Intro
This guide will contain spoilers, if you don’t want those, turn away and play the game first. I hope you’ll enjoy Riverbond. Tip for moping up as many achievements without using a guide: talk to everybody and explore every area for chests and stars.
I started this guide because I missed a guide where you can see each achievement listed by adventure, so that is when I decided to start making one myself.
I’ve used information from the following guide: Xbox Achievement Guide Riverbond
General Achievements
This section will list the achievements that are not specific for any level.
Weapons:
All the following achievements are doable in the first adventure “Restwater Valley” where there are a lot of chickens that don’t attack you. Watch out for the roosters that will attack. I did this very early in the game so they are out of the way and that I don’t have to focus on them anymore during the rest of the game.

Skins:
You can find your first few skins in “King’s Garden” an option in the main menu. Others you’ll find spread throughout the whole game in chests. Keep exploring each area to find them. There are more than 35 skins in the game. If you’re missing skins for this achievement after beating the game, you can replay earlier levels and find new ones in chests you opened earlier.

Stars:
Stars area hidden through the game. Almost every area has a star. To make those achievements easier, picking up earlier collected stars count as well. On the first adventure, the star is very close by. If you quit to the main menu and enter again and pick it up, it will count again. The restart button doesn’t work. You have to quit to the main menu.
