How to unlock the Sleep. Wake. Repeat. achievement in Outer Wilds - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires you to "be woken up from a dream 5 different ways in a single loop."

The 5 simulation deaths that count are:
* Burning
* Drowning
* Falling
* Woken by the bell
* Caught by Stalker guys with the lanterns


The easiest way to get these is to start a loop from the beginning, head to The Stranger, grab an artifact from the Ghost Matter infested building (River Lowlands) and head to the second simulation building Island Tower.

Once in the simulation, you can quickly die from burning (1/5) and drowning (2/5). Then if you head across the bridge and jump over the barrier, you'll fall and die from hitting the ground (3/5).

Next head across the bridge and head right, following the path outside and down the stairs until you see the glowing green glyph, hope over the barrier and you'll encounter an alarm that will wake you (4/5).

Finally, head back to the alarm, and sneak past onto the raft. Move the raft half way across the lake and look up to the right to find a quick travel thing to shine the artifact on. Take the lift up and blow out the lights in the Starlit Cove. Then use the quick travel thing to the right to get back to the outside area we went through, heading back towards the beginning. You should encounter a Stalker as you enter a building, without a light, so you may need to search for it (5/5).

You should have plenty of time to do this before the dam breaks, and destroys the tower.

This is hella late to the game but I wanted to point something out to players who wanted to do things differently. Being crushed by the elevators and having the aliens wake you when you don't have the lantern doesn't seem to register, at least on Xbox. British Legend does say "that count" in this guide and we should listen to that.

I can confirm that being crushed by an elevator does work. I did elevator as my 5th instead of finding an owl to wake me.

This is for putting your light out "dying" in 5 ways in the dream world (which wakes you up). I came up with many ways to die, but the comments have confirmed which 5 you need for the achievement.

How to start:

Enter the Stranger the normal route through the docking bay. Grab an artifact in the ghost matter house to the right just after you enter.

Go to the first tower in the first village you come to, open the secret passage by removing the lanterns on the correct mural (look for the Saturn like planet in the picture). Any time you to sleep at the campfire with an artifact in your hand you awake in the dream world.

Once you awaken in the dream world, jump into the fire (1). Go back to sleep to re-enter. Jump into the water (2). Re-enter once again. Once you leave the tower, look for some wooden stairs near where you start. Climb them, and look to the right for a hand teleporter that warps you if you focus on it with the artifact. On the next island, look straight ahead and should find another hand. From the next area you should see some strangers walking about (look for their green lanterns. Deliberately get caught by one and they'll blow out the light in the artifact, waking you up (3).

At this point I'd recommend getting a raft and floating around the river until you get to where the dam is/was. Jump down into the water where the three chains are on the right, and into the structure from underneath. Fall asleep at the fire here and there's a few more death options available to you.

Send down the lift without getting in it. Drop into the hole to fall to your death (4).

Re-enter the dream world, call the lift. Ride it down. Follow the path down to where you see the locked sarcophagus and some paths to the area to unlock it that you're meant to work out over the course of the game. You'll notice there is a walkable bridge on the right hand path. By walking down it you'll set off an alarm and this wakes you up (5).

At this point the achievement should pop for you.

The fire is actually Green.

Not that it has any relevance to the solution, but it's both (but primarily blue)

I'd call it 'celeste' like the colour of a Bianchi bicycle.

Yep, not green, not blue. It also changes according to your TV.
I have a LG CX and for me it's primarily green ;)

Can confirm the following:

3 (blow out flame) is a necessary "death". I could not get the achievement without it.
8 (alarm) is also necessary, given it gave @Bridge188 the pop-up.
5 (dam break) is NOT necessary.

Here is just a guess:

4 (neck snap) is probably not necessary, given there is already an achievement for it (Oof Ouch).
6 (crushed) is probably not necessary, given there is already an achievement for it (Flat Hearther).

I died exactly 5 times and it poppe. Wraithflight is correct. You need these 5 deaths:

1. Drown
2. Burn
3. Catched by Stalker
4. Falling
5. Waking up with a bell.

I think it's not actually drowning but just having your light go out from the water. I did all five of these, the drowning one being putting my artifact down and jumping into the water to drown. After doing all five, I didn't get the achievement until I went into water with my artifact and being woken up that way.

AndrewCoja is right. It isn't drowning; it's having your flame extinguished by the water. It is possible to drown in the dream, but that doesn't count. None of these are deaths. The achievement description says nothing about death, only about waking up, so why so make the solution about death and dying, ways to die, etc? It's irrelevant and confusing.

Most of the time it's not really dying, just putting the light out. When you walk into the water you hear a sizzle as the light goes out. Like when the owl people catch you - they don't kill you as long as you have an artifact, just blow out the flame. However, if they catch you without an artifact, or you stand in the fire, or you fall - it's definitely death!

The official wiki agrees: "If the Protagonist enters the simulation with them, they attempt to extinguish the Protagonist's artifact or kill them to get them out of the simulation" https://outerwilds.fandom.com/wiki/The_Stranger%27s_inhabita...

Time: Anytime but better to start it as soon as possible
Special note: None

Once you're able to enter the dream using the artifact, you will find that there are many ways to wake up from it. Use 5 of them to unlock this trophy:
  • Jump into water.
  • Fall.
  • Stay inside a fire.
  • Die by being crushed by a chain elevator.
  • Woke up with alarm bells.
  • Let a stalker catch you.
  • Drop your lantern and jump into the water when far from the lantern range.
  • Drop your lantern and get your back broken by a stalker when far from the lantern range

1. To burn alive, you need to stand on the fire.
2. Break.
3. Drown in water.
4. The pursuer (owl) must extinguish the artifact, you just need to hold the artifact itself in your hands.
5. The pursuer must break the hero’s neck, without holding the artifact with him.
