Goblin Cleanup Achievements: Known Trophies, Tips, and 100% Routes

For reference only: the exact 2026-11-09 Steam review counts and USD prices quoted in this article come from a historical store-page capture that is not retained with the audit package. Treat those figures as an unverified snapshot, not as current live values.

What the Goblin Cleanup Achievements List Contains (Dated Snapshot)

Goblin Cleanup achievements are the main reason to keep scrubbing blood off dungeon ceilings long after you have learned the routine. The game is still in Early Access, which means the trophy list is a moving target rather than a fixed checklist, and knowing which Goblin Cleanup achievements are documented, which came from the old playtest build, and which guides actually solve them will save you a lot of wasted shifts.

As of 2026-11-09 (store page captured at 03:28 UTC), the official Goblin Cleanup Steam page showed 26 Steam Achievements via its "View all 26" link, alongside Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, single-player and online co-op for up to four players. Crisalu Games developed the game and Team17 publishes it; the Early Access launch date listed on the page is September 18, 2025.

Because the studio has publicly said the full version will add more tasks, creatures, traps, dungeon themes and cleaning mechanics, the achievement count can shift with any patch. The top news entry at capture was Patch 8, dated November 6, 2026, covering bug fixes and Twitch Drops changes, following the Pirate Bay Content Update and Grime Scene Twitch Drops on October 30, 2026.

Price is worth recording as a snapshot too, not as a standing fact: that same capture displayed a 35% promotion taking the $19.99 base price to $12.99, with a countdown timer attached to the offer. Treat that as the state of the page on November 9, 2026 and check the store itself before buying.

Documented Goblin Cleanup Achievements So Far

Two sources give us actual requirement text. The Steam store page names four achievements in its showcase tiles: Wrong Profession, Cleaning Legion, Graduation Day and That's Against Company Policy. Separately, TrueSteamAchievements' playtest list documents eight achievements with descriptions for the December 5, 2024 playtest build (App ID 2757650).

Two names, Cleaning Legion and Graduation Day, appear in both the playtest list and the release build's store showcase, which suggests the wording carried over. That is a strong hint, not a confirmation — treat playtest descriptions as likely but unverified for the 26-trophy release list.

Playtest Build vs. Release Build

The playtest is a separate Steam app with its own achievement set, so do not assume parity. The playtest carried 8 achievements; the release build shows 26. If a guide or forum post references a number or name that does not match your in-game list, check which build it was written for before you follow it.

This matters most for the requirement text. "Merge four slimes into one" or "cook a meat piece" could plausibly have been reworded, renumbered, or folded into a larger progression achievement by an Early Access patch. When a description is missing entirely — as with Wrong Profession and That's Against Company Policy — skip the guesswork and open Steam's Global Achievements stats, which the Steam Community guides hub links to directly.

Practical Tips for Cleaning Up the List Faster

A few habits make the achievement grind less painful, based on what the documented requirements actually ask for:

• Finish the tutorial early. Graduation Day rewards the introduction, so it is the cheapest unlock on the board.
• Book a co-op partner before hunting the social achievements. It was an accident! names a friend as the target, so a solo lobby will not get you there.
• Use the slime dispenser deliberately. One Slime Army restricts you to a single slime for an entire level's blood, so run it on a short dungeon you already know and plan your path before you start spraying.
• Combine cleanup experiments. Unlimited Power (fiery slime) and Nice and Crispy (cooked meat) are small actions you can slot into a normal run instead of dedicating a whole session.
• Check every cosmetic slot for Fashionista. Character customization is a tagged feature on the store page, so open the menu and fill each slot rather than assuming a hat counts as a full outfit.
• Re-check your list after each patch. With Patch 8 arriving in November 2026 and more dungeon themes planned, a new achievement can appear in the same update that fixes bugs.

Community Routes to Specific Goblin Cleanup Achievements

As of 2026-11-09, the Steam Community guides hub listed nine entries under the Achievements tag. Several target exactly the frustrating spots in the list, and player experience from those write-ups is often more useful than a written description.

Classy Cthulhu's "100% Achievement Guide" is the broadest starting point, describing the achievements and the approaches the author recommends. Norgad's guide covers a solo clear for I Hate Overtime, which is encouraging for anyone hunting without a squad. Rique published a stack of short walkthroughs, including video routes for the Off The Beaten Path / Safe Passage trophies, a lockpick guide for the trophy the author calls "Esqueci a gazua" (Portuguese for "I forgot the lockpick"), and a fire-slime explainer for Unlimited Power.

Two of the nine guides focus on ticket and XP farming instead of a single trophy. LaChouette's route advertises 130 tickets in about 1 minute 15 seconds — that figure is the author's own claim and was not independently verified here — while IsaIzzy covers ticket bags and ticket/XP grinding. If progression gates are what is slowing your Goblin Cleanup achievements, those are the guides to read first.

FAQ

How many Goblin Cleanup achievements are there? The Steam store page listed 26 Steam Achievements as of 2026-11-09. Because Goblin Cleanup is in Early Access and the developers have said they plan to expand content, that number can change with future patches.

Are the playtest achievements the same as the release ones? Not exactly. The playtest build documented by TrueSteamAchievements had 8 achievements, while the release build shows 26. At least two names, Cleaning Legion and Graduation Day, appear in both, but the playtest requirement text should be treated as likely rather than confirmed for the live list.

Can I unlock all Goblin Cleanup achievements solo? Many of them, yes — the game supports single-player, and a community guide specifically covers a solo route for I Hate Overtime. Some are clearly easier or only sensible with another player, such as the one that requires killing a friend with a mimic.

Where can I see how rare each achievement is? Steam's Global Achievements stats page for Goblin Cleanup, linked from the Community guides hub, shows completion percentages for the player base. Those percentages change constantly, so check the page itself rather than relying on a number quoted in an older guide.
