Spiritfarer is a unique game. Replacing Charon with an excitable young woman and her cat is a wonderful concept, one that the game uses as a starting point for heart-meltingly wholesome interactions as the characters' relationship with the protagonist deepen and enrich the gameplay.

As Spiritfarer features countless useful items, it can be difficult to keep track of their uses in crafting and upgrading. This guide will help players see the exact cost of Atul's workshop and its three improvements that, when they've all been crafted, will unlock the 'Fully Improved: Atul' trophy / achievement.

Atul is one of the first characters encountered in Spiritfarer. The frog brings a can-do attitude alongside a large appetite, and as the undoubtedly fun uncle of protagonist Stella, it's easy to see why he became a fan favorite. A few hours into the game, Atul will ask the player to build him a workshop. This will increase his happiness, and requires the following crafting materials:

Whether it's to complete the 'Spice Up Your Life' quest or just to do something nice for a froggy uncle, players will want to improve Atul's Workshop. Some required resources are only obtainable after advancing some quests and improving crafting stations, so if players have no idea how to get some of the resources they need, it's worth pursuing some quests in the meantime.

Some crafting stations are required to generate the resources that the workshop's improvements use. They are as follows:
