How to unlock the Higher Ground achievement in Lake - Definitive Guide

This achievement seems glitched.

I could unlock it only at your 1st day of work (September 2th).

The church is at the end of the small path to the left of the town (Main Street).

For those like me who may not want to delete all their saves, I managed to unlock this on the in-game date of September 11 by *loading the autosave* from that morning. This was my second, full playthrough (I wasn't aware of the church during my first playthrough because I went in blind). On the very first day of my second playthrough, I drove directly to the church, heard Meredith say the line, no achievement. Every day after that, I drove directly to the church each morning and she never repeated the line, and no achievement. On September 11, however, when I loaded the autosave, I again drove directly there, and she repeated the line this time and the achievement popped immediately. I'm on a Series X.

I'm obviously unable to test whether it would've popped on this same day if instead of loading the autosave from the main menu I had just driven there like every previous day. And I'm also unable to test if it would've also popped had I loaded the autosave for any day other than Sept. 11. So, ymmv. Hope this helps someone!

This is true. Luckily, there was an autosave made for me that I could revisit on the first day without replaying the intro.

Visited the church everyday so far and nothing popped.

Since you can skip the intro this is actually not too bad to get on a new game once it is fixed..

I switched to my second account, unlocked it there, switched back, deleted all saves and unlocked it right away in a new game on the first day. The intro can be skipped btw

Worked for me on day 5 with no issues, however I read on another forum it can be buggy and a work around is to do it on day 6 and drive right up to the church so the van touches the steps.

Worked on day one. After delivering the package to the diner I stopped by the church. Like another post said, literally just drive the van up to the church steps and wait a few seconds.

Drove up and she said the line. Didn't work for me. I'll have to retry and just do it on day 1 since that seems to be the sweet spot for it

Drove up the hill on Day 2 (the first time you get control of the van), she said the line, achievement didn't pop. I drove there the next couple of days, still no achievement. Finished the game, uninstalled and deleted saves, started the game again, skipped the tutorial, drove straight up to the doors of the church, she said the line, achievement popped. :)

Got there in day 2, first-day with the van. Just as Mer spoke, I clicked A I guess and... it glitched! Possibly will give another try on another run.

I found the church first time on Day 10, got the line and nothing, tried again Day 11, nothing again, then tried reloading previous saves I made on Day 3, 4 and more, nothing nothing nothing, however on Day 9, I slammed the van into the church and the achievement popped... not suggesting this as a solution, I think it's just a bit buggy. x3

I was able to unlock it on my second day. I just drove right up to it, she said the line "i remember this place". I got out of the mail truck. It instantly popped as soon as i started walking towards the church. Not sure if getting out had anything to do with it or not.

For me, this wouldn't unlock until I went back to the church during Meredith's third or fourth day on the job.

This also worked for me on day 2. I had to reload my game once I made it to the church.

This popped on September 12th (in game) for me. Make sure you drive your truck right up to the front of the church. Meredith will say "I remember this place" and the achievement should pop.

So, after driving to that church about 5 different times on 5 different days, without it popping, I just reloaded a save on 9/11 today, and while the game was loading, the achievement finally unlocked. The latest update must have fixed it.
Now, time to delete this game and lock it away forever, like the Ark of the Covenant in ROTLA. Peace.

As you leave the postal service make 2 rights and you will find yourself on a dirt road. At the end of it you will find a church and the achievement will pop.

The first chance you have to get this achievement is on your first day of work.
Just drive to the end of the small street on the left side of town. (red circle on the picture).
The church icon will only be visible on the map once you have been there.

MISSABLE

You can earn this at any time before you finish the workday on September 13. While driving the mail truck, you need to make your way to the Church:
 
 
Just drive up to the front of the Church and you "reminisce" about the building. When you do, the trophy will unlock.

*MISSABLE*

This can be unlocked as early as your first solo working day, September 2.

The church is close to the post office. Open your map with rb.png and place a waypoint with button-x.png at the location in the image below. Get in your truck and drive the short distance. When you approach, Meredith will say, “Oh, I remember this place” and the achievement will unlock while you are still in your truck.
