How to unlock the Chef achievement in Day of the Tentacle Remastered - Definitive Guide
First of all you have to use the PC in Ed's Room (They guy with the stamp book) to play Maniac Mansion, which you can find with Bernard going upstairs. When the Game starts, pick Dave, Razor and Syd. (it's important to use those characters, I'll explain at the end why)
When the game starts go to left with Dave to the front door of the house. Pull the mat to find a key underneath, pick it up and use it to open the door. As you enter you see a door right next to the clock, open it. You are in the kitchen now, as you go a little further to the right you will meet Edna and get captured by her at the fridge (this is necessary).
Once you are in the Dungeon switch to Razor (with the New Kid command), go to the front door again and enter the kitchen (Edna is gone now) go further to the right, open the door and you will enter a dining room ignore the meat on the table and go to the right again to find another door. You are now in the storage room the only thing you need to pick up here are the fruit drinks (they are in the bottom left of the shelf). Leave the room the way you came from. Back to the entrance where the clock was. Now go up the stairs and to the room to the left. You will find an artist room. Pick up the bowl of wax fruit. Leave that room again and go through the security door in the middle. You will be in a hallway with a statue to the left. Go right to the stairs and further up. You'll now meet green tentacle which wants to be fed, give him the bowl of wax fruit and afterwards the fruit drinks and he will let you pass. Go to the left and up the stairs again, enter the first door you see and wait in there.
ALSO IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are not familiar with Maniac Mansion and all the rooms you will probably take a while, if you ever get a cutscene where Ed says he is getting hungry, stay away from the stairs and the kitchen for a while.
Okay now for the tricky part!
Switch to Syd outside and let him go to the front door outside. In the middle of the left door is a doorbell, ring it! Change back to Razor again and wait for about 10 seconds before you leave the room (otherwise Ed will catch you) enter the third door from the left, and you will find Ed's hamster, take it quickly and go back to the room where you were hiding: (You will see a cutscene in between where Ed will answer the door and tell Syd to go). Also it's important that you wait at least a minute in your hiding room when you saw that cutscene! otherwise there is a big chance Ed will catch you on his way upstairs. Now the last few steps after you were waiting in that room, go back down with Razor all the way to the kitchen. Open the microwave, use the hamster, close the microwave and turn it on. "DING" achievement unlocked!
Side Note: Those characters were chosen because of their traits, for example Bernard can't get past Green tentacle because he is scared of him and can't give him any food. Razor is also one of the characters that can kill the hamster, other characters refuse to do this action. You are also able to get by Green Tentacle to feed him the Cheese, Lettuce, Rotten turkey, rotten ham, ketchup, canned food and tentacle chow (which all can be found in the fridge, dining room and storage) and then give him the fruit drinks however this takes much longer and Ed will probably get hungry. I'm writing this to give you another chance if razor get's captured by any chance. Because Syd is also able to microwave the hamster.
Maniac Mansion has freaked me out since the 90’s :D
Not all kids will microwave the hamster, only Syd and Razor will do it.
i did it with Razor and didn't know that only two kids would do it till i found this youtube video .
You first need to select some characters. Some characters have a much too good conscience to kill the hamster, so not all characters work for this.
I chose Bernard and Syd.
After the game started, take Syd and go to the front door of the mansion.
Pull the door mat to reveal the front door key and unlock the front door with it.
Enter the mansion, and before you enter the first door next to the clock, read the next sentence, as you need to be prepared to run away in the opposite direction!
CAREFULLY walk through the kitchen, and let the scrolling screen catch up (do NOT click past the kitchen sink), because as soon as you can see nurse Edna standing in front of the fridge, run in the opposite direction out of the kitchen.
Enter the kitchen again, go all the way through and enter the next room. Go past the large dining table and into the next room. On the shelf you will find some fruit juices. Pick them up.
Return through the dining room and the kitchen and go upstairs.
Before going through the security door, head left and go into the painting room. Pick up the bowl of wax fruits. Go back to the security door and go through it.
Now be careful. Eventually a cut scene shows Weird Ed Edison getting hungry and leaving his room. Find the nearest safe room to enter and wait until you see him reach the kitchen.
Otherwise he'll meet you on the way down to the kitchen and lock you up in the dungeon.
After the security door, go right and up the stairs. You will meet Green Tentacle. Give it the wax fruits, then the fruit juice and it'll let you pass.
Go upstairs again, and go into the fourth door into the room with the sarcophagus and the training machine.
Switch to a "New kid" and let that kid go to the front door.
On the left door is a door bell. Ring that door bell, and Weird Ed will go down to check the door.
After you've seen him leave his room, wait for about five seconds, go out the training room and into the next room on the left into Ed's room.
Pick up his hamster and return to the training room.
Wait for the cut scene where Ed reaches the front door and scolds the kid outside, and then wait again about 30 seconds to make sure Ed has returned to his room.
With Syd and the hamster, go down to the kitchen, open the microwave oven, use the hamster in the microwave oven and close the microwave.
Turn the microwave on and wait a few seconds for the achievement to pop.
This one is located in the Maniac Mansion game in Weird Ed's room, and requires a bit of playing of the original game. You will need to play through about ten minutes of Maniac Mansion – this involves getting the wax fruit and fruit drinks to give to Green Tentacle, tricking Weird Ed out of his room so you can grab the hamster, and finally putting it in the microwave.
The only characters in Maniac Mansion who are able to microwave the hamster are Razor and Syd, so you will need to choose one of them at the title screen and make sure they don't get caught (which even this early on in Maniac Mansion is still a possibility).
