17 achievements Guide 100%

GRIS is Nomada Studio's serene, hand-painted watercolour puzzle-platformer about a young woman working through grief. There's no combat, no death and no fail states - you just move, jump and (later) sing your way through five chapters, restoring colour to a broken world. A single run is 3-4 hours, and 100% is only a touch longer - one of the gentlest completions around.

The story achievements are all unmissable: restoring each colour ends a chapter (RedRed, GreenGreen, BlueBlue, YellowYellow, then The EndThe End), and the five grief-stage beats - DenialDenial, AngerAnger, BargainingBargaining, DepressionDepression, AcceptanceAcceptance - are scripted moments on the path. The optional side is five secrets (SandstormSandstorm, InuksuitInuksuit, ApplesApples, EelEel, Magic fowlsMagic fowls) plus the collectibles: MementosMementos (all 28 mementos across chapters 1-4; chapter 5 has none) and ChildhoodChildhood, a secret cutscene gated behind having all 28.

The key mercy: GRIS unlocks Chapter Select once you've finished, and every collectible, secret and beat is replayable through it - so nothing is permanently lost. Recommended: play once for the story, then a clean-up pass via Chapter Select for the five secrets and all 28 mementos, and do ChildhoodChildhood last (it needs every memento first).

All-the-thingsSoft-missable

Feed the forest friend

Eel

Eel

ObjectiveSoft-missable

Avoid eel bites

Chapter 4, checkpoint 2 (the giant eel chase). Get through without being caught by any of the eel's lunges - dodge every attack (no combat, pure evasion).

Anger

Anger

StorySoft-missable

Second stage

Chapter 2, checkpoint 2 (the black-and-white zone). In the heavy / block form, smash the three fragile statues cleanly - a wasted slam lifts you out of the area before you finish.

Denial

Denial

StorySoft-missable

First stage

Chapter 1 (first stage of grief). At the very start, walk right until you regain free movement, then backtrack left to the collapsed statue and stand still - Gris falls and picks herself back up on her own, triggering it.

Sandstorm

Sandstorm

ObjectiveSoft-missable

Avoid the storm

Chapter 2 (the wind / sandstorm section). Cross without ever being blown away - shelter inside the buildings (you're immune to the wind while inside them) and anchor with the heavy / block form. Don't get swept off once.

Mementos

Mementos

All-the-thingsSoft-missable

Find all mementos

Memories from the past

Needs all 28 mementos first (MementosMementos). Then select the final chapter and go directly below Gris's start point to a hidden entrance in a broken wall on the left; go in and sing in front of the sign for the secret childhood cutscene. Do it last.
