Once the shift is over, the game will auto-save as usual. If you don't want to play the game from beginning to end a ton of times to get all the achievements then you will need to make duplicates of your Saved Game file at various points along the way.

Make Duplicates of the Save File

• You need to know what game slot you were currently playing in. If this is you're first time playing, then you probably are playing in Save Slot A. You can check by going to the Select save game option and looking at the progress % listed under each save slot. If this is your first game, then 2 of the 3 slots will be empty.
  
• Quit the game
  
• Find the game in your Steam Library
  
• Right click on the Game Title
  
• Select MANAGE
  
• Select BROWSE LOCAL FILES
  
• The folder for the Lil' Guardsman game data will open
  
• Double-click on the folder LilGuardsman_Data
  
• Double-click on SaveData
  
• Find and delete the 2 empty save files
  
• Make 2 duplicates of the save file with your current game. Then rename the files so that you have the following.
  
  • savedata1.lg = Slot A
    
  • savedata2.lg = Slot B
    
  • savedata3.lg = Slot C
• You want 3 save files at this point. One for each of the 3 upcoming options as each have an achievement.

Reminder! If you are playing through for the first time, I recommend that you have 3 save game files that all start at this point in the game. There are 3 upcoming Choices and each has an achievement. If you don't make duplicates of the save file now, then you will need to play the game from the beginning in a new save slot until you get reach this point again...and then once more to get the 3rd achievement.

You get a lot of freedom of choice here.

Round One
Pick one of the following options:

• Favorite Ice Cream
  
• Perfect rescue?

Select any of the contestants for their answer. You can then ask a second contestant, if you want but it's not required.

After the recap of the people who visited the Guardshed , the Chronometer acts up.

The following isn't really a spoiler of anything that will effect the story... but it's still a fun scene to encounter in game for the first time.

The conversation that takes place only translates the first few lines in game. Here is the translation for the rest of the lines that you can click through. If you don't have to see all the conversation, select the Inventory Bag at any point and then click on the Chronometer to escape.

Hospes es in hoc regno. Attulistine dona solita? Hic requiritur immolatio hirci si mortem vitare velis.
You are a guest in this kingdom. Did you bring the usual gifts? Here the sacrifice of a goat is required if you wish to avoid death.

Quia puer es, non custoditus ab ira. Pauca tantum momenta habes antequam te consumam.
Because you are a child, not protected from anger. You only have a few moments before I finish you off.

Non iocari. Nunc facerem aliquid, si essem tibi. Ego sum daemon et genus meum cisio ad similes homines inopes necabo.
Not kidding. I would do anything right now if I were you. I am a demon and my kind of gig is to kill poor people like that.

Num incipiam de decem antequam te interficiam? Sic, bene. Decem, novem, octo, septem…
Shall I begin with ten before I kill you? So, all right. Ten, nine, eight, seven…

Sex, quinque, quattuor, tres…
Six, five, four, three…

*sign* Duo et dimidium, duo, unum et dimidium, unus…
*sign* Two and a half, two, one and a half, one…

Gravissime non omnibus hoc facio. Hoc extremum fato est revertendi unde venistis.
I seriously don't do this to everyone. This is the final fate of returning from whence you came.

Ignosce, haedus
I’m sorry, kid.


Mortis
Death

A daemonio terribili caesus es.
You were killed by a terrible demon.

Iterum conare?
Try again?

Here is the translation of the follow up:

Daemon nonquam creaturam viderat sicut custos lil, qui passim coram eo illo die apparuit. Verbum non intellexit dicens, et tandem eam diu evanescere. Potuit sine omni experientia, si honesti sumus.
The demon had never seen a creature like the lil guardian who appeared sporadically before him that day. He did not understand the word he was saying, and at last, it disappeared for a long time. He could do it without any experience, if we're being honest. (I used Google Translate so apologies for the weirdness of this line. Please feel free to comment with a correction if you can translate it better.)

Ille diem asperum habebat et certe non melior factus est ab aliqua puella per intervalla interclusa, ut diem suum tenere posset. Nervi quorumdam.
He was having a rough day, and it certainly wasn't made any better by some girl interrupting him at intervals so he could get on with his day. Some nerves
If you haven’t already killed Lil, dying here will get you. the..

Oh my god, you killed Lil! You...
You encountered the first of many landmines in Lil' Guardsman. Good job!

END OF PART ONE

At this point the game begins to branch again. There are 4 possible paths that your options can take you down, and you need to go down them all if you want 100% of the Achievements. The game only has 3 save slots, so I saved the 4th duplicate to my desktop.


It's going to get very confusing and cramped if I try to fill all four paths on the same page so I'll be breaking things up.

Pinks

• 1 Truth Spray

Yellow

• Any remaining open slots. If you follow the guide then you won't need to use the last two tools but you may choose to use them when you have a free action slot and want to use it up.

For both paths, choose the following to ensure you win the battle:

Battle Won - By Land
Your draft choices led to victory in the land battle!

Pinks

• 1 Truth Spray

Yellow

• Any remaining open slots. If you follow the guide then you won't need to use the last two tools but you may choose to use them when you have a free action slot and want to use it up.

For both paths, choose the following to ensure you lose the battle:

Make any choices you want and then leave.

Enter the room, make any choices you want.

If you are on a path to win the war:
You need Fosse (Blowtorch from Level 2) in your inventory
OR
if you Sold Fosse, buy a new Blowtorch

If you are on a path to lose the war:
You don't need Fosse or a new Blowtorch

Chose whatever you want and send it.
Go to bed. (You can talk to the others in the bar before you "Hit the Hay" but if you talk to the Bookie next to the Jutebox, he'll tell you that your dad owes him money and then take said money from you.)

Click the "Battle" button and based off who you drafted or denied, you will either win or lose.
