BirdGut is a new, free to play title on Steam. This game features a total of 22 achievements for players to unlock while playing. To help you unlock all of these achievements, we’ve put together the BirdGut achievement guide below. Use it and prosper (or get some achievements at least).

Achievement #1: Get Eaten

  • Achievement Description: “Get eaten by the bird.”

To unlock this first achievement you need to get eaten by a bird. This is done by completing the tutorial area and reaching the employment office. At the employment office speak to the bug in the office and then you will watch a brief cutscene where you get eaten.

Achievement #2: The First of the Hidden (Esophagus)

  • Achievement Description: “Discover the Skull of the First.”

Reaching the stomach of the bird in BirdGut.
When you reach the stomach of the bird you will unlock this achievement.
  • Achievement Description: “Reach the stomach of the bird.”

Achievement #4: The Second of the Hidden (Stomach)

  • Achievement Description: “Discover the Skull of the Second.”

This skull is located just before the entrance to Stomach City. There is a snail which launches explosives at you. Normally you use these explosives to kill the snail and get a block.

To get this skull make your way through the stomach’s upper zone until you reach an area with the charging bugs and a bunch of large crates. The bug needs to charge for you to advance.

    Great guide- this helped me get all the hidden skulls.

    One minor correction to your guide though; the ninth of the hidden is located in the colon- not the large intestines.

    Thanks for the help 🙁
