Hey @Shan I did check the baggage car , he was there before I got off the train but when I returned, he wasn't there anymore. I'm playing on Epic (from the free giveaway).

My specs are:
Acer Aspire E5-576G
OS: Windows 11 21H2
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U
RAM: 16GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce MX150

Hey @SilentDon! I just wanted to confirm that you checked the baggage car for Big Daddy . Would you also be able to confirm your platform, as well as provide us with your specs if you're playing on PC?

[SilentDon]

I got the Burblo after getting kicked off the train, but then Big Daddy isn't anywhere on the train. So I can't give it to him

Hello @AraknidX. Thank you for reporting this to us. The issue you are experiencing is being caused by restarting the game via the credits. We apologize and our team is currently working on fixing this. Unfortunately at this time, to complete the squeaky stranger, you will have to delete your save in the Options menu which can be found at the main menu and restart the game. Again, we appreciate you reporting this to us and we are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

[AraknidX]

I'm playing this on Xbox via Game Pass and I'm struggling with the Squeaky Stranger achievement.
I've found the stranger four times as the guide states, receiving a piece of cheese after the fourth encounter , but the person does not appear when I return to the home town.
When first arriving back home, the game spawned me in the bedroom talking with mom then the credits rolled. Even after selecting to continue exploring, I can't find them in the alley, or anywhere else in town.
My inventory is also empty at this stage, should I still have the cheese?

[Shan]

Hey @Coffee And Green Tea! We're so sorry about the confusion, and thank you for the suggestion! We definitely don't want our guide to be confusing! Could you confirm if you're referring to Step 3 for the Sticky Fingers Las Venganza achievement?

[Coffee And Green Tea]

You should put for the las ven sticker Coffee shop nearest Paris statue and put the sticker is on the left display your guide had me lost 🙏🤣

[MightyYell]

I am so glad you got it! You're so totally welcome and happy conning!

[Snug]

Got it! Turns out I was slamming my face along the bush closest to the road & going up, instead of doing it next to the bench. Thanks! :)
