Celeste is Maddy Makes Games' tight, instant-respawn precision-platformer about Madeline climbing the fictional Celeste Mountain, wrestling with anxiety and a literal darker self along the way. The story runs over eight main chapters; a free ninth chapter, Farewell, was added later as a post-game epilogue.

Finishing the story is only moderately hard - deaths are cheap and Assist Mode exists (it disables no achievements except Real Gamer). Getting 100% is genuinely hard: each chapter has a remixed B-Side (unlocked via a hidden cassette), then a brutal C-Side, and Farewell is the single hardest thing in the game. The good news - golden strawberries (no-death runs) are NOT required for any achievement, which removes the worst grind, and nothing is permanently missable: every chapter, side and collectible is replayable from the overworld.

Reckon 30-45 hours for 100%. Recommended: play chapters 1-8 naturally, grabbing cassettes and Crystal Hearts as you go; then clear the B-Sides, then the C-Sides (Thanks For PlayingThanks For Playing needs all eight), then the PICO-8 achievements, and finally the Moon Berry in Farewell for Wow.

Resurrections

ObjectiveOptional

Collect the Crystal Heart in Chapter 2

Each chapter hides a single Crystal Heart, and grabbing Chapter 2 (Old Site)'s unlocks its brutal B-Side remix. It sits in an optional room off the main path that takes some tricky dashing to reach. A collectibles map or video is the quickest way to the exact spot.

Pointless Machines

Farewell

StoryOptional

Finish Chapter 9: Farewell, the free post-game chapter (reached from the overworld after the Core / Epilogue). The hardest chapter in the game - a long precision gauntlet.

Strawberry Medal

Strawberry Medal

GrindOptional

Collect 80 Strawberries

Strawberries are purely optional bragging-rights collectibles - they unlock nothing mechanical - and there are 175+ across the game, so 80 is well under half. Grab them as you explore. The key rule: a berry only counts once you land safely / finish the room after touching it, so if you die before touching solid ground it doesn't bank. Winged berries fly off if you go down, so nab those on the way up.

Eye of the Storm

Eye of the Storm
