Welcome to my 100% achievement guide for Day of the Tentacle Remastered. This will not only list all the achievements, including the hidden ones, but also tell you how to obtain them. There are unmarked spoilers below, so please use this guide at your own risk!

All achievements are in the order that they appear on the achievement page, and no necessarily in the order that you'll unlock them in. Some of the achievements are missable, so be sure to read carefully how to obtain them.

Master Plumber
Master Plumber
Flush 50 objects through time

This achievement is missable!

This achievement sounds straight forward, but it's a little tricker. Rather than using the Chron-o-John to flush 50 items, you'll need to do it straight from your inventory. Simply click on an item, then bring it to the character you want to give it to. Do this 50 times and the achievement will pop up. You'll need to actually farm a bit to get this one, as you can beat the game without transfering items 50 times. Make sure you do this before going back to yesterday.

"Went for the Master Plumber achievement just now, and got it after flushing only 21 unique items. All were flushed a couple of times between chars, so seems it doesn't have to be 50 unique items but rather 50 flushes with any item(s)." - Limesub

Chef

Cook the hamster in Maniac Mansion (Don't try this at home, kids!)

This achievement is missable!

You'll need to play Maniac Mansion in Weird Ed's room to get this achievement. When choosing characters, make sure to either pick Syd or Razor, as they're the only characters who will actually microwave the hamster. After the hamster pops, the achievement will pop as well.

Using Dave, head toward the house. Pick up the mat and pick up the key. Use the key on the front door and open the door. Open the first door you come across and enter the kitchen. Head right until you run into Nurse Edna. She'll capture Dave and leave the kitchen.

With Razor or Syd, enter the house and go into the kitchen. Open the door to the far right and enter the dining room. Keep walking right and open the far door again to enter the pantry. Use the What Is command to locate the fruit drinks and pick them up. Go back to the foyer and head upstairs.

At the top of the stairs, go to the far left door and open it. Enter to be in an art studio. Pick up the wax fruit and leave the room. Go through the big metal door in the center of the hallway, then go up the stairs to the far right. At the top of the stairs, you'll find Green Tentacle. Give him the wax fruit and the fruit drinks and he'll allow you to pass by. Do so and go up the left hand stairs. Open the first door and go into Dr. Fred's room. Close the door and switch to your third character.

As the third character, go to the front door and push the door bell, then turn and run away from the door. This will make Weird Ed leave his room. Switch back to Syd/Razor and wait a few seconds for Ed to pass by the room you're in. Leave Dr. Fred's room and enter the third door to reach Ed's room. Take the hamster and hurry back to Fred's room.

By this point, Ed should be returning, so make sure to stay hidden or he'll send you to the dungeon with Dave. After a few seconds, leave the room and head back to the kitchen by going through the left door way, down the right stairs, through the metal door, down the stairs, and through the door to the right of the front door. Once in the kitchen, open the microwave, put in the hamster, and turn on the microwave.

"For the "Chef" achievement, it could be faster to get captured after getting the hamster. There is a Loose Stone in the dungeon, right below one of the windows, that'll open the door. But you have to leave 1 of the characters behind to hold the stone and keep the door open. Then you can cross the basement and be back in the lobby through the secret passage." - Object Reference Not Set
Conclusion
Thank you for reading this far! I hope this guide helps with some of the more annoying achievements. If I've missed anything, please feel free to leave me a message!

(ETA on 1/18/18): I've neglected this guide and for that, I'm sorry. I'll be going through the comments and making fixes when I get an opportunity. Thank you for your patience.

You should really order these differently. Having them in the order you'd unlock them in game would make it much easier to ensure someone doesn't miss one of the missable achievements.
Crater Creator 12 May, 2018 @ 11:39pm 
You can also use the scalpel in the microwave to earn Voiding the Warranty. I did it with Laverne.
Adam 2 May, 2018 @ 5:05pm 
In re Can't Win and Chew Gum at the Same Time: It's worth clarifying that the chattering teeth must be used on Dead Cousin Ted not only before Laverne uses the dentures on Ted but also before Hoagie gives them to George Washington.
dingdong 15 Jan, 2018 @ 7:44pm 
Please add that for the Master Plumber achievement that you can instantly get this achievement from the start by quick flushing just between bernard and hoogie.
Simply said, you can get this achievement with just 1 item using quick flush. (i'd recoment finding around 9 items or so, and drag flush them all back and forth, u'll have teh achievement in no time)
n43 8 Oct, 2017 @ 5:18pm 
Oh, on the achievement "Chef": the order of given items to the tentacle is actually important. First the wax fruits, then the juice :louie:
~Dreamer~ 20 Aug, 2017 @ 11:53am 
Master Plumber definitely works by just flushing a single item 50 times between two characters (just tried it out)
The edited comment is somewhat misleading, as it mentions 21 different items, implying more than one item might be needed.
IntegrityConstraintViolation 27 May, 2017 @ 2:49pm 
"master plumber" ONLY works if you use the items on the character icons! i spent a lot of time flushing the items manually and picking them up from the toilett!
