Completion route
Plan around systems, not rarity
Current Japanese completion guides report one-playthrough completion and no time-limited trophies. Seasonal activities can be retried in a later cycle, and postgame cleanup remains available.
Story-safe start
Rule I–VIII and the story-clear achievement are listed without exposing major ending details. Use the Walkthrough when you want spoiler-aware timing.
Festival calendar
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter each have one achievement. See the Festivals Guide for dates and activity mechanics.
Postgame cleanup
You do not need to finish the list before the ending. Use the Endings Guide and Missables for recovery and cleanup planning.

Meteorite tools

Watering CanMeteorite tier applies

AxeMeteorite tier applies
PickaxeMeteorite tier applies
PlowMeteorite tier applies
Sickle, Bow and Flashlight are not part of this metal-upgrade family. Open Meteorite Tools, Tool Upgrades, Furnace and Mining for the source mechanics.
100% roadmap
A practical completion order
This is editorial organization, not a guaranteed hour count or a hard progression lock.

02
Seasonal cleanup
Four festival achievements, seasonal items, Lost Books and fishing or hunting routes.

Common mistakes
Keep separate systems separate
✓Divinely Blessed means all Shrine offerings, not all Shrine Skills.
✓Kiki Delivery Service means all Chief Deliveries, not 100 villager Requests.
✓As You Wish is the 100 ordinary villager Requests achievement.
✓Astral Fragments does not create Meteorite Sickle, Bow or Flashlight tiers.
✓Birdwatcher counts wild-bird drops; it is not automatically a Bird Bath-only requirement.
✓Cataloger requires the complete Catalog, not merely the 1,000-entry milestone.
Long-term grind
Keep these totals moving
These are objective accumulation goals, not a difficulty ranking.
¥10,000,000 total shipment value
10,000 harvested crops
10,000 grass or weeds
1,000 trees or logs
1,000 boulders
1,000 animal products
500 workbench crafts
500 Magatama pickups
Shipment achievements use cumulative shipment value rather than requiring the same amount in your wallet. Catalog milestones are 300, 500, 1,000 and the full Catalog; see the Catalog completion guide for the 2,428-entry cleanup route.
Troubleshooting
When an achievement does not unlock
- Check the exact Steam condition in the card above, including counts and the Village in the Shade Mode requirement.
- Confirm that you completed the action itself: 300 fish caught is not 41 unique fish, and 100 bow hunts is not 100 traps.
- Update the game and retry. Patch 1.08 historically fixed a network-related achievement unlock bug; it is historical context, not a claim that the current game version is 1.08.
- This guide does not promise that an old failed trigger will unlock retroactively.
FAQ
Achievement questions
How many achievements are in Village in the Shade?
The current Steam version has 52 achievements.
Are any achievements permanently missable?
Current Japanese completion research reports no time-limited trophies and says the set can be completed in one playthrough. This is completion-guide evidence rather than an official first-party guarantee.
Can I finish achievements after the ending?
Yes. Clear-data continuation supports postgame cleanup, and current completion research notes that the Catalog can still be completed after story clear.
How many Festival achievements are there?
Four: one for each seasonal festival—Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
What are the Festival achievement requirements?
Spring requires a 15-shot-per-player badminton rally; Summer requires 10 purchases; Autumn requires successfully roasting a Sweet Potato; Winter requires successfully making mochi.
What does Kiki Delivery Service require?
Complete all Village Chief / Chief Residence deliveries. It is not the 100 ordinary villager Requests achievement.
What does Divinely Blessed require?
Complete all Shrine offerings. It does not mean buying every Shrine Skill.
How do I unlock Imagine the Late Fees...?
Collect all Lost Books. The complete collection can require postgame cleanup, but individual Lost Books are not all postgame-only.
What tools count for Astral Fragments?
Upgrade every tool with a canonical Meteorite tier: Watering Can, Hoe, Axe, Pickaxe, Plow. Sickle, Bow and Flashlight do not gain invented Meteorite tiers.
How many requests are needed for As You Wish?
Complete 100 ordinary villager requests. Do not count Chief Deliveries or Helping Tickets unless the game explicitly reports them as ordinary requests.
Are festival achievements permanently missable?
Current completion research treats seasonal festivals as returning activities rather than permanent one-time locks. Use the Festivals guide for the calendar and activity rules.
What is needed for 100% completion?
Unlock all 52 Steam achievements, including the long-term counters, full Catalog, Chief Deliveries, Lost Books, Shrine offerings, applicable Meteorite tools and all-villager relationship completion.
Is there an achievement for all Shrine Skills?
Do not treat the Shrine-offering achievement as all 80 Shrine Skills. Those are separate systems until stronger evidence proves otherwise.
What if an achievement does not unlock?
Recheck the exact condition, update the game and retry. Patch 1.08 historically fixed a network-related achievement unlock bug; this guide does not promise retroactive unlocks.
For Workbench craft counting and the separate 50-structure Builder boundary, see the Workbench Guide. For the separate game-internal cumulative conditions and Award/mail boundaries, see Milestone Awards & Rewards. The 500 forageable condition is expanded in Foraging & Wild Plants. The 100 collected Wild Bird Drop condition is expanded in Wild Birds & Bird Drops. For ER Regular's Clinic-wake-up semantics, use the Clinic & Fainting Guide.
