Every Smalland Achievement and Trophy Explained

Smalland: Survive the Wilds keeps its achievement list refreshingly approachable. There is no painful grind hiding behind any of them, which means casual players and completionists can both knock the full set out without signing up for a second job.

Below is every achievement currently available, grouped by what you actually need to do to earn it.

Story and Exploration Achievements

Safe!

Climb a tree and claim it. The trick is finding the right tree. Look for a tall one with mushroom pads growing along its trunk. Those pads are the visual cue that it is climbable.

Once you reach the top, look for a gnome statue beside a hot air elevator. Interact with the statue and select "I want to claim this tree." The notification pops the moment you confirm.

If you are still in the early game, save this one until after you unlock the grappling hook. The climb is doable without it, but a lot less forgiving.

Something Wicked

Track down the hidden NPC Tuhala and speak with her. She hangs around Mangrove Beach near the Ruins. Beyond the achievement, Tuhala crafts the Healer's Armor and points you toward the Spider Matriarch boss.

Mastermind

Find Nok, perched on top of a house built from artifacts of the Giants in the Greylands. She crafts the Ironwing Armor set and shares the location of two bosses: the Black Hornet and the King Stag Beetle.

Hang Time

Equip either the Ironwing Armor or the Regal Armor, then glide for the first time. The achievement triggers the moment you catch air.

For the Regal Armor, find and speak with Drustana. Recipes per piece:

• Regal Mantle: 3x Bee Head, 3x Chitin, 3x Textile Patch
• Regal Plate: 10x Insect Wings, 12x Chitin, 6x Textile Patch, 5x Herptile Leather
• Regal Vambraces: 6x Chitin, 3x Textile Patch
• Regal Greaves: 9x Chitin, 3x Textile Patch

For the Ironwing Armor, bring the following materials to Nok:

• Ironwing Helmet: 3x Fiber, 1x Heavy Chitin, 2x Iron Ingot, 2x Charcoal
• Ironwing Breastplate: 6x Fiber, 3x Heavy Chitin, 3x Iron Ingot, 3x Insect Fur, 1x Sapphire Wings, 2x Charcoal
• Ironwing Vambraces: 3x Fiber, 1x Heavy Chitin, 2x Iron Ingot, 2x Charcoal
• Ironwing Greaves: 3x Fiber, 1x Heavy Chitin, 2x Iron Ingot, 2x Charcoal

The Key

Defeat the King Stag Beetle, currently the game's final boss, and grab the Clover Key it drops. Carry it back to the Elder's home and unlock the Walnut Chest. The achievement registers as soon as the chest pops open.

Achievements You Will Earn By Accident

These trigger from normal play, so most players will tick them off without going out of their way:

• One VERY small step: Meet the Elder
• Getting some shuteye: Sleep in a bed
• Stone Age: Collect stone
• Forming bonds: Tame any creature
• Metal Age: Collect a metal piece
• Insect hunter: Collect chitin
• Vertebrate hunter: Collect bones
• Smooth as silk: Collect silk

That covers the full Smalland: Survive the Wilds achievement list as it stands. Most are tied to natural progression, and the rest only ask for a small detour. Knock out Nok and Tuhala early on, then chip away at the armor and tree-claiming objectives once you have decent gear, and the full set falls into place without backtracking.
