A Short Hike: 100% Achievements Guide

Reach the Peak of the mountain. In order to do so, the game recommends you have at least 7 golden feathers before trying to reach the top. Each one of them will increase your stamina.

Once you’ve reached Hawk Peak, go back to your aunt’s cabin and interact with it. Claire will be given the possibility to take a nap. By accepting, you will trigger the end of the game and unlock this achievement. You will be able to keep on playing after the end credits.

Find 10 golden feathers.

Get all the feathers of the game: 20 golden feathers and 2 silver feathers.
In order to help you locate them all, I suggest you to consult this guide:

Fish and trade the 22 species listed in the fisherman’s journal.
The fisherman can be found in his boat, below the electric pylons. He will buy every new species of fish you bring him, or he will trade them for bait(s) if you have already sold him the said fish. If you bring him enough, he will give you his journal to keep track of your progression. To help you find them, the journal features a note for each fish that hasn’t been caught yet. Feel free to fish 2 or 3 times at each location to maximize your chances of catching a fish that you would not already have. Finally, you need to know that fishing with bait is faster than fishing without bait.

Beat Avery twice on each of the 3 circuits.
You will meet Avery near the visitor’s center: she will challenge you to race against her.

Avery must be beaten twice on each circuit before giving you access to the next course. Be warned: if you win, she will remember the way you raced and will be more efficient during your next race.

Try the famous local specialty, “Strawberries and Toast”.
In the visitor center, a sign indicates that it is possible to taste this specialty by coming to this place at 5PM. Be sure to read that sign. You must then either wait for 5PM or adjust your OS clock accordingly, then talk to the animal that sells feathers and provincial park hat. Ask him if you can taste this specialty, but he will be out of strawberries. Insist and take the toast anyway. Select it in your inventory: Claire will eat it and you will unlock the achievement.
