Missable achievements and completion planning
Finish nearby optional tasks before advancing, then use post-game chapter replay for cleanup where it works. Old Bones deserves separate planning: players report that missed rests cannot be combined through chapter select.
Plan the cumulative tasks
- Use every offered rest interaction for Old Bones. “Every opportunity” is official; the single-playthrough rule is player-reported.
- Take photos across the whole game. Focus Finder is 25. Picture Perfect is 50. They are cumulative, not per chapter.
- Find all vignettes for Petal Collector. Use the partial petal list and log your completed memories; no complete verified location set is published here.
- Track ten selfies separately from the 25/50 general photo goals. Completing Sam’s lesson alone is not the ten-selfie condition.
Spoilers: optional tasks by chapter
| Chapter | Task before advancing | Source status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Photograph the curious room objects before leaving | Epic goal; KosGames route |
| 2 | Let Milton finish; inspect optional purchases; return later for his selfie if needed | Epic goals; KosGames replay advice |
| 3 | Nap on the front bench, then investigate Maddy’s bin area | Epic goal; Lurking Lawyer’s TrueAchievements route |
| 5 | Kitchen drawer, garden competition, prompt shooting-star response | Epic goals; KosGames drawer method |
| 6 | Arcade record, history clues, bobblehead, boat rotation, fetch | Epic goals; player location details on the chapter page |
| 7 | Dog photo instead of nest | Epic goal; KosGames camera method |
| 8 | At least 30 dog calls during the climb | Epic goal |
| 9 | Audrey’s home pumpkins | Epic goal; KosGames partial player checklist |
Player-reported rest locations
| Stop | Where the player route says to rest |
|---|---|
| Pump mart | Outside bench; indoor couch |
| Diner | Front-left bench; two benches at the back-right |
| Resort | Ship-deck edge between pier and cannon area |
Keep these rests within one playthrough as a precaution. The official condition does not specify six, and a single playthrough does not mean never pausing or quitting.
Questions
Can I clean up misses after the credits?
GamingTrend confirms chapter select. Check the individual goal before replaying: Old Bones has community warnings, and this page does not guarantee that every goal accumulates across replay.
Should I press New Game for cleanup?
Not without intending to replace your save. GamingTrend reports a single save that New Game overwrites. Try the post-game chapter menu first for a local task.
