Later Alligator - Achievement Guide

  Intro

• None of the achievements in this game are permanently missable.
• There are three endings to the game, and you'll unlock them one after the other as you meet more alligators and find more puzzle pieces across multiple playthroughs. They build on one another, rather than being contradictory, so there's no risk of missing anything.

General

• I wrote this guide before the December 15th 2023 release of version 1.1.2. That patch put more items into the game, fixed a scenario that made the game unwinnable, and gave you more hints about the puzzles, but it shouldn't have changed how the endings are achieved.
  
• This guide should help you get all the achievements and see all the endings. I haven't explained how to get through the dungeons because the developers have provided a full guide for that here.
• I've noted where to find items in town or from the Golden Maidens/townsfolk, but not every item you can find in the dungeons. 
• You'll be able to get most of the achievements in one playthrough. You'll need two playthroughs to get all of them because maxing out your relationship with one person isn't compatible with keeping all three relationships high enough to see all the endings.
• Except for on Monday, Muffy will be be spying on you from a random place in town when she demands food. There's an achievement for successfully bribing her all week.
• Successfully bribing Muffy lowers suspicion. If you have to do a second playthrough anyway, try not bribing her to make it easier to die from high suspicion.
• If you miss two dates in a row with either Freya, Lebkuchen, or Rozenmarine, that girl will no longer be available. To see all the endings in one playthrough, you'll need to alternate your dates so no one is neglected.
• You should receive a heart piece on each date. If you don't, reload and choose to answer the question differently. If you have 5 heart pieces with someone, you'll receive a symbol of her affection which can be used to obtain specific endings. You'll need 4 heart pieces by Friday to achieve the 5th on Saturday.

Achievements

Of the 40 achievements:

• 13 are received automatically, at specific plot points. (13/40)
• 12 are ending related. (25/40)

• 4 are work/tiffle related. (32/40)
• 1 for bringing Rozenmarine to work.
• 1 for getting S-rank on all jobs. Bringing Rozenmarine will make this easier, so it will turning your framerate down a bit. Other than that, it's just practice. You can play the minigames over and over on Saturday if necessary. 
• 1 achievement if you don't bring Rozenmarine to work and then successfully divert the villager's suspicions at the end of the day. 
• 1 for spending 500 tiffle. You can farm tiffle on Saturday if you haven't achieved this by then.

• 1 for achieving one heart with someone.
• 1 for five hearts.

• 1 for achieving all the other achievements. (40/40)
