How to unlock the Hey! Listen! achievement in Terraria - Definitive Guide

This guide is for Journey Mode and not Seed related.
  1. Spawn in a World
  2. Go to Journey settings (set Godmode = On / set Spawn-Rate = x10,00 / Time freeze = On / change time to Midnight)
  3. Mine your way down until you find a chest, Crystal heart, life fruit, or an Ore deposit and wait there without destroying/mining/opening/looting anything
  4. A Fairy should spawn shortly after and fly towards you.

I know nothing of Journey mode simply performed the following and presto fairies.

Load up a new world set evil to corruption then hang out until night fall then run around looking for a Fairy or fairies that spawned. Once you encounter one the achievement will pop.

Video footage shows the new world creation, then me killing time by fighting King Slime and Skeletron then as night progresses, I come across a pair of fairies and the achievement pops.

What worked for me was to make a Journey character, and played on a Small Journey world with the Seed: 703284853 and Evil: Corruption. With Journey mode, you have access to enemy spawn frequencies, you can change the time, and many other features which are not important to the achievement itself.
*Please note that eventually this seed will no longer generate this same map, so once it does, please mention so and I can find a new working seed for the method*

Now when you spawn in, walk over to the right side. Eventually you will come across a fallen log sandwiched in between a set of sunflowers on top of a cliff. Once you see it, turn time to Midnight and Spawn Frequency to 0, and then walk back and forth until you get lucky to see a fairy. They are big and very bright at midnight, very noticeable. If it becomes morning, go back to the Journey menu, change the time of day back to Midnight, and search once again.

TL;DR:
1. Journey mode [character and map], World Size: Small, Seed: 703284853, Evil: Corruption
2. Spawn in, walk to the fallen log in-between sunflowers on a cliff.
3. Set time to Midnight and Spawn Frequency to 0.
4. Keep walking back and forth, with the log on and off the screen until you find a fairy.

Oh snap, my apologies. Thanks for the update Guppy God! I remember trying this for 20 or so minutes so I kept changing the options, so I think I accidentally assumed it worked with Time Pause. Thanks greatly for the info!

Definitely the top solution, you don't even have to walk around, I idled for a few minutes and when I went to check I saw fairies.

Your setup was great, but until I had a full moon I saw no fairies for a while. I used the skip to time to go from dawn to midnight until it was a full moon went back and forth a few times with the log off screen and they were there. Thanks

What Guppy God said. Turned off frozen time and set time speed to max and it spawned instantly.

man this achievement blows. I've sat by multiple chests, life hearts, and pretty big ore deposits, moving every ten minutes, for about 3 hours, and I've gotten nothing.

If you have any reason to downvote, I would appreciate a comment so I can improve the guide, to make it more useful.

On the Terraria wiki, it says fairies don't spawn from fallen logs if you have time frozen in Journey mode. I could not get a fairy to spawn with time frozen and spent a good few minutes trying. After I disabled time freeze and set time speed to max it pretty much spawned instantly. Full Moons / New Moons also have a higher chance of spawning fairies. Seed works great, but freezing time didn't work. Hopefully that helps :)

Fairies can appear on surface or underground. Best method is to set spawn rate maximum and time at midnight on journey mode. Evil must be set on corruption, they tend to appear underground while digging to guide you near by a chest. They are not hostile and you cannot attack them, however you may catch a fairy If you like. For this achievement it is enough to just be near by a fairy.

Here's the seed I've used for my world : 1.4.1.703284853

Basically walked towards right side of the map and dug. Good luck!

Interesting, for me and a friend of mine unlocked the achievement right after 5-10 seconds. Might be a little bit glitchy, entire DLC achievements took longer than usual to unlock. If you find one again, stay around a bit.

I followed it to the chest both times and it eventually disappeared. I did have God Mode on but the in-game achievement unlocked so that can’t be the issue. I’ll find a third and just wait a bit, if not I might have to delete save if the in-game trackers need to be reset to unlock it.

Yeah, that’s the problem. Found a third and just sat there, nothing happened. I think achievements have a chance not to unlock. Have to delete save from cloud and redo them.

Wow, just got someone to drop the Terraspark boots for me. Same deal, maybe xbl is having issues?

I'm stuck on this one as well. In game achievement popped but no Xbox achievement, even after waiting awhile. Also tried signing out for awhile and loading the game back up
Edit: I jumped on an alternate Xbox and cancelled the syncing from the cloud. Then I just hopped into one of my worlds and my son (who stole my controller) eventually found a fairy by a log and the achievement popped

It just unlocked for me while playing another game. Boots achievement didn’t though. Need to find someone else to borrow me them now. Great.

Xbox live was having issues popping achievements yesterday and today with everything affected except Xbox 360. This is fixed as of 11:23 pm UTC today. Hence why AP'S unlocked in another game.
