Here is an incomplete list of how to get some of the more challenging achievements or trophies in the Outer Wilds. Many of them can be accomplished multiple ways, but this is how I got them. It’s also possible some might be out of date because of updates to the game; this is definitely the case for the Deep Impact achievement which requires you to be traveling much faster now. I will try to add notes and alternate methods for these achievements.

Die Hard

Hey, What’s This Button Do?

Pchooooooo!

You’ve Met a Terrible Fate

From Hearth to the Moon

Gone In 60 Seconds

It Belongs In a Museum!

It Was Worth a Shot

Harmonic Convergence

Rigidbody

Mmmm, Carcinogens…

Mica’s Wrath

Deep Impact

This now requires you to fly much faster into Giant’s Deep than the video shows. You must try to reach to 12km/s, which may be possible if you go over 700km out from Giant’s Deep and hope you don’t hit anything on your way in.

I remember playing Super Mario Bros. and Metroid on the NES with my older brother, and never being able to land on the aircraft carrier in Top Gun. I faked being sick so I could stay home from school and play Quake II once, but now I request days off from work instead of lying. Age of Empires II is still the best RTS, Half-Life is still the best FPS, and I still think the end of Mass Effect 3 was great!
