Picinae reports beating Extinction 5 with Antlers, Revenge, 75% Dodge, Spurs with a damage-scaling Specialisation, and Burrow-related damage support. The reply is a historical personal clear, not a full acquisition sequence. It does not name the Specialisation precisely, and its enthusiastic prediction of one-shotting everything should not be read as a measured damage guarantee. Picinae and SonOfKhmer · Extinction reports
The official condition is to beat Extinction 5. Starting at Pressure 5 or completing a Pressure run is a different milestone. The Extinction guide helps distinguish the continuation stage from the initial difficulty, but the achievement’s requirement remains the named Extinction completion. Steam achievement condition
The Pressure route can supply a familiar survival framework, while Spines Reflect and Moulting offer different ways to organize combat and defence. These are planning references, not recorded Extinction 5 clears. Choose a route you can still use after the initial win rather than assuming that a Pressure achievement proves the continuation target. Steam achievement condition
The condition uses “Beat,” so an arrival label alone should not be treated as proof of completion. Use the game’s recorded result and achievement status to distinguish entering the stage from satisfying its completion target. Steam achievement condition
No. The developer reply about Ultrabonk, Bruter and Brutest applies to those damage achievements. It is not a blanket ban on Extinction achievements; Extinction 5 explicitly names an Extinction target. Steam achievement condition SecretModeLiam’s developer reply
SonOfKhmer describes a different small, speedy, spiky poison approach and recalls starting at Pressure 10 with an explicit uncertainty. The two replies provide alternatives, not proof that one exact kit or starting Pressure is mandatory. Before continuing, compare the damage and survival tools you actually have with the approach you intend to follow; do not merge unnamed details from both accounts into a supposedly documented build.

A long attempt can use the 1.2 save-and-resume feature because the announcement explicitly includes Endless. Finish an Evolution or point-of-interest selection first: Save and Quit is unavailable on those choice screens. Returning through the resume option continues the saved attempt; starting a new run overwrites that save. This is a reason to verify which menu action is being chosen before leaving a promising continuation. Official 1.2 notes
The 1.1 notes changed the Extinction end screen to show segment time rather than progress time. Read that displayed duration as the segment’s measure, not automatically the duration of the entire journey from the first Pressure start. For this achievement, the decisive distinction remains completing Extinction 5 rather than only showing its stage label; a long displayed time cannot replace that result. Official 1.1 notes Steam achievement condition
On resuming, 1.2 provides a brief countdown and brief invulnerability to help the player readjust. The notes give no duration that would justify timing an attack or a dangerous pickup around it. Reassess the nearby creatures and your current position before committing, rather than treating the resume protection as a repeatable combat strategy. Official 1.2 notes
: Added Picinae’s and SonOfKhmer’s separately attributed Extinction reports, then clarified Endless save/resume rules and segment-time reporting without treating their results as required thresholds.
