Achievements

**Achievements** are currently only available in the Xbox, PS4 and Steam versions of the game.

## List of Achievements

There are **31** Outer Wilds achievements. **17** of these are from the base game, Outer Wilds. The other **14** are from the DLC, Echoes of the Eye.

NOTE: If you die at any point, you need to quit and start a new expedition again, this needs to be done in a single loop.
1. Wipe your save file and start a new one. (A new profile is recommended)
2. Acquire your launch codes from Hornfels in the Observatory.
3. Acquire the Distress Beacon signalscope frequency by visiting Escape Pods 1 or 2.
4. Wait for the Ash Twin Project to be accessible through the warp towers.
5. Retrieve the Advanced Warp Core from inside the Ash Twin Project.
6. Visit the Nomai Grave within Dark Bramble - find it by using your signalscope to get to Escape Pod 3, then following the trail of light beacons. Shoot a Little Scout into the bramble seed there.
7. Follow the Scout's duplicate signal to The Vessel. Be careful not to get eaten by the anglerfish on the way there, particularly in the red seed - there are three anglerfish waiting just within the entrance.
8. Place the Advanced Warp Core into the Vessel's receptacle for it.
9. Push the orb switch in the ground towards the fore of the Vessel, raising the coordinate input device.
10. Input the coordinates for the Eye of the Universe, found in the Probe Tracking Module within the core of Giant's Deep.
11. Activate the orb switch revealed by the coordinate input device.

A faster way of obtaining this achievement is by directly heading for the Ash Twin Project without the use of the signalscope.
1. Wipe your save file and start a new one (A new profile is recommended).
2. Acquire your launch codes from Hornfels in the Observatory.
3. Wait for the Ash Twin Project to be accessible through the warp towers.
4. Obtain the Advanced Warp Core from inside the Ash Twin Project.
5. Head for Dark Bramble, and follow the red light inside the core of the planet until you reach the eggs of the anglerfish. *Tip : Once you enter the first red seed, don't move at all and you will eventually automatically arrive at the eggs.*
6. Once at the eggs, look around for large roots, and send the Scout toward them to find a core with white light coming from it that directly leads to the Vessel.
7. Place the Advanced Warp Core into the Vessel's receptacle for it.
8. Push the orb switch in the ground towards the fore of the Vessel, raising the coordinate input device.
9. Input the coordinates for the Eye of the Universe, found in the Probe Tracking Module within the core of Giant's Deep.

Your suit will use oxygen as propellant when you run out of jetpack fuel.

Requisite velocity is 5,000 m/s directly towards the core. Aim carefully.

Bring a warp core back to the museum on Timber Hearth. These can be found in the High Energy Lab, the Ash Twin Project, or the Vessel. (Projection plates, scrolls, and artifacts from the Stranger don't count towards this achievement)

Specifically, be at least 10000km away from the sun when the time loop resets.

You need to create a temporal paradox and destroy spacetime. You can do this by either:
* Preventing your scout probe from entering the black hole after it has already exited the white hole in the high energy lab.
* Meeting yourself inside the Ash Twin Project by jumping into the temporal wormhole and then finding out what happens.

### Echoes of the Eye Achievements

This can be done by knocking the deep space satellite out of orbit. Do note, your map becomes unusable after doing so, though this resets the next loop.

The prototype can be found in the laboratory near the Endless Canyon tower, in a crate on the left when entering from the main entrance of the laboratory.

Burn a slide reel on any campfire.

There are many ways to "die" in the Secret World, but only seven of them are actually valid for the achievement. These include:
* Jumping into water
* Being woken by an alarm system
* Getting caught by a pursuer
* Being crushed by a chain elevator
* Falling onto a hard surface, especially in the Endless Canyon
* Standing in the campfire you "wake up" next to in the Secret World
* Having your spine adjusted by the pursuers by placing your lantern on the ground, going out of load distance and bumping into a pursuer

This achievement can be easily completed in the Endless Canyon or the Sealed Vault.

This requires landing the shot, which is more difficult than would be expected. You may need to fire some test shots at the artificial sun to get a feeling for the Coriolis force experienced within the Stranger.

Go on the top of the building in the Endless Canyon. Activate the pursuers, go to the top floor, jump out the window onto the roof and go to the top. It is at the top edge on the non-rockface side. It appears as a poop (glitch mode) or a crude, wooden representation of a Korok (regular view)

Fatal heights from which to jump onto hard surfaces are seldom found in the Secret World; this refers to jumping into water while a pursuer is chasing you.
You must activate the indoor bridge in Endless Canyon, and then fall into the water left of its torch.

Enter the Secret World and get caught by a pursuer with your lantern placed on the ground.
