To unlock the True Friends achievement and access the Secret Ending in WendyQuest, you’ll need to replay the game while deliberately avoiding several crucial story events. The key here is to ignore Frygor’s instructions and find alternate ways to progress without completing the quests he assigns.
You won’t have to finish the entire game without party members. Some characters will join you automatically, allowing you to utilize their abilities without triggering the traditional quest pathways. The focus lies on avoiding certain meetings that you would typically encounter during a standard playthrough.
This guide will detail how to secure the True Friends achievement by skipping critical story events, bypassing Frygor’s quests, and defeating the final bosses. Make sure to start a fresh game for this route — a previous playthrough won’t work.
You don’t have to finish the entire game without party members. Some characters will join automatically, and you can still use their abilities. The important part is to skip certain meetings and story events that normally happen during a regular playthrough.
In this guide, I will show you how to get the True Friends achievement and Secret Ending in WendyQuest by skipping key story events, avoiding Frygor’s quests, and defeating the final bosses.
Important: Start a fresh save for this achievement. If you’ve already completed the game, you’ll need another playthrough to follow this route.
The Hidden Prophecy (Optional) Before embarking on the secret route, there’s a hidden prophecy that can be discovered in the base game. While it’s not confirmed as a requirement for the True Friends achievement, it provides insight into the necessary steps. After acquiring the Frosty Stone and unlocking the boat, head to the question-mark-shaped island in the upper-right section of the map where you’ll find Exclamation Mark Cave. You’ll need to sneak past the Mech Guards inside, as fighting them is not an option.
Before starting the secret route, you can discover a hidden prophecy in the base game. This isn’t confirmed to be a requirement for the True Friends achievement, but it explains what you need to do.
Upon exiting the cave, you’ll arrive at a shrine room filled with achievement chests that unlock as you complete certain milestones.
The milestones are as follows:
| Milestone | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Longest Critical Hit Streak | 5 |
| Critical Hits | 25 |
| Enemy KOs | 100 |
| Critical Hits | 150 |
| Enemy KOs | 400 |
| Loot Chests Found | 50 |
| Food Items Consumed | 25 |
| Hero Idols Found | 16 |
| Corner Stones Found | 2 |
| Corner Stones Found | 4 |
| Total Gold Looted | 1,250 |
As you play, you’ll typically fulfill most of these milestones. However, collecting 16 Hero Idols will require some additional effort.
Once you’ve opened the relevant achievement chests (barring the Loot Goblin achievement chest), talk to Dave at the shrine.
He will disclose another section of the hidden prophecy:
To the hero that has won with ease,
To the one with more to seek…
Begin anew with no one to please,
Go alone without the weak.
And in the end you are sure to see.
What it means to truly be free.
This offers critical insight. Start your new run while consciously skipping the typical story events that Frygor directs you towards.
At the end of the cave, you’ll reach a shrine room containing several achievement chests. These chests unlock after you complete specific milestones.
The required milestones include:
| Milestone | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Longest Critical Hit Streak | 5 |
| Critical Hits | 25 |
| Enemy KOs | 100 |
| Critical Hits | 150 |
| Enemy KOs | 400 |
| Loot Chests Found | 50 |
| Food Items Consumed | 25 |
| Hero Idols Found | 16 |
| Corner Stones Found | 2 |
| Corner Stones Found | 4 |
| Total Gold Looted | 1,250 |
Most of these requirements will come naturally while playing. However, collecting 16 Hero Idols might take some extra effort.
Here’s the map location for all Hero Idols:
A few things to remember when collecting Hero Idols:
- You’ll need the airship to reach some of the locations.
- Some map markers won’t actually reward you with an idol.
- One idol is very close to another, so their map markers overlap. Check the surrounding area for the missing one.
- After rescuing Elder Frosty, speak to her. She can give you an additional Hero Idol.
- Check Caffeine Caverns for a hidden room in the bottom-left area. Its location is marked with a chest icon on the cavern map.
Additional tip: If you’re replaying the game, you can visit the Elder’s house in Part 2 and activate the switch yourself. This opens the secret compartment containing an idol, so you don’t have to return later.
Once you’ve opened the required achievement chests (except the Loot Goblin achievement chest), speak to Dave at the shrine.
He’ll reveal another part of the hidden prophecy:
To the hero that has won with ease,
To the one with more to seek…
Begin anew with no one to please,
Go alone without the weak.
And in the end you are sure to see.
What it means to truly be free.
This is your clue. Start a new run and avoid the normal story events that Frygor keeps pushing you toward.
Part 1: Ignore the Find Frygor Quest
After completing the opening tutorial sections, you’ll receive the objective Find Frygor.
Don’t follow it.
Instead, continue exploring and fight Frydusa on your own.
She’s the first boss, so the fight shouldn’t be too difficult. However, I recommend gaining a few levels and carrying enough fries to avoid becoming Soggy during the battle.
You can visit the Wendy’s restaurant in town to restock supplies. Just stay away from Frygor.
After defeating Frydusa, Frygor will catch up with you and join your party anyway. This is supposed to happen, so don’t worry about it.
Pay attention to Wendy’s dialogue after the fight. She’ll comment on how long you took to reach and defeat Frydusa. These unusual time-related comments are a good sign that you’re following the secret route.
You’ll also receive the I Can Do This All By Myself achievement for defeating Frydusa alone.
Part 1: Ignore the Find Frygor Quest After completing the initial tutorial sections, your goal will be to Find Frygor . Don’t follow this objective; instead, proceed to explore and take on Frydusa independently. This will be your first boss encounter and shouldn’t pose much of a challenge. I suggest leveling up a bit and stocking up on fries to dodge the Soggy effect during the fight.
You can replenish your supplies at the Wendy’s restaurant in town, but stay away from Frygor.
Upon defeating Frydusa, Frygor will inevitably catch up with you and join your party, which is expected.
Wendy’s dialogue following the fight will reference the time it took you to defeat Frydusa. Such references are cues indicating you’re on the right secret path.
You’ll acquire the I Can Do This All By Myself achievement for triumphing against Frydusa solo.
Part 2: Avoid Reuniting with Frostyna
Continue following the primary story until you revive Tatoria and obtain the Fry Stone. When prompted to Reunite with Frostyna, resist the urge to go her way.
Upon entering Chillcrest, navigate left instead of heading right to Frostyna’s location.
You might notice the screen glitching as you try to exit town, which signals you’re on the correct path.
Frygor will urge you to meet Frostyna. Respond by ignoring him and persisting towards the left exit.
Eventually, he’ll become frustrated and leave to find Frostyna on his own, allowing her to join your party and letting you continue the story. You don’t have to actively keep Frostyna from joining; just avoid the regular meeting sequence.
You may notice the screen starting to glitch as you attempt to leave town. That’s a sign you’re heading in the right direction.
Frygor will keep telling you to meet Frostyna. Ignore him and continue trying to leave through the left exit.
Eventually, he’ll get frustrated and go find Frostyna himself. She’ll then join your party, allowing you to continue the story.
Part 3: Skip the Meeting with Chomps
As you advance, Sir Chicken will automatically join your party. This is seamless, so just continue without concern.
When you receive the objective to meet Chomps, don’t head to Nuggedor; instead, make your way directly to the Cauldron of Sauce.
Frygor will insist that you meet Chomps first. Once again, ignore his advice and direct your route toward the top-left area within the Cauldron of Sauce.
Look for the wall typically broken by Chomps after your meeting. Attempt to reach that area without triggering the meeting, and after several efforts, the game will glitch, placing Chomps right there with the wall already down. Now you can proceed into that area and continue your adventure, with the option to stop by town to replenish your supplies.
Part 4: Leave Sunrise Bay Without Talking to Eggward
Progress through the main objectives until you get to Sunrise Bay.
You will be prompted to talk to Eggward as you enter the town; be cautious not to accidentally trigger his cutscene.
Instead of approaching Eggward, move to the right side of the town and head towards the upper end of the map.
Once you reach the top, strive to exit town without speaking to him.
Frygor will attempt to send you back to Eggward repeatedly, so just keep ignoring him. Eventually, you’ll be allowed to exit town without completing the conversation.
Warning: If you mistakenly trigger Eggward’s cutscene, close the game immediately with Alt + F4 before it autosaves. If the scene is saved, you may need to restart your run.
Part 5: Don’t Visit Baconator’s Son
This part is quite simple to bypass.
Keep progressing until you encounter Baconator. At this point, you’ll receive a direction to check on Baconator’s Son.
Just avoid entering Baconator’s house.
Part 6: Infiltrate the Office
Now that you’ve skipped the previous events, make your way towards the office.
No drastic changes are needed for this section. Just follow the main objectives as you navigate the remaining areas.
Along the way, more peculiar glitches involving Frygor may appear.
You will eventually reach the entrance to the office before the showdown with MechBorg.
If you’ve previously opened all relevant achievement chests, you can check your progress by talking to Dave at the shrine.
He should respond differently if you’ve followed the hidden prophecy route accurately.
One important note: Dave’s unique comments about your path may only surface during your first inquiry regarding the prophecy. Save this conversation until the end of your run if you wish to use it as confirmation.
After that, defeat MechBorg to proceed.
After the main boss fight concludes, Frygor will express his frustration over your decision to skip various story events and will ultimately remove himself from your party.
This is precisely what you’re aiming for.
Part 7: Defeat Frygor and Get the True Friends Achievement
Just one final battle remains.
Once you’ve beaten the main boss, you’ll face Frygor himself.
This battle is manageable, so direct your focus on defeating him. After the fight, the storyline will unfold further.
Important Tips and Answers for True Friends Before you embark on this route, here are a few helpful details from other players that you should be aware of to prevent a total playthrough restart. Do I need to start a new game to get True Friends? Yes, you must create a fresh save file. The achievement requires you to bypass specific story events throughout the game; completing it normally and attempting to switch routes afterward won’t suffice.
Can I use party member abilities?
Absolutely! You can still utilize and upgrade your party members’ abilities without needing to complete every battle without their assistance. Observations on Wendy’s timer comments after the boss fights will help assure you’re following the intended route.
What happens if I accidentally trigger Eggward’s cutscene?
Close the game immediately with Alt + F4 before the autosave occurs. If the cutscene is recorded, a fresh run may be necessary.
Do I need to collect every Hero Idol for the hidden prophecy?
No, only 16 Hero Idols are necessary to unlock the essential achievement chest. More idols exist in the game, but obtaining all of them isn’t pivotal for this route.
Where can I find the last Hero Idol?
Check Caffeine Caverns on the Breakfast Island. The bottom-left area of the cavern map will display a chest icon pointing to a hidden room. Additionally, remember that Elder Frosty can give you an additional idol post-rescue.
What is the Rebellious Phase achievement?
This separate achievement can be earned at the very beginning of a new game. After losing to the Mech Double and having Elder Tater kidnapped, you’ll be left with only 1 HP. When Wendy advises you to eat a burger to recover, ignore her directions and keep attempting to exit the area until you receive the Rebellious Phase achievement.
Frygor will continue trying to send you back to Eggward, but keep ignoring him. Eventually, the game will let you leave without completing the meeting.
Warning: If you accidentally trigger Eggward’s cutscene, try closing the game immediately with Alt + F4 before it autosaves. The game saves progress quite aggressively, so you might have to restart the run if the scene gets saved.
Part 5: Don’t Visit Baconator’s Son
This is probably the easiest story event to skip.
Continue progressing until you meet Baconator. After that, you’ll eventually receive an objective to check on Baconator’s Son.
Don’t enter Baconator’s house.
Frygor will try to convince you to visit the house, but keep moving forward without going inside.
As long as you avoid the house and don’t trigger the event involving Baconator’s Son, you should be fine.
Sorry, Baconator!
Part 6: Infiltrate the Office
Once you’ve skipped the previous story events, you can continue toward the office.
There isn’t much else you need to do differently here. Just follow the main objectives and make your way through the remaining areas.
You’ll encounter a few more strange glitches involving Frygor along the way.
Eventually, you’ll reach the office entrance, just before the fight with MechBorg.
If you’ve opened all the achievement chests earlier, you can visit the shrine and speak with Dave to check your progress.
The shrine should now give you a different response if you’ve followed the hidden prophecy route correctly.
One important detail: Dave’s special dialogue about your unusual path may only appear the first time you ask him about the prophecy. So, if you want to use this as confirmation, save that conversation until near the end of your run.
After that, continue and defeat MechBorg.
Once the main boss fight ends, Frygor will completely lose it over your decision to skip all those story events. He’ll eventually remove himself from your party.
That’s exactly what we’re looking for.
Part 7: Defeat Frygor and Get the True Friends Achievement
There’s one final fight left.
After defeating the main boss, you’ll have to face Frygor himself.
The battle isn’t particularly difficult, so just focus on defeating him. Once the fight reaches its conclusion, the story will continue.
Complete the remaining sequence, and you will receive the True Friends achievement along with the Secret Ending.
You’ll also get a short message from Wendy and the developers at the end.

Yes. You need a fresh save because the achievement requires you to avoid specific story events throughout the playthrough. Completing the game normally and then trying to change your route won’t work.
Can I use party member abilities?

No. You only need 16 Hero Idols to unlock the required achievement chest. There are more idols available in the game, but collecting all of them isn’t necessary for this part.

Can I unlock the hidden prophecy during the same playthrough?
The prophecy is optional for the True Friends route. Its main purpose is to hint at the unusual playthrough you’re about to attempt.
What is the Rebellious Phase achievement?
This is a separate achievement that you can get at the very beginning of a new game.
After losing to the Mech Double and having Elder Tater kidnapped, you’ll be left with just 1 HP. Wendy will tell you to eat a burger to recover.
