Introduction
I'll keep this as simplistic as possible:



I did the thing.

I started writing this 10 minutes after finishing, so now I'm going to break down the how-to's for those that still need assistance.



Before that, please ensure you review the disclaimer below.

Okay you were warned.

Proceed


1. Platinum Acorn


Beginning at the end.
As listed above, just do all the other steps and you're golden.

Moving on...


2. Top Secret Snack
Now the real beginning:

You get this in the first room at the start of the game.
Just solve the puzzle, get the acorn, and enjoy the deepthroat animation.

A piece of advice for this room that the game didn't do well to explain here:

You can't climb the wall, but you can throw the hatch at the buttons.

Just tear it off the floor by the door, aim and toss at each button to the lower the barrier.

I wouldn't be putting this here if the initial tutorial was very explanative.


3. Reach for the Sky!
There's random citizens that will come up to you.
They see you as a squirrel...
They want to mug you.
So what do you do?


  • Step #1: Wrist control

    Establish control by climbing up and grasping their wrist.
    Once you've secured their wrist and cannot escape, it's time for step #2.



  • Step #2: Pull out your gun.

    It is imperative to stop your mugger citizen from mugging you at all cost.

    Any firearm will do: pistol, revolver, uzi, shotgun, sniper rifle, m32 rotary grenade launcher, etc.

    These muggers will drop their contents as they have conceded to your self-defense and will flee from you, leaving said goods (acorns) behind.



  • For more information on self-defense tactics, see the following link:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2REG3-Wb5gM


...but seriously, just walk up and aim at a citizen.
Keep aiming until the achievement pops (usually when they run away).


4. Crime Wave
Sounds like a lot of muggers need wrist control...

Just do #3 twenty times.
The Steam tracker is working so you can check your progress there
in real time.

A bit of advise here: once you mug a person, they will continue to be terrified of you
and will not reset until you've died
you can jump into spicy house lava or just die fighting an agent

or zoned into a new area.
e.g going to Father's tunnel, inside the Doll House, inside Agent Tower

Dying will not always be the most consistent to force this reset,
and in any case you will get this just by playing the game over time.

Alternatively, if you just want to grind this out,
you could try saving at a bird feeder and reload save. It should hopefully still track it as new.

I haven't experimented with it but I feel, following goat simulator logic, the world should reset.
5. Photogenic
Like with #4, you can get this by just playing the game or grinding it out.



Walk up to a citizen,

see if they do a "OMFG HE LOOKS SO CUTE" face at you, with the hand grasp/head tilt.

If they do that, move on to the neck schmuck.



This is RNG, and annoying RNG at that.

When you come up to one and they start patting themselves,
YOU GOT ONE!

Now just sit and wait for them to complete the action.

You'll know when they've dropped their acorns that your job is done.



Note: People who you prompt to get their phones out will keep holding them after this is done.

Sometimes, if you leave the immediate vicinity (do not zone out, die, or load save) then you can come back and get them to take another picture.

It worked for me a couple times.

Just make sure you don't scare them with fighting or counter-muggings, because then they will just keep running from you and you'll need to reset the area again or move on depending on world progression.
6. Phone Thief
Remember the gullible schmucks from #5?

Now we're going to put that wrist control to work.



  • Step #1: Find a schmuck
    Look at him, trying to mug you of your image.
    You remember your training right?



  • Step #2: Wrist Control
    You've got the image mugger right where you want him.
    Only this time, we don't need our gun...


  • Step #3 SNAP HIS ******* NECK
    You've stopped your would-be image mugger and disarmed him of his weapon.
    Now is the time to act!



  • Step #4: Jack His Phone and Book it!
    ...

    RUN, SQUIRREL, RUN!


7. Superhero Landing

This one is straightforward:

  • Go on top of a flagpole, or any high enough structure, and jump off.
    -

  • Right before you hit the ground, hit the jump button.
    -


    Voila~


8. John, Loo, and Dunny

This one is easy:

Sit in this one
It's out next to the minefield near where you come out of the manhole.


Then go to this house:
Explore around till you find a hallway, it's the door on the right.


You will find the second toilet:
Hop down inside and make your way out of the puzzle (pink means destroy by explosive).


The third toilet requires beating Father.
You'll need need to make your way to the Western setting with the saloon.
Now head left and back behind the guy above.


Find the outhouse and sit inside the hole:
-

Done, and ready to go right into #9.


9. I'm an Oil Squirrel


There's grenades inside the saloon.
Beat up the cowboys and bring one over to the outhouse.


Now,

you have a grenade...
and a hole...


I'll let you figure out what to do from here.


Don't forget to bathe in the crude.


10. Yippie-Ki-Yay, Mother-Nutter!

You're going to get this by just playing the game.

However, you can grind this during the Father boss fight.

The agents will keep respawning if you dodge Father and don't attack him yet.



There are other locations as well:

- Before Mother in the Tower,

- Outside the tower (respawn and repeat),

- in the town surrounding the grenade launcher,

- etc.



Counter goes up when they fall over and expel acorns.

They can be a bit buggy where they ragdoll but will get back up after 5 or so seconds.



Happy Hunting


11. Joy Ride


You get this while progressing in the game.


Need to unlock this to reach Father
...and run down that JOGGING BI-


Save some nuts.


12. Nautical Squirrel

You get this while progressing in the game.

Needed for reaching the Water Park, Agent Tower, and Mother.

Can be unlocked after Father.


Save more nuts.


13. Flying Squirrel

You get this while progressing in the game.

You won't unlock this until you open the Agent Tower at the end of the game.

You will need this to face off with Mother.
and you can also use it to run down that JOGGING BI-



Save ALL THE NUTS!





14. Anti-Tank Rodent

Get the car, go to the car garage entrance towards the back of the town,
defeat the gauntlet run, and you'll be at Father.

I'm not going to release pics or break down the boss fight too too much.

But I will be saying give you some tips and hints to do this fight:

  • The fight isn't hard.

  • You can outrun the gunfire of the tank.

  • The front grill of the tank is removable.

  • Oh look I can reload under the tank...

  • You can gain access to the grenade launcher here.

  • Why the tires green? Can they change color?!?

  • I wonder why there's so many grenades in the back of the tank?!?

  • Oh look, the hatch is open...and it's an open hole near the grenades...


Have fun~


15. Rocket Flying Squirrel

Really only time to do this is in the late game
at the water park on either side of the tower.
There will be two short, destructible guard towers
with agents wielding rocket launchers.


They'll fire at you.

When they do, a small circle will appear on the missile.

You can do the matrix slowdown after they're fired to make this easier.

Once they are close to you, a circle will appear,
right click (or whatever the pick up button is on controller)
and the game will zoom in and show you the tutorial prompt.

Get on the missile.


16. Close Shave
I'm splitting this and the citizen achievement up in the order
because you cannot interact with the citizens using the quad-copter until the post-game.

Inside the tower, when you first gain access to the quad-copter,
you will ascend up and fight a lot of agents.

Simply descend on each of their heads and buzz them with the rotors.

Trust me, there's enough in this tower to shave them down.

Otherwise, you will get access to the quad-copter post-game in the world.



17. Action Button Hero
And now we're at the "hardest" achievement in the game.

Only reason it's hard is because of how missable it can be,
and the setup needed to complete it.

These are the 9 takedown animations:

  • Unarmed Takedown
    Get an agent kneeling after dealing damage, drop your held weapon and perform the prompt.

  • Neck Break
    This is the only takedown you perform by climbing an agent or citizen up their back and pressing the prompt when you read their neck.

  • Pistol
    It's the first gun. It's not hard to figure out.

  • SMG
    Second gun. Same same.

  • Shotgun
    Be careful to only damage the enemy to make them prone. You can one-shot them if struck dead-on.

  • Revolver

  • Grenade Launcher
    Another to be careful on for fear of one-shotting. If you can down an agent with a pistol/SMG,
    and swap weapons its easier.

  • Sniper Rifle
    2-shot body, one-shot head. A single body shot will down a base agent (don't go for the colorful suits guys they're too inconsistent and have higher health).

  • Rocket Launcher
    Here's the annoying part. Rocket one-shots all of the agents.You should definitely get a weaker gun and prone an agent, preferably an isolated one otherwise they will mess up your setup.


18. Anti-Aircraft Rodent
As was with Father, I'm not spoiling the entire Mother fight.

Here's some hints:

  • It's obviously a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ helicopter fight.

  • Chopper Rotors, Tank Wheels, and Green.

  • You're not hitting the chopper with the rocket launcher nor the grenade launcher.

  • Sniper = SMG > Rocket Launcher = Grenade Launcher, for Agents (chopper eats booms).

  • Chopper Bullet Speed = Tank Bullet Speed

  • WHY IS THERE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LAVA IN THE SKY?!?!?



~Enjoy~


19. Street Credits

This SHOULD be the second-to-last before Platinum Acorn,
but i digress:


You need a perfect score of 128/128.

You have an Uzi.

You have infinite ammo.

You don't need to reload.

You're shooting the credits.

They will ALWAYS come right at you while you're on a quad-copter ride on rails (no control).





~Have Fun~


20. Shavior

We're finally here.

This achievement is blocked
until after you beat the game,
because you cannot unlock the quad-copter
for the open world until after the credits.

It's not cheap either, so make sure you stocked up on acorns when fighting the agents in the tower ascent.

Otherwise, wrist control those muggers, snap those agents, and farm farm farm.

After that...


~Have fun~


Conclusion
Hope this helped.

Hope you enjoyed the bits.

btw you can just use the quad from the pool, no need to get all 49 golden acorns... just hold C when getting on to avoid the load zone

Boss this is the most funny walkthrough I saw.

P.S. you can ride even the final boss rocket by jumping on them somehow. Done it accidentřly
Sypz2552 14 Sep, 2024 @ 3:15am

Chan  [author] 14 Sep, 2024 @ 2:53am 
I believe so, just need to face and beat Mother again. Should really put the Credits in the main menu like a lot of games do after completion.
DPTecas 13 Sep, 2024 @ 4:11pm 
Is it possible to replay the credits mini game?
xcorvis 8 Sep, 2024 @ 2:14pm
