Basic Progression Achievements
Not So Easy
Requirement: Fall off the log for the first time.
How to Unlock: You do not need any advanced strategy here. Simply allow your character to fall off the log. The game will instantly grant you this achievement.
Stylish
Requirement: Customize your character.
How to Unlock: As you progress through the game, you gather money. Take that money and spend it on character customization options to claim this milestone.
We Are Almost Rich
Requirement: Open 5 of the chests found on the map.
How to Unlock: Keep your eyes peeled as you navigate the map. You just need to look for the chests and make sure you do not skip them during your first walkthrough. Grab five of them, and the achievement is yours.
Combat and Hazards Achievements
Rotten Fish
Requirement: Fall to the ground after being hit by a fish.
How to Unlock: Pay close attention to your surroundings, as there is only one specific place in the entire game where you can encounter fish. Make sure you intentionally let a fish hit you so you fall to the ground. Do not forget to knock this out when you reach that singular location!
Headache
Requirement: Hit your head 10 times.
How to Unlock: You can easily farm this at the very beginning of the game. Just use the first turn to repeatedly bump your head.
Important Notice: This specific achievement only works for the host player.
Choo Choo
Requirement: Crash with the wagon 10 times.
How to Unlock: To complete this efficiently, locate the longest checkpoint window on your timeline. Once there, continuously press the button to collide with the wall until you rack up ten crashes. You will figure out the rhythm quickly.
Co-Op and Speedrun Achievements
I’m Not Very Good at This
Requirement: Fall off the log 50 times in co-op mode.
How to Unlock: Boot up the multiplayer mode with your buddy. Take this opportunity to have fun, connect, and intentionally plummet off the log fifty times together.
Faster Than Light
Requirement: Complete the entire map and reach home within 60 minutes.
How to Unlock: Attempting this in online co-op will feel like hell on earth. If you manage to complete it with a real buddy online, you are a true champion. However, playing locally on one computer makes this challenge highly manageable. We highly recommend tackling this either solo or in local co-op. By using the W-A-S-D keys alongside the arrow keys, you can easily finish the run within 45 minutes. That exact method worked perfectly for a successful two-player local run.
Speed and Skill Achievements
What Does Brake Even Mean
Requirement: Crash into something while moving at high speed with a log.
How to Unlock: This is often the final and most confusing achievement players chase. It easily eats up half an hour just trying to figure out the location and method.
Important Notice: Just like the Headache achievement, this only works for the host.
The Strategy: You can complete this locally at checkpoint #22. You will need to change the checkpoint directly in your save file to access it easily. Once at checkpoint #22, rotate your log and ride it straight into the hatchet. You must ensure you see the warp white lines on your screen when you crash into it. Hitting the hatchet at warp speed guarantees the unlock.
Difficulty Completion Achievements
Novice Lumberjack
Requirement: Finish the game on Easy difficulty mode.
How to Unlock: Simply clear the game on the easiest setting. Interestingly, this achievement sits at a remarkably low 0.8% completion rate. We can only assume real lumberjacks never choose easy!
Veteran Lumberjack
Requirement: Finish the game on Normal difficulty mode.
How to Unlock: Step up the challenge. Normal mode offers fewer checkpoints, meaning you need to play stronger and smarter to reach the end.
Very High-Level Lumberjack
Requirement: Finish the game on Hard difficulty mode.
How to Unlock: You need to be incredibly tough to survive this mode. Transitioning from Normal to Hard turns the game into a wild roller coaster where you and your co-op partner will likely end up screaming at each other.
Conclusion
Log Riders ultimately provides a fantastic and wildly entertaining experience for any strong co-op team looking for a memorable game night. While some players might feel tempted to modify their save files to bypass the toughest speedruns, true gamers know the real satisfaction comes from legitimate completion. By following the tips and strategies outlined in this guide, you can conquer the hardest difficulties and secure your 100% completion with absolute pride. Good luck out there on the water, and may your balance never falter!
