Summit/main route
On the snowy mountain, spent feathers do not recover on ordinary ground. Divide the climb using hot springs and platforms.
Read the guide →20 golden, two silver
An index distinguishing purchases, direct pickups, requests and boating. G13–G16 are four feathers from the same seller; one table row does not equal one feather.
Read the guide →27 sprout locations
A filled bucket hinders climbing. You can also collect water in a high pond and descend to lower sprouts.
Read the guide →14 ordinary fish species
Get the rod from the angler at Meteor Lake's bridge; obtain the journal by giving the captain three different species. Rare color variants are not treated as necessary for the same condition.
Read the guide →Races and requests
Check starting NPCs, tools and limits before retrying. Even with many collected feathers, races limit how many you can use.
Read the guide →Four treasure maps and rare fish
The four maps are found in different places from their treasure. Obtain the regular shovel, dig at the landmark and open the chest.
Read the guide →Types of additional content
Fishing and boat races were added through main-game updates, rather than separately sold gameplay DLC. Their acquisition and progression are covered in the standard-edition guides.
Read the guide →12 achievement conditions
Check summit, feathers, fish and sprouts separately from optional photos and hats. Do not add the PlayStation platinum to Steam's 12.

Destinations by objective
The island is not a single straight route. Since the camera direction changes, obtain a compass from the wolf on the coast before relying on directions.
