All Romance Routes (mit dem „am besten“ Ende, oder der ‚Revolutionary‘ Ende“), CGs, Achievements and guide to the other 3 ending variations.

Einführung

Haftungsausschluss: Dies ist derzeit in Arbeit. It’s uploaded because I want to at least have Pious/Eve’s route live before I complete it in case it takes me a while CG hunting.

Here are a few things you should consider before you dive into the guide:

Egon/Soren and Karel’s routes are identical in the beginning (so you can literally pick up an old save), and Pious/Evelyn’s route can be accessed from theirs, if you so wish. Du kannst absolutely drop characters like hot potatoes, and there are hidden interactions between them if you do.
I personally believe that the affinity meter goes like this, aus „am besten“ reaction, Zu „worst reaction“ descending: Tempted -> Thrilled -> Amused -> Pleased -> Interested -> Slightly Interested -> Bored -> Annoyed -> Bothered -> Angry -> Wütend.
daher, if you’d like to do your own playthrough without relying on a guide, you should attempt to make your love interests or companions Tempted at all times, and never Furious. Play it like top-trumps: You may not always be able to obtain a thrilled response – sometimes Interest or Slightly Interested is the „am besten“ Option, and that’s fine. F4 and F5 are your friends.
All romance routes listed below are the „Revolutionary“ ending as standard with all your friends alive/present, with whatever love interest also alive. This is widely considered the „Gut“ Ende. I will also be covering the other achievements and endings in seperate sections.
Der erste 5 Seiten (excluding page 3 CG 1 + 2, and page 4 CG 13) are all obtainable by following the revolutionary ending for Pious, Egon and Karel’s romances. Dies schließt 2 variation CGs for Pious, Und 6 variation CGs for Karel, which will be noted in their route sections. Egon does not have variation CGs, and therefore no „verfehlbar“ CGs.
It is possible to get all romance achievements in one playthrough, albeit it is impossible to get all romance CGs in one playthrough. But be advised that whoever you spend your last moments with before the raid begins will be the „Ende“ interest and the epilogue will treat it as you dating that specific person.
Egon’s romance route (w/ revolutionary ending) is a good standard route to follow if you want to be nice to everyone, but ignore the romance. Or if you simply want to explore the game’s choices and you’re not sure where to start diverging from.
Pious and Karel’s routes can be accessed by Egon’s route, which I believe is a good „Anlasser“ romance to experience alongside the story. Aus diesem Grund, Egon’s route guide will include save points that you can load when you start the other routes in this guide. But only two. It won’t be complicated. I get super confused with guides with multiple save states, so this’ll largely just be the „Antworten“, and therefore very long. Use the heading navigation on the right to find what you’re looking for faster.

These are the answers for Egon/Soren’s route, following the Revolutionary Ending with everybody alive.

Cassanova/All Romance Route

This one is a little more janky. On this route, you will unlock all the romance achievements available, and end with the Revolutionary ending with all your friends alive.

Haftungsausschluss: You cannot end up with all of them, and for the most part, the characters will never talk about your relationships with the other characters, and you will never have to face the consequences of playing them all like a fiddle. The only consequence is that you cannot get every CG for each interest.

Since this is an „everybody“ Route, I won’t be talking about the achievements.They’re just repeats found in the previous romance routes, but the important ones here are „Trigger Point Therapy„, „Setting the Scene“ Und „To Feel Human„.

Other Endings – Explained (CGs)

All the endings can be split into 4 groups, and you can check what ending is predicted when you read Chapter 12. Entweder: The Revolutionary, The Revolter, The Herald and The Contained.

There is also a 5th, more complex ending that doesn’t technically unlock any of them.

If you want the most „concise“ way to get all these choices, @Hanni does a great achievements guide with specialised save and load slots to give you the optimal process to getting all the achievements – schnell. Jedoch, for the purpose of this specific guide, I will not be concise.

es gibt auch CGs on every route mentioned below, and a new one every route.

If you use this in tandem with the previous route guides, AND Hanni’s achievement guide, you will only need zwei more CGs: Seite 6 – CG 16 and page 7 – CG 10.

I am currently searching how to obtain them. Although you will get all of them (apart from the two listed above) by following the routes listed here and Hanni’s guide. If you are struggling to find a specific one even with these route guides, please comment the page and number of the CG and I’ll do my best to point you at the right ending. When I have more time, I am going to upload the specific CGs to the other endings.

The missing CGs are Lana pressing her hand against a window cityscape, and the visionX of Karel, so I’m assuming this is a Karel death ending in either the Herald or the Contained ending, like the other visionX specific CGs, but I’ve yet to manage to kill the ginger hunk.

The Revolutionary Ending

This is a lazy solution right now, but to get this, follow any of the three romance routes listed above. If you don’t want to romance a particular character and would still like the story – simply press the gray options on the flirting choices whenever necessary. There is no penalty to not romancing people.

To ensure it’s also the „Rag Tag Bunch of Misfits“ Ende – make sure Kieran likes you and comes with you. Both these endings are obtainable with all the romance routes.

The Herald Endings

The point of these two endings is that you put Lana in a position that is too important to kill with her actions, similarly to the revolutionary ending, only you don’t go with Egon to destroy Apheta, and you destroy Eris instead.

I actually really like this ending a lot, especially the little conversations you can have with Egon and Karel at the end.

„The Herald“ + „Head for the Hills“

Für dieses Ende, I recommend using the „cassanova“ outlined route above, aber nur outside of the chaos choices. (Chaos choices will have Lana with a chain design next to the choice) Dies wird auch die entsperren „Now you see me, now you don’t“ Leistung.
