    Drip (kill any drip creature), Easy (kill a boss in under 10 seconds), Bean (complete the game within one hour), Handyman (defeat the final boss using only your fists).

Tips

  • Most of these unlock naturally on a normal first playthrough. Save the hard ones (Easy, Bean, Handyman, Fishipedia, Collector) for a dedicated challenge run.
  • Bring dynamite along early if you want the seagull-related achievements out of the way.
  • A seagull can steal a fish you've already brought ashore, but you can also shoot and sell the seagull itself, which helps with the seagull-related achievements.
  • Trick shots like a 360 no-scope add bonus value to the kill, not just achievement progress. Practice the finishing shot on a weak, disposable fish rather than during a boss fight.
  • Drip creatures and a fish's own rare variant are separate collection goals. Check what you actually caught before assuming it fills a Fishipedia or Drip requirement.
  • For Fully equipped, pick one gun that fits your playstyle and fully attach it, rather than spreading attachments across several weapons.
