In this guide, I show you how to unlock all hats in Rat Game, including the default hats and those earned by completing specific tasks.

All Default Hats in Rat Game

You get the first four hats automatically. You don’t need to complete any tasks to use them.

All Unlockable Hats in Rat Game

The remaining hats require you to complete specific tasks. Some are easy to obtain, while others require you to explore the map or win a match.

1. Wizard Hat

Unlock requirement: Complete the Haunted Tape task and light the candles.

To get the Wizard Hat, complete the Haunted Tape task first. After that, find a lighter and use it to light the candles on the table in front of the TV.

You can find several lighters around the map. I found one in the kitchen, underneath the counters to the left of the office entrance when leaving the office.

2. Hardhat

Unlock requirement: Complete the Storage Room wire task.

Play as a Rat and head to the Storage Room. Find the task where you need to cut wires in the correct order.

Complete the wire-cutting task to unlock the Hardhat.

3. Chef Hat

Unlock requirement: Win a match as the Chef.

This is one of the two hats that require you to play as the Chef. Simply win a match while playing as the Chef to receive the Chef Hat.

4. Frog Hat

Unlock requirement: Find the hidden room in the lobby.

You can unlock the Frog Hat before starting a match. Look for a hole in the ceiling of the lobby and climb through it.

Once inside, climb the shelves and other objects until you reach another hole in the ceiling. Enter the next room, and the Frog Hat will unlock.

5. Fedora

Unlock requirement: Complete the hacking task as a Rat.

Play as a Rat and go to the office. Use the computer to complete the hacking task, which involves solving math questions.

Be careful when entering your answers. Each input makes a noise that the Chef can hear from anywhere on the map. Hide nearby if you think the Chef is coming.

6. Propeller Cap

Unlock requirement: Fall from a high place and get stunned when you land.

Find a tall bookshelf or cabinet and climb to the top. Jump down from a great height and let your Rat get stunned after landing.

You can also unlock this hat in the lobby. Climb to the top of the shelves and jump down to complete the requirement.

7. Magician’s Hat

I am unsure about how I unlocked the Magician’s Hat. But I remember that I need to let the Chef or RoboChef spot me and then disappear to unlock this cap.

8. Bow

Unlock requirement: Win against the Chef as a Rat.

Play as a Rat and win a match against the Chef to unlock the Bow.

It only counts when playing against a human-controlled Chef rather than the RoboChef.

9. Cowboy Hat

Unlock requirement: Pick up and hold the gun as a Rat.

Find a gun while playing as a Rat and pick it up to unlock the Cowboy Hat.

The gun can usually be found in these locations:

• Office
• Kitchen
• Storage Room

Its location may change between matches, so check these areas if you can’t find it.

10. Helmet

Unlock requirement: Shoot a Rat with a gun as the Chef.

This is the second hat that requires you to play as the Chef.

Pick up a gun while playing as the Chef and shoot a Rat. Completing this action unlocks the Helmet. It also counts toward an achievement.

11. Police Hat

Unlock requirement: Call the number from the entrance flyer as a Rat.

Play as a Rat and find the flyer lying on the ground near the entrance. The flyer contains a phone number that you need to call.

Next, head to the hearth and use the phone. Enter the following number:

PHONE NUMBER: 1800737678

Once you complete the call, you will receive the Police Hat.

12. Burglar Hat

Unlock requirement: Open the hidden Cheese Vault.

Start by going to the office. Find the bookshelf with a light blue book and interact with it.

This will activate a hidden mechanism that moves a bookshelf in the entrance area, revealing the Cheese Vault behind it.

Opening the hidden vault unlocks the Burglar Hat.

13. Drink Hat

Unlock requirement: Get drunk by using the beer taps as a Rat.

Play as a Rat and find the task where you need to empty the beer taps.

Once the beer starts flowing, press E on it several times. Keep interacting with the flowing beer until your Rat gets drunk.

You may need to press E around 10 times. Completing this task will unlock the Drink Hat.

I’ll also point out a few important things you should complete before finishing the game, so you don’t accidentally miss any unlocks.

Warning: This guide contains spoilers for hidden achievements and the game’s ending.

Weapons & Factory Upgrades

You will start with no equipment at all, but the Upgrade Tree can give you access to everything needed to turn it into a proper production line. At the end of each day, enter the elevator to access the Upgrade/ Skill Tree.

Here, you can spend your money to unlock new weapons, processing machines, and improvements for your factory. Follow the connected upgrade branches to access everything.

You’ll unlock:

• New weapons and ammunition.
• Additional processing machines.
• Conveyor belts and automated production.
• Turrets and other factory improvements.

I first upgrade the production speed, can value, and conveyor belts. These improvements can give you more money for your work, especially once you have enough equipment to start the automatic production.

How to Unlock the Casino

If you enjoy a little gambling between your factory shifts, there’s a Casino you can unlock. However, it isn’t available through a normal factory upgrade.

You’ll need to follow the story emails and meet a few weapon requirements first.

Follow these steps:

1. Purchase the Bat, Knife, and Pistol from the Upgrade Tree.
2. Continue progressing through the game and checking your computer for new emails.
3. Once you’ve received “Today’s Special”, keep playing until the “Feeling Lucky” email arrives.
4. Open the email and select Accept.
5. The Casino option will now appear in your game.

Important: Simply purchasing the Pistol isn’t enough. You must receive and accept the “Feeling Lucky” email to unlock the Casino.

The Casino is optional and isn’t required for any Steam achievement.

How to Unlock “Sell Your Factory”

While killing those little creatures, you’ll receive an offer to sell your entire factory. This allows you to start a Prestige run and earn permanent upgrade points.

However, you won’t get this option just by purchasing every factory upgrade. You’ll need to progress through the story emails.

Here’s the exact unlock process:

1. Continue progressing through the game’s story emails.
2. Unlock the Uzi to move past the “When Money Was the Problem”.
3. Purchase the AK-47 to get the “Excellent Work” email.
4. Continue until you receive “An Offer You Can’t Refuse”.
5. Open that email on your computer and choose Accept.
6. The Sell Your Factory option will now unlock.

Once the option appears, you can sell your factory and begin your first Prestige run.

Your first sale also unlocks A Fresh Start, so there’s no need to repeat the process just for that achievement.

All 12 Steam Achievements

There are 12 achievements in total. Some will unlock naturally as you play, while others require specific actions or a little extra grinding.

I’ve listed all of them below so you can keep track of your progress without jumping between different sections.

Hidden Achievements

The four hidden achievements have their own requirements, so I’ve covered those separately.

Not a Can

Usually, you put the creatures in the processing machines, and their meat is packed into cans. For this achievement, you have to skip the grinding part.

Pick up a dead creature and throw its body directly into the transport tube without putting it in a can.

Fresh Meat

For this achievement, you have to put the creature in the processing machine without killing it.

Push the creature towards the processing machine, and it will be cut into pieces alive.

Once done, the achievement will unlock. If the trophy doesn’t pop up, then try to put the can into the transport tube.

Human Meat

You’ve been feeding creatures into the machines throughout your shift. Now it’s time to volunteer yourself.

Jump into the processor to unlock this achievement.

Special Delivery

This is another achievement where you’ll become part of the production process.

Instead of sending a can or creature through the transport tube, jump into the tube yourself.

Warning: Both Human Meat and Special Delivery will end your current day, so make sure you’ve finished anything important before attempting them.

Permanent Upgrades & Prestige

Once you’ve unlocked Sell Your Factory, you can start earning permanent upgrade points through Prestige.

Selling your factory resets your current factory progress, but you’ll receive points that can be spent on permanent improvements.

Here’s how it works:

1. Open the Sell Your Factory option.
2. Look at the number of permanent upgrade points you’ll receive.
3. Confirm the sale to reset your current factory.
4. Open the Permanent Upgrades menu.
5. Spend your available points on permanent improvements.
6. Build your factory again and repeat the process until every permanent upgrade has been purchased.

The best part is that permanent upgrades survive future factory resets. So even if you sell your factory again, you won’t lose the improvements you’ve already purchased.

Once you’ve purchased every permanent upgrade, you’ll unlock The Perfect Employee achievement.

Important tip: Try to feed 100,000 children before selling your factory for the first time. Prestige resets your current progress toward this achievement, so it’s better to work on it before starting a new run.

Important Warning Before Unlocking the Ending

Make sure you unlock the Casino and Factory Sale before completing the ending!

There’s something important about the game’s progression that you should know.

After discovering the ending, the game switches to a different email sequence. This can prevent you from receiving the normal emails required to unlock the Casino and Factory Sale if you haven’t completed those steps beforehand.

To avoid missing these unlocks, I recommend following this order:

1. Get the Casino invitation and accept “Feeling Lucky”.
2. Progress through the story until “An Offer You Can’t Refuse” appears, then accept it.
3. Work on your remaining achievements, especially the feeding milestones.
4. Complete your Prestige runs and purchase every permanent upgrade.
5. Once everything else is taken care of, go for the ending.

Already finished the game?

If the required emails never arrived, you may need to restore a pre-ending save or start a new game to complete the normal progression.

It’s much better to take care of these unlocks beforehand than to discover you’ve missed them after escaping the factory!

How to Unlock the Ending – Freedom at Last

After spending so much time turning cute creatures into cans, you might finally want to leave this place.

Fortunately, the game does have an ending, and you don’t need to sell your factory or start a Prestige run to reach it.

The main requirement is to complete your regular Upgrade Tree and save enough money for the final upgrade.

Here’s how to get out:

1. Purchase all regular upgrades in the factory’s Upgrade Tree.
2. Keep progressing until you receive the message confirming that you can repay your debt.
3. Unlock the final upgrade, Freedom at Last.
4. Save up $666,666,666.
5. Purchase the Freedom at Last upgrade.
6. Return upstairs and head towards the exit door that was previously locked.
7. Use the elevator to complete the ending.

Don’t make this mistake: Unlocking Freedom at Last in the Upgrade Tree doesn’t mean you’ve finished the job. You must actually purchase the upgrade with your money to receive the exit key.

Once you go through the exit and finish the game, the Freedom at Last achievement will unlock.

And there you have it! All the important unlocks, hidden achievements, factory upgrades, and the ending are covered in one place.

From your first creature kill to building a factory that practically runs itself, it’s been quite a journey. Now that you’ve earned your freedom, perhaps it’s time to let those poor little creatures live in peace. They’ve certainly been through enough!

To unlock it, simply clean up all the leaves in the Statues area.

Missable Achievements

These achievements require a little extra work. Some involve using your equipment, while others require you to find hidden collectibles or complete specific activities.

I’d recommend checking these before progressing too far so you don’t have to revisit areas unnecessarily.

Spin Me Round

Make all pinwheels spin at the same time.

Head to the Statues area and use your leaf blower on every pinwheel. Make sure all of them are spinning simultaneously to unlock the achievement.

Herbivore

Suck up 10,000 leaves with the leaf blower.

You can unlock this achievement after purchasing Suction Mode from the Upgrades tab.

Once you have it, use the suction mode to collect a total of 10,000 leaves.

Buy a mini tractor.

You can purchase the mini tractor after cleaning up either the Playground or Garden area.

Once it’s available, buy it to unlock the achievement.

Pimp My Tractor

Fully upgrade the mini tractor.

This one is pretty straightforward. Just purchase all available upgrades for your mini tractor to unlock the achievement.

Big Fish

Earn $250 in one go.

For this achievement, you need to collect a large pile of leaves and run over it with your mini tractor.

I completed this achievement in the Picnic area. Gather as many leaves as possible into one big pile and drive over it to earn $250 in a single go.

Drive-by Cleaning

Collect leaves while driving at a speed of at least 6 m/s.

You’ll need to upgrade your mini tractor before attempting this achievement.

Follow these steps:

1. Buy the mini tractor.
2. Unlock Sport Mode and fully upgrade Chiptuning.
3. Switch to the highest-speed mode using Toggle Mode.
4. Drive over the leaves at a speed of at least 6 m/s.
5. While maintaining that speed, use Toggle Mode to make the tractor collect a leaf.

Once you collect a leaf at the required speed, the achievement will unlock.

Bag to Basics

Dispose of all leaf bags scattered across the park.

There are 12 leaf bags to find in total. I’ve included a map below showing their locations. Just follow the leaf icons to find each bag and dispose of it.

Bright Idea

Light up all the hanging lanterns.

There are 12 hanging lanterns scattered around Sakura. You need to find and light every one of them.

I’ve marked all their locations on the map below. Follow the leaf icons to find all 12 lanterns.

Reaching Zen

Clean up all the leaves in Sakura.

This one is self-explanatory. Keep exploring the entire Sakura map and clean up every remaining leaf to unlock the achievement.

There are 8 Battle Cards hidden across Sakura. I’ve included a map showing their locations, followed by individual screenshots to help you find each one.

Battle Card #1

Battle Card #2

Battle Card #3

Battle Card #4

Battle Card #5

Battle Card #6

Battle Card #7

Battle Card #8

Once you’ve collected all eight cards, you’ll unlock the achievement.

Like a Monk

Complete all objectives in Sakura.

This is the final achievement you’ll need for 100% completion. If you’ve followed this guide and completed all the objectives along the way, you should already have everything required.

Check your remaining objectives and finish anything you’ve missed to unlock Like a Monk.

Conclusion

That’s all the achievements in the Sakura DLC for Leaf it Alone. Most of them are easy to get while progressing through the story, but don’t forget to collect all 8 Battle Cards, dispose of the 12 leaf bags, and light all 12 lanterns.

I hope this guide helps you complete Sakura and get 100% achievements. Happy cleaning!

How to Get the Pandora Blade in Queen’s Domain

You can find the Pandora Blade in the ruins on the Isle of Neasied. If you have already reached this starting area, you can skip the early preparation and head straight to the ruins.

Step 1: Get the Dagger Belt

Start a new game or return to the Isle of Neasied if you have already progressed beyond the starting area.

Pick up the Rusted Short Sword, then collect the Dagger Belt. You will need Throwing Daggers to activate a switch that opens the entrance to the ruins.

Step 2: Open the Ruins

Head toward the area with the large tree. Look for the switch that opens the door to the ruins.

Use your Throwing Daggers to hit the switch and open the entrance. Go inside and continue exploring until you reach the room containing the Endu Shrine Gate Key.

Step 3: Find the Hidden Room

Once you reach the room with the Endu Shrine Gate Key, inspect the wall on the right side.

Look for a broken stone brazier or pedestal with shrubs nearby. Interact with the wall beside this spot to reveal the hidden entrance.

Go through the opening to reach the secret area.

Step 4: Collect the Pandora Blade

Explore the hidden room to find the Pandora Blade and a humorous JoJo-inspired Easter egg featuring skeletons.

Pick up the weapon to add it to your collection. You can obtain it early in the game, so you do not need to wait until the later areas to find it.

Pandora Blade Stats

The Pandora Blade starts with lower damage than the Rusted Short Sword, but its special movement properties make it worth finding.

The Pandora Blade does not transform into a different weapon when you reach Level 100. Instead, its damage increases as you level it up.

How to Use the Pandora Blade’s Secret Technique

The Pandora Blade preserves a movement trick that was available with the Rusted Sword in the game’s demo. This technique can help you cross gaps and reach places that would normally require additional movement abilities.

Follow these steps to perform the technique:

1. Use the lunge attack: Press your right-click attack button to perform the weapon’s lunge.
2. Watch the blade: Wait until the character begins pulling the blade back after the attack.
3. Jump at the right moment: Press the jump button just as the blade starts returning.
4. Use the momentum: Your character will launch forward with extra distance, allowing you to clear wider gaps.

Timing is very important in this technique. Jumping too early or too late may prevent you from getting the extra momentum.

The Pandora Blade also lets you repeat aerial dashes while gradually losing height. You can combine this ability with the Holy Sword’s dashes to travel farther and reach areas that might otherwise require more Wind Gems.

Is the Pandora Blade Worth Leveling Up?

The Pandora Blade can reach Level 100, but getting there takes a lot of grinding. Each weapon level adds 3% damage, according to my testing, so reaching Level 100 gives the weapon a substantial damage increase.

However, high damage does not automatically make it one of the best weapons. Other weapons can outperform it because of their longer reach, special effects, and magic abilities.

The Pandora Blade’s real strength is its movement technique. You can use its repeated aerial dashes and timed jumps to cross large gaps, explore unusual routes, and reach locations earlier than intended.

You do not need to level it to 100 to use its secret technique. If you mainly want to explore the map or access hard-to-reach places, collecting the weapon is the important part. Level it further only if you enjoy using it or want to see how far its damage can go.

More Queen’s Domain Guides

Looking for other secrets and collectibles? Check out these Queen’s Domain guides:

• Queen’s Domain – All Library Book Locations
• Queen’s Domain: Captain Aganmi’s Missing Crew Locations

Here are the locations of the library books and how to find them.

The Great Works IV – Rubedo

To find the first book, you have to go inside this cave that is on the starting island, below the Cemetery. There is also an egg outside the cave entrance.

Once inside, follow the stairs, and you’ll reach down to the bottom. There you can find the book on an altar to the right of the throwing item in the middle of the room.

You can reach the altar using your Air Dashes from the stairs or by jumping from the pedestal where the throwing weapon was located.

Upim’s Fairy Tales

For this book, head to the second island, the one covered with water. From the right side, use three Air Dashes to reach the entrance on the left.

The area is quite dark, and the enemies can be tough. But you have to make your way somehow by defeating them. Once done, keep moving forward until you reach a room with a large hole in the middle.

When you drop down the hole, immediately use your Air Dash to land on the ledges near the top. Be careful not to fall too far, or you’ll need a Crystal or Stone Fragment to try again.

Once you’re on the ledge, follow the path around until you spot a food item and a skeleton. The book is right next to them.

The Remaining Books Inside the Library

I found the remaining two books in this room:

• Koko’s Sapphic Adventure: Found inside the library.
• The History of Dragons: Given to you by Woura after you catalogue enough enemies.

Dams and Weirs is located on the bottom shelf of the bookcase next to the teleporter. Check the lower shelf to pick it up.

The Old Ones Beyond is hidden behind a secret wall above the entrance in this room.

Go through the hidden passage, and you’ll find a skeleton holding the book. Kill the skeleton, and it will drop the book for you.

Books Outside the Tower

There are also two more books that you can find:

• The Ratty Bug Compendium: Found near the crumbled bridge leading towards the Tower of Knowledge.
• The Rotting God: Hidden inside a skeleton passage in the Obmuer Temple.

If you came across Captain Aganmi, make sure to read this guide: Queen’s Domain: Captain Aganmi’s Missing Crew Locations

Some achievements will unlock naturally as you discover new areas, while others require you to complete mini-games, collect hidden items, or finish specific tasks.

If you’re also playing the Sakura DLC, check out my Leaf it Alone: Sakura DLC Achievements Guide.

Achievements for Discovering Locations

These five achievements are pretty straightforward. You’ll unlock them naturally as you progress through the DLC and clear leaves from new areas.

• Castle or Museum – Unlock the Hallway area.
• Parole – Unlock the Courtyard area.
• Bon Appetit! – Unlock the Dining Room area.
• Carefree Corner – Unlock the Garden of Love area.
• Your Excellency – Unlock the Throne Room area.

Bullseye

To unlock this achievement, you need to score 70 or more points at the shooting range using a crossbow.

First, find the crossbow outside by going up the stairs from the Courtyard. Before you can use it, you’ll need to clear the leaves from the Armory.

Once that’s done, pick up the crossbow and shoot at the targets. You need at least 70 points to unlock the achievement.

Tip: If you’re having trouble hitting the targets, here’s where you should aim:

• First row (2 targets): Aim for the yellow circle.
• Second row (3 targets): Aim for the top of the red circle.
• Third row (2 targets): Aim for the top of the blue circle.

The 67 Club

You’ll need the crossbow again for this one. This time, you have to score exactly 67 points at the shooting range.

Hit the following targets:

• Yellow circle: 5 times.
• Red circle: 1 time.
• Blue circle: 4 times.

Follow this combination, and you’ll get exactly 67 points, unlocking the achievement.

Know Your Place

For this achievement, you need to complete the petal-sorting activity.

First, clear all the leaves from the Corridor to unlock the activity. Once it’s available, look for a table with multicolored petals.

Interact with the table and sort the petals to complete the activity. That’s all you need to do for this achievement.

No Peeking!

This achievement is related to the Memory Game in the Dining Room.

Clear all the leaves from the Dining Room to unlock the mini-game. You’ll find the Memory Game in the same area.

Complete the mini-game, and the No Peeking! achievement will unlock.

Librarian

For this achievement, head to the Library and look for the books scattered across the floor.

There are 6 books in total. Pick up each book and put it back on the shelves.

Once all six books are back in their proper places, you’ll unlock the achievement.

Trade Master

This achievement requires a bit more preparation. Before throwing away your bag, make sure you’ve completed all the following steps:

1. Open the Upgrades tab and fully upgrade Bag Capacity under the Hand section.
2. Buy the largest bag, which has a capacity of 800 leaves.
3. Collect all the leaves from these three locations to increase their value:
   • Terrace
   • Fresco
   • Shooting Range

Once you’ve completed everything, throw the bag into the trash to unlock Trade Master.

Piece by Piece

For this achievement, you need to assemble all three mosaics scattered across the castle.

First, collect the leaves in the Library to unlock the mosaic assembly activity.

You’ll find the three mosaics in these locations:

• Corridor
• Library
• Leaf Garden

Visit each location and assemble all three mosaics. Once you’ve completed them, the achievement is yours.

Here is the solution for all three mosaics.

Corridor

Library

Leaf Garden

Sisyphus

This achievement is a little unusual, but it’s easy once you know what to do.

First, assemble any one of the three mosaics from the previous achievement. Now pick up a bag of leaves and throw it at the completed mosaic to knock its pieces off.

After breaking it, simply put all the fallen pieces back together.

That’s it! You’ll unlock Sisyphus.

A Little to the Right

If you hate sliding puzzles as much as I do, don’t worry. These ones are numbered, which makes things much easier.

First, clear all the leaves from the Labyrinth to unlock the sliding puzzle activity. You’ll also find the puzzles in the Labyrinth itself.

Interact with them and complete the sliding puzzles to unlock the achievement.

Here’s the solution to this puzzle:

Ring My Bell

I initially tried throwing bags at the bell in the Armory, but that didn’t unlock the achievement. There’s actually another bell in the Library, and that’s the one you need.

Head to the Library and climb onto the bookshelf. Pick up a bag of leaves and drop it from the bookshelf onto the bell below.

The bag should hit the bell hard enough to knock it loose and unlock Ring My Bell.

Important: Make sure you drop the bag from the bookshelf in the Library. Dropping it from somewhere else, including the barrels in the Armory, doesn’t generate enough force to ring the bell.

Here We Go Again…

Clean up all leaves in the Castle. Best of luck!

Poker Hand

For this achievement, you need to find all 8 hidden cards scattered across different castle locations.

Here’s where you can find each one:

First Card – Shop

Look underneath the bottom shelf of the cabinet in the Shop.

Second Card – Fresco

Head to the Fresco and look behind the shield next to the squirrel.

Third Card – Dining Room

You’ll find this card near the exit of the Dining Room, just before the Stairs area.

Fourth Card – Ruins

Look at the castle battlements (merlons) in the Ruins area. You can also spot this location from the Dining Room.

Fifth Card – Terrace

Head to the Terrace and look near one of the castle battlements (merlons).

Sixth Card – Garden of Love

You can find this card resting on one of the beams in the middle of the Garden of Love.

Seventh Card – Leaf Garden

You’ll find this card on the ledge of one of the columns in the Leaf Garden.

Eighth Card – Throne Room

The final card is located right on the threshold of the Throne Room.

Once you’ve collected all eight cards, the Poker Hand achievement will unlock.

Castle Conquered

You’re almost done! To unlock this final achievement, you need to complete all the goals listed in your diary.

Keep working through the remaining objectives. Once you’ve completed everything and unlocked the Throne Room area, you will receive the Castle Conquered achievement.

Congratulations! You’ve completed The Castle DLC and earned 100% of its achievements.

Conclusion

That’s all the achievements in The Castle DLC for Leaf it Alone. Most of them are easy to unlock as you explore the castle, but a few hidden collectibles and mini-games might take a little extra time.

I hope this guide helps you get 100% completion without missing anything. Happy leaf collecting!

You have to basically find four missing raiders. Some are easy to locate, but the fourth one is very hard to find. I’ve added red arrows to the screenshots to show you which direction you have to follow, and you’ll reach each raider’s location easily.

Follow the images below to find Captain Aganmi’s Missing Crew Locations.

First Raider Location

For the first raider, go toward this large stone pillar. There you’ll find a raider nearby. After defeating them, look at the ground, and you can see a circular pit.

If you look down into that circular pit, you will find the fallen raider’s body lying in the dirt among the vines.

Second Raider Location

For the second raider, look across the water toward the ruined stone structures. I’ve added a red arrow in the image below pointing over the stone wall.

Follow the arrow and cross over the stone wall. The second raider’s body is lying on the grass next to a large rock near the water’s edge.

Important: Make sure you have a Travel Crystal before going to this location. You will need it to return, so don’t head there without one.

Third Raider Location

The third raider is back at the beach where we originally started. Return to the starting beach and follow the red arrow in the image below pointing toward the grassy ledge above the sandy beach.

You will find the third raider’s body lying face down at the base of a large tree trunk next to the water.

Fourth Raider Location

The fourth raider was the hardest one for me to find. That’s why I have added a few red arrows around the stone structures so you can reach the hidden location.

First, head to this circular courtyard with the glowing blue crystal on the stone pedestal. Now follow the red arrow pointing to the right.

Continue following the next red arrow toward a small stone pillar covered in vines.

Now, look closely at the large stone pillar. You will find a hidden compartment. I’ve also marked it with the red box.

Keep following the marked path and check the vine-covered stone wall. There is a dark recessed opening highlighted in the screenshot.

This will lead you to the fourth and final raider.

Achievement – Fate of the Iryupe Raiders

Once you have found all four missing raiders, return to Captain Aganmi and tell him about the fate of his crew.

This will unlock the Fate of the Iryupe Raiders achievement.

That’s all four missing crew members that I found! You can now move on to your next adventure in Queen’s Domain.

How to Remove Oils from Weapons in SULFUR

To remove oils from a weapon, first buy the Baptism Font from the merchant in Cherish Hall. You can access this area after completing the town.

Follow these steps:

• Complete the town to unlock Cherish Hall.
• Find the old man sitting on a chair. He sells several items, including storage upgrades and ammunition supplies.
• 
• Spend the stamps you earn from completing quests to purchase the Baptism Font.
• Use the Baptism Font to remove oils from your weapons.

The Baptism Font is very useful when you want to change a weapon’s oil setup instead of keeping an unwanted combination.

How to Remove Weapon Attachments in SULFUR

If you have attached the wrong scope or another weapon attachment, you can remove it at the working workbench in Cherish Hall.

The workbench is located outside, near the chairs. You need to pay money to remove an attachment, but you won’t lose the attachment.

Here’s what to do:

1. Find the workbench outside near the chairs.
2. Walk up to it and interact with it.
3. Place the weapon you want to modify into the workbench.
4. Pay the required amount of money to remove its attachment.
5. Collect the removed attachment from the boxes next to the weapon.

You can then keep the attachment for later use instead of losing it.

How to Sell Water

Water trading starts with checking your stock, setting up bottles for sale, and displaying water where customers can see it. Your earnings depend on the water’s quality, the amount you have available, and the customers your shop attracts.

Keep your starting 6L jug. You will need it for processing larger amounts of water, and replacing it can be difficult early in the game.

How to Test Water Purity

Your Water Trader starting equipment is testing strips. Open the container holding the strips, then drag one into a container filled with water. The test reveals the water’s purity percentage, which determines its quality and selling price.

Testing every small bottle can waste strips. Instead, combine water in a larger container, such as your 6L jug, and test the combined batch when appropriate.

Use testing strips whenever you buy water from a merchant. Sellers can mislabel their stock, and the water’s appearance can sometimes reveal a problem before you spend your money.

• Basewater: Check the label and test the purity before buying.
• Ghostwater: Darker-looking water can indicate poor quality. If the seller labels it as Basewater, test it before accepting the deal.
• Rustwater and Gutterflow: These require more work than ordinary water and are not good choices for your first filtration setup.

If you catch a seller mislabeling water, confront them. Exposing their scam can help you get a lower price.

How to Buy Water Without Getting Scammed

Buying water can help you build your trading business before you have a steady supply of your own. However, do not spend your early money on large quantities of untested water.

Follow these rules when buying stock:

• Test bottles with your testing strips whenever possible.
• Check suspiciously dark water before paying the listed price.
• Avoid buying large quantities of 2L bottles without checking their purity.
• Save your money for equipment that can improve your water supply and processing speed.

A cheap bottle is not a bargain if its contamination makes it difficult to turn into high-quality water.

Basic Water Trading: Filtration

Your starting equipment lets you process ordinary contaminated water. However, the old demo method of using a purification pill and a pitcher filter does not always produce high-quality water in the full game.

The most important change is that water filters no longer remove microbial contamination. You need to treat microbes with purification tablets or a UV lamp before relying on filtration.

Basic filtration steps

1. Put the water you want to process into a suitable container.
2. Treat microbial contamination with a Water Purification Tablet or UV Lamp.
3. Attach a Water Filter to your water pitcher.
4. Pour the treated water into the pitcher.
5. Collect the filtered water in another container.
6. Test the result before selling it as high-quality water.

Check the filter’s durability if the result is worse than expected. A filter at 0/400 durability needs replacing before you process the water again.

Keep one or two spare filters in storage. You should also avoid filling your inventory with too many small water bottles because they take up space quickly.

Why filtration sometimes fails

A working filter does not guarantee high-quality water. There are two common reasons for a poor result:

• Microbial contamination remains: Use a Water Purification Tablet or UV Lamp before filtering.
• Chemical or heavy metal contamination is too high: Ordinary filters cannot remove enough of these contaminants to reach the high-quality threshold.

High-quality water requires at least 99% purity. Water that tests at 98–99% may need additional treatment or dilution with higher-purity water.

Intermediate Water Trading: Tablets and Purifiers

Once you start processing larger amounts of water, replacing filters will become a regular expense. Water Purification Tablets, UV Lamps, and purifier machines can reduce contamination before the water reaches your pitcher.

Here is what each piece of equipment does:

The standard Water Purifier machine is especially useful when you want to process water overnight instead of repeatedly working with a pitcher.

How to use the Water Purifier machine

You will need:

• A Water Purifier machine.
• Batteries to power the machine.
• Water Purification Tablets.
• A 2L bottle or your starting 6L jug.
• Water to process.

You can purchase the machine from the retired merchant for 345 Credits or from Doc Jackson for 375 Credits. You can also use the battery from your bottle printer if you need one to get started.

Follow these steps:

1. Add a Water Purification Tablet to the water. I recommend one tablet for a 2L bottle or two for a 6L jug.
2. If you own a UV Lamp, use it to remove microbial contamination before machine treatment.
3. Place the water container inside the powered Water Purifier.
4. Leave a 2L bottle in the machine for one or two nights. A 6L jug may need around three nights.
5. Remove the water and process it through a pitcher with a Water Filter.
6. Test the finished water before putting it up for sale.

If the result is still Basewater, try another tablet or UV treatment. You can also leave the water in the purifier for another night and test it again.

Advanced Water Trading: Dilution

Dilution helps you increase the amount of high-quality water you can sell. You combine water that has excess purity with lower-quality water, bringing the final mixture closer to the 99% high-quality threshold.

For example, mixing equal amounts of water at 99.5% and 98.5% purity gives you 2L of water at approximately 99% purity.

The same principle works with different volumes, but the final percentage depends on the purity and amount of each batch.

How to dilute water correctly

1. Test your high-quality water and note its purity.
2. Test the lower-quality water you want to mix with it.
3. Combine the two amounts in a suitable container.
4. Test the mixture again to confirm that it still meets the high-quality threshold.

Do not expect that adding any amount of high-quality water will fix a contaminated batch. If the lower-quality water contains too much chemical or heavy metal contamination, you may need to process it further first.

Pure water can also be useful for dilution because it allows you to increase the volume of water while maintaining a high final purity.

Attracting Upper-Level Water Buyers

Upper-level buyers can spend more money than ordinary customers, making them valuable once you have enough stock to display.

To attract upper-level water buyers, keep at least 350 Credits’ worth of water on display. You can also attract them by labeling most of the displayed water as Pure Water.

A full 6L jug of high-quality water is one way to build up your display value. I also recommend keeping Springwater available rather than selling it immediately, as it may help attract higher-level water merchants.

Keep these additional details in mind:

• Upper-level buyers do not appear during the first two weeks.
• Store appearance perks can increase the amount these buyers are willing to spend.
• Discounts can also increase their available budget.
• At 20 Upper Level Reputation, the water hoarders start giving a 15% tip.

Upper-level water buyers will visit your shop when you meet either of these conditions: display water worth at least 350 Credits or label most of your displayed water as Pure Water.

Expert Water Trading: Chemical and Heavy Metal Contamination

Some water remains stuck at Basewater quality even after you use tablets and filters correctly. The reason may be chemical or heavy metal contamination that ordinary filters cannot remove.

An Aquascan device lets you inspect the types of contamination in your water. You can get one at Doc Jackson’s shop when a household goods surplus reduces its price.

Use the Aquascan when repeated filtration fails to improve your water. If chemical and heavy metal contamination remain too high, you will need additional treatment rather than more passes through the same filter.

Dilution can help when the remaining contamination is low enough, but heavily contaminated water requires a more involved process.

How to Process Rustwater into High-Quality Water

Rustwater is more difficult to process than ordinary water. You need to reduce its contamination before relying on your Water Filter.

Step 1: Treat the water

Start with a Water Purification Tablet to remove microbial contamination and reduce chemical contamination. Use one tablet for a full jug.

Step 2: Reduce microbial contamination

If you skipped the tablet, use a UV Lamp to remove microbial contamination before moving on.

You can also use the HydraTech Water Purifier. This machine can improve some water that would otherwise be difficult to process into high-quality water.

Step 3: Reduce chemical and heavy metal contamination

You can also use the Sewer Tilapia to reduce chemical and heavy metal contamination. More fish can speed up the process, and the fish can survive without a filter in their tank.

However, Sewer Tilapia produce organic waste, which can add contamination that a water filter can remove. Check the water after treatment rather than assuming the fish have made it ready for sale.

Step 4: Filter the water

Once chemical and heavy metal contamination have dropped enough, move the water into your pitcher and run it through a Water Filter.

Test the final result. If the water is still below high-quality purity, continue treatment or consider mixing it with higher-purity water.

Step 5: Use dilution to save time

If you already have high-quality water available, dilution may reduce the amount of additional treatment your Rustwater needs. Calculate the mixture carefully and test it before selling it.

This can be useful when the remaining contamination is low, but it will not replace proper treatment for heavily contaminated water.

Optional: How to Scam People

Probably Stolen also allows you to mislabel water to show it as more valuable than it really is. This is a risky way to earn Credits because customers can test your stock.

You can change the labels from basewater to high-quality, such as Ghostwater or Basewater, to higher-quality categories using a labeler. However, some buyers bring their own testing kits, and customers who spot a scam may confront you.

I have also faced consequences after selling around 100L of mislabeled water.

If you choose to experiment with this mechanic, remember that the label does not improve the actual water purity. It only changes what the customer sees.
