Aurelia: How Do Drink with Orson
Short answer
Go to users/your user/appdata/local/aurelia look for your latest save, there will be a file that ends with .save and one that doesnt, open the one that doesnt with a text editor, look for "achie_gossip" replace whatever number is between the quotation marks with 1.000000 so it looks like this…
What you need to know
The “Drink with Orson” achievement is tied to a hidden flag in your save file. By editing the save data you can set that flag to the completed state, causing the achievement to unlock the next time you load the game. The edit only affects the most recent save and does not alter any other game content.
Step by step
- Close Aurelia – Make sure the game is not running. If you are using Steam, sign out of your Steam account after closing the game (this extra step helps the change register on Windows 10).
- Locate the save folder – Open File Explorer and navigate to
(You can also typeC:\Users\\AppData\Local\Aurelia%AppData%in the address bar, then go up one level to Local and open the Aurelia folder.) - Identify the correct files – Inside the folder you will see two files for your latest save: one with a
.saveextension and one without any extension. The extension‑less file is the plain‑text version you need to edit. - Back up the file – Copy the extension‑less file to another location and rename it (e.g.,
save_backup.txt). This gives you a safety net in case something goes wrong. - Edit the file – Open the extension‑less file in a simple text editor such as Notepad.
- Find the achievement flag – Search for the string
achie_gossip. You will see something like:achie_gossip="0.000000" - Change the value – Replace the number between the quotation marks with
1.000000so the line reads:achie_gossip="1.000000" - Save the changes – Save the file and close the editor.
- Restart the game – Launch Aurelia again (you may need to sign back into Steam first). Load the save you just edited.
- Unlock the achievement – Open the in‑game achievement menu; the “Drink with Orson” achievement should now appear as unlocked.
Tips
- Always edit the most recent save; older saves will not affect the current achievement state.
- If the achievement does not appear immediately, try opening the achievement screen again or restarting the game once more.
- Keep the backup file handy; you can restore it by replacing the edited file if you ever need to revert to the original state.
- The same method works for other hidden achievement flags that use a similar
achie_naming pattern.

Other suggestions
For me this is one which I got, but didn't try for it. So I can only speculate how to get it. Did you get the news from him? You can do this something like six times.
Method by Kuro above works. Just that I had to go into their in-game achievement menu then it pop. Could have saved good 30mins wondering if I did it right.
So...update on this. I tired the file adjustment bug fix posted by Kuro4035, If the game is closed then the file is updated and the game is re-launched it will NOT necessarily fix the issue (Running on win10), an extra few steps were needed. 1- close the game. 2- sign out of your steam account. 3- open the save file from users/your user/appdata/local/aurelia by searching %AppData% on your…
