NITW - 100% Achievements: Day by Day

WARNING!!! SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

I designed this guide for people who want to know the fastest possible way to get all Night in the Woods: Weird Autumn Edition achievements. I highly recommend finishing the game at least once before following this guide. Nonetheless, it only includes instructions relevant for 100% completion. Players cannot miss all other required steps while playing the game. However, some people could consider some of this guide's information as spoilers. Thus, I put this spoiler warning here for your safety.

This guide is inspired by and heavily based on this guide[www.trueachievements.com] for the "Seriously?" achievement on trueachievements.com, written by amenazamenor JF[www.trueachievements.com].


How to save and reload game data if needed (Special Thanks: Tarantino)

1. Navigate to AppData -> LocalLow -> Infinite Fall -> Night in the Woods
   
2. Copy-paste player.dat and player.bak into a separate directory on your PC (this is the save game data)
   
3. When you want to reload that save game data, copy-paste both files back into the Night in the Woods directory, replacing the current player.dat and player.bak files

Special Thanks

Partial Playthroughs

Day 4

- 2 partial playthroughs left! Both involve hanging out with Gregg on Day 4.

Partial Playthrough 1

- Choose 1 of the 2 robot heads we did not pick during Playthrough 1.

- We can reset the game immediately after Mae comes home; that's when she writes the robot head in her journal.

- To reset the game, go to:
Options -> Clear Save Data -> Yes (hold for 3 seconds)

- This saves the most amount of time to get the game's last head during Partial Playthrough 2.

Partial Playthrough 2

- Same as Partial Playthrough 1 except choose the head not chosen in either Playthrough 1 nor Partial Playthrough 1.

- Once that's done, we should have all achievements unlocked!

[Natty]

@springbomb @DarkKiller2837 Glad I could help!

[DarkKiller2837]

Thanks for guide,helps a lot

[springbomb]

Worked like a charm! I used debug mode on the last runs to speed things up! Tysm!

[Natty]

I've realised at this point that it's been so long since I've played this game that I can't properly answer most specific questions anymore, like the ones I've gotten this year.

@EstherGreenwood I'm not sure what's wrong, I guess double checking elsewhere to really make sure you did them all?

@DerangedCrow For every sketch, as long as you get that sketch on at least one of your playthroughs, it'll count. If you got the electric towers in another playthrough, that would count.

[DerangedCrow]

Hopefully this is not too late, but @Emza! you can skip Demon Tower within a playthrough and return to it on another day in the game, but if you get to the ending of the game you will lose all progress you had in Demon Tower when you start a new playthrough (I learned that the hard way). So I wouldn't recommend skipping Demon Tower longer than Day 11 if you made at least some progress in it.
