I have tried to get this achievement on Goodbye Deponia, but everytime I attempt it, it doesn't unlock. I am sure I am getting all of the platypus eggs, but when I get the last one, no achievement. All the other achievements have been unlocking fine. I had a similar issue with Cheater and Pin-Up Goal on Deponia 2, but that was achieved by rolling back the version. I attempted the same thing for Deponia 3, but I hadn't seen any difference in the behavior. If there is a particular series of events that need to occur to unlock this one, would somebody tell me? I have seen that some have unlocked it through GOG and am curious how they are doing it. Thanks.

Nevermind. After another attempt at rolling back, collecting all the eggs, and then updating the game (similar to the Deponia 2 achievements) it finally worked. I had attempted this method twice in a row without it working. Apparently, the third time was the charm. It finally unlocked. Thanks all the same. If anybody has questions regarding the method I used, I am happy to provide the details in another post.
Could you please detail how you got the achievement?

1. I downgraded the game to 3.2.3320.
2. Started a new game with a blank Savegames folder.
3. I saved both before collecting the last egg and after, and backed up the entire save folder each time.
4. Neither set of saves unlocks the achievement when loaded in the latest version (3.3.3335). Deleting profile.dat before doing that didn't help either.
5. I downgraded again, loaded the last existing save, made a new save.
6. Updated again, loaded the last save. Still no achievement.

I can't keep going back and forth between versions hoping that the achievement unlocks at random. I've written to Daedalic support, but considering the last patch is 4 years old and the previous two games also have bugged achievements, I'm not very optimistic about a reply.

Yeah, it was annoying going back and forth for me as well. I think the one last thing that I tried which may contribute to the fix is using a savegame from the Daedalic support page.

https://www.daedalicsupport.com/en/games/goodbye-deponia/savegames.html

1. Get a savegame from the 3.2.4.3324 version. This may have been what worked for me. Use a save that still allows you to get all the eggs.

2. Then once you are sure the eggs are all found. Update the game to the latest version.

3. Go to the profile page where the eggs show up in the game.

This is where it unlocked for me. But I found that using a savegame that is naturally created from the game itself, was not working. Using a save from the site for the older version and then updating is somehow what worked for me. I hope this is helpful. Let me know if it works.

Thank you so much! I'm happy to say that downgrading the game isn't necessary. The Daedalic support site offers saves from version 3.2.4.3324 which is not available here on GOG (we can downgrade to 3.2.3320). Since neither the latest version nor the second-to-last one work, this is impossible to unlock without their save files.

Step-by-step directions should anyone need them:
1. Find your saves folder. In Windows, open File Explorer and enter the following into the address bar: %LocalAppData%\Daedalic Entertainment\Deponia 3\Savegames
2. Move everything there elsewhere for safekeeping.
3. Download savegame08 (Laundry Minigame) from version 3.2.4.3324 from the Daedalic support site into your saves folder.
4. Load the save and collect the 15 eggs. If you haven't memorized their location by now, see A guide to Ornithorhynchologist achievement.

Good to know. After so much trial and error, it's good to know what the real solution is. I wish this was determined when I was trying to unlock it. =)

Thanks for the solution Ice_Mage and Excifer. I'd like to confirm that there is no need to downgrade or start from scratch. I just loaded the laundry savefile and picked the egg there. It unlocked the achievement; probably because I'd already found all 15 before.

Now I am thinking maybe we didn't need to downgrade in Chaos on Deponia either, but there is no way for me to test it.
