Brothers achievements: Love Birds, Black Sheep and optional discoveries
Selected original-game achievement actions and the two-part Love Birds requirement.
Edition covered
The original 2013 game, using the original Steam app’s pictures and one-player control scheme. The 2024 remake and its local co-op are separate; later ports can add their own controls or modes. The ending guide contains major spoilers.
Early optional achievements
These actions are off the direct objective path. None of the examples below requires finishing the whole story first.
| Achievement | Area | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Take a Break | Prologue | Take the beach side path and interact by the water |
| Wishing Well | Chapter One | Use the younger brother to drop the girl’s ball into the well |
| Black Sheep | Chapter One | Carry a sheep to the cold firepit and place it in the soot |
| Bunny Buddies | Chapter One | Put the white rabbit in the same soot to match the others |
Later discoveries to check
Use chapter selection to revisit missed interactions. Love Birds requires two linked actions in different chapters.
| Achievement | Area | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Love Birds | Chapters One and Four | Free the caged bird, then find the reunited birds through the inventor’s telescope |
| Call of the Giants | Chapter Five | Follow the side path to sound the giant horn |
| Behind the Curtain | Chapter Six | Steer the boat behind the red waterfall |
| Turtle Soup | Chapter Six | Return the three small turtles to the water |
Love Birds needs the earlier cage
The telescope scene alone is not enough. Release the bird beside the sheep-bridge area first; later aim the telescope toward the birds and zoom in.
This table is a selection, not all twelve
The original game has other optional achievements, including Falling Star, A Sad Tune, Windpipe and Whale Song. Chapter replay lets you clean up a missed interaction without restarting the full journey.
