The Forest Achievements Guide

The Forest, a complete list of achievements

The Forest is a survival crafter game set in an open world, and you must piece together the strange situation you abruptly find yourself in as a lone survivor of a terrible plane crash. For those able to hack it and survive the dark, the cold nights, the starvation, the cannibals, the freakish mutant encounters, and still manage to maintain their sanity, along the way, we salute you.

We also challenge you to push yourself to complete the 45 different The Forest achievements that await. Only the bravest of the brave have the willpower to push through and attain these honorary badges. Few manage to complete them. Where do you rest, and what have you achieved already? If you haven’t started, be sure to check out The Forest Beginner’s Guide to get started on the right foot.

When were achievements introduced?

The Forest introduced its first set of Steam achievements during update v0.64, which brought all of the starter achievements. These gave players some base goals to go after for a sense of greater completion of the game. Certain achievements require a multiplayer mode in order to achieve them.

How to get The Forest achievements?

Obtaining The Forest achievements is a simple process whether you’re a veteran or a new player. Simply follow these steps:
  1. Authenticate and connect to Steam
  2. Connect to a The Forest game server
  3. Perform the achievement’s requirements

Once complete, the Steam achievement will unlock within a minute. A small pop-up toast alert will display in the bottom right of your screen. Once this has occurred, the achievement should now be associated with your Steam account.
