Welcome to this guide to unlocking all achievements in The Talos Principle: Reawakened.

The guide is divided into three main parts :
- The Talos Principle (main game)
- Road To Gehenna (DLC)
- In the beginning (new chapter exclusive to this game)

The main game has a lot of missable achievements, meaning you can lock yourself out of earning them on a single playthrough if you make certain choices or fail to complete specific actions at the right time. Therefore, the guide tells you what to do to get them in one playthrough. I recommend you to follow the roadmap I suggested to unlock story missable achievements.

Road To Gehenna only has one missable achievement. The solution is provided in the guide. I have also given you the solution for text adventures which may require multiple attempts to complete. I suggested you a roadmap I used when I played the DLC.

In the beginning achievements are not missable. 4 of them are for solving 1, 5 and 15 puzzles and completing the story. The last two achievements are for listening to a recording and painting a QR code.

If you have any suggestion to improve the guide or any question, you can send a comment or you can also add me on Steam.

Leave Your Mark
Tell the others what you think.


Use a paint bucket to paint a QR Code on a wall.

QR Reader
See what the others have to say.


You will find QR codes in every level and hubs on walls. To unlock this achievement, you must read 83 distinct QR codes. In other terms, you don't need to read all of the game QR codes to unlock this achievement.

LOL
Laugh at the pointlessness of existence.


To unlock this achievement, you need to write the word LOL with sigils. When you are at a door puzzle with a square and two Ls, you will be able to write LOL. The puzzle must be at least 6 squares wide and 3 squares high. There are few levels which allow you to do that. For example : on Messenger Island C before solving the 4th puzzle ; on Messenger Island A, second puzzle on the left ; floor 2 of the tower ; floor 6 of the tower


Split Personality
Communicate with your double.


Paint a QR code with a paint bucket while being recorded. Read it when it is being played. Therefore, you need to find a paint bucket and enter a level that has a recorder.
I completed this one in C5. There is a paint bucket at the left of the level Time Flies. Take the paint bucket, enter the level and record yourself painting the wall then play the recording.
You can also do this in the level C4 Oubliette. There is a paint bucket opposite the door in this puzzle.
Some players also did it in C2 in the level A Ditch and a Fence.

Break Down Barriers
That's what axes are for!


There are two axes in the game :
- 10 stars world A : pick up the axe in front of the level Dumb Dumb Mine.
Then chop down the wooden door in the middle of the level outside the puzzle.
Bring the jammer and the axe in Dumb Dumb Mine using the fan.
Chop down trees in Dumb Dumb Mine to solve the puzzle and get the achievement.

- World C : near the entrance of C7

You will need to bring the axe to free a blue emitter to get the star of the Hub world which is behind the tower.

You only need to do one of these methods to get the achievement.

You can also get the achievement when you use the CRObar in B7 to break down a secret barrier which unlocks the cat ending.

You can follow this roadmap to get the story missable achievements :

Continue collecting stars until the conversation options below appear. Create a new checkpoint save by solving only one puzzle in Temple C level 7.

To get this achievement, choose the following dialogues :

• I equated personhood with humanity, which was a mistake.
  
• There's nothing else I'm prepared to doubt quite yet.
  
• I am unique.
  
• So long as I might have chosen otherwise I can make a difference.
  
• Does the path being predetermined mean it isn't worth taking?
  
• Do you think there can be no new ideas? Nothing better?
  
• If there's no point in anything, why are you talking to me?

Now exit the game and restore from the last backup to get the next achievement.
