How to unlock the How I Got my Shrunken Head achievement in Goosebumps: The Game - Definitive Guide

Edit: Since the Oct. 25th '15 update the solution doesn't work anymore. You need to deal with the three Ghost Kids to unlock the final puzzle piece (gargoyle saliva, can be found in the parents bedroom) needed to complete the Shrinking Room puzzle (use it on the green slime). (credit goes to ChampionOfLight)

Before you head to the attic you need to go to the basement first. There you have to collect a stepladder (can be found in the closet in the basement) and a toolbox with a screwdriver (on the workbench). To reach the attic head upstairs from the main entrance, continue on the right-hand side and go through the door in front of you. Place the stepladder on the floor and use the screwdriver on the pipe next to you. The pipe will break und unleash green slime that prevents you from getting crushed to death. Now pull down the ladder from the attic hatch and climb up (use the cn_up up-button on the D-Pad to do so).

Try using the up-button on the D-Pad instead of clicking on the ladder. This happened to me as well sometimes.

That's weird. What happens if you try to enter the attic without breaking the pipe first?

Same. I get crushed. I've tried every combination of when to break the pipe, and how to go to the attic. Reinstalled the game and deleted save files and I still can't get it to work.

I am having the same issue as minioger. Restarted the game reinstalled the game and nothing cannot get past this.

Sorry to hear that. And if you follow a video walkthrough click-by-click, e.g. this one:

https://youtu.be/ygEG5UF9sho?t=2m14s

you get crushed as well?

There seem to be more people in the comments section of the video who have the same problem. Some say it works by using the D-Pad (like TheTailsEffect reported) and others say that they can't get it no matter what they do and say that there was an update to the game that caused this issue. Did any of you notice a title update for Goosebumps?

Yep followed the vid still dead. There seems to be quite a few on various videos saying they have patched it and broken it. I am sure i had an update on sunday which could well explain it.

Thanks for the info. If there is no workaround I think we should email the developers -> support@game-mill.com

That's actually the e-mail for the publisher is it not? I thought the developer was support@wayforward.com Or just send the info to both...lol. That's what I'll likely do.

This solution is incorrect - the solution to the puzzle is NOT using the D-pad. That was an exploit that has now been fixed. You need to deal with the three Ghost Kids to obtain the final puzzle piece needed to complete the Shrinking Room puzzle. Any walkthrough that has the player using D-pad UP to enter while the room still has a danger in it is inadvertently using an exploit.

@ChampionOfLight Thanks for letting us know. I wasn't aware that you're supposed to solve the puzzle differently. When I played the game only one of the ghost kids dropped an item (photo paper), the others simply disappeared once I met the requirements (removed plate from clock and let the boy listen to music). Was there anything changed with the ghost kids then? Do they drop a specific item you need to use at the attic or do you simply have to make all three of them disappear and head to the attic afterwards?

Each time a Ghost leaves you can enter a new area that they've locked up. So when the first one disappears you get access to the Basement. The second one allows you entrance to the guest room/bed room (where you can also enter a bathroom between the two rooms) and the final Ghost Kid lets you in your parents bed room (where you later collect the Birth Certificate). There is a substance you need to collect in your parents bedroom to be able to actually solve the puzzle in the shrinking room so before dealing with all three ghosts - you were not meant to have access to the attic.

The attic can be accessed from the top door on the right side of the upstairs hallway in the house. Before you go there, make sure you have the screwdriver (from the toolbox in the basement), the stepladder (from the closet in the basement) and the gargoyle saliva (gotten from the window in the upstairs master bedroom; store it in the empty container found in the photo development room).

Use the screwdriver on the pipe to summon the Monster Blood then use the gargoyle saliva to solidify it. Now lower the stepladder to reach the hatch, then open the hatch and pull down the ladder to climb up into the attic.

Solution: we put a stepladder (taken from the basement), open the hatch, use a screwdriver to break the pipe on the right, a green liquid pours out of it, now we use a bottle on this liquid (taken from the room for developing photographs), into which we first collect gargoyle saliva from the window of the parents’ bedroom (location will become available after we make the average ghost-music lover happy - see achievement The Ghost Next Door ), the green liquid is cemented - we can climb into the attic. Achievochka!
