Hunting for Dead Ends can be fun, so only use this guide if you have no other options. Each Dead End will be labeled with a spoiler tag and there will be a note for unique CGs. Let’s get started!”
True End 1-1 Against All Odds
Dead End 1-2: Salt is for Cooking
1) Properly set up the ritual at the beginning of the game, and go to sleep.
2) After waking up, mess up the ritual by either giving the wrong response through the phone, or being too slow and missing the bus.
NOTE: As far as I know, typing wrong numbers into the phone doesn’t break the ritual rules. I put in random numbers three times without any issues.
3) Interact with the computer and follow the instructions to reverse the ritual.
4) Go to bed to trigger the Dead End.
Dead End 1-3: A Walk in the Dark
2) Once you travel far enough, the Dead End sequence should trigger.
Dead End 1-4: Carried Away
1) Board the bus and continue through the segment as normal.
2) After waking up surrounded by monsters, stay on the bus until the timer runs out.
3) Past that point, the rest of the sequence is pretty straightforward.
Dead End 1-5: Become Snack
2) Purchase chips from the outside vending machine and eat them when prompted.
NOTE: You have to eat them when asked. You can’t keep the chips and eat them later.
Dead End 1-6: Ground Swallow Me Up
1) Enter the fairy circle in the area directly after the Daylight Gate.
NOTE: There is a special method that avoids this Death End, by opening the mirror attached to the central tree and dumping Alba’s entire stock into it. If you want the Death End, enter the fairy circle without doing this.
2) Use the scissors on the plant that appears to have something inside of it.
3) Explore the entire area, the proceed down the hole that goes deeper.
4) Sneak through the next few puzzles. Fairy heads with teeth see in a vertical line below them. Fairy heads with eyes see in a horizontal line directly below them. Fairy heads with teeth and eyes see in both directions. Black plants block the field of view of any fairy head.
5) Reach the end of the area to trigger the Dead End.
Dead End 1-7: Mortal Immortalized
2) After triggering the chase sequence, run to the first room of the building and travel through the left exit. Traveling through the bottom exit will complete the chase sequence, and you will need to interact with the NPC again to get the Dead End.
3) After traveling through the left exit, the Dead End will trigger.
Dead End 1-8: Part of Your World
2) After leaving the shrine, explore the rest of the Lakeside.
3) Travel back to the entrance of the shrine area. There should be a white rabbit near the shore before the entrance. Interact with it to trigger the Dead End. If you don’t see the white rabbit, make sure to explore all of the central area and interact with the red rabbits.
Dead End 1-9: Doubt
2) Travel back to the cell block where you first woke up. Sai will hold the door to keep you from getting locked in.
3) Climb back through the vent that you first used to escape.
4) Loop back around to where you left Sai. This should trigger the Dead End.
NOTE: You can explore a decent amount of the Facility on your own by ditching Sai, and can even get a unique conversation on the phone with Hiro if you enter the bathroom without him. I believe Rune also gets new dialogue options.
Dead End 1-10: Sensory Overload
1) Find the gated door at the top of the central area of the Facility.
2) Power it using the number 5 fuse at the electrical panel.
3) Travel back to the gated door, open it, and head inside.
4) Interact with the black cloak left on the chair, and, when prompted, put it on.
Dead End 1-11: Deep Sea Misadventure
2) Enter the elevator and travel to floor B4. The Dead End will trigger whether you drained the lower floors or not.
NOTE: Thank God the devs didn’t give this ending a unique CG.
Dead End 1-12: What’s At Stake
2) After lighting the fireplace, insert the five blessings in the wrong order. This will trigger a cutscene that leads to the Dead End.
Dead End 1-13: Stuffed Animal
2) Travel back to the spot where Rune originally was, and go up the path above him.
NOTE: Most of the Facility will be locked off, so you can find the Dead End in a short time by backtracking and exploring everything you can access.
