Popular Post CommanderClif Posted November 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) This trophy is truly offensive. No idea how to figure out playing through and making some of the minuscule changes without using a guide so I thought it would help to provide others a step by step walkthrough of getting the 5 endings if it helps anyone else. My first play I got the Best Ending, but was just shy of getting New Business trophy. I had zero interest in playing the full game multiple times to "try" and get the different endings by experimenting. Between some bits and pieces I came across in comments here and spread out other places such as TrueAchievements, I pulled together what I hope is a pretty easy to follow, comprehensive guide to get through the play throughs as efficiently as possible. Jumping Jonny https://www.youtube.com/@JumpinJonnyGaming agreed to let me cut up his full walkthroughs to post here so I thank him for his hard work. TIP: Gameplay adjustments to save you some time I didn't want to sit around and be alert during long non-interactive sections of the game. So after completing Best Ending, Anu death and Octavio death endings, I made the following changes to the Gameplay settings. Then using Remote Play I would just set my phone down for long spans of time to pick it up with it ready for me to make a choice. This allowed me to multitask and do there things while letting the majority of these play throughs play out in the background. Dialogue Timer: OFF Quick Time Events Timer: OFF Quick Time Event Difficulty: HARD (during your plays certain QTEs have to be done correct and some have to be done wrong. This way I could accurately do them or pick a wrong button and insure it registered as a fail. If mess up, just exit to menu and continue) ALL three of the death "bad endings" can be gained by replying just Episode 5 or in Anu death case, just the final chapter. In each attempt, I cloned a copy of my best ending play through to preserve it and played the new ending attempt on the copied version. ——————————————————— Ending 2: Anu dead This is easiest ending to get. Load up Episode 5, Chapter 6 and have Octavio reach for the shard instead of hug Anu. (turning off dialogue and QTE timers works here) ——————————————————— Ending 3: Octavio dead Start at the beginning of Episode 5. I set the controller down to let it skip over/auto pick the majority of interactions. Below is a list of the moments I had to interact with the game or do something specific as to to keep it from being a "Game Over". (recommend leaving dialogue and QTE timers ON for this one so they can auto roll through selections, misses) Octavio grab Brock the gun, then spam circle to control Fran break ice to stop ax swing (can skip second prompt) Octavio spam square to stop slapping self Anu build bridge Fran 16 bit fight Octavio Susan’s office run around Anu green world run around Octavio switching of Brock Anu shard choice - merge shard Pick save Octavio from street option ——————————————————— Ending 4: Fran dead Load up Episode 5. Complete OTEs unless guide here says to fail. (turning off dialogue and QTE timers works here) As Anu being a jabber pick the following options, top option- panic, fail the QTE, right option- i thought i was screwed, left option- take me back to reality, right option- Octavio needs me. In the dream realm choose the top option- so you’re a parasite. As Octavio in jail, choose the options, right option- maybe, top option twice- the silent option twice. As Fran is being escorted to her execution, choose the options, left option- gonna kill you too, top option- you’re gonna die here, fail the QTE. Back to Octavio in the cell, choose the options, top option twice- the silent option twice, right option twice- you can't kill me and guess we’ll find out. Back to Fran on her execution choose the options, right option three times- he’ll be fine, I deserved better and tediore’s gonna rule the world, left option- and my sponsorbot. As Anu in Octavio’s body choose the options, top option- panic, left option twice- horrible and i don't remember, top option- i wasn't a good sister, left option- to be heard. As Fran in the retro 16 bit battle, pick the options, first option- I’m sick of you, defend, item, 1st choice- anger kicks ass. As Octavio holding himself hostage against the 2 soldiers, choose the options, left option twice- I’m not messing around here and i want my sister. After the soldiers you bump into Bivington Bradwick choose the top option- the silent option, left option- shoot him. When Fran and Octavio are in Susan's office, fail the QTE, top option- reflect on your choices. When Fran and Octavio find Anu choose the options, top option- push louie into guard, right option- protect anu, bottom option twice- consciousness is relative and we have to save the world. On the way to stop Susan and her plan choose the options, top option twice- the silent option twice, bottom option twice- being closed is a door’s job and do it for me, left option twice- our success was us and i need you. In the final confrontation against Susan, choose the options, left option- reunite the shard, bottom option twice- we are complete and uh save us please?, right option twice- you’ve lost your mind and guess I’ve never murdered anyone, left option- get very personal (this may need to change based on what you said in Chapter 3, not 100% sure), right option- bio grapher (this may need to change based on what you said in Chapter 3, not 100% sure), left option three times- 5ish i lost count, atlas and saving Octavio from the streets, right option twice- you loved me and reach for Anu. During the bad ending with Fran not surviving pick the bottom option- I hope heaven is one big orgy. ——————————————————— Ending 5: Neutral ending, 3 main characters live, Louie does not For this play through, I had the "hope" that I could replay just chapter 4 and 5 using the guide and get the ending but that didn't work. I'm curious if play 3-5 or even just 2-5 since that was the point where the skateboard rating came in to the story would work to get the ending however I caved and did all 5 chapters again following the guide. However, turning off dialogue and QTE timers worked really well here to let most of play through happen without me having to pay attention to lengthy non-interactive sections again (would have been nice to have been able to skip the replay cut-scenes) Complete OTEs unless guide here says to fail. (turning off dialogue and QTE timers works here) Episode 1 As Anu pick the bottom options twice yes and like the sound of success.

I replayed chapter 5, following most rude options, selfish etc. but each time it gives me the Best Ending with everyone alive. Not sure what to do Well I hope the guide above might help you get Oct to die! It's one of the easier ones. JUST to confirm, when you say replayed Chapter 5, you replayed all of Episode 5 right? I keep getting confused myself with the words. Small chapters in each Episode, just making sure you were replaying the whole Episode 5 and not just the chapters 5 and 6. When I got to the end without Octo my numbers were: Skateboard 41% 57% anu/fran 45% anu/oct 33% oct/fran In the guide above, I just sat the controller down for the nearly all of the options so that meant QTEs would have nearly all failed and top option would have been the auto pick. I know you are trying to get to lower than 50% on Anu / Oct so maybe you just had a high percent from chapter 4? WORSE case scenario you could try Episode 4 and 5 using this text guide. I don't see how you couldn't get a dead Oct doing this: Complete all OTEs unless otherwise told to fail it. Episode 4 At the start of episode 4, Fail the QTE in punching the coffin, choose the options, top option- hang up, Fail the next 4 QTE’s, left option- i like punching stuff, fail the first and third QTE and then choose scalpel.

When you are at the angel investors place, choose the options, bottom option- who’s going to be there, right option- he isn't one of us. As Octavio at the VIP party choose the options, bottom option- in your face, left option- Booze. As Anu in the research room, choose the left option- state of the art. As Fran in another new frogurt shop, choose the options, bottom option- i’ve never boned anu, right option- mecha centripidal force typhoon, bottom option twice- aquarium, and weirdly aroused, right option- im in.

SydraxJack Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 For my part, I had the neutral ending, the ending where Fran and Anu died, but I couldn't make Octavio die... I had to start a whole game again, I'm in chapter 3 and anu & octavio are at 0% in their relationship, but it disgusts me with the game to have to redo everything just for an end because by changing From the dialogues in chapter 5 I come across either the dead dead ending or the neutral ending...

Ugh it's rediculous! The Neutral was the one I hated doing the most. I tried doing it just Episodes 4 and 5 but that gave me one of the endings I already had, was so frustrated I don't even remember which one I got so started back at Episode 1. The tip I posted about turning off the timer for dialogue and QTEs made it *NEARLY* stomach-able. I turned down the volume and watched shows and did other stuff and just glanced down at my phone from time to time to see that it was waiting on me so was nice to not be forced to listen to it all over and over and over again.

laddyvalentine Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 The sadness at discovering that the neutral ending I lack requires a full play. I don't think I have the patience. I'll let someone else test to take the proof. But thank you, I know how boring it is to play several times. Congrats on your hard-earned platinum!

I remember seeing your posts on the other threads so I know you've been through a ringer here. Part of me really thinks that picking up from Episode 2 since thats when the skateboards come in would actually work, but I recall that on my original play through my Episode 2 had a 100% skateboarding rating but of course no way of knowing if Episode 1 choices influenced a starting point for Episode 2 ratings. I was annoyed Ep 4 and 5 wasn't enough and HOPE that someone TRIES a Ep 3 or Ep 2 start and reports back success/failure. BUT, MAINLY I came to reply to cheer you on! Looking and your trophy card and completions YOU GOT THIS! It might bump you up to 92% completion lol, pretty impressive! If you glanced at the above and didn't dig in to the detail, just wanted to point out the bits about turning off the timers for QTE and dialogue choices, HUGE time saver. I used remote play on my iPhone with a Backbone controller add on and took care of HOURS of other tasks while the game largely played out without my attention. I think I got through the whole second season of Mythic Quest and some photoshop work while doing my replay. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockton572 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 So, just something I wanted to share. I got the Octavio dies ending by doing a bit of chapter 1 (I started at 1-3 just to get the Claptrap vaultlander and retire for tomorrow), jumped to Chapter 5 (so Brock and Keeper were killed for me), and followed the steps for the Fran dies ending in the first post. There were people who said they couldn't get that ending, and here's how I got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroth4424 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) I got Best Ending in first playthrough. Then replayed last chapter and got Anu dying ending. I followed the choices for Octavio dying but instead i got Neutral Ending. So you definitely don't need 2 different full playthroughs for Best and Neutral endings Edited December 27, 2022 by sephiroth4424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes me think there is a bit of randomness or certainly not 100% clarity on what defines the %s and skateboard ratings. I wasn't unable to get neutral with both last episodes not being enough but what a time saver for you not having to go back far to get Neutral!

sephiroth4424 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) So, i replayed Episode 5 three times trying to get Octavio killed. Failed. One Best ending, two Neutral Endings. Then i decided to choose your choices to get Fran killed and boom. Octavio died Only ending i am missing now is Fran's death and i am out of ideas And it makes no sense at all. I watched the video with all the choices made in episode 5. The results in video and mine were Skateboard 60% Skateboard 58% Anu & Fran 26% Anu & Fran 57% Anu & Oct 72% Anu & Oct 40% Oct & Fran 14% Oct & Fran 33% The differences are huge and we are talking about same options in same episode Edited December 28, 2022 by sephiroth4424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henricuz Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I am the opposite, I tried replaying chapter 5 three times with 3 different walkthroughs/videos for best ending and kept getting Fran's death. my skateboard rating dropped to 48% on all of them, it doesn't make sense after making different choices.

SublimeHawk Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hey @CommanderClif. I was able to get all of the endings by just replaying Chapter 5 on my best ending save file. I was extremely relieved not to have to play through the whole game again. I would recommend playing through Episode 5 (while following your guide for each ending, starting from Episode 5) before considering a full repeat playthrough. I've finished the game now and am so relieved to be able to delete it from my console. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggurcat Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 So... I'm trying to get the other endings I've missed, and the game won't seem to give me anything but the good/best case ending or the Anu death ending. I was a little short of 50% in the Anu/Fran relationship, so I replayed from Episode 5 Ch. 4 and made a few different choices, which then bumped up their relationship to 52% (the other two %s were 65 and 66), which made every relationship above 50%. My Skateboard rating was 82%. After that, I was thinking: great, now I just have to re-do Ch. 6 and just fail all of the QTEs to drop my Skateboard rating down below 75%. Nope. Replayed Ch. 6, failed all QTEs the game allowed me to fail without a game over screen, and my end game Skateboard rating was EXACTLY THE SAME AT 82%! So WTF does one have to do to drop the Skateboard rating below 75% to get the neutral ending?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like my playthrough of Episodes 5 and 6, I'm not sure that goes back far enough to get a neutral ending. Choices have to be made further back like at least Episode 3 but I said the hell with possibly having to do it again and went back to Episode 1 since for all I know, Skateboard rating could begin counting before it even gets mentioned by Louie. On my Episode 5 and 6 play through for neutral I ended up with: Skateboard 35% 68% 38% 62% And then after doing the whole game from the beginning again I got: Skateboard 36% 68% 47% 52% And just that slight number adjustments go it but damn was I close.

It's kind of dumb that literally none of the QTEs from Ch.6 affects anything. Worst it did one time was maybe drop the Skateboard rating from 82% down to 80%, but it could have also been a dialogue choice that did that. I decided to just start a whole new game over from the beginning, following the video link to the YouTuber you had posted. Got through the first Episode late last night, going to keep trudging along this evening. I might be able to get the other two death endings with one of my existing save files. I am okay with going back to Chapter 4 Edited December 30, 2022 by ziggurcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set the controller down to let it skip over/auto pick the majority of interactions. Below is a list of the moments I had to interact with the game or do something specific as to to keep it from being a "Game Over". (recommend leaving dialogue and QTE timers ON for this one so they can auto roll through selections, misses) Octavio grab Brock the gun, then spam circle to control Fran break ice to stop ax swing (can skip second prompt) Octavio spam square to stop slapping self Anu build bridge Fran 16 bit fight Octavio Susan’s office run around Anu green world run around Octavio switching of Brock Anu shard choice Pick save Octavio from street option Did all of this, and still got the best-case ending, so this guide doesn't necessarily work. You could also include which shard choice you're supposed to make (it is assumed the merge option, but still...). Also, when you're given the choice between Atlas, Maliwan or Tediore (?), you must choose Atlas or else you get a Game Over screen, which is not mentioned in your guide (update on this: it seems you will get a game over if you answer incorrectly 3 times, but because letting the dialogue run through yielded two correct answers in my update below, it allowed me to pick Tediore - the incorrect answer - on this question). BTW, my stats at the end were: Skateboard: 82% - somehow... ??? I literally just put the controller down the entire Episode, and only passed the ones that would have resulted in a Game Over screen or forced you to complete (like the slapping face). So something is ****ed up there. Anu/Fran: 42% Anu/Ock: 45% Fran/Ock: 23% Update: So, I duplicated my save file where I got the neutral ending, and tried the Ock death ending starting from the beginning of Episode 5 again. I ended up getting the Fran death ending instead for some reason, but that's not the strangest thing that happened. I have a feeling that the game will break previous decisions you've made or something because two things happened: 1. At the end of the game, when I was faced with the question of what the device name was, I had selected the Hip-O-Cratic Matic just like the neutral guide did, but because I let the dialogue run through, it auto-selects Hermes... the wrong answer... right? NOPE! The game thought I had chosen Hermes, so Anu went through the "You were listening" dialogue. 2. When Reba's sister comes in at the part where Fran is going to be executed, she says, "I know what you did to my sister", implying that I had killed Reba earlier on. I had not. I have always made the choice to let Reba go, and allow her into the back room in Episode 1. Even the neutral guide made that selection. That had happened once before on my very first run - let Reba do her thing, let her into the back room, etc... and then later on when Anu searches for parts to make the healing raygun, there Reba was... frozen... with Hank broken to pieces at her feet. I have a feeling that part of the problem with people not getting the correct endings is that the game will break previous decisions all willy nilly, and you end up with out-of-whack results by the end of the game. So now I am left with seemingly no way to get the Ock death ending with out starting the game all over again from the beginning since the Ock death ending got me the Fran death instead. I will try doing the Fran death ending to see if I get the Ock death instead, but I am not hopeful. The endgame stats when I got the Fran ending were: Skateboard: 58% Anu/Fran: 57% Anu/Ock: 75% Fran/Ock: 52% Update 2: Finally got the Ock death ending. I used the Fran death guide here, and just made a few different choices (ones that helped the Anu/Fran % and ones that hurt the Anu/Ock + Fran/Ock %s). Plat done, now I can finally move on.

BodyChipper Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 FWIW, I was able to take the default chapter 5 start state, as if starting a new save file and using the predetermined choices the game picks for you up to that point (maybe at random?) and got Oct to die just be replaying chapter 5 using this guide. I accidentally overwrote my initial best ending choices when going back to get the Claptrap vaultlander I missed in Episode 1, so I couldn't use my own choices. I then reloaded the last chapter of Episode 5 and got Anu to die. I then replayed Episode 5 again (still using those same predetermined game chosen choices) and followed the best ending + new business guide and managed to get fran's death ending on that same episode 5 start state chosen by the game. The only ending I need now is the neutral one. I will try just running through episode 5 with your guide and see if it works. I missed the skateboard rating trophy by 2% on my initial run, so I'll likely have to do an entire playthrough again to get that. I don't think the game allows for it even when making the best episode 5 choices just by replaying that chapter only. Your remote play via the phone idea with timers off is genius. I let the game play on my phone (turned the always show controls setting on) while working and muddled through the replays making choices while it waited for my input over the last few days without losing more time at home that could be spent on other things and other games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly one of the time savers for sure. Let us know how your Neutral attempt goes, I tried with just 5 and 6 and my skateboard rating was 35% but a couple of the others were a bit high. My 1 - 6 was a 36% skateboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEAH, so this does seem to be tricky to give as a guild to people since I THINK these answers need to relate back to choices you made in the previous chapters. If just replaying the end chapters, and going by the guide that picked the answer to begin with, this should probably be highlighted as a "your choice goes here" so that its more universal eh?

xBenlander Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Man, I got the neutral ending on my own and then found this guide and followed the Best ending step by step and got it. Now I've tried Octavio's death ending and Fran's death ending, step by step, and I just keep getting the best ending. I'm so burnt out on this game I don't even give a shit anymore if I got the platinum. I seen some people say that the decision making stuff is broken and I see it come end game when I say something opposite of what I should be saying and the game still registers it as the correct response. I've done two full playthroughs of this game and replayed episode 5 7 times now. I'm done with this game and don't give two shits about the platinum trophy.
