Merry Bad END achievement

[Yan17]

Hello everyone!

Has anyone gotten the Merry Bad END achievement? So far, my progress shows 3/8 (even though I think I already got four or so?).

The bad ends I got are as follows:

- getting the murder mystery in the parlor wrong (eg. accuse the maid)
- open the wrong coffin or turn the key too early
- fail the diorama puzzle
- Lucas sends the guards for you

I really don't know what else to do, I have finished the game with all endings otherwise. Any help would be appreciated.

It's important to note the distinction between a Bad END and a Merry Bad END; the latter will have a specific name tied to it and usually (but not always; two are often triggered accidentally) require a specific action to be taken in order to count.

Thus, the four you've listed are not Merry Bads, since they are just puzzle failures.

If you want to know where to look, then:

Two of the Merry Bad ENDs can be found in Owen's route, three in Lucas's, and a further three in Mia's; it's two of Mia's that are the ones often triggered accidentally, and likely account for two of your three.

Specifically, the ENDs you're looking for are titled:
Abnegation END
A Great Fall END
Crying Wolf END
Fruitless END
Hopeless END
Tick Tock END
Unprepared END
Unseamed END

And as a final hint without giving the answers away: Three of the eight have to do with how you talk to and approach Claire; upsetting her may cause... problems, shall we say.

Thanks for the hints. I finally got another ending Crying Wolf END. No real luck so far with the others.
