Leatherwing Collector10

You will know which ones you haven't found before by the larger aura surrounding them. Net them and paint them to collect them. You may check your progress on every sprite in the Field Guide. The last Royal Orchid Sprite to find (and the one needed for the garden) is located on a path in the swamp area of Deep Woods, just before the cave that shortcuts back to Forest Road.

Record all Flower-Head Sprites.

There are 7 of these to find, and they glow a light orange. The most difficult sprites to find are the final ones, needed for the garden.

I simply walked through the cave back to Forest Road, and returned, and it had appeared in the same spot as the Royal Orchid.

Will O' The Wisp Collector10
Record all Will O' The Wisps.

There are 10 Will O' The Wisps, and they are fairly easy to spot. They are larger, sphere shaped and they move very slowly. Upon capture, they give a 'distraction' buff, which allows you to distract goblins (used for two other achievements).

Stray Sod Collector10
Record all Stray Sod.

There are 8 stray sods to collect, and can be easily found by the dark bush that they are guarding. These sprites look like tiny walking trees, and can be caught by running circles around them. Aside from the Sprout Sprites, they are the only ones on the ground. Look for 3 of them in the Forest Road meadow, and 4 more in the Deep Woods guarding the cypress portal tree. The final sod is in the same area of the Deep Woods, guarding the sole Beetle Mimic Sprite.


1. On the Forest road coming from the mansion head right after the log arch and keep going until you reach a field, go along the right side of the field until you come to some dark rocks after the third rock he will be right there inbetween.
2. Following along side of field from last going forward you will come to another nook on the left with one.

The last five of these guys are in the section next to the oak tree folk (teleporter) you will not be able to go far from the teleporter without A. ethier going back to the forest road or B. passing by a rock throwing goblin high on a hill. So stand next to the oak tree folk (teleporter) by his arch shaped root sticking out of the ground and have a look around whereever you see a brown patch of grass is where one will be they are all very close to one another so these last five should be obtained fairly easy.

Luckily there is only 1 of these to find, and it is in the Deep Woods maze area. On the far back wall, there is a Stray Sod guarding a little patch of grass. Daze the Stray Sod by running around it, and the area should open. The Beetle Mimic sprite will summon a clone of your character to fight you. Kill your clone (It's more powerful than the goblins you are used to) and capture this purple sprite.
Pond Skater Collector10
Record all Pond Skater Sprites.
There are only 3 Pond Skater Sprites, and they are always found over a body of water. Their locations are in order: over pond in Forest Road, the 2nd area of Deep Woods with the tree portal, and the puddle of water in the quarry where the Griffon's feather lands. These sprites are blue and move very fast. I suggest using a faerie fruit to draw them to land for a quick capture.
Fire Salamander Master10
Complete the Fire Salamander page in the Field Guide.
After collecting your first salamander, a quest will appear for Simon to collect another for the terrarium in his room. Only Simon can collect Fire Salamanders by spraying them first with his gun. Place the salamander in the tank at the foot of the bed to unlock this achievement.
Cockatrice Research20
Complete the Cockatrice page of the Field Guide.

Find all pieces of the evidence of a Cockatrice. There are 5 in total. You can check your progress in the Field guide.

1. Cockatrice feather. ( Please see location of Stray Sod Sprite 2.) capturing him will open up the path behind him so go down this deadend dirt path its at the end.
2. Stone Mouse. The part you push the log down to create a path in the forest path go to the right of the log and at the end of this path it will be there.
3. Stone Lizard. See location of Sprout Sprite 9. there is two caves here one rocky one and one grassy one with a tree with face on it at the back, so go into the cave with the tree and on the right on the gound in front of the tree is the stone lizard.
4. Stone Bird. In the Deep Woods near the oak tree folk (teleporter) there is one of his roots sticking out of the ground in an arch the stone bird is underneath.
5. Stone Frog. please see "interior decorator" achievement for location of Old Coin 3. Just underneath the tree where the old coin is is the stone frog.

Griffin Tamer10
Complete the Griffin page in the Field Guide.
Collect the Griffin feather after the cutscene where the Griffin lands. Then feed it 5 salamanders. After these criteria are met, the achievment unlocks.
Redcap Recording10
Complete the Redcap page in the Field Guide.
Redcap is a goblin leader underneath of Mulgarath. You will fight him twice throughout the game, both with Mallory. After the second encounter, you fulfill the obligations for this page.
River Troll Master10
Complete River Troll page in the Field Guide.
The first time you fight the River Troll you will have to feed him 10 Goblins to make him full. Get close to the River Troll until he picks you up, then shake the Left Thumbstick. If a goblin is near when you escape, the troll will eat him. Goblins will repeatedly run into this area, so just repeat 10 times until you defeat him. After this, obtain Simon's plastic baggie tomato bombs. Throw one at the troll to stun him, then use your squirtgun to push him to the back of the pond towards the light patch. The Rivertroll will turn to stone and the achievement will unlock.
Knocker Unlocker10
Talk to both Knockers.
There are two knockers in the game, and you must talk to them both with Simon. The first one is in the lower quarry at the far end of the goblin camp. Enter the cave and douse the fire Salamanders. Knocker #1 will slide down the pipe and tell you to seek out #2. Knocker #2 is located at the end of the caves. You can either run here from the cellar, or use the Oak tree portal in the Deep woods. Near the portal in the caves, look for a purple crystal hanging from the ceiling. Hit it with one of Simon's exploding gobstones to draw out the Knocker. As a reward, the knocker will give you a large amount of gobstones (50+) towards your gobstone achievement.
Green Thumb40
Complete Garden Sprites quest.

There are four sprites that are lost in the world and you must find them and invite them back to the garden at the mansion. These sprites count towards your tally for the other varieties, so this achievement usually comes last. The sprites only appear after your mansion has been secured by the end of Chapter 7. The four sprites are: Leatherwing, Flower-winged, Flower-head, and Royal Orchid. The locations for these four are contained within their respective categories above. Make sure after collecting them to use their powers, otherwise they will not appear in the garden. Once collected, talk to each to earn the achievement. It seems capturing one will cause another of the four to spawn, which is the cause for some confusion.

Goblin Trapper20
Trap a Goblin inside a Toadstool Ring.
Using the power granted by the Royal Orchid Sprite, cast a toadstool ring using the Y button near a Goblin. The Goblin I 'trapped' was simply touching it, not necessarily trapped inside. There is no way to aim the ring, just cast it and make sure a goblin is very close to you.
Goblin Distracter20
Send a Goblin over a cliff with a Distract Sprite.
Capture a Will O' the Wisp, and hold onto the power granted to you, which is distraction. The caves is by far the easiest place to attempt the achievement. Cycle through your powers (you have 3 at a time) using the RB button. Cast distraction near a goblin, and he should walk right off the ledge.
Goblin Roaster20
Send a Goblin into a Fire Salamander with a Distract Sprite.
Once again, use the ability granted by the Will O' The Wisp. The easiest place to do this is in Forest Road near the Deep Woods entrances, or on the backside of the garage at the mansion. Get near a Salamander, but not close to pop it. Cast distract and the goblin will wander into it. Don't worry if you get hit, they don't deal much damage.
Tour of Arenas20
Complete a multiplayer match in every ISL Arena.
Progress through the story to unlock different levels of the ISL arena. I did these achievements last. You only need one controller to do this. Set it to a low score mark, and load up and finish each of the four levels. The four levels are: Front yard (day), Front yard (night), Meadow, and Caves.
ISL Master50
Finish an ISL match in which each player scores 50+ points.
Can be done with a friend, or two controllers. Load up any level, Sprites only. Set the game limit to 5 minutes, and get 50 points with each player.
Sprites yield 1-2 points per capture, and each player can get 50 points in around 2 minutes. Let the game finish out and the achievement will unlock.
ISL Champion100
Score 100 points in a "Sprites and Goblins" ISL Arena match without taking damage.
The Front yard is by far the easiest level to do this on, as you can hide behind the toadstool ring. Use Simon, and power up his attack using A. Wait till the goblins get close, and fire. Green ones take 1-2 hits to kill, and red ones 2-3. Green Goblins give 1 point, Red ones 2, and Bull Goblins 5. You can get to around 80 points without any problem. At around 80, Bull Goblins will arrive, and they have a charge and a missile attack. You can no longer hide behind the ring, so charge out and kill them as fast as possible without getting hit. Capturing a Bellflower sprite at the onset of the match for the extra damage boost can really help at this stage. Get to 100 without getting hit and the achievement is yours (may take a few tries).
Interior Decorator50
Fully decorate Thimbletack's house.
There are 13 items to obtain for his house. They are:
1) Christmas Lights - in the Garage
2) Doily - Mallory's room on her desk
3) Toy Soldier - on the ground by a tree behind the garden
4) Old Coin #1 - large meadow on the raised hill in Forest Road.
5) Playing Cards - Using crank from goblin camp, take into quarry and use. Break wall open for cards.
6) Pocket watch - back of goblin camp in a blocked off area past knocker #1. Use bat to break.
7) Crayons - cellar
8) Postage Stamp - playing as Thimbletack, opposite direction from the safe.
9) Medal - Playing as Mallory, grab the medal from her bedpost in her room.
10) Old Coin #2 - On the tree bridge leading to cypress portal in Deep Woods.
11) Old Coin #3 - In the area where beetle mimic is, in the Deep Woods.
12) Metal Cricket - In the caves, use Simon to shoot a gobstone at a purple crystal on the ceiling (Not the knocker crystal). This will cause a rock bridge to fall. Cross it for the cricket
13) Birdhouse - Given by the quest.
Slime Boy10
Obtain Hobgoblin spit for Simon.
The Hobgoblin wants Simon to kill some Bull Goblins in the Deep Woods near the Cypress Tree Portal. Kill them all, and check your field guide to make sure you got them all. Return to the Hobgoblin and he will spit in your eye so you can see Goblins without wearing the Monocle. The Hobgoblin is sitting in the tree with the orange leaves in front of the mansion.
Phlegm Face10
Obtain Hobgoblin spit for Mallory.
This is more simple than Simon's Task. The Hobgoblin wants some birdseed. You can find a bag of it in the cellar on the back shelves.


Writer's Note: I never realized I was that long winded, but I tried to be as descriptive as I could. Many of the achievements for collecting or using characters are easiest done after Chapter 7 is complete, so you can switch easily between characters. I left out the locations for the sprites for two reasons: #1 - Would dramatically increase the length of the guide. #2 Many of the sprites, except for the ones needed for garden quest, are easily found. Please leave comments or questions. Thanks for reading!
