I Got EVERY Achievement For 100+ Games

i really wanted to make a video on outer wilds after beating it recently, but thought i should do something a little different from most videos about the game, so that's how this came to be :)

hope you enjoy! thanks for all the support lately on the ai deltarune video and the shorts as well!

I had killed by a dlc creature by trying to avoid them thinking that if I let my lamp in the floor the wouldn't be able to turn it off.

My experience with Archaeologist: I was missing one line of text which came from activating Ember twin's gravity cannon.

Funny how you said harmonic convergence is seemingly impossible normally. Because I did get it by accident during a completely controlled landing that I happened to also have my signalscope active during, and by completely controlled I mean I crashed hard into ember twin by clipping the side of my ship on a cliff and spinning out of control. It just so happened that the planets had aligned along a straight line so I randomly heard a couple seconds of the whole gang playing during the crash

One of my prouder feats of gaming is completing the ship log organically on my first playthrough. I made it to the Eye and spent a minute or so trying to figure out how to leave the Vessel, which resulted in me finding the messages from the other Nomai clans, whiched triggered Archaeologist.

I got you'll never take me alive on complete accident because I was trying to run from one and jumped off ledge to where I thought there was a platform. turns out, there wasnt.

10:38 for this one I thought "ending the loop" meant completing the game so after doing that for a while I went and finished the game and didn't even get the achievement 💀💀💀

Im an aerospace engineer8ng lecturer who played a lot of ksp back in the day. I knew the sun station was hard but i didnt realise how hard it was for non aero / space nerds till i kept hearing " i needed a guide for this" over and over in these sorts of vids 😅

@theodorestephens2504 2 years ago

Ghosts in the machine is actually ridiculously easy as long as you've completed the DLC. The stuff you learn in each forbidden archive trivializes getting back there.

Fun fact for me: for the "Silenced Catagrapher" achievement, i got it during my og playthrough of outer wilds before purchasing the dlc. This confused me why there was two diffrent colors of achievements.

It also confused the hell out of me when i got to the eye and spotted the satilight and i had no idea what the hell it was or what it was doing there!

I just wanna let you know, that Deep Impact is Intermediate or even at the top of Easy with a guide. Because guess what, you don't need to go super fast. You can wedge your ship below one of the islands when it's flying, it will push you below the current, and still triggering the achievement.

"I think this and the previous achievement are pretty much interchangeable"
how is using oxygen as fuel in any way interchangeable with eating marshmallows?

@tomofthetomb 2 months ago

2:39 he rly have us 3 frames to read and understand the achievement before he starts talking about how to get it

6:24 I actually did accidentally do this! I was surprised at just how close I could get to an owlk while in matrix mode and went "wait can they even interact with me in this state?"

They could

@jermafitzgerald2368 2 years ago

Flat Hearther and the Grate Filter were the only achievements I got completely blind. The Grate Filter was completely accidental, but for flat Hearther i looked at that chain elevator and thought "I wonder what happens if..." and then just did it. Unironically my proudest achievement.

@potatogamerrrrr 1 year ago

5:16 he's talking about me!!! i didn't know what the wheel did and didn't see the elevator. died a horrible death

@y3jics 1 year ago

i got the 1/900 achievement on accident because i was stuck and wanted to explore the top floor of the endless canyon building
jump scared the shit out of me

@BeeboCertified 2 years ago

I got the artifact at normal campfire by accident! As soon as I found out how to get to the dream world I was like… wait

@OliyTC 2 years ago

7:06 literally today I was watching my friend play the DLC and he didn't know how to light the fires in the artifacts yet so he ended up doing this as an attempted solution

@sythersight 2 years ago

Tubular! remains the one achievement I haven't gotten in this game - and oh lord did I put in the time to try for it.

@guilhermenovais3 2 years ago

i really love how the devs make the achievments of this game a new way to experience it. i had so much fun catching all of them. somehow i even managed to get Tubular in the first try haha great video bro
