AK-xolotl Trophy Guide

After a short tutorial, you will be transported to a hub area. From there, proceed through the big door at the north end and your first actual run will begin, unavoidably unlocking “The rampage begins.”

The “Gotta hatch ’em all” trophy will unlock when you collect an egg for the first time. You’ll likely find your first by traveling to an egg pond. You’ll find these behind doors marked with an axolotl head icon.

Side-note: You don’t and actually won’t have to “hatch ’em all.”

“Hello Pond” unlocks the first time you die and get sent back to the Pond. This will happen a lot.

Once you have an Axolotl Egg from a run, you will need to hatch it in the gardens at the east side of the Pond hub area.

Once done, there will be an “Axolittl” baby Axolotl in its place. You need to nurture this baby axolotl every time you return to the pond until it grows up into an adolescent Axolotl.

From there, you need to feed it a meal to grow it any more. Access the cooking pot at the center of The Pond and cook up any meal using the ingredients you’ve collected on your adventures.

Take the cooked meal with , bring it to your adolescent Axolotl, and feed them the meal with .

They will then eat the meal and begin transforming into an adult Axolotl, which you can now choose to play as! The first time you do this, you’ll unlock “They grow so fast…”

The Pond Pincer is the very first Boss you will face on your way through AK-xolotl’s roguelike dungeon. Upon defeating it, you will receive the “Moustached” trophy unavoidably!

Hell’o Kitty is the second Boss you will face on your way through AK-xolotl’s roguelike dungeon. Upon defeating it, you will receive the “DMCA” trophy unavoidably!

The Sock It Snake is the third Boss you will face on your way through AK-xolotl’s roguelike dungeon. Upon defeating it, you will receive the “Laundry time” trophy unavoidably!

Fish n’ Chipzs are the fourth Boss you will face on your way through AK-xolotl’s roguelike dungeon. Upon defeating them, you will receive the “Chipzs out” trophy unavoidably!

You will unlock the “Breaking space and time” trophy unavoidably upon completing a run for the first time. There will be a very tough final boss to get through, but you’ll be rewarded with this trophy once you finally best it.

One down, Nine to go.

Upon completing your 10th full start-to-finish run of AK-xolotl, and beating Cthulotl for the 10th time, you will unlock a very well-deserved Gold Trophy; Winner winner time for dinner.

Eventually, you will unlock the ability to use the Blisstaker Crystal at the Pond to absorb the happiness of Axolotl Babies in exchange for permanent upgrades.

The way this works is that you would raise a baby’s happiness so that it is ready to grow up, by nurturing it each day. Instead of growing the baby, though, bring it to the Blisstaker Crystal and place it on the ground next to it.

Interact with the Blisstaker Crystal to activate it, and the happiness will be sapped from the baby. You will then need to nurture it a few times before it can be grown again, but you’ll have some happiness to spend on permanent upgrades.

To unlock the Apex Form trophy, you will need to purchase everything that you can from the Vulture NPC at the Blisstaker Crystal.

Everything the Vulture sells must be purchased using Happiness that you’ve harvested from your Axolittles. See Happiness Farmer .

You will need to buy absolutely everything in stock to unlock the trophy, so make sure you always nurture Axolittles after a run and bring them to the crystal to harvest happiness instead of growing them to the next stage.

After you earn gems in a run for the first time, when you return to the Pond there will be a new NPC there. A dog, who has a bunch of Vending Machines.

Purchase just one item from the store using the Gems you’ve gathered and you’ll receive the Capitalism 101 trophy!

The Droppin’ Doggo shop is a corner of the Pond with several vending machines, run by a dog in sunglasses. This dog will accept gems in exchange for new items. You won’t get these items immediately, but they will be added to the pool of available items during your subsequent runs.

To unlock the “Cool, cool, cool, cool” trophy, you will need to collect Gems from Gem Rooms and Bosses on your runs, then bring them to the Droppin’ Doggo shop at the Pond to purchase items.

Keep doing this until the dog has nothing left to sell.

The Small Paws Dealer is a corner of the Pond with large stalls, run by a cat.

This cat will accept gems in exchange for new weapons. You won’t get these weapons immediately, but they will be added to the pool of available weapons during your subsequent runs.

To unlock the “Purrchase Perfection” trophy, you will need to collect Gems from Gem Rooms and Bosses on your runs, then bring them to the Small Paws Dealer shop at the Pond to purchase items. Keep doing this until the cat has nothing left to sell.

Still trying to figure out why it’s called the Small Paws Dealer? Yeah, it confused me too. It’s a play on “Arms Dealer.”

The “Cannibalism??” trophy is very easy to unlock. All you need is a baby Axolittle. Once you have hatched one, pick it up with , walk it over to the Cauldron at the center of the pond, and then press again to place it on the ground near the cauldron.

The trophy will then unlock immediately. Easy!

Frogs are known in-game as “Croakers,” and they hang out in all areas.

These tough amphibians have a lot of HP and throw boomerangs at you, which you’ll need to keep an eye on so they don’t clip you from behind on their return trip.

To unlock the “Indie frogs slayer” trophy, you will need to kill just 25 of these. It shouldn’t be too difficult to pull off and will likely happen naturally.

Caterkillahs are a very weak enemy type that are easy to avoid and even easier to kill. To unlock the “I think I stepped on one (thousand)” trophy, you need to kill a cumulative total of 1000 of these.

This might seem rather doable—and it definitely is—but you might be surprised to learn this is one of the biggest grinds in the game. You’re looking at hours upon hours of replaying runs and hunting these critters down, so get a good series ready to watch while you do this.

While Caterkillahs do seem to be more common in the first Level, you can find them in other levels too.

You’ll make a lot of progress toward this trophy naturally while you work on your 10 complete runs, but I highly doubt you’ll earn it naturally.

After a short while, a Baboon will come and open a business at the Pond, in the lower-left corner. You can speak to this Baboon to check your journal, where every enemy, weapon, and item you have discovered so far is cataloged.

To unlock the Diabolical trophy, you will need to find and defeat each enemy at least one time, logging them all in the Journal. Once the Enemy page of the journal is full, the Diabolical trophy will unlock.

You will no doubt unlock this naturally while working on Winner winner time for dinner.

The Selection of Primary Weapons available to you will evolve over time as you complete more and more runs, progressing further and further each time.

You will unlock this naturally, maybe even before you’ve successfully completed a run for the first time.

Doraditos, as you may have guessed, are the small golden triangles you collect throughout the game. They appear in abundance throughout a run, but you will lose them when you die or otherwise reset.

They can be spent at the Hyena’s field shop to better equip yourself for the current run.

To unlock the “Stonks” trophy, you must collect a cumulative total of 500 Doraditos in one run. You can safely spend these Doraditos and don’t need to have 500 on you at one time, but when you die or restart, this counter resets.

Whenever you defeat a boss, you’ll get to visit a small rest area immediately afterward, where you can rest up and heal.

On the left side of this area, fishing in a pond, you’ll see Chipsz and, next to him, a bucket of blue fish.

To unlock the “Bucket” trophy, all you need to do is shoot this bucket, destroying it. Remember to grab the fish it leaves behind.

Challenge Rooms are typically found behind doors with a gem icon in front of them.

In these rooms, you’ll have to defeat multiple waves of enemies, some of which are big and tough. They’re like any other room, just a little bit tougher and with better rewards.

Honestly, you’re very likely to earn this naturally while attempting to complete 10 full runs.

Just get yourself killed in-game a cumulative total of 100 times to unlock the Git Gud trophy. This has a rather high likelihood of unlocking naturally as you play, but if it doesn’t (because you’re already “Gud”), it’s a simple trophy to farm.

Start a run, take damage ’til dead, repeat.

Do you remember Rickrolling? From like 2010? Well, AK-xolotl’s developers do.

To Rickroll yourself by unlocking the “Never gonna give you up” trophy, you just need to perform a roll maneuver 537 times. You can roll by pressing .

I would imagine that you’ll be rolling a hell of a lot. It’s the best way to avoid damage and you can dodge through whole walls of bullets using the roll ability. Therefore, I also expect that you’ll earn this trophy naturally.

If you do not, however, just get out there and start mashing !!

From Level 3 onwards, when you enter a Gun Room, there’s a good chance that the chest at the end will be a mimic.

When you interact with the chest to claim your reward, the chest will transform into a turret. Back away quickly because if you’re too close when it finishes transforming, you’ll take damage.

Fight and defeat this robot enemy to unlock the “Surprise!” trophy.

This is heavily reliant on RNG and you could either get extremely lucky and find it with ease, or find yourself stuck laboriously hunting one down for hours on end.

AK-xolotl has hidden rooms that you can find. To find one, you need to shoot at either the left or right-side walls with a gun (I recommend switching to your primary to not waste ammo). If you successfully find one, the wall will crack a small amount.

Shoot the crack in the wall to break open a secret entrance.

The first time you enter one of these, you will unlock the “Did you hit all the walls?” trophy.
