Released: standard PC edition and Boating Update guide · Updated 2026-10-13
Check starting NPCs, tools and limits before retrying. Even with many collected feathers, races limit how many you can use.
Avery's three races
Growing flowers helps during races too. Fastest input sequences to each finish are not listed.
| Objective | Place/condition | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Lighthouse | Blackwood Trail | The lighthouse door is the finish. Three feathers available. |
| Abandoned building | Ribboned tree overlooking the graveyard | Head to the western abandoned building. Five feathers available. |
| Summit | Visitor center after the first ascent | Head to Hawk Peak. Nine feathers available. |
Boating: two minutes for a feather, 45 seconds for the achievement
Cross the bridge north of the graveyard and rent the key at the boat hut for 100 coins. Take the bored daughter aboard, finish the acceleration conversation and start the race.
- The first race includes a breakdown event. Passing every gate alone is not the end.
- Ask the captain for repairs, then talk to the daughter to retry.
- Distinguish the golden feather's within-two-minutes condition from Not A Scratch's under-45-seconds condition. Avoid collision penalties from rocks.
Other completion conditions

| Photo | Fox near the summit | Talk about your ascent → lend feathers → meet again at the summit. |
| Toast | Center | Talk to Jon at 17:00 local device time and eat it from your inventory. |
| Extinguishing fires | Island campfires | Extinguish four with a filled bucket. |
| Ending | Aunt May's house | Finish the post-summit conversation and choose to sleep. |
