How to Get the True Neverclick Shadow Achievement on Cookie Clicker

Last Updated: October 25, 2022

On Cookie Clicker, there is a shadow achievement you can get called "True Neverclick" which recognizes that you bake one million cookies while not clicking the big cookie once. If you plan on doing this legitimately, you'll need to click on Golden Cookies at the start of your run, as you cannot click the big cookie. This wikiHow will teach you how to get this achievement.

Things You Should Know

In the bar at the bottom of the Consoles tab, type the code Game.Win('True Neverclick') to unlock True Neverclick and Game.cookiesPs = 2000000 to unlock True Neverclick, Speed Baking I, Speed Baking II, and Speed Baking III.
Or, type in the code Game.RuinTheFun() to unlock all achievements, shadow achievements, milk, heavenly upgrades, regular upgrades and more.
When golden cookies start to appear, keep clicking the cookie to gradually increase your cursors, grandmas, farms, and mines.

Click on the bar at the bottom of the console and type in one of three codes:
- Game.Win('True Neverclick');
- Game.cookiesPs = 2000000

  - The first one will only unlock True Neverclick.

Method 2

Method 2 of 2:

Using Golden Cookies

This method takes longer to achieve, and is more challenging. Remember to click any Golden Cookies that appear, for they can make a difference on what you can afford to move on to the next part of your run.

1
Open up Cookie Clicker.
2
Export and wipe your save if you have already clicked the big cookie. This shadow achievement requires you to not click the big cookie once. To wipe your save, go into the "Options" tab near the top of the page (above Stats) and click "Export save". Copy the garbled text in the textbox to a text editor (like Notepad or TextEdit) and save that document. Then, go back into Options and click "Wipe save" (in red) and click Yes twice. Now, you're good to go.
- Alternatively, you can click "Legacy" under "Info" and click "Yes". You'll see the big cookie break into many pieces, and you will see a galaxy-like area. Click the cookie next to the "Reincarnate" button and you will see a screen with a cookie and a pedestal with a cookie on it. Click it and click "Confirm". Now click "Reincarnate" and you're all set.
- However, remember to check the number below the word Prestige. If the number below it is more than 0, click on the cookie next to the "Reincarnate" button immediately, press the text "Born Again", then click the "Reincarnate" button. Otherwise, you are unable to get this shadow achievement.
3
Wait for some Golden Cookies to appear. Since you cannot click the big cookie, which in turn means you cannot easily get cookies, the only way you can get cookies is by waiting for a Golden Cookie to appear, and clicking it, and getting the "Lucky!" result.
- At the start of the game, there is only one useful outcome for clicking a Golden Cookie: "Lucky!" which gives you 13+15% of your total cookies.^{[1]
  X
  Research source} So, you'll need to get 2 Golden Cookies which give out the "Lucky!" outcome. In between these two cookies, you will most likely get "Frenzy" and other outcomes, because there is only a 20% chance that you'll get the same outcome twice in a row. Not to mention that Golden Cookies will take around 7 and a half minutes to appear.
- If it's Christmas season in-game, you can instead click a Reindeer which will grant you 25 cookies. Since a cursor is only 15 cookies, it'll be more than enough to kickstart your run.
4
Use up the cookies in your bank immediately. At this point in the game, you should have 26 cookies, which is more than enough to buy a single cursor (a cursor costs 15). Buy one. You should now have 11 cookies in your bank.
- Cursors give you 1 cookie every 10 seconds.
5
Wait 70 seconds. This is the amount of time it will take to get another cursor, leaving you with 2 cookies every 10 seconds.
6
Continue waiting and buying until you have 5 cursors. By now you should be generating 5 cookies every 10 seconds.
7
Wait until you have 100 cookies in your cookie bank and buy a grandma. You will now be producing 15 cookies every 10 seconds, or 1.5 cookies every second.
8
Click the Golden Cookie, if it's there. By now, another Golden Cookie has probably appeared. Click it. You'll most likely get "Frenzy" or "Lucky!" Both are good, as now you are producing cookies without clicking.
- Sometimes the Golden Cookie can appear before you get the grandma. Keep that in mind with this step.
9
Get another grandma and the cursor upgrade "Reinforced index finger".
- The "Reinforced index finger" upgrade makes cursors twice as efficient, making them produce twice as much.
10
Keep buying grandmas and cursors until you produce at least 10 cookies per second. By now, it will take 10 seconds to make 100 cookies.
- Two ways to achieve this is 20 cursors, 6 grandmas, or 10 cursors, 8 grandmas.
11
Buy your first farm. Once you get to 1,100 cookies in your bank, go ahead and buy a farm, which produces 8 cookies per second.
12
Keep buying farms and grandmas. Keep going until you get 100 cookies per second.
- One way of doing this is buying until you have 11 grandmas and 11 farms.
13
Buy your first mine. Mines are an excellent source of cookies, as 1 mine can produce 47 cookies per second. Be careful, though: 1 mine costs 12,000 cookies.
14
Keep buying until you have the following:
- 20 cursors
- 20 grandmas
- 15 farms
- 5 mines
- Reinforced index finger upgrade (costs 100 cookies)
- Carpal tunnel prevention cream upgrade (costs 500 cookies)
15
Let the game sit. You should let the game sit until you have 10,000 cookies in your bank.
- Remember to click any Golden Cookies that appear while you let the game sit.
16
Get the upgrade Ambidextrous (optional). This will multiply the amount of cookies cursors make by two.
17
Buy the grandma upgrade "Forwards from grandma". This makes them twice as efficient.
18
Buy your first factory. After a long time of building up cookies, you should have enough to buy a factory (130,000 cookies). The factory produces 260 cookies per second.
19
Buy the grandma upgrade "Steel-plated rolling pins". This will make grandmas twice as efficient, making a single grandma make 4 cookies per second. This upgrade costs 5,000 cookies though, so prepare to have to spend a lot.
20
Wait and keep buying more buildings. You should now be producing a lot of cookies per second. Now all you have to do is wait.
- Make sure to click any Golden Cookies along the way.
21
Keep buying, clicking Golden Cookies, and waiting until you have the following:
- 20 cursors
- 20 grandmas
- 15 farms
- 5 mines
- 3 factories
- Reinforced index finger upgrade (costs 100 cookies)
- Carpal tunnel prevention cream upgrade (costs 500 cookies)
- Ambidextrous (costs 10,000 cookies) (optional)
- Forwards from grandma upgrade (costs 1,000 cookies)
- Steel-plated rolling pins upgrade (costs 5,000 cookies)
- Cheap hoes (costs 11,000 cookies) (optional)
  - Reinforced index finger, and Carpal tunnel prevention cream make cursors double the amount of cookies they make.
  - Forwards from grandma and Steel-plated rolling pins make grandmas double the amount of cookies they make.
  - Cheap hoes will double the amount of cookies farms make.
22
Let the game sit. You should now be making at least 1,223 cookies per second.
- Feel free to buy more upgrades to speed up the process.
23
Finished. You should now have received the True Neverclick achievement.
- If you get the achievement, but you don't have 1,000,000 cookies in your bank, that means that from the beginning of the game until now, you have baked 1,000,000 cookies. Baked cookies don't go down when you spend cookies, so you don't have to worry when you have 900,000 cookies and you want to buy another Factory; you'll not make it take longer to get the achievement.
- You will also unlock the Neverclick achievement, unless you have ascended and reincarnated, got the Neverclick achievement before, and reincarnated under the effects of "Born Again".
- Feel free to continue with your True Neverclick save, and feel free to finally click the big cookie for the first time.

No. You can buy a cursor when you can afford one, then wait. There are many other methods, though the one suggested above is the fastest.

Warnings

Make sure you do not click the big cookie on the left, or you will not be able to get the achievement.

Missing a Golden Cookie could make you have to wait much longer to get the achievement.
