Secret Mirror Ending (plus The Language of Flowers)
By Infindox
This is a step-by-step guide to getting the achievment "A Mysterious Artifact", which I found to be somewhat difficult to get without some help. This will be in JUST selecting classes and costumes, leaving out any story elements in case you want to experience it yourself.
This also includes the achievment "The Language of Flowers".
The following endings are also included: (numbered by the checklist stained glass windows, left to right)
- 2 (Lumen Rejection)
- 3 (Wedding)
- 4 (Wistful Dad)
- 10 (Evil Magic)
- 20 (Threat of War)
- 24 (Queen)


EDIT: I know that some of the things you already have at 100% but I continue doing those. There's really no point to doing anything else if you just want this achievment and a win. By all means, deviate from my guide a little if you know you can do something else in your run.

Still works for me in 2025! Thank you :)

(Did notice as mentioned below that the first few classes had a negative modifier from the mood, but just ignoring/powering through it the ending was still attained)

This guide is out of date.

The game must have been slightly tweaked since this guide was written because I found that if I followed it exactly, I was too Depressed and/or Lonely in the early weeks to take Royal Demeanour or Conversation classes.

After some experimentation I got around this by taking Dance and Poison classes earlier than scheduled, and choosing Toys and Court at the end of weeks 5 and 6 in order to push my mood to Yielding as quickly as possible.

If for whatever reason it can't contact the Steam server to register an achievement at the time, it will try to sync it later. So probably just a temporary connection wobble.

Never mind. It popped up for me today when I opened the game. Not sure what's up with that.

Did a recent patch change something? I just followed this guide to the letter three times, and this achievement didn't unlock for me.
Thank you so much for this guide and for updating it! ^ ^
