POPGOES: The Dead Forest contains 20/37 obtainable achievements lets start from the beginning!
It Gets Easier
Lose against a Corrupt Hedgehog before upgrading any stats.
This one is quite self explanatory. Once you enter the West Forest for the first time, run back and forth until you encounter a Corrupt Hedgehog and die at it’s hands for your first achievement.
Gatecrasher
Unlock the gate to the North Forest.
Unlock this achievement by defeating the three Minibosses around the West, South and East Forests, collecting their keys and bringing them to the gate above the Garden Inn, unlocking the North Forest.
At Death’s Door
Unlock the door to The Castle.
!!! AFTER DEFEATING THE BRIDGE GUARD, PRESS THE WINDOWS KEY AND R AT THE SAME TIME, TYPE %APPDATA% AND LOOK FOR YOUR POPGOES ARCADE SAVE FILE. COPY AND PASTE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR A FUTURE ACHIEVEMENT SO THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO REPLAY ALL OF THE DEAD FOREST !!!
Defeat the Bridge Guard, bringing the Minibosses from earlier back to life. Defeat them a second time, unlocking their abilities, to find three more keys hidden around the West, South and East Forests. Bring said keys to the door of The Castle to break in, unlocking your next achievement.
Invincible
Win a battle with only 1 HP.
This one can be quite luck based, however I found it easiest by blocking against a Corrupt Hedgehog, allowing it to get a critical hit or two as well. This left me one 1HP, where I quickly finished it off. Make sure you have lowered it’s health first or else your in for a rough time!
Pop Champ
Win 100 Battles
This achievement is easiest to get while doing BB’s Hit-List, so keep it in mind while you’re doing it.
The Chosen One
Max out all stats and abilities in POPGOES: The Dead Forest.
This achievement can also be easily gained while doing BB’s Hit-List due to how many coins you get whilst you’re killing all the enemies. I recommend getting this achievement before heading into the East Forest to fight Bonnie for the second time.
You Should Be Golden
Encounter a Gilded enemy.
I can’t give much advice for this one. Gilded enemies have a 1/120 chance of spawning each time you encounter an enemy, so here’s hoping you’re feeling lucky!
On the Plus Side
Encounter a Corrupt+ enemy.
This will be automatically obtained once you fight any forest enemy after defeating the Bridge Guard. Be careful however, as these Corrupt+ enemies pack a punch!
Leave Me Alone!
Run away from 5 enemies in a row.
You obtain the ability to run away from fights by upgrading Foxy’s hook (Obtained from defeating Dead Foxy) at any Inn, using Emeralds. Emeralds are hidden in trees all around the map, even in the castle. There are multiple Emeralds in each area, even the castle. They look like a green sparkle, hidden behind the leaves of a tree, so keep your eye out for them! To obtain this achievement, simply do as it says and run away 5 times in a row.
An Apple a Day
Collect every fruit in the forest.
Using Chica’s upgraded jump ability (Obtained through defeating Dead Chica and upgraded at any Inn using Emeralds), search through each forest, looking for fruits or berries on trees. Walk up to the tree and interact with it to obtain a Fruit. There are around 20~ fruits in total, so get hunting!
Okay, Now I’m Ready
Have an ATK+, DEF+ and Shield activated at the same time.
All three items mentioned can be bought in shops around the West, South and East Forests. The best time to get this achievement in my opinion is during a hard boss fight. Just use the 3 items in a row. Something like Shield > ATK+ > DEF+. Shield lasts three turns and the other two last five turns.
B Polite, B Efficient
Complete all of BB’s Hit-Lists without buying any of them.
!!!DO THIS BEFORE TURNING OFF THE RED LASERS IN EACH FOREST!!!
BB’s Hit-Lists are unlocked after speaking to Sara in the Inn after defeating the Bridge Guard. He can be found standing next to all three shops in the three forests, ready to give you your tasks. He will ask you to kill 10 Common enemies from each forest, 5 Uncommon enemies from each forest and 3 Rare enemies from each forest. This achievement can take some time to get, but with enough time and skill, it can easily be done. The rewards are game changers as well!
Dethroned
Defeat the King of the Castle
Once you enter the castle, explore each room, collecting each coin and reading all the books. Once you reach the Throne Room, make sure you are prepared for battle. You will want Foxy’s Hook and Chica’s Jump to be fully upgraded for this fight and you will want a good amount of Pizzas / Fruits and Shields. A quick reminder, shields DO NOT work when The King charges an attack, so be careful. Instead, try jumping over the charged attack. The beams in the background will effect the fight too. If a purple beam is present, The King will reflect your attack, dealing big damage. If a yellow beam is present, The King will take 50% extra damage. Ignoring the beams entirely is probably the best option. Good Luck!
Beastmaster
Complete The Bestiary.
Honestly, the best method for getting this achievement is moving onto the second campaign, “POPGOES and The Machinist” and buying the Bestiary pages for the gilded enemies. This will speed up the process significantly, getting you the achievement in no time! The Bestiary is very fun to read through as well so be sure to check out all new entries.
A LOT OF ACHIEVEMENTS FROM HERE ONWARD CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SECRETS AND HIDDEN ENDINGS. TREAD CAREFULLY!
I’m Sorry I Axed
Find something in the well.
This achievement can be, well, achieved by interacting with the well in the South Forest multiple times. The well is located behind a rock on the path to the shop. I wonder what the secret means…
In Its Code
Witness the Blackrabbit.
This begins the path to getting the secret ending of POPGOES: The Dead Forest. Begin by locating a fake wall in the left side of The Castle. Follow the path until it leads you to a chest floating on the water, containing a key. Bring the key out of the North Forest, back to the Fountain located above the Garden Inn and interact with it. This will cause a special sequence to begin. Locate all pieces of the Blackrabbit. There will be one in the Garden, each forest, and The Castle. Bring each piece back to the fountain. Blackrabbit will then tell you to “Come Find Me”. This is done by returning to the well in the South Forest and interacting with it. Head left, traversing through all the FNaF 3 Minigames until you find the Blackrabbit boss. Attack it once to get this achievement.
Paranormal Inactivity
Free the soul from the arcade cabinet.
This can be done by constantly blocking or healing during the Blackrabbit encounter without attacking once. Attacking at all will cause the encounter to end.
Paranormal Reactivity
Bring the soul back to the arcade cabinet
This can be achieved by highlighting the “Continue to POPGOES and The Machinist” button on the main menu after getting the previous achievement, pressing down five times. This will highlight the axe. Then press interact five times.
Savior of the Forest
Beat POPGOES; The Dead Forest with 100% completion.
100% Completion is gotten through getting max stats with POPGOES, unlocking all abilities using Emeralds (If you’re missing one Emerald, try chatting with Sara in the Garden Inn!), freeing Blackrabbit, completing BB’s Hit-List and then defeating The King. This will get you the achievement and unlock POPGOES and The Machinist.
After clicking “Continue to POPGOES and The Machinist”, POPGOES: The Dead Forest will no longer be available to play unless you reset your save file, so make sure you back it up!
With that said, why dont we move onto POPGOES and The Machinist?
