Completion route

Plan around systems, not rarity

Current Japanese completion guides report one-playthrough completion and no time-limited trophies. Seasonal activities can be retried in a later cycle, and postgame cleanup remains available.

Story-safe start

Rule I–VIII and the story-clear achievement are listed without exposing major ending details. Use the Walkthrough when you want spoiler-aware timing.

Festival calendar

Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter each have one achievement. See the Festivals Guide for dates and activity mechanics.

Postgame cleanup

You do not need to finish the list before the ending. Use the Endings Guide and Missables for recovery and cleanup planning.

Long-term grind

Keep these totals moving

These are objective accumulation goals, not a difficulty ranking.

¥10,000,000 total shipment value
10,000 harvested crops
10,000 grass or weeds
1,000 trees or logs
1,000 boulders
1,000 animal products
500 workbench crafts
500 Magatama pickups

Shipment achievements use cumulative shipment value rather than requiring the same amount in your wallet. Catalog milestones are 300, 500, 1,000 and the full Catalog; see the Catalog completion guide for the 2,428-entry cleanup route.

Troubleshooting

When an achievement does not unlock

  1. Check the exact Steam condition in the card above, including counts and the Village in the Shade Mode requirement.
  2. Confirm that you completed the action itself: 300 fish caught is not 41 unique fish, and 100 bow hunts is not 100 traps.
  3. Update the game and retry. Patch 1.08 historically fixed a network-related achievement unlock bug; it is historical context, not a claim that the current game version is 1.08.
  4. This guide does not promise that an old failed trigger will unlock retroactively.

FAQ

Achievement questions

How many achievements are in Village in the Shade?

The current Steam version has 52 achievements.

Are any achievements permanently missable?

Current Japanese completion research reports no time-limited trophies and says the set can be completed in one playthrough. This is completion-guide evidence rather than an official first-party guarantee.

Can I finish achievements after the ending?

Yes. Clear-data continuation supports postgame cleanup, and current completion research notes that the Catalog can still be completed after story clear.

How many Festival achievements are there?

Four: one for each seasonal festival—Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

What are the Festival achievement requirements?

Spring requires a 15-shot-per-player badminton rally; Summer requires 10 purchases; Autumn requires successfully roasting a Sweet Potato; Winter requires successfully making mochi.

Is there an achievement for all Shrine Skills?

Do not treat the Shrine-offering achievement as all 80 Shrine Skills. Those are separate systems until stronger evidence proves otherwise.

What if an achievement does not unlock?

Recheck the exact condition, update the game and retry. Patch 1.08 historically fixed a network-related achievement unlock bug; this guide does not promise retroactive unlocks.
