Vessel

When getting this achievement, you skip past a protoplasm, so it's a good idea to save manually here so you can reload after to get the protoplasm, or reload if you miss the jump and die on the spikes!

When you start the mines, you'll arrive at an elevator.

• Jump off the right side of the elevator and hold down 'left' and you'll hug the left wall, missing all the spikes.
• You'll eventually land in a green cave.
• Jump off and hold left again and when you hit the bottom you'll get this achievement.

You can then reload your save so you can take the elevator and get the protoplasm.

As soon as you get the light and dark fluro seeds, you'll do one short puzzle, and then arrive at an area with four pipes and you need to flick a switch at the bottom.

If you mess this up, just choose 'Reset Current Puzzle' from the menu to try again.

• Drop light seeds in the two left pipes and dark seeds in the two right pipes.
• Then put a light seed at the bottom of the short ladder and water it.
• Now alternate pulling the lever pushing the fluro down, killing it, and letting the water fall onto the next seed.
• Rinse and repeat!
• Try pulling the lever before you start a few times and you should get the idea!

To get this achievement you just need to do this all in one go, back and forth until the switch gets pushed once the water reaches the bottom seed and you push him over to the right with the light.

There are 9 machines in total to fix.

As you play through this level (the factory), you'll come across some machines that are blocked because of Fluros.
What you need to do is destroy the Fluros there and the machines will start working again.
This is actually a part of the game/story, as you need to do this in order to complete the level.

You'll get to a point where there is an overhead rail that you need to ride down.

Manually save your game, and you then need to ride the rail all the way down without letting any water touch the lantern.

Take your time, you can control it pretty easily. There are always breaks in the water that is falling.
If water touches the lantern it will dim a bit, if you notice the light has dimmed, you should reload and try again.
You'll get the achievement when you get to the bottom.

/!\ MISSABLE /!\

This trophy can only be obtained in the Introduction level.
If you missed it, you'll have to start a new game, but don't worry as it is near the beginning.

Shortly after receiving your first seed, you'll walk through a tunnel with a grate in the floor, then out a door which a fluro opens for you.
There will be a waterfall that you have to walk through, the waterfall falls into a grate.

Save your game so you can reload if this doesn't work.

Hold out your seed and let water collect around it/you and then walk off the ledge to the left.

Drop the seed and the fluro should move off to the left.

Follow it until it jumps onto a switch and you get this achievement.

If you fail or it doesn't work, reload and try moving a little left before dropping the seed, and make sure you have enough water.

You can unlock this trophy as soon as you enter the Orchard.

Not far into the Orchard, there's a water cannon pointing into the air between two trees.

You need to touch the top of the water above tree level.

The easiest way to actually trigger this is by balancing and riding the water up onto one of the floating islands, then jumping onto a tree, then onto the top of the water, this will trigger the achievement.

After the fourth windmill, there is two pipes shooting blue goo out the left and red goo out the right.
You need to attract/pull/push some red goo into the gap in the middle of the pipes, drop a fluro seed, then add blue goo to it.

If it forms before exploding, you get the achievement.

The problem is that red/blue combo is explosive (stand back!) and if you combine the colours too early/late it explodes and you don't get the achievement.
This can technically be done at this time, but if you have problems with it, move on with the game until you obtain the green cannister in the mines.
Come back to this location with a full green tank, and it can be easier to get the achievement by putting some red in the gap, dropping a seed, and quickly spraying green, and then a tiny amount of blue. The green keeps the red/blue from touching so it doesn't explode.

To do this you just need to collect all 10 protoplasm blobs in the factory.
Some are

• hidden throughout the factory,
• one is obtained by repairing the 9th machine,
• and the final ones are all at the end as you ascend the ladder.

You can only hold so much protoplasm at once, so don't be afraid to go back to the workshop, upgrade your gear, and then come back and get more protoplasm.
Don't forget to collect any partial blobs that you didn't fully vacuum up!

Walktrough Video (with clickable timestamp)

1. After you fix the 1st machine, you'll reach an elevator.
   As you ascend, stop the elevator to enter a small a cave to the right.
   Complete the puzzle to get access to the blob (5:00)

2. Before you reach the 3rd machine, you'll find a machine that spits both lava and water.
   You need to stop the water by placing some seeds near the pipe in order to stop the spinning hooks.
   When you make it across, you'll see the blob below you.
   You need to do the same thing with the lava in order to reach it (8:40)

3. After you fix the 3rd machine and climb the stairs, you'll find a huge spinning wheel.
   You must spin at a high speed and throw yourself at the top left of the screen to reach a cave with the blob (10:40)

4. Before the 7th machine, you'll have to create some steam in order to raise a platform.
   Get on the platform and you'll see a red arrow pointing to the right.
   Ignore it for now and go to the top to find the Blob. (22:05)

5. This blob is near the end of the level when you go through the columns with numbers and it is past column #9.
   You'll have to fix all 9 machines to unlock it. (30:35)

7. 8. 9. 10. The final four protoplasms you can't miss, right after you exit underneath the boss you beat. (35:55)

To do this you just need to collect all 5 Protoplasm Blobs in the Orchard level.

1. After you get the tank for the Blue goo, you'll reach a bridge with a waterfall.
   If you jump on the tree and climb the waterfall, you'll enter a cave where you have to complete a puzzle to get access to the blob. (12:10)

2. Before you reach the 6th windmill, you'll fix some cable cars/platforms. Ride it all the way but don't continue when you land. Instead fall down the cliff while staying as right-most as you can and you'll enter a cave with the blob (29:00)

3. This blob is near the end of the level when you climb the stairs with numbers and it is past #6. You'll have to fix all 6 windmills to unlock it (31:40)

4. 5. After you destroy the machine at the final puzzle of the level, a blob will fall down. (37:20)

To do this you will need to collect all 5 Protoplasm Blobs in the Mines level.

1. At the very beginning of the level take the elevator and ride it down.
   You will soon see a ledge to the right.
   Ignore it and go to the ledge below, also to the right.
   Make a water Fluro to stand on the switch, then go up to the previous ledge to get the blob. (0:50)

2. When you get the Liquid Luminescence Journal entry, instead of heading to the right go down below where you guided the Fluro to flip a switch and drop down the ladder. (4:45)

3. After you fix the 3rd extractor, you will enter a new area and you'll meet the Dark Fluros.
   If you spray the ground near them with the Green goo they run away.
   You need to make them run all the way to the top of the platforms to flip a switch and drop the protoplasm. (14:50)

4. You will see this blob high on a ledge.
   The only way to get this is to create a Drinker seed (the one that goes after its own material) and use Protoplasm as its liquid.
   The Fluro will climb the ledge and eat the Protoplasm.
   Now just spray some Protoplasm on the ground and he will come down for you . (28:10)

5. This blob is near the end of the level when you go down the stairs with numbers and it is past #6.
   You'll have to fix all 6 extractors to unlock it. (34:15)

This will unlock when you collect all protoplasm blobs in the game.

If you have collected all blobs as you were going through the game, then this will unlock the moment you collect the last one in the Mines.

There are 20 blobs in total:

• 1 in the Introduction level (which is unmissable).
• 9 in the Factory level.

• 5 in the Orchard level.
  https://steamhunters.com/stats/Vessel/achievements/20/achievements
• 5 in the Mines level.

Drop a dark seed and then spray half green goo, half protoplasm.

It may take a few tries to get it to work.
Let him run/jump around a bit and the achievement should trigger.

Best place to do this I found was the right side of the Accelerator, then he just jumps around on a platform back and forth and you can suck him back up once you get the achievement.

Try getting the 'Grand Professor' achievement below before trying this manually, because you'll probably accidentaly get this achievement while you're trying to get that one.

Go to the tray underneath where you spray protoplasm to upgrade your equipment.

• Spray some goo into the tray, then drop a normal seed in.
• Suck that fluro into your pack including it's eye.
• Spray it back out into the tray, there should now be goo on the floor with an eye in it.
• Drop in a Chaser seed, once it's formed, suck it up same as before.
• Spray the goo out and you now have goo in the tray with two eyes.
• Rinse and repeat until you have all five eyes.
  Do the dark seed last because as soon as you make him he'll run off to the right and jump off the building !

You'll get the achievement once you've made a fluro with all five eyes.

When you get the journal entry popup "Mass Production" you will be at a puzzle with a crank at the top, a switch next to the ladder and a fluro turbine on the right.
Turn the crank to fill the machine with water, then go and jump on the switch.
Quickly climb the ladder, and jump down onto the fluro when it's standing on where the water enters the turbine.
You can repeat this if you miss the jump.

You will have naturally got the first two ones by playing the game.

Basically all you need to get this is make a fluro of every combination except using protoplasm.
So make a blue fluro using each of the 5 eyes, then a green using each of the five eyes, and so on.
Once you've done water, blue, green, red and lava, it will unlock.

You can do this easily in the workshop when you've unlocked all the liquids.

The liquids and the seeds are the following :
LIQUIDS

• Water
• Lava
• Blue Goo
• Red Goo
• Green Goo

SEEDS

• Basic
• Chaser
• Drinker
• Light
• Dark
