Welcome to our comprehensive guide for achieving 100% completion in Gestalt: The Fifth Day. This guide will cover all 28 Achievements and provide tips and strategies for unlocking them. Please note that we will not be including solutions for each scenario, as the developer has already provided a guide for those. This guide is a work in progress and we welcome any helpful contributions. Let’s get started!
Disclaimers
For getting the good endings please refer to this guide which is made by the dev themself

As mentioned above, any help is very welcome, you can just put it in the comments, ill update the guide accordingly an give you a mention!
Endings
Get Ending I.
You get this on the 5th day if you dont put in the Angels correct name when it asks for your plea.
Get Ending II.
You get this when you spell the correct name of the angel on the 5th day. In order to get that name you need to get the good ending on each scenario, after each the ugly fairy tells you one part of the name. Combine all 3 in the end to spell the angels correct name.
Get Ending II on your first playthrough.
*Easily missed, im still looking for ways to get this after missing it.
Get Ending III.
For this you need to get the ‘Ritual’ Scenario on day 4 where you need to get rid of the eyeball on your hand (and your entire body). You need to get the bad ending in this scenario and then finish day 5 where you get alternative dialogue as in ending 1.
THE FOURTH DAY
A bit more ominous as the other endings, this one occurs on the 4th day scenario ‘Eternity’. For this you need to need to solve the puzzle with the breaker box and get to the attic where you find the small entity but tell it to “Get out” which will reset the day once again. Repeat this a few times till you get this ending.
Get Ending V.
This one is a bit more involved, it starts with the day 3 scenario ‘Emma’. When you keep chatting with Emma till youre past all dialogues youll get a secret code: KINJAKO101493 which, once entered into the laptop, makes you enter ‘Super Emma Mode’ upon the next day. Finishing this gives you ending 5.
Get every ending.
You get this after getting all 5 endings mentioned above.
Get the good ending to every scenario.
To get this the easiest way enter the scenario picker code on day 1 so you can choose the scenarios you havent done yet. You can look at the devs guide if youre stuck on a day. This achievement doesnt involve the scenarios added by the DLC.
Get the bad ending to every scenario.
Opposite to the previous achievement, its usually easier to get the bad ending to each scenario. Im not sure if for the ‘ETERNITY’ scenario the 4th ending counts as the bad ending for that scenario, need confirmation for that. This one also doesnt involve the DLC scenarios.
Get the true ending to Another Day.
This is for the ‘Another Day’ DLC which you unlock after getting ending 2. Ill add a playthrough guide for that later.
Get the good ending to every original scenario in the game, every new scenario, the true ending to Another Day.
Basically an updated version to the “A Wonderful Life” achievement to include the DLC scenarios.
The DLC scenarios are ‘BUTCHER’ on day 2, ‘GNOMES’ on day 3 and ‘DUNGEON’ on day 4.
Get the bad ending to every original scenario in the game, every new scenario, both ending bad endings to Another Day.
Again, the opposite to the previous one. I havent unlocked this one yet so ill update it with more information later.
Scenario Specific
Day 2 Scenarios
Get the good ending to the RATS scenario after choosing to kill them.
In order to get this youll need to pick up the shovel from the living room, the Borid Acid from the bathroom and the chocolate from the fridge. You need to get the acid first before you can find the chocolate in the fridge. Go to the basement and use the workbench to combine the chocolate with the acid, then go to the bedroom and decide to kill the rats. Choose the poison and the shovel and the rest of the day gives you the achievement.
Feed every plant the wrong item in the PLANTS scenario.
Youll need to find all 5 ingredients throughout the house and feed them in the following order:
1. Plant Food, 2. Mouse, 3. Spider, 4. Salmon, 5. Coffee
*Need confirmation for this, i didnt write it down when i got the achievement so this might be off a bit.
Get the good ending in the MOTHER scenario.
Pretty straight forward, you need to get the hairpins from the sink in the bathroom, the lighter from the wardrobe in the bedroom and the bottle of vodka from the fridge in the kitchen. Kill all the baby spiders, go to the basement and deal with the big spider.
Get the bad ending to the BUTCHER scenario while in the kitchen after getting attacked in the kitchen during Day 1.
This requires the DLC! On day 1 when youre in the kitchen preparing a meal you can interact with the knife block which can prompt an entity to attack you. After getting attacked you need to get the BUTCHER scenario on day 2, you can use the scenario picker to guarantee that. Here you need to hide in the kitchen, check for the entity breathing and when you hear it, leave the hiding place to get attacked again which gives you the achievement.
Day 3 Scenarios
Complete all of Emma’s topics in the EMMA scenario.
Quite straightforward, in the EMMA scenario you can chat with Emma. Just exhaust all the dialogues with her and you get this.
Complete all of Emma’s topics in the EMMA scenario, get the good ending to the EMMA scenario and beat Super Emma Mode.
2 of those conditions we have already met by talking with emma and getting the 5th ending, to get the good ending for the EMMA scenario you need the candles from the basement and the photo from the bedroom. You need to hold the sceance in the living room and pick the 2nd and 5th symbol.
Get every question correct in the TRAINING scenario.
For this you need to pick all the obvious answers during the normal section and do exactly the opposite of what the entity tells you. In the end rate the experience ‘Overwhelmingly positive’ and youre done.
Listen to every radio broadcast in the RADIO scenario.
This can be a bit deceiving at first, youll have to keep listening to the radio till it turns itself off. After all the regular broadcasts it will just repeat “Arm yourself” 10 times which throws most people off. Just keep on listening to the radio till it says that Wicke knows too much, youll get it afterwards.
Get the alternative bad ending to the Gnome scenario.
This requires the DLC! For this you need to give each gnome the correct offering but you need to lock up the wrong gnome. The correct offerings are:
1. Hairpins, 2. Candy Bar, 3. Sleeping Mask, 4. Water, 5. Nails
The traitor Gnome is the 2nd one.
Day 4 Scenarios
Allow the [???] to grow to its full size during the DRAIN scenario.
Here the easiest way is to go into the living room and checking the television, it gives you a “Timer Count”. by leaving and entering rooms this will increaes by 1 each time. When this counter says “TOO LATE” go into the kitchen and you get this achievement.
Secrets and Miscellaneous
Find the message from the developer.
For this youll have to enter the code KINJA into the laptop.
Unlock and activate both the original secret codes.
The first code is the one you get from finishing Emmas dialogues which is: KINJAKO101493
The second code unlocks when get the good ending from the DLC which unlocks the scenario picker. The code is KINJAKO022920
Both codes have to be entered on the same day for the achievement to unlock.
Read the entirety of “The Angel of Odd.”
For this you need to enter ‘Angel’ into the laptop which gives you a story written by Edgar Allan Poe.
Read (or skip) through the entire thing to get this achievement.
Unsolved ones
You found something you shouldn’t have.
All i know about this one is that it involves a certain image and a code on the laptop. Ive found all the info i have in this youtube video: https://youtu.be/0KpEThI3T-8?si=SFfw6UeRTFyNBo_0&t=903
I found the picture and it is titled “My name is a series of clicks over the soundwaves”. Do with that what you will
Beat the free-play version of The Last Dungeon 10 times in one play session.
I havent figured out how to access the free play version of The Last Dungeon yet, any help or tip is appreciated!
Unlock and activate every secret code in the game.
This is an updated version of the ‘Secret Keeper’ achievement from the base game. In the update with the DLC they added 2 more secret codes as stated in the changelog, i havent found any so far.
