Please Be Happy: Please Be Happy – 100% Achievement Guide

Welcome to my 100% guide for Please Be Happy, in order to get all achievements you’ll need to reach each of the games four endings, with two endings for each characters route. It took me approximately twelve hours to complete one route making the time required to complete around twenty four hours if you reread everything on your second route/playthrough.

That being said, lets begin.

Get every (other) achievement!
Unlocked once all of the below achievements are completed.

As you play through the chapters you will occasionally be given a view of Wellington and given the choice of where to go and who you can interact with. Some locations may appear with a clock icon next to them, this means that no character event will happen and visiting that area will provide just a small event involving unnamed characters you’ll never see again.

However you may occasionally see a characters portrait appear near one of these locations. This means you can interact with that character to progress a small part of their side story. These characters are Tommy, Mr. Kim and Lena (who should have had her own route…) who each have an achievement linked to the completion of their side story.

Put on a perfect performance with Lena
Complete Lena’s side story.

Landed a legendary catch with Mr. Kim
Complete Mr. Kim’s side story.

Made friends with Tommy
Complete Tommy’s side story.

My advice is just to pick these characters portraits whenever they appear on the map. I managed to get Lena and Mr. Kim’s achievements on my first route playthrough but was unable to get Tommy’s which I had to grab when I replayed a second time.

These achievements are unlocked for starting their retrospective chapters. Choices made do not affect these making them unmissable and obtainable just by playing.

Begin Chapter One
Unlocked near the start of the game.

Begin Chapter Two
Unlocked at the start of Chapter 2.

Begin Chapter Three
You guessed it, unlocks at the start of Chapter 3.

It is worth noting that NONE of the choices in the game effect who’s route you go down other than the one mentioned below. This decision is the sole decider on your playthroughs route.

During Chapter 3 Aspen will confess her love for you. You will shortly after be given a decision on if you return those feelings or not. If you do, you will go down Aspen’s route. If you decline you are locked into Juliet’s route instead. Each characters route has a “Wild” and “Comfy” ending linked to them.

If you only require the ending/route chapter achievements I suggest making a save at the above decision so you can quickly load back to before all the important choices.

Beginning Aspen’s route will guarantee you the below two achievements for progressing it.

Begin Chapter Four (Aspen Route)
Unlocked shortly after making the Chapter 3 decision to start Aspen’s Route.

Begin Chapter Five (Aspen Route)
Unlocked after starting Chapter Five of Aspen’s route.

Over the course of Chapters 4 + 5 you will be given four dialogue choices to make. The first one is a question, where your asked What’s you favourite place in Wellington? . I’ve marked it as a spoiler but it has no effect on your ending so pick whichever option you like. The other choices however do matter so answer based on the ending you want:

Achieve Aspen’s Comfy Ending

To get Aspen’s Comfy Ending, pick the following.
– Keep going
– I’m glad to have settled down now
– The familiar ones

Achieve Aspen’s Wild Ending

To get Aspen’s Wild Ending, pick the following.
– Leave it there
– I miss travelling to new places.
– The new ones

Beginning Juliet’s route will guarantee you the below two achievements for progressing it.

Begin Chapter Four (Juliet Route)
Unlocked a while after making your decision in Chapter 3.

Begin Chapter Five (Juliet Route)
Unlocked after starting Chapter Five of Juliet’s route.

Over the course of Chapters 4 + 5 you will be given four dialogue choices to make. The first one is a question, where your asked What’s you favourite place in Wellington? . I’ve marked it as a spoiler but it has no effect on your ending so pick whichever option you like. The other choices however do matter so answer based on the ending you want:

Achieve Juliet’s Comfy Ending

To get Juliet’s Comfy Ending, pick the following.
– Keep going
– I don’t want my current life to change
– I’m glad to have settled down now

Achieve Juliet’s Wild Ending

To get Juliet’s Wild Ending, pick the following.
– Leave it there
– I’m excited for what it could mean
– I miss travelling to new places.

And that’s everything, this game was a nice pleasant mix that I was surprised by the wholesomeness of. I’ll make changes if any updates ever come out or anything changes.

Thank you for taking the time to read through my little guide and I hope it helps.
