After starting the game, you will have a few boxes of dialogue and a short cutscene. As soon as you gain control of Auk you have to run along the designated path to a small shrine. Here you collect a lantern that you need for future puzzles. After you receive this (and another cutscene), the cave will start to shake and collapse. You will have to escape the cave you are in. There is only one main path that you can follow throughout this section, so do exactly that.
You are also shown most of the controls in this short section.
As soon as you reach the end of the cave and enter the open world, you will earn:
Once out of the cave, speak to the NPC standing there waiting for you. After a few boxes of dialogue, you are free to go wherever you want! In order to get there, you need to fly. After getting into the air, you'll need to bring up your map. This is vital for all of the achievements, otherwise, you'll likely get quite lost. Check it while you're on the way to somewhere every now and then to make sure you're still on the right course. When you first open this, you'll find most of the map is blank, except for the first area you are in. You uncover the other areas of the map when you fly into them, but I'll cover that as we fly around.
Look at your map, and you'll see a small island with what looks like a large pillar on it. This is the settlement, and we'll be visiting here a few times throughout the story. Heard straight to here first. If you struggle to find the actual settlement on the island that it is on, look for a pillar of smoke coming from a fire, that is were you should be aiming for. When you reach the settlement, you'll see a well. Jump in the well and stand there for a few seconds. You'll unlock:
Hop out of the well, then speak to everyone in the village (should be 3 people, two adults and a child). Run around this settlement/ the island it's on some more until you see a sheep with some lambs. Run up to them and the lambs should come running over to you with little hearts above their heads. This will pop:
- Mama?
Get some Lambaby love.
If you don't get this now, keep checking back, there are sheep and lambs on a number of islands other than the settlement as well.
Now open your map and head to the island shown in the picture below (where the cursor is).
You should find a stone deer on this island. Stand near it and look at it for a few seconds, then you will earn:
Head North to the following island nearby:
You'll find a lake on this island. In the middle of the lake you'll find a small sand island with a load of crabs on it. Just spotting it should unlock the next achievement but standing on the island should definitely get you it if not:
Now head east and keep an eye on the map. You'll eventually unlock that portion of the map. From this area, head north west, you'll pass over lots of floating islands, and go to the island in the next picture:
On this island you'll find a large animal carcass/animal bones with a stone tablet at the end. Visiting this will unlock the next achievement, you may need to walk under the carcass:
From here, head to the next island on the map below. You'll be visiting one of the three spirit animals in the game here, you need to visit all three to unlock the achievement. First up is the Bear. Once on the island below, you'll be looking for the entrance to a cave as you can also see below.
You'll need to navigate some tunnels, then right at the end, you'll find the bear. Have a conversation with him, then leave the way you came in.
From here, head far far north, pretty much as far north as you can go, you'll unlock another section of the map while on the way. You are aiming for north side of this large island:
You'll find a large chunk of ice, frozen inside it is the Ancient Llamba. Upon finding this, you'll unlock:
Head south east to the next island shown on the map below:
On this island you're looking for a cave area with a tent nearby. Go inside the cave and look around a little and you'll unlock:
Leave this cave, transform back into a bird then head further south to the following island:
On this island, you're looking for a large bird shape on the ground made of rocks. It's easiest to see from the air. Land near this and wander around a little to unlock:
From here, head slightly south to the large island next to you. Here, you'll be visiting the second of three spirit animals, the Fox. Once again, it resides in a cave that requires some jumping about but the path is otherwise straightforward. At the top of this cave you'll find the Fox, so have a quick conversation then leave the way entered.
Again, head a little further south to the next island;
On this little island, you're looking for a large statue of a fox. Find this and you will earn:
Now head slightly south east to a large island, shown in the map below.
Go to where the arrow is, then fly down underneath the big island, to find a smaller one beneath it. On a smaller island down here, you should find a large stone tablet with a map chiselled into it. Walk up to this and you'll earn:
From here, head west to one of the small islands just off the main island, shown on the map below:
You should find a large square shrine with a load of bird statues on each side. Find this and walk around it a little and you'll unlock:
Head west to the centre of the map, you'll not come across any other islands, until you reach a huge structure. This is the Creator's Shrine. You'll be visiting here later as part of the story, but for now, you're just unlocking it on the map. Once you reach here, turn around and head south east. Head towards the island on the map below. This is the last of these achievements, then it'll be onto the storyline.
On this island, you should find a large stone crane statue. Go up to this to unlock the final achievement before the story:
Fly back towards the settlement where you started, and we'll go from there through the story. Hopefully at this point, you should also have unlocked the whole map at this point, doing which will unlock:
From here, head onto the next page!
