Quick Links
There are a handful of collectibles inAtomfallthat are tied to achievements. Lunchboxes can befound with the Metal Detectorthroughout the game, while Comic Books can be found in stashes and hidden in out-of-the-way areas. Gnomes, on the other hand, can only be found in one location.
InAtomfall, Garden Gnomes are collectibles that exist exclusively within Wyndham Village, and if you “collect” enough, you will get the ‘Orna Mental’ achievement. This guide explains what to do with Gnomes and where to find all Garden Gnome locations inAtomfall– justtry to ignore their screams.
What To Do With Gnomes In Atomfall
Destroy Garden Gnomes For An Achievement
There are at least a dozen Gnomes to find inAtomfall, but players don’t exactlycollectGnomes –players mustdestroyGnomes. That’s because theGnome achievement ‘Orna Mental’ requires you to obliterate at least 10of these figurines.
you’re able to use ameleeweapon, agun, or abowto destroy Gnomes, but it’sbest to use a melee weapon so you don’t waste ammo. When you find a Gnome, destroy it, and you’ll hear a hilariously high-pitched scream.
This is your confirmation that the Gnome has been counted toward your ‘Orna Mental’ achievement progress.
We don’t know whether the Gnomes inAtomfallare alive, but considering how weird the game can get (and its roots in folk horror), it wouldn’t be surprising to find out that the Wyndham Village Garden Gnomes are living, breathing, pain-feeling sentient beings – or maybe their screams are all in your head.

Where To Find All Gnomes In Atomfall
There aremore than a dozen Gnome locations inAtomfall, all of which can be found within Wyndham Village. You will find Gnomes in just about every corner of the village, but youonly need to destroy 10x Gnomes to get the achievement.
Gnome 1: Outside The Old Woman’s House
As youenter Wyndham Village for the first time, you will see an old woman being kicked out of her house by Protocol soldiers as you walk down the main path. After the hubbub ends, return to the house to find this Gnome on a ledge right of the front door.
One of the first Garden GnomesAtomfallplayers tend to come across is right outside the Grendel’s Head Pub. Look next to a wooden barrel in front of the main entrance.
Gnome 3: Behind The Village Hall
After collecting the Garden Gnome in front of the pub, head behind the pub to find this Gnome on the ground, hidden just out of sight behind a Wheelbarrow and under a bench.
Gnome 4: Little Tea Room Windowsill
ThisAtomfallGnome location is on the windowsill of the Little Tea Room in the middle of the village. Be careful getting this Gnome, as there are a lot of Protocol soldiers in this location, and entering the abandoned Little Tea Shopwill cause them to turn hostile. you’re able to reach the Gnome from outside, so you shouldn’t have to go in.
Gnome 5: In An Alley Near The Green
This Gnome can be found below the sign that reads “The Fold” in the center of town,south of the Bakery. Jump down an alley that can be reached by either jumping over the ledge or walking down the alleyway beneath this area. Look for it on the left side of the alley as you enter.
Gnome 6: On Top Of The Church
To get this Garden Gnome,Atomfallplayers must head into the church and climb the stairway all the way to the top level to get to the roof of the church. This Gnome is sitting on the ledge up here, but be careful, as you might get attacked by crows if you spend too long up here.
Gnome 7: Behind A Shed In The Southeast
In the southeast corner of Wyndham Village, you will find a shed a little ways up the hill. Look to the right of the shed and climb over the wall to find this Gnome hiding out of sight.
Gnome 8: By the Bridge In East Wyndham
As you continue to the east side of Wyndham from the center of the village, you will cross a bridge. Look just to the left of this bridge to see this Gnome chilling by the small creek that splits the northeast side of Wyndham from the rest of the village.
Gnome 9: On A Stool In East Windham
Look for thisAtomfallGarden Gnome location in the section of the village across the creek, behind the row of houses. This is relatively hidden – be sure to search behind each shed and in each garden behind the houses.
Gnome 10: On A Bench Near Skethermoor
This Gnome can be found just to thenorth of the entrance to Skethermoorin the small green. Look for a bench on the other side of the small creek that leads out from Skethermoor to find a Gnome sitting on top of the bench.
Gnome 11: In An Alley Stairwell
In the middle of the village, walk between two buildings to see this Gnome sitting just next to a stairwell leading down. This one is very easy to miss - if you enter the alley from the east side, it should be more obvious.
Gnome 12: Waiting For The Bus
This Gnome can be found underneath the bench at the bus stop in Wyndham Village, just down the path from theentrance to Casterfell Woodsnear the abandoned Mereview Hotel.
Gnome 13: Crashing At The Hotel
After collecting the Gnome in the bus shelter, look to the left of the Mereview Hotel for a red couch. This Garden Gnome is sitting comfortably on top of this red couch.
