Episode 5 Chloe & Max Kiss (spoilers)

[Bullet_Catcher*]

What important decisions did you make to get Chloe and Max to kiss at the end? I kissed her when she dared me to. I sided with her against David. I took the blame for smoking weed.

I did pretty much everything to make her happy, but I still didn't get to kiss her. I need this scene for a fan video I'm making. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT:
Apparently the choice that matters is if you took Chloe's dare and kissed her and you didn't kiss Warren. Scroll down for more detailed descriptions of our choices.

:D

The only two things I can think of is that I chose not to kill her when she was disabled / dying, but I doubt that had anything to do with it, and I also decided to kiss Warren. Most likely the latter.

Basically, in order to even get a shot at getting that kiss, you have to condemn Chloe to death.

Life is strange that way.

Edit. I suppose you know that already. Hmm, possibly do the dare in EP3 and not kiss Warren in EP5?

I did choose to sacrifice Chloe, but they only hugged. Some people say that the choices before determine what happens.

Prolly the most important choices are to NOT romance Warren at all (don't agree to the movie and don't kiss him in the diner) and take the dare. I hugged warren in the diner and still got the kiss. (because I'm stupid and had to see both endings)

hmm...I didn't think about the movie with Warren. Good thing I have two saves where I have different choices. I'll test it out.

I think the thing that swung it was kissing Warren, tbh. Just taking the blame for her weed or siding with her in the argument with David is enough for her to kiss Max at the end (if Max took the dare/didn't kiss Warren).

Whether Max agreed to Warren's request for the movies or not doesn't seem to matter.

I think so too. I'm gonna go back a few chapters and test it out.

I'm not sure taking the blame for the weed has anything to do with the outcome, since I got the kiss even though I stayed hidden.

Other choices I made:
Took the dare
Hugged Warren
Sided with Chloe against David
Helped Chloe end her life in the "William Lives" alternate reality
Saw the movie with Warren (Doesn't affect the final kiss)
Let Chloe take the money
Didn't take Kate's call
Tried to shoot Frank

Those are all I can think of that could possibly affect the final kiss/hug. I'll update this post if I can think of any others.

Just because you didn't do it doesn't mean it isn't a factor. I know from testing that even if you side against Chloe in every other choice, taking the blame is enough for her to kiss you in Episode 5. I'm currently testing whether or not blaming her negatively impacts her desire to kiss Max, but taking the money, siding with Chloe, and taking the blame are all definitely each enough on their own (not factoring in kissing Warren).

I have one playthrough in which I didn't even have the option to kiss Warren yet didn't get the kiss from Chloe at the end either.
In my second playthrough I was offered a kiss from Warren (ew!) and did get a kiss from Chloe!

I think not taking Kate's call is one of things that impresses Chloe. There was a thread a while back that detailed what things triggered her to change her phone picture from one of Chloe & Rachel to one of just Max. I suspect you'll need that to have happened at least. If I remember correctly there were 4 or 5 things of which you needed to do at least 3. Off the top of my head I think it was taking the blame for the joint, not taking Kate's call, trying to shoot Frank & stealing the money. Pretty sure you see her phone change just before the kiss dare so it probably needs to be done too for the finale kiss. Choice of which locker room might have an affect too as Chloe's voice and body language suggest she is asking about more than which route to the pool you want to take.

I guess I worded that incorrectly. What I meant was I'm not sure it is the defining choice as to whether or not the final kiss happens. That in conjunction with other choices might, however, like you said, factor into whether or not your relationship with Chloe is good enough to trigger the final kiss. Sorry about the confusion.

YUP! You were right about the Warren thing. I went back on my save and instead of kissing him I just gave him a hug. That opened up the ability to KISS CHLOE!

So for me my choices where:
Took the dare to kiss Chloe
Sided with Chloe against David
Stayed hidden after getting blazed
Refused to ender Chloe's life while paralyzed
Accepted movie invitation from Warren
HUGGED Warren

Thanks guys.

that's strange. I even got the Kiss from Chloe, although I kissed Warren. I was basically friendly to both through all episodes. (I let Chloe take the money, took the blame, took kate's call, and kissed her when she dared me. And I also always was nice to Warren and last kissed him).

That is really a shame. I have to not take the dare I think at one point and see if I still get the kiss.

[awakeningcry]

you have to do 3 out of the following 4 things; taking the blame for the weed, ignoring Kate's call, shooting Frank, taking the handicapped fund money. This will ensure Chloe puts your photo as the background on her phone instead of leaving it as her and Rachel. Then you MUST kiss Chloe when she dares you. As far as I'm aware, no choices after this have any effect on the end.
