▶Before You Start
Great God Grove has 42 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore. There is one list, shared by Xbox Series X|S and the Windows version through Xbox Play Anywhere. No DLC or title update adds achievements.
- Online: none. The game is single-player only.
- Unobtainable achievements: none known as of October 2026. Full Xbox completions are still being recorded in 2026.
- Playthroughs: one. The two deputy achievements are opposite answers to one question. An optional Xbox console cloud-save trick can get both in one go; otherwise replay Chapter 1 with Chapter Select after the credits.
- Difficulty: there are no difficulty achievements. Battles are phrase-and-object puzzles with no health bar, and the final fight cannot be lost. The Easy Battles option in Settings is safe to turn on, and achievements still unlock with it enabled.
▶How the Game Works
The game has a short prologue, four chapter maps (Grove Cove, Milldread, HobbyHoo Hills, BuzzHuzz Plaza) and a finale at the Spire. Each chapter is its own map, and the route is strictly linear. There's no known way back to an earlier chapter in your current save, so treat leaving a chapter as one-way.
Your Megapon sucks up speech bubbles and objects and fires them at other characters. Almost every achievement outside the story is a single phrase delivered to the right person. The phrase is often only available for part of a chapter, because NPC dialogue changes as the story moves on.
There is no quest marker and no in-game achievement or collectible tracker. Collectible-style achievements come in two sets, one of each per chapter:
- BizzyBoy videos (4): a TV you interact with. The achievement only pops after you exit the TV screen, not when the video ends. You can fast-forward or back out early and it still counts.
- Black rabbits (4): a small black bunny you interact with. On Xbox these are named him, him again, him again again, and traitor.
▶Missables and Chapter Select
Every chapter has one-off achievements that disappear once you push the story past their window, and there's no documented way back to an earlier map in your current save.
Your safety net is Chapter Select. After you finish a chapter, choosing New Game lets you start from the beginning of any chapter you've completed, so a missed one-off can be recovered by replaying that chapter from its start.
How a Chapter Select restart interacts with your existing save isn't documented. The game also autosaves only (there's no manual save option). So do everything on your first pass. Save Chapter Select for cleanup after the credits, when nothing is left to lose.
Point-of-no-return rule for every chapter: before you trigger a chapter's final story beat (the battle or the transition to the next map), check that chapter's one-offs in this guide. Some one-offs close much earlier than that, such as before Styella's dress task or the purple romantic light in HobbyHoo. When an achievement section gives its own deadline, that deadline comes first.
▶Prologue and Chapter 1: Grove Cove
▶The Hauzer
▶I have arrived
The tutorial on Cap'n Hauzer's ship teaches the Megapon. Suck up the four anchors to dock. The achievement pops as you reach the grove.
▶Entrance Gate and Inspekta
▶him
him15G
As soon as you're through the opening at the entrance gate, look to the left of the gate. Interact with the black bunny there.
▶INSPEKTA
INSPEKTA15G
Help Bug Wurth and Lumber Jacqueline open the first bridge, then work your way to Capochin and name your weapon. Meet Inspekta inside his van. The achievement may only pop once you finish the conversation and step back out.
When Inspekta first asks about being his deputy, don't nod. Shoot back his "God and human, we can solve this mystery TOGETHA!" line instead. This isn't the achievement decision. That comes at the end of the chapter. Take "Lay off and take a snack break! That's an order" before leaving the van.
▶Al and the Beach Ball
▶Shaboingboings
Go right and up to Al, the BizzyBoy blocking the next bridge, and shoot him with the snack-break order. He heads off on his break, and the achievement pops.
▶Irresponsible babysitter
Al is Alexei, the same BizzyBoy you'll meet again in BuzzHuzz. He was already chewing on a beach ball when you arrived, which is why the achievement says "again".
Return to the entrance gate area, where Al has gone for his break. Grab the beach ball next to him and shoot it at him so he tries to eat it. This is the main route, and the achievement should pop here.
Treat it as missable. If it somehow doesn't pop, there's a fallback after you meet Miss Mitternacht (below), and that must also be done before you cheer her up.
▶The Historian and Miss Mitternacht
▶H-h-h-historian
Cross the bridge Al was blocking and find the historian on the riverbank in the rain. Talk to her and keep sucking up the rain with the Megapon now and then to keep her dry. Stay until she finishes her story, and the achievement pops.
▶MISS MITTERNACHT
Enter Miss Mitternacht's door and talk to her. The achievement pops when you step back outside.
▶Irresponsible babysitter
Skip this if it already popped. As an unconfirmed fallback (a single report, not an established route), go back to Al before you do anything to cheer Miss Mitternacht up. Talk to him until he mentions new food he's taking to Capochin, then shoot the beach ball at him again and wait for his "still tastes like glue" reaction.
▶Bridge, Video, and Cheering Up Mitternacht
▶Da Rift an' You
Bring the three floating planks to Lumber Jacqueline to fix her bridge. Past it, a pile of TVs sits to the left of the Miss Mitternacht area. Interact with the front TV to watch the first BizzyBoy video, then exit the screen. The achievement pops after you exit.
▶Godwhisperer
Godwhisperer95G
Continue the story through Razzmatazz and back to Miss Mitternacht. Answer yes when she asks and the flooding ends. The achievement comes from cheering her up and resolving Grove Cove. It may pop as her flooding stops or as the chapter wraps up.
Don't enter Inspekta's moved van yet if you plan to use the cloud-save trick below. Its first step happens before you go in.
▶The Deputy Decision
Inspekta's van has now moved. Inside, he asks whether you want to keep being his deputy. Each answer has its own achievement, so you need both. You answer by shaking your head with the right stick.
Chapter Select is the supported way to get the second answer (see the fallback below). The cloud-save trick is an optional shortcut that relies on cloud sync behaving, so use it at your own risk.
Optional cloud-save trick (Xbox console only). Set up the checkpoint before you enter the van:
- With the van in front of you, exit to the main menu and fully close the game, so the cloud save syncs at this point.
- Relaunch the game and enter the van.
- Shake your head yes to earn Good Little Deputy. Don't advance the dialogue any further.
- Immediately press the Xbox button, highlight the game, open Manage game and add-ons, go to the saves section, and delete the local save only. Never choose to delete everywhere, or you lose all progress.
- Relaunch. The game should load the cloud checkpoint from before the van. Enter it again and shake your head no.
Cloud sync timing isn't guaranteed, and deleting the wrong save copy costs progress. If the reload doesn't bring the question back, use the Chapter Select fallback below.
▶Good Little Deputy
Shake your head yes when asked to continue as deputy. The achievement pops right away.
▶Skeptical of authority
Shake your head no to the same question. Use the cloud-save trick above, or the fallback.
Fallback (any platform, including Windows): pick yes now and play on. After the credits, use Chapter Select to replay Chapter 1 and answer no at the end. It costs a Chapter 1 replay, but nothing else is left to lose at that point.
▶Chapter 2: Milldread
▶Arrival in Milldread
▶Milldread
Milldread15G
This pops on arrival.
▶...
Right at the start, talk to Capochin and take "I thought this place had barbeque, WHERE'S THE SMOKED HOG?". Shoot it at the pig up and to the left.
▶The Bakery
On your first visit to the bakery, grab both of these. Also watch the Bayker: if he sneezes now, catch the "ACCHOOOOO!" and fire it anywhere for ...Bless you. right away. It's reported to work before his quest as well as after it.
▶Da God Awards
The TV is to the right inside the bakery. Watch the video and exit the screen to unlock it.
▶him again
him again15G
Go further right, into the east corner of the bakery, and interact with the black rabbit.
▶Cobigail and the Insult Relay
▶COBIGAIL
COBIGAIL15G
Meet the God of the Harvest in her room. The achievement may only pop once you finish the meeting and leave her room.
▶Master barber
After meeting Cobigail, talk to Capochin in the schoolhouse. Take "GET A HAIRCUT!" and shoot it back at him.
▶Too far
Too far15G
Find Razzmatazz east of the bakery and take her opening insult. Deliver it to Capochin, take his reply back to her, and keep alternating every insult between them. The last one is "TELL RAZZMA SHE'LL FOREVER LIVE IN THE SHADOW OF AN EVIL TYRANT!". Deliver it to Razzmatazz and the achievement pops. Finish the relay before the sacrifice.
Keep pushing the story through the crows and the berry tree song until you've made the Milldreadberry Jam.
▶The Jam and the Sacrifice
▶Bloodletting
Bloodletting95G
Shoot the Milldreadberry Jam at Saul to make everyone remember and stop the sacrifice. The achievement pops with the chapter's resolution.
▶...Bless you.
Before you leave Milldread, go back toward the bakery. The Bayker is standing outside. Talk to him. When he sneezes, suck up the "ACCHOOOOO!" bubble and shoot it anywhere.
If you didn't get it at the bakery earlier, this is the documented spot. Catching Cobigail's "CHOOOOO" bubble and releasing it is also reported to work, but that's not confirmed.
▶BizzyBoy Battle at Milldread's Edge
▶Justice Served
Beat the BizzyBoys. Fire the pumpkins, then turn the cone-head's own phrase back on him. This is the first BizzyBoy battle, and the achievement is expected to pop once the whole encounter resolves. If it doesn't, replay Milldread through Chapter Select after the credits.
Check that you have ..., both bakery achievements, Master barber, Too far and ...Bless you. before you start this battle.
▶Chapter 3: HobbyHoo Hills
▶Arrival and the Gods
▶HobbyHoo
HobbyHoo15G
This pops on arrival.
▶THESPIUS
THESPIUS15G
The achievement pops when you meet the Songwriter God in his room as the story leads you there.
▶A Bedtime Tail
The TV is in the Clicky Tower lobby, the first thing you see inside, before the couch. Watch the video and exit the screen before you go up to meet Click Clack.
▶CLICK CLACK
CLICK CLACK15G
Meet the Storytelling God in Clicky Tower. The achievement may only pop once you finish the conversation and leave his room.
▶Styella and the Soul Cricket
Once the Soul Cricket is open, finish A test of Patience and ...chill out before you collect the purple romantic light. Both windows close around that point.
▶Reprimanded
Reprimanded15G
Rick Brick is the grayscale character to the left of the stage. Take his "DING! Hey What Weird Face." line and shoot it at Styella. Then deliver the two apology phrases in order: first "I'm sahry for callin' yoah face ugly, Styella", then the "piece of human gahbage" line. Do it before her dress task.
▶A test of Patience
Get the purple-light phrase from Hersha, then find Patience at the Soul Cricket counter and shoot the phrase at her. She starts a very long story. Don't skip or rush it. Let the monologue run, which takes about two minutes, and advance normally only when you're prompted. The achievement pops after she finishes and asks if you're still listening.
▶...chill out
...chill out15G
After you've entered the Soul Cricket and spoken with Patience, find P to the left of Kondle doing his trick. Take "NO MORE CAPO! TIME TO SEIZE THE MEANS OF DEDUCTION!" and shoot it at Capochin inside the Soul Cricket. Do this before you collect the purple romantic light.
▶Byoolah and the Third Rabbit
▶him again again
After you take Byoolah's clothes, head to northern HobbyHoo. The rabbit is just above Byoolah, to the left of the Thespius billboard, near the path north toward the BuzzHuzz exit. Interact with it. Do this before leaving the chapter.
▶The Performance
▶From the top
From the top95G
Finish the stage setup and the script, then watch the performance. The achievement pops when the performance ends.
▶Double Date
Double Date15G
Right after From the top, go down and left to Daffodil in the band. Take "I'm HAM-HOT for a handsome god!" and bring it to Click Clack's room. Shoot him with it, then say yes to the first god offered as your date. Any god works.
Leaving the tower toward Gatesy sends you on to the battle and BuzzHuzz. Treat Double Date as missable once you go.
▶Chapter 4: BuzzHuzz Plaza
▶Arrival and the Five Papers
▶BuzzHuzz
BuzzHuzz15G
This pops on arrival.
Before you can go further into the plaza, Alexei needs five BizzyBoy Papers. They're Inspekta posters: one lying on the ground and four stuck to walls. Suck each one up with the Megapon.
- On the ground: left (west) of where you enter, by the chain-link fence.
- Mounted: at the black rock and arch (the Bauhauzzo sculpture), up and to the right of the ground poster.
- Mounted (two): on the concrete wall above the arch, to the right of Alexei. One is further along the right side of that wall.
- Mounted: on the wall below Alexei, down and left by the sandbags.
Alexei is lounging under an umbrella up by the sandbags, north then northwest of the entrance. If you come up short, check the Bauhauzzo flags on the left side of the entrance.
Give them to Alexei one at a time and let him finish each response before you hand over the next. An early softlock here was patched in November 2024, but waiting costs nothing.
▶Bauhauzzo, Bananathan, and Huzzle Mug
▶BAUHAUZZO
BAUHAUZZO15G
Meet the God of Memory. The achievement may only pop once you finish the conversation and leave his room.
▶Telltail
Telltail15G
Get "GETSCRAMLOSTGONE!" from Dr Cara and shoot it at Bauhauzzo when you're inside his room. Do it before you use the phrase to open the hideout door. The phrase can be picked up again from Dr Cara afterward, so don't panic if you used it first.
▶Order Orderer
Take Bananathan's "I order you to open this alley!!!" and shoot it at Bauhauzzo. Take his version of the line and shoot it back at Bananathan. Go through all of Bananathan's dialogue until the achievement pops.
▶HUZZLE MUG
HUZZLE MUG15G
The achievement pops when you meet the God of Invention. He also gives you BETRAUELTRY!, one of the bunker passwords.
▶The Resistance Bunker
The bunker's timed door needs four phrases fired at it:
- BETRAUELTRY! from Huzzle Mug
- GETSCRAMLOSTGONE!!! from Dr Cara
- -a SUNNYBRERO from Alexei
- HELLOGREETINGSHI!! from Kondle
Collect all four, then shoot them at the door before the timer runs out.
▶Resistance Tasks
▶Prom queen
Prom queen15G
Once a resistance task asks for it, take the Azure Rose from the pot left of the bunker. Give it to Huzzle Mug and answer yes about the Promdance.
▶Mrow
Mrow15G
Once the pigeons are gone during the paint-vat work, catch the Pink Herring in the fountain and shoot it at Veronicat.
▶The BizzyBoy Barracks
When you receive the spare-uniform resistance task, the doorway left of Bauhauzzo's (the one Tripp was guarding) opens. Inside is the trashed supermarket.
▶Cookin' wit da Capo
Interact with the TV, watch Capochin's video, and exit the screen.
▶traitor
traitor15G
The final black rabbit is right beside that TV, between it and Rick Brick, wearing a hat. Interact with it.
▶Restoring the Plaza
▶VIVA LA REVOLUTION
Finish the paint vats and the statue unveiling to bring art back. The achievement pops as the chapter resolves.
Before the BizzyBoy battle that follows, check you have Telltail, Order Orderer, Prom queen, Mrow, Cookin' wit da Capo and traitor.
▶Chapter 5: The Spire
▶The Finale
The story continues through Inspekta's van, the crossing to the Spire, and the fight with Inspekta. The fight can't be failed. Then fire the BizzyBoys into the rift.
▶KING
KING15G
KING unlocks at the ending sequence, after the rift is closed and you meet King. Afterwards you can talk to everyone gathered on the Spire. When you're done, talk to Lumber Jacqueline and step onto the elevator to finish the game.
▶Post-Game Cleanup
There's no free roam after the ending. Use New Game > Chapter Select to restart any completed chapter, then play to the right point in that chapter for anything you missed. How the restart interacts with your existing save isn't documented, which is why this guide saves it for after the credits.
- Skeptical of authority (if you skipped the cloud trick): replay Chapter 1 and answer no in the van at the end.
- Any missed video, rabbit, or one-off: replay its chapter and follow that chapter's section above.
