How to unlock the Gardener achievement in Twelve Minutes - Definitive Guide

I want to give some clarification on this achievement:

-I would say the points of reference aren’t endings but specific time loops.

-You never have to touch the plant until you have completed the three loops.

-Each loop gives you another bud/flower.

-The loops are:
1. Betrayal -

2. Perfect Day -

3. Confession -


-The loops can be done in any order however I have numbered them in order of which is possible to achieve first to last.

-Once the loops are complete and you have all three buds/flowers you should water them with the mug.

-After each watering leave the apartment and reset the loop but be sure to look at the plant each time.

-The flowers may look fully blossomed after a few waterings however you may need to water them one last time to push the achievement to unlock.

*Note* - Do not continue the story once you have the main reveal as you may reset the loops.

Those are endings, not complete ones but only 3 of the 6 fully change your state for this achievement like stated in my guide

Why are you attacking someone for liking my solution? What’s with the accusations and profanity?

There are three endings, all of which lead to the credits followed by the main menu. I would consider anything else a time loop and I can assure you that there are more than six however I have specified the relevant three to complete the requirements for this achievement as well as several other precise details. I haven’t added any guess work or any irrelevant tasks.

If you did not find my solution helpful you are free to downvote it but please do not attack me or anyone else in the comments. Thank you.

@UsCanAdam Some good tips especially about getting the watch before your confession. I can’t tell you how many times I forgot it laugh

I'm a little confused about the last part of your explanation. It seems you're saying I can just water the flowers over and over after I've reached all those scenes. Water/reset/water/reset without making progress. Is this correct?

Yes, if you’ve done the loops you should have three buds/flowers. Water the plant, exit the apartment, water again, exit, water, etc. Once the flowers are fully blossomed and you water for a final time the achievement should unlock. Also make sure you click on the plant and look at it each time. There’s no need to break the pot etc. like you may have read or watched elsewhere.

I can confirm the comment above, I got the achievement just by watering/looking at/leaving the apartment a few times during the winter picture loop when the endings are available.

You can water the plant during each loop to avoid the final step of water/leave/water....
The flowers appear according to what stage the plant is at, so after I got the confession ending the 3 flowers were already bloomed and I just had to do one final water in the loop straight after getting the ending to pop the achievement.

I can't get it to work in that last loop for some reason. Only one flower was showing.

Edit: I hadn't finished the confession ending. For some reason I now have 3 flowers and it still won't pop. How many flowers should there be?

I might have to try this on a new playthrough. I need to do another playthrough for the seasons achievement anyway.

For some reason the plant has gone from having two flowers to none. I watered the plant when it had two flowers showing, then ended the loop, then when I checked the plant again the flowers were gone. Do I have to restart the whole game now?

I couldn't get this to pop for the life of me. Tried watering during several extra loops, and was worried I'd have to start over. I decided to quit and reload the game. It popped as soon as the game restarted.

How on earth do I get the third bud? I've got all three achievements, but the third flower won't come. I keep smashing the vase , then watering and resetting the loop five times, but only the two flowers appear...

@Stormborn64 I also followed the TA guide and had three flowers but no achievement. I had to water it an additional time (so four loops at the "Loops 16, 17 & 18" step) for it to unlock.

@Kid Kime - You must be following a different guide. There’s no need to smash the vase.

-You never have to touch the plant until you have completed the three loops.
If you only have two buds then I’d say you’ve missed a specific time loop. It may be best to restart the story and solely focus on the three listed loops and then start watering.

This was my 2nd last chievo and I followed your guide. It took me around 2hrs to get this achievement from the full reset. I think I wasted couple of loops and this can be done in 1.5hrs if not less (with dialog FFDs) so here are my tips for others:
1 - you can drug wife, grab phone from closet and get the pocket watch during first attempt. You can use your house key to open the vent and lock the main door to get enough time in 1 attempt. Do not take anything else but 1 pair of handcuffs from the cop. You might be able to call bumblebee from his phone (to have her phone number) during this attempt too as at this point she will just say movie is about to start and hangs up.
2 - when you initially call bumblebee there wont be an option to "tell her why her dad is doing all of this" until you see previously your wife giving him the watch and he says "if she ever found out why am I doing this"
3 - make sure you grab the watch before you confess to cop - it will save you a repeat of a loop.

also if you ever mess up a loop just click on bottom left corner of the open door to exit to speed up the restart of loop. Took 3 waterings. I always looked at plant first and watered it while it was fully in frame and then left through main door.

Okay so I finally figured this one out, you should have to break the pot once flowers are grown just in case they wilt, someone said it’s not needed but I did it to be safe (3 extra loops who cares 🤷‍♂️ Better to be safe then sorry) BUT the way to get all flower buds is tied to endings a lot like the paintings, I started fresh save and grew to a bush but wasn’t getting a single bud, then I did the Groundhog Day ending and I got one, I did the confession ending and got two and then finally did the bad ending (Spoilers!!! When you help the cop betray your wife and got the third, if you guys need any help lmk and make sure to pour water on flowers once fully grown, I needed to do so to get the achievement to pop DOING ALONE ENDING WILL RESART THE PLANT BACK TO ZERO, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, and as of right now, we know that if you choose “to forget” ending it will also start you back at the elevator loosing all progress, mindfulness loop ending doesn’t loose all progress either

Tested without breaking the pot after each flower and everything worked fine. Also missed a day of watering between 2 and 3 flowers, lost my flowers but they came back after watering and looping again.

So how many flowers are there in total and what is the "bad ending"?
Edit: okay, there are three but keep watering them and restarting the day (by leaving the apartment) until you get the achievement.

Yes like stated all three are connected to endings, I was a bit vague as I wasn’t trying to spoil big parts and the guide was quite long, but to clarify, you need to betray your wife by getting the cop tied up and following his instructions , there are guides for that if you need them

It`s possible to do so after the "Alone" achievement, as long as you still have three choices (loops) to do AND have not done the Groundhog first. Each choice (loop) resting is a chance to get one of the three flower you need. And thanks you Nevouti for the guide!!

I just got this achievement and can confirm that the Alone ending does not reset plant/flower progress and that you don't need to break the plant ever. Also in response to the previous comment about not doing Groundhog first, I did Groundhog first and still got this with no problem.

What I did was to bring the game to the final loop, when you have already met the father once, and have the watch to reset time and see him again. From here I tried out different ending while making sure to watering the plant each time. When I finally got 3 flowers I gave water to the plant and got the cheevo.

Just be sure to NOT do the ending that complete the game and start over.

This requires you to grow the flower in the bedroom until 3 full flowers have bloomed. To do this, you need to water the flower in every loop you play. You can use the mugs in the kitchen and fill them with water at the sink in the kitchen or bathroom. You can water the flower multiple times in a single loop, but this doesn't cause the flowers to grow any quicker. The flowers actually bloom based on you watering them and your progression through the loops.

The loops you need to complete, while watering the flower in between are:
Betrayal ("Coward (80G)")
Perfect Day ("Groundhog (80G)")
Confession ("Confessed (80G)")

Our 100% walkthrough over at Achievement Land will get you all of the Achievements in less than 2 hours!

We recommend following our guide from 54:08 through until 01:16:11. It seems to work having the bush green after watering it for 5 loops, doing an ending which adds a flower, smash the vase with knife, and repeat the above process 2 more times.


Note on the three painting achievements. To be absolutely safe you could check each painting before the wife greets you every loop, adding no time to the playthrough. The ones I’ve identified may not be the only triggers.

01:22 “Listen” Ending Achievement
06:09 “Fluidity” Achievement
51:12 “Seasons” Living Room Painting Achievement
• Summer, spring, winter and autumn variants. Unsure what triggers the change, best to check each loop from the start of the game
• Loop @ 05:21
• Loop @ 12:45
• Loop @ 36:03
• Loop @ 50:32 (after the first father encounter)
54:08 “Groundhog” Ending Achievement + Part 1/3 of “Gardener” Achievement
01:02:10 “Confessed” Ending Achievement + Part 2/3 of “Gardener” Achievement
01:07:46 “Coward” Ending Achievement + Part 3/3 of “Gardener” Achievement
01:16:11 “Ouroboros” Kitchen Painting Achievement Unlocks
• 1st picture (egg) can be seen at the start of the game - Loop @ 05:21
• 2nd picture (cracked egg) can be seen after the first encounter with the father - Loop @ 50:32
• 3rd picture (snake circle) can be seen during the Alone ending loop - Loop @ 01:16:11
01:16:11 “Alone” Ending Achievement - “Ourboros” achievement above unlocked in same loop
01:22:37 “Mindfulness” Ending Achievement
01:27:32 “Continue” Ending Achievement
“Faun” Achievement
• Achievement didn’t appear on screen for me
• 1st painting (man holding woman) can be seen from the start of the game - Loop @ 05:21
• 2nd painting (woman moving away from man) can be seen after convincing the cop of wife’s innocence - Loop @ 36:03
• 3rd painting (man alone) can be seen after first encounter with the father - Loop @ 50:32
