If you’re aiming to fully complete Grimshire without spoiling the story or key events, this guide covers every achievement—main and extra—while keeping the narrative intact. I finished everything across three playthroughs and documented the cleanest route to help others do the same with less backtracking and stress.
Grimshire Achievement Guide 100% & Beginner Guide Wiki
- Expect 2–3 playthroughs depending on your choices and how thoroughly you plan.
- No villagers should die if you’re aiming for the final achievement.
- I strongly recommend playing on Easy-Peasy mode for your 100% run—it makes resource and food management far less punishing.
- Upgrade your tools early, store spare resources, and check for critters often!
General Tips Before You Start
- Tool upgrades are essential:
- Watering Can → Multi-tile watering.
- Axe → Needed for hardwood.
- Access to the 3rd mine cave (Mountain area) is required for some tasks.
- Critter tracking: Talk to Kai at the Hunter’s Hut for daily sightings. Some town projects will require butchering.
- Storage matters: Don’t discard extra materials. Store everything—you’ll need it later.
Playthrough Structure
Playthrough 1: Choose Either Spring Project Path
- Focus on completing the first set of town projects.
- Avoid losing any villagers.
- Keep track of extra achievements and work on them passively.
Playthrough 2: Choose the Alternate Spring Project Path
- Tackle the town projects you skipped in playthrough 1.
- Finish any extras you missed previously.
- Be strategic with skill unlocks and critter breeding.
Playthrough 3 (Optional Cleanup)
- Only if you missed death-based achievements or Twins! luck didn’t work out.

This guide is written to keep the experience spoiler-free while still offering structure. Some achievements will feel more emotional than others, and a few will challenge your resource planning. Don’t be afraid to restart a season if something goes wrong—you’ll thank yourself later.
