If you have any new information on those beautiful purple achievements, don't hesitate and write a comment! Some of these achievements come from amazing people.

Have 4 golden cookies simultaneously.

• Have a total of ~520 Wizard Towers
  
• Wait until you have full magic (100)
  
• (Optional) Wait for a double golden cookie spawn (from the Distilled Essence of Redoubled Luck)
  
• Use Force the Hand of Fate
  
• Sell 500 Wizard Towers (keep ~20)
  
• You should have enough magic to use Force the Hand of Fate again
  
• Buy 500 Wizard Towers
  
• Use a Sugar Lump to refill the magic
  
• Use Force the Hand of Fate one more time
  
  
  If you still don't have 4 Golden Cookies
  
  
• Sell again those 500 Wizard Towers (keep ~20)
  
• Use Force the Hand of Fate again

P.S.

• Wait for a Golden Cookie to spawn before you do this strategy, so you don't have to worry about running out of magic.
  
• I have multiple saves with different Wizard Tower levels, once you upgraded pass level 10 it's going to be harder to get this achievement, since the price of the spell also increase, so please try to do this achievement at Wizard Tower level 1-5.

Here is a little video to help you if still have trouble:

Click 27,777 golden cookies.

Just be patient and I hope you have nothing to do with your day... or the next 100 days, this can be done easily when you ascend or just stare at the game 10 hours to click every single golden cookie.

Harvest a golden sugar lump.

The chance of getting a golden sugar lump is 0.075% or 1 in 1333.
This can be improve with the aura Dragon's Curve which almost doubles it to 0.1466% or 1 in 682.

Ascend 1,000 times

Well... at this point you should know that you really like this game so much... unless you cheated, which is the worst thing to ever do in this game and you should feel ashamed of yourself.

Hack in some cookies

1. Open the following file:
   
   Cookie Clicker\resources\app\start.js
2. You can use Notepad, Notepad++, in this case I used Visual Studio Code so you can find easily the highlighted text.
   Once you opened the file search: win.loadFile
   You should have found something like this:
   
   
   
   
   
   Keep in mind that the number of that specific line might be different since they are adding new things on each update.
   
   
3. The line that has:
   
   if (DEV) win.webContents.openDevTools();
   change it to
   
   //if (DEV) win.webContents.openDevTools();
   
   At the end you should have something like:
   
   
   
4. Save the File and launch the game
   
   
5. Now that is opened you should have a new window next to the game:
   
   
6. Go to the Console and now you can use any cheat that you have used on the Website version, here are some examples:.
   

Keep in mind that:
• The game won't close until you close the Console.
  
• If you want to remove the Console, go back to the start.js and just change
  
  //if (DEV)
  to:
  
  if (DEV)
• If you don't know what the Console does, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS
  You can easily get all Steam achievements and there is no turning back, I highly suggest you that you play on the Website version and try all different commands before ruining your game.

• Open the console on your browser and use one of these to get the achievement:
  • Game.RuinTheFun();
    
  • Game.Earn(999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999);
• Change your name to end with saysopensesame. So if you set your name to 'Tom', you should change it to 'Tom saysopensesame'. This will open the Debug Menu/Tools:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Once is open, you can use the x10 button until it gives your the achievement.

Name yourself Orteil

Use an Add-on

There are some guides to do this on the Website as well on Steam, go find one and have fun!

Ascend with exactly 1 trillion cookies




I just kept thinking about this achievement and how this is the easiest achievement of them all.
(Inside of the category that are time consuming)
But I really doubt it how people can see this easy:

• Just don't buy cursor and clicking upgrades.
  
• Keep an eye on those Cookies Per Second.
  
• You only need to buy buildings and start selling them once you get close to 1 trillion.

This achievement probably will not be achieve on the first run, be patient and good luck!

• I Get 1 million cookies baked in 35 minutes.
  
• II Get 1 million cookies baked in 25 minutes.
  
• III Get 1 million cookies baked in 15 minutes.

There is a chance that you can do this achievement once you started the game if you are lucky enough to get a Golden Cookie Frenzy before the deadline passes. Just click like crazy and real fast so you can finally do it.

• How Do I click faster?

• Just press Shift + Alt + Numlock to enable Mouse Keys on 5 and + keys on the numpad as click buttons, this might help you a lot to get this achievement.

Keep in mind that this achievement requires No heavenly upgrades in any case that you want to do it in the easy way.

This can be attempted many times by changing the Challenge mode using the cookie next to the Reincarnate button to Born Again:












As you can see, there is a reason that it says "Some achievements are only available in this mode."
This as well for those runs to get True Neverclick and Hardcore which is an achievement that requires you to get 1 billion cookies without purchasing any upgrade, just buildings.

Make 1 million cookies with no cookie clicks.

• This can be only done by waiting 5-15 minutes for those sweet Golden Cookies
  
• Once you waited enough (At least 30 minutes and clicked 2 Golden Cookies) you should buy now Cursors
  
• Might take a while but once you have enough cursors and kept your eyes on the screen for 1 hour straight you can now be at ease since now is just matter of time and patient.
  
• I highly recommend to not minimized the window of the game, there might be a chance to accidentally click the big cookie and it would be Game Over start again.

Have a lot of time to kill, patient and Good luck!
(Yes this achievement doesn't require a lot of explanation)

Keep in mind that this achievement requires No heavenly upgrades in any case that you want to do it in the easy way.

This can be attempted many times by changing the Challenge mode using the cookie next to the Reincarnate button to Born Again:

You have 1 chance in 500,000 every second of earning this achievement.

Have you ever wondered if you are lucky enough?
Well... this achievement will tell you the answer.
P.S: You don't have to do anything at all, just play the game.

Burst the near-extinct shiny wrinkler.





They have a 1/10000 chance (0.01%) of spawning instead of a normal wrinkler.

Just keep popping those normal wrinklers and Good luck!

Manage a cookie legacy for at least a year.

Have your legacy be started a year ago.
As in, don't have wiped your entire save for a year.


At the time of this guide being made, I hope it was worth it to play this game all the way to
September-2022

So... Some fast steps are:

• While the game is closed:

1. Forward your machine time/date 1 year.
   
2. Open the game. You should get new messages about how many cookies you got and the achievement:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Once you get the achievement you can return your time/date to normal and still have it.

• I didn't encounter any problem with getting new sugar lumps but there is some possibility that you will have to wait the same amount of time you skipped to collect other sugar lumps.
  
• Let's see how lucky you are with this one.

Have your stock market profits surpass a whole year of CpS ($31.536 million).



There is a lot, and I mean it, a lot of strategies for this one, probably the hardest shadow achievement on this game. I highly suggest you to check out the Stock Market strategies. I will not waste anyone times here with a bad strategy and make them lose their time.


Yes, the best strategy at this moment is to check: KarmicChaos's Guide,
Probably is the most completed guide about the Market on Steam, so check it out.

So... as you can see some of these achievements are luck based, as well time consuming.

I didn't want to make an "easy strategy" for the last one since I'm not really into the Stock Market of this game and obviously it would be a bad strategy.

P.S. This game is 8 years old, I started to play it in 2014 and stopped by 2016. I highly recommend you to be patient with those achievements and enjoy the game before you start to use some cheats. It has had so many updates that I've missing a lot of them, that's why I'm away from the Stock Market. Have fun and just make cookies by clicking.
