Introduction, mechanic’s explanation
Right after doing all the good and bad endings, instead of the epilogue, you will get a secret ending. So don’t hurry to skip the text or exit. Don’t forget that by pressing Ctrl you can skip the already seen text, or all of it, depending on your settings. Seeing how many players faced the problem of getting all the endings, I decided to write my own guide on how to get each of them. The secret/true ending will then open up, and essentially while going through them all you will get all the achievements. One achievement you can easily skip is the “Last blood”, for it you have to save and die in every possible way at every ending! To get it you will have to die in the secret ending as well! With each ending there are 2 ways to die, in Leon’s ending there are 3. Keep this in mind as this is essentially the hardest achievement. You should also get the full gallery after this walkthrough. I will not focus on the achievements, but I will tell you specifically about getting the endings and roots. But first I would like to share more in-depth mechanics for getting them. Maybe with their knowledge, some will have a desire to get them independently. If not – go straight to the section you need. Next will be direct spoilers to the game.
So, the ending of the game is a fairly complex system of a combination of the root of the character you spend the most time with + a bad ending of another character (in addition to the main characters it can be Grant, Johnson or Elisabeth). With a bad ending, you-know-what happens. There are a lot of combinations of endings (in some ways to escape and defeat the killer may differ significantly depending on the companion, but it’s not so important). What is important is getting the secret ending. For it, you need to get every bad ending and every good ending with the characters at least once each. This can be tracked by achievements. And if with getting good endings it’s quite simple – you just always choose your favorite character and finish the game with him, then with getting bad endings most people have problems.
It’s really not that complicated. With each choice in the game, characters get hidden points. And depending on them, they can die in controversial situations. With the main characters everything is clear, and non-main characters – Johnson gets points for a perfectly solved test, Elisabeth – if you always call her and report everything, Grant – if you behave calmly with him and do not be rude. However, points are not always decisive. Some choices instantly kill a character (not literally, but he will definitely be the first to die soon). For example: sticking up for Samantha after winning a tournament will definitely kill Grant, while the reverse will definitely kill Sarah. Following a teacher at a disco will definitely kill him, calling an officer will definitely kill her, and so on. Alas, finding such choices and understanding the pattern can only be done by trial and error. But for some, it may seem like an interesting challenge.
But for those who are already tired of agonizing – attached is the guide below on getting each bad ending. This is just one of the possible ways to get each ending! To get each good ending – just choose the right character throughout the game and you’ll get it all.
