How To Get Every Achievement

The next sections are categories of Achievements and how to obtain them.

Ending Achievements

Good Ending
Get the Good Ending

One of the three Endings to the game. To get the Good Ending, you need to be nice to keep both of your friends and not lose any one of them.

Neutral Ending
Get the Neutral Ending

One of the three Endings to the game and the hardest one to get, in theory. To get the Neutral Ending, you need to be mean to one of your friends to get them leave but then be nice to your last friend to prolong and keep your last and only friend from leaving you.

End Of The Guide

Congrats! You made it through my entire guide on how to get all the Achievements in MareQuest: An Interactive Tale!


Whether it helped you to get the last Achievements you needed, or whether you read it out of boredom, thank you so much for reading this huge guide of mine! I like making guides honestly! They help people, and are tons of fun to put in all the time to perfect it by design!

A huge thanks to Xzar’s (also known as Dosenware here in the guide as Contributor and on Steam in general) spreadsheet file on Google Docs! Without him and his help in DMs on Discord, I doubt I would of been able to do the hardest Achievements to describe how to get, the Northen Wastelands and Southern Badlands ones, and some other Achievements he helped me with describing to you guys.

A big thanks also to SteamDB which is where I got the ripped Achievement icons from and where I kept the page open for the descriptions and names of each achievement!


Thanks to Tetrahedron Dash for his excellent guide; all credits belong to his effort. If this guide helps you, please support and rate it via Steam Community. Enjoy the game.
