How to unlock the Cell-ebration! achievement in King's Quest - Definitive Guide
MISSABLE
You need to escape the prison with no villagers being taken away. Mr. Fancycakes does not count as a villager so you don't need to worry about him. I found it easiest to work with the potion makers as you need one of their items to continue.
Day 1: Clean the 4 cobwebs and talk to every villager, then you will be forced to sleep.
Day 2: Eat the meat you are given. Lower the 2 drawbridges in-front of the caves. Retrieve the frog and obtain a fly. Obtain the pea from under the mattresses by tuning the music player to a lullaby. Grab the frying pan sword and give it to Amaya having her hit the coin goblin, you will be forced to sleep.
Day 3: Go buy the cure all from the merchant and give it to Bramble then feed the potion makers the meat. Give them the fly and use the growth potion on the vines on the 3rd floor. Sleep.
Day 4: Eat the meat. Open all 3 bolts on the contraption in your room and climb down to retrieve a gold coin. Climb the vines you used the growth potion on the previous day and grab the coin. Go to the Cinderella scene and use the growth potion where the shoe fell. Take the rose down to the potion makers and leave it in the water cauldron in their room. Sleep.
Day 5: Buy the porridge with 2 gold coins and give it to the potion makers so they are at full health. Give them the pea and the rose to obtain the bomb. Go to the Cinderella scene and retrieve the shoe and give it to the goblin with a broom. Use the bomb on the fireplace and retrieve the bolt cutters. Free the potion makers with the bolt cutters.
There are three people that count toward this achievement: the blacksmith, the bakers, and the potion makers. You'll need to ignore the unicorn to get this achievement, and he will lose all his health and be taken away - but he doesn't count.
There are some slight alterations to this order you could probably make, but the steps below will guarantee you the achievement:
- Day 1: No food available. Speak with each of your cellmates and clean all the cobwebs. You will be forced to sleep.
- Day 2: Feed yourself, and do everything you can that requires two strength. Lower the bridges, go get the frog and then the fly, and grab the sword. Have the blacksmith use the sword on the coin goblin. You will be forced to sleep.
- Day 3: Buy the Cure with the coin from the goblin and give it to the bakers. Feed the meat to the potion makers, then give them the fly to receive the weed grower. Use that on the vine on the third floor. Go to sleep.
- Day 4: Feed yourself, and do everything you can that requires three strength. Go inside the pipe in your cell to get a coin, and grab the coin at the top of the newly grown vine ladder on floor three, then go buy the last bowl of food. Go all the way to the furthest area on the third floor and interact with the Cinderella scene, then use the weed grower after the shoe falls. Grab the rose from the other section and bring it all the way to the vase at the bottom. Go to sleep.
- Day 5: Give the bowl of food to the potion makers (they should now be at full health). Give them the rose to receive the bomb. Go to the Cinderella scene and give the shoe to the step-sister. They will leave, allowing you to use the bomb on the fireplace. Go through the pipe to get the bolt cutters. Use the bolt cutters on the potion makers to escape.
If you accidentally give the bowl of food to the potion makers on Day 4, you can still salvage things. I did on accident (they had 3/6 health at the time so it was a waste of one health, and my bomb was confiscated since I got it before the shoe was available in the Cinderella scene and had to go to sleep to progress the weed growth). You'll have to manage everyone's health carefully, feed the rat to get an extra coin to buy the chopsticks to use as lockpicks to get your bomb out of storage, and THEN you can use it to get through the pipe to the bolt cutters and finish the escape. It takes a few extra days but you'll be fine. To be safe, just follow the steps above and you won't run into that issue like I did though!
