Neva, developed by the creators of GRIS, is an engaging platformer that allows players to explore a peculiar, desolate world accompanied by a wolf companion. Available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, this guide is designed to help players achieve 100% completion by collecting all achievements and collectibles.
Neva Walkthrough Chapter 1: Summer
To fully complete Neva, you must obtain all 18 achievements. This includes finishing the game while collecting every collectible item along the way.
Following the initial cutscene, you will encounter more of the monstrous creatures that threaten the world. This chapter teaches you essential skills, such as jumping, dodging, attacking, and petting Neva.
Achievement – Loving
To earn the Loving achievement, ensure you pet Neva twenty times throughout your gameplay.
Achievement – Provide
The criteria for this achievement may seem confusing; it refers to “feeding”Neva during Spring Part 1. Look for five specific spots where Neva will eat flowers, usually found beneath trees adorned with purple or orange leaves.
- Initially, go left from the starting area, and at the end, you will discover an orange tree where Neva will eat.
- The second tree can be found beneath the jumping platform, colored purple.
- In the following segment, Neva will be positioned under a platform, unable to ascend by herself. You need to call her to jump over to the adjacent purple tree.
- The fourth tree is adjacent to the third; lead Neva up there so she can have something to eat.
- Lastly, after overcoming a sequence involving long hands, you will find another orange tree.
Summer Collectible Flower 1 of 5
The first collectible flower can be found beneath the horizontal tree you traverse before falling into the water. If you see a giant crane, you have gone too far; retrace your steps beneath the tree to retrieve the flower.

After clearing the corrupted tree section, you will find another corrupted tree to cut through. After hopping over the platforms, use the tree you just cut to reach higher levels, where the next collectible flower is located.

Summer Collectible Flower 5 of 5
This flower is along the designated path to proceed in the game. To collect it, roll off the platform to the left, dodge through the thorns in mid-air, and utilize your double jump to reach the platform where the flower is located.
Achievement – Wily
While battling the smaller monsters as the larger monster attacks with black hands, you can catch the large monster’s allies in its own attacks, granting you an achievement.

First boss in Neva: The Summer Giant
The initial boss you will encounter in Neva is a giant creature that has been pursuing you and Neva throughout Summer. This boss has multiple attack patterns, yet it is not overly challenging. The first attack consists of a sudden slam; dodging through this is an option. The second involves an AOE attack, initiated with a scream—best to avoid this by running away. The final attack is reminiscent; it releases a swarm of hands that venture across the bottom of the screen. Use a double jump and dodge in mid-air to mitigate damage.
The success in defeating the Summer Giant rewards you with two significant achievements:
Achievement – Germination: Completed Summer Part 1
Achievement – Sprouting: Completed Summer Part 2

- Bite: The boss will target you, delivering a bite attack from the left and then the right. Simply dodge sideways to avoid.
