Strategist Achievement Guide

By PolishTunes

This guide should help you out with the Strategist Achievement, of course there is more than one way you can do it however I don't like how there isn't a single guide about getting it 100% so hopefully this helps out, if you play your cards right you and pick the correct jobs till the very end, you should have $20 or more saved up to help you out.

No problem. Have a nice one

PolishTunes [author] 11 Feb @ 7:10am

Oh, that's interesting, might look into it because that's not supposed to happen... thanks for telling me, I'll test it out.

KeyShot 11 Feb @ 6:33am

Actually it was way before I started to pick up any jobs but it doesn't matter anyway. I got the strategist achivement thanks to you and had enough money to buy the windows at the final turn, so it's all good. Cheers

PolishTunes [author] 10 Feb @ 10:04am

So KeyShot, if you are $2 short that means that you picked up lower paying jobs near the end. During and after Round 7 in Episode 7, you should focus on either having all the DIKs focus on $3 paying jobs or $2 paying jobs - no $1 at all.

The thing you did for Bella has counted it may have just been some bad luck on your end because surprisingly this mini game has little to no bugs.

KeyShot 10 Feb @ 9:13am

I don't know if it's a bug or not but I'm $2 short from the guide and I did book sorting for Bella and received the money but I'm not really sure if it's added up to the balance

PolishTunes [author] 11 Dec, 2024 @ 5:56pm

No, gracias por seguir mi guía y perdón por el pobre español, no soy muy bueno en eso y estoy usando Google Translate.

Según tengo entendido, parece que o tu juego falló o te consumiste con el área de deseos, el área #2 es la que está arriba y que puedes limpiar cerca del tanque de pesca (realmente no lo recuerdo, ha pasado un poco). un poco desde la última vez que jugué).

bursumcapora99 11 Dec, 2024 @ 7:17am

Gracias, no me salio igual a tu guía pero se cumplieron todos los objetivos, en mi caso tome el pase VIP quede al final con $27. Y en el Round 3, limpie el área #2 que indicas pero en el mini juego me aparece que estaba lista el are #1.

PolishTunes [author] 6 Nov, 2024 @ 2:30pm

Thanks brother, but again someone on Reddit figured it out first and I just made it look presentable.

hurjhajm"29 6 Nov, 2024 @ 2:04am

Unlike the other guide here, this one actually works. Cheers!!

PolishTunes [author] 22 Mar, 2024 @ 1:54pm

Yeah, when it comes to money it's always useful to max them out however you want in reality - I maxed them out by buying some extra experience and just rest but overall, these stats are what got me the achievement so that's why I decided to show them after being done with the whole house.
