If you’re in Where Winds Meet and want to get the Life Goes to Dogs achievement, then your character needs to transform into a dog and hang out with the local pups. The whole sequence is quick, easy, and even lets you play a round of Mahjong as a dog, making it one of the more interesting achievements in the game.
How to Get the Life Goes to Dogs Achievement
The Life Goes to Dogs achievement unlocks when you turn yourself into a village dog. It’s a fun little moment where your character literally becomes one of the local dogs for a short while.
Right outside the little wooden house by the river, you’ll spot a Shiba dog sitting next to a bowl with a sign that literally says “Do not drink.” Go ahead and drink from it anyway; your character will instantly turn into a dog, and that’s how you unlock the Life Goes to Dogs achievement in Where Winds Meet. Once you’ve transformed, head into the nearby hut and play a round of Mahjong with the other dogs to finish the whole mini-event.
How to Play Mahjong
To start a Mahjong round, everyone gets 13 tiles and must immediately choose one suit, Characters, Dots, or Bamboo, to ignore for the whole game. That chosen “Missing Suit” won’t count toward your points, so you’ll want to discard those tiles whenever you can.
A dealer is picked at random. The dealer begins with one extra tile and is the first to throw a tile out, and the turns then move clockwise around the table.
On your turn, you draw a tile or pick up the one someone else just discarded. You’ll then have about 20 seconds to decide which tile you want to get rid of. The whole idea is to slowly build useful tile combinations.
You can score by using tiles that other players throw away. If you can form three of a kind, you can call Pong, and if you have four of a kind, that’s Kong. Calling these reveals your matching tiles and places them in front of you. If you’d rather keep your hand hidden, you can choose Guo, which simply means you’re skipping the chance.
To win, you need to be the first player to form four groups plus one pair. If nobody manages that before the stack of tiles runs out, the game ends and everyone’s hand, including revealed tiles, is added up for points. Whoever has the highest total takes the win.
