Donut County Chronological %100 Achievement Guide

This guide is to get all the achievements in one sitting, arranged by the level order. It's based on Valentin's guide, I just reordered them with additional tips from the comments on that guide.

Introduction

I was checking Valentin's Achievement Guide to Perfect this game, but figured that the achievements are grouped in a more traditional way, like story-related and missable.

This allows a person to see the achievements in a list and search for any of them if they are missing it, but as it inherently doesn't have any chronological order, you can't follow it through from beginning to end and get all the achievements. Since there was no other guide to do this, I just started to write the order to a Word file and see how long it would take. It didn't take much, so we have this guide.

I played the game only once, while playing noted down the levels, and the related achievements. This guide will share them in that order. Which means if you follow this guide, at the end of the guide you will have all the achievements.

It also means if you follow this guide, you will be seeing all the spoilers. So let me right it bigger, bolder: SPOILERS AHEAD.

Here is the Valentin's guide if you want to check it out:

As I wrote this guide in one sitting, there might be some problems with it. If you see any issues with the guide or have some suggestions/feedbacks, please leave a comment, and then there is a possibility that I can fix them, at some point. (No guarantee though. I mean I don't want this guide to follow me whole my life. And I don't expect to have much problems with the content as the game is complete. But still, leave a comment, maybe the fear of letting people down will let me come back here and fix whatever was the issue.)

Special shoutout to Cynic0055 for the inspiration.

Achievement Breakdown

Story Related: 6
Soft Missable: 14

Soft Missable means you might miss it if you don't pay attention to it, or don't know that there is an achievement about it, but you don't need a whole another playthrough to get it again. There will be level selection and you can just replay the level to get it.

Mira’s House

Achievement Start: Quack Enthusiast
(Missable) Quack 100 times.


There will be times you will text. You can reply to move plot further, or just quack for fun. You need to quack 100 times.

Count your quacks. Achievement didn’t pop for me when I reached to 100. I did the same in the next level Donut County and it showed the achievement there, without popping.

darkly77 and Sapca11 say it is easier to get this near the barn level. You can click on it +10 times in between each text you receive. That's why I moved the actual achievement there, and this is just a reminder now. But it's possible you can get it even in these early stages.

Donut County

Just texting, no achievements.

Popper’s Rock

Pup's Odyssey
(Story-Related) Release the hot air balloon.

Ranger Station

No Achievements.

Riverbed

No Achievements.

Campground

No Achievements

Hopper Springs

No Achievements

Joshua Tree

Pyro
(Missable) Set Pepper's trailer on fire.

Eat some rocks to get big enough to eat the campfire. Then the crow at the grill drops some black stuff that makes the fire go boom. When you eat one go to the trailer house as quickly as possible to light it on.

Beach Lot C

No Achievements

Gecko Park

Music Lover
(Missable) Finish Gecko Park without collecting the radio.

Make sure to not eat the radio until you eat everything else, house included. Radio is on top of a plastic box. Since it will reach the hole earlier than radio, don’t worry about it.

Chicken Barn

Quack Enthusiast
(Missable) Quack 100 times.


Due to the ease of getting this achievement in this level, I moved it here. It is possible you got this before this level. If you haven't, make sure you get it here before moving on.

---

Gamer
(Missable) Stock up on gamer fuel.


In this level, Mira will ask BK to buy catapult upgrade for the hole. BK will then open a shop where you can buy catapult and energy drinks. Other stuff is either bought already or closed. Make sure to buy the energy drinks first. As soon as you get them, the achievement will pop.

---

Egg Breaker
(Missable) Break 3 dozen eggs.


At a certain point, you will unlock a machine that throws an egg into the air. Catch one and catapult it to the switch, so the machine starts sending the eggs faster. Let them break until the achievement pops.

Honey Nut Forest

No Achievements

Cat Soup

Secret Soup
(Missable) Make Chef's secret soup recipe.


Get the ring so you have the water for the soup in the pot. Get the water from the pot into the hole. Then you need to get 2 shakes salt and 3 shakes pepper. When you bring the hole close to the turning platform, you get the shakes, but also one follower. Don’t allow followers to touch to soup. When you reach 5 followers and your soup turns red, give it to the bird. If you were able to bring tears to its eyes, you will get the achievement.

Edit 1: Changed shake quantities, per DensetsuDan's comment

Donut Shop

Donut County
(Story-Related) Destroy the donut shop.

Abandoned House

No Achievements

Raccoon Lagoon

The Flume Is Doomed
(Story-Related) Destroy Raccoon Lagoon.

The 405

No Achievements

Raccoon HQ

Hacker
(Story-Related) Hack into the mainframe.

Biology Lab

Bandit
(Missable) Break into the vault at Raccoon HQ.


Get the snake tail in the first scene. In the second scene you will be controlling a magnetic grabber. With the grabber you need to enter the secret code: Up, Left, Down, Left, Grab. It doesn’t matter even if the Grabber can’t reach to that position, you only need to click the buttons in this order and you will get the cutscene. If you click a button twice, click Grab to refresh and start again until you see the cutscene. Credits to Romaki's comment on Valentin's guide.

We will be able to finish this achievement in the next part.

Edit 1: DensetsuDan notes that you need to be relatively fast while entering the code.

Raccoon HQ

We are back at the Raccoon HQ hall. Move straight to get to the lobby, then to the security and enter the vault. The Bandit achievement should pop as soon as you enter the vault.

Anthropology Lab

Disrespecter
(Missable) Destroy Trash King's monitor.


Get the fire. Get the fireworks in the next scene. Go under the Trash King’s monitor quickly. Let the fireworks destroy the monitor and get the achievement.

Raccoon HQ

No Achievements

Trash King’s Office

No Achievements

Raccoon HQ

Fight with the King Quadcopter.
Game Over
(Missable) Lose the boss fight.


No need to do anything for this, just wait until the boss defeats you. Honestly, beating the boss takes shorter than waiting for this.

---

Flawless
(Missable) Complete the boss fight without taking damage.


For the first phase, make sure to not get any cement into the hole and catch the small bombs. You need to catapult them to quadcopter before it attacks the air balloon. You can catapult the mini bomb anytime, but it is better to wait until quadcopter goes into “attack to air balloon” mode, so it stays in one place. Also, after you catch the mini-bomb, its timer kinda stops until you catapult it, so no need to be anxious and throw it earlier. Need to do this three times.

For the second phase, get the BK as quickly as possible and catapult it to the quadcopter. Then collect the bombs and catapult them to King Quadcopter. When the quadcopter gets blown up, the achievement will pop.

---

Dethroner
(Missable) Destroy Trash King's monument.


When we scoop up the broken quadcopter, the propellers will create a tornado. At this stage you see the monument at the bottom of the screen, but can’t hurt it. Right after you finish eating the last piece of the quadcopter, second scene will start and camera will pan to the left, leaving the monument at the right side of the screen. As the camera starts swinging, make sure to keep the tornado close to the monument, so you can destroy it and get the achievement.

---

Boss Fight
(Story-Related) Win the boss fight.


You will get this as soon as you destroy the Trash King’s mansion with the tornado.

???

This is the level where you catapult everyone back to the surface.

Redeemed
(Story-Related) Bring everyone back from underground.

---

Nerd
(Missable) Complete the Trashopedia.


After you finish catapulting everyone, open the Trashopedia and go to the last entry. You will get the achievement as soon as you get there.

Donut Shop

Pilot
(Missable) Fly through the donut hole.


Just go straight with the quadcopter you’re piloting.

---

Escape
(Missable) Find Trash King's secret getaway vehicle.


After you fly through the donut, turn around to find an anchor right next to the vehicle BK is sitting on top and controlling the quadcopter. Follow the anchor all the way up, near clouds, to see the escape vehicle of the Trash King. Some say you need to get close to Trash King to get the achievement. I just get it as soon as I reach the deck. Maybe the bottom of the vehicle doesn’t count.

Good catch, thank you for commenting about it. Deleted it now.

[Leper Friend]

The "Gamer" achievement text is duplicated in "Egg Breaker". Thanks for the helpful article!

[acibi]

Glad it helped. I changed that achievement's position and also credited you.

[Sapca11]

Just 100% using your guide!
Thank you very much.

Regarding the Quack Achievement: You can do it in the barn level. You can literally click on the duck for 100 times just on that level.

Was wondering how to open the secret vault in the Raccoon HQ. Great find with the secret code!

Pretty easy to 100% this game after following this Guide.

[acibi]

In Trashopedia, as a note. Don't know after which level it was showing up though.

[mhenry1384]

where do you actually find the code for the vault in game?

[acibi]

Thanks for the corrections, added them to guide with credits to you.

[DensetsuDan]

Thank you for the guide! I did however, notice an incorrect achievement description.
For " Secret Soup " you wrote: "Then you need to get 3 shakes salt and 2 shakes pepper."
The in-game recipe states "2 shakes salt, 3 shakes pepper" which then creates the red soup.
I'll also note that for " Bandit " you need to be relatively fast when entering the "secret code" (Up, Left, Down, Left, Grab). It only worked for me when I was fast and attempted from the bottom right corner of the grid.

[maticraft777]

so good
