How to unlock the No way to treat an ancient manuscript achievement in The Little Acre - Definitive Guide

Big thanks to New Paralyzer for the help with this.

When you make it to the Dam, Nina will give you an objective to acquire a Cavity Magnetron.

1: Leave her office, walk all the way to the right and enter the elevator.

2: In the staff room, head back to the oven and interact with it to get the Cavity Magnetron.

3: Leave via the window again. Once outside, select it from your inventory, and use it with the glowing water beneath you.

Your achievement should now unlock.

I went through twice myself. Missed a bunch of achievements as I wasn't paying attention. At least it's short.

There should be a note about this being easily missable in the walk thru. What a PITA. Edit: nabbed it on a quick 2nd play thru. Thankfully this game is beautiful enough to make a 2nd run not nearly as annoying as I assumed it would be.

The guide really needs updating to make it clearer where you do this and that it is missable.

Add another person that missed it because the guide didn't call this out.

Doesn't the guide help you? From what I can remember, it happens as soon as you get to the Dam. Then just follow the guide as normal. Last played thisbon release, so my memory is limited on the game.

Yep, missed it too. I was even following a video guide and you get another achievement that is part of the story when you exit the window, so when I selected the megaton and tried to release it I thought that's what was unlocking.

Missed it too. The guide doesnt say before you go to ninas lab or anything so you assume you are just going back there and using it. It should say "exit the window" then "before going to ninas lab..."

Yeah, I also missed it whilst following the guide. Wasn't pointed out as missable or that you couldn't return there - 975G I guess. Still appreciate the guide, it's just a shame.

Yep, missed this too. The text of the achievement is lost in between the two giant achievement callouts and I didn't notice it until I was already back in the lab.

Showing my age here but so are the devs as the achievement name and what you have to do to unlock it is a clear nod to Broken Sword. one of the original and best point and click adventure games.

After Nina went off in her bike, you must go to the right. You will need to enter to the room of the yellow worker.

1. Scare the cat using your mask.
2. Pick the key on the ground and use it with the lock on the ventilation access in the right.
3. Use the lock to lock the door and open the ventilation access. The cat will attack the worker, so he will open the window.
4. Enter through the now open window and once inside the kitchen, exit through the window above the oven at the left.
5. Outside you will see a waterfall below you. Pick the feather the bird drops and use it with the cat to open the way at the right.
6. Enter to the first entrance. Is the Nina's laboratory.
7. Once she ask you for a magnetron, exit the lab and go to the elevator at the right.
8. Once you return to the kitchen of before, take the magnetron from the oven and exit through the window above again.
9. Once outside again, let other achievement pops, then select the magnetron from your inventory and throw it to the waterfall below you.

Then, the achievement must pop.

After grabbing the Cavity Magnetron from the Microwave Oven, leave through the window to be back on the ledge. Try to use the Cavity Magnetron on the spot over the water to trigger this.

MISSABLE

As Aiden, when you get the cavity magnetron from the microwave and are traversing the dam where the cat and the birds are, try dropping the item down the precipice. Aiden will not do it, but the trophy will unlock.

*MISSABLE*

Immediately after taking the cavity magnetron from the oven and hopping out the window, before you go right back to Nina, when you're still on the ledge, use the magnetron on the "big drop" at the bottom of the screen to unlock this achievement.

After you remove the resonator from the microwave and climb out the window, use the resonator on the waterfall.
