Pin-Up Goal
I only read it for the articles.

Collect all 12 puzzle pieces without loading a save in between.

Edit: Try setting the games language to English if the guide won't work in your preferred language.

This achievement can be quite annoying to obtain, if you did not get it on your first run while collecting puzzle pieces. If you're having trouble getting it, this short guide will help you.

Basically, it's a comprehension of the tipps from this guide and several comments made in other discussions.

The issue is said to be fixed in one of the update-announcements, but it did not work for me.
I installed it this month (March, 2015), so it shoud've been the latest version at this time.
How to obtain the achievement
I am assuming, you already finished the game and got the cheater achievement or know, where to find the 12 pieces. If not, look up this guide for the locations (they are shown in the "Cheater"-section).

1. Disable synchronisation of the game with the steam cloud.
(Rightklick the game, select "properties", option is found within "updates"-tab)

2. Remove profile.dat
Go to the indicated directory.

On Windows-PCs press Win+R to open a dialogue-box.
Enter %LOCALAPPDATA% and hit enter.
(It's basically a shortcut, Microsoft's infopage[www.microsoft.com] about such variables, if you like to know more about that)

Remove the profile.dat-file located in the directory.
Either delete or put it somewhere else, if you're unsure.

Thanks to Desyon for adding, that "Deponia - The Complete Journey" uses another directory. I added those for convenience, too.

3. Get a save, where you didn't collect any pieces, yet.
I am not sure wether you need a save, which was saved prior to some fixes.
You can try using your own, but I went with one posted in the achievement guide.

EDIT 27.01.2017: Daedalic offerns save-games in their website. You might want to check those out, if you don't want to replay everything. http://www.daedalicsupport.com/de/savegames.html
(Thanks to Hobbitschlumpf)

If you want to make your own savegame, good strategy would be to clear everthing up until you get the invitation for lady goal. Do not give it to her, but finish everthing else in that part of the game. Do not pick up puzzle pieces yet and don't forget to save :)

4. Start the game an check the puzzle board.
The puzzle board has to be empty.
(Extras -> Puzzle)









5. Load save and collect all pieces in one session.
Do NOT doubleclick them!
This seems to cause problems. When you pick them up, they need to make a sound. One of them is said to be counted twice by the game if doubleclicked. This helps if you're going for the Cheater-Achievement, but it's no good with Pin-Up Goal.

If you did as suggested in step 3, you should collect 8/12 pieces immediately and then give lady-goal the invitation to finish the chapter.
The missing 4 can be collected as soon as you can travel with the boat.
Shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes if you skip through the dialogues.

6. Get the achievement
Assuming that nothing went wrong, the achievement should pop up shortly after fetching the last puzzle piece.

Savegame16 works perfectly fine for me. You just need to wait until Seagulls animation has finished, and then you can see some of the note's pixels.

Ah okay got it to pop, for anyone else that wants to try using Daedalics saves, savegame15 is the one you need, savegame16 starts off too far in cause Seagull blocks the piece on the salt shaker at the table Lady Goal and him sit at.

savegame40 or 41 for "Deponia The Complete Journey"

It's been ages since I played this game, so no guarantees I remember correctly. You'll want a savegame that's the furthest progressed but with access to the floating black market. I'd guess savegame15 or savegame16 might work.

which 0save file from daedalic is a good one to use?
SilberRegen  [author] 6 Jun, 2020 @ 2:28am 
Then don't, I guess.
