Introduction
NG allows player to investigate haunted area to learn backstory and collect key items to banish the spirit. Most of key items are quite hard to miss since it bound to event / story progression. However, you need to reexamine area before final encounter. Fighting spirit is straightforward compared to Death Mark. If you want best experience, I suggest skip this guide for your first try.

Purify / Destroy The Spirits
• You can choose to “purify” or “destroy” the spirit using different key item in sequence. The rest of option results different bad end.
• Unlike Death Mark, banishing spirit is more simplified and require one key item at a time (no item combo like Death Mark).

@Tathareth As long as you meet main condition, the game will direct you to that ending route. The variation of sub condition only trigger different dialogues during bad ending route. So, it doesn't matter of Ban lives or not as far I as I remember.
Tathareth 13 Jan, 2022 @ 9:44am 
I want to see all the ending variations but I’m a little confused on how to get the bad ending first pattern. I assume you partner with Rosé in Screaming Author and pacify the spirit, and partner with Ban in Killer Peach, whether he lives or dies doesn’t matter. Is that right?

@sEsamE I remembered choosing neutral / smile face in "most" judges. Hard to specify because they're hidden value. It should unlock Maruhashi's RPG page by the end of chapter 3 and Amanome's RPG page by the end of the game (in his route).
SeSame 23 Feb, 2021 @ 2:26am 
I can't unlock amanome and maruhashi's RPG profile. Is it because I chose amanome route? I didn't use any negative expression during Judges.

@Jester If you write Masaru's name, you'll get a bad end shortly after.

Great guide, thank you! :grin: :successchip:

I really wish you included the Crisis Choice answers too because they are a pain in the ass
Jester 11 Jan, 2020 @ 12:56pm 
There is one flaw I see, Demon Tsukuyomi does have a purify and destroy route depending on the name you write on the plaque, if you right Tamako's name you manage to appease the victims while making sure Masaru is defeated, but if you write Masaru's name his victims will becomes destroyed, I'm not sure how this affects the events after though.
