Cloud Gardens 100% Prestatiegids

This guide will show you the step-by-step process of how to unlock every achievement in Cloud Gardens. Vanaf het moment, De game heeft een totaal van 11 prestaties.

Overview and Map

I’ve really enjoyed playing this game and aiming for a 100% voltooiing, but I’ve noticed that there aren’t many guides online that provide detailed help on how to earn achievements.

I’ve categorized each achievement as either “progressie” of “placing items” to give you an idea of how to unlock them. Progression achievements are earned by naturally completing levels in the overworld, while placing items achievements involve putting specific items or plants to meet certain criteria.

Some incremental achievements have a progress bar visible on Steam, which can help you track how close you are to meeting the criteria. Bijvoorbeeld, de “Omhoog” achievement doesn’t specify an actual height, but the Steam achievement will show the percentage of the criteria you’ve achieved. Keep in mind that this progress bar may not update in real time, so it’s recommended to close the game and wait for Steam Cloud to update to see the refreshed numbers. If you’re in creative mode, it’s also a good idea to exit to the overworld before leaving the game to check these stats.

It’s important to note that using the “unlock everything” button in the menu might prevent you from earning some of these prestaties. If you’ve already used it, you might need to reset, but I haven’t tried it myself, so I can’t confirm for sure!

Cloud Gardens Achievements

Ontdekking
Unlock a new type of seed

The initial achievement you’ll earn just by opening the crate in Highways 1-5.

Big Picture
Go to the the Overworld after completing the first chapter

Unlocked once you finish the first Highways chapter and look at the overworld map for the first time.

Getting the Band Back Together
Use all of the toys in one level

Doable in creative mode. Even though you can do this achievement in creative mode, if you’re already busy completing the overworld, you’ll probably get it while playing, as several levels will naturally provide all the toys you need.

Halfway There
Finish the Rooftops Chapter

Take a look at the map – the rooftops chapter is marked in yellow.

Green Thumb
Complete the credits scene

Check out the map – it’s marked in white.

Master Gardener
Complete every scene on the Overworld

It’s possible to reach the credits scene without finishing all scenes/chapters because there are a few intersections where you can take different routes. Opnieuw, refer to the map above to see what you might have missed.

Omhoog
Build a very tall contraption

Achievable in creative mode. The steam progress bar indicates “100” as the requirement here; not sure if it corresponds to an actual height in-game, but it can be helpful to know your current highest record before attempting this. Easily done in creative mode by stacking large building objects.

Overgrowth
Groeien 120 plants in a single Overworld scene

Currently doable in creative mode? It seems a bit glitched, as the description mentions the overworld, but technically, it can be accomplished in creative mode. If done in creative mode, the achievement won’t appear until you return to the overworld, likely checking for the criteria as you enter the overworld with the previous creative level still loaded. If this gets fixed or you want to achieve it naturally, I would generally suggest selecting a large scene and continuing to play the level after the meter reaches 100%, using the rain cloud to help generate seeds and plant as many as you can!

Biodiversity
Plant one of each seed in a single scene

Must be completed in the overworld. This can be accomplished before finishing the entire overworld, but you’ll need to ensure you’ve unlocked all the seeds. They can be found in the following levels, which I have also highlighted on the map:

• Snelwegen 1-1, Wisteria
• Snelwegen 1-5, Pothos
• Snelwegen 1-8, Monstera
• Snelwegen 1-13, Phradaites (Reed/Grass)
• Junkyard 2-2, Opuntia (Cactus/Prickly Pear)
• Junkyard 2-11, Bryophyta (Moss)
• Daken 3-5 (or Greenhouse 4-4), Chestnut/Walnut(?) Boom
• Serre 4-1, Nimbus (rain cloud) – not a seed
• Serre 4-2, Bambus (Bamboo)
• Serre 4-8, Ostreatus (Fungi/Oyster Mushroom)
• Railroads 6-6, Polypod (Fern)
• Railroads 6-9, Salix (Willow) Boom
• Railroads 6-16, Coryphoid (Palm) Boom
• Factory 7-4, Cedrus (Cedar/Pine) Boom

They’re Watching
Plaats 30 gnomes in one scene

Achievable in creative mode. Easily accomplished in creative mode, just place them down anywhere 🙂 I’m not sure if any overworld levels provide you with this many gnomes.

Reforestation
Groeien 10000 plants in total

Achievable in creative mode. The rarest achievement, which admittedly requires some decent time commitment. It’s best to tackle this last after completing the overworld, giving you a head start as this counts all seeds planted total.

My own strategy was to use an auto-clicker (some mice have them built in; anders, you may need to download one, I use dit to save my poor hands!). I then built a simple 3×3 platform in creative and spammed bamboo plants. I found bamboo to be the best for efficiency as it takes up very little horizontal space, only growing vertically, allowing you to maximize the amount of seeds planted in an area. It can also be planted at a slight angle along the edges of the platform. With the auto-clicker enabled, I just needed to move my mouse along the platform, almost like painting, filling up spaces in rows to minimize any gaps. There is seemingly an entity limit to the worlds, and you may notice at a certain point that the seeds will stop growing/planting even when an open space is available. Op dit punt, just pause and reset the level to repeat the process. Filling a 3×3 platform like this was averaging me just under 1000 seeds before the limit was reached, so the achievement can likely be done in less than 10 repeats of this creative world assuming that you have a head start from playing overworld levels.
