Here’s how to gain all the achievements in URBO: Dream One. It should only take around half an hour.
How to Obtain All Achievements
Inevitable Achievements
These achievements are harder to avoid than they are to get, so I’ll just rapid-fire them. For Master, Foreman, Contractor, and Developer, be warned that sometimes directly upgrading doesn’t trigger the achievement, it seemed to be 50/50 for me.
Master
- First 5 level building
Merge 3 or more level 4 buildings by placing them adjacent to each other, or use cards to upgrade a level 4 building.
Foreman
- First 6 level building
Merge 3 or more level 5 buildings by placing them adjacent to each other, or use cards to upgrade a level 5 building.
Contractor
- First 7 level building
Merge 3 or more level 6 buildings by placing them adjacent to each other, or use cards to upgrade a level 6 building.
Developer
- First 8 level building
Merge 3 or more level 7 buildings by placing them adjacent to each other, or use cards to upgrade a level 7 building.
Planner
- First activation of the tower
Activate the central tower by merging a building within the marked squares around it. This is one of the ways to get cards.
Card player
- Get 21 sets of cards in total
Gather 21 card activations over all games. You don’t need to have 21 at once, save up cards, or earn them all in one run, so this achievement will most likely pop while you get the rest. You can gather cards by activating the tower or by merging excess buildings (i.e. merging 4 – 9 buildings instead of only 3). Merge combos also contribute to this.
Initiation
- First island completed
The easiest achievement in the game, but also the most confusingly worded. At first I thought you’d need level 8 buildings in all slots around the tower to ‘complete’ the game, but all you need for this achievement is for all slots on the island to be full. Just spam click everywhere until there are no empty spaces.
Out of the Way Achievements
These achievements are harder or more out of the way than the others, you will likely need to try specifically to get them.
Photographer
- First entry to photomode
Just click the ‘?’ button in the lower-left of the screen during a game, and enter photomode.
Edit: For the following achievements, if you’re having trouble fitting the buildings in, make sure to place the center of your cross on one of the tower square’s corners, like in this image:
Pro
- First merge of 9 buildings
Arrange buildings as follows, where o’s are any building or an empty space, just not the tier you’re trying to merge, and x’s are all the same tier (I’d recommend tier 1s for ease):
- ooxoo
- ooxoo
- xx_xx
- ooxoo
- ooxoo
Then finish the cross by placing another ‘x’ in the center. This will merge all 9 buildings and pop the achievement.
Grandmaster
- First 4x combo of merges
The setup for this is similar to Pro, but with different building tiers. I’m just gonna demonstrate using 1, 2, 3, 4, but technically you could do this with higher tiers if you want to flex. Arrange buildings as follows:
- oo1oo
- oo1oo
- 22_33
- oo4oo
- oo4oo
Then finish the cross by placing another ‘1’ in the center. This will trigger a chain reaction, merging in all 3 1s, then 2s, then 3s, then 4s, and pop the achievement.
Another (possibly easier) way of completing this achievement is to arrange your buildings like this:
- 122
- 1_3
- 443
Using an upgrade card on a Level 7 to bring it up to Level 8 doesn’t work for the achievement. I had at least six Level 8 buildings during my first game a day after it launched, where I got the achievements for Level 5, 6, and 7. I don’t remember if I used upgrade cards directly for those other level achievements.
Tried it again just now and still didn’t work, but I was able to get the achievement by using upgrade on a Level 6 that was next to two Level 7 buildings so they would all merge into Level 8.
I feel dumb. I still can’t understand how to get the Grandmaster achievement. If anyone could show a picture of the arrangement It would be greatly appreciated :’)
for grandmaster achievement you need to stack 4 levels in a chain with one placement
111223344
222334455
333445566
444556677
For Grandmaster, you can save some space and allow for more flexible layouts by putting the buildings to the side, as they won’t merge. An example, put 1 into the middle:
211
2_3
443
