How to Fish achievement guide

Let the seagull take you.

Official condition“Get picked up by a seagull”

Die outdoors, leave the Respawn button alone, and wait beside your body. Let a seagull swoop down and carry the body away; the achievement unlocks on the pickup. Dynamite only makes dying faster—it is not required.

Reliable method

Die. Wait. Get carried away.

  1. 01 · Pick a spot

    Die somewhere open

    Use a beach, dock or other uncovered area where seagulls can reach the body. Do not die inside a shop or under a tight roof.

  2. 02 · Hands off

    Do not press Respawn

    Stay on the death screen. Respawning removes the body the seagull needs to collect and resets the attempt.

  3. 03 · Wait

    Let the seagull finish the pickup

    Do not shoot, restart or mash buttons. Wait until a seagull descends, grabs the body and begins carrying it away.

  4. 04 · Confirm

    Watch for the Steam achievement pop

    The unlock should fire when the bird takes you. If it does not, repeat in a clearer outdoor area and give the bird more time.

Protect the bird.
Different achievement

Everyone’s Dream

Kill a seagull with dynamite. A fish can help bring the bird down to a predictable spot.

Kill the bird with dynamite.

Fix the failed attempt

Why didn’t it unlock?

Match what happened, fix that one thing, and repeat.

I died but nothing happened+

Move the next attempt outside into a clear beach or dock area. Stay on the death screen and wait longer; do not press Respawn.

I killed the seagull+

That is the opposite setup. Let Me Go needs the bird to take your body. Killing a seagull with dynamite is the separate Everyone's Dream achievement.

I used dynamite and still did not unlock it+

Dynamite only creates the death state. After the blast, stop interacting and wait for the seagull pickup.

The bird flew close but the achievement did not pop+

A flyover is not enough. The seagull must actually grab and carry the body away.

Fast answers

Let Me Go FAQ

How do you unlock Let Me Go in How to Fish?+

Die outdoors, do not press Respawn, and wait until a seagull picks up and carries away your body.

Do you need dynamite for Let Me Go?+

No. Dynamite is only a quick way to die. Any death works as long as the body remains outdoors for a seagull to collect.

Should I shoot the seagull after it picks me up?+

No. Let the pickup complete. Shooting or killing the bird belongs to other combat or seagull challenges, not this achievement.

Can I get Let Me Go in co-op?+

Yes. The player earning the achievement should be the one who dies and leaves their body waiting for the seagull.

Is Let Me Go missable?+

No. You can return to an outdoor seagull area and repeat the setup after finishing the story.
