Wicked Island: Broken Achievements, Feedback Needed (Workarounds)

How to fix it

1. Start the game in English

   • Launch Wicked Island and make sure the language setting is set to English before you begin playing. The crafting‑related achievements have been reported to work only when the game runs in this language.

2. Do not open the cheat menu

   • While playing, avoid using any cheat functions. Activating cheats appears to interfere with the tracking of several achievements.

3. Leave your character’s appearance unchanged

   • Refrain from altering your avatar’s look (skins, outfits, etc.). Changing the appearance has been linked to breaking achievement progress.

4. Play the relevant content normally

   • For the achievements that are still functional, complete the associated quests or actions without the above restrictions:
     • Divine Mantle – collect the full Goddess set (will become available once the quest is implemented).
     • A Promise Kept – finish Isabell’s questline.
     • Stay a While – finish Aeron’s questline.
     • Leap of Faith – successfully loot 10 hidden jumping‑puzzle chests.
     • Earthshaker Mine – mine 5,000 ore nodes (this one still shows progress for some players).

5. Check progress after each session

   • After completing a milestone, exit to the main menu and verify that the achievement counter has updated. If it hasn’t, repeat steps 1‑3 and try again.

If it still doesn't work

• The following achievements are known to be broken for many players, regardless of language or cheat usage:

  • Messy Work – turn 50 enemies into gibs.
  • Painting the Town Red – turn 500 enemies into gibs.

• If you have already followed the steps above and the progress for these or any other achievement does not register, there is currently no additional workaround. The issue appears to stem from a recent hotfix that broke the “gibs” tracking and possibly other progression checks.

• Keep an eye on future updates from the developer; they are collecting reports and plan to address the remaining broken achievements. In the meantime, you can continue to earn the achievements that still function while waiting for an official fix.
