Press The Serpent & Silence The Serpent

[Mp3. Mp4]

I am trying to 100% this game and I need these two. Is it possible for me too get both on the same run or will I have to reload a save?

I guess you need to reload.

[Tax evasion]

It is possible. Just make sure you have a backup you can restore before the final conversation happens.

[PsypherWolf]

Yes, but you need to avoid talking to the serpent until close to the end of the last puzzles of section C, e.g. C7. Then you can do all the dialog trees at once, banish the serpent and then load a previous backup to make a deal with him.

To gain 'press the serpent' answer a question with a question at the terminal. Similar to the way politicians answer when they are questioned by a good media interviewer.

You'll need to reload/backup.

I'm bummed. I just silenced the serpent, because I was totally fed up with it. It wasn't even presenting arguments anymore, just ad hominem attacks. Then I checked my achievements and discovered that I'd failed to achieve Press the Serpent.

I think I'm highly logical. I worked as a computer programmer for years, and I've started doing a bit of development on my own time. How come I wasn't able to press the serpent?

I wonder if it was because I let emotion get into the discussion. Is it possible that Milton is programmed to manipulate the emotions, even though it's interacting with robots?

Once, Milton started talking like a laissez-faire capitalist or a Fox & Friend pundit. That was interesting. I can't remember what argument I offered to trigger that.

Really? Why do you need to avoid talking to it until the end of C?

So you can do all dialogue trees in one fell swoop, banish him, load a backup and then do the dialogue trees for another option, just so you can avoid doing the entire game all over again.

I see. Clever!
