100% Completion in Ronny's Climb
Introduction
Ronny's Climb is a cute and charming 2D platformer developed by Zephyrix, an indie developer from Germany! You play as Ronny, a deer competing with other furry friends to see who can climb their local mountain the highest. This guide will walk you through EVERYTHING so you can achieve 100% completion!
To achieve 100% completion on your save file in Ronny's Climb, you must:
- Clear all 6 stages
- Collect all 100 gems in each stage (except for Finale)
- Beat the par completion time for each stage
- Earn both badges from each stage
In addition to those requirements, there are also two bonus stages that you can unlock with secret codes! They don't contribute to your overall completion percentage on the stage selection screen, but they do have their own gems and badges, so I'll cover them as well.

Pacifist Badge
The Pacifist Badge is earned by clearing Emerald Vale without defeating any enemies. Most of the enemies can easily be dodged by being patient and timing your jumps. However, this red slime on the moving platform was pretty annoying; there's barely any space on the platform for you to go without either stomping on the slime or being damaged by it yourself.
My strategy was to wait for the platform to start going back up after reaching the bottom of its track. Then, I jumped on the rightmost edge and quickly jumped from edge to edge while the platform went back up, before finally jumping onto the sideways moving platform.

Nyctophile Badge
The Nyctophile Badge is earned by passing the first dark section in Fungus Grotto without using a light sprite. This badge is very straightforward, just jump over/under any light sprites you encounter so you don't accidentally activate them! You automatically get the badge after passing the dark section, so no need to even beat the entire level!
A Perfect Run Badge
The Perfect Run Badge is earned by clearing Fungus Grotto without taking any damage. This would be a pretty straightforward badge if it weren't for the bats. My strategy for dealing with them is to play it safe and immediately run in the opposite direction once one's been activated. After a few seconds of waiting, it'll have flied off screen and you can continue making your way through the stage.

Buzz Off Badge
The Buzz Off Badge is earned by killing 5 dragonflies in under 3 seconds. Though this task may seem daunting at first, it's actually not that bad! My strategy was to progress through the entire stage normally, albeit without killing any dragonflies, until I passed the third checkpoint and emerged from the castle. There are two dragonflies that spawn right there outside of the castle near the wind draft and four dragonflies that spawn earlier on in the stage, for a total of six!
Since dragonflies never stop chasing you once you've entered their radius, just be patient and wait for the four from earlier to catch up with the two outside of the castle, and stop 'em all in rapid succession!
Lunar Bond Badge
The Lunar Bond Badge is earned by finding the moon stone hidden in Treetop Trails and placing it in its socket.
To find the moon stone, progress through the stage normally, passing the first and second checkpoints. Once you reach the third checkpoint in the castle, climb up the ladder and head onto the floor with the skewers. Continue left and dash over the gap to reach an area with 5 gems. Collect them and then walk left, passing through a fake wall. There you will find the moon stone!
After collecting the moon stone, jump down all the way back to the start of the stage. From there, head right, ignoring the trees and the wind draft. Eventually you will reach a small dirt slope with a fake wall to the right. Then, simply walk through the fake wall and place the moon stone in the socket!
Crystal Caverns
Crystal Caverns is the fourth stage in Ronny's Climb! It's another cave stage, this time with a beautiful purply crystal setting! But, beware of the bats, stalactites, and darkness that lurk around every corner...
It is very easy to get lost in the many branching paths and fake walls of this stage, but not to fear! This guide is here to help.

Treasure Hoarder Badge
The Treasure Hoarder Badge is earned by carrying all four rubies at the same time in Crystal Caverns. This means you cannot put any rubies in their slots by the gate until you've collected all four of them. To be honest, this is probably the easiest badge in game, as I accidentally earned it on my first playthrough without even trying! Just be sure to go around the gate when moving from section to section so you don't inadvertently trigger the rubies to go to their slots.
If you need help finding the locations of each ruby, refer to my gem guide above, which also doubles as a ruby guide!
Grounded Badge
The Grounded Badge is earned by beating Crystal Caverns without using any jump mushrooms. Although most can be avoided with a careful jump, there are three that can be especially tricky. Also note that you won't be able to collect all of the gems when attempting this badge, as some of the optional paths require the use of jump mushrooms.
The first jump mushroom that can be confusing is the one right after you collect the dark section's gem. Normally, you'd use this jump mushroom to exit the section and return to the main area with the gate. However, since jump mushrooms are a no-no for this badge, and since there's no way to avoid this particular one, you'll actually have to climb back down the ladder and do a bit of backtracking through the dark section to safely return to the main area. The same logic applies for another mushroom later in the level beside one of the levers.
Another confusing jump mushroom is this one midway through the second section of the caverns, after you've made it past the locked gate. At first glance, it appears that there is no other way to get up on the semisolid platform without jumping on the mushroom. However, there is an alternate path! Refer to gems 79-81 and 82-87 in my gem guide above for the exact steps, but in short, there's a fake wall to the right of the hanging ladder that bypasses the jump mushroom entirely.
The final and most confusing jump mushroom to avoid in Crystal Caverns is the one at the very end. Once again, it appears that the only way to get up to the semisolid platforms is with the mushroom! However, like before, there exists an alternate path! Simply head to the right, where there's a fake wall, and jump up the hidden platforms. From there, you can climb the hanging ladder to safety and beat the level!
The Summit
The Summit is the fifth stage of Ronny's Climb! It features a barren, rocky landscape with a few trees and shrubbery. It is a very dangerous level, with enemies, spikes, and pits everywhere!

Winner Badge
The Winner Badge is earned by winning the race against the badger to the first checkpoint in The Summit. To start the race, make your way through the first bits of the stage until you encounter the badger. Talk to him, and he'll bring up the idea of a race. After you finish your conversation, he'll be off!
The badger can cheat by high jumping across much of the stage's obstacles, but don't worry, you can cheat too by making good use of your dash ability! Once you've made it to the first checkpoint, the badger will arrive soon after, panting and out of breath. Congratulations! You've won the race.
Concealed in Stone Badge
The Concealed in Stone badge is earned by collecting the hidden golden gem in The Summit! To find the golden gem, simply make your way to the first checkpoint of the stage. Then, instead of going up and to the right, go down and to the right, onto some tree branches.
Then, jump off the lower of the two branches into a fake wall to the right! The wall will disappear, revealing the hidden golden gem in all of its shiny, golden goodness. Simply collect it to earn the badge!
Finale
Finale is the sixth and final non-bonus stage of Ronny's Climb! It takes place in the same environment as The Summit, and features a chase section with the evil warthog boss, followed by an actual battling section, named "The Final Confrontation." There are no gems to collect in this stage, just two very difficult badges!
Self-Sufficient Badge
The Self-Sufficient Badge is earned by leaving the dark cave in Finale without using the lever or the stone to help you get your way around. This is probably the hardest badge in the entire the game!
In the cave, the lever is used to fix a broken moving platform. From there, you'd normally ride the moving platform up and push down the stone, and then jump off of it to get on top of the left semisolid platform and continue onward. However, since both the lever and the stone are a no-no for this badge, you'll have to preform some well-timed jumps.
First, stand on the semisolid platform that's beneath the broken moving platform. Wait for a bat to spawn that's 1 or 2 blocks above you and jump onto it. Then, jump off of the bat to reach the broken moving platform without ever needing to fix it!
Then, you'll need to do the same trick once more. Jump onto and then off of a bat flying below the left semisolid platform to get the height that you would've otherwise needed the stone to get!
A Flawless Victory Badge
The Flawless Victory Badge is earned by defeating the evil warthog boss in Finale without taking any damage.
This is one is a toughie. my best strategy is to hang out in the corner below the warthog's wall, only moving if boulders are about to fall there. The reason why that corner is so important is because the boulder that the warthog occasionally throws can't actually hit you from there, it just breaks upon contact with the upper edge! From there, just stay focused and time your jumps with the bats and the warthog will go down in no time! If you do end up getting hit, just intentionally die so you can retry the fight from the checkpoint. Good luck!
Balloon Bonanza
Balloon Bonanza is the first bonus stage in Ronny's Climb! It is a vertically-based level that forces Ronny to float to the top with balloons, all the while dodging spikes, bats, dragons, and more!
Unlocking
Balloon Bonanza is unlocked by inputting a secret code on the main menu! The code is found in The Summit. Progress all the way through the level until you reach the final section with the moving platforms and spikes just before the end.
If you're eagle-eyed, you'll notice that there's a single ground tile on the far right without any spikes on it! Simply jump from the tallest platform and dash over to reach it. From there, you'll fall through some fake ground down to a hidden area with a sign that contains the code.
Gaming nerds will recognize this sequence of inputs as the Konami Code, a famous cheat code first popularized by Konami in many of their releases, starting with Gradius for the NES in 1985!

Threading the Needle Badge
The Threading the Needle badge is earned by beating Balloon Bonanza without popping more than three balloons. Since there are three separate balloon sections in the stage, which all conclude with you being forced to pop your balloon, you can not make ANY mistakes! My best advice for this badge is just to take it slow and steady.
Hidden High Above Badge
The Hidden High Above badge is earned by finding the secret golden balloon in Balloon Bonanza! The golden balloon is found at the end of the second of the three balloon sections. Float all the way up to where you would normally pop your balloon on the ceiling, but then head right immediately, towards the rightmost of the two indents in the ceiling, above where the stone spawns. You'll pass through a fake wall and enter a secret area!
Keep floating up, dodging the frog and the dragon you find there, to collect the golden balloon! Then, simply hop back down to the semisolid platform, head back down from there, and beat the level like normal!
Retro Ridgeclimb
Retro Ridgeclimb is the second bonus stage in Ronny's Climb, added as part of the 1.1 update. The entire stage is black and white, meant to mimic the style of old Gameboy games!
Unlocking
Like with Balloon Bonanza, you need to input a code on the main menu to unlock the stage. This time, the code is hidden in Treetop Trails. Progress through the stage normally until you reach the the top of the castle, right before the end. You'll see a high-up ledge that to the right of the moving platform.
It looks impossible to jump up there, but worry not! Simply jump off of the semisolid platform and dash and you'll just barely make it over, past some fake walls that make the ledge look taller than it really is. Then, climb up the ladder and read the sign at the top to get the code!

Fun With Switches Badge
The Fun With Switches Badge is earned by solving the optional switch puzzle in Retro Ridgeclimb.
To get to the puzzle, progress through the level normally, passing the squirrel as you head up the mountain. Once you get to the area with the two breakable rocks below the vertical moving platform, stop. Take a leap of faith plus a dash of faith to the bottom right, where there's a second hidden brick ledge below the upper one with the gems. Once there, walk right past a fake wall to enter a secret room of the castle that contains the puzzle!
Now, to solve the puzzle, you have to turn all five lights on by activating the right switches in the right order. The correct ones to hit are, numbered from left to right, one, three, four, then five. Once the puzzle has been solved, a portrait of Ronny will appear above the lights and the switches will sink into the ground. Oh yeah, and you'll also be awarded the badge!
Winter Is Coming Badge
The Winter Is Coming Badge is earned by finding all three of the squirrel's missing nuts in Retro Ridgeclimb.
- Nut 1
- Progress through the stage normally until you reach the fake wall left of the big tree where gems 47-50 are located. Go through the fake wall, but once you reach the leftmost edge of it, jump up, then up again, then move to the right some, and jump up twice more. You'll emerge in a secluded area under the ground where the first nut is located!
