In this guide, I’ll tell you how to unlock all the achievements. The Shrine level has been bugged for months and still doesn’t work 100% at the time of writing this. But after the update today (22 April 2022) I was able to get past it and managed to get all the achievements.
Table of Contents
Welcome
Hello,
Welcome to my achievement guide for “The Last Friend“.
This game has no missable achievements and they all should be very doable. In this guide, I’ll explain to you how to get each one, but I would highly recommend only looking an achievement up after you finished the game and weren’t able to do it on your own.
The steam achievements only unlock after closing the game, but when you get one you’ll see a window pop up in the top left corner that shows you the name and you’ll earn some extra cookies.
Story related achievements
The following achievements you’ll get by just playing through the game.

Sidequests achievements
The following sidequests you get during the game. For most of them you have to collect 3 items. After you accept a quest (look at the map for seeing a weird-looking icon as a level icon, to spot the side quest) you will see the quest icon by 3 missions. When you go to a mission with a sidequest you can press Y on a gamepad to get to that side quest. This means you have to beat a level with specifically selected dogs, those may not always be your favorite type, but it should be very doable, if not level up one of those dogs you use the most in that sidequest.
Rad Playlist
Collect all tunes and complete Terrie’s sidequest.
You’ll find this sidequest in “Eon – Eon Underground”
Bee-utiful Meadow
Collect all honeycombs and complete Goldie’s sidequest.
You can find this sidequest in “Monastery Hills – Wildlands”
Space Odyssey
Collect all launch codes and complete Agent D.O.G.’s sidequest.
You can find this sidequest in “Capitol D. City – Capitol D. City”
Head of the Pack
Complete all 4 pack trials.
This is the odd one in this part of the guide, but it felt like the right space to put this one. On the map you can find location icons with a purple circle and some pink and yellow. Complete all 4 for this achievement. You can find them on the following maps:
St. Petrol – Arid-Zone
St. Petrol – St. Petrol City
Eon – Eon Facility
Monastery Hills – Monastery Hills
For the following achievements, you need to do something special during a mission before it ends. I recommend not to go for those specific till you finished the game or just feels like it. I did them when I got the required dog, but later on, I would have got it otherwise by it just being the setup I used during a mission.
Laundry Day
Finish a mission with at least 5 water turrets active.
You need to have Barbet 5 times alive at the end of a mission. I did this on the very first mission “Pitstop” after I got some upgrades so you can build more towers at the beginning of a level.
Prankster
Place at least 20 traps in a mission.
I did this achievement on the first mission “Pitstop”, they don’t have to be active after finishing the mission, you just have to place them.
Grid Master
Finish a stage with at least 5 level 3 turrets active.
You’ll get this one easily later on in the game, but if you want to do it early, you can do it on the level “Firewall” in the first area, because you can play that level as long as you want and the game keeps giving you enemies, so you can get the scrap needed for those turrets easily on this mission.
Let Them Burn
Finish a mission with at least 5 fire turrets active.
You’ll get this one later on easily as the level 3 version of this turret is awesome, but if you want to do it early on you can do it easily on the first mission “pitstop” after you get some upgrades to start with more scrap.
Scavenger
Collect 300 scrap by recycling turrets in a mission.
I think this was the easiest to do on the level “Firewall” in the first area because you can take as long as you want on that level as long as you don’t kill the last firewall.
Primal Instinct
Charge your Instinct bar 3 times in a mission.
You unlock this instinct bar later on in the game and can activate it by pressing down the left and right thumbstick. I did this one the “firewall” mission in the first area just because you can take as long as you need on that mission.
The Great Wall
Finish a mission with at least 10 level 2 walls active.
This is easily done on the level “Firewall” in the first area. You need to upgrade the German Shephard to level 2 and then finish a mission with 10 times a level 2 wall up.
“Genius”
Place a water turret and a fire turret on the same lane.
This is easily doable on any level, and you might have already done it before you know it was an achievement because you unlock both towers early on in the game and they are both amazing.
Babysitter
Complete a mission letting your turrets do all the work. Alpha cannot attack.
I did this on the first mission “pitstop” after you get some upgrades for starting a level with more scrap. Place a turret on every lane and adding more of them when you want to, but the enemies on this level are very easy. Just don’t hit an enemy with your character.
Combo Breaker
Perform a 40-hit combo without taking any damage.
This achievement is easily done on the mission “Family Feud” in the Capital D. City area. Run up to the “War Machine” and just starting hitting it, it won’t attack you for a while and by that time you’ll already have this achievement.
Couldn’t Care Less
Activate all alarms during the Infiltration mission.
You can find this mission in the Capital D. City area. In each part of the level you have to stand in one of the spotlights to get detected. This achievement didn’t unlock for me after I did it but later on it unlocked out of nowhere, but that might just have been a small bug.
Teleport No More
Destroy 20 projectors at EON Facility.
In the EON Facility map, you can find the level “Modern Engineering”, in this level you will see some kind of UFOs (1 during wave 2 and more during wave 3 and 4). You can kill those by doing an uppercut.
Lost
Enter all rooms inside the Secret Shrine.
This achievement has been bugged for a long time and the developers stopped responding to me through discord after a while. I finally managed to get this achievement done after the update on 22 April 2022. I don’t have the energy to write this out, so here is a video in which I play really bad because it has been months and I forgot the controls. I still lost the camera, but managed to get past that:
YouTube™ Video: The Last Friend – Lost Achievement: Enter all rooms inside the secret shrine Views: 1 Don’t mind how bad I’m in this video, it is months that I played the game and I forgot the controls. In this video I’ll show you all the rooms, I visit most of them multiple times, but wanted to make…
Horder
Finish the Collateral Damage mission with 3,000 scrap left.
This achievement almost feels story related and I don’t think it is really missable 😛
Shinobi Master
Team up with the Akita and maintain your damage boost active for 1 minute.
I think I did this one on the first level with not placing any offensive towers, only shield towers, and then keep countering the attacks of those very weak enemies who don’t have weird attacks.

X amount of time achievements
Big Spender
Expend a total of 100,000 scrap on your journey.
I got this around halfway through the game, so don’t worry about this achievement.
Pitcher
Grab and throw 100 times.
You can grab an enemy with B on a controller.
Perfect Timing
Hit 50 enemies using your COUNTER attack.
You can counter an attack by pressing RB at the right time when an enemy attacks you. It might be hard at first, but you’ll also get a mission where you can only defeat enemies using the counterattack, so that will already help you a lot for this achievement.
Wasting Resources
Use your special attacks without hitting anything 100 times.
You might have already got this by just playing through the game since on later levels you have so many enemies that switch lanes.
Shadow Boxing
Throw 1,000 punches into the air without hitting anything.
You might have already got this by just playing through the game since on later levels you have so many enemies that switch lanes.
In Pursuit
Hit 100 enemies using your TACKLE attack.
I believe that you learn special moves in the second or maybe the third area of the game. the tackle move is the one you can activate by pressing the right thumbstick left or right.
Tremors
Hit 100 enemies using your STOMP attack.
I believe that you learn special moves in the second or maybe the third area of the game. the tackle move is the one you can activate by pressing the right thumbstick down.
Knock Out
Hit 100 enemies using your UPPERCUT attack.
I believe that you learn special moves in the second or maybe the third area of the game. the tackle move is the one you can activate by pressing the right thumbstick up.
Bomber
Use 30 Yolos to blow up other enemies.
Yolos are the guys which carry around a red jerry can. You can grab them with B and throw them on another enemy. Do this 30 times for this achievement. You can find those guys in the second area “St. Petrol – St. Petrol City”
Bloodsucker
Team up with the Doberman to absorb a cumulative total of 500 HP from enemies
I suspect you’ll get this already through playing the game, since the Doberman is awesome and 500 health isn’t that much. I got it after doing a mission 1 a 2 times when he was leveled up to level 3.
Chain Reaction
Use the poison effect to explode the terrain 10 times.
I’m not quite sure where I unlocked this one but I suspect I did this on the mission “Cobra of the South” in Monastery Hills. Since he spawns a grid with poison. If this is the case it is nice to combine this achievement with “Viking’s Blessing”.
Viking’s Blessing
Team up with the Husky to avoid ice and poison damage 50 times.
I did grind this achievement on the level “Cobra of the South” since he uses poison attacks quite a lot.
Support Main
Team up with the Newfoundler to heal a cumulative total of 3,000 HP of your offensive and defensive equipment.
I suspect you’ll get this achievement very early in the game, since the Newfoundler dogs is amazing, easily the level 3 version. You’ll be able to heal turrets in a grind of 3 x 3 with level 3, which makes this achievement even easier.
Raft Safety
Throw 20 enemies into the Wild River.
I can’t remember getting this achievement but there is a level called “wild River” in the “Monastery Hills – Wildlands” area. So I suspect that you just have to throw off enemies of that raft there.
Cheating Death
Team up with the Corgi and maintain your damage boost active for 1 minute.
I did this one on the level “Firewall” in the first area. When you have already a lot of hp it is easy to get under 30% health while not really be in danger, and when it goes up a bit too much you can just run into a firewall to get hit again.
Mass Extinction
Destroy 100 enemies using the Schnauzer’s K-9 attack.
You’ll unlock Schnauzer very late in the game, it is an attack that uses your instinct.
Doing it all achievements
Fixer-Upper
Purchase your first RV upgrade from T. JUAN’s WORKSHOP.
You can press X on the map to go to your camp, here you can level up your RV. i loved the upgrades for starting with more scrap and getting more from enemies.
Fully Loaded
Purchase at least 12 upgrades from T. JUAN’s WORKSHOP.
I did get this achievement before even getting to the last area in the game, but I did go for the optional missions as defeating a level within x minutes or without the Rv getting hit while playing the levels.
Grandma’s Cooking
Level up your first dog.
You can’t miss this one. Around the end of the first area, you’ll find Lupe’s location and you can level a dog to level 2 for 15 cookies and after that to level 3 for 40 cookies.
Satisfied Tummy
Level up 10 dogs to level 3.
You’ll get this before the end of the game, i suspect you want to even level more dogs to level 3 before that point.
Dog Person
Team up with every friend at least once.
In your camp, you can find every dog you rescued and when walking past them you can see how many times you took it on a mission.
The Goodest of Bois
Rescue all dogs in the game.
This achievement is exactly what it says, rescue all the dogs. There are no hidden ones, just do all the missions and the sidequests.
Perfectionist
Complete all missions in the game.
Do all the mission objectives on all the levels.
Name Giver
Give every dog an awesome name.
In your camp, you can find every dog, and here you can also give them a new name in case you didn’t do that while rescuing them. I did this at the end of the game because I played with a controller and this is easier while using your keyboard.
The Last Friend
Unlock all achievements in the game.
Does this achievement really need an explanation?
