S Rank Joseph Guide

[gothastronaut]

I don't know anything about Escape from Margarita Zone, but I'm writing how to max S rank Joseph. I've played his route over 15 times and these are the options i found best. I've also included how to get the Panic! At The Disco achievement. ....Yeah, 15 times. There's something about that Cool Youth Minister Dad... I just want Joseph to love me, or atleast show me his weird cult♥♥♥♥♥♥ Anyway.

Date 1 choices to pick, in order:
Egg them on
Go with something obscure
Not sure if this makes a difference, but I examined everything I could before moving on.
Don't think it makes a difference here, but I dueled the Spider King.
Oh yeah!
We used the box recipe! (gets extra points with Mat as well) or We improvised will work
Let the man buy his brownies
Remember that one time....
They seem nice.
Brownies fix everything.
I saved the brownie for Amanda, but I doubt it impacts the rank of your date.

Rank: S
Dad Points: 548867
Daddy Points: 329474
Total: 98765430

Date 2 choices to pick, in order:
Jesus is calming
That's not how DJing works
Sandra

The dance doesn't specifically score you good points, but heres what I did.
Roll the dice
Sprinkler
Cabbage Patch
Moonwalk
Death Drop

Watch out for blown out flip flops

To get the Panic! At The Disco achievement, you have to DIE. Here's how!
(Not sure if the moves leading up to the last are required specifically, but you do have to dance badly.)
The Worm
Shopping Cart
The Windmill
Attempt Twerking
Attempt an unrehearsed backflip.
Congrats! You died.

Here's my score when I didn't die.

Rank: S
Dad Points: 164929
Daddy Points: 658564
Total: 86420230

I feel like the max points for Joseph is 98765430, so maybe there were better options here. I don't know, but thats what I did in the eighty bajillion times I played date 2.

After the second date with Joseph, you go to the bar and see Mary. This isn't her walking home sequence specifically, but one where she knows what's going on. Here's what I did- not sure if it impacts the story or not.

Say hi.
I'm there when he needs me, Mary.
I'm sorry

The last date is ridiculous. If you screw up even one part, you will not S rank.
You do not need to have 2 hearts with Robert (unlocks lore for Joseph's 3rd date) to S rank.

Date 3 choices to pick, in order:
(You can pick whatever to say to Amanda. I love my daughter!)
Can do!
I HAD LOBSTER LAST WEEK AND I CAN'T WAIT TO EAT MORE OF YOU.

Mini game: You can literally throw everything in if you want. I put the wires, coin, wall charger, nail and gum in. Works fine and I get S rank. Don't ask why I put gum.

WINE!!
Explore the whole room.
POWER POUR
Do you like your mysteries... hot bodied?
What's it like owning a yacht?
Long, Hard, and Full of Seamen

Rank: S
Dad Points: 000384
Daddy Points: 864245

That's it! You should get the photo from Joseph by getting all 3 S ranks. Not sure about the Escape from Margarita Zone achievement, but if I ever figure it out, or someone else does, I may update the guide, or whoever else is free to let us know! If I discover better ways to do date 2, I'll also update for that. Thanks for reading, and happy Joseph romancing~

Just one clarification: Mary's walk home thing can be unlocked before you even go with Joseph on second date. I didn't go with him on second date, I was romancing all dads on one character in a specific order (firstly first dates with all, then second dates with all), around the time I did two second dates of other dads than Joseph (his still wasn't touched at the time), walking home Mary was triggered on it's own. So you can get to walk her home before you even get a second move at Joseph simply thanks to going on dates with other dads (I am not sure if first dates count, because like I said, I did two second dates in a row - on Mat and Hugo - and then suddenly I was going to a bar and met Mary and was walking Mary home).

I think it's the second date with Hugo whose unlock the Mary walk. I didn't even have one date with Joseph to unlock it.

Ah, yeah I misread the post :D I didn't realise you meet Mary twice, once you walk her home and the second time she knows you are after her husband, just like OP said, you can be nice to her and not start any drama :D
