Guide for getting all achievements in Stranded Sails – Explorers of the Cursed Islands.
Introduction
The game isn’t very hard, and you will most likely get most of the achievements just by following the story. After completing the story, you can continue playing, so no achievements are missable.
Maps with all collectibles
For some reason a few collectibles are not marked on the maps, so I marked them myself.
Besides the collectibles, each island has different fish, crop seeds and spice seeds, which you also need to collect.

Honorable Warrior
Defeat 100 consecutive waves of easy difficulty enemies in the Ancestor’s Trial
Each trial took me around 30 minutes. To make the trials easier, do it during the day, have Teresa’s hat perk, and bring some food with you.
Powerful Warrior
Defeat 70 consecutive waves of medium difficulty enemies in the Ancestor’s Trial
Legendary Warrior
Defeat 50 consecutive waves of hard difficulty enemies in the Ancestor’s Trial
This one was a bit tough, don’t be cheap and bring some good food with you.
I wish the game had a dodge or a block, getting stunlocked by red pirates is very frustrating.

In total there are 8 hats. 5 are unlocked from the crew stew, and the last 3 from trials.

You don’t actually need all items in the game, for example pearls, tentacles, feathers and worn-out dice are optional.
