FOREWARD
Thanks for choosing this guide! This is my first guide, so I hope it's useful! If you have any feedback, be sure to let me know in the comments.

I'll try to keep the guide as spoiler-free as possible. This guide will instruct you on the best path to get all achievements using multiple saves to accomplish all paths needed. You can do them one by one, or all at the same time, it doesn't make a difference.

Upon release, the achievement Thinkpiece was bugged and unobtainable, but that has since been fixed. It's also been confirmed that Vet Tech needs specific timing, so be sure to follow that carefully!
BEFORE YOU START
This walkthrough requires a total of three different saves over the course of the game to get every achievement, including an imported save from Hiveswap: Act 1.

To import your save, you must have Hiveswap: Act 1 installed on your computer and a completed version of the game. For an ending achievement, you MUST have taken the batteries from the remote in Hiveswap: Act 1 and finished the game with them in your inventory. If you do not have that, it is recommended that you do that now.

There are two achievements that you will need two complete saves for. One will complete the entire game without any bad ends. The other will complete the entire game with all the bad ends. It is important not to mix these up otherwise you will have to reload an earlier save.



When you start the game, make two saves files with your imported save. Label one of them "Zebruh" and one of them "Pog Run". The reason for this will be clear later!

It is recommended that you save you game at the start of every new area once you get to the station with the Run name (Pog, Zebruh, etc) and the area name (Station, Lowblood Car, Midblood car, etc). This will help you greatly if you need to redo an area.
PART ONE: BEFORE THE TRAIN
Import your save from Act 1.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: COMMUNITY MAESTRO


An easy achievement to immediately get out of the way: Select the hint option.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: HELP


Keep mashing the hint option.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: HELP


Keeeeep mashing it. This took me maybe ten minutes.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: HeLP!!!!!




Talk to the two burgundies standing in front of the Cafe. Select either dialogue option, then enter the Cafe.



Pog Run

Go to the river. Click on the option SWIM. Click on it again and choose SWIM once more. Then confirm your decision.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: GONE SWIMMING



Both Runs

Click on the pile of trash, then enter the cave.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE CAVE AGAIN, click on all the following items (and do both options for the ones that give them to you):

Junk near entrance, junk up small stairs, string lights, wet canvas, arm statue, mothergrub, mushrooms under mothergrub, orange horn like protrusion growing from pillar behind mothergrub.

See pictures for specifics.







Now that you've successfully rummaged through everything....

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: CAVE EXPLORER



Exit the cave. Click on the pile of trash again. Enter the cave once more, then walk all the way to the right and the back.

In the new area, walk all the way to the right, click to leave, and select the exit option.



Pog Run

Select the exit option once more.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: FORESTRY.



Both Runs

Go to the hive and click on the door. Select 'Go In'. Switch to Xefros, select your telekinesis, then select the door.

To get the achievement Homebreaker, you must interact with everything in the hive. You have to do both the Look and the Interact options for all things that give you the option (minus the front door, which is just look).

See the chart for all things to interact with.




Hopefully they won't mind.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: HOUSEBREAKER



Use Xefros' telekinesis on the bee book. Switch to Joey and read the book.

Select the bee dance, use it on the bee.

Option one: Cones!

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: TRAFFIC CONE COSTUME



Option two: Corns!

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: CORNUCOPIA DISGUISE



This is a purely cosmetic choice. I recommend keeping one type of horn for your Zebruh Route, and one type of horn for your Pog Run, this will help differentiate them.



Use the bee dance on the bee again and play the minigame that follows.

Leave the hive, then the area.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: JUST IN TIME
PART TWO: THE TRAIN STATION
Go to the ticket machine and use it. Then go all the way to the right and to the next platform.

This is where multiple saves really start coming into play as there are a lot of achievements that depend on this. I'll try to make this as easy to follow as possible.



Zebruh Run

This is the save where you need Zebruh on the train. There are three different ways you can do this, each of which give an achievement. The easiest method is to do the following:

First, talk to Zebruh twice, Elwurd three times, Chixie once, and Marvus twice. Talk to Chixie again. Select the option to talk her out of it. Talk to her again. She will refuse to talk further after that. Keep clicking on her to get an achievement.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: GROUPIE



Save your game.

Talk to Zebruh. Tell him "Maybe Not". Talk to him again. Tell him about Chixie.

Talk to Chixie.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: MEAN



Load your Zebruh Save.

Talk to Elwurd. Tell her about Chixie.

Talk to Chixie.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: TOUGH LOVE

Turn down the deal.




Load your Zebruh Save.

Talk to Xefros. Talk to Chixie. Switch to Xefros and give Chixie the mic.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: NEXT TIME MAYBE



Talk to Elwurd. Agree to the deal.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: SHADY DEALS

Leave the station and save your game.



BRANCH: CHIXIE

This is the run where you need Chixie on the train. Load your Pog Run and save it in a new slot as Chixie.

Talk to Zebruh twice. Talk to Marvus. Talk to Elwurd twice.

Talk to Zebruh. Agree to get him an autograph. Talk to Marvus. Talk to Zebruh again. Talk to Marvus once more. Talk to Zebruh (again).

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: A FIRE MIXTAPE



Talk to Zebruh. Switch to Xefros and give him the mic.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: STAR POWER



Talk to Elwurd. Agree to the deal.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: SHADY DEALS


Leave the station and save your game.



Pog Run


This is the run where you keep your pogs.

First, talk to Zebruh twice, Elwurd three times, Chixie once, and Marvus twice.

Talk to Zebruh. Agree to get him an autograph. Talk to Marvus. Talk to Zebruh again. Talk to Marvus once more. Talk to Zebruh (again).

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: A FIRE MIXTAPE



Talk to Zebruh. Switch to Xefros and give him the mic.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: STAR POWER



Talk to Chixie. Select to talk her out of it. Talk to Chixie again. Talk to Xefros. Talk to Chixie once more.

Talk to Marvus and tell him about Chixie. Talk to Chixie.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: ULTIMATE COLLAB



Keep clicking on Marvus to unlock another achievement.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: CLOWNFXXKER


Leave the station and save your game.
PART THREE: LOWBLOOD AND MIDBLOOD CARS
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: DO OR DIE


It is recommended that you save at the beginning of every car, for every run. I personally title mine "Pog Run Lowblood, Pog Run Midblood, etc, etc". You will also probably want to delete the many autosaves that you will acquire to keep your list tidy. You don't have to do this, but if you need to go back for any reason this will make it easy.

Also it will help you not accidentally save over the wrong file.



All Saves

Go all the way to the left and talk to Skylla. Ask what's wrong with her Lusus. Go all the way to the right. Talk to Marsti. Select either dialogue option.



Chixie Save

Talk to Skylla again. Give Skylla the medicine bag from Joey's inventory.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: VET TECH



Talk to every interactable character in the car. (Skylla, Chixie, Vikare, Diemen, and Marsti.)

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: STANDING ROOM ONLY


(This is the end of the Chixie Save).



Pog Run and Zebruh

Talk to Marsti again. Leave the lowblood car.


Talk to everyone in the car. (Kuprum & Folkyl, Cirava (acquiring their Chittr handle in the process), Polypa, Boldir, Azdaja & Konyyl.)

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: ECONOMY CLASS



Talk to Polypa again, then Kuprum & Folkyl. Talk to Azdaja & Konyyl again. Talk to them again to Strife.

With Xefros, use the bat on Azdaja. Switch to Joey and use any attack.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: X GON GIVE IT TO YA


Leave the Midblood car.
PART FOUR: JADE & TEAL CAR
Go to the right and try to leave. Talk to Marvus.

When talking to everyone, exhaust all conversation topics unless otherwise noted (meaning that they only give you the same line if you click on them when you're finished).

Talk to Bronya, Wanshi, Lynera, Darya, and Lanque.

Try to open the lockers on the left. Talk to Bronya to get the key. Open the lockers again.

Rummage through the top left, bottom left, bottom middle right, top middle right, and top right.

Talk to Stelsa, Tirona, Tagora, and Tegiri. Tegiri will act like he has nothing to say, talk to him multiple times to hear everything. Talk to Tyzias, but don't ask to start the trial.

Go to the bathroom on the left side and click on the grub (near the top of the bathroom, it looks like a purple worm). Use nail file on grub. Talk to Tagora again, then once more. You'll lose the spice.


Pog Run

Talk to Tagora twice more to give up your Pogs and your Batteries.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: SYLLADEX SPRING CLEANING


Both Runs

Talk to Bonya, then Tyzias again. you have given up your pogs and batteries, she will prompt you to start the trial. If you have not done so, she will ask if you want to start and proclaim that you "may be missing something". If this is your Zebruh Run, select to start anyway. If this is your Pog Run, go check to make sure you've talked to Tagora three times.


**TRIAL START**

Pog Run side note: To get all bad ends, during Tirona's, Bronya's, Tegiri's, and Lynera's testimonies you need to present three wrong pieces of evidence to get each one of their game over screens. You only need to get the game over screen once per character, not for each of their testimonies. Do not do this in your Zebruh run.

Pog Run

You will need to divide this run into two saves, Bad End and Pog Run. The best time to do this is during Tegiri's second testimony.

Corrections:
The bathroom is on the right side of the jade/teal car, not the left.
During the trial, it's not 3 wrong pieces of evidence to get the bad ends, it's 9.
The exit on the indigo car is on the right side, not the left.
mllfond 10. Jan. 2021 um 17:09 
i only did one save at a time (so i couldnt mix them up) but i replayed it the same way and got the achievement so not sure what happened there ,,but i got the achievement so all is good :]]
1000SunnyShips  [Autor] 9. Jan. 2021 um 11:33 
Hm that's definitely weird. Is it is possible you mixed up saves somehow? When writing this guide I removed all achievements and got them all as I went through it.
mllfond 27. Dez. 2020 um 13:47 
same, i did everything but i didnt get the born to die achievement (didn't do a run for never be game over yet)
techtonicCleaver 10. Dez. 2020 um 17:25 
i didn't get NEVER BE GAME OVER either wth
techtonicCleaver 9. Dez. 2020 um 15:36 
i did all of this but didn't get the Born to Die achievement :(
1000SunnyShips  [Autor] 7. Dez. 2020 um 11:45 
That's definitely a good idea, I'll add that in!
Jake the Human 6. Dez. 2020 um 1:47 
I think it should be put a bit more strongly that in the tealblood car, you HAVE to choose "you know what's really going on" the INSTANT it appears, because it won't show up in a dialogue box ever again and you'll miss Detrainestation and by extension invalidate the entire Bad End Run?

Because that just blew ten hours of my play time for one mistake. That is not a negotiable or negligible detail and it's a lot more important than pronouns.
1000SunnyShips  [Autor] 1. Dez. 2020 um 9:49 
Ty for the help! I tested Vet Tech and since it looks like it does indeed work with an imported save I've cleaned up the walkthrough a bit. I didn't know that about Cirava, I've got their pronouns corrected, and adjusted the wording of the trial bad end information so hopefully it's clearer, as well as adding that missing instruction. Let me know if I missed anything else!
Lebbi 30. Nov. 2020 um 18:53 
It's worth mentioning that Cirava is canonically non-binary, and they shouldn't be referred to with he/him pronouns.
