Stealthy Achievement Guide
This achievement is unlocked in the second half of Chapter 3, the Autumn Forest. It starts after you have slept at the campfire.

A Calicorn stampedes through a wooden barricade and is attacked by a giant, spooky bird creature. Heal and tame the Calicorn after the cutscene and lead your herdling through the tunnel.

Move forward until you reach a narrow path with strange-looking totems made of branches and whatnot.

Guide your Calicorns through the gap, and they will knock over the first two totems. These wake up and alert the giant bird to your presence.
Don’t worry, the bird will settle down again. Just make sure not to knock over another totem while they are alert. I recommend holding the guide and slow buttons to have tight control over your herdling’s movement. You can always stop your Calicorns if you need to adjust.
Head through the tunnel under the bird after slowly guiding your herdling around the clumps of totems.

Continue forward until you come to a second section filled with larger clumps of totems. Take it slow and don’t disturb the bird.

Around the corner, you will see the bird perched above another tunnel, with a second path to the right. Both paths link back up after this section, so just pick whichever is easier for you to reach.

There is one final stealth section, which you will know you have reached when you see this rock monument. The totems give it away, too.

Slowly navigate your way through the last clumps of totems and leave the spooky part of the forest through the tunnel beneath the giant bird.

If you didn’t disturb the bird once during your ordeal in the Autumn Forest, the achievement should pop once the game quick saves after the last stealth section.
Congratulations! You remained undetected and have unlocked the Stealthy achievement.
