Cookie Clicker: Every Shadow Achievement (& How to Get Them)

Not every one of the achievements in can be seen when you are looking to finish the game 100%, so you need to do other tasks to complete these secret goals. Also known as Shadow Achievements, these objectives can't be seen in your stats until you have finished them. Every secret accomplishment you can earn in the game takes more effort to do as you explore the game.

Unlike other achievements for , the shadow achievements are listed as by the game itself. Many goals have strange prerequisites or objectives ranging from confusing to seemingly impossible. However, with enough patience and careful planning, you should be able to meet every secret goal if you dedicate enough time to learning what steps you must take.

Widely held as one of the first (and best) idle games, Cookie Clicker can keep players busy for countless hours, but can anyone actually beat it?

You can get 17 total Shadow Achievements in Cookie Clicker, each taking a different amount of time to complete. Some tasks are difficult, while others may be easier than you initially realized. None of these achievements count toward your Milk percentage, so don't worry about whether the process to meet various goals interferes with other gameplay elements.

Shadow Achievements don't show up in the game unless you have completed them. Some achievements have special quotes referencing their completion to help you track which ones have been done already.
