"Psy High" Complete Achievements Guide

A complete guide to gaining every achievement in Psy High.

Introduction

This guide will list achievements in two parts: first, a general hint; and second, a listing of the choices needed to reach the achievement. It does not list every route to the achievement, since some have many possible routes, but instead lists choices that will affect the stats needed to reach the achievement in a fast and easy manner. I've left non-vital choices blank so that people can roleplay it as they like, though obviously if a particular stat is mentioned, avoid choices that will affect it negatively.

I'm aware that another achievement guide exists for this game, but as it's incomplete and hasn't updated in over six months, I felt it would be okay to post this one. This also gives people the choice of stylistic preference.

[Shadowfox]

Damn well there goes getting the the device under my control having three lovers andcontrol of the nexus......

[Airyn]

@james_macknight
Unfortunately, no, it's coded into the game that you can only take one person to prom. Apparently if you can't go to prom together your relationship is worthless and so you automatically dump the others :/

[Shadowfox]

is it possible to not have to dump one of the three you can date if you date all three of them.
when i picked talor to go to the prom with me it said i had to dump my best friend and i restarted not wanting to do that so is there a way i thought id might get to control them with the v thing but i can only make people not where silver so that sucks

[Chicken Hunter]

yeah but I speed through it so I must have fucked up some where because I ended up with the help the evil hag ending

[Airyn]

There is a good ending in which you absorb the power and then gain the ability to read everyone's minds, but after you make the choice, there shouldn't be anything else that could block that ending. In what way are things going wrong? The choice to absorb is at the same point as choosing to share, so following the guide for that achievement should help.

[Chicken Hunter]

do you know if there is anyway to keep the power for yourself? Every try I've done has gone to hell.
