Before You Start

Keeper has 13 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore. It's one shared list across Xbox Series X/S and Windows (Xbox Play Anywhere), and there's no DLC. All 13 are hidden on the Xbox list.

  • 12 statue achievements (75G each). Each one is a hidden side area in a specific chapter. You rebuild a stone statue, usually by focusing your lamp on a flower, and then approach it. Each statue description adds a piece of the game's lore.
  • 1 story achievement (100G). The Keeper unlocks for finishing the game. You don't need the other 12 for it.
  • Online: none. Keeper is single-player only.
  • Difficulty: there's no difficulty setting, and nothing depends on one.
  • Playthroughs: one, plus some Chapter Select cleanup for any statues you miss.

Missables and Chapter Select

You can walk straight past any statue, but none of them is permanently missable. Chapter Select on the main menu lets you replay any chapter, and statues collected in a replayed chapter unlock their achievements normally.

The December 18, 2025 update fixed the achievement icons on the Chapter Select screen. Chapters that contain a statue may show an indicator when you hover over them. Don't rely on it alone: the dependable check is your list of unearned Keeper achievements on Xbox, matched against the chapter list in the Cleanup section.

It's still faster to grab each statue on your first pass, so this guide routes them in story order and leaves anything you miss for cleanup after the credits.

How the Statues Work

  • Most statues are hidden behind a side path the main route skips. You'll find a dormant flower or plant pod near a ruined statue. Hold RT to focus your lamp on it until the statue rebuilds, then walk up to it. The achievement unlocks as you approach. Sometimes it takes a second or two.
  • The first statue, in The Brim, works a little differently. Its section below covers the safe way to unlock it.
  • In the last two statue chapters you're a rolling light without your lamp. There you boost into orange growths to build the statue.
  • When a guide says "left path" or "right path", it means relative to the main story route at that point.

The Mountain and the Forest

The Last Beacon to Crumbling Ledge

These opening chapters teach movement and have no achievements. Continue the story until you reach The Brim.

The Brim

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • The Brim statue — Echoes of the Brim. At the large stone structure, go left, then left again. Aim your light at the statue and hold RT. The emote prompt is optional.

Echoes of the Brim

  1. After the cliff overlook, you reach a large central stone structure. Going right continues the story. Explore the left side before you go right. Reportedly, once you go through the right-hand tunnel you can't come back without restarting the chapter.
  2. From the stone structure, go left, then left again. Look for the gap between the square stones that leads to the stone statue.
  3. Aim your light at the statue and hold RT on it. The statue rebuilds and the achievement unlocks.
  4. A Bird emote (X) prompt may appear near the statue. Pressing it is optional, but it does no harm if the achievement hasn't unlocked yet.

Luminous Cavern to The Mountain Shrine

You get the Focus Light (hold RT) in Luminous Cavern. In Radiant Grove, Twig joins as a usable companion (X to send, B to recall) and you learn to dash. There are no statues in these chapters. Practise using the lamp on plants, because every remaining statue except the last two is rebuilt that way.

Fractal Ridge

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • Fractal Ridge statue — The Creeping Veil. After the pond bridge, cave puzzle and vine bridge, go through the doorway flanked by stone creatures. Light the flower on the left.

The Creeping Veil

  1. Cross the small pond and raise the platforms into a bridge.
  2. Go into the cave and solve the lamp puzzle inside. Leave by the vine bridge and follow the walkway.
  3. Look for stone creatures standing on either side of a doorway. A Twig emote prompt may appear nearby. Go through the doorway.
  4. Focus your lamp on the flower on the left. The statue rebuilds in the centre. Approach it.

The skull-shaped mouth is the exit at the end of Fractal Ridge. If you reach it, you've passed the statue.

Green Sanctuary to Root Cellar

In The Many Eyed Tree, you peck seeds back into the tree to restore its eyes. That opens the way underground. Root Cellar is a short dark tunnel with nothing to collect. Keep going.

Morphing Labyrinth

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • Morphing Labyrinth statue — Nodus the Time Conductor. From the round room, go through to the side room, grow the vine bridge on the left and light the flower across it.

Nodus the Time Conductor

  1. The chapter opens in a round room with circular shapes on the walls. Hold RT to clear them.
  2. Go through the door that opens into a small side room. It has another circular door on its left wall.
  3. Move slightly left and focus your lamp on the flower bud to grow a vine bridge.
  4. Cross the bridge, focus the lamp on the flower at the end to rebuild the Nodus statue, and approach it.

The Winding Gate to The Horologe

During Graveyard and Spiral, Twig is missing and your lamp is broken, so you borrow other lights. Liminal Gate gives you both back. The Horologe introduces the Sun and Moon time switches. Neither chapter has a statue.

Time and the Mountain Climb

Withered Trail

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • Withered Trail statue — Night's Rebuff. Up the switchbacks, open the round spiral doorway near the top with your lamp and light the plant on the back wall.

Night's Rebuff

  1. After the small town, exit the tunnel onto the mountainside and climb the switchbacks toward the arch.
  2. Near the top of the switchbacks, look for a round spiral doorway set into the cliff, just off the main path. Focus your lamp on the door to open it.
  3. In the cave, focus your lamp on the plant on the back wall. The statue rebuilds. Approach it.

The pop can lag a second or two behind your approach. If nothing happens, stand next to the statue for a moment.

Time Passage

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • Time Passage statue — Wist, Tick and Cog. Hit the green crescent-moon switch, go left at the split and light the flower.

Wist, Tick and Cog

  1. In the cave section, hit the green crescent-moon switch to open the door.
  2. Where the path splits, go left instead of through the vines.
  3. Focus your lamp on the flower to rebuild the statue, then approach it.

The Hall of Elders and Pollen Fields

You learn to jump and glide (hold A) in Pollen Fields. Neither chapter has a statue.

Pollen Falls

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • Pollen Falls statue — Call of the Mountain. Go right to the waterfall, ride the pollen geyser, solve the crank and maze panel with Twig, and light the flower in the cave.

Call of the Mountain

This statue takes more steps than most.

  1. After the pink-covered cutscene, head right toward the waterfall instead of following the main path left.
  2. Focus your lamp on the cluster of yellow pods. A creature pops out, eats them and reveals a geyser. Ride it up.
  3. Clear the branches with your lamp and cross to the rock by the waterfall.
  4. Send Twig (X) to turn the crank. This joins the two halves of the maze panel.
  5. Return to the left side of the waterfall, where the maze panel's crank is. Have Twig work the maze panel's crank to guide the piece through: down, right, down, left, down. The waterfall stops when it's solved.
  6. Go into the cave behind it, focus your lamp on the flower to rebuild the statue, and approach it.

HISTORICALLY REPORTED BUG: in October 2025, cranks turned abnormally slowly on Xbox, and later reports say an update fixed it. If a crank still winds very slowly, update the game first. Connecting the controller by USB and turning on vibration, both in the game and on the console, are reported workarounds.

The Great Pollen Tree to Out of the Muck

In Rainfall, a storm blows you off the mountain. In Out of the Muck, you break apart and become a boat. There are no statues in these chapters.

The Sea

Clapperclaw Cove to Molter Run

These are the first boat chapters. You reunite with Twig in Molter Run. There are no statues here.

The Coral Sanctum

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • The Coral Sanctum statue — Guardians of the Sea. Pick up the passenger, open the seashell gate, then at the pink-leafed tree island go right, dash through the branches and light the flower at the dead end.

Guardians of the Sea

  1. After the boat sequence, dock to pick up the small passenger, then head for the seashell gate. Twig and his baby lift the shell together. Use both sticks when prompted.
  2. Past the gate, sail to the small island with the pink-leafed tree and dock there. Go right, then right again, and dash (A) through the branches to the end of the path.
  3. At the dead end, focus your lamp on the flower to rebuild the statue, then approach it.

The Lock Keeper

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • The Lock Keeper statue — Fall of the Guardians. Route the green beam and your own light onto the locked door, then clear the left chamber and light the flower.

Fall of the Guardians

  1. After Twig pushes the glowing orb back into its socket, a lit cable appears. Follow it left to the large machine firing a green beam.
  2. Position your boat under the beam so it redirects onto the locked door. The door needs two lights: the machine's beam on its top eye and your own focused lamp on its bottom eye.
  3. Inside, go into the chamber on the left. Keep focusing your lamp on whatever blocks the way, whether vines on the left wall, wooden doors or growths, until you reach the flower.
  4. Focus your lamp on the flower to power up the statue. Approach it once it rebuilds.

Outcropping

In Outcropping you're stranded and attacked. The sequence ends in a scripted cutscene, which isn't a failure. Neither Outcropping nor the next chapter, Wither Siege, has a statue. Continue the story into Wither Sprawl.

Wither Sprawl

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • Wither Sprawl statue — The Nucleus. Past the orb barrier, clear the purple water on the left, then go through the right waterfall and light the flower.

The Nucleus

  1. Continue past the turtle-riding Chief cutscene. Free the light orb and carry it to the large creature or machine to destroy the barrier.
  2. Go through and stay left. Focus your lamp on the purple contaminated water to clear it.
  3. Go right through the large waterfall to the back of the cavern. Focus your lamp on the flower to rebuild the statue, and approach it.

Wither Storm

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • Wither Storm statue — Wasted Evolution. After the crab escort, take the hidden current north into the building without the crab and light the flower.

Wasted Evolution

  1. Continue right from the central area, breaking barriers with your lamp.
  2. In the next section, help the small crab carry its orb across the islands by luring it with the yellow bushes. Finish the escort: a tube takes the glowing orb from the crab's back.
  3. Look for the hidden current or slipstream heading north into a building. It runs under the bridges, near the northernmost dock. Look for a log with purple orbs just north of that dock, above the hidden entrance. If you're still carrying the crab, you won't fit, so set it down on the dock to the south first.
  4. Ride the current in and boost up the ramp with A. Focus your lamp on the flower to rebuild the statue, and approach it.

Wither Run

This is a chase sequence after the worm-like boss. It has no statue. At the end, a lightning strike leaves you as a rolling light, or disc, with no lamp.

The Final Light

Atrium

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • Atrium statue — Relighting the Mountain Eye. Late in the chapter, past the purple door and green waterfalls, take the jump pad, go left and boost into the orange growth.

Relighting the Mountain Eye

You're the rolling light now. Boost into the eye-like growths and pick up geyser charges, and stay out of the water, because it cancels your charge.

  1. This statue is late in the chapter, after the trench-jumping section and the door you open by connecting the power pads.
  2. You'll reach an area with a purple door on the left and green waterfalls on the right. Circle the raised area, staying close to it, and hit the jump pad (a green bouncy plant) at the end. Go left.
  3. At the dead end, boost into the wall on the left, then up the small slope into the orange growth. Its flower opens and the statue starts building.
  4. Approach the statue.

If you need this one in cleanup, expect to replay most of Atrium.

Breatheway

Breatheway is a long network of tracks where you charge energy sacs and clear corruption to open the exit door. It has no statue of its own. The last statue is just past it, at the start of Sensorium. Some early guides placed it late in Breatheway, so if you pass a doorway with a jump pad on your right where the path loops back on itself, check inside.

Sensorium

Collectibles 1 collectible
  • Sensorium statue — The Mountain Eye Lives! Near the start, boost through the orange growths, clear the barrier with the flat plant, then take the circular track on the right past the last growth.

The Mountain Eye Lives!

This is the last statue, and it's close to the start of the chapter.

  1. Go through the door onto the track and boost into the orange growth, slightly to the right.
  2. Hop onto the flat plant it activates. Focus its light on the eye split in two to clear the Wither barrier, then press B to get off.
  3. Boost into the next orange growth. Take the track that heads down and to the right onto the small bridge with a green bouncy plant. Shortly after the first barrier, a short ramp with a jump pad launches you into a visible hole in the wall. That's the way to the statue.
  4. Get on the circular track on the right and roll past the orange growth to activate it.
  5. At the end of the track, a bouncy plant sends you back to the start. The growth's flower opens and rebuilds the statue. Approach it.

If you miss it, load Sensorium from Chapter Select. The statue is close to the start of the chapter.

The Keeper

The Keeper

Finish the final chapter. The Keeper unlocks when you complete the game at the ending. It doesn't need the other 12 achievements, so anything you missed doesn't block it. Let the final cutscene and credits play out in full.

Cleanup

Missed Statues

  1. Check which Keeper achievements you haven't earned yet in your Xbox achievement list. Each statue achievement maps to one chapter in the list below. Chapter Select may also show an indicator when you hover over a statue chapter.
  2. Load the chapter for each missing statue and follow its section above:
  • Echoes of the Brim: The Brim
  • The Creeping Veil: Fractal Ridge
  • Nodus the Time Conductor: Morphing Labyrinth
  • Night's Rebuff: Withered Trail
  • Wist, Tick and Cog: Time Passage
  • Call of the Mountain: Pollen Falls
  • Guardians of the Sea: The Coral Sanctum
  • Fall of the Guardians: The Lock Keeper
  • The Nucleus: Wither Sprawl
  • Wasted Evolution: Wither Storm
  • Relighting the Mountain Eye: Atrium
  • The Mountain Eye Lives!: Sensorium

Once all 12 statues are done and the story is finished, you have 1,000 Gamerscore.

Statues

12 in the game

Keeper has 12 hidden statues, one in each of 12 chapters. Rebuilding each one unlocks its own achievement. None is permanently missable: use Chapter Select to replay the chapter for any statue you miss. This checklist is your own record. It doesn't read your Xbox progress.
