[Solved] Achievements "Diamond Geezer", "Best Buddies" and "Game Complete"
Hey,

it seems that for me the achievements "Diamond Geezer" and "Best Buddies" are bugged. They wont unlock. And "Diamond Geezer" should be a unmissable one while completing the game. I tried "Best Buddies" several times now, with different orders of items fed to the goat. But with no success.

Anyone has some experience with it and can give me some tips how to unlock them ?

Thanks and best regards,

silent

Edit:Solved

For both achievements my savegames seemed to be bugged.

For "Best Buddies" it seems, you have to interact with the dead rat in the office of Vera Security first to get it triggered.

Best Buddies savegame[uploadfiles.io] uploaded by Frankie
Game Complete savegame[www20.zippyshare.com] uploaded by silent

Using these savegames should fix it. (Don't forget to backup your own savegames).

Goat feeding for "Best Buddies" achievement :
1) One of the apples
2) Provenance
3) Marqués' scribbled photograph
4) Yarn (the goat says "thanks")
5) Piece of rich tea biscuit (the goat says "thanks" again)
Taken from this guide.

Edit:Game Complete

I added a savegame which is at 90% progress and should fix the "Game Complete" achievement.

I just achieved the "Best Buddies" achievement. It seems it wont unlock, because i started the episode 2 directly from the menu. When i used a save which entered episode 2 by playing through episode 1, all worked out. Seems like the episode 1 history in the savegame was needed to unlock this one.

The "Diamond Geezer" is obviously bugged to me. When i cut the window with the diamond ring, the next screen shown is not george standing outside of le lézard bleu but the waiter standing outside of le tricolore. First when i am interacting with the game, the screen is moving to George.

I tried verifying the game cache, reinstalling and different ingame options, but with no success.

You can put the steps you took to feed the goat?

I have tried many options I've seen on the forums and none worked, this is new to me. That worked for you?
silent Jan 21, 2015 @ 9:25am 
Yes it worked for me. You have to keep in mind to use a save which has the episode 1 history attached to it. So it won't work when you directly start episode 2 from the menu.

Nothing.

I tried 1000 ways possible and achievement doesn't appear to me. :(

Well i performed the order i mentioned above and when i came back to the goat as Nico, the goat was talking to me and the achievement unlocked. You can try to download the savegame from this guide and import it to yours. (Dont forget to backup your saves before) And try it again there. If this does not work, i have no idea what else to do.

I downloaded the savegame and I finally appeared achievement! Thanks!

Btw, I have seen that I have a savegame before achievement Diamonds Geezer, you want it?
silent Jan 21, 2015 @ 3:07pm 
Ah i am happy that it finally worked out for you :)

Did "Diamond Geezer" achievement unlock for you ? If so i would really appreciate trying it out with your savegame.
Lian WeLL Jan 21, 2015 @ 3:16pm

Damn ! Your savegame worked for me :)

Thanks so much, now i got them all :)
Seems like there was some kind of corruption in my savegame then.

I edited the original post and i used your link. Hope thats okay for you.
