Endings guide

Revision as of 17:02, 12 October 2022 by Matt (talk | contribs)

This guide serves as a simple checklist to achieve the best ending in both episode 1 and episode 2. The best endings are required to unlock certain movies at the movie theater, certain partner characters, certain missions, and achieve various different titles and modules.

If the story has already been completed, only the dialogue options from the mission acts themselves are available, but there are more than enough friendship level points during the missions to achieve the best endings.

Note that any dialogue options which do not appear do not grant any points, positive or negative.

Best ending criteria

Episode 1

Earning the best ending in episode 1 requires the following:

  • Friendship level with Emilia must be 217 or more, this is increased solely through dialogue options. This is not related to partnership rating.
  • S-Rank clear in all story missions for chapter 1 to chapter 9.
    • This does not include the side story missions, however they can be played for up to 64 extra friendship level points if necessary.

Episode 2

Earning the best ending in episode 2 requires the following:

  • All key events prior to Chapter 5 - Act 3 must have been viewed when Chapter 5 - Act 3 is started.

Key events

Key events are special cutscenes which are played after the completion of a chapter in episode 2 if the player's friendship level with Nagisa is high enough, and a specific dialogue option has been chosen during one of the chapter's acts.

There are 5 different key events, one for each chapter. This guide will highlight which options are specifically required for the key events, although if the player has not amassed enough friendship level with Nagisa, the key event will not play regardless.

Chapter Friendship level
1 10 or more
2 22 or more
3 34 or more
4 35 or more
5 38 or more[1]
  1. This key event plays after Chapter 5 - Act 1, rather than the end of the chapter, so the correct dialogue and friendship level must be earned by then.
