Achievement Hunting

Complete Any Missed Side Quests
In Ori and the Will of the Wisps you probably noticed a number of NPCs you can speak to learn more about the world and get side quests.

Complete Combat Shrines and Races
As you explored the areas in Ori and the Will of the Wisps you will ahve come across a number of different shrines.
