Achievement Guide
A practical completion route for the Dave the Diver achievement list (43 achievements).
Plan around the story
Most achievements unlock naturally while completing main missions, side missions and the restaurant ranks. Focus on the story until the Marinca, farm and restaurant systems are open, then clean up the collection and cooking achievements in the same runs.
High-effort achievements
- Fish collection: use the Marinca tracker and check each zone at day and night.
- Recipe collection: buy recipes, complete staff unlocks and watch for event-only dishes.
- Staff collection: hire every available employee and complete their recruitment requirements.
- Boss drops: some achievements need boss ingredients, so keep the unique loot from major fights.
Hidden achievements
Hidden achievements often reward optional interactions such as photo spots, unusual catch methods and DLC-specific activities. Use the side-mission list as a checklist and return to completed chapters after unlocking better gear.
