Thanks for stopping by my Guide! I am an avid achievement hunter on steam and looking to make more guides for different games in the future.

(the) Gnorp Apologue is one of those Idler/Clicker Games that is possible to 100% in various methods. The information I post on this guide is simply retrieved as being "the most popular" way in 100%-ing the game. Do with that information as you will and if you like to challenge yourself then feel free to create builds and methods that work outside of this guide and post it below.

Before diving in I just want to credit a couple of different sources for aiding in my information compilation of this guide:

• Walkthrough to Beat The Game by Saint Nic
  
• Gnorp 10 by Skeleton Mage
  
• True Steam Achievements[truesteamachievements.com]
  
• Gnorp Wiki[gnorp.wiki.gg]

Here's a Legend used to distinguish your Damage and Collection!


Best of luck and happy achievement hunting!

---

To unlock this achievement, simply purchase your first "Build Housing" Upgrade after hovering over "The Stash" Building and the achievement will unlock.

---

You will notice on the bottom of the screen, just underneath the shard pile, there is a progress bar of sorts called Compression.


Whoopsie, lets zoom in a little closer there.


Perfect. So a Compression event in essence occurs when you have a large enough quantity of rock shards to the point where the rock "re-absorbs" them when the pile becomes too large/tall. In order to have a Compression event occur, you simply need to harvest more than you collect (Which means beating the rock up more, letting the pile grow higher and less emphasis on collection itself).

When your very first compression event occurs and the shards get absorbed into the rock, the achievement will unlock.

---

By clicking and holding the prestige button displayed at the top of your screen, All of your progress will reset and you will be able to allocate Prestige Points (The exp bar to the left of the prestige button) to your talent rock to help push you further with stronger buffs in your next play-through.

I advise you to scroll down to (the) finale achievement on this guide to see how to allocate your points in order to beat the game. :)

---

You WILL eventually unlock this achievement as you play through and complete the game. Contrary to popular belief, you in fact DO NOT need to accumulate 10 points within a single prestige, rather the achievement unlocks when you acquire 10 talent points total over various prestige's. (I tested this myself so I know it works)

This is a fairly simple achievement. First, navigate to your house of shards and purchase the Robotics building


After purchasing a drone from this building, click on it consistently until it dies and the achievement will unlock. The Robotics building looks like this:

---

You will notice on the left side of your screen there will be a Damage Chart and a Collection Chart.


For the achievement to unlock, you need to have Mountaineers (The Gnorps bought from the Cocoa Cafe Building) at the top of the Collection Chart.

I was able to do this by purchasing 10 Mountaineers, upgrading my digging width to 7 columns and allocating a few Gnorps to the Improved Digging Upgrade.


You can also set your runners to slow down with the Breaktime Upgrade to allow the Mountaineers to collect faster than they can. Some players suggested building the pile higher using the archery range and slammer Gnorps to increase the piles height so the Mountaineers have more shards to work with, its ultimately completely up to you as to how you achieve this though.

There are a couple of steps to unlocking this achievement which requires prestiging at least once.

• You will need 10 Bombers (Purchased from the Gnorp Propulsion Lab Building)
  
• The Perk "Bathe in Fire" from the Talent Rock, requires 1 point to acquire
  
• 1 Zybellium Shard to use on the Slam Club Building perk called "Fire Breath"
  
• 80% Combo Chance Acquired at the Slam Club Building
  
• Fire Arrows purchased from the Archery Range (Make sure they are on by clicking them, it should be highlighted in white)

Fire Arrows cost 650 Shards so they are fairly affordable early game


The 80% Combo Chance is a little more expensive to afford and may take some time to acquire.

Once you unlock all of these things, you simply have to ensure that the rock stays on fire long enough to ignite 10 bombers for the achievement to unlock.

---

This achievement will not be attainable until you near the endgame.

You will eventually unlock a new building automatically when you acquire enough prestige points called "The Shrine" which can be acquired from the house of shards for 1 million shards.


Once you acquire the building, there will be an upgrade called "Find The Chosen" which requires 9 Gnorps. All but 1 Gnorp will die trying to pull the sword out of the rock and the achievement will unlock shortly after.

---

Press Shift + 8 or F8 on your Keyboard and you will notice your screen will turn fuchsia pink and the achievement will unlock. You can cycle through different coloured backgrounds by hitting:


F1 (Diluted Blue...?)
F2 (Purple)
F3 (Black)
F4 (Hunter Green)
F5 (Brown)
F6 (Charcoal Grey)
F7 (Wow that's a deep Blue)
F8 (Fuchsia Pink)

---

After each Compression event, the rock will spit out a single Zybellium which can be collected by a Gnorp in an air balloon using the "Zybellium Collection" upgrade in the Rock Analysis Lab Building.


Within a single playthrough, Allow 3 compression events to occur without spending any of the Zybellium currency on upgrades.


Once you acquire 3 Zybellium, the achievement will unlock.

---

I was able to achieve this by accident when I acquired my initial 12 perks to help me complete the game (See (the) Gnorp Finale Achievement in this Guide for Talent Rock Guide). The secret is to invest in a higher number of Slammer Gnorps compared to Runner Gnorps and acquire the Archery Range Building and Fire Arrows within that 5 minute timespan and the achievement will unlock.

This achievement cannot be done early game and must be done late game when you have established your talent rock perks.

---

You will want to invest your first 13 talent points in the following skills:


If you are aiming for the Speed achievement, you will need to alter the above talent points to not include:

• Runner Backstop
  
• Bigger Pile

If you are aiming for the Retro-Futuristic Warfare achievement, you will need to alter the above talent points to include:

• Modern Warfare
  
• Future to the Back

Important Note: Talent Points can be re-invested in each prestige so if you accidentally put a point in the wrong skill, you can simply left click it after starting a new prestige and left click on a new skill to reassign that point!

The larger skills which encapsulate the 5 smaller skills on the far right and left of the Talent Rock are called Passive Skills and unlock automatically when you collect enough Talent Points.

For a rough outline of steps to follow, see Saint Nic's Gnorp Walkthrough


This was the moment I got my Finale Achievement, do not let the time stamp deter you from achieving it yourself! Many players were able to achieve completion in 6 hours, 11 hours, 17 hours and some went beyond 46 hours according to the few screenshots I was able to find online. It's all dependent on how much you experiment in the game and the order in which you aim for achievements.

---

This can either be done on your very first playthrough or upon starting a brand new prestige.

After hitting the "Start" button, quickly pan your camera to the rock on the far right and click it a handful of times then manually click on the individual pieces of shards until they land in the spot where The Stash is suppose to be placed, before it is built by the Gnorps. If you are able to do this quick enough, the achievement should unlock.

---

After collecting 100 Gnorps, simply purchase 100 slammers from the Slam Club and the Achievement will unlock.

---

"Future to the Back" Perk Upgrade Icon from the Talent Rock


"Modern Warfare" Perk Upgrade Icon from the Talent Rock

This achievement will unlock after you acquire at least 17 Prestige Points, two of those points need to be set in the perks "Future to the Back" and "Modern Warfare" to acquire the upgrade.


After purchasing your first Riflegnorp, an option will appear at the top of the Gun V. Rock Building for "Modern Warfare," after clicking it the achievement will unlock.

---

Important Note: You will not be able to see the icon for this achievement on the Rock Analysis building until you unlock the perk "Zybellium Mastery", the building will then upgrade to have this weird blinking white light on the left of the Zybellium Collection Container.


I've seen some players say they needed a mod to acquire this achievement. I personally disagree and think its easy enough to do with manual clicking.

All you have to do is click on the light when its fully white for a total of 20 times back to back and the achievement will unlock.

---

The description of this achievement is a bit misleading, causing it to be the most rare/sought after in the game. Some players from Reddit going as far to hack the achievement onto their account. In all reality, its quite simple and will just take time.

To acquire this achievement, I suggest you focus on gathering the other achievements first to give your shard pile a small boost, but not enough to cause a compression event. (You will already have Talent points allocated in your Talent Rock by this stage to achieve this) You will want your shard pile to be at Tier 1 as that is the most affordable Drones will be. I have included a comprehensive list of all my purchases in order to achieve this and it took me exactly 1 hour and 46 minutes of idling while playing it extremely safe and multitasking:


Please Note: There is likely risks you can take in making more purchases and achieving this quicker than through my method but if you do want to play things safe and ensure you will unlock it, I suggest following this method above as its been tested and worked for me.

You have now entered the Gnorp-leets of players who have 100%-ed the game, Congratulations!
