Story Related Achievements
Find your first gold ore
-Can be found in the 1st and 2nd level. This could technically be missed, but is one if not the first achievement you should unlock.
Call a character using the radio
-Self explanatory, can be combined with the “Huh?..” achievement.
Complete the first level of the game
-Mine your way deeper and deeper 🙂
Earn $100K
-Play the game normally and it will pop eventually.
Earn $1B
-This requires some time, but should be reached before being able to buy all S-tier upgrades.
Complete the game

Missable Achievements
Get the maximum discount at Tobias’ shop
-This achievement and the “A minute of self-love” is the sole reason you need multiple playthroughs for the 100%. There are several things you need to do for a maximum discount.
- Max upgrade the Expedition headquarters and shop.
- Purchase each different item from Tobias
- Call Tobias at the 6th level (lava)
- Name the unknown ore Girthingtonite
Name a new ore after yourself
-At the 5th level (plants) you will find a new ore and Emily Stone will ask you to name it. Choose Forgium and the achievement will unlock. I recommend doing this at your second playthrough.
Deliver at least one piece of uranium to the factory without the Lead lining upgrade installed
-In the level 7 (vaults) you will be able to mine uranium, this will cause your mech some damage without the Lead lining upgrade installed. Just make sure you don’t buy it before mining the uranium.
Miscellaneous Achievements
Reach out to an unknown contact via radio
-Can be obtained at multiple levels listed below with hidden frequencies
- Base level at 39.0 kHz
- 5th level (plants) at 40.8 kHz
- 6th level (lava) at 36.5 kHz
Dig through 2,500 tiles
-Should be obtained before reaching the arena and getting all gear.
Call every character from every location of the game
-Make sure you call the 5 characters on the ground, levels 1 through 9 and the hidden frequencies listed in “Huh?..” above.
Set 1,000 Reinforcement beams
-This should probably be done late game since I thought they didn’t add much. Just swing by at Tobias, buy and place till the achievement pops.
Find the most expensive ore in the game
-After buying the S-tier laser drill upgrade, you will be able to mine the power cores in the (9th) (gravity) level. This will unlock the achievement.
Discover the full story of the ancient Hyperborean civilization
-Find the 20 collectables and talk to Emily afterwards about each complete set.
- 5x vase of the First people
- 5x Laws of the nine
- 5x Prophecy at the end of light
- 5x Space ship black box
Finish every vault
-The vaults don’t move after each earthquake so you can use reinforcement beams and the map to find them later at leisure. Most of them seem to open during an earthquake and some are already open (this might have been glitched and patched since writing this guide). Clear them all out and the achievement is yours.
Make Tobias angry
-Use dynamite at Tobias’ shop twice, careful this will make his items 1% more expensive. you can do this achievement last or immediately alt-f4 after obtaining it.
Buy every S-tier main upgrade and every special upgrade in the game, and upgrade every building to its maximum level
-For all S-tier gear, you need to at least finish every vault in the game. (In level 9 (gravity) are the most S-tier upgrades.)
Go to the expedition headquarters for upgrading the rest of the buildings.

Before entering the arena you will be asked if you are sure to enter, but don’t worry. After choosing an ending you can still select your save and load a backup, even if it says completed.

After choosing fight again, in the first phase, just break all the health pods. Then when the entire arena opens up, break all the heating elements, guns and rocket laucher. Don’t finish it off yet, the explosives you brought with you now come to play. Use the TNT or blasting compound on the legs of the AI until they are all broken. Now you can finish it off by breaking the health pods and another achievement unlocked.
