Troublemaker / Obviously the Canon Ending
Attention SPOILERS ahead:
So after 3 playthroughs on normal, hard and nightmare, I finally gave up on getting all achievements. I got all notes and butterflies as well as saved all 9 persons. I am still missing to find all delinquent scenes, the canon ending (dog ending) and to find 3 notes (which is bugged I assume). So for the delinquent scenes I have no idea. I thought I got it when I found all 9 persons and was able to redeem them, but this is not meant with delinquent scenes it seems.
And about the dog ending - it might have something to do with the "squeek toy" which is a toy for a dog, but i tried alot with it and it didnt lead to anything. Some people in other threads mentioned to talk with the dog / treat him well but I dont have any idea how this can be done. The dog dialogs appear from time to time, but I dont have any influence on them.

So the game was fun, but i am kinda sad that i wasnt able to get the true ending on my own. The ending i got with the flowers is unsatisfying in my opinion, but I probably wont go for a fourth playthrough. Therefore, I might as well ask for what i should have done to get it because im kind of courios. Can anybody tell me ?

Edit: Please dont tell me the bad ending (which i never got) is the canon ending...

I guess finding 3 notes is still bugged. Going to double-check the Troublemaker one.

For Troublemaker there are 3 scenes:
1. In the clean version of the hospital, closer to the beginning of the game, there's a supply closet you can go into. Claire comments that she shouldn't be in there.

2. In General/Building B there's a room with pills in a cabinet. You can take the pills, restoring Claire's health. You can only get the achievement if you do take the pills, I am going to change this to any dialogue option in the next patch.

3. In the beginning of the school if you go into the resource room she talks about stealing supplies. I have seen people skip this entire section of the school.


For "Obviously the Canon Ending":
Obviously the Canon Ending is a NewGame+ only ending that requires very specific actions to take place. It's actually a bad/joke ending of sorts, nobody has figured it out yet, though.

A few hints. It happens at the end of the school, not the end of the game and involves treating Anubis poorly, not well. There is one major decision that treats Anubis poorly, other than that it's avoiding dialogue points where Claire talks to Anubis or playing the game intentionally/unintentionally very poorly and rushing through the game.

I confirm, Finding 3 notes is bugged. I know I found more than 3 and didn't get the achievement.

Added a new patch today, 1.045 might fix the issue.

Oh my god I thought about ditching Anubis in the closet to get the S ending. I just never had the heart to leave the poor doggie there.

So I just did everything you said; Rushed through the entire game without getting any optional talks, abandonned Anubis in the library closet too nothing happened. Do I have to redeem people too? It might be because I was using an old save with the key items all messed up on NG+.. I'll try a fresh game and see later.

That is is a good example for why i wont try to get this ending anymore ^^
But thank you Joshua for these informations. I am relieved that i did not miss anything important.

I visited all the 3 locations you have mentioned and still didnt got the achievement - but i dont mind. The thing important to me was to find out about the alternate ending. I think the title "Obviously the canon ending" is confusing for people like me who dont get the irony. I had to look up the term canon ending and found out that it is a synonym for a "true ending", which would imply an alternate ending to the one waking up in the hospital bed, which is open for many interpretations.

For troublemaker, it worked for me. If you want I can just publish my guide I made for it. S ending will have to be finished later once it's fixed.

Don't worry, i was just curios about how to get it. However, i visited all the locations Joshua mentioned, therefore i know i didnt miss a room. I don't really care for the actual achievement :) But thanks for the offer!

A possible reason for not getting the achievement might be something i noticed on my 2nd and last playthrough. After loading a game, several rooms on the map were dark (not green) like i wouldnt have visited them, which i did for certain. When i visited these rooms a second time, events would start as it was my first time in that particular room. For example: I saved at the savepoint after getting back the backpack. When i load the game on the next day, i walked back to make sure not to miss a room or an item. I came across the same hall where the backpack was lying on the floor. Claire starts to say something about finding her backpack... like she hasnt already got it back before.
For me it seems like the parameter for certain rooms which tell the game if Claire already visited or not is set to default after loading a game. This also applies to doors which can only be opened after going through them from the other side - for me this often meant going a long detour instead of going the shortcut after loading a game. Ofc i am only talking about some of the rooms, most of them are not affected by this.

Well I'll release my guide eventually :P Whenever I get around to managing to get S ending on my own that is.
