The Divine Speaker: Unofficial Walkthrough/Guide (All routes/CG/achievements)

Updated for the Leos VA patch! Did you use this guide? Like this game? Support the devs by buying the official walkthrough included in the art book.

Intro/Disclaimer

Disclaimer for Leos' VA patch - I have added the new CGs to this walkthrough, included in the route they are in, and their own section. However, it is important to note that the routes have changed since the patch. "Bad Endings" are now activated a lot earlier than previously.

This is not the official guide. There is an official guide by the devs with more "correct" answers than these ones included with the art book dlc. Please consider supporting them by purchasing that as thanks if this guide helps you.

Some things worth knowing before you dive in:

• You have until the end of Ashe's shop to woo the character you want to romance. At the end of this arc, you will be locked into a route of the character you scored highest with. Each character's romance has 2 routes - the "good" end, and the "bad" end. Once you are locked into a romance route, your previous score before the route unlocked does not matter, and going forward, your options within the route are the only things that determine the ending.
  
  
• It is entirely my own personal opinion, but I believe the "ideal" first-playthrough route would be Leos' route, whilst trying your best to unlock the two secret side-romances along with it. As Leos connects to the main plot and the two side-romances the best, largely due to the fact he is also from Aurelia Cavella.
  
  
• You can solve the Oxhabor mystery with as little or as much evidence as you would like. There is no secret requirement, no minimum amount of investigation, no key evidence, and no correct order to do it in.
  
  
• Most options are fairly linear and self-explanatory - at least until you get to their route - with some choices literally being "I'll go after Leos/Cyne/Fawn" respectively.
  
  
• All Common CGs are gained from the main plot, and will happen regardless of who you choose to romance. However, some CGs will only be in character-oriented parts. For example, sleeping with Fawn or Leos gets you one CG, but you can only sleep once that night, so you can't get both CGs. They are minor, clear ones like this. (Unless they are "bad end 2" CGs, which can be obtained following the bad ends section, or Secret Romance Route CGs also in their own section)
  
  
• You can mix and match responses based on how you feel. You do not need to get every "correct" dialogue choice with each romance option to unlock their route. Therefore, you may wish to play the game once without a guide because it is arguably easier than some other dating sim games.
  
  
• For the interest of this guide, I will not cover the codex - albeit there are many missable codexes. This is because this data is not shared across saves, and therefore impossible to fully complete on any one save. Because of this, I don't feel it's worth completing to such a degree. However, it is advisable to fully investigate all choices and questions when given to you, as this can affect the depth of the codexes. For example: Investigating your room, then checking the body, and then speaking to Nox will grant you a special dialogue/codex you can only get from investigating in that specific order.

To respect the devs guide when their own walkthrough comes out: I will not update this guide to the canon answers in it. If you want a "perfect" guide, you'll have to buy theirs. But for the purpose of achievements and endings, this guide has been thoroughly tested and will work.

Leos Routes - Good/Bad Endings

Here are the choices to get onto Leos' romance path. You do not need all of these, but you need them more than Cyne or Fawn. For the purpose of this guide, I'll be saying all of them. If the choice gives an achievement or CG, it is marked. If Leos does not have a particular response to the choice, it is NOT included.

• Take his hand
  
• Wait for him to pick up his things
  
• Are you sure it's real?
  
• I should go check on Leos - CG and "You're Beautiful" achievement
  
• Leos is right...
  
• Maybe I'll catch up to him? - CG
  
• You pick
  
• Roll Left - CG
  
• I should go with Leos
  
• Offer Fawn to sit in front: You know, in the moonlight... - OR - Sit in front: Leos is special to me
  
• This might be a little dangerous
  
• I'll go with Leos
  
• Agree to Help
  
• Ask for Leos' opinion
  
• I won't trip
  
• That's enough for tonight
  
• Catch up with the others
  
• I'll try to solve the mystery
  
• I'll go after Leos
  
• Let's look around

At this point, Leos' Romance Route will open. All CGs before this point are common route. All Leos' CGs apart from the last one are obtainable without the good ending.

The following achievements will automatically be earned from Leos Route: "Breaking and Entering", "Macarons", "The Baby Prince"

GOOD END: "An Assassin After My Own Heart (Not Literally)"

• I'll go with Leos
  
• Thank Him
  
• No
  
• I'd rather not
  
• I'll believe you, for now - CG (update/new one)
  
• Knock
  
• Agree with Illran

BAD END: "I Miss You."

• I don't mind
  
• Say Nothing
  
• Yes
  
• I don't see why not
  
• Why should I believe you?
  
• Barge in

Update - As of the Leos VA Update, this route has changed. Now, you only need to Barge in and the route will end, instead of letting you reach the end like it did before.

Fawn Routes - Good/Bad Endings

Here are the choices to get onto Fawn's romance path. You do not need all of these, but you need them more than Cyne or Leos. For the purpose of this guide, I'll be saying all of them. If the choice gives an achievement or CG, it is marked. If Fawn does not have a particular response to the choice, it is NOT included.

• Get up by yourself
  
• Help gather his things
  
• "What's Marriage?" - "Marriage, What's that?" achievement
  
• It sounds amazing!
  
• I'll sleep near Fawn tonight - CG and "Under a Sea of Stars" achievement
  
• Leave Fawn alone
  
• I should wait with Fawn - CG
  
• How about you sing about me?
  
• Roll Right - CG
  
• I'll walk around with Fawn
  
• Offer Leos to sit in front: You look beautiful - OR - Sit in front: Fawn and I had an instant connection
  
• This might be a little dangerous
  
• Fawn, let's go together
  
• Agree to Help
  
• Ask for Fawn's opinion
  
• I won't trip
  
• That's enough for tonight
  
• Check on Fawn
  
• I'll try to solve the mystery
  
• I'll go after Fawn
  
• I'm kind of tired, so...

At this point, Fawn's Romance Route will open. All CGs before this point are common route. All Fawn's CGs are obtainable in one route.

The following achievements will automatically be earned from Fawn's Route: "Dance Practice", "Wait, that's not Fawn", "His True Power", "What's in a name?

GOOD END: "May I Have Your Hand?"

• Thank Him
  
• I'd rather not

• Agree with Illran
  
• Kiss him
  
• Wait

BAD END: "Lone Hunter"

• Say Nothing
  
• I don't see why not
  
• Cyne would be able to help
  
• Why should I believe you?
  
• Agree with Veras
  
• Get Up
  
• Rush Forward

Cyne Routes - Good/Bad Endings

Here are the choices to get onto Cyne's romance path. You do not need all of these, but you need them more than Leos or Fawn. For the purpose of this guide, I'll be saying all of them. If the choice gives an achievement or CG, it is marked. If Cyne does not have a particular response to the choice, it is NOT included. Because he is introduced a lot later, Cyne has less options that matter to him. Don't panic.

• Offer to sit in the front
  
• Maybe I haven't met them yet
  
• It might be a good learning experience - CG and "A Beginner's Course in Pleasure" achievement
  
• Cyne knows his way around town
  
• No way! - CG and "My First Kiss" achievement
  
• Agree to Help
  
• Ask for Cyne's opinion
  
• Sure, that sounds fine
  
• ... Okay. - CG and "A Practical Lesson" achievement
  
• Of course I'll stay.
  
• It was fun.
  
• ... It's fine.
  
• Catch up with the others
  
• I'll try to solve the mystery
  
• I'll go after Cyne
  
• I'm kind of tired, so...

At this point, Cyne's Romance Route will open. All CGs before this point are common route. All Cyne CGs can be achieved from one route (However one option will give you two different CGs and a missable achievement, so quick save and reload to view both options.)

The following achievements will automatically be earned from Cyne's Route: "My Fiance", "Meeting Your Mother-in-Law"

There is a missable achievement in Cyne's route: "Two's Company, Three's even better".

GOOD END: "That's a good Cyne"

• It'll be safer that way
  
• I'm here with my fiance
  
• Thank him
  
• I'd rather not
  
• I'm just visiting
  
• Toggen
  
• I want you now - CG
  
• I'll believe you, for now - CG (Update/new)
  
• Agree with Illran
  
• Stay back with Cyne OR Rush Towards Fawn and then either option.

BAD END: "Forever Running"

• Well...
  
• I'm here with my friend
  
• Say Nothing
  
• I don't see why not
  
• I'm searching for somebody
  
• Aurelia Cavella
  
• Let's go back to the inn - CG and "Two's Company, Three's even better" achievement
  
• Why should I believe you?

Update - As of Leos' VA Patch, this route has changed. The bad end will now occur after this question instead of letting you go further to the Fawn decision.

General Achievements

Here are the automatic achievements that will be unlocked as you play the game naturally:

• A Hidden World
  
• A Deer, Out Here?

Non-romance Bad Endings

Bad Ending 1:

This will give you the Bad Ending 1 and achievement - "I'm sorry we couldn't protect you"

Bad Ending 2:

In the second act, in Oxhabor, look around the room in Nox's manor that Raen stays in, and investigate all the items, then either:

• Hold the door, and then Peek or Hide, and then Come Out

This will give you the Bad Ending 2 and achievement - "Have You Given Up?" along with two common-route missable CGs.


Bad Ending 3:

In the second act, in Oxhabor,

• Try to Leave or Try to Solve the Mystery

This will give you the Bad Ending 3 and achievement - "Home"

Secret Side-Romances (Caspian/Aemyl + Illran/Veras Routes)

Since completing this guide, I have been informed that the Caspian/Aemyl and Illran/Veras routes are actually missable. Because of this, I went back and played again and tried my best to make the men stay single. The following answers may not be the exhaustive choices required to unlock their routes, but it is enough to ensure them.

These routes can be unlocked with any of the main three romance option routes, and can be unlocked individually or together in a single playthrough.


CASPIAN AND AEMYL

Following these choices unlocks CG 8 on page 5 of the common section gallery, and the achievements "A Little Longer" and "Give Me One More Chance".
Leos Voice Acting Update - It also now unlocks the last CG on its own page of the common route.

• I'll believe you, for now - unlocks the achievement "A Little Longer"
  
• Investigation with Morwen: What were Aemyl and Capsian like before? - unlocks the achievement "Give me One More Chance"

ILLRAN AND VERAS

Following these choices unlocks CG 9 on page 4 and CGs 1, 6, 7, and 9 on page 5 of the common route gallery, and the achievements "First Meeting", "Their First Kiss, Their Last Kiss", "I can't stay" and "Soulmates".

• Investigation with Illran: How did you and Veras meet? and Have you ever been in love?
  
• Thank him - if you are on the right path, you'll get the achievement "First Meeting" and a flashback scene.
  
• Investigation with Titus: Do you know Illran? and Are you and Veras friends?
  
• Investigation with Morwen: Do you know much about Illran? - unlocks the achievements "Their First Kiss, Their Last Kiss", "I can't stay" and "Soulmates"

How to access the "Official Artbook"

Here is a step-by-step guide to accessing the official artbook for the Divine Speaker, which contains the Official Guide at the back of the book.

Just to reiterate, I am not the devs and all the walkthroughs found in this steam guide are my own trial and error.

As stated in the intro, my walkthrough is not 100% correct and out of respect to the devs' official guide, I did not alter the choices when the Artbook was later released. (This guide will work to get you the endings without the official guide, so don't panic if you can't buy the Artbook!)

But for those of you who have bought the book DLC, here is how you access it:

1) Check to make sure you have the DLC activated and installed. To do this, buy the Artbook as DLC in the steam store and go to your downloads to make sure it's installed. You can check that it is activated by right-clicking your game in the library and going down to "Properties". Once you are in properties, go to "DLC" at the very bottom and ensure "The Divine Speaker - Official Art and Guide Book" is ticked as "Install" like this;









2) Once you are certain the DLC is installed, you can begin accessing it. Again, right click the game "The Divine Speaker" in your games library and go down to "Manage" and click "Browse Local Files" in the drop-down menu. You can click either the game in your list, or the game picture in your collections to do this;










Alternatively, you can click "Properties" again and find it in the section "Local Files" where you can click the button "Browse";










3) In your files folder, you will see a PDF titled "The Divine Speaker Official Artbook" like this;









4) Simply double click the folder to open it. To ensure you've got the right thing, you should open something that looks a little bit like this, depending on the way your PC opens PDFs. The main thing is ensuring it has content that looks like this (note: I have cropped a lot of it to respect the fact you should buy the guide yourself to see the art);

Leos VA CG Guide

I've added the CGs to other sections as and when I've found them, but here is a section for people who've already played it once and just want to know where the three specific new ones are.

1: The last one on the common route - this is unlocked with Caspian and Aemyl's romance route, which this guide can help you with if you've forgotten how to do that.

2: This is the missing one in Leos' route - this is unlocked with either the Good or Bad ending route for Leos. You can get it with either, as long as you're on his route.

3: This is the missing one on Cyne's route - This is unlocked with either the Good or Bad ending route for Cyne. You can get it with either, as long as you're on his route.

Thank you for the guide! help a lot

[Xanthe]

Thank you for the guide! I found myself getting railroaded into the Cyne route when I was trying really hard not to be, and this lets me know how to go back and fix it.

[KAЯΞΞSH]

Thanks for the guide ♡

[Ласкутик]

Oh, thanks!!!! I almost find it)))

[Buttfart Princesspants VIII]

Hi again! Just to let you know, I've now updated the guide with a "How to" section to access the Artbook dlc for you! The Official Guide is found at the back.

[Buttfart Princesspants VIII]

Hi there, @Ласкутик! Of course we can. I'll also make a "How to" guide attached to this guide at the bottom for people in future who struggle with the same thing.

To access the guide/artbook, go to your games library;
Go to "Divine Speaker"
Right click the game and hover over "Manage"
Click "Browse Local Files"
It will be in the folder as a PDF for you - titled "The Divine Speaker Official Artbook"

[Ласкутик]

I bought the official guide but don't know how to open it. Can anyone advise me?

[Buttfart Princesspants VIII]

Hi, she-N0iz!
Thanks for picking up that error for me. You unlock "Lone Hunter" by reaching Fawn's bad ending! I've mistakenly labelled it "I Miss You" from when I copy-pasted the format from Leos above him. I've changed that now!

[she-N0iz]

That's very helpful but does anyone know how to get "Lone Hunter" achievement?

[harukagamer116]

Thank you ❤️
