Best friend achievement

[Aesmatv]

i'm seriously confused on this.

i've done another playthrough.

didn't talk to the cat unless it auto prompt

did not snitch on the kids, was super nice and honest to all of them

but still got the cat again as my best friend

[Aesmatv]

anyone have any ideas?

[Suleviae]

You have to consistently agree with one of the kids. I remember when I got Blue, I told him to throw the ball at the beginning, and made sure to go back and talk to him about Luca when he's in the barn. There might be other factors though.

[Aesmatv]

that's why i'm so confused cuz everytime i saw the kids, i agreed with each when the option was there, chose all the good options, never ratted them out. avoided the cat as much as possible.

did all the good stuff with blue as well

[Suleviae]

Are you agreeing with the one you're talking to every time? There's one point where you have to disagree with ...Silver? and say that the forest is scary if you want to side with Blue.

[Aesmatv]

oooh see i didn't know that . that's why i was looking for advice like if anyone knew the step by step dialog needed for each child.

cuz its hard to figure out what goes wrong on options lol.

[Suleviae]

I haven't seen anything like that posted anywhere. Just various discussions like this one. It seems like each choice dialogue has you picking a side though. So, you'd have to make sure you take your best friend's side every time for the achievement.

awesome i appreciate it so im' thinking maybe that's where i went wrong with blue.

Here's all the steps for all the kids. To get the achievement, you also need to solve their Song of the Children puzzle once they show up in Chapter 5. If you fail to satisfy the full requirements for any of the kids, you get the Cat achievement instead. You can't get both Friend and Cat in the same playthrough.

Black:

1. In Chapter 2, don't tell Olivia that the kids stole her door knob.
2. When asked to tell a story in Chapter 2, go with a scary one (e.g. "Playing hide and seek" => "The cemetery" => "A bear trap").
3. When Red and Black are fighting in Chapter 4, pick strength over cunning.

Blue:

1. When playing with the ball in Chapter 1, encourage Blue to do his super shot ("Show me what you got!").
2. When talking with Silver in Chapter 2 (while he's blocking the way to behind the barn), tell him you believe Blue's stories.
3. When asked to tell a story in Chapter 2, go with a non-scary one (e.g. "Hiding shoes" => "The shoemaker's shop" => "A banana peel at the entrance").
4. When playing hide and seek in Chapter 3, find Blue in his secret hideout under the smelly pile of straw near the bakery.

Raven:

1. When playing with the ball in Chapter 1, encourage Blue to follow the rules ("Cut it out and play by the rules").
2. In Chapter 2, don't tell Olivia that the kids stole her door knob.
3. When asked to tell a story in Chapter 2, go with a scary one (e.g. "Playing hide and seek" => "The cemetery" => "A bear trap").
4. When talking to her while Red and Black play animal race in Chapter 3, tell her you also hear voices from the forest ("Do you mean their... singing?").
5. While playing hide and seek in Chapter 4, don't lie to her about having already found Black.
6. When Red and Black are fighting in Chapter 4, pick cunning over strength.

Red:

1. In Chapter 2, don't tell Olivia that the kids stole her door knob.
2. When asked to tell a story in Chapter 2, go with a scary one (e.g. "Playing hide and seek" => "The cemetery" => "A bear trap").
3. While playing hide and seek in Chapter 4, find Raven before Black and lie to her about having already found Black.
4. When Red and Black are fighting in Chapter 4, pick cunning over strength.

Silver:

1. When talking with Silver in Chapter 2 (while he's blocking the way to behind the barn), tell him you don't believe Blue's stories.
2. In Chapter 2, don't tell Olivia that the kids stole her door knob.
3. When asked to tell a story in Chapter 2, go with a non-scary one (e.g. "Hiding shoes" => "The shoemaker's shop" => "A banana peel at the entrance").
4. In Chapter 3, while he's guarding Red and Black's game, retrieve his gift for him and don't try to hit him.

Sunny:

1. When playing with the ball in Chapter 1, encourage Blue to follow the rules ("Cut it out and play by the rules").
2. In Chapter 2, tell Olivia that the kids stole her door knob.
3. In Chapter 2, report to her and tell her what the kids are doing behind the barn.
4. When asked to tell a story in Chapter 2, go with a non-scary one (e.g. "Hiding shoes" => "The shoemaker's shop" => "A banana peel at the entrance").
5. In Chapter 3, after borrowing her shears, don't forget to give them back.
6. After finding her near the forest while playing hide and seek in Chapter 4, tell her you'll protect her.

omg thank u so much. its literally all i'm missing ahahha well almost

[Sven_Q45]

I had no hide and seek in chapter 3. So all work for nothing. This game is so frustrating...

So it was in chapter 4. BUT I did all of the things for Blue but didn´t get the achievement.

Hm, weird - I just got the cat, guess, my story was neither really scary nor non scary and cunning over strength brought me nowhwere
Plus, I even looked in a walkthrough for that, the author got the friend achievement - I got the cat. Nothing against that, but still....

Did you look at the steps I listed above in my long post? Those are verified. I also listed the exact choices to make the story scary or non-scary. Sometimes there's a lot of steps to clear, if you fail even one, you get the cat.

[sylviakotulla]

Must have failed the story - will play again and be careful

[sylviakotulla]

It worked fine now with the guide - got Blue, as intended ! Thank you

[katiogaga]

I have the opposite problem. Haven't been able to get the cat achievement even though I've tried being mean to all the kids lol
