Graveyard Keeper 2

Lazy Bear Games · tinyBuild

Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements are easy to count but harder to document honestly. Steam lists 38 of them, yet five rows have no public condition, so this guide separates the live roster from anything that is still a guess. It is a source-checked checklist for the launch build, not a spoiler-heavy promise that every hidden trigger has been solved.

The Graveyard Keeper 2 review covers the sequel's Town, combat, and launch reception. This page stays focused on achievements, cumulative goals, the patch note that affects demo saves, and the exact boundary of what Steam has not revealed.

TL;DR: Graveyard Keeper 2 has 38 Steam achievements. Steam provides public conditions for 33, including 100-dish, 100-crop, 100-ingot, 50-fish, 50-zombie, and 50-sermon milestones. Five names have blank descriptions, so their triggers remain unverified here.

Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements: quick answer

There are 38 achievements in Graveyard Keeper 2, according to the live Steam achievements page. Thirty-three have visible descriptions that can be turned into a reliable checklist. The five blank rows are still part of the roster, but their conditions are not publicly confirmed by Steam.

Key Takeaways

The safest completion plan is to use Steam's descriptions as the authority and treat the percentage column as a changing progress snapshot. The important practical distinction is between a visible counter, a story event, and a blank hidden entry.

  • The Steam page reports exactly 38 achievements.
  • Thirty-three Steam rows include a public condition or threshold.
  • Five rows have blank public descriptions: The Ancient One, An Unlikely Pair, A Dangerous Romance, Two Broken Souls, and The Other Keeper.
  • The largest visible counters are 100 dishes, 100 crops, 100 bronze ingots, 100 iron ingots, 150 Inspirations, and 100 trees.
  • Update 1.006 says demo-save milestones unlock Steam achievements retroactively in the full game.
  • Current unlock percentages are useful for orientation, but they will move as the player base grows.

Overview: what the Steam list actually confirms

The live roster is the useful starting point because it gives both the total and the exact names. Steam also publishes a global percentage for each achievement, but that number is not a permanent difficulty rating. A percentage can change without the condition changing, especially during the first week after launch.

The list is also more specific than a generic story checklist. It includes Town restoration, sermons, battles, farming, alchemy, fishing, zombie resurrection, merchant orders, market stalls, and cemetery quality. That spread reflects the sequel's wider management loop, while the five blank descriptions are a clear warning against filling the page with plausible story spoilers.

That makes this a Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements guide for the whole management loop, not just a story-spoiler list. The visible counters reward ordinary play, but the blank rows need a stricter source standard.

Steam Global Achievements page showing 38 total achievements and the first visible conditions Steam's live page shows the total count, names, conditions, and changing global percentages in one place.

The official Steam Update 1.006 notes add one completion-friendly edge case: demo-save milestones can unlock their Steam achievements retroactively after moving into the full game. That is the kind of launch detail a static checklist can miss.

For Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements cleanup, that patch note is more useful than a guessed order. It tells returning demo players what to test before they abandon an existing save.

Step-by-Step: use the Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements list

This five-step route keeps the checklist useful without pretending that the hidden rows have been solved. It also prevents a common launch-week mistake: treating a global percentage or a community guess as an official unlock rule.

This Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements route works whether you are starting fresh or carrying a demo save into the full release.

1. Confirm the live roster: Open the Steam achievements page and check that the page still reports 38 total entries. If a future update adds or changes a Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements entry, the count and the conditions need to be rechecked before using this launch list.

2. Mark the cumulative counters: Keep the long-running totals visible while you play. Several Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements use public counters: 100 dishes, 100 crops, 100 bronze ingots, 100 iron ingots, 25 potions, 150 Inspirations, 50 supplies, 50 fish, 100 trees, 50 battle items, 50 zombies, 50 corpses, and 50 sermons.

3. Let the story entries arrive naturally: Several story-facing Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements are milestones such as meeting Januarius and Jully, reaching Town with Jack, finding Gunter, meeting the bandits, answering the fairy's call, finding the Necronomicon, and attending Linda's concert. Steam confirms the events, but it does not publish a complete quest route on the achievement page.

4. Watch the Town and cemetery goals separately: Town orders, cleared zones, elections, market stalls, restored houses, and cemetery quality drive different Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements. Track them as separate cleanup categories instead of assuming that a higher cemetery score completes a Town achievement.

5. Leave blank rows marked as unknown: Do not call a hidden achievement missable, story-only, or romance-related unless a source actually documents that condition. The five blank Steam entries below are intentionally not solved by inference from their names.

This method pairs well with the existing automation guide's compact factory advice, because several visible achievements reward the same production and Town systems. Players who prefer another exact checklist can compare the structure with the All Hail the Orb achievement guide, but its roster and conditions belong to a different game.

All 38 Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements and conditions

The following names match Steam's current 38-entry roster in order. The condition text is paraphrased from each public Steam description so the checklist stays readable. A blank Steam description is marked unverified rather than filled with a spoiler guess.

This Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements list is intentionally version-bounded to the live Steam page checked on September 29, 2026.

  1. A New Beginning: Begin the journey.
  2. Two faces: Meet Januarius and Jully, who appear to be the same person.
  3. A Man of Many Talents: Jack reaches the Town.
  4. Words of Faith: Deliver the first sermon.
  5. First Blood: Win the first battle.
  6. The Man Behind the Curtain: Gunter enters the story.
  7. Master Cook: Cook 100 dishes.
  8. Master Farmer: Harvest 100 crops.
  9. Friends in Low Places: Meet the bandits.
  10. A Little Magic: The fairy answers the call.
  11. Open for Business: Complete the first Town order.
  12. Bronze Age: Smelt 100 bronze ingots.
  13. Iron Age: Smelt 100 iron ingots.
  14. A Night to Remember: Attend Linda's concert.
  15. Back to Life: The Town takes its first steps toward recovery.
  16. Forbidden Knowledge: Find the Necronomicon.
  17. Novice Alchemist: Brew 25 potions.
  18. A New Dawn: Clear the South part of the Town of zombies.
  19. Stroke of Genius: Reach 150 Inspirations.
  20. The People Have Spoken: Finish the elections and decide the future.
  21. Supplier: Create 50 supplies.
  22. Fish Magnet: Catch 50 fish.
  23. Tree Bane: Fell 100 trees.
  24. Home Sweet Tomb: Raise cemetery quality to 200.
  25. Patron of merchants: Build every market stall in the Town.
  26. Alcohol Baron: Produce 100 bottles of alcohol.
  27. Warmaker: Craft 50 battle items.
  28. The Ancient One: Condition unverified. Steam's public description is blank.
  29. Merchants' Best Friend: Complete 25 merchant orders.
  30. An Unlikely Pair: Condition unverified. Steam's public description is blank.
  31. A Dangerous Romance: Condition unverified. Steam's public description is blank.
  32. Urban Planner: Restore every house in the Town.
  33. Necromancer: Resurrect 50 zombies.
  34. Two Broken Souls: Condition unverified. Steam's public description is blank.
  35. The Other Keeper: Condition unverified. Steam's public description is blank.
  36. The End of the Journey: Complete the game.
  37. True Graveyard Keeper: Bury 50 corpses.
  38. Shepherd of Souls: Preach 50 sermons.

The hidden rows are the point where a responsible checklist should stop. Their names may invite theories, but a name is not a sourced trigger. This page does not turn thematic inference into a walkthrough, and it does not label any of the five as missable without a documented condition.

All 38 Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements are named above, but only the 33 visible descriptions support a condition claim in this version of the guide.

Tips for completing Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements

The most efficient approach is to combine the public counters with normal Town progression, then reserve a short cleanup pass for whatever the live Steam page still shows as incomplete. The list has enough overlap with ordinary play that you do not need to stop every few minutes to chase a single line.

Most Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements should arrive as a byproduct of building the Town, tending the cemetery, and using the production systems.

Start a simple note for the high totals. Cooking, farming, smelting, fishing, tree cutting, brewing, crafting battle items, resurrecting zombies, burying corpses, and preaching all ask for repeated actions. Steam gives the numbers, but it does not state whether a future balance change will count old saves differently, so record progress from the current build rather than relying on a percentage alone.

For Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements with counters, the number in the Steam description is the useful planning fact. The global percentage only tells you how many players have reached it so far.

Use Town restoration as a second track. Open for Business, A New Dawn, The People Have Spoken, Patron of merchants, and Urban Planner all point at settlement progress, but their conditions are not interchangeable. A player can make progress on one without completing the others. The Best Base-Building and Colony Sim Games list is broader genre context, while the Denshattack achievements guide shows how another exact roster can be organized without mixing visible and hidden conditions.

Town-focused Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements are the best reason to keep a separate cleanup note for buildings, orders, elections, and zombie-clearing progress.

Do not restart a demo save just because a milestone did not pop at launch. The official 1.006 note says demo-save milestones unlock Steam achievements retroactively in the full game. That does not reveal every hidden trigger, but it does give returning demo players a documented reason to continue with the same save first.

Treat the percentage column as a triage tool. A low percentage can mean a late-game story event, a large cumulative number, or a system that many players have not touched yet. It cannot prove that an achievement is bugged or missable. For comparison, the Big Walk achievements guide uses the same distinction between an official roster and unsupported trigger theories.

That distinction matters most when a Graveyard Keeper 2 achievements percentage looks unusually low during launch week.

If you want a second source for checklist presentation, the Black Jacket achievements guide, Dave the Diver jungle achievements guide, and Rift Wizard 3 achievement guide are useful examples. They do not verify the Graveyard Keeper 2 hidden rows, and none should be treated as a substitute for the current Steam page.

Steam Update 1.006 page showing retroactive demo-save achievements and the Defender's Emblems fix The 1.006 announcement matters for returning demo players because it documents retroactive achievement unlocks.

What remains unverified

Advertisement

Five achievement conditions are not established by the public Steam roster: The Ancient One, An Unlikely Pair, A Dangerous Romance, Two Broken Souls, and The Other Keeper. Community posts may contain spoiler claims, but this article does not promote them without a source that can be checked against the current build.

That limitation is deliberate. The official Steam page is strong evidence for the names, total, visible descriptions, and live percentages. It is not evidence for a hidden description that it does not display. If Lazy Bear Games or an established wiki publishes a confirmed trigger later, this section can be updated without rewriting the visible checklist.
