Monster Garden Achievements

From monster love to the void, this guide will help you get all the achievements in Monster Garden!

Intro

For every character in the game, there are two achievements for them. One for meeting and becoming friends with them, and a second for seeing an epilogue at the end of the game.
I am unsure about the best way to see the epilogue at the end of the game for the characters, but there do seem to be some things that help:
*Talking to each character in between levels (and at the party) until you exhaust their dialogue tree
*Reading their diaries
*Talking to Alfred at the end of the house level ('Wait a minute')
*Being nice to them, in general
*I don't know if this helps, but getting the character you want to see the epilogue for, to talk to Alfred seems to help, but even if you do this, the other characters will probably get their epilogue too, so it probably doesn't help.

If there is a monster you just cannot seem to get the epilogue for, leave a comment down below. Some of them can be a bit hard to get epilogues for.

Then there is a second section of achievements, these achievements are for what kind of garden you grew, and will be determined at the end of the game.

If I get anything wrong or miss something, please feel free to correct me.

Foofer

Foofer is unmissable to meet.

Swamp Tips!

This is Leg Dog:


To beat the boss at the end of the swamp level, you'll need to get the newly acquired monster friend to talk to the swamp boss, whether that be Baby, Feb, Fryer, or Drizzy.

When you turn off all the lights, the big creatures sitting in the water, wake up, and they can join your garden now!

Fryer

Fryer can be befriended only in the swamp level. They are the easiest swamp character to befriend. You have to keep walking along the blue path, but if you go off the blue path it doesn't ruin it, as long as you don't interact with any of the blocks or light plants off the blue path.

To be safe, just don't interact with anything, and keep on the blue path.

Baby

Baby can only be befriended in the swamp. You'll need to talk to all the blocks to get Baby to appear. Don't interact with the light plants. You can interact with the Leg Dog if you want. Baby's diary is a toothbrush sculpture, you can read it the same way you can read the other diaries.

Feb

Feb can only be found in the swamp. To get Feb to appear, you'll need to interact with all the light plants. Don't bother talking to all the blocks if you don't want to, but you'll need to interact with Leg Dog to get to one of the light plants.

D. Cart

D. Cart can only be found in the swamp. You won't be able to befriend them in the swamp though, but they will appear in the garden when you finish the swamp. To get D. Cart, you'll need to just interact with Leg Dog. Because they appear in the garden, you will be able to befriend another swamp monster in this run.

Drizzy

To get Drizzy, you'll need to reject any swamp monster that you get at the end of the level. You'll need to come up to the boss and fail, so you get sent back to the garden. Drizzy will appear in the garden. When you befriend Drizzy, you can go back to the swamp and defeat the swamp boss. You can also have both D. Cart and Drizzy if you want, befriending D. Cart doesn't mean you can't befriend Drizzy.

Drizzy can also be found in the tree level, if you reject all the monsters at the end of the level.

When you read Drizzy's diary, you'll see they want everything to go down in a particular way. They want you to delete every monster you see in the tree level. They want you to let them choose where to go in every room in the house level, and they want you to befriend Doofer.

Tree Level Hints!

The mushrooms lead the optimal way to the end of the level. But once you get used to the level, it's hard to run out of time.

You can always get Foofer back if you want to. It's easy enough to rescue him. If you have Foofer, you can use him to defeat the boss by going into the boss's hands and getting Foofer to talk to the boss.

To get rid of Foofer, you'll need to wait out the timer to get him taken away, and then not rescue him. To defeat the boss without him, don't go into his hands. You'll need to go over to the boss's shoulder on the left of the screen, where it's shiny. The boss will try to stop you, but ignore them. You need to interact with the shiny part, and then push the button. You can talk, push or (delete if you have Drizzy) him, it will still defeat him.

You can jump off certain areas, at the end of platforms, around the tree level, if you want to get all the side monsters.

Tifa

Tifa can only be gotten in the tree level. To get Tifa, you'll need to just wait around in the tree level until the timer runs out twice. Once for getting rid of Foofer, and once more again.

Tifa can be used to rewind if things go wrong with the boss. Tifa can also rescue Foofer before leaving the level, if you forgot to recuse him but still want him. Or you can get Tifa to leave Foofer behind.

Mel

Mel can only be found in the tree level. If you venture down a path in the tree level on the second screen, you will find Mel. Get Mr Bobo to push Mel. Mel will appear later when you get to select which monster to take with you.

Roofy

Roofy can only be met in the tree level. You will find Roofy running around, pretty hard to ignore. Push Roofy twice with Mr Bobo, and he will get anxious and run away. He will appear later when you get to choose which monster to bring with you.

Tookis

Tookis can only be found in the tree level. Tookis is pretty easy to find. When the Booty Biker Boys jump away in the first screen, you will be able to chat with him. Get Foofer to comfort him, until Tookis turns blue. Tookis will appear later when you choose which monster to bring with you.

House Level Hints

The house is the hardest level to get monsters on.

You need to make sure that you have the right monsters that will go the way you want to. Very few monsters will follow only one of the monsters, Drizzy is one of them. Drizzy will only follow Doofer, unless Doofer is not a choice to follow. Foofer will also only follow Mr Bobo, if Mr Bobo is an option.

It's best to save before doing the house level, and redoing it if you mess up.

It seems there is no benefit to leaving straight after you find Mr Bobo, instead of talking to Alfred. It seems it's always better to talk to Alfred ('Wait a minute').

The monster friends will give you hints as to which room they will choose. Two monsters will talk before you have to choose a room. What they say will be the hints. If only one monster talks, then it means you don't have a monster with you that will choose the other room.

There are multiple monster friend combinations that will allow you to get different monsters. And there are multiple routes to get the same monster as well. There are some monsters that can be gotten by going the bully's way as well as Mr Bobo's way at the start. In this guide I will only be giving one way to befriend each monster.

Jelly Pot

Room 1: Drizzy -Following the bullies
Room 2: Drizzy -Following Doofer
Room 3: Tifa -Following Jelly Pot
Room 4: Drizzy -Following Jelly Pot
Room 5: Tifa -Befriending Jelly Pot.

Tenty

Room 1: Tifa -Following Mr Bobo
Room 2: D. Cart -Following Mr Bobo
Room 3: D. Cart -Following Mr Bobo
Room 4: Roofy -Following Tenty
Room 5: Foofer -Befriending Tenty.

Q

Room 1: Feb -Following Bullies
Room 2: Foofer -Following Q
Room 3: Tookis -Following Q
Room 4: Feb -Following Q
Room 5: Tookis -Befriending Q.

Doofer

The easiest way to get Doofer is to get Drizzy, and let Drizzy make all the choices in the house level. If you are going for Doofer, make sure you get rid of Foofer in the tree level.

Let Doofer speak to Alfred at the end, if might help see their epilogue.

Bobos

To be able to choose one of the Bobos to come with you, you need to just follow Mr Bobo. Foofer will always follow Mr Bobo. Just keep letting Foofer choose where to go.




Doctor Bobo






Twilight Bobo






King Bobo






Lil' Bobo

Garden Endings

There are four different types of special endings you can get.

*Loving

*Playful

*Analytical

*Mysterious


Which ending you get depends on what monsters you have in your garden. Each monster has a mix of personalities. You need to make sure that you don't get too many monsters from different categories, if you want to get a certain ending.

You will know you have gotten a special ending if, after the epilogues Mr Bobo appears in a dark room by himself, and talks to you about the garden. Just through playing through the game normally multiple times, you are bound to get at least one, if not most of the special endings.

Just though dialogue, you should have an easy time pinning down each of the monster's personalities.

These combos are just the easiest ones I could get, but there are multiple different combos to get these endings.

Analytical:
Fryer
Mel
Doofer

Mysterious:
Drizzy
Tifa
Jelly Pot
D Kart

Kind:
Foofer
D Kart
Baby
Tookis
Q

Playful:
Foofer
Baby
Roofy
Tenty
