Berry Bury Berry 100% Achievement Guide: How to Ruin a Cute Game

I booted up Berry Bury Berry expecting a cozy afternoon of digital gardening. Instead, I spent a week orchestrating gnome genocide and questioning my own sanity.

Getting the full completion in this game is an absolute test of endurance. It lures you in with satisfying clicker mechanics before abruptly demanding you solve cryptic environmental puzzles and grind absurd amounts of currency. Some of these achievements will pop naturally while you feed the gaping hole in your yard. Others require you to actively break the sequence of the map and hunt down hidden pieces of lore.

I spent way too much time testing the limits of this bottomless pit. To save you the headache of wandering around a ruined garden wondering what you missed, I mapped out the most efficient ways to grab every single achievement without losing your mind.

The Endless Economic Grind

If you want the platinum, you need to prepare for a serious idle grind. You are going to be staring at numbers going up for a very long time.

Berries, Money, and Buddies

The game throws basic milestone achievements at you constantly. You will get trophies for surviving your first day, hitting ten days, and eventually reaching 100 days for the Green Thumb achievement.

The financial grind is where the real time sink happens. You need to grow a total of 66,666 berries to unlock the final tier of farming achievements. You also need to bank a grand total of one billion dollars for the Guillotine Time achievement.

My best advice is to buy the Auto Coin Pickup upgrade the absolute second you can afford it. However, before you let the automation take over, make sure you manually click and pick up five coins yourself to trigger the Creature of Habit achievement. You also need to upgrade your Berry Buddies all the way to the final tier. Unlocking the Pumpkin buddy earns you a trophy, but you then need to spawn seven of those pumpkins in your garden at the exact same time to unlock the Pumpkin Patch achievement.

Environmental Destruction

The hole is hungry and it does not just want fruit. You are heavily rewarded for feeding it the surrounding scenery.

Eating Props and Gnomes

You need to break 100 walls using either the sledgehammer or the chainsaw for the Renovator achievement. More importantly, you need to drag every single loose prop into the abyss.

To get the Consume All Props achievement, you cannot miss a single pixel of garbage. I spent an hour looking for my last prop because I completely forgot to eat the white garden arch located right near the office door. You also have to eat the yellow taxi that spawns during the clock puzzle. It only appears halfway into the round and drives away quickly, so you must be ready to swallow it the second it parks.

You also get a specific achievement for dropping every single garden gnome on the map into the hole. Doing this triggers a very specific sequence of events. I highly recommend reading my Berry Bury Berry Endings Guide to see exactly what happens when you commit gnome genocide.

Puzzles and Hidden Stars

I will not sugarcoat this. The puzzles in this game get incredibly vague and deeply annoying.

The Black Stars

There are seven distinct puzzle achievements tied to collecting Black Stars. You have to decode computer passwords, do math on a radio, recreate specific smoothie recipes, and manipulate traffic. Explaining all seven solutions here would turn this article into a massive textbook. If you are stuck on the red string puzzle or staring blankly at the radio, go read my comprehensive Berry Bury Berry Black Star Guide where I break down every single step.

Getting all the stars is absolutely mandatory if you want to unlock every ending in the game, which is its own massive achievement checklist.

Miscellaneous Nightmares

A few achievements require you to play the game in highly specific, uncomfortable ways.

The Worm Achievement

This is honestly a brilliant piece of game design. The Worm achievement asks you to open the Star Door with all walls completely intact. You cannot break a single wall with your tools. You have to earn enough money to buy the Star Key and the Bubble upgrade while entirely trapped in the starting area. Once you have the Bubble, you use the hole to literally fly under the walls. Navigate beneath the geometry of the map until you reach the Star Door and open it.

Speedruns and Survival

The Sugar Rush achievement requires you to complete any ending in under an hour. You are allowed to use New Game Plus modifiers for this. The absolute fastest route is triggering the Gnome ending, which you can easily knock out in about twenty five minutes if you focus entirely on dragging gnomes into the dirt.

The Come Hell or High Water achievement asks you to survive for 90 seconds during the Belladonna ending sequence. The easiest way to pull this off is to stand in the Golden Berry Room, upgrade the pumpkin to trigger the apocalypse, and drop the dark fruit into the hole. If you get caught outside that room, just climb up onto the massive slide in the northwest corner of the map to avoid dying instantly.

The Cassette Tape Locations

The final massive hurdle is finding all thirteen cassette tapes scattered around the property to unlock the Truth achievement. You need to solve almost all the Black Star puzzles before these even spawn.

All Cassette Tape Locations

You cannot trigger the true ending until you hunt down every single one of these tapes. I built functional checkboxes into this table so you can actually tick them off as you find them.

Found	Tape Number	Exact Location
	Tape 1	Sitting on a table surrounded by gnomes in the northwest section of the second area.
	Tape 2	Laying on the floor inside the Golden Berry Room after you figure out the pedestal puzzle.
	Tape 3	Resting on a log bench where the gnomes are camping on the east side of area three.
	Tape 4	Check the tall platform hiding directly behind the gnome on the western side of the second zone.
	Tape 5	Spawns right on the computer desk, but only after you suffer through the smoothie and taxi puzzles.
	Tape 6	Dropped on the floor by the back right filing cabinet. Triggered by completing the taxi clock puzzle.
	Tape 7	Sitting on the back left filing cabinet. You have to beat that awful radio math puzzle first.
	Tape 8	Wedged between some flower pots to the right of the computer desk. Locked behind the Belladonna tunnel.
	Tape 9	Hiding next to the office coffee pot once you finish the Golden Berry puzzle.
	Tape 10	Dumped on the lower left filing cabinet after you finish the push pin counting game.
	Tape 11	Resting on the front porch of a tiny grey house with a blue roof, over by the giant traffic cone in the fourth area.
	Tape 12	Stuck between the third and fourth pedestals on the left side of the Key Room.
	Tape 13	Literally inside the physical office trash can. You have to find all the Black Stars and empty the PC recycle bin first.

Once you check off every single item on this massive list, you earn the "I Make The Rules Here!" achievement. It proves you unlocked all endings, found all cassettes, maxed out your hole size, and successfully cleared the entire map of its sanity.
