Look Outside - How To Get Ernest To Join The Party And Unlock The Very Rare Beggar Achievement!
2In order to unlock the Beggar achievement and get Ernest to join the party, you have to feed him a few times throughout the course of the game. I just want to note that this was a VERY long process, and I created a side save game I can throw away after he joined. This took me almost 9 days in-game, and that whole time all I did was play video games or do the Crossword puzzle. Now that I have the achievement, I am going to go back to my other save to try to get the other achievements I am missing. Having Ernest show up at the door feels VERY RNG heavy.
As you pass time in your apartment, you will get a knock at the door every now and then. This is one of the biggest RNG factors in the game, and there are a lot of NPCs (and possible party members) that could be the one knocking. When you answer the door, if you see a hairy, dirty, odd-looking man at the door, this is Ernest. Say "Hello" to him, and open the door for him.
Ernest will ask you if you can spare some food, so choose to do so, BUT, make sure that in the description in the food that it says it is "very filling." Once you give Ernest some food, he will thank you and leave. Now, you must play the waiting game. As time (and days) pass by, keep checking the door when you get a knock at it. Answer the door, and if it is Ernest again, repeat the same process. ALSO, make sure to invite him inside before giving him food after the first time. If he still doesn't trust you, he will decline, so just feed him again.
After a few times of feeding him (probably reliant on how filling the food is, since some will say that the food is "somewhat filling"), he will accept your invitation to come inside, joining the party, and unlocking the achievement! It took me 2 visits of feeding him food that was "Very Filling" for him to join, which means it took 3 visits altogether. Good luck! This one is a pain....
