Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for 'The Ideal Soup' in Thank Goodness You're Here!, guiding you from saving Charlie to the game's conclusion with detailed steps and tips.
Walkthrough
- 1After saving Charlie, return to Mother Megg’s Buttery Goods and slap Ronny to earn the 'Sick as a Fig' achievement.
- 2Jump down the hole Charlie made. As you navigate the pipes, break the Commemorative plate by passing under it four times.
- 3You'll arrive at Marge’s Chippie. Jasper needs his spanner, screwdriver, and hammer to fix the fryer.
- 4Jasper's Spanner:
- 5Head to the fishmonger, Bish. Before that, collect the three singing mice (2/3) behind Mother Megg's and hit the postbox (3/6) in the parking lot.
- 6Go to Price Shaggers and knock everything off the shelves to get the 'A Fine Mess' achievement (this is your only chance).
- 7Navigate Bumberly Cl: climb boxes, trash cans, a ladder, and a pole to reach the roof.
- 8Enter the first chimney, get pushed into a house, spread soot, and exit through the window.
- 9In the garden, fix the water hose for the gardener by following it to a well. Jump down and slap the right wall to reveal a tunnel.
- 10Follow the hose through the tunnel, up boxes, and through the ceiling to the fishmonger's shop.
- 11Turn on the sink to fill the hose. Then, enter the fish display and slap each fish until cigarettes appear to earn the 'Done up like a Kipper' achievement. The spanner is in the second fish on the bottom row.
- 12Go to Sam's Ham shop. Enter the meat grinder to reach a new area.
- 13Explore this area: head left to the trash, then along houses to a postbox (4/6).
- 14Go down and left to the van food stall. Slap the owner to close the shutters for the 'Cheek to Cheek' achievement (1/3). Repeat this whenever the stall is open.
- 15Head up to Rog's Veg Hole and hit the trash bags and trash can to find the last singing mice (3/3), unlocking 'The Rat Pack' achievement.
- 16Go to Big Ron's Big Pies. Next to the Oily Baps cart is a postbox (5/6).
- 17Return to Ron's. Since there's no meat, go to Sam's Ham the long way around due to blocked roads.
- 18In the garden, turn on the water to grow a tomato. Charlie will appear and leave through a fence hole; follow him to the river bank.
- 19Cross the river bank to a roof. Jump on the cracked area of the roof to make a hole. Interact with the tree to talk to an owl (part of 'Friend of the Forest').
- 20Head towards the two houses. Between them is a postbox (6/6), completing the 'No Post on Thuesdays' achievement.
- 21Open the white door to the right, go through, climb the ladder, and clean the gutters by jumping on the gunk. You'll go through a pipe back to the first area.
- 22Before returning to Marge's Chippie, visit Thumbitt Inn and hit the police box.
- 23Jasper's Screwdriver:
- 24Go to Price Shaggers. Climb the shelves and push down the rat poison to deal with mice and knock down a ceiling panel.
- 25Go through the panel. Head left to a mouse guarding a door. Jump across the hole and right, climbing boxes.
- 26Slap the cardboard wall to open a new room. Push the ball of cheese left to distract the mouse.
- 27Go through the door into the mouse version of Price Shaggers. Get behind the till and break through the floor.
- 28Follow Jasper back to the Chippie.
