Polylithic Achievements
Fifteen Steam unlocks, a 1.0 achievement pass, and a Neolithic trophy almost nobody has.
Polylithic ships fifteen Steam achievements. They are real. A few of them still hide their flavor text on the public stats page, and one of them sat at a grim global percentage even after 1.0 claimed to fix achievements. This page is a fan map of those unlocks, not a stolen official spreadsheet. Confirm live percentages and hidden descriptions on the Steam achievements board. When this wiki and Steam disagree, Steam wins.
Play the game first. Most trophies are by-products of a camp that can eat. If you still lack flint and a bed, go to getting started. If you are hunting percentages in a generated world, sandbox is the cleaner grind because story stalls will not hold a timer hostage.
The honest list
Wolf Hunter. Kill a wolf without taking a hit. Crouch, use range, and do not let a second wolf write a short story on your stamina. Pair with how to hunt and combat. A shout can create space. A club combo in a wolf’s face is how you donate the trophy.
Not a Loner. Sustain five tribe members. That is happiness, food, and beds, not a screenshot of five bodies in a river. Read how to form a tribe and villagers. Injuries delay the next recruit. 1.0.0.25 also fixed adding members and raised productivity when happiness is already low, which helps the grind more than a motivational speech.
Early Lumberjack. Collect 200 logs. Axes exist. Trees exist. The achievement is a time tax. Assign gather tasks once people can actually chop, then finish the rest yourself because launch AI still loves to admire bark.
Paleo-Chef. Roast 100 units of any meat. Campfires can sit anywhere after 1.0, and you can feed them from the stockpile. A stone stove is the long game. Details live on cooking. Fish counts if it is roasted. Raw organs in a pocket do not.
Stalker. Collect 300 stalk. Plains grow it. String recipes eat it. Mark it on the gathering planner or you will hit 280 and spend an evening wondering why bows still cost a plant.
Top of the food chain. Kill every carnivorous animal type. That is wolves, bears, sabertooths, hyenas you did not intend to befriend, and whatever else the current bestiary still flags as meat-eater. 1.0 swapped Smilodon labeling for sabertooth and added meaner predators. Do this after you have range and a bed, not as a first-night dare.
Taster. Eat every food type. Generated cooking recipes make this wider than “meat and berries.” Experiment on a full stomach. Do not feed a dare to the villager who is carrying your only mallet.
Ultimate Predator. Run 42 kilometers total. Sprint is a metabolism tax after 1.0. The hunger and body page explains why marathon sessions also change your silhouette. Jog between resources. Do not empty the stamina bar into a bison lane.
Paleo-Coach. Level a tribe member to 10 in any activity. You must perform tasks yourself before followers can take them, then let them repeat the work. Park a person on a safe gather loop. Combat escort is a terrible classroom.
Ultimate Shtchugla. Become friends with Shtchugla. This is a named NPC relationship, not a generic like-meter. Play story beats and member quests; 1.0 auto-completes some member quests when the flag is already true. If the name never appears, you are in the wrong mode.
Sneaky Sapiens. Sneak one kilometer total. Left Control exists. Use it on caribou approaches and you will get there without a dedicated sneak session.
Expedition. Survive 33 days in the wilderness. Sleep, eat, and do not migrate into a blizzard for fun. Biomes and temperature buffs matter once frost and heat icons appear.
I was there, 10.000 years ago. Complete the hunter-and-gatherer era. That is the Paleolithic campaign arc, not a sandbox afternoon. Use how to complete the story when a quest refuses to tick.
The two awkward ones
Dark Souls still shows a blank public description on Steam’s stats page. The name is a joke the community already understands: you will die, and the trophy is tied to that pain. This wiki will not invent a hidden trigger. If your client shows a sentence, trust the client.
Age of Empires is the rare one. Global unlock rates have sat near empty even after 1.0. The name points at the Neolithic leap: farms, landmarks, the second era. Farming is the systems page. Treat a 0% board as either “almost nobody finished the era” or “the unlock is still picky.” 1.0 patch notes literally say achievements were fixed. If yours does not fire after a real village with fields, report it on Steam or Discord instead of repeating the same harvest fifty times.
Secret location hunts exist in community guides. This page will not paste someone else’s map pins. Explore monuments, easter eggs, and the updated 1.0 egg the studio mentioned, then come back to the guides hub for verbs that actually feed the camp.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
How many Steam achievements does Polylithic have?
Fifteen. The live list and percentages are on Steam. This page is an unofficial reading of those names.
What does I was there, 10.000 years ago require?
Completing the hunter-and-gatherer era in the campaign. Sandbox will not substitute. See how to complete the story.
Is Age of Empires bugged?
It has been extremely rare. 1.0 claimed to fix achievements. If a finished farm village still yields nothing, treat it as a candidate for a bug report.
Can I finish trophies in co-op?
Some milestones now grant to all online players after 1.0.0.25. Personal stats like run distance still want your own legs. See multiplayer.
