Se hace camino al andar
"The Path is Made Through Walking" "Avoiding repetition of words remains a stylistic rule. Today I make my own rule by repeating the same words as rain repeats the same raindrops and the part the same studs."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: I always hear people say that wealth plays a factor in success. I'm starting to believe them.
 * Hint 2: Certain creatures of the sea may provide convenience.

Earn 1 million studs within a single play session and then return to Windy Island. This is most efficiently obtained by either constantly grinding the Ocean Lab dream's jellyfish which hold 5,000 stud blocks on their heads, allowing psycharpaxes to do the work for you by letting an army of them loose in the offices of Fissure Outpost, or by having the game do the work for you through AFKing in either the Ocean Lab boat or one bought in Graveyard Sea. Be sure not to rebirth too much...

This badge awards The Sword of Bunker Hill, a reskin of the average Linked Sword. It is a formidable weapon, and triumphs over most others. It also is great for parkour, as it can greatly slow your descent.

The World as an Idea
"'There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.' This quest was available for two years, but it has now been sealed."

Reach the neutral ending of Dream Game without gaining a repose (without sleeping and waking up more than one time). When you reach the dream of this badge with no reposes, you are given the option to destroy the world or buff the difficulty of TWAAI.

TWAAI has been sealed off permanently and will only be unsealed following the first person to get Final Transmission; the first person will have the final condition to triggering TWAAI.

It is currently unknown on how to reach this place.

Awardees:

Morgeta: Brahmin - Dialectally. Void Stars

Sworn Enemy of Reality
"Rarely are sleepwalking activities destroyed by great tragedies; they are often destroyed by mountains of owe studs."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: Death is one of the ways sleepwalkers get mountains of owed studs; there are also a variety of psionic actions that lead to that sleepwalker's fate.

Accumulate -10K studs in debt and return to Windy Island.

This badge currently awards nothing.

Repercussions of Fissure
"There are moments in life when man has no longer the right to desert."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: As I drift off, I pray that tomorrow will be my lucky day.
 * Hint 2: I woke up to the sound of a strong breeze. It feels like the wind is calling out to me.
 * Hint 3: The real bloxxers were the friends we made along the way.

This badge is pure RNG; it's a 1/100 chance. You have to hope and pray that the 'WEEE ARE THE BLOXERS, My friendzz' event happens to the Windy Island - it doesn't count if it happens in a dream. Once it occurs in a server, everyone who joins the server afterwards will get the badge on Windy Island. This is usually obtained while attempting to gain Death Wielded or normally as you play the game.

This badge awards the Surefire Slingshot.

Humble Beginnings
"It ain't much but it's working."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: Infiltrate the holes of their institution.

Find the Illuminator in the Fissure Outpost. The path to obtaining this item is detailed here.

This badge awards the Illuminator.

From the bottom of one's heart
"Join Nick in the Guardian."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: On the coast of the outer frozen isle, the deep blue is revealed.
 * Hint 2: Why should I care for a boat when a pastry dish will suffice?

Visit The Guardian in Ten-Mou. The path to do so is detailed here.

This badge awards A Shudra's Task and the Ten-Mou Pie.

Cautionary Tale
"There's something to be feared on a man who has nowhere to run."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: Cold War Security.
 * Hint 2: Seek shelter from the blast.

During the event in Ocean Lab where the aircraft drops a bomb on the laboratory, quickly use something such as a Vaisya's Broom, Cloud Coffee alongside the Net, or Shiny Net's special Q button to quickly reach the inside of the laboratory, where you then must enter one of the bomb shelters that are located in the corners of the main room, signified by the iron bars lining the walls inside them. They are in the same places where the bathrooms would be, but don't enter the bathrooms! I would advise to memorize the interior layout of the laboratory before attempting this badge, as it is difficult and requires a stroke of luck.

Once the bomb has dropped and you have survived within one of the bomb shelters, go to the only open entrance and follow the path around where you should then find the Bald Agent. Talk to him and you should get the badge, although he will blow himself up...

This badge currently awards nothing.

Stealth Pilot
"In order to be a portraitist you won't have to paint and portray all robloxian faces, but you have to be able to paint and portray all robloxian faces."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: You're tired, drink some coffee.
 * Hint 2: Patience and tears.
 * Hint 3: Your memories need to cool off.

Use some Cloud Water on the Xigeris Fire in order to put it out and change its teleporter to the Storage sublevel. Then, find Novice Creator sitting atop a small structure in the ocean map, and wade through his very slow dialogue until you get the badge.

This one takes a lot of luck with the RNG for emptying the coffee (or just find a Empty Mug in a dream and fill it with tearballs), and a lot of patience for the NPC's dialogue, which makes it very time-consuming to get. This badge currently awards the Stealth Pie pie skin, +32 MaxHealth, +1 WalkSpeed, and the Firmfired Slingshot.

Eye of The Storm
"Everyone needs a break every now and then."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: An arcade is an essential part of any man cave.

Defeat Lugs in the Lugs fight sublevel, accessed via the arcade machine in the Pink Swamp cave.

This badge awards you with +10,000 starter studs permanently every time you join a server and the Eye of the Pie pie skin.

Death Wielded
"To sleep in my homeland along the coils of the rising smoke..."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: The writing is on the walls and we've all been counting towards it.
 * Hint 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1GQsxqN12s

Reach 1,000 reposes in one sitting. This takes roughly just as much time as getting "Se hace camino al andar" but is much easier, as you can just get an autoclicker to repeatedly sleep and wake up in a private server while you go do something else until you get the badge. Make sure nobody can join your private server during this, though, or they might grief you! It happened to me once, so it shouldn't happen to you.

It's important to remember that it's based on total server reposes; thus, donating to the server through the waterfall in Pink Swamp can halve your journey, or let you catch up from where you left off. The halving happens because the server gains 1 repose every time it would normally happen, and donating just adds to that counter.

Upon your 1,000th repose, the Death Wielded event will happen. Anyone who is in the server when the event occurs obtains the badge, not just the person with the 1,000 reposes.

This badge awards the Tech Sack, a useful bomb which reveals Dreamsphere residents of the past and unlocks the Checkpoint mode for the Crowbar; accessed through pressing Q to switch between each mode and E to set a checkpoint in Checkpoint mode.

Net The Creator
"Someone suggested I make this kind of badge so I've come with my own version. Chances are you got this while I was AFK."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: Debth to rights.
 * Hint 2: Every mountain spring must first be fed.

Cause VerticalAscent, the game's creator, to become "burgerless" by eating a cheeseburger near him while he has negative studs. This allows you to net him. This badge awards the Golden Net, a slightly better version of the Silver Net.

Killing Machine 1991
"Unlock the skill "StunCircle" in the Delete Hammer. [Q]"

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: Give in to the hammer's demands...

Crush 25 total heads using the Delete Hammer. Mafiosos and Psycharpax will work. This will usually take a while, as the Mafia only have a chance to spawn in specific dreams regardless of how much stud debt you are in and due to Psycharpax being a little scarce.

Tips: You have to murder the entities only using the Delete Hammer. Killing them using another item first or having someone else kill them for you will not make the head crushable for you.

When you finished crushing the heads, press [Q] and you'll unlock the "StunCircle" ability for the Delete Hammer. signified by a lightning bolt appearing on the hammer's icon. To obtain this effect again, simply crush 5 heads..

This badge permanently unlocks the AoE StunCircle ability for the Delete Hammer and awards the hammer.

Pie Hiker
"Reality is a illusion caused by the lack of pie hiking. Reach the top of the Debris."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: Debris is the only thing left after a siege.

Reach the "top" of the Debris using a pie tool. This dream is a depth dream accessible by climbing one of the mountains in the TenterHook dream.

This badge awards you +10,000 starter studs permanently every time you join a server and the Pumpkin Pi pie skin.

5
"Break the cycle and escape the box."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it.
 * Hint 1: Pay attention to the red whispers.
 * Hint 2: Repeat only what is spoken to you.
 * Hint 3: Today, I picked up an old hat...

Defeat Xigeris. To defeat Xigeris, the player must enter Tidal Locking after completing Bloxen and obtaining the Guardia in Exile. If one already owns the hat, simply equip it and go straight to Xigeris.

Formerly, the badge was only obtainable to those who had owned the Guardia in Exile, which was on sale from November 17, 2009 to April 14, 2016, then again from June 1, 2018 to June 4, 2018, before becoming a Limited on November 25th, 2022. The badge does not require the Roblox item anymore.

This badge currently awards the ability to use the "Examine Entity" action in your Combat Actions.

Cycloid
"Was everything really building up to this moment?"

Reach the Frospitality abyssal dream. It is currently unknown on how to reach this dream.

This badge unlocks a shortcut to Frospitality from Ten-Mou, in the form of a secret hatch.

Each day better than the last
"Upgrade three iconic items in a single session."

Hover over the blurred text to reveal it. (subject to change)
 * Hint to the three: The old man's gift, a frozen delicacy, and a classic weapon.


 * SILVER NET:


 * Hint 1: Tasty treats can take you a long way up.
 * Hint 2: One man's trash is another man's treasure.


 * GOLDEN TACO:


 * Hint 1: Good food is always heated before consumption.
 * Hint 2: The tears of your enemies taste taste the best. Probably better on something, though.


 * WEAPONIZED SLINGSHOT:


 * Hint 1: Within frostbitten walls.
 * Hint 2: The frozen soul sheds a tear.

Obtain the Silver Net, Weaponized Slingshot, and Golden Taco and bring all 3 to the overworld together. This badge is very time-consuming, but more than worth it, as it gives all 3 items to you permanently.

Here’s the full tutorial:

For this badge, You'll need to get 3 items; the Upgraded Slingshot, Silver Net And The Golden Taco.

To obtain the first item, the Upgraded Slingshot, You need to obtain any of the following badges; Repercussions of Fissure or Stealth Pilot for the Firmfired Slingshot. Repercussions requires RNG and you gain it through reposing (you’ll eventually get it) while Stealth Pilot can be obtained through a simple not rng-based method.

Once you have the Firmfired Slingshot, you grab either the Fissure Soda, Top32, Zone or ApocBR sodas from the Juice Ex Machina. For the next step you can either have a person or NPC.

One player needs to grab the Ice Cream in Dying Mall, then another player grabs the Cheezburger from Robber's Fate. The first player spams the Ice Cream until their character turns Baby Blue, Once this happens, the other player should spam the Cheezburger until the first player will cry ice blocks. Hold out the Fissure Soda and you’ll get the Iced Fissure Soda.

Give this to Blue John in Ten-Mou and repose until you reach Ten-Mou again and talk to Blue John for the Upgraded Slingshot.

For the Silver Net, you first need the Temporary Wood Net from the iceberg obby in [Ten-Mou]], or the Permanent one obtained from From the bottom of one's heart. Both work the same.

Head to Graveyard Sea to grab 37 wrappers/cans. (Preferred to grab wrappers) Then eat/drink the cans/wrappers and net them. Once you're done, Grab a Spicy Watered Soda. Next, net 13 hats these can be: the Chasers hats (or your own by pressing; [=] or [BACKSPACE]). Then head to Ten-Mou and Buy the Cloud Mug.

Lastly, Go to the Pumpkin Gate and give the blue pumpkin the Cloud Mug, and the red one the Spicy Soda Water. You’ll then get the Pumpkin Gate to turn Silver, Interact with it and you’ll get the Silver Net.

For the last step, the Golden Taco, head to Ten-Mou and buy the Frost Taco. Then Go to Vulcanic Heights, Climb the mountain and go to Xigeris Fire. Stick out your Frost Taco into the fire and you will get a normal Taco. You can also use the Grill Island in Graveyard Sea to thaw the taco.

Finally, with your Cheezburger head to Fissure Outpost and spam the Cheezburger near the Chasers. These will make them cry oil tears, pull out your taco on top of one of the golden tears and you’ll obtain the Golden Taco.

Then Wake up and Gain the Badge! This badge permanently unlocks the Silver Net, Weaponized Slingshot, and Golden Taco.

Climb to the top of the tower in the Garden of Fulfillment depth dream using the stairs, or alternatively perform the "Frog Jump" glitch (Guide here) with a Wind Berry NPC.

 * Hint 1: How much I desire to meet the creator of dreamsphere?
 * Hint 2: I have to make myself pure.

Read a more compact version of the guide with no explanations here.

--- PRE-REQUISITES ---

Must have less than 10 rebirths in :stats

Reason why: Return to Axis as the name says is a badge about returning to the foundations, each rebirth is a fall of grace, a mistake, fatal error. When you reduce your rebirth count through prayer, Nashatra is recognising her mistakes and looking to cleanse herself from the faults that led to these mistakes, among other flaws and immoralities that are not really highlighted in the game.

REturn to Axis, REbirth, the very act of rebirth is the return of order. The badge at it's icon shows religious imagery, indirectly hinting that Nashatra's relationship with what's religious, with God, is at play here, and prayer is one of the mechanics which we know is part of this relationship.

Before the prayer update, this step was merely "don't rebirth 10 times in the same server".

Must not be in debt, must not own "Sworn Enemy of Reality"

Reason why: In order to have a fruitful relationship with God you need to fulfill your duties and pay what's owed.

Must not kill, or capture NPCs in the same server.

Reason why: These actions push Nashatra further into her sins even if some can be justified (killing mafioso for self-defense), the malevolent aspect of these actions gives distance to her relationship with God and thus makes the badge not achievable. This actually does not apply to Chasers.

Must have less than 32 reposes.

Reason why: This one is more obscure and arbitrary. Stacking reposes speaks of experience and previous actions performed in the game, the more you progress in the narrative of the game the more you submit Nashatra through changes.

The less reposes you have, the more you appear reminiscent of purity and of foundation, that is to say, the more you appear new to the game and more connected to it's beginning.

Of course, having less reposes doesn't mean you are pure, but it is a reminder of purity, which is necessary for Nash.

Must not go to the Mall

If you visit the mall it completely nullifies any chance of you obtaining the badge in that server. The mall is filled with hedonistic items that encourages dispersion, the losing of oneself through distractions and material pleasures. Like Cazas says "It will only destroy your soul!".

Must not eat any candy, hotdogs and drink soda without the Golden Taco effect

Reason is the same as the one of not visiting the mall.

-- ONLY 6 OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS MUST BE DONE, CHOOSE THE ONES OF YOUR LIKING --

Must visit the Owl Dream

Owl Dream is a predominant reminder of Josafá, and Nashatra's connection to him, hinting again at the religious theme.

Must visit Graveyard Sea once to see her name written on the grave.

Nashatra's grave at The Forge and The Crucible, "Tel qu'en Lui-même enfin l'éternité le change", which translates to "Such as into himself eternity finally changes him" means that when a life ends, it closes, and acquires a form, and this form allows us to distinguish what was accidental and transient in it and what is stable and definitive.

When Nashatra sees herself in the tombstone, she's speculating on what kind of life she has led, and what kind of form she would acquire through death. This means she's trying to imagine the center that makes up her, her "Nashatra" instead of "Nash".

Must read Tanyo's epitaph at Vulcanic Heights

This encourages Nashatra to reflect on her death, just like imagining her tomb at Graveyard Sea.

Must drink the PowerTool bottle enough to get it stuck on your nose

The Powertool is a Old Roblox reference, "Pros use the Studio tools to build". Old Roblox being the foundation to the Roblox we know today, it makes sense. Aside from that, the PowerTool is the purest drink in the Juice Ex Machina, even having a unique shape in comparison to the soda cans. It's lack of branding and texture speaks of purity, and it's lack of interaction with objects (cannot be used as ammo for Weaponized Slingshot, Pax will not spawn at it, etc) says the same.

Must drink Cloud Water

Like PowerTool, another symbol for purity, since "tearballs are a universal solvent."

Must use the Refrigerate at Ten-Mou

This one speaks for itself, as refrigerate is a "regen" button.

Must use the tape recorder at Ocean Lab.

A sequence where Nashatra speaks with herself, with her center.

Must stay 10 minutes at Windy Island.

Nashatra points out Toa Zuku describes Windy Island as "of no place and every place." and she herself says that Windy Island has a tranquility that "invites what you think, say and do to become the center of attention". Thus pointing Nashatra to her center, her axis.

-After 6 of those actions are done in a clean state, Nashatra will be prepared to go to the Axis. Use the hammer in the massive cube at the BallRoom to break it open, this will take a few times Pie Hiking back and forth.

-It opens to a heart in the center, it makes Nashatra reflect on the core of things which unlocks the path to Infinite Grey This badge unlocks a shortcut to Infinite Silver from Windy Island, in the form of a statue.
