Overview
All achievements in the game
Introduction
This guide includes short description of all achievements in the game. While some of them might seem vague or cryptic, they’ll be very clear while playing the games. Achievements labelled as Story can’t be missed. Achievements are ordered in a way I obtained them during playing.
If you require a more detailed information I recommend a guide by Felixinius, a true expert in the Cube Escape and Rusty Lake games:

Pull the rope a few times until a feather drops. Click it.

Talk to the bartender after Bob shots himself.
After Bob shoots himself go into his head and keep going left you see Laura.
During the Fish and Parrot scene send the egg to the wrong pipe a few times so the parrot has to give you a new egg. I’ve done it by setting the pipes in a way that the parrot would eat the egg.
The Cave
Complete the spider puzzle without failing. This puzzle is available from the beginning of the game and I recommend going for it right away so if you fail for whatever reason you can restart the game without losing any progress. My solutions are shown below although there is some randomness to the movement of the spider so you might need to adjust.
Click the dog a few times.
Story. Unlocks after solving the family tree puzzle.
After preparing the elixir click the mirror. Give the elixir to your reflection and keep clicking it so it transforms between human and crow a few times.
Story. Give the elixir to the diver.
Story. Get into the submarine.
You need to be on the submarine. Once you’ve entered the correct coordinates to the GPS machine and the engines are on you can use the machine on the screen to the left to travel freely to your chosen coordinates. You change the direction using the wheel under the periscope and the distance with the machine on the left of it. You need to visit three places shown on the map (hotel, cabin and chapel). At each of those places you need to look through the periscope to get new sets of coordinates. Travelling to those places and looking through the fishing window will reveal parts of the final coordinates.
Cabin: x:6 y:6 d:00 → x:3 y:9 d:50 → x:11
Hotel: x:6 y:3 d:00 → x:3 y:4 d:20 → y:5
Chapel: x:2 y:7 d:00) → x:8 y:1 d:00 → d:30
Now you can travel to x:11 y:5 d:30 and if you look through the fishing window you’ll see a box with
the RAT written on it. Enter this code into the machine to the right of the periscope and you’ll receive another box. You need to enter Dale’s birthday to open it. Dale’s birthday was revealed in Cube Escape: Paradox and it’s 18.12.30 (in the US it might be 12.18.30, I can’t check). Enter this code, open the envelope and you’ll get the achievement.
Story. Get the golden cube.
