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.

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)

That is great to hear!! I've felt bad for the fellow gamers that have struggled due to the games quirks and not being straightforward. It's nice to hear its working for some! Congrats on the platinum and being able to delete it off you PS!

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. 

That sucks. Sorry it's giving you a fit. Not nearly as well done as the Telltale Borderland game, always appreciated that on a replay of a chapter you could skip dialog you heard and get to the decision making quicker. Not having that in this title is a real blow. POS game.

Glad you liked that too! 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. 

 

No luck on getting the neutral ending that easily using the game default choices on chapter 5, so I am 3/5 through that playthrough now. However, I noticed that the skateboard rating was at 92% at the end of chapter 2 in this neutral run, so I'm hoping I can go back and start from chapter 3 with my saved choices to get the New Business trophy and save at least 2 chapters of replay. Rating was only 62% after chapter 3. I guess I'll see where it ends up at the end of chapter 4 to be sure, but I'm guessing it's not going to go up.

Platinum achieved and a lot less work needed on my part due to remote play. Thanks for the guide (and the tips)!

NICE! Meant to fire back a reply yesterday about seeing that high skateboard rating at the end of Chapter 2, same happened here where I said UH OH and was worried I was on the wrong track. Glad it all worked out!

Thanks for helping the community with this. 
 

my problem is I can’t get Octo to die on my “Best Ending” save file. 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

Same for me. No matter what I do I always get best ending

I got every trophy except the "New Business" one. I can't get my Skateboard-Ranking above 78, no Matter what I do. My ranking at the end of Episode 4 is 75, but the best I could do was 3 more Points at the end of Episode 5. I replayed the Last chapter multiple Times - even the complete Episode, but no luck for me. I'm really out of ideas.

In my case just replaying Episode 5 gave me enough difference to get over whatever minimums I needed for New Business, but maybe try redoing Episode 4 and Episode 5? There is so much unclarity on what creates the weighting.

My first playthrough without any guide was:

Skateboard 78%

57%

60%

71%

 

When I replayed Episode 5 I got:

Skateboard 90%
52%
65%
61%

 

One might think that a run through from Episode 4, or maybe even doing Episode 3 on should tick enough boxes to get you across the finish line. For what it's worth, you got the hardest one already!!

I replayed Episode 3 yesterday and tried to push my Skateboard Ranking, but ended up losing 7 Points from my original playthrough. I played the last Episode 5 to 6 times by now, but can't get above 78, no matter what I do. 

 

I saw a YouTube Video of someone, who got 15 S-Points in Episode 5 alone, but it doesn't work for me. What were your decisions/dialogue choices in Episode 5 to get your ranking to 90?

[sephiroth4424]

On ps5 i did Best ending solo.From that save i was able to get Anu death, Oct death (with Fran's choices in ep.5) and Neutral ending (with Oct's choices in ep.5)

I had to do an entire pt for Fran's ending.

 

On ps4 i decided to follow the choices for Best ending here. Anu's choices got me Anu's death, Fran's choices got me Neutral ending and i wasn't able to get Oct ending.

I did an entire pt for Oct and now i'm doing a third one for Fran.

 

A weird thing when replaying episode 5, some choices from earlier episodes were altered randomly.

For example, sponsor bot wasnt broken which i didn't think was possible.

Brock mentioned that Fran ''killed'' him although i chose to confront Octavio instead of going after Brock.

Rita was aggressive although i chosed ''i'm in'' when she offered the yogurt's franchise deal.

 

It seems broken.

At least i can confirm that Jumpin Jonny Gaming's videos work for at least 3 endings ( i didn't have to try the Neutral one and Anu's death seems inevitable if you don't hug her at the end)

Update: I took my Savegame with 78SP at the end of Episode 3 and ended Up with 67 Points at the end of Episode 4. I really have no Idea hows that even possible.

 

My choices we're:

At the start of episode 4, choose the options, the right option- i’ll be there in a jiffy, bottom choice- i can do this, right option- scalpel.

When Octavio and Anu are back in the newly bought frogurt shop choose the options, right option three times- the good guys, granite counter and state of the art security system, fail the next 3 QTE’s.

When fran comes back to the shop with fergus choose the options, the top options- i know what you mean, the right option- tons of usable experience, the top option- yeah i screwed up.

When brock the gun shows up, choose the options, bottom option- you’re making a mistake, left option- comfort Octavio, bottom option- i’m fine, left option- you don't understand, right option- please don't hurt her, bottom option- we’re terrible with money, right option- Anu is alive and well.

When you are at the angel investors place, choose the options, the top option- you’ll be fine anu, left option- the killbot is one of us.

As Octavio at the VIP party choose the options, the right option- feels hollow, top option- tacos.

As Anu in the research room, choose the left option- state of the art.

As Fran in another new frogurt shop, choose the options, left option- i’ve never boned unpaid sexy intern, bottom option- mecha headbutt, left option- public pool, right option twice- frustrated and i’m in.

Back to Octavio in the VIP party choose the options, the bottom option- had some help, choose no to refuse to use the belcher, the right option- i don't have to prove im cool.

Back to Anu in the research room, choose the right option- you tricked me.

Back to Octavio, choose the right option- you tricked me.

As Fran make sure you beat the badass superfan at vaultlanders, then choose the right option- the kids are in trouble.

As Octavio locked up by Anu- choose the options, the left option- i’ve got this, top option- the silent option, left option- don't listen to them.

When Susan turns up choose the options, left option- no, bottom option- i won't help you
‘
At the conference with all the other CEO's of the main corporations, choose the options, top option- louie do something, bottom option- it’s a group effort, top option- you will pay for this.

UPDATE: I tried one last time to replay Episode 5. This time, I did nothing and let the Game play itself. I only took action If I had to (Tale over etc).

 

I started the Episode with 75 Skateboard-Points, at the end I had 82 Points for whatever reason. I think, the game always takes the top Option when you let the Timer run out. Needless to say, that I missed every single QTE.

 

It makes absolutely no sense to me how this SB-Ranking works. I'm just glad that I never have to play this game again.

Congrats on being DONE!!

Finally got around to this game last week and was creeping on the forum for tips to get all the endings as I struggled to get Ock & Fran's endings by just replaying the 6^th chapter of episode 5. My 1^st (and thankfully only) full playthrough I only picked answers that I thought would get the best skateboard score (pretty much being nice as possible). I ended up with a 78% skateboard and all the relationships hovering around the low 60s.

 

Simply replaying chapter 6 and choosing “I hope this hurts” when Fran is punching Susan and Anu wishing Fran got the death shot on Susan put my skateboard score up to 80%.

 

Anu's ending is definitely the easiest as grabbing the shard after being nice to her as Ock will get it even if everyone's relationship is over 50.

 

So I replayed E5's 6^th chapter and was able to get the good/neutral/Lou dies ending by doing everything the same other than missing a few unimportant QTEs like Anu getting grabbed by the claw at the chapter's beginning and Ock messing up the 1^st phone number and choosing “The Almighty Skateboard” when asked by Susan, “Who's the boss?” That put my skateboard score at 73% and it seems the only way to get that ending is by having a score under 75% (the same thing happened when I was going for the Ock death after Anu reunited with the shard and ended up getting the neutral ending there, too).

 

For Ock & Fran's endings, I had to replay the entire 5^th episode. I did the most heinous things possible like having Ock shoot his leg and shoot the VIP. Anu's choices when reflecting in the other realm were mostly selfish with the most important choice during her flashback is Ock wanted to be “seen” instead of “heard”. Make sure Fran not only does the farting noises, but also gives into her anger, calls out Ock for holding a gun to his head, doesn't hug Anu, and misses the froyo QTEs.

 

To get Ock's ending, Anu rejected the shard before I missed all the unimportant QTEs and was selfish including not telling Anu about the eridium. To get Fran's ending, Anu accepted the shard, Fran told Anu she lost her mind, and Ock hugged Anu. After Fran's ending, I discovered that her relationship score with Ock was the lowest; making me believe that her death is dependent on their relationship score instead of her relationship level with Anu and/or both. Anu and Ock's respective deaths are solely dependent on their relationship level being the lowest.

 

Hopefully this helps a little for those still struggling to get all the endings.

Thanks for adding some great notes!

I just used Commander Clifs walkthrough for the best ending and nothing popped for New Business. The ending rating says I have 8/10 but my skateboard rating never changes above 75%. Not sure if this is relevant. 

 

I'm out of ideas for the New Business trophy. 5th time it's said 8/10 and I've only received 75%.

Just to clarify, this post was to work on the multiple endings for the "You've Played This Before?" trophy. Have you gotten all of those? For me while working on one of the endings I was able to get the New Business trophy as well but that was just how my own luck got me through as I ended stronger than walk through I was using since I didn't start from the beginning I had a better rating at my starting point. I would hate to post a walkthrough video if you would prefer that but one of the other topics on the forum here should have some video embeds. Looked up a text walkthrough and saw some replies that those didn't give someone the same result so would hate to share that. A video walkthrough might be best after confirming that others have used it successfully. 

Wish I could help more with this crappy game! I did read that failing a QTE will lower skateboard rating, so make sure you are hitting them right or exiting right away on any glitch. I read elsewhere that disabling the QTEs in the menu didn't affect the score negatively but not sure how to confirm that.

Still missing the neutral ending but my endurance is sapped. Also it shouldn't matter ending wise for your Best Ending walkthrough if you start a completely new game. Fuck this game.

Indeed this game sucks. I did read on one forum that there was a difference in doing a from the beginning run vs. starting a run from when the Louie first mentions the Skateboard ratings. So I believe it's pretty much confirmed that final numbers are based on decisions for full game. 

[kornlosthead1]

So, I had a skateboard score of about 60 percent at the end of 3, found this guide about 20 percent into episode 4, followed it and ended with 72 percent rating, and only relationship below 50 percent was Anu with her brother. Followed the best ending guide the entire 5th episode, ended with 73 percent rating, Fran and Anu below 50 percent, Louie dead, neutral ending. Kind of confused. The internet said that I needed at least 60 percent by the end of episode 4 to get the 75 percent rating by the end, yet I started with 72 and only went up 1 point.

It's a shit show for sure. Best that seems to be pieced together is that there are decisions made in episode 1 before the skateboard rating is introduced that affects the score. Even people following a full playthough have gotten variations on scores which could be a result of successfully or failing a QTE as well. It seems obvious when one is missed but I also see how it could go missed not noticed when having to sit through the script over and over without being able to skip dialogue.  

[HcFranck]

Alright , i'm going crazy over here ... what a shitshow this platinum is . I already unlocked all endings but Fran dying.

Here what my latest ending was

60% skateboard
31% Anu/Fran
37% Anu/Octavio
42% Oct/Fran

so normally lowest % goes to Fran to die , noppppeee octavio dying. I just don't understand ...and i dont know what to do
 

[darthadi]

after getting best ending with new buisness got neutral ending fran death and anu death from replay chapter 5,octavio just wont die followed various guides just get best or neutral ending or someone else dies.going to try the method of just let it run and see what happens

its just a waste of 2hours replaying chapter 5 just to get the same ending all the time

 

 

so after letting auto play as per above  2hrs and yes    fran dies 

not sure what to try next

Edited February 24, 2023 by darthadi

[darthadi]

so after a few more trys of replaying chapter 5 i must of tried every combination to get octavio to die with no luck.,i can only think because everyone got to the best endings in different ways want worked for them wont work for you.tried the auto play chaper 5 with no luck so now trying a auto play from the start of ep1 to see what happens,there must be so many combinations to the endings i wounder if anyone at gearbox knows how to get them        probably not  lol

[darthadi]

after donig a auto play run through doing the odd input so stop it failing,following instructions listed above finally got octavio death ending (hug anu)

skateboard 46%

brain n brawn 47%

sis n bro 47%

frogurts n tacos 38%

 

hope this helps anyone struggling

finally have the plat on ps5 not sure i can go through that again on ps4
