Hardest achievement of the set	The Best Ending All at Once

This is a great point & click adventure with multiple endings. It has a beautiful story about the balance of nature, friendship, and the meaning of love. As Kyle, you will go on a quest to defeat Groaker, a frog turned evil by his thirst for power, and put an end to the havoc he's been wreaking in Ripple Island. A pretty girl named Cal will soon join your adventure, during which you will also meet (and feed) a lot of quirky animals.

There are a few odd puzzles, and it is not always clear what one is supposed to do, mostly because the game is not dishing out hints when you talk to characters and inspect items. This guide is meant to be an efficient way to master the set, as well as a reference for whoever gets stuck. Two full playthroughs are required, of which one must be done in a single session and without using the password system, plus an additional partial playthrough to tie up some loose ends.

If you find typos, discrepancies, or way to improve this guide, feel free to reach out to @Snorkimon on RetroAchievements, on Discord, or here on GitHub.

For each area, I provide a full map consisting of transition screens (unnumbered) and key screens. The latter are where some action must be performed, and they are numbered in the order they are first visited. Screen 0 is the location we start from. We can travel from one screen to the next only if they are connected by an arrow, which indicates the direction of movement. Screens with a red border become accessible only after specific actions are performed.

Show/Hide Map

1. MOVE left to screen 1. There, TAKE the Pebble on the left and TAKE the Paper Bag on the right. Then, TAKE the empty can in the middle bottom part of the screen. This is not an inventory item, but it will trigger the appearance of a mouse, who will give you the squid Tentacle. Now MOVE to screen 2 and USE the Paper Bag on the guard to scare him off. The following achievement will unlock:

   

   Not the most Reliable of Guards (2)
   Outsmart the guard with your resources.
   

2. MOVE to screen 3 and PUSH the frog on the left pillar to open the gate. It will stay open from now on, so you don't have to do this every time. MOVE up all the way to screen 4 and USE the Pebble on the back wall on the left edge of the screen. The guard will move away for a bit and you will automatically collect the Key. Now, MOVE to screen 5 and GIVE the Tentacle to the tanuki, who will tell you how to defeat the armadillo upstairs. But we can't do that yet. MOVE to screen 7 and USE the Key on the lock on the door. MOVE up to screen 8 and TAKE the bottle of Alcohol from the shelf on the right. MOVE back to screen 9 and GIVE the _Alcohol to the tanuki to obtain the Spear and unlock the following achievement:

   

   Get a Raccoon Drunk (2)
   Find some liquor and bring it to the tanuki.
   

3. MOVE to screen 9 to meet the frogs. Now that we are in possession of the Spear we look dangerous enough to be sent straight to jail (screen 10). There, MOVE to screen 10 and PUSH the man sitting on the floor, who is the brother of the girl we met at the beginning of Area 5. Then, MOVE back to screen 9 and TALK. The other prisoners will help you escape, triggering the following achievement:

   

   Prison Break (2)
   Bust out of the jail and back to freedom.
   

4. You will find yourself in screen 6. MOVE to screen 12, where two items will have appeared. TAKE the Cloths Pin and TAKE the Laundry. The latter is not needed to complete the game, but it must be collected to unlock the following (missable) achievement:

   

   Collect All Items in Area 5 (5)
   Gather all the items you can find in Area 5.
   

5. MOVE to screen 5 and TALK, so that the tanuki gives you another Spear. Then, MOVE to screen 13 and USE the Spear on the armadillo to make him curl up. USE the Spear on him three more times, until his little tail sticks out. Then, USE the Clothes Pin on the armadillo's tail to defeat him and trigger the final sequence of the game, along with the following achievement:

   

   Watch your Tail (2)
   Beat the mighty armadillo.
   

6. After defeating Groaker, you will meet Princess Nasarell as a frog. Having collected all pieces of the sacred treasure, you will be able to restore her to her human form. This happens automatically and the following achievement will unlock:

   

   Wow you look Different (2)
   Restore the princess.
   

7. ⚠️ Danger Zone. When King Dotella asks you to marry the princess, make sure to select Refuse. This will trigger the True Ending of the game and the following achievement:

   

   The Best Ending (10)
   Get the true ending.
   

   If your playthrough was done in a single session and without using the password option, the following achievement will unlock as well:

   

   The Best Ending All at Once (25)
   Get the best ending in one session, do not enter the password screen or you will be locked out of the achievement.
   

The goal of this second full run is to reach the Happy Ending and set up shortcuts for the partial playthrough needed to mop up the rest of the achievements. Proceed as described below.

1. Complete Area 1 and Area 2 in the same way as in the Main Playthrough.

2. Go through Area 3 as in the Main Playthrough, but with two differences:

   • You can start from Step 2 (no need to get lost in the snow again!)
   • ⚠️ Danger Zone. This is important: before triggering the avalanche in screen 8, select the PASSWORD option from the menu and write down the current password, which I will refer to as 📝 Password-Area3. Then proceed to complete the area as before, collecting the second piece of the sacred treasure from the mountain.

3. Go through Area 4 as in the Main Playthrough, but when you reach the ship in screen 8, use again the PASSWORD option and write down the current password. I will refer to this one as 📝 Password-Area4. Then proceed to complete the area as before, choosing to fight Groaker.

4. Complete Area 5 as before (actually, you can avoid picking up the laundry this time!), but when the king asks you to marry the princess, choose Accept. This will trigger the Happy Ending and the following achievement will unlock:

   

   Married into Royalty (10)
   Marry the princess.
   

We will now make two partial runs to unlock the remaining achievements. One is very short: starting from the end of Area 4, we only need to trigger the ending in which Kyle and Cal run away. The other run is longer, but we only need to fully complete the last two areas, starting from the end of Area 3. So, let's get started.

1. Select the PASSWORD option and insert the 📝 Password-Area4 obtained in the Second Playthrough. You will be in screen 8 of Area 4, in front of the broken ship. Complete the area as in the Main Playthrough, but this time accept Cal's offer to run away with her. This will end the game and trigger the following achievement:

   

   Happily Ever After (5)
   Escape from your issues and live the good life.
   

2. After a reset, select the PASSWORD option and insert the 📝 Password-Area3 obtained in the Second Playthrough. You will be in screen 8 of Area 3. Here, trigger the avalanche as before, but do not move this time. You will complete the area after running away from a snowball, and the following achievement will unlock:

   

   Where did that Snowball come from? (3)
   Fail to escape the avalanche.
   

3. Complete Area 4 and Area 5 as in the Main Playthrough. But this time, without all pieces of the sacred treasure, you won't be able to restore the princess to her human form and you will be forced to marry her, thereby unlocking the following achievement:

   

   When the Princess Remained a Frog (10)
   Marry the frog princess and live happily ever after?
