Preface
The items, objects, and devices in your room are vital to performing rituals. Read the text in the book carefully. Another thing to note is that to unlock the final chapter, you have to find three secrets in total, which can be found in Chapters One & Two.
- Ritual Knife: On the left, above the bust that holds the mask and ritual amulet.
- Ritual Amulet: On the bust on the left side of the room.
- Ritual Mask: The top part of the bust on the left side of the room.
- Ritual Robe: All the way on the left, tucked in the cupboard.
- Offering: The mini-fridge tucked underneath your desk by your bed.
- Life: The unlucky turtle situated above your desk.
- Candles: Clicking on the candles on the ritual circle will alternate between red lighting, black lighting, and off.
- Sources of Light: The lamp and light switch by your bed, the candles on the floor, and the curtains on the left side of the room.
- Ritual Marks: Clicking the chalkboard to the left of the ritual circle will change the chalk drawing on the board.
- Locations: You can go outside by scrolling to the right and clicking the rightmost door. You can also enter the bathroom by clicking the door adjacent to it.
Chapter One – Ln’eta
- Go through the initial introduction text until you’re free to inspect your room.
- Inspect the pink journal you’ve recently obtained.
- Perform ‘The Calling’ ritual.
Secret: If you peek into the shower while Ln’eta is using it, you will get the ‘Worth It’ ending on the sequence board.
- Perform the ‘Invoke the Depths’ ritual.
- Attempt to perform the ‘Unspeakable Horror’ ritual
- After learning that you cannot perform the ritual and speaking with Ln’eta, perform the ‘Eldritch Mouth’ ritual.
Secret: After performing the ‘Eldritch Mouth’ ritual, go back to the ‘Unspeakable Horror’ ritual and perform it. This will give you a point towards unlocking the final chapter.
After a conversation with Ln’eta and a new character, perform the ‘Metamorphosis’ ritual.
- Perform the ‘Prepare Offering’ ritual
- Perform the ‘Reach into Oblivion’ ritual
- After completing the ritual, open your journal again and flip the page until you reach the ‘Escape Reality’ ritual. * Do note that once you begin this ritual, you must finish it’s following steps quickly, as you’ll be left vulnerable.
- Perform the ‘Dark Communion’ ritual
- Turn off the lamp and overhead light for Ln’eta.
- Perform the ‘Final Pledge’ ritual.
- After a final conversation with Ln’eta, click the smooch button and viola, you’ve smooched an eldritch being and obtained the ‘Awake Ending’.
Alternate Ending: If you instead perform the ‘Breakup’ ritual, you will be awarded with the ‘Good Enough Ending’.
Chapter Two – Estir
- After a lengthy intro cutscene, you’ll be reintroduced to your bedroom, subtly altered to fit the current chapter. Open the playbook you received, and perform ‘Act I: Invitation’.
- Perform the ‘Eldritch Mouth’ ritual again.
Secret: Light the candles to a black flame and flip to the final page of the yellow playbook and a ritual will be available to you. Complete the ritual to gain a point towards unlocking the third chapter.
- After speaking with Ln’eta again, you’ll be given a choice of how to proceed from now on. Your decision and next objective can be determined by the book you’re carrying (Which you can swap on the bottom right).
Ln’eta Path:
- Make sure that you have Ln’eta’s pink journal selected, and open it to the page for the ‘Metamorphosis’ ritual. Do note that performing this ritual after performing Estir’s ‘Masquerade’ ritual will have dire consequences.
- Perform the ‘Metamorphosis’ ritual again.
Secret: Open the curtain while Ln’eta is sitting on your bed to let Estir in. This will trigger a dialogue between the two, ultimately leading to you getting another Ending.
- Perform the ‘Dark Communion’ ritual again.
.Secret: Before doing the Final Pledge ritual, instead switch to Estir’s playbook and perform her rituals. Following this path will lead to the ‘Terrible Ending’
- After speaking with Ln’eta and turning off all the lights, open the journal and perform the ‘Final Pledge’ ritual. This will give the ‘Awakened Redux’ ending.
Estir Path:
- Perform the ‘Masquerade’ ritual (Do note that you have to click on the mirror when you’re inspecting it to activate this one.)
- Perform ‘Act 2: Constellation’.
- Perform the ‘Banquet’ ritual.
Secret: Complete the steps needed for the banquet, except close your curtains to keep Estir out of the room and light the candles black. This will award you a point towards unlocking the final chapter.
- Perform ‘Act 3: Eclipse’.
- Perform ‘The Yellow Sign’ to get the ‘King In White Ending’.
Chapter Three – Nyanlathotep
- After a lengthy intro cutscene, open the blue journal given to you by Nyan, and perform the ‘Banish Muu’ ritual.
- This will award you with the ‘Together Forever Ending’.
Resist Nyanlathotep Path:
- Turn off all the lights, and turn the candles on to a black light. If you look at your journal now, it should be very different, complete with different rituals. Perform the ‘Banish Nyanlathotep’ ritual.
- Important Note: From here on out, you’ll be doing a slew of Counter-Evil rituals against Nyanlathotep. Your Smooch bar will turn into a Health bar, and taking too long to perform Counter-Evil rituals will take away a heart. After the initial Porosity, they will be completely random, so make sure you pay close attention to what’s occurring around you, and read carefully to commit to the proper ritual.
- Perform ‘Counter-Evil: Porosity’.
- Continue to perform the proper Counter-Evil rituals.
- Eventually Nyan will give up, awarding you the ‘Final Ending’.
found out that you have to do it after the banquet to do it. you will get the same text but just a different ending.
To anyone having issues getting the Till We Meet Again Ending. I found the issue. You will fail to get this ending if you decide to do The Banquet first. Doing the Banquet will lock you into the FriendZoned Ending if you follow the guide above. Instead, what you need to do is do all of L’Neta’s journal directly after doing The Masquerade. The text will be the same on the ending, but it will have slight alterations. Hope this helps.
I was rattling my brain to this for a couple of hours before I figured it out. Lol
A better explanation for those having problems on chapter 2 endings.
For the special endings on chapter 2 that require at least one or two broken hearths the best point in the story to do them:
Ln’eta: Do Estir route until you have enough hearts with her depending if you want the one or two broken heart ending with Ln’eta. Right after stop doing Estir route by just closing the curtain and keeping it close.
For one broken heart with Ln’eta for Met Ag-end is right after the Masquerade (and not do anything for Estir).
For two broken hearts for the ending Fri-End-zoned is right after the Banquet.
You can know this if you see that Estir has 1 or 2 hearts already for the corresponding ending. So its easy to do Ln’eta right after those ones by just closing the curtains.
Estir: Do Ln’eta route until you have enough hearts with her depending if you want the one or two borken heart ending with Estir. This one is tricky so stick with me and read carefully.
For one broken heart with Estir for Enslavem-End is right after Methamorphosis. After doing that go to the page that Ln’eta wrote herself and wait a few seconds, after the conversation she will leave the room to do stuff. Once she leaves you can do Estir route for the Enslavem-End.
For two broken heart with Ester for Terrible End is right after Ln’eta falls asleep, right there you can open the curtains without getting the game over of them meeting. Follow Estir route as normal and Ln’eta will disappear from the bed anyway.
Estir is difficult but you just need to know when to start it so Ln’eta and Estir dont meet up.
The reason why people are getting the Fri-end-zone ending instead of the Till We Meet Ag-end is because the guide poorly explains that you are NOT suppose to do the Banquet and the Masquerade together before doing Ln’eta version (Dark Communion and Metamorphosis).
You can do Banquet and still get Till We Meet Ag-end if you do Metamorphosis BEFORE doing Masquerade, as that will give you only one heart from the bad route on Dark Communion. But is more easy by just doing Masquerade and stopping Estir route there to continue with Ln’eta.
I cant botch the banquet to get the secret point, the guide says to close the curtains so that Estir goes away, but as soon as I finish chanting, it asks me to open them…
Great guide<3
Honestly, getting the alternate endings in CH2 is the worst part of the game; and frankly, made it unfun to try once I had already beaten each path once.
The problem is the inability to easily trace your paths; you know you need 1-2 broken hearts, and generally how to get them, but the order for the dual-paths together but seperate endings gets easily lost – especially when restarting from a later checkpoint undoes certain heart progress.
Each of the endings in Chapter 2 are determined on how many full and broken hearts the girl you finish with has. 0 broken, 1 broken, and 2 broken for each girl has a different ending. To get broken hearts, do their heart awarding rituals AFTER you do the one for the other girl.
There’s only 4 endings here in chapter 2 but aren’t there six?
