Encodya Full walkthrough, secret and achievement guide

Complete, written, step by step walkthrough for the game + all secrets and achievements implemented to the written walkthrough in chronological order + shortest possible video walkthrough(while still not skipping story)

General Information

This is a complete easy mode walkthrough, there are few extra steps during hard mode walkthrough, some of those added to the guide too, but IF i missed some from those please be kind and comment about it. Thanks

One playthrough enough for perfection but then you need to follow the guide, pause while reading next steps and probably skip cutscenes and speed up conversations.

If you want to enjoy the full story of the game then highly recommended to explore the game by yourself and replay with the guide for the achievements and secrets.

If the guide helped you and you like to get achievement, but you like to get them on enjoyable, entertaining games, then please follow our curator channel, or my YT, twitter etc:

"use old mug on greasy substance" : its on that room on the other table next to old man

[Melting.Moon]

I'm having trouble with the voice echo in chapter 4. I hear 214 but the door won't take the code? Am I really getting stuck on this one?

[pepperberry0712]

Hello, for secret 7/10 (standing for more than 15 minutes in the cybergaia lobby) it's really important to talk to the security robot first! It doesn't matter which of the answers you'll pick, to all he answers something like "You can't be here, it's not allowed to stand more than 15 minutes in the lobby area".
Only if you talk to him BEFORE you use the online disturber on him this secret will unlock. And after using it and the robot goes away you can stand around for 15 minutes and then the other robot kicks you out :) so secret 7/10 could be 6/10.
Thought maybe you mention in the guide to talk to the robot first :D
Anyway, great guide!
It helped me a lot to get all the secrets! :)

[M. fasciatus]

@Sauriel Because SAM53 was constructed the same year that Tina was born and the '53' in 'SAM53' marks which year that was.

[Sauriel]

how are you supposed to know tinas birthday at chapter 4 if you forgot it after not playing for awhile

[Csontzuzo]

@Treito77: so that step was required on normal mode? Weird, because when i wrote up the steps when playing for the same time i replayed for the video while doing only those steps and this wasnt required to me but i think my double lever was already on the required position on that one. Well, changed the guide based on your feedback, it could have changed in a patch. Thanks
YW:-)

[Treito77]

"HARDD MODE: "you have to use the red spray can on the motion sensor or it'll flip the double lever back to the upward position." - thanks to y15un for sharing this extra step, which required on hard mode"
Chapter 4 at the end. There is a typo and I had to use the red spray even though I wasn't on the difficult mode.
Thanks a lot for the walkthrough.
I don't know if I could have found the right code for the terminal to get on the ship.

[Csontzuzo]

@Endless Horizon: nice, so it is solved, cool:-)

[Endless Horizon]

That was it. I somehow missed calling the right number in order to solve the Clerk's case.
You have been very helpful, thank you @Csontzuzo!

[Csontzuzo]

ok, thanks. btw, are you sure you used emposphere on both characters? perhaps solving their related problems were required too. I doubt there are 4, even not on harder difficulty, so perhaps one of those not counted properly.
