The Main Story Achievements (Spoiler-Free)

The Completionist’s Path
These achievements are for the dedicated survivors who want to see and do everything that Castor Woods has to offer. They require you to go beyond the main story and fully complete all side content and character progression.
- Good Samaritan (Complete all side quests) This will be one of your most time-consuming achievements. To unlock it, you must find and complete every single optional side quest in the game. Be sure to thoroughly explore every safe zone and settlement, and talk to every NPC with an exclamation point over their head. Some quests may only become available after certain main story missions are completed, so be sure to revisit old areas as you progress.
- Ultimate Survivor (Fully regain your survival skills)
- Ultimate Beast (Fully unlock your inner beast) Dying Light: The Beast features two main skill trees: the traditional “Survivor” tree for parkour and combat skills, and the new “Beast” tree for your powerful new transformation abilities. To get these two achievements, you must purchase every single skill in both trees. The best way to do this is to complete quests and engage in combat, but also keep an eye out for activities that grant large amounts of XP.
- We’re Safe Here! (Activate all safe zones)
- And Then There Was Light (Activate all transformer stations) These two achievements are essential for any player. Activating all the safe zones and transformer stations across the map will not only unlock these achievements but will also make the world significantly safer to navigate, especially at night. Make these a priority as you explore new regions.
Combat Achievements: A Masterclass in Mayhem
These achievements are a direct test of your combat prowess and your creativity in dispatching the infected.
- Experiment on the Loose (Defeat your first chimera) The Chimera is a powerful new special infected, a true boss-level threat. You will encounter them during specific quests and as rare, formidable enemies in the world. Come prepared with your best weapons, a full stock of healing items, and be ready for a tough fight.
- Apex Predator (Kill a Volatile) The iconic apex predators of the Dying Light universe are back and as deadly as ever. To get this achievement, you must kill a Volatile. The safest way to do this is to engage one during the daytime. Find a dark zone or a tunnel where they are hiding, lure one out into the sunlight where it is weaker, and use your UV flashlight, traps, and most powerful weapons to take it down.
- Gunslinger (Do 6 headshots with a revolver within 20 seconds) This requires precision and a bit of setup. The easiest way to get this is to find a large, slow-moving horde of Biters. Attract their attention and let them shamble towards you in a group. Then, use a slow-motion aiming skill if you have one, and carefully line up six quick headshots with a revolver.
- Iconic (Kill an enemy using a Dropkick) A fun and easy achievement that celebrates one of the series’ most beloved moves. Simply get to a high point above an enemy and execute a dropkick to unlock this.
- Firefighter (Kill 112 enemies with the flamethrower)
- Hexakosioihexekontahexa (Kill 666 enemies using your beast-like powers) These are two of the game’s biggest grind achievements. The Flamethrower is a new weapon type perfect for crowd control. The best way to rack up kills for “Firefighter” is to find a new Volatile Nest at night and unleash the flamethrower on the swarming enemies. For the “Hexakosioihexekontahexa” achievement, you should make it a habit to use your powerful “Beast Mode” abilities as often as possible throughout your entire playthrough.
Vehicular Carnage and Crafting
- I Still Don’t Approve of Mindless Fun (Kill 500 zombies with your vehicle) Vehicles are back in The Beast! To get this achievement, find a vehicle and take it to the more open, countryside-like areas of the map. Find a large horde of zombies on a road and simply drive through them repeatedly.
- Kylin McCrane (Win gold in all Travis’s races) This achievement is for completing a series of vehicle-based challenges given by an NPC named Travis. These are likely time trials or checkpoint races that will test your driving skills.
- Craftsman (Upgrade all blueprints to their maximum) This is a major late-game grind that will require you to collect a massive amount of rare resources to fully upgrade every weapon and item blueprint in the game.
- Craftsman’s Apprentice (Install your first weapon mod)
- Blacksmith (Repair your weapons 50 times) These two achievements will come naturally through normal gameplay as you learn to maintain and improve your gear.
The Collector’s Journey: Collectibles and Exploration
These achievements are for the most thorough explorers who leave no stone unturned.
- Cabinet of Curiosities (Find all collectibles)
- Know What ‘Castor’ Means? (Find all Castor Woods Beavers)
- And Don’t Forget to Wash Your Hands (Find all of the “Hidden Truths with Spark” podcast recordings)
- What Happened at the Asylum (Find all secrets about the St. Valentine Asylum)
- Family Picture (Find all Fischer family newspaper clippings) To unlock these achievements, you must meticulously explore every building, cave, and hidden corner of Castor Woods. Keep an eye out for the distinct glow of collectible items.
- Crane on a Monument This is a classic “climb the highest point” achievement that will test your parkour skills. Look for the tallest structure on the map—be it a radio tower, a skyscraper, or a mountain—and find a path to its summit.
- Sunday Morning (Run at least 10,000 meters) You will unlock this very early in your playthrough, likely within the first hour, simply by running around the world.
