General Tips for Trophy Hunting

• Communication is Key: Many achievements, especially those related to high scores or specific level challenges, are significantly easier with clear communication among co-op partners.
• Practice Makes Perfect: Don't be discouraged if you don't get an achievement on your first try. Repetition helps you learn level layouts, ingredient spawns, and optimal workflows.
• Utilize Accessibility Options: All You Can Eat offers several accessibility features, such as increased timer duration and slower recipe decay. While these might not be available for every achievement (especially those tied to specific star ratings), they can be invaluable for practicing mechanics or completing levels with less pressure.
• Solo vs. Co-op: Some achievements are designed for solo play, while others are much more manageable (or even require) multiple chefs. We'll specify when a particular approach is recommended.

Story Mode Achievements

These achievements are primarily earned by progressing through the main campaigns of Overcooked! and Overcooked! 2, as well as their respective DLCs.

Overcooked! 1 Campaign

• Festive Foodie: Earn 3 stars on all levels from a specific seasonal update (e.g., Spring Festival).
  • Walkthrough: Achieve 3 stars on all levels within a given seasonal update. These levels can be quite challenging due to their unique mechanics and often tight scoring requirements.

Miscellaneous Achievements

These achievements are not tied to story progression but rather to specific actions or cumulative efforts.

• The Floor is Lava: Complete a level without walking on the floor (e.g., using only moving platforms, conveyor belts, or throwing).
  • Walkthrough: This is best attempted on levels with abundant conveyor belts or moving platforms.
    1. Recommended Level: Overcooked! 2, World 2-2 (Sushi level with conveyor belts) or any level with significant throwing opportunities.
    2. Strategy: In 2-2, utilize the central conveyor belt to move ingredients and plates. Chefs should stay on their respective sides and throw items across the gap. In levels like 1-3 (Overcooked! 2), you can throw all ingredients and plates without touching the central "floor" area.
    3. Co-op Recommended: Much easier with two players, where one can manage one side and the other the opposite, relying on throws.
• Soup-er Chef: Serve 500 soups across all game modes.
  • Walkthrough: This is a cumulative achievement. Soups are a common early recipe in both Overcooked! 1 and 2. Just keep playing, and you'll eventually get it. Levels like Overcooked! 1, World 1-1, are good for grinding if you want to speed it up.
• Dishwasher Extraordinaire: Wash 1000 dirty plates.
  • Walkthrough: Another cumulative achievement. Always prioritize washing dishes! In levels with many plates, ensure one chef is dedicated to washing. You'll get this naturally over time.
• Fire Safety First: Extinguish 20 fires.
  • Walkthrough: Fires occur when food is left cooking for too long. To get this, intentionally let food burn (e.g., leave a pot of rice or soup on the stove). Grab the fire extinguisher (usually found on a wall mount) and spray the fire until it's out. Repeat 20 times.
• Master of the Menu: Serve every unique dish in the game at least once.
  • Walkthrough: This is a long-term achievement. You'll need to play through all campaigns and DLCs, paying attention to the various recipes introduced. There's no in-game tracker for this, so just aim to complete all levels and try out all the different recipes as they appear.
• That's a Wrap!: Complete all levels in the game (including all DLCs and Kevin levels) with at least 1 star.
  • Walkthrough: This is a meta-achievement for completing all content. Just ensure you've played through every single level available in Overcooked! All You Can Eat and achieved at least one star on each.
• The True Culinary Master: Earn 3 stars on every single level in the entire game (including all DLCs and Kevin levels).
  • Walkthrough: This is the ultimate challenge and the most difficult achievement to obtain. It requires perfection across hundreds of levels. Refer to the "Master Chef" and "Culinary Conqueror" strategies, and apply them to every single level. This will require immense practice, coordination (if playing co-op), and a deep understanding of every kitchen layout and recipe. Good luck, Chef!
