Introduction
This guide was written specifically for people who have already played through the 2nd game of "The Complete Journey" and now need to go back for the Collecting Agent and/or Pin-up Goal achievement(s). Players of the standalone "Chaos on Deponia" should be able to use this guide as well, as long as they can get past the fact that i won't be explaining why the Chapters start at IV (it's a "Complete Journey" thing... i think).

The steps here are presented in short and sweet form so you can zip straight through without having to try to remember everything you need to do to reach the items; it's less a "walkthrough" than a "sprint-through" (all rights reserved on that word i just made up*). It's designed to be followed from start to finish, so if any step doesn't make sense or doesn't work for you, that probably means you missed something, and you'll have to figure out for yourself what that something was.

* (in 2017)

If you're ONLY after Collecting Agent, you can start at the beginning of Chapter V; if you want Pin-Up Goal (and/or if you intend to try for Animal Lover on this run), you need to start a new game at Chapter IV.

If you're looking for help with anything other than Collecting Agent or Pin-Up Goal, you're better off consulting another guide. Might i suggest this one?

what's a "sprint-through"?
I am SO glad you asked. When i write a walkthrough, i include hints and context, i group my instructions by quest, and i try to only put one instruction per step.

Conversely, in a sprint-through:
  • instructions are VERY terse and assume you already know your way around
  • multiple instructions may be included within one step
  • there are NO HINTS given
  • there is practically NO CONTEXT given
  • there are NO spoiler tags
  • steps MUST be done IN THE ORDER LISTED to avoid confusion
  • if you miss an instruction, i do NOT help you try to figure out which one
  • instructions are grouped by LOCATION (rather than by quest) to minimize walking around
  • emphasis is on SPEED rather than enjoyment or puzzle solving!!!
...i just realized that sounds A LOT like some of the guides out there that were so dismally unhelpful that i felt compelled to spend hundreds of hours of my life writing three full walkthroughs (one of which is linked below). Ah well. Hopefully my unhelpful mini-guide is less unhelpful than theirs. Fingers crossed!

This sprint-through was designed for people who...
  • ...have already played through the game
  • ...need to go back to earn one or both of the long, drawn-out missable achievements
  • ...are in a hurry
If any of this sounds unappealing to you, please take a look at my full walkthrough:
http://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=885382370
what's "Collecting Agent"?
To earn this achievement, you must amass 26 items in your inventory (easier summarized than done).

If you haven't yet completed at least one playthrough of the game, i recommend you only use this guide for the list of items provided in the next section; the "sprint-through" instructions here are designed specifically to suck all the fun out of the game so you can get through it more quickly.

My full walkthrough has notes about what you should and should not do if you hope to earn this achievement; so if you have your heart set on get Collecting Agent on your first playthrough and you find the list too hard to use, that other guide may better suit your needs.

If i were you, though, i would just enjoy the game your first time through, then come back for this achievement later. The guide'll still be here.
Collecting Agent item summary
All 26 items, as described in this guide:



  • #1: Bait
  • #2: Crank
  • #3: Screwdriver
  • #5: Antenna
  • #6: Sugar Dispenser
  • #4: Remote including Cartridges
  • #7: Razorfish
  • #8: "Dead Pigeon Tango" (or other sheet music)
  • #9: Expired Pills
  • #10: The Golden Dragon of Invisibility
  • #11: Left Frame
  • #12: Sunglasses Lens
  • #13: Right Frame
  • #14: Hand-Held Vacuum Cleaner
  • #15: Candle
  • #16: Water
  • #17: Urn
  • #18: Coal
  • #19: Thread
  • #20: Bread
  • #21: Hook
  • #22: Bucket
  • #23: Field Guide
  • #24: Spade
  • #25: Earth Platypus Egg
  • #26: Water Platypus Egg

Alternate items:
  • Flying Platypus Egg instead of Crank (#2)
  • Bucket with Soil instead of Bucket (#22)
  • Lit Candle instead of Candle (#15)
  • Lint instead of Urn (#17)


If you're playing the standalone "Chaos on Deponia"...
...you might not be able to pick up the 26th item. In that case you may need to first clear space in your inventory, pick up the item, then refill that cleared space in a backhanded manner. I know of two techniques for doing this:
  1. the Sunglasses method:
    • combine Sunglasses Lens with Left or Right Frame
    • pick up 26th item
    • use Screwdriver to dismantle Frame with Lens back into 2 pieces (thereby forcing one piece into the 26th slot)
  2. the Golden Dragon method:
    • remove Golden Dragon of Invisibility from inventory by clicking or right-clicking it
    • pick up 26th item
    • enter Gadget Shop; Golden Dragon is automatically recovered, forcing it into 26th inventory slot
If you're still having trouble, please refer to this other guide written 'specially for players of the standalone version.
what's "Pin-Up Goal"?
To earn this achievement, you must collect the pieces of this jigsaw puzzle:

Your puzzle -- in whatever state of completion it may be -- can be viewed by going to the Main Menu, then clicking "Bonus" > "Puzzle." By the way, the Puzzle is completed in random order, so unfortunately you can only learn from it how many pieces you already have, not which ones.

You must collect all 12 puzzle pieces in one continuous timeline (starting at Chapter IV), without ever clicking any piece more than once. The latter means both that you can't double-click any of them, AND that you musn't create any "overlaps" when loading up save files. That is to say that if loading a save file requires you to re-collect a puzzle piece you've already clicked -- like because you picked it up it after saving your game, and it reappeared when you loaded the file -- then you've failed (see flow chart).

As an example of what a "continuous timeline" is NOT, let's say you made it to the beginning of Chapter VI before deciding to work on this achievement; if you were to collect all the pieces in VI and then go back to a save file from Chapter V to pick up the rest, it would NOT work.

If you're doing well in your pursuit of this achievement, you'll hear a musical sound each time you collect a piece. If you don't hear the musical sound when you click an item, you've probably already failed. Check your Bonus Puzzle screen for an obvious sign you're in trouble:


"Oh noes, I failed :'-( Now what?"
The first thing you should do is consider putting the work you've done so far towards Pin-Up Goal's sister achievement, Cheater (i hid that so search engines wouldn't bring people here thinking this guide was going to help them with it). If you want to learn about "that other achievement," please visit "my other walkthrough." :)

Before having another go at Pin-Up Goal, you need to start a new game from the beginning of the installment (Chapter IV). The first time i went after this achievement, i tried jumping directly to Chapter V from the world map after starting a new game. The chimes were going off with each click as if everything were okay, but then the final two items didn't make sounds and didn't register. I ended up having to start over AGAIN from Chapter IV.

If you fail Pin-Up Goal and are NOT playing "The Complete Journey," you may need to refer to a guide specifically written for the standalone "Chaos on Deponia" about these achievements; apparently there's some kind of bug in that game that makes failure permanent or some crazy thing.

"So... where are the pieces?"
To encourage the use of caution, i put the puzzle piece locations & screenshots down near the end of the guide, at the points at which i recommend you collect them (the end of Chapter V and the beginning of Chapter VI).

It's in your best interest to wait until you're almost done with Chapter V before clicking any puzzle pieces, especially if you're working on Collecting Agent. It's really easy to mess up and fail Pin-Up Goal by making a tiny mistake with your save files, so waiting until most of the legwork is done before you start clicking the pieces is a good way to avoid having to worry about that.

If you were to -- for example -- accidentally use a Collecting Agent item, then click a puzzle piece after that, your ONLY recourse to earn both achievements at that point would be to start over (because loading up the save file from before you clicked the puzzle piece would negate Pin-Up, but continuing without the lost inventory item would negate Collecting Agent).
what's "optional (missable achievement)"?
I threw in a handful of missable achievements beyond the two big ones... mostly just the ones that could be described in one sentence fragment or less. If you need additional info about any of these mini-missables, please search for its name in my full walkthrough.

Mentioned* in this guide:
  • Animal Lover (you must play Chapter VI beyond the end of this guide to earn this one)
  • Supercool
  • Blow job
  • Endurance Test
  • Bloody Nose
  • With Love from Porta Fisco
  • T-415411293
  • Animal Husbandry
  • Pre-Paradox
* I say "mentioned" not only because my instructions are so brief, but also because the first two on the list require multiple steps, and some of those steps -- the non-missable ones and the ones that happen after the guide ends -- are not specified here.
what's "optional (Endurance Test)"?
In the instructions below, i have you kick the Gondolier's Bumper every time you pass through the Harbor; this is just to save you having to exit the Harbor and then come back 10 times in a row (which is what's required for this achievement).

Save your game after the 9th kick (in the section called "9. win Baby Goal"), just in case you counted wrong -- the instruction that immediately follows it (in the section called "10. win Lady Goal") makes your next kick your last.

collect puzzle pieces
If you were holding off 'til the end of the Chapter before collecting the Pin-Up pieces as i recommended, now would be a good time to go get them. I've listed them below in the "speediest" order. Once you're done at the Dock (following collection of piece #2), use Town Map to jump to Bellevue.

Chapter V Puzzle Pieces:
  1. Dock > Gadget Shop (on "!" box on left side)
  2. Dock > Bozo's Cutter (stuck to window on right side)
  3. Bellevue > Old Town (condiment label on table)
  4. Marketplace (on orange counter between Bellevue and Dark Alley)
  5. Dark Alley > Rebel Hideout (near game board on lower left)

    The next three are at the end of the list because they can be picked up during the chapter "finale" described in the next section (they can also be picked up now, if you prefer extra walking to risk-taking -- i know i do). Make sure you save your game after you pick up the first five puzzle pieces just in case you space out and miss your chance(s) at any of these:

  6. Harbor > Tavern (on shelf by bottle closest to bathroom)
  7. Doc's Replacement Parts Store (on shelf near Lamp)
  8. Doc's Office (near window under entrance)

The pieces associated with the Dock -- the ones aboard Bozo's Cutter and inside the Gadget Shop -- CANNOT be collected in chapter VI.
finish Chapter V
Remember that the way to avoid messing up Pin-Up Goal is to avoid clicking any piece more than once. So if you reach Doc's Replacement Parts Store and realize you forgot to collect piece #6 when you were at step 2 -- and therefore have to go back to a save file -- DO NOT click piece #7 before loading the save!

steps
  1. go to Weapons Shop, say "You're not going to give up just like that are you?" to Bozo
  2. after Gondolier death scene, go to Tavern.

    This is where puzzle piece #6 is; once you win Platypus Bataka, it can no longer be collected.

  3. use line on Spunky Goal; pass (or skip) minigame.

    After cutscene (Spunky Goal victory), you're in Doc's Replacement Parts Store, where puzzle piece #7 is. You can't return to this room once you leave it in step 5.

  4. click Door behind Janosch
  5. use Liebold's Remote on Liebold, enter Mysterious Anomaly.
  6. say "I want proof" to Future Rufus, then pick any option from the next menu, then say "Oh well. I'll go rescue Goal, then."

    This puts you in Doc's Office, where puzzle piece #8 is; be sure to collect it before entering Lock in step 12.

  7. open Drawer and take Remotes
  8. mention "remote" to Goal, then mention "champagne"
  9. combine Cartridge with Donna's Remote (the blue one), then use it on Donna
  10. collect Crowbar and Weapon
  11. optional (missable achievement "Pre-Paradox"): enter Mysterious Anomaly
  12. go to Lock, use Crowbar on Electrodes
  13. tell Past Rufus "Zeeblezooble"
  14. click Clock
  15. in the conversation with Donna-Goal, just keep picking the last option on every menu until the next chapter starts

@everyone: to preserve what's left of my sanity, i'm now only attending to these guides once per year. Expect potentially loooong delays in response times <3

@drogerson, thank you for the feedback!! Sorry for the late reply; for my excuse, see previous paragraph :)

Worked perfectly! Much Thanks!

Thank you both so much for the positive feedback!!! @Natrea, i'm sorry it took me so long to respond... i'm not sure what happened there.

I've just made huge changes to this guide, adding Pin-Up Goal and a few other missables to it. I know you don't care about that, because you're done with this stuff... i just wanna mark when the big change happened, and be honest about the fact that your kind words were in reference to the old version of the guide (in which only Collecting Agent was covered).
