Episode 4 Achievement Guide
By Premier Rat
This is a guide on how to get all the achievements in episode 4. I will try to be light on spoilers but obviously you should complete episode 4 first. The formatting isn't great and there aren't any pictures so just ctrl+f for the achievement name. I put this together quickly after finally getting them all because there were a few I was stuck on.

To do this you need to find Stella which can be done in 4 ways.

2) Have talk to animals and ask the dog militia to sniff her out. They'll talk to you after the climax and lead you to her.
3) If you have a very high relationship with Stella she will call you (I have not personally experienced this but have been told it works).

Gretchen can also help you find Stella, even without Talk to Animals. I'm not 100% sure, but I think (since you can offend Gretchen in episode 1 by asking if bacon is bad for dogs, offend Frou-Frou by approaching her more than once, and befriend Dustin by putting clothes on top of him) I'm pretty sure those same options still affect your relationships with animals even when you can't talk to them. Gretchen led me to Stella in ep. 4 when I had talk to animals, and I did another playthrough with mystical and keen eye and got the same scene, minus the part of being able to ask Gretch what's wrong.

The Monster Lover achievement can also be gotten by having hot and flirting with Wayne while he walks you home from the clinic. You HAVE to have Hot in order to flirt with him, though.

4) According to the developers Gretchen can also help you find her but I do not know how.

I was playing as mystical/keen eye and despite not having developed much relationship with Stella, Gretchen found me after the ch4 climax. All I had to do was follow her to Stella.

For 'The Excavation of Oscar's Basement', it won't work if Rosalina's leg was crushed as Oscar won't permit you to go down there, because he's worried for her. Just a little amendment to add to the description.

You don't need Hot for Monster Lover. My character is strong and talk to animals, and it worked. You don't even have to calm Reese down. As long as you decide to romance him, it unlocks.
In my playthrough, my MC couldn't do anything but watch (or decide not to, but I didn't pick that) as Reese did what he did, but then when he transformed back I had the option to hold him tight, which started the romance.

Street Smart also works to get the Hackerman achievement.

Technically it doesn't matter whether you have streetsmart or not, even if you have streetsmart, if you drank tea previously you can't not drink the tea again. Streetsmart just allows you to be discreet at not drinking it. (note: streetsmart also allows the "hacker" achievement)

Keen Eye + Talk to Animals also works for the Dustin Quest achievement. Not sure if it's a bug or not as I didn't manage to open the greenhouse, but got the achievement anyway.

for the "Rodriguez the Rat" achievement I ended up knocking once, then the dialogue was giving me the choice of knocking again or just enter, I went in and got the achievement, of course Tabby still complained that I should knock first, so it may have been a bug.
