How to unlock the Our Friend and Protector achievement in The Wandering Village - Definitive Guide

At about day 100 you will encounter a dead Onbu & be awarded a statue to build in your village. the statue you are awarded depends on how you played the first 100 days. After you've been given the statue you can revert to your normal playstyle. The achievement wont unlock until the Monument is actually built.

On Xbox the achievements are currently miss triggered... the Survival Monument gives village achievement (The light of human Intellect), the Village Monument gives Onbu achievement (Our Friend and Protector), & the Onbu Monument gives survival achievement.(Monumental)
The achievement mis link appears to have been fixed with the Onbu Birthday update released on 8/30/2023 patch notes for that update can be seen here...

This is what I believe the conditions are for each...

The Survival Monument
You should get by default. I've been super nice to the Onbu & abused it the entire playthrough & gotten this achievement. If this was not your first Monument count yourself as lucky & avoid the conditions below on your next playthrough.

The Onbu Monument
  • Never pull out a spike.
  • Keep his health above 90%
  • Keep his infection at or near 0
  • Keep his hunger below 25%
  • Your Production need to be below 100% on day 100 (Thanks ThePaleHorseman & Epsilon Theta)
So you'll want to start making Mushrooms & Healshrooms & Herbs as soon as possible for food & medicine. along with the Onbu equipment, Hornblower, Kitchen, Pharmacy, & Feeding Trebuchet. I also researched the Pet Onbu ability, but I don't believe its required as the constant attention for feedings & cleansings seemed to be enough to max out his trust.
We tried to avoid as much poison as possible, running through it when we couldn't avoid it. We also tried to avoid deserts, running to avoid his feet taking heat damage in long stretches.
We also did not build any of the machines that drilled into Onbu, so no Blood Extractor, Bile Extractor, or Deep Quarry.
As a side note, we never had a building damaged on this run. Ive seen comments saying it's a requirement, but it's not.


The Village Monument
  • I believe you are required to build and use the Bile Extractor and the Blood Extractor.
  • I believe you are required to remove most of the spikes.
  • I believe Onbu can Not wag his tail before day 100
  • I don't believe you can let any buildings get damaged. (maybe 1 or 2 but we had None damaged)
  • I believe you have to have a productivity above 120%
You're going to need lots of Herbs, Mushrooms, & Healshrooms to feed & cure Onbu.
We developed a pattern of pulling out spikes, then feeding & curing Onbu to avoid him getting too angry & shaking the village. Turning on the Blood and Bile Extractors can assure that he needs a health potion most of the time, just be sure to keep an eye on them, you don't want him dying. (The blood can also be used in the kitchen to make Black Pudding, we did this as well but I don't think its required.)
We also made sure to avoid any storms that could destroy a building, having to revert to a previous save once to avoid one.
Onbus head seems to get lower & lower to the ground as it becomes less happy.
I had to replay the last 20 days of this one pulling out all but 5 of the spikes & increasing the decorations around the houses & adding more variety of foods, adding tomato & corn, but it could have been that my productivity was just below 100% as I never checked it until it was over.


General Tips
Bread & Berries feed the masses! really that's all you need, maybe throw in some Mushroom Stew or Beet Soup in a second kitchen, but that should be more than enough for these achievements.
Youre villagers don't need houses or decorations unless you're going for the Villager Monument. You can easily survive 100 days without these by having a few doctors with the Ambulance upgrade & a Decontaminator with some Biogas from the Compost Heap.
Berry Gatherers share bushes. If you have a big group of berry bushes have several gathering huts share them.
After you're awarded the monument all rules fly out the window, you can do anything you want to build it, but the achievement won't pop until it's actually built.

This game is in early access so things WILL be changing over time, the achievement guides for these 3 was a mess so this was my attempt to make it as easy & combined as possible given the current glitches.
I'm open to changing or adding to any part of this that is found to be inaccurate (or becomes inaccurate in the future) just send me a message on TA or Xbox ;-)

ThePaleHorseman adds....
You're missing one very important detail for the Onbu monument. Your production has to be at 100% or LESS. I spoiled the hell out of him the entire playthrough and still only got the survival monument. I did some searching and found out about the productivity part, loaded a save just before getting to the monument, deleted all of my houses and decorations which dropped my productivity to like 75% or so and it gave me the Onbu monument. This leads me to believe that you don't have to keep to the strict guidelines during the entire playthrough, just have the right requirements at the trigger where you gain your monument blueprint.

So my theory is it is based on your productivity and his trust in you when you reach that point.

I... I didn't think of lowering my production. If this works, you deserve a coffee...

You were right. For the Onbu Monument, you can't have a high productivity. My productivity was 80%. I also think the monument you get is unlocked once the mysterious structure for day 100 is placed on the map. So you might want to reload a few days before that.

Managed to get this one without even trying while going for the no farms and no air wells achievement. I let him get to the point of starving at one stage, but he seemed very happy with me by the end, wagging his tail a lot. So I'm guessing it has more to do with his overall happiness or something.

just completed Onbu Monument achievement with 150% productivity, so it was fixed or never needed to be lower 100 in a first place )
Onbus HP was never lower 95%, top hunger was <= 25%, Poison was <= 7%, no spikes removed, no extractors
p.s. well ... in steam version that is...

Loading a previous auto save from before day 100 and deleting houses & decor to drop villager happiness and productivity should do the trick. There are no hard & fast requirements it seems.
