Roman's Christmas Achievement Guide

This guide will help you earn all the achievements in Roman's Christmas mostly spoiler-free

Overall

Welcome to Roman's Chritmas, a visual novel about spending your holiday with a small group of people and trying to solve cases that emerge. This guide will assist you in earning every achievement in the game, and will list the correct answers and choices for trials.

• Remember that If you need help or get stuck during the story, try talking to everyone. Sometimes people are in their rooms and won't come out, but you can talk to them in front of their doors.
  
• During investigations Roman will often reveal where you might have missed clues when you attempt to examine a victim.

There is one achievement that spans the entire game:

Sherlock
Don't make any mistake during the trials.
It's okay to save before each question and load the game if you mess up. Easy!


There are two achievements which act like collectables. You don't need to get all of them in a single run, but you do need to see all of them at least once. These pop up whenever you collect the final one. Beware that there is no indication of which you have or have not seen, and there are points in the story where you have to choose which of these two you wish to perform over the other:

Newspeak
Read the entire book.


You need to read 'The Brief History of Apollion' whenever it pops up as an option. You also need to go into Roman's room at the beginning of a chapter, select to explore your room and choose the option to read it. A new entry is available almost every chapter. There are times when you lose access to your room, simply ignore this task until you gain entry again.

Dreamer
Dream every dream.


Much like the one before, you need to select the option to sleep whenever it is available, and go to Roman's room at the beginning of a chapter, select to explore it and take a nap. Some dreams seem to be random. Each time you select to sleep, there's a small chance you won't see a dream. This is fine in your room since you can take as many naps as you want until a dream is triggered, but during story sections your only option is to save before selecting the option to sleep and load your save until you get a dream.

And with these out of the way, let's begin a well deserved vacation in the WhiteStar tavern!

Prologue

WELCOME
Welcome to the tavern.
Story related, cannot be missed.

Before getting the next achievement, you might want to read the first chapter's first paragraph. Some very specific things need to be done in order for an easily missed event to happen, and you can either go for that now or speak to Elegant instead. You can't do both unless you resort to saving and loading.

Who are you?
Mistake Elegant's gender
Talk to Elegant and ask about her gender.

Fireside chats
Hear a story from the bard
Listen to Anzox's riddle. Not doing so will skip the prologue entirely.


~Trial Start~
Correct answers for the trial:
Tied to the ankle
About the Miller's daughter
About the apprentice
Scene Investigation
Footprints
No other footprints on scene
Corpse position
Room
Different rooms

Search for the good part
During the body examination, examine the crotch area of the victim. How scandalous!

Examine: Face, leg with rope, hand, chest.
Weapon: Shock
Method: 4 - 1 - 6 - 2 - 7
Motive: Daughter's relationship
Suspect: Both of them
The miller betrothed his daughter
The miller stepped into the ring
~Trial End~

Do well during the trial and you'll once again be given the opportunity to talk to Elegant. Do so and you're given two choices. Both answers result in an achievement. You can only pick one.
Lawson
Find Elena guilty


Lovecraft
Find Elena innocent


~Chapter End~

Chapter 1

In order to get a missable event, during the prologue:

• Do not take a nap
  
• Listen to Anzox's music
  
• Listen to stories
  
• Do not make any mistakes during the trial

When given the choice in the first chapter, go downstairs and have a look.
You're given two choices, both of them earn you an achievement, but you can only pick one of them:
Hang the BJ
Break Anzox's lute
Forestall

Badtime story
Hear another story from the bard
Stay still


Once you gain map movement:
I'M NOT DRUNK
Get drunk
Go into the kitchen and ask Tsarzn for a drink, and repeat this until you pass out.

Drill
Let the ladder fall
When Thrivey needs help with the ladder let it loose directly.

Correct answer for investigation question:
Tsarzn and Herrin

Next up is a minigame involving cards. Either pick incorrectly twice, or save and reload until you get both guesses right. You can save between the first and second choice to make the latter easier. Be sure to remember pattern of the cards, you will need it later and they're different every time.

At this point you are offered a choice between using either Elegant's or Roman's method of pressuring the suspect. These lead to the same outcome, but the rest of the correct answers are slightly different depending on your method.

I recommend you read on, as there is an achievement near the end of the chapter that requires Roman's method and a few extra choices to unlock.

My way right way
Use Elegant's way


Fast learner
Use Roman's way


Correct answers for Elegant's method:

~Trial End~

Correct answers for Roman's method:
He was aiming at someone else

Vincel's gloves
The next two choices are NOT correct answers, however they don't count as mistakes. They are required for an achievement near the end of the chapter, so I'm including them here.
Give up accusing
Incident of St. Isaac Church

This makes Elegant, Vincel and Herrin's identity clear.

The rest of Roman's method:
Cellar Chain
Vincel rubbed off the rope
Grasp the disconnected rope
Method: 6 - 5 - 3 - 2 - 1
Suspect: Vincel
Motive: Hatred for Herrin
Steal Roman's key

Story related and cannot be missed


~Investigation start~ Wait no, not yet. Save here.

Good Ol Roman
Stop Searching
Give up searching. Choose it twice.

This will trigger an ending and the game is over.

Unlike other early endings, you're awarded the Sherlock achievement if you managed to perform flawlessly during the game. From now on you're free to make as many mistakes as you please!

Because of this, I recommend that you load your save and go on with the investigation until the credits roll. There aren't any achievements you really need to worry about.

Of course you are also most welcome to continue your journey with this guide.

~Just a heads up, from now on spoiler tags are quite heavy spoilers.~
But only about things which you should have been able to figure out with your current knowledge.

Thrivey sends his thanks! He's both cute and sweet. Surely he couldn't have...

Load your save and
Don't stop searching.

~Investigation Start~
Correct answer for investigation question:
Herrin's mug

~Trial Start~
C'mon Dude
Reach 100 mistakes in total
This achievement is cumulative. You don't need to make a 100 mistakes in a single run, but might as well get it over with now.

Are you really sure you want to solve this case? Was it not obvious why Tsarzn asked you to stop?


Correct answers for this trial:

Anzox

Even if you don't, you'll need to do this twice.
Seriously?

Congratulations and thank you for playing!
The only mystery that remains is how the Bonus scenario happened.
Random guess: Thrivey's Kybalion had something to do with it.

[exeuntomnes]

Thanks!

[Hypno_Wolf]

I got them ! Developer also helped me, and for Hang the Dj you need to go downstairs before Anzox will leave.
For Sweet Cards you need to play cards in chapter 1 and since bonus chapter will be the same, it means the cards also will be the same.
Thx for making this guide, it really helped me !

[Rudra]

For Hang the BJ:
Start a new game and don't make any mistakes during the prologue case.
If done correctly, Roman will sneak out during the first night, and you'll be given the options to either take the offensive or stay still. Choosing the more violent approach is what you need.

For Badtime story:
Whenever you're given the option to sleep, save your game before choosing to do so. If you get a dream, you can continue playing. If not, load your save and try again. Getting dreams to trigger seems to be random, and every sleep event has a different dream. You also need to sleep in your room during free time when it's available.

There's some good news though: this achievement is cumulative over multiple playthroughs. You don't need to get all dreams in one go.

Hope this helps. Unfortunately this guide was made before the translation overhaul, the description of most choices is most likely inaccurate.

[Hypno_Wolf]

Can you please give me a hint how to get Hang the BJ and Badtime story ? I don't understand how to get these.
