In The Outer Worlds, the Well-Dressed achievement/trophy is a quirky challenge that requires collecting two specific pieces of attire: the Nice Hat and the Chimera outfit. While the Nice Hat is simple to acquire, the Chimera involves a lengthy quest full of fashion drama, humorous dialogue, and a bit of combat. This guide will walk you through each step to unlock the achievement with ease.

Acquiring the Nice Hat

Your journey begins on Terra-2, near Stellar Bay at a small chapel. Inside, you’ll find the Nice Hat, which resembles a Monopoly-style top hat. This part is straightforward and requires no combat or special prerequisites. Simply grab the hat and move on to the more elaborate half of the achievement.

Hat Stats:

• +7 Persuade
• +5 Leadership

Unlocking the Chimera Outfit

To get the Chimera, you’ll need to travel to Byzantium and visit a clothing store just outside Prosperity Plaza. Inside, you’ll meet Celeste Jolicoeur, a fashion designer who will immediately take interest in your rugged appearance and offer you a modeling quest.

This quest, known as “Makes Space Suits, Won’t Travel”, requires you to gather and model three distinct outfits:

1. Iconoclast Armor: Obtainable on Monarch. Ensure the armor explicitly says “Iconoclast” in its description.
2. Marauder Armor: Also on Monarch. Look for gear labeled “Marauder.”
3. Spacer Gear: The easiest way to get this is from the Groundbreaker or by completing Felix’s personal quest.

After showing these outfits to Celeste, you’ll be tasked with gathering monster hides to craft the Chimera:

• 10 Primal Leathers (Edgewater or Scylla)
• 3 Raptidon Flank Hides (Monarch)
• 1 Mantiqueen Chitin (Monarch, near Terra-1 Publications)

Pro Tip: Track your progress to avoid wasting time hunting more hides than needed.

The Final Stretch: Celeste’s Tragic Fate

After gathering the materials, return to Celeste. She’ll send you to retrieve a solid gold, diamond-encrusted lapel from Halcyon Parcel Service. This task leads to a tragic twist: when you return, you find Celeste dead, accused of subversive aesthetics by Byzantium’s authorities.

To complete the achievement:

• Loot her body for the Chimera outfit.
• Equip both the Nice Hat and the Chimera to unlock Well-Dressed.

Conclusion

The Well-Dressed achievement is as much about the journey as it is about the reward, combining humor, a bit of combat, and a tragic end for Byzantium’s top designer. By following this guide, you’ll snag the achievement without missing a beat.
