  1. Story pass: complete the island hand-ins through We are so back while protecting every named boss body and trophy.
  2. Gear pass: complete one firearm's attachment slots, finish the engine chain and keep a reliable late-game weapon for boss speed kills.
  3. Collection pass: compare the in-game Tab encyclopedia with Collector, then farm the separate rare Drip variants for Fishipedia.
  4. Skill pass: revisit weak Lighthouse or Forest targets for 360 no scope, Impressive, Easy and the remaining physics challenges.
  5. Dedicated speedrun: attempt Bean on a rehearsed route without optional bosses, gambling or collection detours.
The browser checklist is not proof of a Steam unlock

Progress stays on this device. If Steam and the checklist disagree, treat Steam and the in-game encyclopedia as authoritative.

Achievement FAQ

Short answers before the grind

These answers are included in the visible page and its FAQ structured data.

How many achievements are in How to Fish?

How to Fish currently has 28 Steam achievements. This checklist is verified for Patch 1.0.10 and groups them into story, combat, collection, equipment and physics categories.

Does this achievement tracker connect to Steam?

No. Ticked achievements are saved only in this browser with localStorage. The tracker never reads or changes a Steam account, so compare it with your Steam achievement page before a completion run.

Collector covers the required base creature set, including optional boss-lure encounters. Fishipedia is the separate cleanup for rare rainbow-named Drip variants shown in the in-game encyclopedia.

How do I unlock Fully equipped?

Install a non-default optic, damage part, muzzle, laser and extended magazine on the same eligible firearm. Check every attachment slot on one weapon rather than spreading parts across several guns.

What should I know before attempting Bean?

Bean requires the completed story in under one hour. Treat it as a practiced progression-only run, avoid optional collection detours and make sure the ending sequence completes before saved playtime reaches 60 minutes.
