Achievements Guide

Welcome to Elderfield ships with 51 Steam achievements. Chasing 100% is much easier once you stop treating them as 51 separate objectives — a large chunk of the list runs on cumulative progression chains for crops, animal products, gold, deaths, relationships, blessings, and difficulty clears. Work on those long tracks while you explore and fight, and 100% completion follows naturally. The full PC game is dated September 10, 2026 on Steam. This page uses the complete achievement list from the 1.0 build.

Best approach: start the grinds immediately

The achievement list has five massive numerical chains:

  • Crops: 1 → 100 → 1,000 → 10,000 harvested crops.
  • Animal products: 50 → 500 → 5,000.
  • Gold: 1,000 → 10,000 → 100,000 → 1,000,000 total earned.
  • Deaths: 1 → 10 → 100.
  • Hearts: 10 with one character → 10 with all characters.

Do not save these for last. Farm every day. Collect every milk and egg. Let gold accumulate through normal play. Die naturally — the game provides plenty of opportunities. By the time you finish the interesting objectives, the grinds should already be behind you.

The jump from 1,000 to 10,000 crops is enormous. Keep harvesting throughout your playthrough rather than grinding it at the end.

All four milestones track total gold earned across your entire save, not gold sitting in your inventory at any moment.

Stone Tower achievements — the final six

The Stone Tower accounts for six achievements tied to difficulty clears.

AchievementRequirement
Cozy TowerClear The Stone Tower on Cozy or higher
Easy TowerClear The Stone Tower on Easy or higher
Normal TowerClear The Stone Tower on Normal or higher
Hard TowerClear The Stone Tower on Hard or higher
Nightmare TowerClear The Stone Tower on Nightmare
Custom TowerClear The Stone Tower on Custom difficulty

The first four achievements are nested: clearing on Nightmare satisfies Cozy, Easy, Normal, and Hard simultaneously. Custom difficulty requires a separate clear. Full Stone Tower guide is on the secrets and endgame page.

100% roadmap

  1. Start long chains immediately: farm every day, collect animal products, earn gold naturally, build relationships, let deaths accumulate.
  2. Complete every named boss kill as you explore.
  3. Rotate Old Gods every Sunday for Zealot.
  4. Build five-stack blessing and curse setups for God Mode and Haggard.
  5. Finish Elderfield High, the Art Gallery, the Fishing Contest, and special objectives.
  6. Check remaining achievements by chain rather than one at a time.
  7. Clear Stone Tower on your highest viable difficulty, then on Custom.

This approach does not remove the grind. It prevents the worst version: finishing everything interesting and then discovering you still need thousands of crop harvests left.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

How many achievements does Welcome to Elderfield have?

51 Steam achievements. They group into cumulative chains for crops, animal products, gold, deaths, and hearts, plus boss kills, Old God alignments, and difficulty clears.

What is the hardest achievement to get?

Green Soul (10,000 crop harvests) and Animal Fanatic (5,000 animal products) are the longest grinds. Start them early and let them run through normal play.

How do I get the 'Savior of Elderfield' achievement?

Slay the Emissary of Xxarteck, the final boss at the top of the Stone Tower. Full walkthrough: secrets and endgame.

Does 'Filthy Rich' require 1 million gold at once?

No. It tracks total gold earned across your entire save, not the balance at any one time. Keep earning and it unlocks naturally.

Do Stone Tower difficulty achievements stack?

Cozy, Easy, Normal, and Hard are nested — a Nightmare clear counts for all four. Nightmare and Custom require their own separate clears.

How do I get the Art Gallery achievements?

Collect key items throughout the game to fill the gallery rooms. Art Restoration unlocks after one full room; Supporting Arts & Culture requires completing the entire gallery. The gallery produces a key for the final boss.
