All 51 Badges & Achievements: Complete Breakdown
Welcome & Early Game Badges
| Badge Name | How to Unlock | Tips & Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome to Abyss | Join the game for the first time | Automatic – just start playing! |
| Early Tester | Play during Public Stress Test | No longer available – legacy badge |
| The First Catch | Catch your first fish | Complete the tutorial to get this quickly |
| Completed Tutorial | Finish the tutorial area | Don’t skip this – teaches essential mechanics |
| Better Luck Next Time | Die for the first time | Happens naturally – don’t worry about it |
Fishing Mastery Badges (Catcher Series)
The fishing badges are among the most time-consuming but also the most rewarding. Here’s how I recommend approaching them:
| Badge Name | Requirement | My Pro Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Catcher Castaway | Catch 25 fish | Focus on common fish in Forgotten Deep |
| Catcher Drifter | Catch 100 fish | Use Radar to find high-value fish |
| Catcher Survivor | Catch 1,000 fish | Upgrade to better tubes for deeper areas |
| Catcher Abyssborn | Catch 10,000 fish | Fish in Ancient Sands for faster progression |
Strategy Insight: Don’t just grind randomly. I found that fishing in Ancient Sands (120-300m depth) gives the best fish density for badge progression once you have the right tube.
Playtime Achievement Badges
These badges track your total time spent in the game:
| Badge Name | Time Required | Efficiency Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Playtime Castaway | 1 hour | AFK in safe zone counts! |
| Playtime Drifter | 6 hours | Multi-task while fishing |
| Playtime Survivor | 24 hours (1 day) | Leave game running overnight |
| Playtime Abyssborn | 72 hours (3 days) | Combine with other activities |
Level Progression Badges
Leveling badges track your character progression:
| Badge Name | Level Required | Fastest Leveling Method |
|---|---|---|
| Leveling Castaway | Reach Level 5 | Complete Kraken’s early quests |
| Leveling Drifter | Reach Level 20 | Focus on high-value fish catches |
| Leveling Survivor | Reach Level 50 | Daily quests + rare fish hunting |
| Leveling Abyssborn | Reach Level 100 | Endgame fishing + quest completion |
Pro Strategy: Prioritize the Kraken’s questline early on – it gives massive XP boosts that will speed up all your leveling badges.
Death & Respawn Badges
Yes, Abyss actually tracks and rewards you for dying! These are… interesting badges:
| Badge Name | Death Count Required | My Take |
|---|---|---|
| Respawn Castaway | Die 5 times | Happens naturally when exploring |
| Respawn Drifter | Die 25 times | Don’t purposefully die – too inefficient |
| Respawn Survivor | Die 75 times | Focus on risky exploration |
| Respawn Abyssborn | Die 150 times | This takes significant time investment |
Travel & Exploration Badges
These badges track your distance traveled on diving tubes:
| Badge Name | Distance Required | Best Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Traveling Castaway | 1,000m | Focus on one area first |
| Traveling Drifter | 10,000m | Systematic grid exploration |
| Traveling Survivor | 100,000m | Deep diving in Ancient Sands |
| Traveling Abyssborn | 1,000,000m | Endgame exploration + AFK travel |
Geode Cracking Badges (Stonebreaker Series)
Geodes are essential for artifact hunting, and these badges track your progress:

Bestiary Completion Badges
These are some of the most challenging but most rewarding badges:
| Badge Name | Requirement | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Bestiary: Forgotten Deep | Complete all fish in starter zone | Focus here first – easiest biome |
| Bestiary: Ancient Sands | Complete all fish in second zone | Requires better tube/gear |
| Bestiary: Spirit Roots | Complete all fish in third zone | Endgame content – very challenging |
| Bestiary: Angler Cave | Complete all fish in special area | Secret location – hard to find |
Personal Insight: I recommend completing the Forgotten Deep bestiary first – it’s the easiest and gives you a solid foundation for understanding fish mechanics.

Advanced Badge Strategies
Speed Running Multiple Badges
Based on my experience, here’s the most efficient order to tackle badges:
- Early Game Focus: Welcome → Tutorial → First Catch
- Simultaneous Progress: Fish while exploring for travel badges
- Quest Integration: Complete quests that help multiple badges
- Endgame Push: Focus on hardest badges last
Star Shard Optimization
Since badges give Star Shards, here’s how I maximize returns:
- Claim immediately: Don’t let rewards pile up
- Strategic rerolls: Use shards during bonus events
- Save for rare races: Don’t waste on common rerolls
Common Mistakes to Avoid
I’ve made these mistakes so you don’t have to:
- Ignoring the Radar: Essential for finding rare fish
- Skipping early quests: Missing out on easy XP and rewards
- Dying too much: Wastes time and potential income
- Not storing fish: Use Billy’s Bank for valuable catches
