All 12 Owlboy achievements
Owlboy has 12 Steam achievements: six visible (Flight of the Boguin, Ancient Memories, Trinket Master, Trinket Grand Master, Treasure Seeker, Treasure Seeker Grand Master) and six hidden ones tied to story moments, the hot spring, Bomboman's drums and mistreating Geddy.
Owlboy has 12 Steam achievements: six visible and six hidden. None of them are difficulty achievements, none require a second playthrough, and none are tied to a specific ending. They are a mix of story beats, optional scenes, collection thresholds and two jokes at Geddy's expense.
The conditions below come from Steam's achievement schema for app 115800, which is also what the community wiki mirrors. Global unlock rates are Steam's own numbers where it publishes them; hidden achievements do not show a rate until you unlock them.
All 12 achievements
| Achievement | Condition | Hidden | Global |
|---|---|---|---|

| Music Master | Played Otus's song on Bomboman's drums | Yes | — |
| Oops... | Beat Geddy 1000 times | Yes | — |
| Bad boy | Threw Geddy into the clouds | Yes | — |
| Trinket Master | Collected the trinkets up through the Fire Drive | No | 4.6% |

The story achievements
Four of the hidden achievements are scenes you can walk past:
- Hot Spring Mastery — sit in Toby's hot spring in Vellie.
- Good boy — try to report to Asio at the first sign of trouble, early in the game.
- Reminiscing — listen to the shell near the old ruins.
- Music Master — play Otus's song on Bomboman's drums.
None require skill. All require being in the right place and pressing interact. The sidequest page covers where each one is.
The two Geddy achievements
These are the only achievements that require deliberate cruelty to a fictional bird:
| Achievement | How to get it |
|---|---|
| Oops... | Beat Geddy 1000 times. Corner him so he cannot fall off, throw him, and hit him repeatedly |
| Bad boy | Throw Geddy into the clouds from a platform edge |
Both are easiest in Vellie, early, while Geddy is your only gunner and the island has open edges. The community cheat sheets recommend the western platform for Bad boy and a safe corner for Oops. They are tedious rather than hard; Oops in particular is a few minutes of repeated input.
The collection achievements
The four visible achievements are the grind:
- Treasure Seeker unlocks early, just by collecting coins.
- Treasure Seeker Grand Master requires every coin in the game.
- Trinket Master requires the trinkets up through the Fire Drive, which means reaching the 2,000-coin threshold.
- Trinket Grand Master requires the Spectre Cloak, which requires every coin.
The distinction between Master and Grand Master is the difference between a threshold and a full sweep. The coins page explains the thresholds and the confirmed banks.
The two location achievements
- Flight of the Boguin — rescue two Boguins in Tropos, then clear the cannon minigame.
- Ancient Memories — collect all three Golden Disks, in the Owl Temple, Strato and the Floating Tower.
Both are optional and both are easy to postpone. Flight of the Boguin is the only achievement tied to a minigame, and Ancient Memories is the only one that unlocks a location: the Eternal Sanctuary.
Are any achievements missable?
Not permanently. Owlboy lets you return to previous areas after the story, and the post-game state keeps the shop and the collectibles available. The two Geddy achievements are easier early, and the hot spring scene reads better before the evacuation, but nothing is locked out.
If you are planning a 100% run, the achievement route puts the 12 in a sensible order.
Which ones come naturally
Four achievements are effectively automatic if you play the game normally:
- Treasure Seeker — you will collect coins without trying.
- Ancient Memories — the disks are on the main route through three areas, though the hidden wall in the Owl Temple is easy to miss.
- Flight of the Boguin — automatic if you talk to the Boguin and do the minigame.
- Trinket Master — likely if you clear the two early dungeons, because their coin banks cross the 2,000 threshold.
The rest require intent. The two Geddy achievements are deliberate; the hot spring, the shell and the drums are easy to walk past; and the two Grand Master achievements require a full collectible sweep.
How long a 100% run takes
HowLongToBeat puts completionist runs at 13h 22m on average, against 8h 24m for the main story. That gap is roughly five hours of coins, disks, optional scenes and the Geddy grind.
If you are efficient, the gap is smaller. The coin sweep is concentrated in two dungeons, the disks are on the main route, and the optional scenes take minutes. The Geddy achievements are the only part that is pure repetition, and they can be done in the opening area before the story moves.
A note on hidden achievements
Steam hides six achievements until they unlock. That does not mean they are secret content; it means the descriptions are spoilers. The achievement route lists them openly, so if you want to preserve the surprise, stop reading there until you have finished the story.
