|---|---|---|
| First Drop | Drain your first bucket. | Completing the tutorial will net you this badge. |
| Plunge | Swim in the lake for the first time. | Jump in the lake. |

| Lucky Find | Locate and open 10 chests. | Look everywhere on the map rather than just going straight down, as they are scattered everywhere. |
| Sunken Secrets | Reach the Shipwreck checkpoint. | Keep draining the lake and heading downwards, and this Badge will be yours. |
| Bucket Brigade | Drain a total of 100 buckets. | This one can be done across multiple playthroughs, so just take your time. |
