Lucid 9: The Lazy (Wo)Man's Quick Reference to Puzzles, Tests, and Bad Ends

For those who are too lazy to google riddles, by one who's too lazy to write an actually good guide. There are spoilers, so exercise caution as you read.

General "Tips"

Pretty Simple. Save at every choice. The only reason I didn't have to re-play the entire game multiple times is because I saved like 40 saves. It's worth it. Also then you can go back to flirt with all the cute girls you didn’t flirt with the first time around.

Oh yeah and always watch gover mecher. It's pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. (This is not legit advice)

There's probably more, but I'm a noob VN player.

Observing Shigure

Because stalking an apparently underage detective is a lot harder than you might expect.

You could always stumble through it spam clicking like I did, but there may or may not be an achievement associated with it (I don't even know) so here are all the correct answers.

“Her Clothes” solutions:

1) Her clothes
2) Hat and jeans

“Her Body Language” solutions:

1) Fighting stance
2) Right hand
3) Wants to be underestimated

“The circumstances” solutions:

1) A long time ago
2) She is testing him (But we all know she really has a crush on him. No that’s not creepy at all what are you talking about)

History Test

Because sometimes you play games because you're trying NOT to take history tests.

1) Raw materials, strategic advantage, and new markets
2) The theory that everything is opposite but complementary
3) Buddhism, Christianity, Islam
4) Industrialize China’s economy
5) Manorialism

Errand Boy 101 aka Riddlez Plz Mercy

Freaking Shigure.

Water Bottle Puzzle
1) Try to solve the puzzle
2) The Water Bottle
3) Contents
4) Pour the water down the pipe

Petri Dish Puzzle
12:44 (You have to manually type it in and hit enter. I know. So complicated zzz)

(If you're wondering WAT WHY BE THIS 12:44 HALP I'll put an explanation at the bottom of the section)

Ball Puzzle
1) Try to solve the puzzle
2) Direction
3) Up

Brothers Puzzle
"Switch Horses"


Petri Dish Explanation:
The bacteria doubles every minute. It's half full at 12:43. If you double a half, you get one whole. Therefore the dish will be full at 12:44.

Which Frandz Do I Love

Your options are Entrance, Cafeteria, Rooftop, and Courtyard.

Entrance: Shigure, Airi, and Rui
Cafteria: Misaki and Masato
Rooftop: Yahiko and Akira
Courtyard: Elizabeth and Natsuki

Pick whichever one suits your fancy, but make sure you save and read them all. They're all great.

Which Girl is Best Girl?

SPOILERS FOR GAME MECHANICS BUT NOT PLOT

Say yes to all the options. You get to read all the amazing scenes, and you can pick the route at the end.

Piecing the Evidence Together

Yama's frighteningly good at impersonating the people he knows.

Ryouta? Section
1) Haru Bunya's phone
2) The wall-charging feature
3) Location of death
4) No, there was a prominent accident elsewhere
5) Limit the suspect pool

Masato? Section
1) I'm still alive

Elizabeth? Section
1) Get help
2) He doesn't trust the police

Rui? Section
1) Just once

The Climax (Good End)

Warning:HIGH amount of spoilers. It can't be helped. It's built into the options. My recommendation is try to beat the game on your own first, then only consult this if you get stuck. The bad ends are well worth reading, honestly. Regardless, SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE.

Alright, warning out of the way. Let's go.

Phone Conversations
1) Answer the phone
2) Refuse these terms
3) Reject these terms
4) Accept these terms


THE SHOWDOWN
1) Two students
2) Stall x4
3) Hit the girl
4) Stall x3
5) Hit the girl
6) Stall x1
7) Hit the girl
8) Stall x3
9) Hit the girl
10) Kill the girl

Guide Conclusion/Final Thoughts

Congratz. Enjoy the rest of the game.

Let me know if any of the above information is incorrect. I may have made typos or something, and I'll edit it as soon as I can. Or let me know if there's anything I didn't include that you would like included. I left out some of the options that don't really matter.

Hope the "guide" was helpful. Let me know what you think.

does answering the phone after figuring out mr ryouta affect the outcome?

[Moody]

Wait which girl is best girl? I do not remeber any decision like that ftw?

[Moody]

@Terraxtroyer
How do you chose? For me it automaticly chose for Yama to wait for his parents to come. Where in the end Yama just killed himself. I got no option. How do i get that?

[ryanshinramen]

what's so annoying is that the bad endings are triggered if Rui is killed by Ryouta, but even if you save her from Ryouta, the game is like, f*** all your hard work, let's force Yama to pick one of three girls to say goodbye too instead of going off to Rui's house before you say goodbye to everyone, in which he'll be so busy that Natsuki can waltz over to Rui's house in district 2 and murder her and her family. When Rui and her family get murdered by Natsuki, it triggers the good ending which makes no f****** sense if the bad ending is triggered by Rui getting killed at all.

i for the life of me can not get the good ending I dont understand what i could be doing wrong

[RampantPoultry]

Glad to hear it's helping people :)

[Scribblegs]

i did everything right up to the end except the amount of stalling

this helped
kthxbye

[eco]

thanks for guide..

[Ace in the Hole]

I looked at this directly a matter of seconds after beating the game... I'm absolutely breathless. God, I accidentally did everything right in the end. I didn't know whether or not even stalling was doing something, but I did it out of sheer hope. Props to you for making this.

[Canadian_Zac]

Well... This is annoying. I made every decision perfect, up until, accept the terms. I diddn't know there were other terms. And i don't save very often. Damn it, i'm too used to games having auto save.
