to more easily get there without needing the ball, and the 'Skyward Thistle'.
  
  
• World 8, level 1 - The artifacts you can use to reach this are the 'Bionic leg' (You need to get to the bottom middle platform area quickly, then before you land line up the 2 pull crystals above which should be in a diagonal to you which will pull you closer and grant you another jump, then for the last move just burn the soul box below you for an extra jump to get you there), and the 'Charger Pack' by just using the 2 right most pull crystals at the very start (use the first one to get above, then double jump onto the big platform on the left, then jump to the right again using the rightmost pull crystal to pull yourself on top of the soul box, then just double jump onto the flower platform on the left).
  
  
• World 8, level 4 - You don't need any artifact to get here, you can just use the 3 pull crystals, use the first one to break the box and get in position, then line up the double pull crystal and use the jump to get on top of the first wall, then from there just jump to the flower (You can also just hug the right side of the first wall on the side of the double pull crystal to then get another jump to get on top of it), but some artifacts you can use to speed it up are the 'Storm Heart' for easier time lining up a better trajectory, 'Charger Pack' for double jump, and the 'Skyward Thistle' for easier jumps.
  
  
• World 9, level 1 - The artifacts you can use to get here are the 'Storm Heart' to be able to get a third jump crystal activated, 'Bionic Leg' for a third jump by burning a soul box at the end, 'Forgotten Memory', 'Charger Pack' for you to use a double jump at the start before any jump crystals, and the 'Skyward Thistle'.
  
  
• World 9, level 3 - You don't need any artifacts at all to get here since you can just activate invincibility or get enough jumps to get there from the right, but some that can make you get here faster are the 'Forgotten Memory' to make getting lots of jumps easier, and the 'Skyward Thistle'.
  
  
• World 10, level 2 - You don't need any artifacts, just walk off from the left and use the jump at the correct time, but some artifacts to make it easier are the 'Charger Pack' for a bit more confidence or if you want to jump from the start to get a better position, and the 'Skyward Thistle' for a bigger jump.
  

___________________________________
Agile Blessing - Acquire the Spirit Dash.

You can do this by completing all 9 bonus levels, you can get bonus levels the more essences you get and I think you may need all essences to unlock all of them.
You can access these bonus levels using the platform with statues on the right side of the Evergate in the library.

Don't Blink - Reach 5 Gates in under 4 seconds.

An example of some places where you can do this are:

• World 3, level 1 - Using the 'Volatile Candle' artifact, use the fire crystal at the start to fly to the gate. Quite an easy one compared to the rest.
  
  
• World 4, level 3 - Using the 'Storm Heart' artifact either on the ice platform or on the ice ceiling just before it.
  
  
• World 4, level 5 - Using the 'Storm Heart' artifact, this one needs a lot of precision and the dash unlocked from doing all the bonus levels, I used a dash at the very start to quickly get to the teleport crystal to go up, then I quickly went to the right to hopefully immediately teleport and boost correctly (this is where you'll need a lot of precision) when I did it correctly I then immediately dashed to the gate, remember you'll also still have the jump if you don't quite get there.
  
  
• World 4, level 6 - Using the 'Storm Heart' artifact, do a little jump off the start to quickly use the teleport crystal towards the gate, then quickly crumble the ice platform there to then use the 2nd teleport crystal to go up and then quickly to the gate. If needed and you have it, use the dash at the end, you just need to touch the gate.
  
  
• World 7, level 2 - Using the 'Storm Heart' artifact, you have to be fast off the start, immediately jump as soon as you spawn so you don't even land, then quickly use the bottom boost crystal and the boost crystal on the left side and go to the gate, you can also use dash if you unlocked it.
  
  
• World 8, level 1 - Using the 'Bionic Leg' artifact, use the pull crystal to go up and to the left then jump and use the last pull crystal at the top to pull you high enough to allow your last jump to get there.
  

___________________________________
Determined Athlete - Reach 20 Gates in under 7 seconds.

An example of where you can do this (besides the levels in Don't Blink) are:

• World 1, level 1 - Using the 'Dragon Head' artifact, just go forwards and use the boost crystal then in the air use the boost crystal behind you at the start, after that use the rightmost crystal of the 3 boost crystals which should carry you close enough to the platform where you can dash towards the gate.
  
  
• World 1, level 2 - Using the 'Dragon Head' artifact, go up using the first crystal then get in position, jump and use the boost crystal behind which should nearly take you there, enough that you could dash from there, but if you need an extra push or don't have dash, then you can use the boost crystal at the bottom to the left (not the one nearest the gate).
  
  
• World 1, level 4 - Using the 'Flyspring Lotus' artifact, use the first boost crystal and extra jump to get the to platform above, then jump and aim to the bottom right hopefully lining up a boost crystal which should spring you to the gate in time.
  
  
• World 1, level 5 - Using the 'Flyspring Lotus' artifact, for this level you'll need to use quite a few dashes and good precision too. Use one right at the start, then jump and use the boost crystal, do another jump which will hopefully make you able to line up with the boost crystal above the soul box, use it, then jump to the right and use the boost crystal at the bottom before jumping again and using the one near the wall on the left, dash to the gate after that for good measure. You can also just use the dash after the 2nd boost crystal which will make you have to use the boost crystal above the tree and then the wall one after that, so it's similar.
  
  
• World 1, level 7 - Using the 'Flyspring Lotus' artifact, use the boost crystal at the start and your jumps to get to the middle, then you should be able to use the left plant and boost crystal set to send you high enough for you to use the plant and boost crystal on the very right to send you to the gate. Use dashes if needed.
  
  
• World 2, level 1 - Using the 'Charger Pack' or 'Skyward Thistle' is an easy one, just jump over the pillar on the left, I also tried to get this under 4 seconds but could only get 5 at best.
  
  
• World 2, level 2 - Using the 'Dragon Head' artifact, burn the soul box at the start and fall down and land on the tree leaves, then from there jump to the gate.
  
  
• World 3, level 2 - Using the 'Dragon Head' artifact, burn the soul box above the boost crystal, then use it to quickly go to the platform on the left and hurry towards the gate, make sure to burn the soul box in front of the gate so you can get through.
  
  
• World 4, level 1 - No artifacts needed, just quickly use all the teleport crystals to make a direct path there, if you're fast enough on using the crystals you could potentially get 4 seconds here.
  
  
• World 4, level 2 - Using the 'Storm Heart' artifact and invincibility, quickly go to the left and use the leftmost teleport crystal to go up, then quickly use the teleport crystal on the platform to teleport yourself above the gate, using dashes will be faster and won't make you need to use invincibility.
  
  
• World 4, level 4 - Using the 'Storm Heart' artifact, use one of the starting teleport crystal to teleport you under the gate, then use the boost crystals to get to the gate.
  
  
• World 4, level 7 - Using the 'Volatile Candle' artifact, use 2 boost crystals to go up high and then use the fire crystal to rocket your way to the gate.
  
  
• World 6, level 2 - Using the 'Dragon head' artifact, go to the right and use the void crystal in the corner mid air and burn the soul box, then propel yourself out of the void and rush to the gate.
  
  
• World 6, level 3 - Using the 'Bottled Light' artifact, do a big jump to the left and use your soulflame on the white source on the right to create a void, get in position to use the leftmost void crystal as that one is the only one you can activate from that position, if you correctly placed these 2 voids then you should be able to get to the gate from the left.
  
  
• World 6, level 4 - Using the 'Storm Heart' artifact, dash or jump to the left and activate the teleport void crystal combo, then jump over to the left and get to the teleport crystal so you can use it to teleport to the left side of the gate and quickly rush to it.

I put it in its own section because of the origins of this guide and also because I didn't have space in the 'Challenge' section.

No Choice - Beat Gate 1 of Underlands using only boost crystals and no artifacts.

First if you have an artifact equipped, make sure to unequip it by deselecting it in the artifacts menu, then proceed with the steps:

• Step 1 - Turn all the bubbles into the orange boost crystals by selecting it in the bottom left then blow up the top most box using the bottom left boost crystal.
  
  
  
• Step 2 - Do a high jump onto the left rock platform and another onto the box to the right, then from the right most corner of the box do a high jump to get to the top most boost crystal and then aim towards the bottom right corner, you have to line those 2 boost crystals like that which will boost you upwards with enough momentum to reach the gate.
  
  
  
• Step 3 - You're done.
  

For the achievements that are around collecting things.

Essence of Flora - Acquire all the petal essences.

Nothing to say. You can do it.

___________________________________
Essence of Crystal - Acquire all crystal essences.

Nothing to say. You can do it.

___________________________________
Essence of Moon - Acquire all the time essences.

Nothing to say. You can do it.

___________________________________
Master Collector - Aquire all artifacts.

You just have to get every single essence, from all the levels. The way I did it was trying to get the petal + crystal essences at the same time and then after I completed a world, I went back and did all the levels but this time for the time essences.

That's about it, I hope this guide was useful.
