Researched 5 new dishes.
Use the crafting flames you get for getting a good score during the nightly dinner service. The number of stars you receive reflects the number of flames you receive. 5 stars = 5 flames, and so on.

Enhanced 5 dishes.
Your “Best Flavor” score is based on the dishes you upgrade. Typically, the fish you catch deeper in the Blue Hole will cost more and have a better base flavor. To get this achievement, I leveled the Tiger Shark Sushi Dish to get the Gold Influencer achievement. When the Glacial Zone opened, I leveled the Narwhal Sushi Dish to get the Diamond Influencer achievement.

Duwa’s workshop opened.
It’s not necessary to complete all of Duwa’s quests to open the workshop. However, Duwa will give you a quest called “Reopening the Workshop” where he asks you to bring him 5 Opal Ore. After that, Duwa will have another quest for you before the workshop will open the next time you visit him.
Weapon Collector
Weapon Collector
Collected all the blueprints.
Important: Weapon variations such as “Shock Grenade Launcher” or “Fire Sniper Rifle” DO NOT count towards learning a recipe. You must collect a PLAIN RECIPE 3 times to unlock it.
The Grenade Launcher and the Ice Cannon will probably be the hardest to find. The Ice Cannon can only be found AFTER you unlock the Glacier Passage. After I unlocked the Glacier Passage, I found the gun several times in the Ice Area as well as in the Blue Hole Shallows. The grenade launcher is most likely to spawn in the Blue Hole Depths.

You will have to repeat this puzzle to get to the mural.

To unlock the GYAO’s you must complete the Stormy Night side mission. Whirlpools spawn on Stormy Nights and when you enter these whirlpools you will be met by a boss monster. When you defeat the Truck Hermit Crab, the GYAO’s should unlock. GYAO’s are very similar to Tamagotchi’s …. they are pretty much a Tamagotchi. You will need to raise the GYAO to adulthood, let it die, and do it again 5 times for this achievement.
Photographer
Photographer
Took 10 photos at Photo Spots.
I was able to complete this achievement by simply questing and exploring. There are many photo opportunities, the first being in the Deep Blue Depths. Once you take your first photo, more will appear all over the map. As you progress through the story, more photo spots will open up in different areas/times of day.

Eventually, you will get a quest from Udo the photographer to start catching Fishmon. He will give you a new Fishmon to catch every Saturday, you have until Sunday night to catch the fish or you have to wait until next Saturday to try again.
Pro tip: Udo will tell you how deep the fish are and WHAT YOU NEED to catch them…

Ate rations.
This may be missed if you don’t pick up the rations at the Sea Blue Base. I do not know if you will be able to return to the base, so just be aware. The rations are on the third floor of the Sea Blue Base. You will have to walk over them to complete the mission.
Dev Killer
Dev Killer
Wiped-out all the developers.
This will be unlocked when you finish the game. During the credits, you must find and “kill” all the developer names before the credits end. If you fail the first time, it will unlock as a mini-game on your phone the next day. It seems that the map “wraps around”, so you can swim endlessly in one direction.
For more strategy on how to unlock this achievement, refer to our Dev Killer achievement guide.
God of Lightning

Caught a fish with Mjolnir.
Mjolnir only has a percentage chance of spawning in the Glacial Passage. It can spawn in many different places on the map, so keep an eye out for it. It will spawn in a large chunk of ice, you will need to break it out. You need to kill at least one fish with it, it doesn’t matter how big the fish is.

Says “caught” but really means “kill”. Complete both the main quest and the Stormy Nights questline to unlock this achievement. Check your Marinca app to keep track of all the bosses you have already completed.
