How to unlock the Love Turts achievement

    I tried the above solutions, but had no luck. Some people mentioned that the turtles were random, but I can't confirm that is true. All I know is that what I did worked for me the first time.

    I went into Free Roam, which can be accessed from the main menu and selecting "Special Features" > "Thorofare Free Roam". Select a save slot and proceed into free roam.

    From there, I woke up in my tower, "Two Forks", ready to rock. I followed the video below from BitBytes on YouTube, which I take no credit for and thank him for helping me get this achievement.

    If you're in Free Roam, fast forward to get the map location which is shown at 0:38 and then follow the video to unlock it. If you are playing the story, then follow the directions on Day 1, as per the video.

    Apostle92627I'm at the spot but the turtle's not there.

    EDIT: FOUND IT! It was the first location in the video posted in the comments section. The video really should be part of the solution.

    LVGrantyIf you're on Day 2 and the turtle isn't on the rock by the cache box, exit the game without saving and it'll spawn you back in either home base or in the cave then, travel back to the spot and it should be there.

    The Baird BusFor this and other buggy achievements, my found solution: upon the completion of an achievement but it doesn't pop...

    Open the Xbox app on your phone. Touch your profile in the bottom right. Then touch Achievements tab and then click on Firewatch. The achievement should unlock in about 5 seconds.

    I assume the problem is the game not talking to Xbox servers and checking the game on your app forces it to.

    I had a little trouble finding the turtle at 1st so once I finally found it I thought I would post a video to make it easier for others looking for the turtle. I made the video while playing Day 2 of the story. I was at the part where you have to make your way to the southwest towards some smoke trying to find some teenage girls. At the start of the video, I'm at cache 309. At the start of the video I show the map to show where I was starting and then again at the end to see where I found the turtle. Approach the turtle and press cn_RT. Then press and hold cn_B to adopt the turtle.

    SincereSeeker6If the turtle is not there, go right in front of turtle location. Then,

    Pause-->Save--->Load ---> Should appear

    NessNoldo@SincereSeeker6 That did not work at all. Did it multiple times and no turtle appeared.

    This can be completed as early as Day 2. When you get to the Aspen Grove at the southern side of the map, look to the north while in the grove for a set of tall pine trees with a rock in the middle. The turtle is on the rock. Walk up to it, pick it up, and hold B to adopt it.

    NaberiosActually it can be completed as early as day 1. Right after the encounter with the skinny dipping pyromaniacs, if you cross to the north & follow the lake around, there's a tree near lockbox 305. There's a turtle at the base of the tree.

    stumpy493EVen earlier than the skinny dipping. Head East from your tower and you find the route you came in on blocked, little turtle sitting right there.

    Z0xeaDay 1. I confirm what @Naberios said.
    Find the waterstream, a code locked supply box.
    The turtle is 2m away, 2 rocks farther.
