Twenty of these come naturally if you finish the story. The other eight are why this page exists — deliberate trick shots, economy puzzles, and three sub-1% grinds that even a dedicated 4-hour “100%” playthrough on YouTube ended without. The table is sorted by unlock rate, so difficulty roughly climbs as you scroll.

The Full Table

Names and conditions are the official Steam text; unlock rates were pulled from Steam’s global stats on August 22, 2026 (they drift as more players buy the game).

The Hard Eight, Triaged

  • 360 no scope (49.2%) — half the player base has it because the same spin is a money multiplier. Five minutes of practice on a cheap fish.
  • All in (13.9%) — pure roulette RNG. Bet something worthless on green and keep rebetting.
  • Easy (8.5%) — come back to the first boss with an endgame gun. A comeback trip, not a challenge.
  • Collector (5.4%) — kill all 49 species. Long, but the game tracks it for you.
  • Rich! Millionaire (3.9%) — no single fish sells for $100k; you have to stack multipliers through the casino.
  • Everyone’s dream (2.1%) — dynamite one seagull. Rare only because nobody thinks to do it.
  • Handyman (0.4%) — bare-hands final boss. Only the last hit must be a punch, which changes everything.
  • Bean (0.2%) — the rarest: finish the whole game in under an hour on a route that skips three islands.

Fishipedia (0.3%) sits with the hard eight in rarity but is pure patience: the drip variant of every species.

Worth Knowing Before You Grind

  • Co-op works for almost everything, but boss health reportedly scales with player count, so more friends isn’t automatically faster on the boss achievements.
  • Drip creatures are triple-booked: the slot machine wants them, one quest wants one, and Fishipedia wants them killed. If you’re going for 100%, kill first, gamble spares — see the drip rewards page.
  • Plan Handyman before Bean. Both want a maxed Assault Rifle; Handyman on your main save, Bean on a fresh file once the boss strats are muscle memory.

The Reference Run

Most method evidence on this site comes from one 4-hour 100%-intent playthrough — worth watching if you want to see the unlocks land in real time.
