Valheim Achievements Guide: All 53 in 1.0 and the Ones You Miss

Valheim 1.0 has 53 achievements. The names and wording below come from the official Steam achievement list for Valheim (app 892970), read on 2026-09-30. Seventeen of the 53 are hidden: Steam shows a name and no condition. Three are the ones players report missing most — Child of Odin, Comfort is King and The Gourmet — and one rule outranks all of them: using dev commands permanently locks achievements.

Where the 53 comes from

The count is not a marketing claim; it is the list Steam serves for the game. Thirty-six entries carry an official description and seventeen carry none. The hidden ones are almost all story spoilers: the eight Forsaken boss kills, the opening beats, and the collect-everything meta achievements that finish with Child of Odin. Nothing in the game’s own patch notes states a total, so treat the Steam list as the source for the name and the count, and the patch notes as the source for anything that changed after launch.

The three most players miss

Child of Odin. This is a bundle, not a single task. The official condition names four other achievements — The Toughest Viking, The Master Hunter, The Survivor and The Pathfinder — so it only fires once all four have fired. The Pathfinder is the usual blocker: travelling far in all four directions without using the map means putting the map away for the whole run. This was also one of the two achievements that did not unlock correctly before Patch 1.0.16.

Comfort is King. The official condition is blunt: reach a comfort level of 20. Comfort comes from the rested bonus furniture around your base, so the work is stacking high-tier comfort pieces in one building. Which exact pieces are needed is not something the official list spells out, so this page only records the threshold. This was the second achievement Patch 1.0.16 fixed.

The Gourmet. You have to eat every kind of edible item. Two things make it slow: the list is long, and Patch 1.0.16 excluded one unobtainable item, the Blue Mushroom, from the check. If you were stuck at 100% eaten and nothing happened, updating to 1.0.16 is the first thing to try.

Achievements and dev commands

The most expensive mistake in the game is not a death. Valheim’s official 1.0 FAQ states that using most console commands — spawn is the example the FAQ gives — flags both the character and the world save and permanently locks achievements, with only a few exceptions such as freefly.

Two details from the patches matter here:

Patch 1.0.15 changed how the flag works: items touched by dev commands are no longer marked as cheated for characters that have the dev bypass command enabled, and they can stack together again. The same patch confirmed that a fix for players who were flagged by mistake was still coming and would ship with the other platforms so crossplay would not break.
The FAQ rule still stands for a normal, unmodded save: if you want achievements, do not run spawn.

Full command list, exactly how to open the console and how to clear a temporary cheat state live on the console commands page.

What Patch 1.0.16 fixed

Patch 1.0.16, released on 2026-09-25, listed two achievement fixes and one exclusion in its own patch notes:

Child of Odin was not unlocking correctly.
Comfort is King was not unlocking correctly in some cases.
The Gourmet was excluding an unobtainable item — the Blue Mushroom — which made that achievement impossible without help.

If you already met the conditions before that patch and nothing fired, the honest answer is that the patch fixed the unlock bug, not that your progress can be rewritten for you. Update first, then re-check the specific condition.

How to check your progress

On PC, achievements live on the Steam side. Open your profile’s achievement list for Valheim to see which ones have fired; the hidden entries stay hidden until they unlock.
If an achievement should have fired and did not, work through this order: (a) has this save ever used devcommands; (b) is it one of the two that Patch 1.0.16 repaired; (c) is the game actually updated to 1.0.16; (d) is the progress on the same character and world you are checking.
For the count-based ones, compare against the thresholds above rather than trusting a feeling — 500 pieces and 500 trees are far more than most players assume.
