Medals

## Overview

Updated as of Version 1.3.0

Medals function like in-game achievements and passively track your progress as you perform certain standard actions, like killing animals, catching fish, building structures, and so on. Some medals are displayed from the start of the game, while others are only unlocked once a certain action is performed for the first time. Each medal has three levels: bronze, silver, and gold. Completing any level of a medal will reward XP. You can view your progress towards a particular medal's goal by clicking it in the Collections tab.

Once you've completed a medal to the gold level, it will continue to track your progress beyond what was required to earn the gold medal. This means you can view your personal stats like distance traveled, objects destroyed, and monsters killed at any point from the Collections tab.

## Medal Backgrounds

The background of each medal indicates what level you have earned for that particular medal and whether or not you have discovered the medal's "challenge" in the first place.

## List of Medals

All medals can be completed with only the base game, though you can progress almost all of them in either DLC. There are three exceptions to this:

* Echoes From The Past is main island only, because the interactable radios with broadcasts are only found on the main island.
* Combat Obelisk is main island and Underworld only, because Doomsday does not have any Obelisks.
* Tomb Archaeologist is main island and Doomsday only, because the Underworld does not have any Tombs.

The grid below replicates the view of the Medals section of the Collections tab in game. Clicking any medal will open a quick overview of it; from this overview, there is a link to the individual page of the medal that describes the medal in more detail.
