For specific choices, I don't remember them all off the top of my head but it's something like...
- Get the highest percentage you can out of the bulls, they don't care.
- I think you can get like 20% or 15% out of the guinea pig. If you go too high, he'll demand a lot, so go for the middle option. Go to the toilet goods shop. Send him to get the one ply if you want him to live (for that achievement), or two ply to maximize your profits.
- Same with Krista. Have her run out of the store instead of trying to go get help.
- Don't give anything to the kid with the gun.
- Get the max from the retarded womat. He'll take like 15%. Don't get him killed.
- Get 15% from the fox. If you start by asking for 30% she'll get pissed and only give you 10%.
- Honk the horn to distract the zombies.


Always look at the price difference between what they value and what the guild values. For example, the cat really likes fish (and the fishing rod you can trade for), so you can put these up as stakes for gambling and get her good stuff without having to put up your good stuff. When raiding the liqour store, weight is also part of the equation.

tl;dr: If you want to max everything, you need to do math. But 700 is easy just by making the right choices.

I would also like to know :D

I may be dumb but im guessing just gamble everything to get as much as i can THEN with the gamblers small amount leftover just dont bid all of it, i do this cos im really dumb, betting EVERYTHING, and risking reseting the WHOLE game to get back to do it again with the same risk, but if i do it successfully its worth it, cosi got every achivmnet then!
unless you dont like that risk then you dont need to do it, but that's my idea, and if you can get 1000 then i guess the right words can get you the right price. (Guess hanks notes do work, phrasing DOES matter):steamhappy:

This is also the expeditive way I did it, managed to clear the dog's inventory on the 3rd try and was lucky enough to also get the cat's in the same playthrough! I got the feeling that you have better chances of winning when you bet big, but that may be just psychological grappling at logic xD
The Panic Wolf Aug 14, 2019 @ 3:55am 
The dog for me takes 2 bet's to wash out, but i think the cat would be one due to the mass amount of items i would have, and the bird will take 1/3 of the loot at the start if you tell him he cant even carry half. Krista will give you 30% of your share if you say your from the guild and say she is safe with you, im not to sure about any lower. dog and cat just play their game, if you feel lucky... Do ya? Idk about trade, seems pointless if i need 700 points unless its required. The only animals i dont like are the fox and Elliot because they dont really negotiate. Off topic but i just thought it was funny how you could give Larry a black eye, looks like hes crying sometimes when he has it :steammocking:.

Don't rely on wiping out the cat and the dog with the dice game, I got both of those achievements in one playthrough along with keeping everyone alive and not letting the kid rob me and I still was short by 4 points, so making the right choices with not being too greedy with most people re % of loot along with what items you choose to keep seems still to be vital.
