[UPDATED] Graveyard Keeper - 100% Achievements Guide (+ DLCs)
Introduction
This guide will provide you with an organized list of all the achievements available in the base game as well as the DLCs together with useful tips, lists, and walk-throughs.
I arranged the achievements to roughly resemble the order in which you will be meeting the NPCs and completing their questlines. Additionally, all references to items, workbenches, locations, NPCs, and game concepts are bolded out to improve the overall readability of the contents.
There are missable achievements!
Unlocking all of the achievements may take up to 70 hours.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments, I will try my best to answer.
To avoid getting locked out of achievements, do not complete any endgame NPC questlines until you have finished all DLC content and any remaining side quests.
Useful tips
- The Iron and Stone outcroppings are finite. Later in the game you will unlock alternative ways of acquiring mined resources. You can also purchase them from Krezvold or Cory (respectively) at any time.
- The bushes do not grow back. You can purchase more Sticks from Tress at any time.
- You can transport more Logs or Blocks by carrying one and pushing a few more with your character.
- Applying Peat before any fertilizers improves the crop yields even further.
- The giant tree in front of your house will not grow back if you cut it down!
- Extract Skulls every once in a while (as it adds a Red skull). You will need at least 25 Skulls for quests.
- Extract Meat from time to time (as it removes a White skull). You will need it for recipes and opening the Buffet tent.
- Burn Bodies regularly. Ash will come in very useful once you unlock alchemy.
- Farm crops every day (and start early). You will need a plethora of vegetables for cooking and quests.
- Craft Peat and Maggots at Compost heap with the use of Crop waste frequently.
- Always use the Circumspect effect (from cakes and pies) when studying new items in a bulk. You will be getting a lot more points that way.
- Fish a lot! There's an achievement to catch a total of 200 fish and doing that in one sitting is extremely tedious (trust me I know). You will thank yourself later.
- Eat Meat, you will need it for Burgers (Buffet tent).
- Discard the various powders looted from the Dungeon, they are essential for alchemy.
- Throw Bodies into the river (except the first time during the quest), it's a waste of Ash.

Just green points
More green points!
Just blue points
More blue points!
You receive points by performing certain actions (e.g. cutting trees, mining ore, harvesting crops), as well as crafting and studying items (at Study table). Out of all three types of points, the Blue points are the most arduous to acquire (check the tips).
Tip: 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. Additionally, always use the Circumspect effect (from cakes and pies) when studying new items.
Ultratip: Set up your Zombies at the Quarry - 2 miners, 2 portiers, and 1 stone cutter (check out this zombie guide). Use the stone brought by the portiers to craft Stone grave fences. Put them all in an empty trunk afterwards. Turn one of your yard Zombies into a professional Stone grave fence recycler and... repeat for infinite stone and lots of Blue points!
WARNING: If you pass the mark of 3000 points with the help of a Techbook (e.g. using a blue Techbook while at 2990 Blue points) the related achievement may become unobtainable. Since the exact nature of the issue is unclear it is safer to obtain the last points by either gathering, crafting, or studying.
