Graveyard Keeper – 100% Achievements Guide (+ DLCs)

Overview

A detailed guide with all the useful information you will need to complete every single achievement in the base game and DLCs.

Introduction

Welcome to the 100% Achievements Guide!

Here, you will find an exhaustive list of all achievements (including the DLCs) along with tips and/or walkthroughs for each and every single one of them.

The achievements in each section are roughly arranged in the order they unlock.

Use CTRL+F to navigate the guide.

It took me about 50-60 hours to complete them all, the save’s daycount was at 370 once I finished.

Feel free to ask questions in the comments, I’ll try my best to answer.

Leave a thumbs up and have fun!

General tips

• Remember that Iron ore, Stone and Sticks are finite. Later in the game you’ll unlock alternative ways of acquiring Iron and Stone. Sticks, on the other hand, can be bought from Tress.
• You can transport more Logs or Blocks by carrying one and pushing a few more with your character.
• Buy a Teleportstone (at the Dead Horse tavern) as soon as possible. It’s infinite, and will save you a lot of time.
• Don’t eat Meat, you’ll need it for Burgers.
• Don’t throw bodies in the river (except the first time), it’s a waste of Ash.
• Make sure to gather Skulls regularly. You’ll need at least 13 Skulls for quests.
  Note: Removing Skulls adds one Red Skull to the body. To save your Graveyard’s quality, either burn the bodies or bury them temporarily and exhume them later in the game to improve their quality.
• Burn bodies from time to time, Ash will come in very useful.
• Start farming early. You’ll need plethora of vegetables for cooking and quests.
• Use Crop waste to produce Peat and Maggots at Compost heap regularly.
• Always apply Peat before any fertilizers. It improves the crops even further.
• Fish often, there’s an achievement to catch a total of 200 Fish. Doing that in one sitting is extremely tedious (trust me I know). You’ll thank yourself later.
• Food provides you with buffs. One of the buffs (received from cakes) increases the amount of points you receive during research. Always use the buff when researching items in a bulk.
• The giant tree in front of your house will not regrow.
• And lastly, don’t clean the poop! It’s… well… It’s very useful for travelling…

Graveyard Keeper (OG)

Quest-related:

Sweetheart Bishop

You meet him immediately after burying your first body.
And after that, he appears every , near the Church.

Charm itself

She gives her performances at the Dead Horse tavern every .

Perfume

Impossible to miss, achieved during Ms Charm’s questline.

Tip: The perfume requires 12 Frogs. You may buy up to 10 from Clotho, and fish the rest at the swamp’s fishing spot by using Moth as bait.

Ideal song

Impossible to miss, achieved during Ms Charm’s questline.

Note: It unlocks after you return the song to Ms Charm.

Shady Snake

You first see him in a cutscene right after you enter the Cellar. Once the cutscene finishes, Snake will come back to rummage around the gate every night. To get to him, you will need to clear one of the two blocked pathways (10 x Wood wedge, 2 x Wooden plank, 4 x Simple iron parts).
After that, he’ll come back to that spot every .

Summon a chicken

Once you unlock the Dungeon, Snake will ask you to bring 5 Bloody nails (an Iron Maiden drop – the metal, dual-knife-welding monster) and a Bucket of blood (5th floor chest reward) from it. The achievement will unlock right after his ritual attempt.

Note: If your bag is full, the Bucket of blood will drop behind the chest, making it seem as if it vanished. You’ll automatically pick it up once there’s at least one free space in your inventory.

It is also craftable (10 x Blood and 3 x Flitch at Church workbench), so don’t worry either way.

A book with funny pictures

Impossible to miss, achieved during Snake’s questline.

Simple but stylish

Impossible to miss, achieved during Snake’s questline.

Requires 12 Skulls.

Tip: The Farmer sells Silver-star Pumpkins and Silver-star Pumpkin seeds at tier III (tiers advance as you buy and sell items from the vendor). Alternatively, you could buy a Bronze-star Pumpkin seed and then use Quality Fertilizer I on it.

Side quest

Impossible to miss, achieved during Snake’s questline.

Tip: Bring one Wooden plank to the trap spot.

Wealthy merchant

He sells useful items in front of his Trade Office (south of the Dead Horse tavern) every .

Graveyard Veggies

You’ll need a Trade license. Go to the Royal services box (left of the Church) and purchase the Rightful citizen status (3 silver) and then the Trade license (50 silver).
Bring it to the Merchant on any to unlock the achievement.
Gaining access to his Trade Office will allow you to make some good money by selling huge amounts of vegetables at once.

Dream dinner

Easiest recipe:
– Gold-star Onion rings (bought from Horadric, at tier III),
– Any quality Burger (recipe unlocked early in the game, a Bronze-star Burger provides a 63% chance for the Gold-star Dinner, whereas a Silver-star Burger provides a 97% chance),
– Cake (guaranteed gold-star, recipe unlocked after giving 5 x Honey to Dig)

Note: You can save the game before crafting anything percentage based and reload as many times as needed to easily reach the desired effect.

Tip: Two easy to access wild Honey spots, they regen everyday (hold E on the marked trees):

On every shelf

You can improve Fame by bringing Flyers to the table at the Trade Office. Each 10 Flyers improves Fame by 1, so craft 50 of them to unlock the achievement.
Tip: You can buy Ink (not Pen and ink) from the Astrologer on any and craft Clean paper (from Skin or Bat wing) at Church workbench. Combine them together at Printing press for easy and quick Flyers.

Holy Inquisition

He visits the Witch Hill every .

Not a hot dog

You’ll need to use a bit of alchemy for this one.

First, build the Buffet tent (5 x Hemp rope, 15 x Wooden plank, 20 x Nails) at the Witch Hill.

Next, buy either Bronze-star Onion seeds or Silver-star Onion seeds (at tier II) from the Farmer, and Bronze-star Hops seeds (at tier II) from the Miller (north of Farmer’s house). Use Quality fertilizer I (Note: using Peat along with Quality fertilizer I will improve the crop drops even further) to gradually improve their quality. Once you hit Gold-star Onions and Gold-star Hops use them in the recipes. You’ll need 5 Gold-star Burgers and 10 Gold-star Beers. I also recommend to continue growing more Gold-star Onions, in order to sell them in crates later or continue opening the Buffet tent.
Opening the buffet on will reward you with 33 Silver and 4 Faith each time.

Note: You can only grow Hops at the Vineyard (west of the Witch Hill).

Night watch

Impossible to miss, achieved during the Inquisitor’s questline.

Match 3

Impossible to miss, achieved during the Inquisitor’s questline.

Note: Bringing all 3 Dark organs to the Inquisitor unlocks the achievement.

Old Astrologer

He visits the Lighthouse every .

Tip: Use the Teleportstone to get to and from the Lighthouse quickly, it’s very far east.

A perfect gift

Impossible to miss, achieved during the Astrologer’s questline.

Tip: Use the Teleportstone to get to and from the Lighthouse quickly, it’s very far east.

Missable:

WARNING: Contains minor spoilers!
Nevertheless, check them out so you don’t miss any.

Best seller

Missable only if you own the Stranger Sins DLC (skip to the tip, if you don’t own it).

At some point during the Astrologer’s and another NPC’s combined questline, the Astrologer will require a Silver-star Book. Make sure you don’t give him a Research Obsidian (a Silver-star Book substitute from the Stranger Sins DLC). Doing so, will skip the second part of the quest, which is about bringing him the titular Best seller, a Gold-star Book, thus locking you out from ever receiving the achievement.

Tip: Instead of crafting a Gold-star Book using only (expensive) gold-star components, try buying a Silver-star Hard cover from the Astrologer and combining it with a Gold-star Chapter. Save before crafting and reload until it yields a Gold-star Book.

He trusted you…

A week after bringing 3 Dark organs to the Inquisitor, he’ll ask you for more evidence.
There’ll be 3 dialog options:
– About Gerry. (Unlocks the achievement)
– About a cult.
– About not having any more evidence.

Note: Don’t worry about Gerry’s safety. After choosing that dialogue option, the Inquisitor won’t be interested in taking him.

Upgrades:

Even here

Use the Garden certificate on the blueprint table in the Garden to unlock this achievement.

Bridge builder

The bridge is located to the west, repairing it (6 x Flitch, 3 x Wooden plank, 10 x Nails) unlocks the achievement and access to the Swamp.

His house

Once you meet the requirements set by the BIshop, you’ll need a total of 23 Silver and 50 Copper for all necessary documents. After providing the Bishop with the Building permission, the achievement will unlock.

Note: You cannot preach until you buy Rightful citizen papers!

The Mill

The Mill is located to the north of the Farmer’s house, repairing it unlocks the achievement (5 x Complex parts, 6 x Wooden plank, 1 x Calculation papers).

Note: The Calculation papers take a long time to get, you’ll have to advance several questlines to obtain it from the Astrologer.

Marble

Once you unlock the Quarry, you’ll be able to build the Marble quarry there (12 x Flitch, 4 x Simple iron parts, 4 x Nails). Walk up to the marble wall and do that to unlock the achievement.

Note: The achievement requires you to build the regular Marble quarry, not the zombie one.

Stone fence

Pretty self-explanatory. You’ll need to fix the fence first (10 x Nails, 10 x Wooden plank, 6 x Piece of stone) and then build the stone fence (24 x Polished brick of stone, 2 x Carved piece of stone, 12 x Complex iron parts) to unlock the achievement.

Note: In order to fix the fence and build the stone one, you’ll need to gain access to the west side of the Graveyard from the Inquisitor first.

His mansion

Once you meet the requirements set by the BIshop, you’ll need 3 Golden-star Carved pieces of marble to upgrade the Church and unlock the achievement.

Read only if you own the Game of Crone DLC:
Tip: The Refugee camp’s questline rewards you with exactly 3 Golden-star Carved pieces of marble pretty early.

Crafting:

Golden pumpkin

Buy either Bronze-star Pumpkin seeds or Silver-star Pumpkin seeds (at tier III) from the Farmer. Next, use the Quality fertilizer I (or Quality fertilizer II if you are able to craft it) until you start receiving Gold-star Pumpkins, which will unlock the achievement. I also recommend to continue growing more Gold-star Pumpkins, in order to sell them in crates later.

Tip: Store a couple of Gold-star Pumpkins for quests.

Winemaker

If your Merchant is at tier III, you can buy Gold-star Grape seeds immediately. If not, buy the lower quality ones and gradually improve them by applying Quality fertilizer I (or Quality fertilizer II).

Incremental:

Burying

Novice gravedigger

Advanced gravedigger

Shovel master

Tip: You can exhume and then bury the same body in order to unlock the achievements fast. It will still yield Burial certificates each time. An Exhumation permission costs 1 Silver 75 Copper, which means that you only lose 25 Copper each time.

Meat

First slice

Sashimi master

Extract Meat from time to time (as it removes one White Skull). You’ll need it for Burgers anyway, the achievements will unlock along the way.

Cooking

Kitchen boy

Cook

Chef

You’ll need a total of:
– 5 Edible mushrooms,
– 11 Red apple (from wild apple trees around the Village and the Lighthouse),
– 12 Berry (from wild berry bushes around the Garden and the Church),
– 10 Carrot,
– 9 Cabbage,

Stash the ingredients in a seperate trunk until you complete the list.

Next, cook every single meal from each of the following sets:
– Simple and Tasty
– Vegetable Dishes
– Jelly, includes Berry juice
– Bread
– Fish Dishes
– Sweet Baking (purchased from Ms Charm)
– Soups (obtained from Clotho)
– Egg Dishes
– Good Carbs (obtained from the Woodcutter)
– Pies (purchased from Ms Charm)
– Meat Fiesta
– Cake+ (obtained from Dig)
Voilà!

Note: The DLCs add some recipes that make it even easier to complete these achievements.

Fishing

A fish a day!

Fish collector

Ichthyologist

Brutal fisherman

There are lots of fishing guides[graveyardkeeper.fandom.com], even here on Steam. Check them out!

Note: If you followed my initial tip, you shouldn’t have much problem with the last achievement. If you didn’t… well… That’s gonna take some time, good luck!

Alchemy

Apprentice

Alchemist

Master alchemist

There’s a total of 26 alchemy recipes (10 for Alchemy Workbench tier I, and 16 for Alchemy Workbench tier II). Check the Graveyard Keeper’s wiki[graveyardkeeper.fandom.com] and start crafting!

Note: You should have lots of different types of powders thanks to the Dungeon. Those are going to come in handy with the recipes.

Dungeon

Not far from the ground

Scary dungeon depths

Nothing underneath

Pretty self-explanatory. To continue further from the 11th level blockage, you’ll need to complete a few quests from Snake.

Tip: At some point, it’s worth buying the Damask sword with a gem from Koukol (found next to the Mountain Fort at night) for 1 Gold 50 Silver, it one-shots most of the enemies.

Points

Just red points

More red points!

Just green points

More green points!

Just blue points

More blue points!

Tip: Once you have a steady source of income, start buying all of the point books from the Astrologer every week. Other than that, always use the Circumspect buff (from cakes) when researching.

Supertip: Craft Stone grave fences! You basically exchange 2 Pieces of stone and some energy for 5 Blue points, each. It’s also possible to recycle them and receive one Piece of stone back.

Ultratip: Setup your Zombies at the Quarry (2 miners, 2 portiers and 1 stone cutter). Craft lots of Stone grave fences, put them all in an empty trunk afterwards. Make one of your yard Zombies a professional recycler, and… repeat for infinite stone and lots of Blue points!

Miscellaneous:

Health care

Drink 50 Health potions. The ones you loot in the Dungeon count as well.

Tastes like home

Buy a Fish nugget from Horadric (at the Dead Horse tavern) and eat it to unlock the achievement.

MacPlayer

Die 10 times. Anything goes.

Gold fish

You’ll need a lot of luck! Other than that: an Excellent fishing rod (5 Silver) and a Lure with a gem (5 Silver) from the Lighthouse Keeper (at tier III).

There’s a 5% chance to catch it during the night, and a 2% chance during the day. Fortunately, fishing seems to freeze the time, so if you fish without pauses it’ll be night for as long as you need.

Stranger Sins (DLC)

Quest-related:

Landlord

The mound with cognac that Gerry asks you to dig up is located directly north of Dig’s barrel.
It looks like this:

There are also several other mounds around the area, they contain crafting materials.

Once you go through a few more errands, Horadric will offer you the land for 30 Silver. Purchasing the land unlocks the achievement.

Talking Skull

Following Horadric’s advice, you’ll be visiting Cory. You can choose between the two following options:
– Supplying him with materials (12 x Simple iron parts, 12 x Wooden plank, 12 x Nails, 50 Silver)
– Paying him (2 Gold)
After you choose, you’ll have to go to sleep. The achievement will unlock once you wake up.

Employee of the month

Craft the Barman doll at Carpenter’s workbench II (4 x Wooden plank, 4 x Complex iron parts, 2 x Wooden beam) and take it back to the Talking Skull tavern’s bar (you can teleport while carrying it, or use the underground passage). After a brief conversation with Yorick, the achievement will unlock.

Forward to the past

The achievement unlocks after feeding the archaeological time machine with the first Artifact, the Statuette.

Tavern:

Tip: An efficient way of filling up the Reputation bar and making money in the mean time:

Prepare:
• Three (or more) 40% efficiency Zombies,
• Lots of Gold-star Grape seeds (from the Merchant) and Gold-star Hops seeds (from Quality Fertilizing Hops)

Do:
• Put one (or more) at a Zombie vineyard (upgraded to tier III) and queue it up,
• Put one at a Zombie-winery and queue it up,
• Put one at a Zombie-brewery and queue it up,
• Transport Gold-star Grapes and Gold-star Hops between the Vineyard and the Cellar,
• Transport Gold-star Red wine and Gold-star Beer between the Cellar and the Talking Skull tavern

This should provide you with steady income and keep your Reputation bar filled.

Also, you can improve it even further by adding a portier to transport the alcohol immediately after it’s crafted.
