Corsair Cove: All Achievements Guide

The complete Corsair Cove achievement list — every unlock condition, organized by category. Plan for three playthroughs and a little save-scumming for the coin ones.

Last updated: Aug 22, 2026 · translated and compiled from the community full-achievement guide (includes hidden achievements; light spoilers)

The three-playthrough plan

The community consensus: 100% requires three save files (progress is shared across saves for several grindy achievements):

Run 1 — Skull Rock story mode: recruit Amara, clear all side quests and events, and unlock all four Principles, then save. Mop up anything you missed here.
Run 2 — Devil's Hollow (unknown mode): finish the main story, then lock the file.
Run 3 — Ship Graveyard (unknown mode): finish the main story, then lock the file.

Coin achievements

Achievement	Take All
Condition	Obtain 10,000 coins
Achievement	No Mercy
Condition	Obtain 100,000 coins

Important: big-event rewards and treasure loot do not count toward these. Only small events, trading posts, loan sharks, and duel arenas count — and the progress is shared across saves, which enables the community's favorite trick:

SL farmingKeep a save with a freshly-built Loan Shark building. Borrow coins, then reload and repeat — the progress persists across loads, so the 100,000 coins achievement can be farmed in minutes instead of hours.

FAQ

How many playthroughs for 100%?

Three — one per map's main story (Skull Rock, Devil's Hollow, Ship Graveyard).

What's the hardest achievement?

No Mercy (100,000 coins) is the grindiest — but the SL loan-shark trick makes it trivial.

Do achievements share progress across saves?

Several grindy ones do (coin totals, crew hired, buildings built) — the community explicitly relies on this.

Is the hidden achievement list big?

There are hidden achievements, but the guide above covers them all with conditions.
