Unlock the ‘Orna Mental’ Achievement: Find and Destroy All Gnomes in Atomfall!

by

In the game Atomfall, certain collectibles are linked to achievements. You can come across Lunchboxes using a Metal Detector all through the game, while Comic Books are hidden within secret stashes and out-of-the-way spots. However, Gnomes can be discovered exclusively in one specific location.

In the game titled Atomfall, there are unique items called Garden Gnomes which can only be found within Wyndham Village. Gather a sufficient number of these gnomes, and you’ll earn the ‘Orna Mental‘ achievement. This guide will show you what to do with these gnomes and provide locations for all the hidden Garden Gnome spots in Atomfall – but please try to tune out their spooky cries!

What To Do With Gnomes In Atomfall

Destroy Garden Gnomes For An Achievement

In the game Atomfall, around a dozen Gnomes are hidden and it’s not about gathering them; instead, players need to eliminate or destroy these Gnomes. This is necessary because the ‘Orna Mental’ achievement can only be earned by annihilating at least 10 of these figurines.

In this fantasy game, you have the option to employ a melee weapon, a firearm, or a bow to eliminate Gnomes. However, for conserving ammunition, it’s wiser to opt for a melee weapon. As you vanquish a Gnome, you’ll be greeted with a comically high-pitched shriek.

Here’s your notification: The Gnome has been added to your tally for the ‘Orna Mental’ accomplishment you’re working on.

In the game Atomfall, it remains uncertain if the gnomes are actually alive. Given the game’s peculiar nature and connection to folk horror, it wouldn’t be unexpected to discover that these Wyndham Village Garden Gnomes possess life, sensation, and consciousness. Alternatively, their cries could just be figments of our imagination.

Where To Find All Gnomes In Atomfall

There are over a dozen spots in Atomfall where you’ll encounter Gnome hideouts, all nestled within Wyndham Village. You’ll find them scattered throughout the village, but to unlock the achievement, you just need to eliminate 10 of these Gnomes.

Gnome 1: Outside The Old Woman’s House

  • Coordinates: 30.4E, 79.0

Upon your initial visit to Wyndham Village, as you stroll along the primary roadway, you might chance upon an elderly woman being evicted from her home by soldiers adhering to Protocol, if timing aligns appropriately. Once the commotion subsides, retrace your steps back to the house in question. There, perched on a ledge to the right of the entrance, you’ll discover a Gnome.

Gnome 2: In Front Of Grendel’s Head Pub

  • Coordinates: 34.2E, 79.4N

One commonly encountered Garden Gnome player from Atomfall is usually found near the Grendel’s Head Pub. Check next to a wooden barrel positioned at the pub’s main entrance.

Gnome 3: Behind The Village Hall

  • Coordinates: 33.4E, 79.1N

After grabbing the Garden Gnome situated in front of the pub, move towards the rear of the pub. You’ll find the Gnome concealed slightly out of view, tucked beneath a wheelbarrow and behind a bench.

Gnome 4: Little Tea Room Windowsill

  • Coordinates: 34.6E, 80.4N

The “Atomfall” Gnome resides on a windowsill within the quaint Little Tea Room, nestled in the heart of the village. Handle with caution when retrieving this Gnome, as numerous Protocol soldiers are present at this location. Entering the deserted Little Tea Shop will provoke them to become aggressive. Fortunately, you can grab the Gnome from outside, avoiding a potentially hostile encounter indoors.

Gnome 5: In An Alley Near The Green

  • Coordinates: 33.9E, 81.1N

In the heart of town, just below a sign labeled “The Fold,” you’ll find this Gnome. He is situated to the south of the Bakery. To reach him, you can either leap over the ledge or take the path down the alleyway that runs beneath this location. Once in the alley, look for him on the left side as you make your way in.

Gnome 6: On Top Of The Church

  • Coordinates: 33.2E, 78.7N

To acquire the Garden Gnome, players should navigate to the church and ascend the stairway to its highest point, eventually reaching the rooftop. The gnome can be found perched on a ledge up there, but remember to keep watch as crows may attempt to attack if you linger for too long.

Gnome 7: Behind A Shed In The Southeast

  • Coordinates: 35.5E, 77.5N

At the southeastern part of Wyndham Village, slightly ascending a slope, there’s a hidden nook that conceals a shed. To the right side of this shed, you’ll notice a wall. Cross over it, and you’ll stumble upon our secretive Gnome who’s cleverly camouflaged out of plain view.

Gnome 8: By the Bridge In East Wyndham

  • Coordinates: 35.5E, 80.6N

Heading towards the eastern part of Wyndham, starting from the heart of the village, you’ll come across a bridge. To your left, as you cross this bridge, you’ll spot a Gnome lounging by the small stream that divides the northeastern side of Wyndham from the remainder of the village.

Gnome 9: On A Stool In East Windham

  • Coordinates: 36.8E, 79.6N

Search for the “Atomfall” Garden Gnome in the part of the village situated on the other side of the stream, behind a line of homes. Keep in mind that it’s somewhat concealed, so make sure to look behind every storage shed and within each garden located at the back of those houses.

Gnome 10: On A Bench Near Skethermoor

  • Coordinates: 36.3E, 78N

You’ll spot the Gnome near the northern edge of Skethermoor’s entrance, across a tiny stream. Keep an eye out for a bench on the opposite side of this stream which flows out from Skethermoor. The Gnome can be found perched atop this very bench.

Gnome 11: In An Alley Stairwell

  • Coordinates: 35.1E, 79.6N

Right in the heart of the village, tucked between two structures, you’ll find a tiny gnome seated by a staircase that descends. It can be quite elusive; for a clearer view, approach from the eastern end of the alley.

Gnome 12: Waiting For The Bus

  • Coordinates: 32.4E, 81.8N

In my gaming adventures, I stumbled upon a tiny Gnome hidden beneath a bench at the bus stop in Wyndham Village. This secret spot is nestled along the path leading away from the entrance of Casterfell Woods, not far from the long-abandoned Mereview Hotel.

Gnome 13: Crashing At The Hotel

  • Coordinates: 31.2E, 81.4N

Following your gnomish find in the bus stop, glance to the side of the Mereview Hotel where you’ll spot a red sofa. The Garden Gnome can be seen lounging atop this very red sofa.
