Too Many Cooks achievement in Overcooked! 2

32 2 12

Previously this was host only but apparently after a recent patch this is now obtainable by everyone playing. (Thanks to Aura Battler for this info). You'll get this naturally if you're going for the other achievements. Below is a list of levels that unlock characters in case someone needs it. To unlock the chefs you only need to finish the level with at least one star.
The chefs aren't named and the human chefs are difficult to describe in text, so for photo reference, visit here:

Too bad this glitched on me.

Same happened to me.
I have compared to my g/f's account (she got the cheeve) and we both have the same chefs unlocked, except I don't have the achievement. And I have now beat the game twice, and another time gone to each specific level to meet the requirements for each chef. .................... Still nothing

Before a patch, this achievement could only be unlocked by the host, but now, since the progress would save for all players even you are not the host, everyone can get the achievement at the same time if all players play after the patch.

That's great! I'll add it to the solution

So I was the second person, my friend was the host. We 3-star and completed all the levels yesterday yet he got this achievement while I didn't. It's stuck on 94%.

Is there any way to make it trigger? I've unlocked everything else fine as the second person and I only ever played this game a couple of days ago. Really don't want to play all through this again by myself. :(

Unfortunately I don't know for sure what the problem might be. Have you checked that you have all the ones listed above unlocked? Also have you tried hosting the game and maybe playing a few levels? Hope you get it!

Yes, went through the list and compared each cook with my friend and we've got the exact same ones. And tried playing a level with my friend and by myself on a level that would normally unlock a cook, but nothing sadly.

It doesn't register a new cook unlocked when replaying levels, even on a new save file. I might try either doing the last level by myself, going through each level that unlocks cooks, or at worst delete all my save data. bleurgh :/

Edit: Forgot to ever update this, but I pretty much had to delete my save and start from scratch and play up to where you would unlock the last cook. It sucks, but mainly you can do the bare minimum of getting one star to progress. So be aware that this may not unlock if you're the second player.

The "Beaver" chef listed above is actually a Molerat. There is a beaver in the DLC

One important note: there is a new pig chef if you get all levels 4 stars. This is not necessary for the achievement. So if you look for a list of chefs, you may find this one, but the achievement does not require the player to go so far.
