General Gameplay Tips
Tick's Tales is a point'n'click adventure game, that means you use your mouse for everything. Simpler than most games in the genre, there is no differentiation between actions you need to select in order to do them. That means "clicking" a thing will do whatever is intended to do with it automatically. All actions like talk to/take/give/use with are simplified, so whenever I refer to any of those actions, what I mean is: click it.

Some other helpful thoughts:
- ESC brings the game from fullscreen to windowed (fixed size).
- The game has multiple save game slots, and will make a new one whenever you hit the "Save" icon on the top right of the screen.
- Autosaves are also created in case the game crashed or you forgot to do it.
- A Chapter can be replayed by choosing it from the Title Screen after finishing it once.

4/11 Achievements are missable
7/11 Achievements are unlocked by playing through the story

Two new achievements were added: 'Mouthdiver' and 'Tonguesbane' (both without description).

If someone else has trouble with finding flies - you should receive them after giving the packed lunch to the bull

In the last part of the guide it says 'Use flies with flask' but from where i get the flies? i dont have any in my invetory

Thanks a lot for the guide. :)

@missiloon: regarding strength potion: do it either the way you describe (after retrieving the potion from the stash) or right before heading to the city gate, just when you read the note from Gandarf. I did it before the gate and the achievement triggered correctly.

Excellent guide. I would have definitely missed some of the non-story achievements without your help - thanks! :dale_pumpkin:

Would be appreciated if you marked which achievements are missable.

Finally changed that bit. Thanks guys!

For the lullaby achievement you need to use the note on yourself not on the cell window. This causes Tick to whistle the tune. That had me pretty confused for a while, thinking maybe the achievement was broken.

Thanks for the guide. I have two points to add:
- for the lullaby achievement you have to step back into your cell. Took me Some time to figure That out.
- I wasn't able to give the owl the strength potion when you mentoined in your guide because it was stolen from me. Maybe move That part to after you retrieve your items back?
