ROOTS UPDATE Achievements guide

(Zombies do not appear on Tenderfoot difficulty)

"Climb past the ROOTS."

You'll receive this achievement by reaching the bonfire on top of the mountain in the ROOTS biome.

"Climb past the ROOTS without ever having more than 25% spores."

Spore damage can be obtained from a zombie attack, walking through a spore mist, touching an explosive mushroom, or eating a shroomberry, so if you want to earn this achievement - avoid all of the listed here.

"Escape a spider's web and survive."

Find a spider, stand under it, wait for it to grab you, spin its web, and start rapidly pressing the SPACEBAR to escape the web.
Spiders react to the skeletons, coming down and trying to grab them, but not pulling them up. So, scout-skeleton loses its balance under the spider, but doesn't get caught in the web.

The achievement is earned when you move away from the spider after escaping it, just like the MEGAENTOMOLOGY BADGE achievement

If you're afraid of spiders and/or other insects, you can activate the Bug phobia mode in the accessibility section of the settings menu.

"Cure yourself from a zombie bite."

While traveling through ROOTS, you can see a lying orange scout. When you get close enough, he will get up and start chasing you in order to bite you.

If the zombie manages to bite you, you will be infected with the zombie virus and, in case of death, your corpse will turn into a zombie and start chasing your comrades.

If you're a skeleton - the zombie will attack you, cause damage, but will not be able to infect you with the virus

To cure yourself from the zombie virus, it is enough to use any healing item.

"Try all 5 types of Shroomberry in a single expedition."

There are 5 shroomberries in the ROOT biome - red, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Eat them all in one expedition to get the achievement.

Each shroomberry restores 10 hunger points, but has an additional effect that shuffles between them daily.

List of possible effects:

• healing + more hunger relief;
  
• explosive fart (3 s after eating);
  
• 1 min blindness, (3 s after eating);
  
• 5 spore damage + loss of balance for 8 s (3 s after eating);
  
• 4 seconds of infinite energy, as after the Big Lollipop (3 s after eating);
  
• creates a mini-tornado at your feet for 15 s, making a low-gravity effect (3 s after eating);
  
• invulnerability for 9 seconds (immediately after eating);
  
• speed up for 6 seconds, (3 s after eating);
  
• creates mini-tornado at your feet, making you fly;
  
• makes the stamina bar temporarily invisible.

"Pull an unconscious friend 30m with the Rescue Claw."

In the comments there is evidence that this achievement was obtainable during a solo game

Just confirmed you can actually get this solo with an unconscious zombie.

Just lead them into one of the large exploding spore balls to knock them out and then drag them along the ground and it unlocked for me

"Block 100 total damage with the Fortified Milk."

Drink milk and take damage while your protection lasts.

"Eat 3 Hot Dogs in 5 seconds or less."

"Resurrect a friend using unholy means."

Use the Book of Bones to resurrect a comrade, but know that he will no longer be the same as he was before his death.

Turning into a skeleton has a number of effects (skeletons are immune to hunger, burns, frostbite, spores, and poison, but are more susceptible to fall damage, die instantly from lava and from explosions of dynamite and some other objects, during cooking)

However, if you able to get another Book of Bones - you can become a regular scout again, of flesh and blood

"Bounce up 40m off a mushroom."

Climb the pine tree as high as you can and jump down towards the red mushroom with white spots - if you jumped from a high enough height, the achievement will be obtained after landing on the mushroom.

Don't be afraid to take damage from the fall - these mushrooms work like trampolines.

You can use tools(rescue claw, bunches of baloons) to to gain altitude

I found a cheese for the Myroacrobatics badge just now. While bouncing on a mushroom, use the rescue claw to grapple onto a ledge above you while at the peak of your jump.

"Cook and eat a Mandrake."


In the ROOTS biome, medicinal roots grow here and there, but there is a chance that instead of a medicinal root you'll collect mandrake.

The difficulty of this task is that the mandrake's scream tires everyone around, so in order to cook it you need to have a portable stove or being a skeleton and take it to the campfire.

To avoid feeling sleepy from the mandrake's scream, you can reduce the SFX volume to zero in the game settings.
Muting the game sound or turning off the speakers does not work.


In the comments there is evidence that this achievement can be easier to obtain, using bug:

Another note, don't know if it's intentional. If you're having trouble with the mandrake root one, and don't have a portable stove, if you have an empty inventory slot you can grab the mandrake WHILE CLIMBING and it goes into your inventory but won't scream unless you hold it in your hands. This allows you to get to a campfire without it screaming in your ear.
