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.
Endings for episode 1 are dictated by a hidden '''friendship level''' point value, while episode 2 requires specific actions by the player to be carried out, although a friendship level point value still exists to be able to carry out some of these criteria.


Note that any dialogue options which do not appear do not grant any points, positive or negative.
If the story has already been completed, only the dialogue options from the mission acts themselves are available, but the player can replay the missions while picking the correct dialogue options. Once the player feels they have earned enough points in episode 1, they can replay [[Chapter 10 - Act 1]] until the end and hope they have achieved the ending they want.

For episode 2, all endings are earned through specific criteria, so the player can know if they are able to earn the ending they want, and also choose to get certain endings by picking certain dialogue options or fulfilling certain criteria.

Earning the best ending in episode 1 requires the following:

!Ending
* S-Rank clear in all story missions for chapter 1 to chapter 9.

The below dialogue checklist will allow the player to earn the best ending on their first play through if all missions are S-Rank cleared the first time. Choosing other options will lower the friendship level by the point value, allowing all endings to be earned on the same character.

Earning the best ending in episode 2 requires the following:

* All key events prior to [[Chapter 5 - Act 3 (Episode 2)|Chapter 5 - Act 3]] must have been viewed when Chapter 5 - Act 3 is started.
!Ending
====Key events====
!Criteria
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.

If the criteria for the best ending is met, the player may still earn the good ending by choosing the incorrect dialogue option in Chapter 5 - Act 1, to avoid viewing the key scene. This also works even if the best ending has already been achieved.

This guide serves as a simple checklist to achieve all the endings 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.

Endings for episode 1 are dictated by a hidden friendship level point value, while episode 2 requires specific actions by the player to be carried out, although a friendship level point value still exists to be able to carry out some of these criteria.

If the story has already been completed, only the dialogue options from the mission acts themselves are available, but the player can replay the missions while picking the correct dialogue options. Once the player feels they have earned enough points in episode 1, they can replay Chapter 10 - Act 1 until the end and hope they have achieved the ending they want.

For episode 2, all endings are earned through specific criteria, so the player can know if they are able to earn the ending they want, and also choose to get certain endings by picking certain dialogue options or fulfilling certain criteria.

Note that any dialogue options which do not appear do not grant any points.

Ending criteria

Episode 1

Ending Criteria
Normal Friendship level with Emilia is 183 or less.
Good Friendship level with Emilia is 184 or more.
Best Friendship level with Emilia is 217 or more.
S-Rank clear in all story missions for chapter 1 through 9.[1]
  1. Not including side stories.

The below dialogue checklist will allow the player to earn the best ending on their first play through if all missions are S-Rank cleared the first time. Choosing other options will lower the friendship level by the point value, allowing all endings to be earned on the same character.

Episode 2

Ending Criteria
Normal Defeat the boss in Chapter 4 - Act 2
Good Clear Chapter 5 - Act 3 without viewing all key scenes.
Best Clear Chapter 5 - Act 3 after viewing all key scenes.

If the criteria for the best ending is met, the player may still earn the good ending by choosing the incorrect dialogue option in Chapter 5 - Act 1, to avoid viewing the key scene. This also works even if the best ending has already been achieved.

Key scenes

Key scenes 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 scenes, one for each chapter. This guide will highlight which options are specifically required for the key scenes, although if the player has not amassed enough friendship level with Nagisa, the key scene will not play regardless.

3 34 or more
4 35 or more
5 38 or more[1]
  1. This key scene 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.
