How to unlock the Missing King achievement in Telling Lies - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you just need to 'win' a game of solitaire. As the achievement description implies, the game is rigged but just continue as far as you can and you will find that a king is missing and you cannot complete all 4 piles. You will probably have to retry a couple times as you can get stuck and there is no undo or anything.

The first time I “completed” the game, I had the 7, 8 and 9 of diamonds missing. All Kings were present. The second time, it was a King that was missing and the achievement popped straight away. You just need patience (as we Brits call Solitaire).

Definitely a rough one for people who don't know solitaire, but shouldn't be an issue for those used to card games. I'm not even good at card games and I got it without too much difficulty.

It took me a good hour or two to unlock this with trial and error, it's possible if you've never played Solitaire before

Even knowing how to play solitaire, it took almost an hour to get it. Had 5 games where I was missing 2 kings, instead of just 1.

Multiple times had only one card not showing face value but the game isn't as smart as a user. You have to be able to play all the cards.

I thought I was the only one getting stuck a lot, it is very time consuming if you get a bad seed. Even in Windows I didn't have this trouble to complete at least one game. Had to reset it like 10 times.

I'd never played Solitaire when I attempted this. I read a short description of how to play online and was able to get it done in a little over an hour. It does take some luck but it's very doable regardless of your background in the game.

My biggest tip would be: if at any point you feel hopeless, go ahead and RESET (arrows at lower-right). It's much more efficient than trying to save the current game.

My first game I was missing a king and a 3, making it impossible to win despite clearing the board. This trend continued to happen. Solitaire games that are impossible to accomplish, instead of just requiring you to make correct first moves, are very uncool because probability wise you can keep getting them over and over again like I did. Very dumb achievement.

And this is coming from someone who just a few weeks ago 100%ed Microsoft Solitaire. So the people saying "this is easy if you know solitaire/spider" have no idea what they're talking about and probably had RNG on their side.

I have wasted 4 hours of my life on this and nope, I just always end up with impossible to progress deck. Note to self, never try to score any achievement like this.
Edit: Got it done finally at 7 hour mark, it needs lot of luck
few tips
1 Keep shuffling cards and don't start playing until you see at least 2 ace cards in ''7 column cards'' This gives you an easier start
2 Don't just look at next card but try to connect cards that are close enough
example, you have 10 of red in 1 column and 6 of red in another, while they aren't close you can still connect them. So don't just look for 9 and 5 but also try to see if you have 9 and 7 of black and 8 of red. If you do then you can connect these and reveal 1 more hidden card.
3 Once 3 kings and 4 queens are revealed and you have placed 3 kings in columns and then 3 queens on top, make sure that 4th queen is in stock cards above and not on top of hidden card in column cards. This is because 4th king is missing, so you will not be able to move this 4th queen card, effectively locking the hidden cards under this card. At this point chances of solving are very low, you should just restart.
4 You can also use foundation cards again (4 cards at top right where you are solving your cards). Don't be afraid of bringing these cards back in to game, remember your first objective is to reveal all hidden cards, you do that and you will win. So if it helps to move cards around and reveal 1 more hidden card by using foundation pile then you should.

If you don't know the rules of Solitaire I found this video really helpful:


Only difference is this deck in the game has 3 kings and not 4, but same tips apply.

Biggest tips I got from this video were:

1. Go for short stacks on the field if a king is present.
2. Go for long stacks on the field if it is not.
3. Focus on the field first then the deck.

A few tips I would like to add:

  • Even if you know how to play solitaire, this version is really sensitive for user mistakes, compared to the Windows one. If you make a bad move, it almost guarantee a reset because there is no chance of reverse it. I would say is wiser to reset the game and try another run than trying to save the current one, as is more time consuming.
  • The best way I found to win is to first get the Aces and their "2" cards up in their slot. Cycle your deck looking for them, so you get a head start.
  • Now, for the rest of the game, before taking a card from your deck, make absolutely sure you cannot move the piles (e.g., reveal new ones by changing stacks) in the bottom. I cannot empathize how important this is. I lost 4 games because of laziness and thus ending hard-locked when I could reveal a new card instead of choosing the one from the deck of cards. The last time (when I won) I went full serious mode checking that everything from the piles are done (no useful movements to reveal cards) and then proceed to the deck.
  • If you want to return a card (i.e., borrow) from the Aces pile to the bottom make sure its your last option. You can get hard-locked trying to move a bottom pile so you reveal a new card and then cannot return said borrowed card to the Aces pile.
  • The game seems to give you the first three aces really easy and the last one burrowed deep on the bottom piles. Take that into account and don't expect to start finishing the Aces piles until you are almost done (in comparison, the Windows version is a bit more random and seems there is no bias towards receiving aces cards).

For this one you need to complete a game of solitaire. This is the card icon at the top left of the screen. This specific version is called Klondike. If you don't know how to play you basically want to get four piles from A-K (one for each suit) in the top right. Once you complete a game this will unlock.

While you can quickly restart Solitaire to earn Pointless Game trophy_bronze.png, you'll actually have to complete a hand to unlock this trophy. If you've never played before, the WikiHow guide is very thorough. 

Once you - technically - complete the game, the trophy will unlock.
