The Little Acre Any% Walkthrough

Though Steam user tsupertsundere's guide is great for getting every achievement, if you're running Any%, their guide is a bit drawn out and covers unnecessary moves.

the Little Acre Full Text Walkthrough + Achievements [BY: tsupertsundere]

Introduction and Notes
This is a one-to-one transcription of the videos posted in this guide posted on Steam by user Kitty Skies. The video walkthroughs are by the Hidden Levels.

A NOTE ON ACHIEVEMENTS

Two playthroughs are recommended - one for speedrunning and asking for a hint, and one to get all the other achievements, as well as going through with no hints or solutions to puzzles given to you. Save your speedrunning achievement for your second playthrough. Getting through this game with this guide in under an hour shouldn't be too difficult a task.

By watching a playthrough while transcribing and doing my first playthrough on my own, I managed to get every achievement (except for the 'use a solution' one) AND the speedrun achievement in one run through. Pausing the game by hitting the escape key stops the clock. I did also exit to menu and continue the game and got the achievement, so that seems to be safe, too.

You'll get story-based unmissable achievements as you go through the game - I won't mark those. I will mark missable achievements with (ACHIEVEMENT).

Part One
Don't Wake Lily!
- Click the shirt overtop the dog to snag it.
- Wait until the dog yawns, then snatch the stick out of his mouth.
- Equip the stick, then click the pants on the back of the chair
- Aidan puts on pants, then finds an old sandwich in his pocket. Give it to the dog.
- Dougal the dog's breath turns foul. Poke him with the stick to get him to turn over and breathe on the little girl.
- Lily, the little girl, rolls over and off your sweater. Toss the sandwich onto the sweater, and Dougal will snatch it, roll over, and bring it within reach.
- Use the stick on the sweater in Dougal's mouth when is mouth is open, and you'll get the sweater while he gnaws on the stick.
- Get the boots right next to the bed.
- Aidan is all dressed, Dougal climbs down the ladder, and Lily covers her head with a pillow. Aidan is in the clear.
- Click on the ladder to follow Dougal.

WATER You Up To?
- Pick up the waterjug on the back-right table, then leave the house.
- Open the mailbox and click the letter, package, and newspaper. After the monologue, return to your house.
- Walk toward the camera and the scene will expand to show you the full house. Walk towards the right, pick up the stepladder, and exit out the back door to the right.
- Continue to walk to the right until Aidan walks into the background.
- Use the water jug on the pump, then hit the pump. The handle will break off and end up in your inventory.
- Use the handle on the shed door to the right and head inside.
- Right in front of Aidan is a pitchfork on the ground - pick it up and leave the shed.
- Back outside, use the pitchfork on the tree stump next to the pump.
- Use your ungodly creation on the water pump, which activates it and fills the jug.
- Pick it up and head back inside.

Generator Activation
- Head into the room underneath the ladder, Arthur's room.
- Pick up the white and red mask on the bed.
- Click on the console to enter into it.
- Turn the top dial on the left to the fourth setting, and turn the bottom dial to the third setting.
- Place the crystal you got from the package into the indent, and the water jug into the funnel.

The Dance is Key
- The generator is on, so hit the switch on the wall to turn on the lights.
- Head over all the way to the right.
- There's something to pick up at the very top of the shelves. Try to pick it up, and Aiden will break the lowermost shelf.
- Deploy the footstool you had picked up, try again, and reach for it!
- Aiden breaks the stool, knocks the puzzle box over, and opens up the strange metal thing nearby.
- Pick up the puzzle box and return into the house.
- Walk toward the fireplace, and use the mask on Dougal who's chillin. It startles him and he barks, waking Lily.
- After Lily leaps onto Dougal, use the puzzle box on her.
- Lily does some dance moves, hinting as to how you solve the puzzle box.

Breakfast Adventures

- Check the oat bag - it's empty! Lily breaks the cup, too, by accident.
- Click Dougal to 'use' him on things - use him on the string attached to the bottom-most cupboard on the cupboard on the left.
- Then open the cupboard yourself and narrowly avoid death. Lily carries the bowl back to the little table.
- (ACHIEVEMENT) To get the achievement, you have to do this on the first try. Use Dougal on the door, then AS FAST AS POSSIBLE click on the oat bag hanging at the top of the laundry line, at the top right corner of the screen. Lily will dart to the right and climb up the cupboard to jump and grab the oats. If you're too slow, Dougal will stop you.
- Click on the black pot hanging behind Dougal. Lily puts it in the fireplace. Put the oats in the pot, and Lily will automatically put the water in the pot, too. She did it all by herself!
Part Two
The Little Aiden
- You're Aiden now! Click to get up.
-Walk over to the lower right side of the screen to look at the pile of stuff. Pick up the hat and the orb underneath it.
- (ACHIEVEMENT) To get this achievement, you have to open the door on the first try. If you mess up, you can quit out and try it again and it should 'reset' your attempts. Okay, so, take the orb and use it on the socket on the very left of the screen. Then remove the orb as fast as you can and use it on the socket immediately to the right of it. Together that should open the big door, and give you your achievement.
(NOTE! If you're going for the speedrun achievement, I don't know if exiting out and trying again ♥♥♥♥♥ with the achievement or not. Beware!)
- The scene will switch back to Lily

- (ACHIEVEMENT) With the sword now in your inventory, click on the gnome to behead it and get an achievement!
- Return to your home, and it switches back to Aiden.

- Touch the lantern on this new island. Head across the new path towards the door.

- Loop around and head into the door.
- Back again as Lily. Head to her grandad's room.

If you're fast enough, you'll get the achievement. You MIGHT be able to quit out to get this achievement again. The achievement unlocks in the loading screen. I'd probably just make a save right before
- Now you're Aiden. Merr's telling a long-ass story. Follow him up through the passageway.

- Enjoy the cutscenes, you've beaten the game!
- If you completed the speedrun in enough time, it should unlock right at the beginning of the credits. If you didn't use any hints or any solutions, you should get those achievements at the same time, too.

If you follow this guide and get the speedrun achievement, the only one left that you need is the one for using a solution. Simply start the game again, and instead of picking Aiden's shirt off of Dougal, open the inventory and click the 'notes' tab. Click on 'show hint' and then 'show solution'. The achievement will pop, and you should have your 100%!
