If you are collecting achievements in Everdream Valley, this guide will tell you how to unlock all the achievements and show you where to find all the 30 butterflies.
Intro
None of the achievements are missable, so feel free to play through the game without a guide. However, one achievement seems currently unobtainable. I’ll update this guide once I hear more about it.
How to…?
Achievements
Cut down 5 trees.
Chop down 5 trees in total. Keep in mind that if you cut it down totally, it won’t regrow.
Super Lumberjack
Cut down 30 trees.
See the achievement above.
Feline buddy
Play with the cat until it reaches the maximum level.
You have to play the mini-game with the cat 3 times. You can find the cat toy on a stone close to the farm.
Dog trainer
Train your dog to the maximum level.
Find a stick (chop down a shrub for a stick) and throw it for the dog so he can return it. do this a few times and you’re dog will be level 3.
Mother hen
Raise a chicken.
Get an incubator and put an egg into it. This is story related as it will be a quest line.
Chicken collector
Raise 20 chickens.
This achievement might take a while. I got 3 incubators at the end of the game, just to speed the process up a bit.
Little chef
Prepare 5 dishes.
You’ll make way more than 5 (or 30) dishes during the game, as they will increase your stamina. But this is a good moment to tell you my favorite recipes which you will get later on in the story but can already make quite early on:
Fruit Salad
Strawberry x1
Raspberries x1
Blackberry x1
Gooseberry x1
Cherry x1
And another one that is also not bad for early on in the game:
Scrambled Eggs with chanterelles:
-Eggs x2
-chanterelle x5
Master chef
Prepare 30 dishes.
See the info above, but with the amount of bee stings you’ll get which deletes part of your stamina forever, you’ll make far more than 30 dishes.
Dreamer
Go through one dream mission.
Story-related, cannot be missed.
Dreamcatcher
Go through 10 dream missions.
Story-related, cannot be missed.
Little farmer
Harvest crops from 50 plants.
See the achievement below.
Grower
Harvest crops from 300 plants.
You can plant crops on your farm, harvest those 300 times. In my opinion, one of the most important ones will be the strawberries because you need those for the “Fruit Salad” recipes. To grow crops at your farm, insert the fruit/vegetable in the ground and it will grow a new one.
Little fisherman
Catch 5 fish.
See the achievement below.
Super fisherman
Catch 30 fish.
Somewhere in the story, you’ll find a lonely/sick alpaca. Just close to there is your grandpa and he will challenge you in a fishing game. After that, you can fish in that area, but it is much faster to keep restarting that challenge.
Treasure hunter
Find 3 magpie nests.
Follow a magpie that has something shiny in his mouth, to be able to destroy the nest he has to leave the shiny thing in the nest. If you find a nest but can’t destroy it yet, wait on a bit of a distance till the magpie returns and leave something precious behind.
Raise one young animal.
Have a male and female animal in the same pen to get a young animal.
Master breeder
Raise 20 young animals.
See the achievement above, this will happen over time.
Mushroom Master
Collect 100 mushrooms.
You can find them in a lot of places on the island. If you walk over them while you have the basket you automatically collect them, just run over them.
Animal Friend
Pet 5 animals.
See the achievement below.
Petter Parker
Pet 30 animals.
You’ll pet a lot of animals during the story, so I think you’ll already have completed this one before the end of the game.
Zoo director
Collect all species of animals on the farm.
Story-related, cannot be missed.
Butterfly hunter
Catch 30 butterflies.
THIS ONE MIGHT BE UNABLE TO UNLOCK IN THE CURRENT BUILD
This is the most challenging achievement in-game, as for this it has to be all the 30 different butterflies. See the info in the next paragraphs for more info. You can see in the butterfly atlas which butterflies you have found and which you haven’t found yet.
List of butterflies and their location
Someone from the publisher I was talking to to find the missing butterfly asked me to not reveal too much of the map so it is a mystery for new players. I choose to use the following map, as for people further into the story they got a good idea of where to search for each butterfly but it doesn’t show everything for new players.
