Full Achievement List (with launch-week global rates)

  1. Play the story naturally. The 15 hidden story/side achievements track campaign beats — the unlock-rate gradient above shows they come steadily across the run.
  2. Collect as you go. Every collection system is covered in our Collectibles guide; grabbing what you pass cuts the cleanup phase dramatically.
  3. Post-game cleanup. Sweep remaining kittens, hiding spots, ingots, cards and music boxes with the full movement kit, then finish the Traveler shop buyout (Shopaholic) and the two stat-bar maxouts.
  4. Master XII’s secret (1.7%) is the one endgame wildcard — hidden and rare. We’re verifying the exact trigger and will update this page.
