How to unlock the Don't Fill Up On Fortune Cookies achievement in The Cave - Definitive Guide

Easy, but time consuming. This achievement can be gotten in the Hillbilly's puzzle, but in multiple visits. In order to get this, every one of the seven characters has had to be at least once at Xavetar, the fortune teller. (he is on the top right and pops up either a red or a green light)

In order to get this most quickly, you can take two characters with you (the Hillbilly has to be part of the group, obviously), solve the puzzle just as to the point as to getting the fortune teller to work. Then have your two characters (seperately) stand in front of him and press cn_X. After you've done this with these two characters, save and quit the game. Start a new game! (the game saves the process of these achievements) Now take two other characters and repeat the process until everyone has had his fate told by the fortune teller. (don't forget the Hillbilly himself!)

Note: As stated by Master AO, you cannot use the fortune teller anymore once you've completed the Wheel of Misfortune puzzle!

You should add that once you've completed the Wheel of Misfortune puzzle that you can no longer use the Fortune Teller. I had to Dashboard....

Didn´t work for me. Could you help me with more details please? For example: I take the battery and go to the xavetar, then i change to another character and move also to the xavetar. Then i change to the first character and put the battery in. After that i press "x" to activate the xavetar´s speaking. I get the color and then i start the wheel with the third character. Or do i have to press "x" twice at the xavetar (for everyone of the two characters stand in front of the xavetar)?

Tried it again with three runs to that position, then pressing "x" for every character and saving after that. Got the achievement now. Thanks.

@MQ1 Sky Warrior , thanks for that ^^^. I was wondering the very thing. It's in the above solution, but for some reason was not clear to me.

To work on this even faster (if this is your last achievement for example) remember to bring the fuse to the carnival. It saves some time.

Sorry to sound daft, but bring the fuse from where? I do not remember my first play-through well enough. Getting ready to start #2, with new characters, so I would definitely like to play smart. Thanks

[edit] OK, I thought about this, still haven't played, but I'm thinking one you use the fuse, you can bring it with, as it does not have to stay in the same place. Hopefully this is correct. Well I'll know when I get back there.

For this trophy you must do three playthroughs with the Hillbilly as you must use all 7 characters at the carnival (The hillbilly challenge area).

When at the carnival, after activating the Fortune teller with the fuse box, have each of your characters speak with the fortune teller box. Use a different two characters each playthrough to minimize time spent.
i.e. (Hillbilly, Twins, Adventurer/ Hillbilly, Knight, monk/ Hillbilly, Scientist, Time Traveller)

Unfortunately, you do have to then complete the playthrough for it to count.

This must be done BEFORE using the wheel of misfortune as it will then be unusable.

Maybe im a little late for this achievement, but i will tell you guys what i did: Start a new game, choose the 3 characters, but first pick any other one (for example: the scientist), then the Hillbilly and finally other character.
Hillbilly has to be the second one you choose, because if you do that, your first level based puzzle (after the gift shop and the mines) will be the carnival. You save more time, keep restarting and changing characters until you get the achievement.

i am sorry to say, if you have the knight AND the hillbilly in your party, the knight trial will start first. other than that, the hillbillys trial will always start before the second generic puzzle.

Order of picking has nothing to do with it. Puzzle locations (order in which you go through them) is set. They always happen in the same order and are at the same place.

This trophy is a bit of a pain, as it requires three playthroughs with the Hillbilly. In the Carnival, you will come to a section where you must use Xavetar the Fortune Teller to solve the “Wheel of Misfortune” puzzle. Once you put the Fuse in the Fuse Box next to Xavetar, his booth will light up. If you press in front of him with a certain character, he will say a prophetic line about them. You must do this with all 7 characters, so as you can only take 2 at a time with the Hillbilly, you must do 3 playthroughs.

One very important thing to note is that you must speak to Xavetar with every character before obtaining the Carnival Ticket from the Wheel of Misfortune. If you get the ticket, his booth will be closed and he won’t say anything, forcing you to either quit to XMB and re-do the whole Carnival section again or do a whole new playthrough.

Required: Everyone and (at least) three playthroughs
When you're at the Carnival make sure to visit Xavetar's booth with every character. When the seventh gets their fortune this achievement will unlock.

Warning! As noted by luke391 if you solve the Wheel of Misfortune then Xavetar's booth will deactivate. Get those fortunes before solving the puzzles!

You need to go up with all the characters and tell XAVETAR’s fortune, but you don’t need to go through the game completely. It is enough to first approach with the first three characters (you should always take the hillbilly), tell your fortune by everyone in turn and leave with the save. Next, we start a new game and go through the following characters.

You must guess at the machine before receiving a ticket from the Wheel of Misfortune (a riddle with the color of the wheel sector).

To optimize the process of completing the game and receiving this trophy, you can use the game guide .
