Riverbond 100% Achievement Guide

This section will list the achievements that are not specific for any level.

All the following achievements are doable in the first adventure “Restwater Valley” where there are a lot of chickens that don’t attack you. Watch out for the roosters that will attack. I did this very early in the game so they are out of the way and that I don’t have to focus on them anymore during the rest of the game.
