Short answer
The two tutorial achievements are Welcome to New Rush City for the Basic tutorial and Ready for Action for all Advanced Tutorials. The same official list also gives I'am Still Breathing the condition “Stay close to the fire and barely escape alive.” A finished advanced lesson, a skip, or a practice run is not automatically proof that the relevant achievement was recorded.
Ready for Action still locked? Check the Items tab
Open Practice → Advanced Tutorial, then select Items beside Mechanics. A September 26 Steam reply identifies six item lessons that players can miss when checking only the mechanics lessons. This is a community-reported menu path, not our gameplay test. Read the original instructions.
Before you start: this checklist follows a PC Steam player report dated September 26, not a verified console walkthrough. Keep your current save and check which Advanced lessons are already complete. The source does not identify an exact build.
1. Open the Items category
Open Practice → Advanced Tutorial. Look beside Mechanics at the top and select Items.
Matching screenshot unavailable. Needed: SR2 Advanced Tutorial with the Mechanics and Items tabs visible. No reusable current-build capture has been verified. These instructions are source-based, not our gameplay test.
Pr. Sunflower’s menu instructions. Source checked October 4, 2026.
- Look for this
- A separate Items category; finishing Mechanics does not establish that Items is complete.
- Success check
- You can see the item lessons. The source reports six; compare your installed version if the list differs.
- If it does not match
- If Items is missing, record the screen and build rather than replaying Mechanics indefinitely. The source does not establish an alternate console path.
2. Finish missing lessons, then check the achievement
Complete each unfinished Items lesson and any unfinished Mechanics lesson. Return to the lesson lists, then check Ready for Action in Steam.
Matching screenshot unavailable. Needed: completed lists in both categories plus the Ready for Action unlock, from the same run. No reusable current-build capture has been verified. These instructions are source-based, not our gameplay test.
- Look for this
- Each lesson's completion state and the named achievement—not merely the last lesson you opened.
- Success check
- Ready for Action is unlocked in your Steam achievement list.
- If it does not match
- If both categories are complete but it is locked, capture both lists, the locked achievement, platform and build for a support report. Do not reset your save. This is not a guaranteed Platinum Runners fix.
For Platinum Runners, first identify which other achievement is still locked. This Items check can uncover a missing tutorial requirement; it is not a verified fix when every other achievement is already unlocked. Compare the full checklist.
The two tutorial unlocks
| Achievement | Steam requirement, paraphrased | What not to assume |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome to New Rush City | Finish the Basic tutorial. | Opening the tutorial or doing a practice race is not the listed condition. |
| Ready for Action | Finish every Advanced Tutorial. | One completed lesson, or reaching the end after a skip, does not prove every lesson is complete. |
These names and requirements come from the game's Steam achievements page. Global percentages change as the audience changes; they are not needed to follow these unlock conditions.
How many SpeedRunners 2 achievements are there?
The full-release Steam listing includes 32 achievements. This page focuses on the tutorial achievements and I'am Still Breathing because those are the questions covered by the verified sources; it is not claiming a complete 32-item walkthrough.
Achievement percentages are player-progress snapshots, not search demand. They change as the release audience grows, so use the official requirement rather than an old percentage to plan a run.
I'am Still Breathing achievement
The official Steam list describes I'am Still Breathing as “Stay close to the fire and barely escape alive.” It does not publish an exact time or distance threshold. See the official condition.
Reported local-play method: on September 28, ToxicClockwork says they used a keyboard and controller in local play, waited for the countdown, stayed close to the fire, then ran until the other player was knocked out. The report does not specify a map, exact timing or distance, so it is an attempt to compare—not a guaranteed unlock route. Player account.
Do not use commentary as the success signal. Another player reports hearing a survival line but receiving no achievement; follow-ups on September 26 still report unsuccessful attempts. Check the actual Steam unlock after the result, and keep a clip if it fails. Unsuccessful attempts.
- Match the achievement you are attempting.The official condition does not specify an exact distance, timer or mode. Check that a tutorial-completion problem is not being confused with this fire-escape objective.
- Practice one escape while keeping variables stable.Use the mode and setup available in your current build, repeat the same approach, and focus on staying close until the escape is visibly safe. This is practice advice, not a reproduced trigger.
- Check Steam after the result.If the achievement stays locked, record the mode, platform, build and result before repeating or changing saves. That makes a later bug report useful.
This is separate from Ready for Action: the latter is the all-Advanced-Tutorials requirement. Do not use a tutorial skip or a Reverse Grapple workaround as evidence for I'am Still Breathing.
Finished a tutorial but no achievement?
- Check which tutorial you finished.Separate the Basic tutorial from individual Advanced lessons. Start by matching your activity to the relevant achievement requirement.
- Check for incomplete or skipped lessons.If the tutorial screen shows completion indicators, review each Advanced lesson. Return to any incomplete lesson instead of repeating one you already completed.
- Confirm the final completion result.Wait for the lesson's normal result screen and check Steam's achievement list. A failed attempt followed by a menu exit is not the same as a recorded completion.
- Document a mismatch before resetting anything.If every required lesson appears complete but Steam remains locked, save screenshots of both states and your game version. Do not erase SaveData as a first troubleshooting step.
All Advanced Tutorials finished but no crown?
A September 4 Steam bug report says a player completed every Advanced Tutorial but did not receive the expected result, and another player reports the same symptom. This is a community report, not confirmation that the official requirement changed or that every player is affected. Read the report.
- Capture the completion state.Save a screenshot or video showing each Advanced Tutorial marked complete and the locked Ready for Action achievement.
- Check the release build and account.Record the game version, platform and Steam account before repeating lessons. Do not compare an old demo or a different profile.
- Report the mismatch before resetting saves.Use the Ctrl+L diagnostic procedure on PC and include the exact lesson list, result screen and achievement state. Do not erase SaveData as a workaround.
If Reverse Grapple is the blocker
The current SR2 discussion contains reports of difficulty with Reverse Grapple, plus a report of proceeding after skips. It does not confirm an achievement workaround. Our Reverse Grapple page separates the current reports from older SR1 input advice.
Before repeating it, check for the numpad training-menu conflict. An action that opens a menu can look like failed timing. Fixing an input collision is a different problem from finding the move's timing window.
Tutorial achievements are not map secrets
A video about hidden map achievements does not necessarily explain a tutorial unlock. Use the achievement's name and requirement to choose the right walkthrough. This page covers the two tutorial requirements, not a complete all-achievements or hidden-collectible route.
If there is a reproducible completion mismatch on PC, the developer's Ctrl+L diagnostic procedure also applies to general bug reports. Include the lesson, displayed completion state, locked achievement and exact actions.
Quick questions
Is the achievement called Basic Tutorial?
No. The Basic tutorial achievement is Welcome to New Rush City. Ready for Action is the one associated with all Advanced Tutorials.
Do I need all advanced lessons or only one?
Steam specifies all Advanced Tutorials. The guide does not claim that a skip or one successful lesson satisfies that condition.
Should I reset my progress if an achievement stays locked?
Not as the first step. Check the requirement and completion indicators, preserve screenshots and report a reproducible mismatch before making destructive changes.
Why is there no crown after finishing every Advanced Tutorial?
A September 4 Steam bug report and one reply describe that symptom, but there is no verified developer fix or confirmed change to the Ready for Action requirement. Preserve evidence and report the mismatch before resetting saves.
How do I unlock I'am Still Breathing?
Steam's official condition is “Stay close to the fire and barely escape alive.” No official exact distance, timer, mode or tested input sequence was verified here, so use the condition as the answer and record your build if it does not trigger.
How many achievements are in SpeedRunners 2?
The full-release Steam listing includes 32 achievements. This page verifies the tutorial requirements and I'am Still Breathing condition, not a complete walkthrough for all 32.
