How to unlock the The Garden achievement in Untitled Goose Game - Definitive Guide
* Get into the garden
* Get the groundskeeper wet
These two can be done together. To get into the garden you need the groundskeeper to come outside (and open the gate); you do this by turning on the sprinkler, by using the faucet by the fence at the end of the hose. If you wait until the groundskeeper is near the empty garden bed with the sprinkler in it he will get caught in the water.
* Steal the groundskeeper's keys
At any point when the groundskeeper is bent over, you can sneak up (crouch) on his side and steal his keys. This is probably easiest done by taking something and dropping it for him to pick up.
* Make the groundskeeper wear his sunhat.
It is possible to sneak up on the groundskeeper while he's working in the garden beds and steal his hat. If you take it too far away for him to find it, he'll wear his sun hat instead. Possibly best achieved by uprooting the tulip and letting him replant it. (Stealing lettuce or pumpkins don't cause him to start working in those garden beds.)
(Don't bother trying to knock the hat off the door with the rake like I did.)
* Rake in the lake
Steal the rake. Drag it to the lake.
The rake is in the back of the garden, and you have to crouch to grab it. Use zoom out (RB) to make sure you are avoiding the groundskeeper, because he will catch you and take it back.
* Have a picnic (bring to the picnic blanket: sandwich, apple, pumpkin, carrot, jam, thermos, radio, basket)
The picnic blanket is below and to the right of the garden, by the water. Just below the garden is a bench by the water where you can find an apple, sandwich, and the picnic basket. In the garden, on the groundskeeper's table by the shed, you can find an extra apple, the thermos, and the jam. Pumpkins and carrots need to be picked from the garden beds. The radio is outside the garden fence, near the sprinkler faucet.
* [Bonus]: Make the groundskeeper hammer his thumb
The groundskeeper will eventually start to put up a "no goose allowed" sign at the back of the garden. He'll have a hammer to drive it into the ground, and if you honk while he's on the downswing he'll hit his thumb. He does have two practice swings first, but the windup for the real one is obvious.
Achievement Walkthrough:
At the start of the game, the goose will swim to the first area, the Garden. In this area you will be tasked with completing six items listed below:
- Get into the garden
- Get the groundskeeper wet
- Steal the groundskeeper's keys
- Make the groundskeeper wear his summer hat
- Rake in the Lake
- Have a picnic (Bring to the picnic blanket: sandwich, apple, pumpkin, carrot, jam, thermos, radio, basket)
It is easiest to begin by grabbing the radio on top of the two large bags to the left of the gate, or turn the water on further left of the gate. Either of these options can give you the possibility of getting the groundskeeper wet (for the radio: once you steal it, let the groundskeeper chase you back to the lake) Once you have access to the garden, work on completing all six objectives. For a walkthrough to quickly get through the to-do list, please refer to The Garden, Quickly trophy video.
As far as the list goes, the tasks are fairly self-explanatory: Gather the items for the picnic at the bench by the lake, the vegetables from the garden and the jam and thermos on the table in the back left of the area. You may have already grabbed the radio to get in the garden, if not grab it to the left of the gate.
The groundskeeper's keys are on his left hip. The Rake is towards the back of the garden and the lake is where you came in to the area at the beginning.
Getting him to wear his summer hat is accomplished by pulling out his prized tulip in the middle plot of the garden by the wheelbarrow and when he reaches down to replant it, steal his brown hat and hide it in the foliage of the right back corner plot. He will eventually take his summer hat off the hook and wear it
Once all six tasks are complete you will be given the final task:
- Make the groundskeeper hammer his thumb
Steal the newly placed "No Geese Allowed" sign at the back of the garden and wait for the groundskeeper to prepare to hammer the sign back into the ground. Once he lifts the hammer high above his head, HONK to make the groundskeeper hurt his thumb, fall over and open the back gate of the garden. This will complete the area and open the way to the High Street area and award you the trophy.
- Get into the garden
- Wet the gardener
