Gloomy Eyes – 100% Achievements, Gravekeeper & Mementos Guide

If you’ve been playing through Gloomy Eyes (an excellent game, by the way), you’ve probably come across a few collectibles,like the Gravekeeper and Mementos,along the way. But if you want to track down every collectible and unlock all achievements, you’ll need a bit of help.

This guide will walk you through each chapter, showing you where to find every Gravekeeper, Memento, and achievement, so that you can 100% the game.

Fair warning: spoilers ahead!

Chapter 1 – Gloomy

Gravekeeper Location: At the start of the level, walk towards the light, and go behind its area of effect. The camera will then pan down to the gravekeeper.

Memento Location: Gloomy’s Drawing

When you exit out from the cave, continue underneath the slope that leads you up to a secret area. In this area, you’ll find the first memento (a drawing).

Sweet Dreams Achievement: Send a zombie back to sleep.

Once you pass over the makeshift bridge (that you made by dragging the coffin over the gap), the zombie in the coffin will sit up. Throw a bone at him to knock him out and earn this achievement.

To Zom-be or not to Zom-be Achievement: Witness a Shakespearean performance by a zombie.

At the top of the level, walk between the outhouse and the stone building. You should see a zombie sitting here holding a skull, so walk up next to him. The camera will pan and you’ll earn the achievement.

Chapter 2 – Ceaseless Routines

Gravekeeper Location: Near the start of the chapter, when you move the coffin to clear the path, go down the left path (not the right) down a slope, where you’ll find the gravekeeper sitting.

Memento Location: Old Newspaper 

Near the end of the chapter, once you exit the building by throwing a brick at the generator, crawl through the fallen tree trunk (which can be entered to the left of the two zombies). This leads you to a slope and an upper area, where you can find the memento (a newspaper).

Chapter 3 – Nena

Gravekeeper Location: When you reach the attic, pan the camera to the right, where the gravekeeper is sitting on a ledge. 

Memento Location: Nena’s Diary

Go down the main stairs, and go to the right. Here, you’ll enter an open cupboard beneath the stairs, where you’ll find the memento.

Sneaky Peak Achievement: Eavesdrop on the Machiavellian plans of Nena’s uncle.

On the stairs, pause where the gap is so you can see the uncle/priest. This will zoom into his scheming, and net you the achievement.

Music Lover Achievement: Play a good old record.

Whilst in the attic, pick up the vinyl that is on the floor. Bring it back to your room, and place it on the gramophone next to the bed. This will earn you the Music Lover achievement.

Chapter 4 – Into The Woods

Gravekeeper Location: After jumping down from the road onto the grass path, follow the path downwards (rather than through the log). Follow this to find the gravekeeper.

Memento Location: Propaganda Poster

After you climb down the cliff-edge, go towards the left (not the main path to the right). This will take you to a secret area, containing the memento (a poster).

Chapter 5 – An Awaited Encounter

The school level is the first where you’ll need to switch between Gloomy and Nena.

Gravekeeper Location: Once you’ve found and placed the two fuses in the box (as Nena), this unlocks the area the zombie was previously blocking. As you exit the school grounds, go directly to the left (not the right), where you’ll spot the gravekeeper. 

Memento Location: Backpack

When playing as Gloomy, bring the blue key (found in the leftmost toilet on the top floor) down to the room with the lockers, and unlock the door at the back left. Inside here is the memento.

Privacy Please Achievement: Open a bathroom stall door and find yourself face to face with a busy zombie.

When playing as Gloomy, go up to the top floor. There’s some toilets here – open the rightmost toilet door, and you’ll see a zombie atop the golden throne. And you’ll earn the achievement. 

Who Turned Off The Lights Achievement: Burn out the light bulbs using the generator in the school.

When playing as Nena, you can turn the generator off to de-electrify the puddle. If you spam press this button a couple of times, you’ll overload the circuit and earn this achievement.

Hoops Achievement: Score a basket.

When playing as Gloomy, once you’ve unlocked the elevator mechanism, you should see a bike shed outside. In the shed’s corner is a basketball. Pick this up and bring it to the room with the lockers, where there’s a basketball hoop at the bottom left corner. Whilst holding the basketball, you should see an option to throw it into the hop, netting you (get it?) this achievement.

Chapter 6 – The Hidden Refuge

Gravekeeper Location: Use your panorama view to spot the floating island off the main island (it’s in front of the golden waterfall). Once in front of the waterfall, take the path to the left, sticking close to the edge, and the camera will pan over to the gravekeeper.

Memento Location: Handcrafted Sun

Once you are at the top of the treehouse, continue straight forward (don’t go towards Gloomy, who’s chilling to the right), and you’ll find a hidden area, containing the memento. 

Refreshed Achievement: Take a refreshing shower in the hidden refuge.

Whilst walking around as Nena, you’ll spot a golden waterfall. Don’t worry – it won’t kill you. Walk inside the water, and you’ll gain the Refreshed achievement.

Chapter 7 – A Perilous Venture

Gravekeeper Location: After you’ve completed the first area, you’ll reach an area with a slope down the left side, and a jump to your right. Before taking Gloomy to the lower area where the cultists are sleeping, climb the slope up towards the leaking water tower. This will zoom in on the gravekeeper at the top of the tower.

Memento Location: Cultist’s Diary

In the very first area of the level, take Nena to the right side where the cultist is patrolling. He’s circling around a beige tent. Inside the tent is the memento.

Without a Trace Achievement: In the forest, steal a fuse without stopping the wagons.

Once you’ve collected the memento, without getting seen, continue past the first cultist and head down the slope. Avoid the second cultist and pick up the fuse. Make sure not to stop the wagons, as this would count as “stopping the cultist’s hard work”. If you’ve done this without getting caught and not stopping the wagon, you should earn this achievement. 

Oopsies Achievement: Get Gloomy crushed between two wagons. Zombie or not, that’s gotta hurt.

This achievement takes a bit of planning. First, Gloomy needs to get the fuse from the lower area where the cultists are sleeping. He then needs to hand the fuse to Nena. Before she puts it into the fuse box, place Gloomy onto the tracks (near to where the level started). Nena will then put the fuse in, releasing the wagon and crushing Gloomy between two wagons. 

Chapter 8 – Rising Threats

Gravekeeper Location: When you are at the top of the tower, stand right next to the telescope. This will reveal the gravekeeper sitting on a floating island in the distance.

Memento Location: Violin Score

The memento is also located right at the top of the tower. Before you sound the alarm at the top of the tower, make sure to steal the red key from the enemy patrolling in the big red puffer jacket. Sound the alarm via the button, which will cause the enemy to roll down the stairs. Then use the key to unlock the room at the top of the tower, and jump up onto the desk, where you’ll find a violin and music sheet (chapter 8’s memento).

Slackers Achievement: Find two lazy Cultists hiding and playing games in the forest.

Before you climb up the tower, go to the right, and take the path where it says “Kill the Dead”. Climb up the ledge next to that graffiti, and the camera will pan to 2 cultists playing chess with each other, earning you the Slackers achievement.

Chapter 9 – The Sunken Light

There’s three achievements to unlock on this level, and they are pretty tricky as well. 

Gravekeeper Location: To find the gravekeeper, go to the left side of the map where there’s the locked door and a generator. Use Gloomy to throw a brick at the generator, unlocking the door (but locking a second door. Put Nena into that room, and have Gloomy throw another brick. Then walk Nena out to the ledge, where the camera will pan down towards the gravekeeper sitting by the water.

Memento Location: Scientist’s Note

Half-way up the tower, there is a ledge to the left that Nena can jump across to. In this area, there’s a locker on its side, and on top of it lies the memento.

Boat Builder Achievement: Assemble a boat in less than 30 seconds.

Be patient for this achievement! To unlock Boat Builder, you’ll need to assemble the boat in 30 seconds or less. As such, bring the pieces of the boat but leave them on the dock – don’t start assembling until you have all 5 pieces. Once you have all 5 pieces, quickly pick them up and put them on the boat

Eureka Achievement: Reach the boat rudder without breaking the wooden planks.

At the back-side of the level, there’s some breakable wooden planks (with a yellow hazard sign on them) which are really tempting to break. Don’t break these, as you won’t be able to earn this achievement otherwise. For this achievement, you need to reach the rudder (which is the steering wheel that is located mid way up the tower) without breaking these planks. You don’t even need to do anything abnormal to reach the rudder anyways, apart from not being tempted.

They See Me Rolling Achievement: Make the boat’s water wheel roll for at least 2 seconds.

Once you find the water wheel (the circular, cog-looking part of the boat), bring it to the top of the sandy hill that leads up to the tower ladder. Then drop it, and it should roll down the hill. If it doesn’t work immediately, try a couple of times, as the wheel needs to roll for 2+ seconds to earn the achievement. It took me about 10-15 tries to get this working, so hopefully it’s quicker for you!

Chapter 10 – Shimmers of Hope

Gravekeeper Location: Once you reach the ferris wheel, put Gloomy in the carriage, and have Nena press the button twice. Once he’s at the top, go towards the right, and stand to the left of the trash can that’s on fire. This will pan to the gravekeeper.

Memento Location: Amusement Park Panel

Before doing anything else on this level, as Nena, go onto the carousel and walk all the way round clockwise. Below the broken stairs, you can see a titled popcorn stand, where you’ll be able to interact with an amusement park sign, which is this chapter’s memento.

If the carousel has moved and is blocking the path to this memento, then you’ll have to move it (with Gloomy) back.

This Ain’t Texas Achievement: Ride a moving carousel horse with Nena

Once you have the carousel powered up (by releasing the fireflies from the cage with blue key), you can unlock this achievement. As Nena, go to the ferris wheel and interact with one of the horses to jump on. Then, take Gloomy to the lever which allows him to move the ferris wheel, and drag it to the right. Such a sweet achievement. 

Wrong Time, Wrong Place Achievement: Crush Nena under a falling wagon. Remind me, who’s the bad guy here again?

Once Gloomy reaches the top of the ferris wheel, he needs to push down a wagon to release a firefly. Make sure that Nena is standing below where the wagon will land (in front of the trash bin), and you’ll earn this achievement. 

Enjoy the Ride Achievement: Take a full ride with Gloomy and Nena in the same Ferris wheel cabin.

Once Gloomy pushes down the wagon from the top area of the ferris wheel, put him back in the carriage. Then, have Nena collect the fireflies. This will allow the wheel to rotate on its own. Wait for Gloomy’s carriage to return to the bottom, then put Nena inside as well. Do a full rotation with both of them in the same carriage and you’ll earn this achievement.

Chapter 11 – Chilled To The Bone

Gravekeeper Location: In the same room at the summoning circle, there is an elevator. Once you power it up with the fuse, the elevator will start working. Whilst the elevator is at the top, jump down below where the elevator sits at the bottom, where you’ll find a secret area with the gravekeeper. 

Memento Location: Cultist’s Note

Once you unlock the elevator nearby the guillotine, take Gloomy up to the top area. Get Nena to bring the moveable bridge back up (using the controls). Then have Gloomy drag the bridge to the back of the screen. Then have Nena lower the bridge again (while Gloomy is standing on the bridge) and he’ll be able to access a new area where the memento can be found on top of the table. 

Hellraiser Achievement: Make Gloomy get to a pentagram. What could possibly go wrong?

In the basement-ish area of the level, you’ll spot a summoning circle. Walk Gloomy inside the circle, and he’ll die, but you’ll earn this achievement!

Pardon my French Achievement: Try to behead a zombie

Find the room with the guillotine. Bring Gloomy and a brick (which you’ll find at the upper right side of the room), and throw it at the guillotine when the zombie sticks his head in the hole. This will earn you the Pardon my French achievement.

Good Riddance Achievement: Dispose of some of the devices in the workshop.

In the same area where the memento is, you’ll notice a wagon on the tracks at the right hand side of the screen. Go up to this wagon, and push it down the tracks into the abyss. This will earn you the Good Riddance achievement.

Chapter 12 – The Salvaged Sanctum

Chapter 12 has a lot of achievements to earn (five!), so it’s likely you’ll have to retry the chapter a few times to get them all. Here they are:

Strike! Achievement: Hit at least 3 Cultists with a shockwave.

Gloomy has a special shockwave ability, where he strikes the ground and launches enemies in a short radius around him. During this fight, make sure three cultists are chasing you (I did this by just running around in a circle until three cultists spawn), and then use the shockwave ability to defeat three of them at once, earning the Strike! Achievement.

Can’t Touch This Achievement: Finish a fight without taking damage.

Chapter 12 has a couple of different fights – this is the perfect opportunity to earn the Can’t Touch This achievement by avoiding any damage.

Second Breath Achievement: During a fight, see death up close and live to tell the tale.

Okay, this achievement is pretty much the opposite of Can’t Touch This. Let yourself take a beating, to the point that your screen is almost completely encompassed by black. Then continue to survive, and the color should return along with the Second Breath achievement.

Postponed Demise Achievement: Survive the laser canon… for just a bit longer.

When the priest whips out his giant laser cannon at the end of the fight, try to stay alive as long as possible (it’s not possible to actually survive this). After around 10 seconds, you should earn this achievement.

The Quickest Claw in the West Achievement: Hit a metal block back before it touches the ground

This one is actually pretty difficult. When the metal blocks fall from the sky during the fight, you need to hit it back up with perfect timing. I spent AGES trying to do this, and I found it easiest to do with the special shockwave ability. 

Chapter 13 – Fading Hope

Gravekeeper Location: After you pass the broken wooden bridge, and climb up the side of the mountain, turn to the left (instead of the path to the right), and continue down that path. You’ll find the gravekeeper here. 

Memento Location: Gravekeeper’s Note

Once you reach the top of the mountain, you’ll find Gloomy’s grave. After the cutscene, interact with the makeshift headstone to find the memento. 

Featherweight Achievement: Fall off a cliff in the mountains

Unfortunately for this achievement, you’ll have to cause Nena’s death! Once you reach the bridge, jump across the gap that is behind it. Now, wait until the storm picks up again, and try to jump back across – this will result in a bad jump, causing Nena to fall down, and netting you the achievement. 

Chapter 14 – The Last Glimmer

No achievements in this chapter, aside from The Last Sunset achievement for finishing the game, so that one is pretty easy!

Final Achievements – Tale Lover and Collector

If you’ve followed our guide to a tee (hopefully it was all clear enough!), you will have found the gravekeeper and the memento on each level, earning you the Tale Lover and Collector achievements respectively.
