Very easy one - just wait until you have like one more object to clean at 99%. Close the game and reload the level and the gnome will be back on its spot on the roof. Then just clean the last object and you'll unlock the achievement.

I ended up completing the job with the gnome knocked off and loaded the job back up in free play, and for some reason, it unlocked

I wish I realized I could've exited & reloaded. I ended up using the scaffolding & a ladder to get the gnome back on the roof after I knocked it off.

I just want to make sure before I do this achievement, it's for the Monks Temple right? Not the other one?

How are you suppose to get him back up top when for whatever reason you can't jump while holding the gnome??? Really losing my patience with this one 😩

@UrgedDark Raven, just close the game and resume the level. The gnome will be back at the top. I just did this 5 minutes ago

I tried this after I stupidly moved and dropped the gnome at the last minute. Reloaded the game and gnome was atop the tower when I finished the level but the achievement didn't unlock.

Was actually very easy. Place the ladder from the roof to the top part. Then rotate the scaffolding in a corner to where you can almost fall onto the roof. I did it at the left rear. Carried the gnome all the way and placed him as he was laying down.

You don’t need to fully close the game. If you have another career job available like I did, jump into that one then right back into the temple level. Gnome will be back in place.

I completed level, closed game, but when I went to open it again to get gnome reset, the game had advanced to next level.

As I said in the original solution 'before you complete.' If everything is clean this will not work.

“ ensure the gnome is on the tower roof once the job is complete”
This is what made me think I had to complete the job then place the gnome. Thanks

Just pick up the gnome once you finished cleaning. Use ladders to get back to the very top. Achievement will pop while you still have gnome in your hand.

First, completely clean the very top portion, where the gnome is standing. You can knock him off to clean it. You want to do this to make sure that you do not knock him off in the future. Once you have cleaned the top portion only, save and load a different area (if in freeplay then career or if in career then freeplay), then load back into this level. The gnome will then be reset to the top and you can clean everything else.

Think this level might be glitched.
Have completed in friends campaign and in my own freeplay, without moving the gnome but still no achievement.
Have even noticed in the competition videos that the gnome isn’t showing at all

I think this achievement might be glitched by the April update for series X/S.
I haven't unlocked when I play on series X.
Retry on other xbox (day one), and finally unlocked.

The same glitch is happening in "Impeccable Balance" achievement.

I’ve had issues with two other achievements on series X so moved to the One and haven’t had any issues since. This one is next up for me so hopefully won’t have an issue.

If you can, I would recommend playing on a One. The loading times suck but I’d rather that than have to replay a huge level!

This one glitched as well, and that's a bummer since it only unlocks at the end of this huge level... I'll try on the OneX since people are reporting it works there.

Playing on the Xbox One worked for me. I also never moved the gnome and used soap around it on the roof.

I tried manually replacing the gnome on the roof before completing the level. It didn’t pop the achievement on Series X. Oh well.

Impeccable Balance, Watermelon Shot, and First Steps finally unlocked for me today after updating the game (still had to redo the activities), so I'm going to try this one now, along with finishing a random level to see if I can unlocked the Career Mode achievement.

This just straight up doesn't work. I completed the level twice. Once in career and once in free play. In career, I knocked the gnome off and then reloaded the level to respawn the gnome on top BEFORE finishing the level, no achievement. I then went back and did the level again in Free Play and managed to clean the entire Temple without ever moving the gnome at all, I was just super careful around it at the top, and when I completed the level, still no achievement.

This may work for those that think/it is bugged. I did this on Xbox One X. I knocked the gnome off when cleaning the tower roof, but made sure to replace it exactly where it was originally found (albeit not standing up this time)

If done correctly it should be on the "Roof Ridge"

While cleaning the temple there is a gnome all the way on the top. You need maake sure its still on the top when you are done cleaning.

I accidently knocked it off and it fell all the way to the bottom. Since you dont have to be precisely next to an object just try to find points that are low enough so you can grab the gnome and put it back up. Try this step by step. If you cant pick it up you have to get closer to the gnome. When all the way to top place it back on the top.

Watch it because the gnome. Unless you happen to pick it up and it can land on its feet. There is no way to rotate back afaik. Layingthe gnome flat on its face or back still triggers the achievement.

On the Temple level - which is basically a huge church - at the top there'll be a gnome, stood in the middle of the top beam right at the top. Basically complete the level with the gnome still up there. If you're careful, and using the spray of the wider nozzles to clear round his feet, and not directly spraying him, you should be alright. Word of advice: start at the top, be super careful and take your time as you use the roofs/scaffolding to clean around him. Once you've done that you can carry on with the rest of the level without a care in the world. Just make sure you don't inadvertently knock it off when you're cleaning the underside of a roof trim or something, as that'd just be plain devastating!

Now, you can probably knock it off and carry it back up, but 1) we didn't test that and can't verify it; and 2) it's easier to be careful around it than take the risk, but if you do knock it off accidentally, give this a try.

You don't need to worry about knocking the gnome off the roof, you just need to ensure he's on the roof when you hit 100% completion.

Method 1:
Be really carefull. Use a wide nozzle when cleaning by the gnome, and hope you don't knock him off.

Method 2 (when Method 1 fails)
Clean the roof without a care in the world. Complete all the tasks where you might come in to contact with the gnome:
- Barge Boards
- Eaves
- Figureheads
- Ledges
- Overhangs
- Roof Ridges
- Roofs
- Towers
- Wooden Trims
Pick the gnome up, and place him on the roof (or quit to the menu, close the game completely, start the game again and resume the job - gnome will be back on the roof)

Clean the rest of the temple, leaving the stairs till last. Once you have just the stairs left, check the little fella is still on the roof - if not, put him back. Then clean the stairs.

Easiest way to get this achievement is to just clean and don't mind the gnome. After you're done with the top, exit the game, restart it and reload the map. The gnome will be back on his initial spot on top of the temple and you can finish the remaining parts

Go through, not paying attention to the gnome, you can knock it down. Just before passing the level, leave 2-3 elements not cleared and re-enter the level, the gnome will appear in the required place, and all you have to do is finish the level

Either the trophy is buggy, or the method doesn’t work, or it just doesn’t count, I’m leaning towards the first one since pushing a ball out of a skate park doesn’t count either

Even if he flew off the roof before the last element, you can restart the mission and he will be restored on the roof, wash the last element and the trophy is yours
