Achievement Hunting - Official Collaboration Thread?
Edit Note: The community has done a wonderful job putting together what someone needs to do for full completion! To anyone wandering to this thread, my initial questions and lists don't really apply anymore. We know how to get all the achievements now. Thank you to everyone for your hard work!

Community-provided Google-Doc:

Actual Achievement Guide that laid things out cleanly:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2300966431








Original Post:

For the completionists among us, we all know that we're going to try and make one mega-thread about the missable achievements anyway, to compile a guide somewhere. Why not start here?

Feel free to comment and explain whatever missable achievement you have come across that you can explain how to get to help a Homestuck out.

For example, there were three achievements upon my completion of Act 2.

One for the Act ending.
One for ending with while still having my batteries. These need to be imported from your Act 1 save file.
One for completing the Act without getting a Game Over. This was simple enough because you can just reload your save when you die. You game will continue without you reloading and autosave where you are, but just reload the save before that and you're fine.

There's an achievement for checking the Hint function, if anyone playing never needed a Hint yet.

One of the Game Overs I got had an achievement, where I agreed to basically fall into Ardata's trap.

And I believe the outcomes for the "Ace Attorney" segment probably all have corresponding achievements (can't confirm) but I got one for what seems to be the most common route, where Lynera is convicted.

There are two achievements for talking to everyone in the first train two cars (the burgundy and bronze bloods, and the yellow and olive bloods), I think. I haven't found how to unlock the similar achievement for the highbloods, though.

There is also an achievement attached to each of the Horn-options for Joey. Another collection issue easily resolved through the power of smart-save-placing.

Who else has something to add to the collective knowledge here?

Another thought that I'd need to test, but I figured I'd leave it here anyway- I didn't get 'Standing Room Only' when I was pretty sure I talked with all of the folks in the first train car... and I didn't get 'First Class' either.
I wonder if Chixie and Zebruh count and if they're not on the train, you can't get those achievements? I had neither on my playthrough.
Yeah, pretty sure that's it. On my first playthrough, I got Zebruh's ticket and traded for two fakes, so Chixie was on the train, and got Standing Room Only.

Also, does anyone know how to get Elwurd's chittr? I believe I need it for the "Third Most Popular Chittr User" achievement, but I haven't been able to get it so far.

yeah people laid out the step-by-step and a word doc somewhere in this thread

Tagora doesn't react to joey having Cirava's picture*.

With most possibilities exhausted and a whole alternate route to Amisia's Game featuring the word 'thinkpiece' which ends with no achievement. Thinkpiece is seemingly unobtainable which makes Achievement Hunter unobtainable.

*Cirava's picture as in the picture Cirava gives you, not a picture of Cirava.

On the platform before you board the train, after you agree to try and find one real ticket to trade for her two fakes. Talk to her again and she should give it to you.

also here's the link to the google doc again if you need it

correction to the Document: You need to give the Garbage to Amisia for Thinkpiece, not Remele. Remele doesn't need to be spoken to do the Thinkpiece route

Oh, I got it now. I just wasn't talking to her at the right time. Thanks!

If I recall correctly, the person who had the suggestion about Cirava wasn't talking about their picture? I think they were saying you could somehow get "materials" from Cirava instead of Marsti?

(I'm not near there though)

The material is the picture, I spoke to every other troll with the garbage in hand, they all have unique dialogue but only tagora triggers a new route.]

Realise I said Cirava's picture, which is a confusing way to word it, added disclaimer.

I can't confirm it since I already have 'Arte'
But I think an alternate solution that might also trigger it than the one I've seen is- For Amisa's task: talk to Remele, go and talk to Cirava and they will take Joey's picture, go back and talk to Remele to give her the picture. Go to Amisa with the results.
It definitely gets you past the section, but I didn't get any achievements since I'd done it with the Remele/Garbage method before.

Oh I see I was confused and thought you were referencing the picture of Cirava from when they looked dead. Their "material" to use for Amisia's quest is a picture of Joey then...

Yeah, was just talking with Emily here for a while about how it may be glitched.
Quincy Quinn Nov 26, 2020 @ 12:13pm 
Also I really don't think Vet Tech is glitched since more people seem to be obtaining it. I think we just don't have the right actions down for that one.
Tellah Nov 26, 2020 @ 12:14pm 
...yeah I think maybe my post was ill-timed XD
I'm not sure if it's glitched or just an alternate route, though- it's impossible to test for me since I have the achievement already.

The joey picture probably works for Arte and isn't bugged, though it would be good to test it to make sure.
