The Complex – Achievement Hints

There are fantastic 100% achievement guides in the fastest time possible, so I thought I’d create an alternative for people who are trying to discover them themselves and don’t want the answers fully spelled out for them.

Hints to Help People Figure Them Out for Themselves

Сrеdit gоеs to Son of a Lich!

Plot Achievements

People Pleaser

You just need to either be nice or tell people what they want to hear.

• In the first scene, the guy likes you to be lighthearted and the woman prefers honesty
• Dr. North wants you to check on her
• Sympathize with Clare and ease her pain
• Just select all the kind or flirty options with Rees
• Do whatever Emily asks you to do and don’t accuse her of anything
• Ponytail will always be 52%, so he is automatic
• Nathalie needs you to side or deal with her to preserve the nanotech
• If you don’t interact with Parker, he’ll be 54% or above

Note that if you have already beaten the game, you can just please the first two characters, Rees, and Emily and then take the ambulance to get this achievement vs. pleasing all 9 characters.

Not a People Person

• In the first scene, give the injection to someone you upset (i.e., the opposite of People Pleaser) to have them both die
• Dr. North and Dr. Ponytail die automatically
• Antagonize Clare the whole game and let her be in pain
• Sacrifice Rees
• When you take Clare with you, you will be able to kill everyone else in an office
