Toilet Tips

[The 46th President of the United]

Hey there guys.

I've been getting extremely frustrated with the first 4 star toilet i've come across. When using keyboard, the buttons seem to be put in extremely awkward postions with so little time to think about setting up that I usually run out by the 2nd/3rd part. Plus sometimes the registration of tapping 4 different buttons just doesn't seem to work.

If there something i'm missing? Or is it just designed to be extremely unresponsive and aggravating?

Both. There's an open issue at Ubisoft tech support about the poop minigame and keyboards that don't support simultaneous keypresses. So I suspect this game will be changing in the future, but even with a controller, some of the things you're supposed to do are just nuts.

It is worth mentioning that the keys light up in a specific order and have to be pressed accordingly. Contrary to common belief when people first encounter the minigames, you do not just button mash all the button prompts it shows you at once.

Best example i can give cause it's always the same regardless, is the "Gas up" inbetween the stars. You press S then D then left then down, in that order exactly, and of course quickly, instead of just pressing S, D, down and left all at once.

Wether there is an issue with certain types of keyboards or whatever i dunno, i personally did all the toilets first try, with the exception of the first 4-star one i encountered myself.

It happened to be the one in Jimmy's house, and the only reason i didn't manage to do it immediately, was because i myself didn't realize at first that you have to press the buttons in order and not at once, once i realized, the minigame was never a problem again.

I understand that, but they're not exactly clear and by the time i've finally figured out what silly timing/rhythm is necessary to move on, i've basically run out of gas. The only ones that are reliable and I generally don't lose gas on are the 'hold down two buttons, mash some others'.

The rest can be anything from mildly frustrating to 'this isn't going to happen and the game won't register it, so give up'.

Then if it works properly for you and you don't have any technical issues with the minigame, there's nothing to do but practice, i suppose.

You just gotta be faster in realizing what the pattern is, no one can help you with that. The only tip i could come up with is look at the button prompts, and then just try each possible order.

For example if it's A, D, up, down, just try A then D then up then down first, if it doesn't work, try D then A then down then up and so on.

Now you may be thinking "but that costs way too much time" well, not really as it makes a very specific sound when you did it correctly, and a different sound when you did it incorrectly, so you only have to do each order once if you pay attention to the sound.

Maybe that helps. Also there is only so many different patterns, you will encounter the same ones a bunch of times, it's not like there are a hundred different ones, so at some point you'll have them all memorized anyways.
