This is my first ever guide, and a lot of the images are me taking pictures with my phone as I played. I was doing this to keep track of my choices through multiple tries and resets to make it more efficient. Enjoy literally watching me figure it out lol.

I want to start by saying I loved this game as I played it. Characters were great, voice lines are on point and the mini stories that evolve through your choices like the demon, green boots, cults were a great way to keep me reading profiles and not flying through to the end. With that said, some achievements can only be described as frustrating and painful. I ended up going through roughly 30 playthroughs to get 100% and that can be reduced and I am here to help that.

This guide will specifically talk about 3 achievements I believe to be some of the hardest due to RNG, or the fact you get 1 shot per 28 day run where even if you speed run as fast as you can, can still take you around 45 mins per attempt upwards of 1.5 hours only to find out you failed. I will try to stay active in the comments as long as this game remains fresh in my head.

Good ol' Morti wants to tell you his many tales he had!

This is an achievement I suggest you go for as soon as possible and there is 1 big reason for that. He has 6 stories that he wants to tell you and from my experience (as far as I can tell) it will only register 1 story PER play thru meaning you better know what you are doing or else you will be like me and have many repeats.

Of these 6 stories apparently only 5 matter for the achievement but I do not know which of the 5 matter because by the time I unlocked the achievement myself I had gone through all 6 options so to play it safe, just go all 6. By the time you unlock all other achievements you probably also have fully played this game about 10 times at the VERYYYY least.

On the last weekend of the month Morti shows up to talk to you. He starts the story the same way every time with his sailing past Ill Omen. You then have a choice of lines you reply back to him and this is where the achievement begins.


These 4 choices are showing you 4 of the 6 total stories you have to listen to. I didnt take another picture because this was just a quick comparison when I was running it.

"Oh gods, will you ever stop!?" is the changing one.
You see 4 but I said there are 6 choices, well that gods one is based on the personality test Cerri gives you on the first weekend. So in this image the 1st, 3rd, 4th will always be here. Each diff personality from Aggressive, Neutral, Grumpy ALL COUNT for the achievement. so you must do a play through for each personality and then another at least 2 for those other options. As i mentioned it took me all 6 stories to get the achievement so just do all 3. THANK YOU to Bartelmy for confirming "Just clock out" is NOT needed!

You must listen to a story all the way thru and after you will get the achievement on your 5th or 6th run before you even leave the conversation with Mortimer. This can not be save scummed by listening to it all the way thru, quitting game before he finishes talking to reload and do another. I TRIED AND IT DIDN'T WORK! Enjoy your 6 runs.

Now you get to tell Mortimer one of YOUR stories.

The first time I tried this I got the achievement for having a good story where I really tired to have it make no sense. I then proceeded to have the story make sense 4 more tries before I got this.

This can be gotten in 1 run with some save scumming. After you tell the story he will mention "That is a great tale" basically. If so, you DID NOT get the achievement. BEFORE he stops talking you have to hit ESC quit the entire game. I'm sure you can just go to main menu and load again but I quit fully each time. Load your save and you will be int he bar again and can talk to him again. Use this technique to make sure you get your story telling achievement in 1 shot. The achievement pops up BEFORE it brings you back to the bar making it so you can get the good story, quit, get the bad story, and keep playing.

Here are pictures again taken from my phone of the choices I made Each step and this got me the Non Sequitur achievement and Mortimer telling me my story made no sense. There could be other options but this was the first that worked for me! After the choices he will mention how your story made no sense and the achievement pop up will appear after after that. Enjoy!

This is without a doubt THE MOST brutal achievement you can go for in this game. This achievement simply broke me as a person as I started to become aware how to get it. I am sure you the reader have heard HOW to get it. The trick is to have PERFECT balance by the end of day 5 going to bed into day 6. By perfect balance I mean everything at 10,10,10,10 or 100,100,100,100 or 70,70,70,70 all 4 stats have to be equal. Don't know wtf those numbers are? Skip the next section if you dont want a background on why this achievement sucks for us hunters.

This achievement is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible. The game gives us + and - thanks to the lamp and kinda the globe. Back when I started playing I noticed the "weath" go from a hut to a house and back to a hut because i got a + and then a -. I then got another + but it DIDN'T go back to a house until I got a second +. This shows each profile and person has differently weighted results. someone might give +10 to wealth but another might add +70. There is NO WAY for you to EVER know the exact numbers without getting into the files.. That is strike one.

You are expected to get all numbers the same meaning all at +60 or maybe -100 or +300 etc without knowing the EXACT number gain or loss per each profile and on top of that each profile is RNG on what pops out of your fax. Meaning 1 unlucky roll on day 5 group and you lose. Too bad. Start over. RNG of profiles is strike two.

There is a profile that you can see on the Wiki for this game (link below when we start the guide) which was also confirmed by me in the testing to get this achievement that outright makes you lose. This is the profile that if you get it and try to get this achievement legit without cheating at all means you instantly INSTANTLY LOSE and might as well just start a New Game+ and try again. most profiles work with 5's and 10's so some give -5, maybe +65 maybe -45. THIS ♥♥♥♥♥♥ GIVES AND I REPEAT! -22, -21, -6, -12 or if you let him live, -13, -9, -6, -33
note the lack of 5's and 10s....you could have +50,+50,+50,+50 and this guy shows up along with another 4 profiles and drop in some 6,33,13s and you lose. Just....Lose.... THIS is strike three.

Time to cheat and do what it takes to get this. The Dev themself stated might as well use a hexeditor/hack the game to get the achievement other wise it is described as "Oh well looks like you didnt win the lotto this round."

Few things you will need to start this working and the main one is Cheat Engine. It is a program that will run along side Death and Taxes that will show you values and you ultimately able to manipulate them. The goal is to get to day 5, hand in files, talk to Fate, and BEFORE BED we change all values of the stats to the same. Go to sleep. Wake up to a beautiful egg on your pillow.

Get Cheat Engine. Google it.
https://www.neoseeker.com/death-and-taxes/Endings_Guide#Fate.E2.80.99s_pet

That link is to the "wiki" that we will be using to make this a lot easier. That link provides SOME knowledge of the profiles that will be popping out as well as the numbers DIRECT numbers for the + and - which will help when we have to look up stuff. Put this on the side and we will be using it to start. With both Cheat Engine up and Wiki help up, we will begin the process of getting the Egg.


Open the game and have cheat engine open. top left you will see tht monitor with a magnifying glass. Click that and you will get a list of processes and you see how there is Death n Taxes on it. Click that to make the Cheat Engine start paying attention to that game.

• These are the 2 names I got to start with on my Day 1 in the game.

Back to CE (Cheat Engine) we need to do an initial scan to just put all possible choices in the pool. We do this by clicking on "Scan Type" and selecting Unknown Initial Value and then hitting "First Scan" We will get something int he 400 millions, but don't worry we only have to narrow it down to a single one....



Found 428,973,056





Now that we got the Initial scan of 400mil + We have to narrow down the results to pin point 1 of the 4 stats of Health, Weath, Peace, Nature. This is also where the Wiki list I posted comes in handy MAYBE, and I will explain that in a moment. The goal in the next few pictures is to pick any of the 4 types (I picked money) and to try to find that address. We will do this by marking down the paper for live/die and using the + or - of money to do another scan.







We go to the Wiki and we look up their names to see if they are on the list provided. NOT ALL NAMES WILL BE ON THE LIST. If that happens, pick another profile there is a way to get this to work if you reallly dont want to use the Wiki but that will be at the very end of the guide. It is also important to have 2 people that can influence the same stat. In my case I have both that can mess with the Wealth so I went with wealth as the first choice. We have Tecumseh Gold which gives us (if we let her live) according to the wiki +25 to wealth. Check smaller image for what I mean. The profile in wiki reads left to right with the first 4 in this case all are "???" which are the 4 stats for killing them, and the 2nd set of 4 in this case 0,25,15,0 are if you let her live which directly relate to game profile of Nature, Wealth, Health, Peace. So this wiki tells us by letting her live we gain +25 wealth. (By the way the Wiki CAN BE WRONG with their values. If this method results in 0 finds. it means something went bad somewhere and it is better for you to start a New Game+ and try again.)


We change Scan Type to "Increased value by..." because we KNOW thanks to the Wiki that it INCREASED by 25. IF for you the value DECREASED then you would simply change scan type to "Decreased value by..." and type in the number. We hit "NEXT SCAN" because this is an add-on to the first scan we did. As you see our number droped a bit to a less insane 448 possible answers!














This part is a bit of a bonus that I learned to make it less messy. You do NOT have to do this if you want but I find it a nice addition to it. Of those 448 choices some of the numbers will be constantly bouncing around. Clearly your stat isnt just randomly changing with you not doing anything so these bouncy numbers are all irrelevant and can be avoided. We do this by changing Scan Type to "Unchanged value" and hitting Next Scan to add on to the others. We obviously don't want a value that is changing on its own so this scan will cut some of them down. For me you can see it dropped from 448 to 57!









We are going to repeat the same steps from first person with the 2nd person. We can see from the Wiki they give a +35 to Wealth if we let them live so we mark them to live on the profile!







Back on CE we put the Scan Type back to "Increased value by..." because our guy here gave us a +35 so we put 35 in the value box as you can see. We hit Next Scan since we are STILL working on just Wealth still, and WOAHHH look at that I got 2 results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! If you got 0 results found it is possible that the Wiki gave you the wrong numbers. Just start a NG+ and try again! You will be fine.

This is a fun part because you see I have 2 values. You might have 1 or 2. I have found this a few times in my runs and still don't understand why I don't see it every time but let me explain. These values I got, that Address, yours WILL BE DIFFERENT so do not be scared if it is seperate from mine. EVERY TIME YOU NEW GAME it will reset the addresses and you get to start over from square one. YAY!

1 of these Addresses is the REAL Wealth one and the other is a TEMPORARY Wealth one. Think of 1 of them being real and the other only being used for that certain day. Example. Your real true wealth is 50 but the temp one says 30. This means the profiles you marked on that day gave 30 wealth overall. and the 50 means you had 20 the day before plus the 30 you got today.

ALL IN ALL! JUST KEEP BOTH!

I highlighted both of those Addresses and hit that little arrow you see sorta middle of the image. Down and to the Right arrow. This will move the Addresses into that bottom section. Bottom section is basically where we will ultimately manipulate the values when the time comes. You can also click each address and move 1 at a time if you cant highlight them.

This image shows something fun. All that was changed was I changed the description of them to keep it in my mind what they are. I know they are wealth but I don't know which is real and which is temp. I ended my day, talked to Fate and went to bed. That transition from bed to next day turned 1 of my values to 0! That bed marks the true end of the day and what did I say about temporary and real wealth? That 0 means it was the temporary wealth and that 60 means the REAL value of wealth aka the REAL ADDRESS we will need to get this achievement. CONGRATULATIONS! That is 1 of 4 we need! So I changed the name to remind myself which is real and which is fake. You can change the name by right clicking the one in the bottom section -> change record -> description. We will also be doing this to change the value but don't get ahead of yourself yet.

Now we start over from Step 1. Next to the button saying "Next Scan" we obviously need to search for something brand new. So we click the one on the side saying "New Scan" and this should look familiar. We change Scan Type to "Unknown Initial Value" because we have no idea what Nature, Peace, or Health are at. and hit First Scan. We will get back to our favorite 400mil + choices and we go from there.

---

I check the Wiki list and I see this girl can help us find Nature. She could also do Health but I just picked Nature for no reason. Wiki says by letting her live she LOWERS my nature by 10. So we head back to CE and put Scan Type to "Decrease value by..." and put a value of 10 as you see in the image. We hit Next Scan to work on that 400mil we got going for us again, and It gave me 398 potential answers.

---

This is where I learned a fun trick which helped me a TON! The issue is you still have only 5 days to get all 4 values and you could get screwed get profiles not in the Wiki and lose entire days with 0 progress. I noticed once you have 1 CONFIRMED value in this case I have Wealth found I can see the Address of it. Look at the Address "133982F1960" every thing you are trying to find will have the EXACT SAME starting sequence. Only things that will be different will be the last 3 characters. See the image above to see what i mean same start of 133982F1 and then the last 3 are different. 960, F20, C20. By use knowing at least 1 TRUE address we can do 1 scan like I did for Nature. and Look at how I just scrolled down the side looking for the same address.

So I clicked on that address that matches from that long list of 398 and hit that arrow like before and boom Nature and Wealth both confirmed.

Let us take a moment to explain that weird number value you see. This game sees NEGATIVE as a REALLLLLLLY high number. specifically 4.2 billion like you see there. That just means that nature isn't doing too well in the game lol.

You know the drill by now, now you need a new value so we hit new scan, change Scan Type to "Unknown Initial Value" and hit First Scan. Oh hey look 400mil answers, good. Now the profile you see that I took an image of IS NOT IN THE WIKI. So this is how I mentioned earlier you can do this trick without using the Wiki but it takes longer and you might fail getting all values in 4 days.

All we know of him is that he increases both Health and Peace which is good cause we need both and since both go in the same direction I am going to take a short cut. If the profile you use only has 1 then don't freak out, just do what you learned in the other parts. In my case I do not know the real value on the increase so I am going to change Scan Type to "Increased value" Since we don't know by how much, we simply say "It Increased." We end up with 1.5 million results. Worse than our usual 500ish which is why I suggest using the wiki.
<-- Little technique of using the Scan Type of "Unchanged Value" like before to turn that 1.5 million into a slightly easier to manage 245k. This can be skipped if you want, but does make it easier to read. Remember to be using "Next Scan" button and not new scan, don't want to ruin and start over!

---

Allow me to blow your little lemon headed mind for a moment. In this image I just found BOTH Health and Peace at the same time. Since my profile gave a positive bonus to both of them, and I searched and scanned for a general increase of value, since BOTH increased they BOTH showed up! I did what I did before where I just simply scrolled down all 245k addresses yes....UNTIL I found again that same sequence of characters. (Again yours WILL be different than mine).

You see I have 3 addresses though for only 2 things we need. If you remember what I said about that temporary stuff, this is it again. so of the 3 I brought down to the bottom I now have to find out which are real and which is the temp. I also have no idea which is Health and which is Peace but really it doesn't TRULY matter at this point.
In this image, I finished my paper work, talked to Fate, and went to bed. You see how "Money temp" went to 0? Like i said that changes each time you go to sleep but notice how one of our new addresses ALSO went to 0. That means that is the temporary one of either Health or Peace. All that matter is that we KNOW it is temp because temp = useless to us. So I named it "temp something"







At this point we already won and the game just doesnt know we own that Egg yet BUT I like to just know which value is which. So I took this profile cause I see it gives positive Peace and we already know Plants, so I just watched the value as I marked him and saw that 1 of the addresses went from 30 -> 70 confirming that one is Peace and process of elimination the other was Health. The End is almost here. 1 Last section!

You are there. In that image you can see I changed all the values to 300. Why 300? Who cares. It works lol. Right click the addresses 1 by one and like I said before Right click -> change record -> value. each of the REAL ones make 300. 100, 50, 10, anything you want as long as they are all the same. So why risk it....just do 300 like me. After each are marked and you are sitting on your desk on day 3,4,5 you will notice the snow globe hasn't updated. That is fine it only updates when you mark ANY PROFILE at all. Look.

I mark the profile however I want, doesn't matter and the globe will refresh and show you what it looks like now. Becareful because since you also marked the profile your values arent all 300, some will go up and down thanks to the profile choice. Which is why the next part it SUPER IMPORTANT!


Day 5 comes. just mark profiles. Doesn't matter, just don't get fired lol. Submit your profiles, talk to Fate but STOP! It all comes down to this. After you talked to Fate You must go to your CE and MAKE SURE all the addresses you got that are real are marked all the same. My choice was each at 300,300,300,300 as you can see form the picture at the Top. once they are all 300. Go to sleep. Wake up with an Egg on your pillow.


I really hope this guide helps out everyone who needs this achievement. It took me hours before I settled on just using CE to try it and even with it....learning that the addresses change each game. To learning Wiki is wrong on some cases, to just being dealt bad RNG profiles that maybe make you run out of days without getting all 4 known values. I learned how each address used same (mostly same) characters. I discovered easier and more straight foward ways to find the values for you and this all took me the better part of 6+ hours of nothing but NG+ over and over and trying to figure it out. This achievement pissed me off and I know if you are reading this it pissed you off too. Congrats on your 100% or soon to be 100%.

P.S Sorry if this layout is trash. legit my first ever guide and I don't know how to manipulate spacing lol. Any spelling errors and the such...I guess I will try to edit them out later. Typing this guide out took me 6 hours. I played thru the game again to replicate the Egg achievement to be able to take these screenshots for you. Hope they helped. Bye!
