As you play the game, you'll get most achievements quite easily, and some achievements have quite good descriptions that will help you to get them, but some are quite hard to get or well hidden. This guide tries to help you get the ones you are missing. Since this game is fresh, some methods might be unoptimal. Feel free to post improvements if you find some.

This guide should now contain all of the relevant info and a bit more, unless someone finds some other pictures that were not that straight forward while getting other achievements, or exact triggers for where they are still bit unclear.

Oh and for fastest navigation you can utilize " ctrl + f " search function if you know the name for what you are missing.


--- On This Guide you will find the following ---

- Achievement descriptions -
+ how to get them individually and some trigger information
++ Including Art Connoisseur for following:
+++ page 7, 1st picture (#37)
+++ page 7, 2nd picture (# 38)
+++ page 9, 5th picture (# 53)
+++ page 9, 6th picture (# 54)

- Day by day guide for Best run -
+ how to extend it so you'll get the rest of the missing achievements

- Mechanics for Endless Challenge mode -
+ list of every prefix combination

- Ending scene info and speculations -
+ Trigger estimates


--- My to do list ---
- spell check and clarify
- rewrite this starting chapter and short description
- add methods to any new pictures that other players have missed
- updating theories for ending phase triggers or any other triggers when new one rises

These are so simple that you probably already got these and if not, vanilla description is good.

____________

How to challenge mode:

Every time someone orders a drink, press esc and asses situation.
(time won't drain when in esc)

In the start they will order things in order ( 1st, 2nd, 3rd )

At some point they will order things in order ( 2nd, 3rd, 1st )
-They may also order with only 2 ingredients then use ( 2nd, 1st, 1st )

Then they'll order drinks by name. Use the same guide as for master brewer ( Brewpad guide Linked in the segment below )
-If they order Latte it's ( 1st, milk, milk )

Then they'll start to use parameters: warm, cool, sweet, bitter with following prefixes

For ( harder ) parameter ones, use the list at the end of this guide. " ctrl + f " search function is your best buddy on that list, especially when there is 3 requirements for a drink. ( and especially when you have " sweet, bitter " pair to look for )

If you can't find the solution just serve something wrong and get new order. It's not a big deal to get 1 or 2 orders wrong.

BTW
That list has only one drink for every possible prefix combination,
There are more ways than shown one to get some of those combinations.

Cat Shelter:
Reunite Tofu with his owner
//
You'll need to experience most of the endings, not including ancestor, after that during day 15 end you'll get this. You might or might not face empty before the right scene, it depends how you played.
You can experience this scene only once per save.


Master Brewer:
Unlock all special drinks
//
go to endless and free brew to fill the missing ones after good run(s).
Following guide for missing drinks, please note that some drinks are story locked.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2965113931


Art Connoisseur:
Unlock all the artworks in the Gallery
//
Sounds simple but it ain't, go to extras and gallery to see your progress.

- You'll get most of these just by playing through all the achievement endings.

- You'll probably miss page 9, 5th picture (# 53), you'll need to get Lua and Bailey good ending, while also having normal ending for Hyde ( for example fail Hydes drink on day 6 and day 9 on otherwise good run ).

- If you miss page 9, 6th picture (# 54), be sure to play Lua and Bailey good ending, while also having good ending for Hyde.

- If you miss page 7, 2nd picture (# 38), meet conditions for " budding partnership " and visit day 14 ( might need to complete that day, but not sure ), it is in " phone - tomodachi app - stories tab ", you should still get the unlock without looking your phone.
If the above didn't work for you, then you could try to fail Rachel on top of that.

- If you miss page 7, 1st picture (#37), meet conditions for " The Hibiscus & The Butterfly " and visit day 14 ( might need to complete that day, but not sure ), it is in " phone - tomodachi app - stories tab ", you should still get the unlock without looking your phone.

- If you miss any others, make sure to fully play all bad/normal, good and best endings and their day 15 video, or post question to comments and i'll have a look at it.

This section contains a lot of speculative info, so take it with a grain of salt.

There are 5 ending phases and you can only progress forward. If you miss one of them then tough luck, you'll need to make a new save. ( If such, in options change " skip dialogue " from " read " to " all ", it'll speed you up. )

If you have conflicting or more accurate information, please share it in the comments, i'll consider updating this when new info appears.

So i'v just simplified eurogaming's guide for more compact form then I also modified few segments. to offer better drink or to be more informative. link for the original guide is in credits section at the very end of this guide.

Day 2 // Sep. 20th

Day 15 // Oct. 3rd


____________
___ Quick run extender to get other achievements from this point


- Continue from above run

- Replay days 4 and 13 until you have unlocked full album ( 8 new songs ), in one of these day 4's give Fidget spinner to Riona, on last run make sure to leave right drinks and items to everyone.

- Open phone's music player and click on every song

- Days you'll need to replay: 6, 7, 9 to 11 and 13 to 15. Bellow you can see what needs to be done on each day. ( If playing these in row, DO NOT replay day 8 as for some reason you'll be missing the lighter. But if you want to replay it, then reload the day from calendar to get that lighter back. )

----- Replay days 6 and 9, serve wrong drinks to Hyde

----- Replay day 7, forget to give agent id to silver, then replay day 11

----- Replay day 10, serve wrong drink to Riona, the replay day 13.

----- Optional: Replay day 12, ( need only if missing " Unsolicited Bouncer " ), forget to give wedding invitation to Gala, no need to play till the end can jump immediately after getting the unlock.

----- Replay day 14, then replay day 15

- Replay whole game where you do the bad run, meaning that you serve all drinks wrong and don't give any items. Milk and Espresso are your friends in this run, just remember to read what they want to not accidentally give them the right drink.

- Now you should have cat shelter and art connoisseur.

- And then just finish stranglers: thrash 25 drinks, 1h latte art ( afk ), unlock all drinks, endless challenge

Sorry for lack of commas on recipes, hit char limit :(
Legend: cinna = cinnamon // blue = blue pea // green = green tea // hibis = hibiscus

.

Some last words from me:

So i accidentally turned this thing into a monster of an guide. This was just supposed to be a simple and quick guide on how to get the stickiest achievement, but then additions just kept on coming to my mind so obviously i had to add them and now... yeah...

I'm not sure how clear it is that this is actually first time ever i made a guide. There were surely some mistakes or things i could have done better from the start instead of fixing it when this guide started to grow.

Would i do such be all end all guide again, probably not, but who knows what happens when next time i'm among the first ones to have enough info on some brand new game for such guide. Or maybe i can stick to simpler guide next time. So i'm looking at you, N1RV Ann-A, will you be my next target...

Aaand before somebody asks, hands down worst segment to make was that endless combinations bracket. But now it's critical part of this guide, right,...

I hope this guide was helpful to you, and i thank you for using it.
