Duck 101
Thank you for checking out my guide. Please go easy on me, this is the first guide I have made. This should hopefully give you all the information you need to complete the game as we know it. The only thing not included are the special holiday ducks, but those are date-specific to collect so check out some of the other guides on how to find those ones.

What this Guide Includes
  • All ducks from the original Base Game, the 3 other Duck Adding DLCs, and the special area ducks from the Area DLCs
  • A list of recommendations for what ducks to have in the same pond. They may unlock extra content, achievements, or just do a fun little trick
  • A full comprehensive list of all achievements from the Base Game and all DLCs currently out
  • Multiplayer Tips
  • Full deep dive behind the secrets of the game, including what is behind the door in Infinity Cool and how to code the spaceship from Hippospace

IF YOU ARE JUST LOOKING FOR ACHIEVEMENTS I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE SELECTION BAR. There are a lot of ducks you will need to bypass

If there is content that I missed, please let me know! This is definitely going to be a work in progress so I would love your feedback

Get ducks FAST - Multiplayer
As is mentioned in several other guides, such as the one posted by lightwo (who did a fantastic job so please take a look at theirs as well), if you are trying to complete the game on a time crunch you might be able to do so by using multiplayer

How Multiplayer Helps
By joining another world, you should be able to collect the ducks already unlocked by the host player. The biggest downside is that this only works for the Infinity Cool area, but it can give you a good head start for the base game!

Please keep in mind that some achievements can only be collected by witnessing the event tied to them, so you may still need to hunt for those on your own

Secrets
If you have been playing this game and thought to yourself that you wished it had more horror elements behind a thickly veiled world of secrets and conspiracy, this section is for you.

Where to start
Your goals are simple. Find a secret code, rename some ducks, get into the basement, discover the horrors lurking just below,

Opening the Door
Step One
Enter the Quacking the Ice Area DLC. In the very back of the cabin you will find a pair of curtains that will slowly open to reveal a collection of paintings on the wall. To look closer, you can select each painting individually. While you are looking, on of the paintings will be replaced with a note covered in jumbled words and letters.

By hovering over the note you discover a series of numbers. I encourage you to find them yourself but if you don't own the Quacking the Ice Area DLC I will include it hidden down below. In order to fully solve the mystery, you will need all the maps eventually so I would recommend purchasing all of them if you want to see this through to the end

76 83 68 105 110 97

You may recognise these numbers as ASCII character codes. By searching up a table for ASCII translations, or by by skipping below, you can find that this spells out:

L S D i n a

Step Two
Go back to the Infinity Cool Area, and locate the Psychedelic Duck. It is the rarest one, classified as Epic, so this may take some time to spawn. Once you have it, rename it the name above. Quite fitting for this duck. You will now have two things

First, you will have the 1st half of the code. This is randomly generated, so I cannot list what it will be here. You will need to input the name to get it as listed above


Step Three
Second, you will now have access to the radio. while still in the Infinity Cool Area, find the radio and tune it until you find a station that is repeating Morse code.

The station is: 97.0 FM

Now listen carefully to the Morse code. It is one word, repeated three times very quickly. If you need a written version of what it spells out ill have it listed below

•••• • ⁃•• ⁃•⁃⁃ or in alphabetical terms, Hedy

Step Four
Like the first duck, you are now going to use that code to rename the Cartoon Duck with the new code you found. You will now have the final part of the code to get in the door

You will find the door in the far right corner of the house. Enter the code (1st are the numbers from the Psychedelic Duck, 2nd are the numbers from the Cartoon Duck.) You are now in.

Step Five
You must go below the surface. I will not discuss what is down there out of fear that the developers will come after me. The only things you must know are:Click the duck button on the security system, remember the dominoes, and drink the soda. But you will now know the truth. However, this is just the beginning. What comes next?


Accessing the Terminal
Step Six
Transfer over to the Hippospace Map. Wrapping around part of the map you will see a green tunnel that leads to a dome on the end. You will need to wait a while to continue, because there is a mechanical arm blocking where you need to go. It will move on its own and you can watch to see when this will happen about midway down the tube where there is a hole in its wall.

Step Seven
Once the arm retracts, select a duck just entering the tunnel as your POV. Once you reach the end of the tunnel via your duck, look for a large dashboard. On the dashboard you will find a button that launches a new Duck

When the new duck collides with astroduck, the screen will display its name. Using a pigpen cipher, you can decode the diagram. Below is an example of the pigpen cipher


The resulting code is written below. A way to confirm is checking the Astronaut Ducks suit, since it confirms the name

g.toto

Step Eight
You will now need to remember the dominoes from the Infinity Cool secret Area. On the dashboard you will see a grid of 12 filled with buttons that are yellow, green, and red. Ignoring the leftmost piece, enter the combination given by the dominoes and it will reveal a new key. This will serve as the password and is unique to your game, so you will need to complete all these steps to continue

The Domino order is


O O X....O O O....O O O
O O O....O O O....O O O
X O O....O O O....O O O

X O X....X O X....X O X
X O X....O X O....O X O
X O X....X O X....X O X

O O O....O O O....O O X
O O O....O O O....O X O
O O O....O O O....X O O

X represents button to press
O represents do not press


This will serve as the password and is unique to your game, so you will need to complete all these steps to continue.

Step Nine
Now it is time to find the Robot Duck launcher. You would have used it to to get the Pchooooooo! achievement. Enter in the Username g.toto and password (unique password from the dominoes)

You are now provided a command line interface. Your new task is to use code to discover the secrets hidden away in the database. If you are unfamiliar to code, don't panic. I will list everything you need below, simply type in what is listed in each box in order. For a command line manual, check out lightwo's Terminal secret Guide linked below. It is all thanks to them that I was able to figure this part out in the first place

Order
1) Open sounds directory
cd sounds dir

2) Play each sound in the directory and write the contents down
open 1.midi open 2.midi open 3.midi

3) Open the "forsaken folder" from the main directory
cd . . cd forsaken folder open texture.db

4) This will give you an error message, but don't worry! That is supposed to happen

5) Go back to the log directory and you will find a file that wasn't there before
cd . . cd log dir
error.log

6) Use the open command on the error file. This final code will be unique to your game as well
open error.log
-error.log- channel: GXX XGY YYG ZZZ 569 (This is my code as an example, yours will be unique to your game)

Step Ten
Time to assemble more code. Look back at the notes you took of the midi files. As complected as it looks, all you need to do is count how many notes G is in front of. For example, my code was

1.midi D-G-A#-C 2.midi F-D-A-C-A-G 3.midi D-A#-A-G-A#

If we look at the first Midi (1) as X, and the letter G was second in the list of notes, then we would fill in all "X" values with "2"
That would look like
G22 2GY YYG ZZZ 569

So continuing with 1=X, 2=Y, 3=Z, our code would look something like
G22 2G6 66G 444 569

Whatever you get by filling in your code in this way, simply name your Monitor duck that and select it. You will discover that it displays the path to a new file


Unveiling the Secret
Step Eleven
Go back to the terminal and you will find the new file under the system directory
cd . . cd sys dir

spawner.exe

Now it is time to excecute the code!
spawner.exe

You have now finished the code. Congratulations! What does it mean? For that, we will have to once again change to a different map.
Secrets Part 2
Going Down? Gain Access to the Elevator
Step One
Load in the Rooftop One Percent map. It doesn't particularly matter which set of ducks you load in for this map since you are able to unlock this secret as long as you have the base game and the Rooftop map. In this new map, there are lots of fun new details to see as you explore the penthouse office of a boss. Start off by taking the boss's seat and looking at their desk to see several papers they were reviewing. One page depicts the Fibonacci sequence and the other shows a current version of the periodic table. These give us a starting place for what to do next.

Step Two
As the periodic table suggests, we are going to need to utilize the element of Gold. We can do that by finding the gold duck among the original base ducks. It does not matter what map this duck is in; if you have a previous file saved, you can fast-track this step by going to that file and finding the golden duck. If not, load in the base game ducks to a level and wait until the gold duck spawns

Step Three
Remember the other paper? You are going to rename the golden duck to "Fibonacci", and it will reveal a five-digit code above the duck's head. The codes are once again unique to your game, but for demonstrative purposes, my code was 04122. Remember, you will need to find your own unique code for this puzzle!


Step Four
If you went to a different map to find the gold duck, head back to the Rooftop One Percent and go back to the desk. It's time to combine the clues with the code you just received. As you probably already know, the Fibonacci sequence is where each new number is a sum of the two numbers that proceeded it. The starting example of this would be 1 1 2 3 5 (1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, and so on). To get the next clue add the sequence to the code you just got from the gold duck. Using my code as an example (0 4 1 2 2 + 1 1 2 3 5 = 1 5 3 5 7) you will get a new code, or more precisely, a phone number. Dial this new number into the phone. If you are correct a fun noise will go off and you will now be able to use the up/down buttons beside the elevator. P.S, there are lots of other numbers you can dial with Easter Eggs, so try a few and see what happens!

Step Five
Since we have already seen what happens when the elevator goes up, you will want to click the down button. This will bring you to a secret room in the basement of the building. PLEASE NOTE: THIS ROOM HAS FLASHING LIGHTS. IF YOU HAVE A SENSITIVITY TO QUICKLY CHANGING LIGHTS, I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST DOING THIS. Inside the room is a series of lock boxes and a wall of keys.

Step Six
The "key" to the keys is from the Milk Duck that has the missing poster on it. The poster is dated 17-08-2022. So you will need to start by picking up key number 17 and placing it in the left keyhole of the box labelled 2022, then put the number 8 key in the right keyhole of the same box. If you got this right, the door will open and reveal... a soda can?

Step Seven
You are all done with the lock box room for now, so you can head back upstairs. Your prize is waiting on the table beside the outdoor seating area next to the pool, along with a highly distorted photograph of a group of people, marked with 7 X's on the base of the photo.

What does this mean, and how does it relate to the spaceship puzzle? Unfortunately, we are at another cliffhanger but hopefully not for long with this community of sleuths!

Thanks for the guide dawg, much appreciated. Will you consider updating it in due time to include the content in the Virtual Thermae DLC?

Thank you so much ArtynGamin! I am adding that in along with a shoutout to you for noticing it. If you see any more additions let me know!

would just like to add here that once you get the lockbox duck open with the code from beating the arcade duck, it opens a drawer with a *tiny* piece of paper that reads "NON MANCA MOLTO" and I can't see anyone else talking about that yet. No idea what it means or what it could possibly be for, but I wanted to mention it here because this whole guide has almost single-handedly (or wingedly?) gotten me through ALL these puzzles. I am not a smart man XD
