How to unlock the Powers that Be achievement in The Deer God - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires getting all ten powers in one play through. It's recommended that you choose 'Elder Deer' so you can continue past the ending.

The puzzles are quite difficult and I often found myself struggling with them. I have gone ahead and made a video solution and will provide it in this solution.

The ten powers are as followed:

Light - 0:00
Growth - 1:02
Teleport - 1:49
Divine - 2:27
Fireball - 3:43
Tame - 4:27
Ice - 5:10
Hailstorm - 5:51
Fire Shield - 6:45
Lightning - 7:34

If you miss the statues or run past them, do not worry you can keep running and eventually they will show up again. Some powers require you to learn some certain moves from the Elder Deer. i.e Razor Hoof and Dash.

Great solution. I've beaten the game, ran to the right of the end for about 30 days and ran all the way back to the beginning of the game and I'm still missing 3 puzzles! If I continue to grind running to the right, will they eventually spawn in?

Actually I cant run to the right anymore, after beating the eagle. The map simply ends and my deer starts "flying". Anyone else ?

Thanks BlackMage, It was driving me up the wall too. The main problem are those little blocks blocking... :) glad I could help though.

Yeah, at 85% same here - map just ends and no amount of back and forth to that point seems to matter. It's game--breaking.

The Divine Antlers part is a little misleading. You do it by getting a friendly animal to walk across the gaps where the beams of light come up, but chances are you won't have another deer following you. Instead, you're supposed to move the blocks and coax the rabbits to hop over them.

Thanks platinumpwnzor! I was stuck on that one and it was indeed not clear from the video. After reading your comment, got it within seconds.

The lightning doesn't work for me. I activate both lights and get those small boxes out of the way. I get a strong purple light on each side and no box no block them, yet the statue doesn't give me the power. ridiculous design anyway.

Please note the lightning one is bullshit. You can do it "right" but if the right side crate isn't pushed to the right and falls into the gap where the lightning destroys the rock, it won't work. If you push the small crate on the right lightning bolt to the left and out of the way of the lightning, it will not trigger.

I think if you've finished the game (and selected Elder Deer) and you still can't find anymore, they just won't appear; so start a new game. Also, if you mess one up, just go to main menu, and then continue, and it will put you back at the beginning of the puzzle. That way you don't have to run right for ages, hoping that it will appear.

After beating the eagle boss I was still missing one power and the beaver boss. Luckily if you avoid all the Deer Totems with the grass plant and a double jump + dash you can avoid stepping on the totem that ends the game (this was on my second playthrough where I was going to choose the Human ending which deletes your save). After walking around 15,000m and not finding the last power, I loaded my previous save where I was an Elder Deer and walked maybe 100m then exited to the main menu and quit my game completely. Once I reloaded the game and resumed my second playthrough, that just beat the boss and was avoiding the totems, I discovered the last power after about 2- 3 biome changes.

Side notes: I also was able to find the beaver after killing the eagle and avoiding the totems that end the game.
Also during my first playthrough I was unable to find the two powers I was missing even after walking around 25,000m as the Elder Deer. I don't think this necessarily means that you can't find powers as the Elder Deer, it just seems that they have a really low chance of spawning more than one during this stage of the game.

When you are running to quests, you will encounter deer statues with mini puzzles to solve, they aren't too taxing but once you have solved it, you will unlock the power. Just keep running, new statues will appear after you complete one.

Below is a video I made to help you solve all the puzzles in the game

Great solution, but I voted negative on this. Without any text or voice to guide, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do on some of the puzzles. If you can elaborate on those puzzles (for example, the one at 2:25... I'm not sure what power you are using, or what you are doing at all), I have no problem to change my vote.

lol... I'm not using any power. That's what happens when you're an Elder, the deer light up. The deer was just following me. It's pretty simple to follow.

I suddenly had deers starting to follow me after awhile, but I never understand why and in the video the deers light up which led me to believe you were using some kind of power up. None of this is explained in the video or the text description above the video. Without your reply in comments, I don't think anyone would have understand what was going on. I don't vote negative for no reason, I just found your solution to be missing vital information. If you amend the main solution to include that kind of information, that would be very cool.

I haven't beaten the game yet so I did not get a chance to choose Elder or Human yet, but I have this achievement... so obviously being an Elder is not a requirement. Your reply makes me believe that is a pre-requisite to getting the achievement, which it obviously isn't.

PS. Why you start your comment with an lol? Can't take actual constructive criticism on a solution? I try to explain why I voted negative and give you ideas on making your solution better, but you scoff at it. Great attitude. Enjoy being an elitist!

I've beaten the game, ran for 30 days beyond the end, ran all the way back to the very beginning and haven't found 3 of the puzzles. Will they eventually spawn in if I keep running to the right?

I'm in the exact same situation thepack1221. I've come across 1 of the 3 puzzles I was missing but I've run for almost 15,0000 metres without seeing another one. Maybe this has to be done before you beat the final boss?

How do you make the statues appear? I've been running for 3 hours straight since the last one. And what order do they appear in?

Powers are acquired from completing puzzles you encounter. They appear randomly and in different orders, so be patient and continue going right until you find them all. This will probably not be completed until after you've finished the main story. There are 10 total you need to find and complete. If you press to go to your menu you'll see antlers (tree) that shows all your powers. You need to fill all the spots. The puzzles themselves are very simple but glitchy. If one isn't working for you, go a frame or two to the left or right and then return OR quit to the XMB and continue to try it again.

The 10 powers are (timestamps for video solutions):

  • Light (0:00)
  • Growth (1:02)
  • Teleport (1:49)
  • Divine Antler (2:27)
  • Fireball (3:43)
  • Tame (4:27)
  • Ice (5:10)
  • Hail Storm (5:51)
  • Fire Shield (6:45)
  • Lightning Strike (7:34)

There are ten Deer statues with simple puzzles to solve. After solving them, approach the statue to gain a power. If you screw up a puzzle, quit to the main menu and continue to refresh the puzzle. If you happen to not have a required ability or power to solve the puzzle, just continue on. The statue will show up again down the road. If by chance you don’t have all the powers by the end of the game, make sure you choose to stay in Deer form. If you choose to become a human the game will end and your save will erase. You will wake up as a deer and be able to continue hunting for your remaining achievements.
