Unlockable characters

These entries follow the downloaded character guide: each has a concrete target, location, or community-discovered trigger.

Medium

Toad

Hit three hidden targets near the Toad Statue south of the Lodge.

  1. Head south from the main Lodge entrance toward the south chairlift station area.
  2. Find the small glasses-wearing Toad Statue.
  3. Hit three nearby targets: right low, left low, and behind the statue.
  4. Use snowballs and finish before the targets reset.
  • Bring a friend to mark target positions; the rear target needs an upward angle.
Hard

Fox

Hit three hidden targets near the Fox Statue, including the difficult Lodge chimney target.

  1. Find the Fox Statue inside the Lodge and read the nearby paintings for target clues.
  2. Hit the target on top of the east abandoned chairlift.
  3. Hit the target near the north chairlift top wheel mechanism.
  4. Hit the Lodge chimney target from near the roof-edge orange fence.
  • Expect many attempts on the chimney shot; the reference recommends a friend spotting the angle.
Hard

Dark Toad

A separate Toad variant using another set of three targets after regular Toad is unlocked.

  1. Unlock regular Toad first.
  2. Return to the south Lodge area and search for the second target set.
  3. Hit all three elevated targets in sequence.
  • The reference notes elevated target positions make solo attempts difficult.
Medium

Seal

A medium-difficulty unlock triggered by a specific interaction or location event that the community was still mapping at Early Access launch.

  1. Explore mid-mountain areas thoroughly.
  2. Check Discord or community notes for the latest confirmed position.

The downloaded source explicitly marks the exact Seal location as community-mapped rather than fully settled.

Characters

Secret characters

These are listed separately as secret character paths on the reference page.

Secret

Tent Character

Find and collect the tent item in the mountain summit area.

  1. Ride the chairlift to the summit.
  2. Explore the summit plateau for camping tents.
  3. Interact with summit tents until the Tent item is collected.
  • The summit also contains fishing spots and other hidden items, so search broadly.
Secret

Fishing Secret Character

A hidden character unlock can reportedly be caught like a fish at the summit fishing point.

  1. Buy the 10,000 coin Fishing Rod from the Lodge shop.
  2. Travel to the highest fishing point near the summit.
  3. Cast repeatedly; the trigger is described as RNG-based.
  • This overlaps with Great White Shark and The BIG one achievement attempts.
