Keeper: Unlock The Nucleus Achievement Guide

Use our Keeper: Unlock The Nucleus Achievement Guide to nab another missable achievement.

Keeper is here. The latest game from Double Fine, the creators of wonderful games such as Psychonauts and Brutal Legend, launched on 17 October. You take control of a sentient lighthouse and must make your way through a surreal world with your little bird companion.

Double Fine is renowned for the weird and wonderful, and Keeper seems to be no exception.


Keeper: Unlock The Nucleus Achievement Guide

To unlock the “The Nucleus” achievement, you’ll need to find another statue in the game. It is in the Wither Sprawl chapter, for the purposes of chapter select.

This statue can be found in the area of the game when you’re a boat. It’s the second main section of being a boat, after the cutscene where you become a lighthouse again temporarily, and it gets a bit dark…

You’ll have to solve some easy enough puzzles where you need to take out some barriers using your lamp and another power source. This requires you to move an energy orb to a new location using pipes and such. Eventually you’ll get a short cutscene where the Chief creature guy comes riding in on the back of a turtle like creature towards a large structure.

As you continue up from there, you’ll reach another orb that you’ll need to get to a large creature that will destroy a barrier blocking the way.

Go through the barrier and stick to the left. There will be some contaminated purple water that needs you to focus your lamp (RT) on it to get rid of it.

Once the contaminated water is gone, head to the right and go through the waterfall (classic).

Once through, head to the back of the cavern and use your focused lamp on the flower to construct the statue. Approach it to unlock the achievement.


There are 13 achievements to nab for the 1000G in Keeper, and they’re all missable bar one, but they uncover lore of the game through the achievement descriptions. So they’re worth finding. Check out the rest of our guides below. There is a chapter select so you can go back if you miss anything.
