Note About Multiplayer
Considering that other players may have unlocked more ducks than you have, it may be quicker to unlock any remaining achievements by joining a multiplayer room with other players.

The only limitation is that Quacking the Ice and Hippospace Download achievements are not available to unlock this way, considering that Infinity Cool is currently the only available map.

So Many Ducks DLC

Action Required
    It's mining crypto!

    Play the game
    You finally control a duck


Have the thief duck steal a coin from the piggy bank duck and place it onto the arcade cabinet duck, then interact with the arcade cabinet duck to insert the coin and play the game.

    Annoying parrot (Hidden)
    Listen to all the phrases


Quack the parrot duck and have it make all 12 unique sounds (4 of them learned by default). New sounds unlock every 10 minutes and the progress isn't saved when exiting the game or leaving to main menu. It's sufficient to leave the duck floating for 1:20h, then quacking it a couple of times.

Sounds (some are in Italian, bold: default):
  1. Ah no-no (?)
  2. (Confused grunt) Aaa-ooh?
  3. Bella bah-ts (?)
  4. Bah-goo-vill-yo (?)
  5. Yip-yip (?) pappagallo (parrot) (?)
  6. Auw!
  7. Coo!
  8. Nuh-uh!
  9. (Lower pitch) Nuh-uh!
  10. Nocto (night)
  11. Hey, what's the problem? (?)
  12. Bah-tah para-zero (?)

There is a, presumably, unused property "soundDetectionRadius" of value 15.0 that may indicate that the sounds were meant to be learned by listening to the environment, but proximity to ducks and other sound sources made no difference from testing.

For "Campfire simulator" I'd add that the propeller duck needs to escape and THEN you need to use the binoculars while it's escaped. You can't just idle while looking into the binoculars.
Lucky Luxray 16 Feb @ 9:18pm 
For anyone wondering, the 'Big Loud Explosion' achievement happens on it's own when the pin cushion duck and balloon animal duck collide.

More details for Pap-O-Matic:
The Tamagotchi becomes available to feed every ~3mins, you feed them three times for each of these sections and the bar increases by 1/5th, so you need to check back in 10 times in total.

I just got Pap-O-Matic- how to obtain:

From "Ducks Galore", get the Tamagotchi Duck... middle of the bottom row between the gacha machine and raccoon duck
Click on it to feed until a heart appears above the duck on screen, notice that the progress bar at the top grows a little.
Wait a couple minutes until the heart disappears and repeat, filling the progress bar twice to unlock the achievement.

how do i get the binoculars

I don't have an ETA for the new DLC achievements, I am honestly growing very tired of this game. If someone wants to contribute to the guide, please let me know and I'll add you to contributors.

I just got the scoring challenge achievement while focused on a duck right next to the fireplace so it might not need the camera to be nearby?

[waves wing] hiyas. me again.
will you be adding for the latest (as of this writing Nov.18,2024) dlc? curious because i has sooo many questions. ^^;;
WinesomeAmelia 17 Nov, 2024 @ 7:14am 
Slight clarification, Remfire4822 is correct about the Pap-O-Matic achievement. The duck you have to click is the Tomagachi duck (it's purple and looks like an egg) when you click it you'll see the screen will have an egg on it that eventually hatches into a duck, then you click that duck to feed it. You have to wait for the hearts to go away each time before you can feed it again, so just keep checking and clicking on that duck.
