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

This is unlocked by looking at the painting of the egg on the wall on the kitchen side 3 separate times. It will have 3 different looks depending on where you are at in the time loops. In the beginning it is just an egg. After you first visit the father the egg will have a visible snake eye on it. Then once you proceed through the "alone" ending (there is a guide for this ending up already, but it's basically just telling the father you'll leave her) and get into the emtpy apartment, open the vent under the bathroom sink with the key, reset the pocket watch to 2 minutes before 12, and then choose to stay with her. It will become a snake eating it's tail in the shape of the egg once back in the apartment.

After you get alone ending: Enter to the empty bathroom, Using the keys, open the place where the watch is and take it and put the watch 2 minutes before 12. Let the time start and you will back

I think to clarify, you do the above then after you set it 2 before 12, you chose the I want to be with her option to get back into the apt. That's what I just did for it

Once you put the minute hand on 11:58 you have to wait for the second hand to go to 12:00. Took me a little to figure that out. Thanks for the solution.

Shout out to Phillip Wendell. Good guide for the overall solution but specifically how to get the watch to go back in time is not Intuitive at all if you haven't used it yet. Cheers

I have the snake on the painting but it did not give me the achievement. Any suggestions?

You may have not looked at the snake during one of its other forms in one of the other loops? Plain egg is #1. Eye in egg is #2

I can confirm from my own experience that you don't have to look at each version of the painting in one playthrough. It tracks any progress even if you get the ending/achievement that makes you start over. I did not check if this still applies if you use the menu option to reset your progress.

P.S. The proper kitchen painting to look at is in the lower right of the screen, not the one next to the fridge. I didn't realize it was the egg painting I was meant to look at and kept checking the dots one next to the fridge instead and wondering why nothing was changing.

If you missed the middle painting you got 2 choices, either complete the game and restart over or manually restart the game on Options->Advanced->Delete Progress

Not sure if it's been confirmed already but progress with paintings carries over to next playthrough. It's tied up to your profile. So if you missed any of the paintings (works with all paintings in the game) you can just play to that part to get it to 'count'. This works fine even when going for Continue achievement and resetting the progress

This requires you to view the painting of an egg in the kitchen on three separate occasions. The painting will change based on the loops you complete.

The loops you need to complete are:
Let It Be ("Listen (80G)")
The Truth
Ending #1 ("Alone (80G)") or Ending #2 ("Mindfulness (80G)")

Make sure to view the picture after finishing each of these loops. Resetting your progress in the advanced options menu will reset this achievement, as will completing Ending #3 ("Continue (80G)") as that is the True Ending and completes the game.
