ASTRAL: 100% Achievements Guide

It is not just possible, but easy to get all achievements in a single playthrough, there is a good chance that you won’t miss any without checking the guide or just 1-2, so this guide more like just a statement that perfection is easy and doable, still you can find information if you missed any achievement.

Once completed the game click on play and choose continue instead of new game, selecting continue alows you to replay chapters.

There are 9 chapters from where you can replay that area, i divided achievements in this guide to the chapters where you can earn it.

Many achievements can be earned anywhere, i still move it to the chapter where i earned it.

Completion time: ~2h, even without guide. While there are many missable achievements i believe only 2+collector achievement what is easier to miss.

Collector

I not made screenshot about the collectible tapes as i was recording my game. Unfortunately the game immune to being recorded, i never had such problem before but when i tried to record it with OBS i wanted to edit once i was done but it recorded only the sound, the screen was frozen to the starter screen for the whole video. Planned to replay and record it with other programm, tried a few but all had the same issue.

So if you playing please look out for tapes, they are very hard to miss except the one in Downtown chapter.

Follow my curator if you like to see achievement related informations (completion time, difficulty to get all achievements) on store page of the games.
The curator group dont mark any game as recommended so it shows useful information about achievements on the store page of the games without influencing the main store page of steam with recommendations + all games sorted to lists based on expected completion times. No point not to follow!:-)

There are turrets in the game which kills you. While controlling the monster you need to run toward the turret and attack it. Monsters dont die instantly once they got hit by a turret so there is just enough time to reach it and attack it. Reload last checkpoint if you fail, can’t progress without destroying so unmissable.

Key keeper

Close to the grandfather there is the keys to the shelter, unmissable. At grandfather hug the rock so you will see a note on the ground on the other side of the rock. This just gives clues about the Where is the grandfather? achievement which is the easiest to miss.

This is definietly the easiest to miss achievement. You looted up the key for Key keeper at the grandfather and if you hugged the rock at grandfather you seen a not on other side. Now once you used the lift and on the surface again head to left, there is the note. Usually you would just loot the note and move to rigth, but instead hug the rock so you can see other side of the rock. The grandfather is gone and you get this achievement.

City dweller

Unmissable, awarded for reaching the city.

Not exactly sure about this anymore because of my video recording fail so can’t rewatch it. I believe you need run away from a monster which following you and then it needs to be killed by a hacked turret.

Tagged

Missable, but you should get it while playing regularly, just get killed by a turret.

Over the bridge

Get to the Bridge area. Unmissable.

Platformer

Jump from one platform to another at the bridge area at a location where the bridge is partially broken and you need to get to the other side. I remember so that on 2nd level you can skip this part so the achievement might be missable.

Crane operator

Just climb up to the top of the crane, unmissable as thats how the story progressing.

Extremal

The crane hold some pipes which is a platform so first you need to jump to there then you can jump to the next location, if i remember rigth this is also unmissable.

Engineer

Because of video recording issue i can’t recheck how i earned this, it was probably for fixing a turret via console. If you played the game please leave a comment about this how you got it exactly, but i believe this was also unmissable.

Office clerk

Unmissable, just enter the office building.

Collector

This is the point where you should get the collector achievement. Until now the tapes were always at easy to spot areas and the game is pretty linear up to this point so you really should have all of them. When climbind down the ladder from office building you will see the tape to the left so when you reach the ground solve the left side first. If you go to right you can’t return to the left side.

Faster than wind

I believe you can get this at earlier too but this is the area where you should get it without even caring about it. When a monster running after you you should get to safety when a monster is already close to you. In this part of the game there is an area where you need to hide behind boxes but the monster keep heading to the other direction only for 1 more second so it will turn and start to run after you. When jumping on the boxes at the end of the passage the monster should be close to you already.

Master of disguise

Unmissable, there is a spot in this area where you need hide behind boxes while 3 monsters close to you. Passing this spot will grant you the achievement.

Squirrel in a wheel

This is the another achievement which easy or possible to miss. Once passed that 3 monster setup for Master of disguise you will be able to hack turrets, from there head to left instead back to these 3 monsters. If you go to left the achievement will unlock.

Pipeliner
