Shay Act 2
While this trophy is based on an unmissable storyline event, it is perfectly possible not to complete this puzzle correctly on your first attempt, therefore the trophy itself is missable.
In the process of retrieving one of the ship's parts, Shay must rescue Brother Lightbeard who is stuck on a cloud. After this has been completed, Shay needs to tell a joke to the Talking Tree to get the Talking Fish to drop from his branches.
Subjects that upset the tree, such as saws, stumps, lumberjacks and Christmas trees, must be avoided. The perfect joke has three parts. The four conversation options that the game presents to players are randomly generated, but you will always get one of the following three great jokes:
Joke 1
• What's the smallest full-grown tree you ever heard of?
• I've seen one no bigger than my hand.
• A Palm Tree.
Joke 2
• Did you hear about the First National Tree Bank?
• It closed down!
• Don't worry. It just started a new branch.
Joke 3
• Say, do you know Ol' Pete the Pine Tree?
• Well, I hear he got in some really big trouble.
• It seems he was being... really knotty.
Once you have finished telling the joke, you will get the trophy.

You can get this when playing as Shay in Act 2.
When Shay meets the talking tree for the first time, he won't be able to tell joke and get this achievement yet. After progressing through the story, a fish toy drops from the cloud and gets stuck on one of the tree branches. Shay needs to get that fish toy from the tree by successfully telling a joke. This achievement is missable in that you have to succeed in your first attempt. So do the manual save before attempting it.
You should know when the attempt to tell the joke starts when Shay says "Hey, want to hear a joke?". After that, you are given various conversion options. Now for the first part, look for the one that match conversation option that I have underlined (see below). You also need to choose two more conversion options to complete this.
Joke 1
• "What's the smallest full-grown tree you ever heard of?"
• "I've seen one no bigger than my hand."
• "A Palm Tree."
Joke 2
• "Did you hear about the First National Tree Bank?"
• "It closed down!"
• "Don't worry. It just started a new branch."
Joke 3
• "Say, do you know Ol' Pete the Pine Tree?"
• "Well, I hear he got in some really big trouble."
• "It seems he was being... really knotty."

In Shay Act 2 after solving the Knot Puzzle, return to the tree to see a fish plaque in its branches. Now make a manual save. Talk to the tree about the plaque and then ask if it wants to hear a joke. You have to get the joke correct on your first attempt for the trophy.
The joke combination I got was: "Did you hear about the first national tree bank?" "It Closed Down" and then "Don't worry it just opened a new branch". If you don't get this particular option, you can try to get the correct joke yourself and if not, just reload the game and try again.

Shay - Act Two
- RANDOM PUZZLE -
You need to speak to the tree for this and talk until you get the option to ask about and for the fish. Now you neet to tell it a joke funny enough to make it laugh in one try (manual save before you talk to the tree). I have two jokes that work so hopefully you can use or you can reload to use one of them (dialogue is longer in game).
Joke one:
" hear about the first tree bank "
"it closed down "
" start of new branch "
Joke two:
" Ol' pete the pine "
" got into a bit of trouble "
" seems was a bit really knotty "

The trophy is easy to miss. You will have this moment in the plot, but for the trophy you need to pass it the first time, so save before doing this.
After solving the knot puzzle, go to the tree and talk to it about the fish stuck in the branches. Offer to tell him a joke. Next, you need to tell a three-sentence joke from random combinations. Below are some examples (you can reload the game until one of the options appears in the dialogue options):

A variant of the third joke can also begin not with the president of the chipmunks, but with some friend of the Tree (Phil it seems), we also choose - in trouble- knotty
