Six **Achievement Pillars** can be found on top of the Giant Tree. Each individual piece of a pillar represents an achievement, showing that the player has accomplished a certain task or found a specific secret, making the pillars higher as you unlock more achievements. The unlocked sections will persist on top of the tree even if the player dies.
