If you’re not familiar with the genre, you might get the impression that idle games lack depth. It’s true that you spend a lot of time loafing around, but Cookie Clicker is nonetheless packed with hundreds of achievements. Sure, they can be a bit repetitive at times, but that doesn’t diminish the difficulty, especially if you’re on an achievement hunt.
Some of the higher tier achievements can take time to grind, from a specific quantity of cookie-producing buildings to the total number of cookies or upgrades purchased in a single ascension. Here are the 10 hardest achievements to achieve in the game, based on Steam’s global gameplay stats.
10 Fev Cake
Who knew you could compose cookies via the JavaScript console? A total of 700 JavaScript console buildings are required to achieve the Pebcakes achievement with a completion rate of only 1.6%. If you’re wondering what the total cost is, you’ll need to scrape the 218.649 novemdecillion cookie.
If you have 770 trillion cookies per second (CpS), it will take you about an hour to buy all 700 JavaScript consoles, assuming you haven’t bought any upgrades or other buildings during that time.
9 speed game name
Players who reach this achievement will begin invading nonsensical Cookie Clicker realms. Speed’s The Name Of The Game achievement, which only has a 1.4% completion rate, requires a total of 100 CPS. A huge amount of cookies are being produced.
If you’re not a mathematician and have never heard the word septendecillion, it’s like a number. In this case, there are 102 zeros after the 100. Who needs that many cookies?
8 Green in other respects
If you don’t have enough ovens and supply doesn’t meet demand, it makes sense to start fishing cookies in another dimension. The Greener On The Other Sides achievement with a completion rate of only 1.3% costs a total of 700 idle buildings.
To get that many idle universes you have to bear the price tag of around 36.955 vigintillion. Who knows if pursuing this achievement will help you make a dent in YouTube’s ‘Watch Later’ list?
7 everyone everywhere at once
This is where things start to get a little weird. If buildings that produce cookies and upgrades that improve production aren’t enough, it’s time to clone yourself. Because people like you don’t know how to build a cookie empire.
The Everyone Everywhere All At Once achievement with a completion rate of only 1.1% requires a total of 650 You buildings. The final price tag for many clones of yourself equates to approximately 1,535 unvigintillion cookies. You can start attaching name tags to your clones to avoid confusion.
6 where is my heart
After a long day of making unfathomable cookies, the last thing you want to do is use more brainpower. Thankfully, the cortical baker you invested in protected you, and you were able to make cookies right away.
A total of 700 Cortex Baker buildings are required to complete the Where Is My Mind achievement, which only has a 1.1% completion rate. You will need to save 5,851 staggering cookies to complete this achievement. Depending on your CpS, this can take anywhere from a few hours to days or even weeks.
5 tolerance
My office space is starting to run pretty tight, but I can afford to buy a few more clones, right? Given the return on investment, workspace requirements are a small price to pay. An Introspection achievement with only 1% completion should have a total of 700 You buildings.
The total cost of all 700 buildings comes out to about 1.663 duovigintillion cookies. Wouldn’t investing in a cookie savings account be such a bad idea?
4 Often we get along.
Upgrades are a big part of the game and often greatly improve your CpS. Given the exponential nature of upgrade costs in idle games, the more upgrades you get, the more they cost.
The Oft We Mar What’s Well achievement, which only has a 1% completion rate, requires you to purchase a total of 700 upgrades. There’s no one answer to how long this will take, but investing in an Ascension perk that boosts your early game and overall CpS will help tremendously in this endeavor.
three 900th anniversary
This is where the difficulty really starts to increase. Think about all the buildings and upgrades in the game, from buildings like farms, grannies, mines, and cortex bakers to various upgrades that increase CpS or click power. Well, all of that is important for this achievement.
A Septcentennial achievement with a completion rate of only 1% requires holding 700 of everything. you’re right. Each building costs 700, for a total of 700 upgrades. If you don’t like higher electricity bills, it’s better to keep your PC on.
2 and add a little
If you’re looking at the Rainy Day Fund achievement, which only 0.9% of players completed, you’re probably already familiar with the ridiculously high cookie output and milestones. Are you ready to push forward?
You must bake at least 100 billion cookies in a single rise to achieve this achievement. If you’ve played a completely mediocre game and never used an autoclicker, you’ll be tempted to use one here.
One and add a little
That’s the big one. The achievement And A Little Extra, completed by less than 1% of all players, requires you to bake at least 1 Trevigintilion cookie in one ascent. If you keep the two pillars of idle games, time and patience, you will surely be able to achieve this final achievement.
It’s not necessarily a race, but it checks for upgrades and buildings whenever they’re available for purchase, and clicking on wrinklers, golden cookies, or other on-screen events speeds up the process. Most importantly, try not to rise too early.
