Cuisineer 100% Achievements Guide

Guide on how to obtain every achievement in the game.

Introduction

Welcome to my Cuisineer guide for getting every achievement in the game.
This guide might contain spoilers depending on how far you already progressed troughout the story - so keep that in mind while reading! ♥

The build I used for getting all achievements:

❗️ Missable

LIQUIDITY

Pay off the first debt on the same day you learn about it.

As long as you don't open the Restaurant, Iberico won't show up to tell you about the first debt.
So you can go on and collect enough materials in the dungeon for your opening and pay of the debt of 2.000 Coins.

There is a great guide made by Cynthia Cyan which leads you through it step by step:

🏤 Restaurant

Debts

	FINANCIAL FREEDOM	PAID OFF YOUR PARENTS' DEBT!
	ECONOMIC LIBERATION	PAID OFF YOUR PARENTS' ...SECOND DEBT!
	DUES HAVE BEEN PAID	PAID OFF YOUR PARENTS' ...THIRD DEBT!

Pay off your parents debts to Iberico.
1. debt = 2.000 Coins
2. debt = 10.000 Coins
3. debt = 70.000 Coins

Restaurant Upgrades

	COOKING UP A STORM	REACH RESTAURANT LEVEL 4
	COOKING UP A STORM II	REACH RESTAURANT LEVEL 8
	COOKING UP A STORM III	REACH RESTAURANT LEVEL 12
	COOKING UP A STORM IV	REACH RESTAURANT LEVEL 15

You will unlock this naturally while upgrading your restaurant to max with Alder.

Grinding coins

	ROLLING IN THE CASH	EARN / COLLECT A TOTAL OF 10000 COINS
	CAPITALISM HO!	EARN / COLLECT A TOTAL OF 50000 COINS
	CRAZY RICH POM	EARN / COLLECT A TOTAL OF 100000 COINS

All three achievements will unlock naturally while you play.

Decorating Restaurant

	JUST MOVED IN	PLACE 10 FURNITURE
	HOMEMAKER	PLACE 30 FURNITURE
	INTERIOR DESIGNER	PLACE 50 FURNITURE
	FURNITURE CONNOSSIEUR	PLACE 100 FURNITURE

You don't need to have 100 pieces of furniture placed at the same time.
It counts the furnitures you put in your restaurant overall.
I got it f.e. after a restaurant upgrade, which usually puts a few furnitures/decorations bag in your inventory. The achievement popped for me, after placing them again.

Others

IS THAT EDIBLE?

MAKE INEDIBLE FOOD ONCE

Cook a dish and leave it out on the counter over night.
The dish is gonna be inedible the next day.

CHILL OUT, MAN

SPEND A DAY IN TOWN WITHOUT OPENING THE RESTAURANT
OR GOING TO THE DUNGEON

Just don't do anything and let the day run out and let Pom go to bed on her own at 12 pm.

FAST FOOD RESTAURANT

SERVE AT LEAST 20 FRIED DISHES FOR A WHOLE
RESTAURANT DAY

You will naturally unlock this achievement sooner or later, while playing the game.
Just have enough materials for cooking up fried meals, since customers are more likely ordering dishes from the materials available in your fridge.

🛒 Travelling Caravan

Sweet | Sour | Umami | Salty | Bitter

Pastel de Nata - Sweet, Umami & Bitter days

	HANDY HAVERSACK	UPGRADE YOUR BAG INVENTORY TO LVL 4
	BAG OF HOLDING	UPGRADE YOUR BAG INVENTORY TO LVL 7
	LOOSENING THE BELT	UPGRADE YOUR BELT TO LVL 3
	BUFFET EDITION	UPGRADE YOUR BELT TO LVL 4

You will unlock these naturally while playing the game, because you will kind of need the inventory space and belt slots for Bobas.

Wakoucha - Bitter days

	THE HOBBYIST	BUY A RARE PAINTING FROM WAKOUCHA
	THE COLLECTOR	BUY 5 RARE PAINTINGS FROM WAKOUCHA
	THE CONNOISSEUR	BUY 10 RARE PAINTINGS FROM WAKOUCHA

You can simply buy the cheapest piece 10 times, you don't need to buy 10 different paintings.

Sencha - Umami days

	GREEN FINGERS	BUY A PLANT FROM SENCHA
	BOTANIST	BUY TOO MANY PLANTS FROM SENCHA (25)
	PLANT OTAKU	BUY WAY TOO MANY PLANTS FROM SENCHA (50)

You can simply buy the cheapest plant 50 times, you don't need to buy 50 different plants.
There're a few 100 Coins options.

Hojicha - Sweet days

	I LOVE CARPETS	BUY A RUG FROM HOJICHA
	I LOVE CARPETS!!	BUY TOO MANY RUGS FROM HOJICHA (10)
	I LOVE CARPETS!!!!!!	BUY WAY TOO MANY RUGS FROM HOJICHA (20)

You can simply buy the cheapest rug 20 times, you don't need to buy 20 different rugs.

	FOOLED TWICE	GET RIPPED OFF BY PORCINI ...AGAIN (2)
	A FOOL AND HIS MONEY...	GET RIPPED OFF BY PORCINI ...AGAIN AND AGAIN (5)

Simply buy all the overpriced weapons from Porcini's Special Shop.
I bought one a day.

💀 Dungeons

Arena

	ENTERTAINED	CLEAR AN ARENA
	ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED	CLEAR 10 ARENAS

You will unlock these achievements naturally while you play the game and finish overall 10 Arenas inside the Dungeons.

Bosses

All the Mini Bosses are found on Floor 3 and Final Bosses are on Floor 6.

	CHICKEN ATTTACCCK	DEFEAT THE BIG MAMA HEN
	SPICY SOUL	DEFEAT THE GHOST PEPPER
	BULLET HELL	DEFEAT THE ARTILLERY SHRIMP
	RANKING OF KINGS	DEFEAT THE KONPEITO KING

1. Big Mama Hen = Green Ruins Floor 6
   
2. Ghost Pepper = Mala Caverns Floor 6
   
3. Artillery Shrimp = Frozen Fjord Floor 6
   
4. Konpeito King = Konpeito Swamps Floor 6

If you struggle to much with either reaching Floor 6 in some dungeons, or by defeating the bosses => change the game difficulty to "unseasoned" (-80% incoming dmg)

PAELL FRIED CHICKEN

DEFEAT THE BIG BLACK CHICKEN AND BIG MAMA HEN WITH A TOASTY WEAPON

I did it in one run with the build mentioned in the beginning.
Defeat first the Mini Boss Black Chicken on Floor 3 and at the end of the dungeon Big Mama Hen.

THE BETTER PART OF VALOR

SUCCESSFULLY TELEPORT BACK TO TOWN WHILE FIGHTING THE END BOSS OF A
DUNGEON

Another achievement with which many people seem to struggle.

Just one tip: Don't try doing it in the Green Ruins fight with Mama Hen!
It is doable there, but really tricky timewise...

Doing it the easy way, is in the boss fight in Mala Caverns with Ghost Pepper!

This little guy prefers already spinning and attacking with his Scythe, while he is in a distance from you and he won't chase like crazy after you (unlike the Mama Hen...).

For this reason, you will have many possibilities during the fight, to stay in a corner and port out of the fight, while he keeps on spinning, or at a moment where he's actually exhausted.

Others

FRIENDSHIP IS EXPLOSIVE

HAVE A SPORELING CHASE YOU FOR A MINUTE WITHOUT IT DYING

Prepare a 1 Minute timer on your phone or computer and go to Konpeito Swamps - Floor 1.

If you are lucky, you'll have already in the first room next to the entrance, one of the Tree Monster which spawns the Spores.

If so: You should first kill all other mobs which could follow you in the room.
Once done, aggro the Tree Spore (run close enough to them) and lead it in the entrance room, since there is usually more space.
(or as shown on the Screenshot - when you have enough Space, just stay in the room you already are).

As soon as the spore starts following you, just walk/run in circles with the Sporeling for 1 minute. The color of the Sporeling here doesn't matter btw.

ANGER ROOM

SMASH 10 BREAKABLES IN 10 SECONDS

You have to destroy 10 vases or wooden boxes (can be a mix of both) in 10 seconds.

I did, as shown on the Screenshot, inside the Green Ruins, but you will find many similar places with many breakables around you (Konpeito Swamps has also many good spots with a mix of boxes and vases!).
Make use of your dash to move fast between them and destroy them.

GRILLED CHICKEN KEBAB

DEFEAT A CHIMKIN WITH A SPIKE OR ARROW TRAP WHILE IT IS ON FIRE

Same build as you're already using:
Just dash through chickens in Green Ruins, to give them the Aflame effect (you see the floor below you burning and the chickens standing inside get the fire debuff).

It's for sure easier to do in rooms with many auto Spikes on the floor (these activate without you stepping on them), because of the higher chances of chicken dying to one.

With normal traps (as shown on the screenshot) you have to run over the spike traps on which the chicken are, to activate them and kill them with the spikes.
It may need a few trys.

SPICY POTATO CHIPS

DEFEAT A PEWTATO WITH MALA CAVERNS' MALA LAVA

Go to Mala Caverns - Floor 1 and look for a room with Pewtatos.

As long as you are not to far away of them/out of sight, they will stand still and shoot Pewtato Chips at you.

You can either try to push them inside with normal attacks, but the easiest way is with our build.
Stand opposite of them and press Q for the special ability (Wave) of your Swordfish weapon.

The wave🌊 will carry them inside the lava. 🔥😈☠️

WHY!?!?!?!?

DIE WITH A FULL INVENTORY

Cheapest way: do it early before upgrading your bag and just collect a few trashy/bad weapons or amor.
Fill your bag with the trash -> enter any dungeon -> die to anything = Gratulations!🎉

Don't be like me:💀🤡

ON A DIET

COMPLETE A DUNGEON WITHOUT USING ANY BOBA TEAS

Best done in Green Ruins, because the maps of each Floor are shorter and overall the mobs and bosses are easier.
I recommend that you don't even buy Bobas and enter already without, but it also counts while carrying 4 Bobas - just don't use them! :)
Take the stairs to exit!

💯 Completion & other Achievements

Bubble Tea Shop

	BOBA SAVES LIVES	Upgrade a Bubble tea
	BOBA ADDICT	Upgrade a Bubble tea to max

Just upgrade one of your Bobas to max to unlock these achievements.

But I do recommend to unlock these two, in case you are playing with my build mentioned in the beginning:

Smitty Upgrades

	WILL IT KEEEELLLL??	UPGRADE A WEAPON
	IT WILL KEEEELLLL!!	UPGRADE A WEAPON TO MAX

Just upgrade any weapon to max lvl - achievement already pops the moment you hand the item to the Smithy Briquette.

Ankhiluun (brewing gear)

BATTLE BREW

BREW A PIECE OF GEAR SUCCESSFULLY

Unlocks after brewing your gloves or boots for the first time with Ankhiluun to change an effect.

	YOU CAN COOK: SO SIMPLE SO EASY	UNLOCK 30 RECIPES
	YOU CAN COOK: NO SKILL INVOLVED AT ALL	UNLOCK 50 RECIPES
	YOU CAN COOK: PAELL'S KITCHEN	UNLOCK 60 RECIPES

You will unlock those recipes naturally while you play the game and do the quests.

	ERRAND GIRL	COMPLETE 10 SIDE QUESTS
	ADVENTURER	COMPLETE 30 SIDE QUESTS
	EPIC TASKMASTER	COMPLETE 50 SIDE QUESTS
	COMPLETIONIST HERO	COMPLETE 70 SIDE QUESTS

All achievements will unlock naturally while you play the game and unlock all recipes.

Kaviar - League of Cuisineers

CHEF COOK-OFF

Qualify for the league of cuisineers

Pay Kaviar the entry fee of 120.000 Coins and do the quest which she gives you afterwards:
Request = 1 Throwing Plate => unlocks the last recipe
She will appear the next day in your restaurant and that's when the achievement unlocks.

	CHEFS OF STEEL	Defeat the league - Challenge 1
	CHEFS OF STEEL SEASON 2	Defeat the league - Challenge 2
	CHEFS OF STEEL ALLSTARS	Defeat the league - Challenge 3
	CHEFS OF STEEL: ULTIMATE EDITION	Defeat the league champions

I completed all 4 achievements with the same build and had 2x Fresh Milk Tea and 2x Masala Chai as Boba with me.


I usually recommend for the Challenge 1-3 these steps:

1. Go to the options and set the difficulty to "unseasoned" => it's easier with the -80% dmg reduction, since you also will fight in some rooms mini bosses from the floor 3 dungeons.
   
   
2. Leave the town, like you would do for the dungeons and choose the "Cooking Arena" on the map.
   
   
3. After Kaviar finished talking, I started rushing into the Mala Caverns room (south west) to collect the first materials.
   
   
4. After finishing the first room, rush out and cook up what you gathered as long as you can and then do one of the other rooms - repeat!

I heard that a few people had issues with the third Challenge ...if you do as I did and used the same build, I can assure: you will have 0 problems! :)

Story Spoiler ahead!

To get your last achievement, you have to defeat the League Champions.
You will fight your Mum and Dad in the arena (no cooking involved!).
I used the same build as already mentioned.
Your parents will rotate like this:
You will first fight your Mum, then your Dad and one final time your Mum again, with your Dad randomly appearing infight attacking you.

For those struggeling to find the other challenge rooms, after finishing the first, you have an arrow on the map:

⭐️ Thanks | Afterword ⭐️

Thank you very much for your attention to my guide.

It's the first guide I created for a game...so please be kind! :D
If you find any typos, or think some achievements need more explanation -> let me know and I will update the guide when possible!

Ps: If you encounter difficulties while completing some dungeon achievements, there is no shame in lowering the difficulty after trying it on higher settings.

Please be sure to rate and favorite the guide so more people will be able to find it easier!

@Ximiru
Hey there and I am happy to hear that the guide was helpful to you! :)
I actually do own a psnprofiles account too, but haven't thought about adding the guide there so that more ppl can play and complete the game.
I gonna add you and we can talk about it.

[Ximiru]

Hi M4ylin,
Thanks for the guide. With this I got 100% on the Playstation version of the game. I wanted to ask if I can use your guide to create a guide on psnprofiles that it will help more people to play and complete this game.
If you want we can discuss it privately.
