How to unlock the Fine, I Won't Open It achievement in The Messenger - Definitive Guide

When you first gain access to the shop, you'll notice a cupboard on the far left which you can interact with by pressing "up".

Once you first interact with this the shopkeeper will keep telling you to stop and threatens to monologue if you carry on.

Continuously interact with this until he finally starts to talk about what happiness is. (There will be several long text boxes that you cant skip through).

After he's finished his story the achievement should then pop.

I can also confirm this one does not unlock in New Game+. If you miss this one in your first playthrough, you must start a simple "New Game" to get it and not New Game+.

Once you've entered Autumn Hills, you'll fight some enemies along the first area and then drop down to the bottom of a pit and enter the other worldly shop. Once inside, go to the cabinet on the left and interact with it 16 times to get the shop keeper to bore you with his lecture.


You can activate cabinet rant #1 during almost any section of the game, except for three points in the game. Cabinet rant #1 does not activate if you're in the shop just before summoning the Tower of Time, or the shop after defeating Barma'thazël, as those points in the game are reserved for cabinet rant #2 and cabinet rant #3. *Note* The cabinet completely disappears if you have collected 1 Music Note on Version 1.0.4 update or later.

This is the 1st of 3 lectures. The cabinet is on the far left of the shop.

The first portal you come across is the first shopkeeper. Behind the shopkeeper is a cabinet go up to the cabinet and hit up on the d-pad. Shopkeeper will ask you not to open the cabinet. Just keep trying to open the cabinet until the shopkeeper tells you his backstory. Listen to backstory and the cheapest should pop up. Here's a video courtesy of the realm games and toys.

Missable

The first missable trophy related to the shopkeeper.

If you followed the roadmap, you know what to do but I will explain again:
  • The first time you meet the shopkeeper, simply try to open the cabinet
  • Do this until he starts talking about philosophical topics
  • At the end of the speech, the trophy will unlock.

MISSABLE TROPHY!!!
As soon as we enter the shop, we run to open the closet. We are waiting for the tirade.
(In the future, according to the story, the closet will become inaccessible)

Try opening the closet over and over again.

This is literally the very first portal you find on your way to Autumn Hills. By then you will have about 42 yellow pebbles.
Go into the shop and poke into the closet until you win.
