Everyone's dream

Kill a seagull with dynamite

The name is a joke about every fisherman’s fantasy, and the 2.1% unlock rate isn’t about difficulty — it’s that dynamite is a dead-end weapon nobody carries and seagulls die faster to a punch. This is a pure setup kill: five minutes once you decide to do it.

What’s Confirmed vs. What’s Tactics

Being straight about the evidence: our verified footage confirms every ingredient — where dynamite is sold, that it detonates in water and on land, and that seagulls reliably dive-bomb fish and cooked food left on the ground. What no source shows is an actual dynamite kill on a gull (the reference runner did all his seagull killing with guns and bare hands). The bait tactic below is the community-standard synthesis of those confirmed mechanics — recommended, not demonstrated.

The Setup

1. Buy several sticks of dynamite — Island 2 general shop or the Island 4 gun store, $25 each. Treat the first one or two as throw practice; even the reference runner dumped his first attempt straight into the water.

✕

The whole shopping list for this achievement: Dynamite $25. Buy extras.

2. Find an active shoreline. Gulls patrol every fishing spot; no special location needed.
3. Drop bait: a cheap fish or any cooked food, on open flat ground, well away from your feet.
4. Wait for the dive. Gulls commit hard to ground food — this is the same behavior that steals your healing stashes mid-boss-fight.
5. Detonate on the bait spot as the gull lands. Timing the landing is far easier than hitting a flying bird.
6. If it escapes with the bait, drop another fish and reset. Attempts cost pocket change.

Mistakes to Skip

• Throwing at a flying gull. There’s a Steam thread titled “how tf do u kill the seagulls man” for a reason — they’re erratic fliers. Bait them to a fixed point.
• Standing next to your own bait pile. Dynamite self-damage is the most documented thing about it.
• Stocking up for later. After this unlock, dynamite has no role — poor boss damage, no upgrades. The whole reality check is on the dynamite page.
• Mass-detonating for fun on a completion save — one Steam review reports the game dropping to 1 FPS for ten minutes after ~100 water detonations.
