Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc: Chapter 5 Trial Walkthrough

The fifth trial of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is unique, as it ties significantly into the final trial and is shorter than previous ones. Though this trial has no conclusion, it will lead directly into the subsequent trial and is packed with essential information that you should keep in mind.

Two significant factors that separate this trial from others are that there is no closing argument, and a particular choice can lead to a bad ending. First, let's take a look at the key mechanics that you will face in this trial.

Updated March 20, 2022 by Jacqueline Zalace: Trial five in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is the most important trial up to this point. Here, your choices matter, and one wrong move could end the game. We've updated this guide to help you better make it through the trial, as well as avoid the bad ending.

Trial Mechanics For Danganronpa

As usual, let's first take a look at the mechanics that you will come across while going through trial five.

Mechanic	How It Works
Non-Stop Debate	Find a highlighted statement that you can disprove with a Truth Bullet. You can also absorb highlighted statements to shoot at others. Sometimes there will be white noise to get out of the way to a statement. Shoot at them to get rid of them before hitting the statement.
Multiple Choice	Simply choose the correct answer to a question.
Pick a Truth Bullet	Pick evidence to support a fact out of what you've collected during the investigation phase.
Hangman's Gambit	Spell out a word that answers a question. Try to guess the word and craft it instead of hitting random letters.
Bullet Time Battle	Argue with a character through a rhythm game. Hit against the statement with the beat and prepare a Truth Bullet to shoot their statement at the end.

After completing non-stop debate seven, you will have an important choice to make. Here, you will be presented with a multiple-choice question. You can either call out Kyoko's lie or let it go.

If you select 'Let it go,' the trial ends, and the game continues.

However, if you pick 'Pursue the lie', then a non-stop debate will occur and lead to a bad ending.

Bad Ending: Non-Stop Debate

Now, the trial will end with Kyoko being executed. After her death, the game will end, and you will see an image showing Byakuya, Makoto, Hina, and Hiro in the future with their children.

After viewing this ending, you will have a chance to go back to the original multiple-choice question that caused the bad ending. To continue on in the story, choose 'Let it go.'
