General Info

This is an official guide to help you reach every character ending and unlock every single archive.

It is also meant to give you hints for 100% achievements (a detailed guide for elemental spirits & memory fragments is underway) if you ever get stuck.

There is no enforced order but we recommend aiming for Nahima > Médeia > Bear purely for the feeling of progression (the last ending being the longest). Some choices impact your ending more than others: We will make suggestions in italic for less important ones or omit them altogether. Enforced choices do not truly count as choices (ex: one is greyed out).

Nahima

Save 1: First choice after the prologue

That I was with you
I did not sleep very well
Really?
I trust you*
I believe in magic
Do not say anything
Could be better

If this is your 1st playthrough, we recommend picking the following order:

Pretend to be dead > Flee with the skin as a disguise

As it’s simply more rewarding to get the shortest route out of the way first.

*Bonus save: You can make a save in the canvas room to unlock the optional illustration (Queen Portrait) when you want. It counts towards The Art Dealer achievement.

Save 2: Your first death

Don’t forget to make a save here or/and in the next occurrence to get the Too Tired To Live achievement (Let yourself die). It has a slightly different variation depending on Nahima’s fate. Otherwise choose Invoke the fairy every time.

All following choices impact your relationship with Fleur but not with the love interest. This following sequence gives you the Fleur’s Wrath achievement and changes a few sentences in several scenes later in the story.

Do you need them?
Cheese again?
Is it because of thieves?
Give Fleur some privacy
Act as if nothing had happened
Nahima’s presence

Save 3: Choose your own chore

Don’t forget to make a save before selecting your chore. That way you can pick them in a random order to get the Fluttering Around achievement.

For Nahima’s endings, you need to complete the washing place’s storyline so choose Washing Place every time.

Side activities do not count towards endings. For roleplay, you can pick: Help Berthe in the kitchen > Listen to retainers’ gossip in the hallway > Try to get a sneak peek of the prince in the courtyard.

Go find Nahima
Discreetly observe her

Save 4: Choose a task to pass time

Don’t forget to make a save before selecting your task. You can only succeed a task if you did the corresponding chore in the previous route (and saw that storyline to completion). Failing a task gives you an achievement so you still want to pick these choices before going back.

Socialization
I wish to protect what remains of that life
I have no idea
Tease Nahima (only appears if you’re aiming for her endings)
Appeal to benevolence
Request to see Nahima

Save 5: Before entering an ending

If you haven’t unlocked it yet, don’t forget to make a save before selecting your ending so you can get Kionna’s Bad Ending with the End of A Journey achievement (Marry the king option). Otherwise choose Escape with Nahima to properly enter her endings.

Save 6:

Listen to her and rest
Nahima’s Bad Ending

→ Load save 6

Insist on resuming your journey

Save 7:

Go to Mass
Nahima’s Ending 1 (platonic)

→ Load save 7

Coax Nahima
Nahima’s Ending 2 (sensual)

If you have been following this guide, you should have not found any memory fragment and unlocked the soul’s Bad Ending.

Médeia

→ Load save 1 (First choice after the prologue)

That I was queen
You are late
It is impossible!
This is unfair…
I believe in myself
Show interest*
Do I look okay to you?

*Fragment n°2 appears shortly after this choice. Pick it.

This following sequence gives you the Fleur’s Goodwill achievement and changes a few sentences in several scenes later in the story.

Like lions and bears?
It tastes good
Is it because of wild boars?
Offer to look for her (Fleur optional illustration)
Follow Fleur
Her godmother’s advice
For Médeia’s endings, you need to complete the kitchen’s storyline so choose Kitchen every time.

Bonus save: An elemental spirit appears somewhere in this route.You might want to save at some point to give yourself some leeway.

Side activities do not count towards endings. For roleplay, you can pick: Help Berthe in the kitchen > Stay in the attic to rest (Bonus Archive) > Listen to retainers’ gossip in the hallway.

Resist the temptation
Address the subject

Save 8: Choose a task to pass time

Don’t forget to make a save before selecting your task. You can only succeed a task if you did the corresponding chore in the previous route (and saw that storyline to completion).

Failing a task gives you an achievement so you still want to pick these choices before going back.

Management

Bonus save: An elemental spirit appears somewhere in this route.You might want to save at some point before winter comes to give yourself some leeway. If you don’t find it during the C1 route, you get another chance during the C2 route.

I wish to avenge myself

Fragment n°3 appears shortly after the hidden object game. Pick it.

Bonus save: An elemental spirit appears somewhere in this route. You might want to save at some point after reaching Genoa to give yourself some leeway.

Time is absorbing itself
Appeal to authority
Ask Médeia about her knowledge

Save 9: Before entering an ending

Médeia’s ending is the only part of the story where you can encounter the last elemental spirit. You might want to save beforehand to give yourself some leeway.
