Introduction

Note: There have been look-a-like copycat guides popping up. If it's not labeled by THN (The Horror Network), it's NOT one of mine and therefore not up to the quality that I aim to provide.

Welcome to the Skyhill achievement guide.

As far as achievements go, this game isn't incredibly difficult when aiming for completion. The only really hard achievement is the one for completing the game on Hardcore mode, but once you get the hang of the game this will become somewhat easier.

Remember that crafting is essential for survival, and you shouldn't rely on just using the weapons and food that you pick up from exploration. Crafting these items into more powerful weapons and filling foods will make them stretch much further.

Story Related

Beware, do not be fooled by these achievements being "story related". Almost all of them can be missed, and many cannot be obtained within one playthrough.

Glass Is Half....
Reach the 50th floor
Not too difficult. Just make sure to explore as many rooms as you can, and remember to spend your skill points when you level up. You should make it here without dying easily.

Survivalist
Reach level 7 with your character
This will come with time as you make your descent down the apartment complex.

Survivor?
Complete the game
Just remember to always craft your items and upgrade your workbenches at your apartment. Keep an eye on your health, any time you are at 50% or lower health, use a healing item. Ensure to upgrade your weapons based on where you are putting your skill points; for example, the speed skill will give bonus damage to lighter, fast weapons. If you have any issue with completing the game, try it on easy first and give it a couple of playthroughs while taking your time.

Oblivion
Get secret ending
When you reach the first floor, you will see a computer on the left side. When you use the computer, there will be a text document. Open the document and you will be prompted to enter a password. The password is mr.wgmthooh. Enter this password and a long text dialogue will happen. Once it's over, exit the computer and then exit the building. This will stack with the Survivor? achievement.

Special Guest
Get alternative ending
You will need to obtain all four picture pieces in one playthrough to get this ending. Make sure that you check every item in every room to get all of the picture fragments. Once you get them, head back to your apartment and craft the picture. Do NOT go for Oblivion if you manage to get all of the picture fragments, as that ending will come instead of this one. This will stack with the Survivor? achievement.

Master Survivalist
Complete the game on Hardcore
To unlock Hardcore mode, you must first beat the game on hard mode. Hard mode isn't that much more difficult than say, easy mode. The monsters just have a bit more health and they hit a slight bit harder. I'm not sure what the difference between hard and Hardcore is, I will update this section with more information once I get there.

Combat Related

Wrestler
Kill an enemy with your bare hands
Start a new game on easy. The very first monster will be on the 98th floor. Simply kill it with no weapons equipped, and the achievement is yours.

Close Shave
Win a battle with 5 or less health
You may get this the legitimate way, but attempt to face off against the earlier monsters without a weapon and without healing. You should be able to get it that way. However, it will most likely come during one of your playthroughs.

Cleaning Service
Kill 10 enemies in the row with a mop
You should be able to craft the mop early on in the game. Craft it, and beat 10 enemies in a row with it; meaning, do not change your weapon until the achievement unlocks. Best done on easy.

Wait...How Do I Do That?
Score a critical hit for 60+ damage
You will need Strength of between 12-16 for this achievement, as well as a moderate level crafted item. I got it with the Glaive.

Jet Lee
Dodge three hits in a row
This is mostly luck and RNG based. I have had upwards to 20+ Dexterity and still have not gotten this achievement, stats do not seem to matter.

Unfair Fight
Fight two enemies in one combat and win
Another achievement that will come at random. You will face monsters that will run away, sometimes these monsters will run away to other rooms that have another monster in them. This means that you will need to check nearly all rooms. Take them both on and net this achievement.

Outta My Way!
One-shot the parasite
The Parasite is rare. It will spawn once you have slain your enemy. It is a pink slug looking thing. It spawned for me from one of the big fat guys. If you are farming this achievement, make sure to have the perk equipped that allows you to one-shot an enemy.

On the Subject of Death...

Get Used to It!
Die
There's no real way around this one... you will eventually die.

Bad Habit
Die 20 times
You will most likely get this while going for other achievements. If you don't, start your game on hard or hardcore and fight monsters with your bare hands.

Are You Serious?!
Die 100 times
Unless you plan to spend hours upon hours playing through Skyhill, you'll need to grind this one out. Start on hard or hardcore and fight monsters with your bare hands.

Are You Kiddin' Me?
Die in any of the first 10 floors
I sincerely hope that no one has to go through getting this on a legitimate run. I do not recommend aiming for this when you have other end game achievements to accomplish.

Random Events

As the section title indicates, these events are random. This is a rogue-like, after all. None of these events are guaranteed to occur, and as such you will need multiple playthroughs in order to obtain the achievements.

Socialization
Read three SMS
This one is the most likely to occur. Any time you see a phone laying on the ground, click on it to read the text message. They will make a loud buzzing noise, you really can't miss the cell phones. Generally, if you see one phone, you will see at least two more throughout the course of your play time. Just make sure to enter all rooms.

Survival TV
Turn on the TV
This one is also most likely to occur more often. There's only one TV in the whole game, and you can interact with it. When you enter the room, a light will burst and go out. Flip on the TV after that happens. It's impossible to miss if you use your right mouse button (or spacebar) to highlight what objects you can interact with.

Last Whisper
Release the hangman
When I found him, he was being guarded by one of the really fat monsters. I'm not sure if that's random, but just be prepared for a battle at any time. There will be a man hanging from a noose from the ceiling. When you find him, click him and the game will zoom in on a close up. Click him again to make him fall. Click him again to remove whatever item he may have with him when he falls to the floor.

Scavenger
Loot the dead bird
A bird will crash into a window in one of the rooms, just listen for a window breaking when you enter the room. You will then be able to pick an object up off of the floor. This event can happen multiple times in one playthrough.

Office Routine
Print the document
There will be a room with a computer in it (NOT the bottom floor). Once you find this room, click on the computer and click on the recycling bin. It will cause a document to appear on the desktop. Click the document, and then click "print".

Mutual Benefit
Barter something with the old man
You will encounter an old man in a room, he will be siting on a chair. Chat with him and he will want to barter. He wants something different each time you encounter him; anything from Boiled Rice to a high tier weapon such as the Chain Sword.

Legendary Hero
Follow the legend
You will find a vibrating cell phone, and you will receive a text message from someone named "Witness". Each text message will give a floor location. Be sure to check each room on the floors that are texted to you. When you get to the final location, you will receive the achievement.

Artificial Intelligence
Chat with the computer
You will find a computer in a room. On the computer will be a file. Click the file to open it, and the computer will start asking you questions to which you can only respond by typing Y for yes or N for no and then pressing enter. It doesn't matter how you respond. Follow the prompts and at the end you will get the achievement.

Security Guard
Check the cameras
You will come to a room that has a very large desk with multiple screens. Click on the desk and you will see a close-up of the screens. Simply exit this screen and the achievement will pop.

Perks

If you die during your initial playthrough, you will unlock roughly half of the perks. Once you complete the entire game (on any difficulty), the remainder of the perks will unlock.

Barlon Mrando
Use Retro Cinema perk
Start a new game on easy and equip yourself with the Retro Cinema perk. Your game will be in black and white, and you will have old time music playing. The achievement will automatically unlock after the initial loading screen.

Do You Believe in Luck?
Use Lucky B a s t a r d perk
Start a new game on easy and equp yourself with the Lucky B a s t a r d perk. You must be in combat to use it, so head down to the 98th floor. Once you're engaged in combat, click the perk (in the upper left hand corner of the screen, beside your health and food bars). You will one-shot the monster.

I Can't Remember....
Use Amnesia perk
Start a new game on easy and equip yourself with the Amnesia perk. Now, you will need to spend 50 turns in order to activate the perk. What I did, was I walked back and forth on the 99th level of the apartment complex until my Hunger was at 0. I used the food and bandages found on said floor to sustain me and I went to the 98th level, fought the monster, and used the supplies on that floor. I kept walking until I used up all 50 turns. Then, you must click on the perk (upper left hand corner, beside your health and food bars). It will automatically transport you to level 50.

Push the Button!
Use Mysterious Device perk
Start a new game on easy and equip yourself with the Mysterious Device perk. You will see the perk in the upper left hand corner of the screen, beside your health and food gauges. Click on the perk and the achievement will unlock.

Second Wind
Use Hard Times perk
Start a new game on easy and equip yourself with the Hard Times perk. You will see the perk in the upper left hand corner of the screen, beside your health and food gauges. Click on the perk and the achievement will unlock.

Deduction
Use Deductive Method perk
Start a new game on easy and equip yourself with the Deductive Method perk. You will see the perk in the upper left hand corner of the screen, beside your health and food gauges. Click on the perk and the achievement will unlock.

Crafting

Remember that many items, such as nails, cables, generators, etc., can be crafted as well. You do not necessarily need to find them around the apartment complex.

Bright Mind
Craft any weapon
Simply craft any weapon.

Papa Will be Proud!
Upgrade your Workbench to max level
To upgrade your Workbench to max level, you will need the following items:
1 scrap metal, 1 piece of wood, 1 nails, 1 wire, 1 gear, 1 generator.

Panacea
Cure a poisoning
As early on as you can, craft an antidote. There will be a chance that monsters will throw up all over you and cause you to be poisoned. The poison will cause you to lose 1 health point per turn, so it's always good to have one of these on hand. However, there's a chance that the monsters will never throw up on you. So this will be "luck" based.

Assistant
Craft three medium medkits
Save all of your healing items that are required for this achievement. If you are in dire need of medical help, head to your apartment and craft the medium medkit before using the required items. NOTE: This does NOT have to be done in one playthrough.

Bellissimo!
Upgrade your Kitchen to max level and cook something
To upgrade your Kitchen to max level, you will need the following items:
1 stick, 2 bricks, 1 wire, 1 nails and 1 battery.
Once you've completely upgraded your kitchen, simply craft a food item.

Bad Neighborhood
Upgrade your Door to max level
In order to upgrade your Door to max level, you will need the following items:
1 stick, 1 nails, 1 barbed wire, 1 scrap metal.

Sleepyhead
Upgrade your Bed to max level
In order to upgrade your Bed to max level, you will need the following items:
1 piece of wood, 1 tape, 2 rags, 2 wires, 1 nails.

Wonderful Mechanic
Fix the elevator without any items
From time to time you will come to a floor with a red flashing light and a broken Elevator Panel. If you do not have any crafting materials in your inventory, you will be forced to fix the panel with your blood, sweat and tears. So in short, use up all of your crafting materials before trying for this achievement. If you fail, it will use up a lot of your hunger bar. Keep trying until you succeed.

Praise the Sun!
Fix all panels during one playthrough
This isn't exactly difficult, but it can be tedious, and it will eat up your resources for upgrading your Kitchen, Door, Bed and Workbench. Simply save all of your crafting materials (except for crafting one really good weapon) for upgrading the Elevator Panels that you will come across. If you do not have any materials, keep attempting to fix them without resources or come back them when you do have some materials.

Misc.

Indigestion
Get food-poisoning
During the course of your playthrough, you will come across many expired foods. Simply eat one and you will net this achievement.

Vegan
Complete the game only eating vegan food
This will be somewhat difficult, so I recommend a playthrough on easy if you're going for this achievement. You can NOT eat any of the following food items:
Meat, Fish, Cheese, Dairy, Eggs, C o c ktails.

Intruder
Open card lock
You will find various blue keycards throughout the game. Some rooms that you will come to will require these keycards rather than traditional keys. Simply have a keycard on hand and open one of the doors that requires it. The keycards can also be crafted.

Secret Files
Collect all notes in the game
You will find notes randomly throughout the game. These notes are randomized, and you will get different notes on each playthrough. You will not be able to attain all notes in one single playthrough of the game, so this achievement may take some time. There are a total of 52 notes to collect.

I've Seen Everything!
Explore every room in one playthrough
This achievement can be extremely irritating, depending on how many locked doors you have in your playthrough. For example, I explored every available room in one of my playthroughs, however I had something insane like 10 locked doors and only had 3 keys given to me throughout the game. Make sure you are well stocked on food and craft a great weapon early on to make the exploration easier and quicker, and then pray to the RNG gods for minimal locked doors and abundances of keys. As well, once you complete the game, you will unlock a perk that allows you to unlock doors without a key. You can only use this perk once every 100 turns, so make it count. NOTE: You do NOT have to kill the monsters in the rooms for them to be counted as explored.

Wrap Up

Good luck in your achievement hunting!

The British Wolf 18 Apr @ 5:03pm

Few things I can add after playing this:
1) Notes seem to appear more on Hardcore. It could just be luck of the draw, but I found more than on Easy. However, the harder the game, the more likely the monsters will strike you the second you enter the room, putting you at a disadvantage before you even attack.
2) Only fat monsters seem to spawn parasites.
3) "Are you kidding me!?" seems bust. I've died three times in the first 10 floors, still bupkis. I would advise folk to try it and, if it fails, just alter the achievement flag. You earned it anyway, not your fault the code is glitchy.
4) Total Mess helps get the picture pieces faster, I got 3 within the first 15 floors, BUT you can also LOSE the pieces (they respawn). As soon as you have all four, make the picture. So long as you get the "Revelation" pop up, the ending will trigger.
5) Odds of finding the Y/N computer, the camera room, the hanged man and the trader in the same run is slim. Trader and Hanged seem most common.

V-Reznov 8 Jan @ 1:15pm

My tip for dying 100 times is taking "addicted" perk and mash LMB between two rooms, it's faster than fighting monsters in my opinion. Thanks for the guide!

Decker 11 May, 2024 @ 7:40pm

I got both Bad Neighborhood and Sleepyhead by simply starting the game with the Silver Spoon perk.

Plevel 16 Feb, 2024 @ 1:07pm

hmm weird.. died twice (once easy, once hard) within 3 or 4 floors but still no Are you kiddin' me achievement

eishiya 27 Aug, 2023 @ 6:44pm

Minor correction for the "Special Guest" achievement: You don't have to go to your room to craft the picture, it can be crafted anywhere.
It might be a good idea to save crafting it until you're on floor 2: If something causes you to lose an item, it's better to lose one piece than the whole thing (pieces can drop again if you lose them).

nice

syum90 24 Jan, 2023 @ 2:53am

Thank you very much, THN. Very appreciated :-)

The Horror Network [author] 23 Jan, 2023 @ 5:41pm

I will! Thank you.

syum90 20 Jan, 2023 @ 2:11pm

Hi again, THN. I've just published the guide, I hope you visit it when you can. Regards.

syum90 17 Jan, 2023 @ 12:16am

Hi THN, and thanks for writing amazing guides, I've enjoyed getting the achievements following this guide. Now I'm writing my guide in Spanish, inspired in yours. While it has the same structure it is not a direct translation, it contains my own thoughts and explanations, based on my experience getting the achievements. I would be very pleased if you could see it and ideally make some suggestion. I would like to add you as a collaborator so you could review my guide before I publish it. Thanks regards.
