- Gear pass: complete one firearm's attachment slots, finish the engine chain and keep a reliable late-game weapon for boss speed kills.
- Collection pass: compare the in-game Tab encyclopedia with Collector, then farm the separate rare Drip variants for Fishipedia.
- Skill pass: revisit weak Lighthouse or Forest targets for 360 no scope, Impressive, Easy and the remaining physics challenges.
- Additional Steam checks: track your first euro for Bilingual, bottle money for Money in a bottle and an arrow kill for Hobin Rood. Confirm each unlock on Steam.

Progress stays on this device. If Steam and the checklist disagree, treat Steam and the in-game encyclopedia as authoritative.
Achievement FAQ
Short answers before the grind
These answers are included in the visible page and its FAQ structured data.
How many achievements are in How to Fish?
Steam lists 31 achievements as checked on October 13, 2026. The roster includes Bilingual, Money in a bottle and Hobin Rood. Known coverage for the original 28 route hints is Patch 1.0.10; those routes have not been rechecked for the current patch.
Which achievements were missing from the older 28-achievement list?
Bilingual requires your first euro, Money in a bottle requires finding money inside a bottle, and Hobin Rood requires defeating a creature with an arrow. These conditions are confirmed by the official Steam achievement list; our short suggestions are not a newly tested route.
Does this achievement tracker connect to Steam?
No. Ticked achievements are saved only in this browser with localStorage. The tracker never reads or changes a Steam account, so compare it with your Steam achievement page before a completion run.
What is the difference between Collector and Fishipedia?
Collector covers the required base creature set, including optional boss-lure encounters. Fishipedia is the separate cleanup for rare rainbow-named Drip variants shown in the in-game encyclopedia.
How do I unlock Fully equipped?
Install a non-default optic, damage part, muzzle, laser and extended magazine on the same eligible firearm. Check every attachment slot on one weapon rather than spreading parts across several guns.
What should I know before attempting Bean?
Bean requires the completed story in under one hour. Treat it as a practiced progression-only run, avoid optional collection detours and make sure the ending sequence completes before saved playtime reaches 60 minutes.
