In this guide, we are going to go over how to unlock and complete Ryo's route. This will include every choice you should make to get the Happy End, as well as the other ending types. Additionally, you won't find any spoilers for the story here. First, let's take a look at how to unlock this route.

Unlocking Ryo's Route

To unlock Ryo's route, you will first need to complete Ibuki's route. Once you have done so, the choices we list below will take you to Ryo's route.

If you have not yet completed Ibuki's route, there is an extra step you will need to complete but fortunately, it's not too difficult. Ibuki's route will only unlock once you complete three routes. These don't have to be any specific route; you just need to complete three routes for any characters.

After doing this, you can then complete Ibuki's route and then move onto Ryo.

Common Route Choices

  • Go to the hallway.
  • Thank you.
  • Go to the outer wall.
  • I don’t know.

  • I’m worried about Lize!

Villainous Justice Route

With the answers above, you will now be on the Villainous route. As you have already played through at least four other routes at this time, this should be pretty familiar to you.

You can choose to skip all previously-read dialogue! This function will pause once you get to something you haven't seen before.

Below, you find the three answers that you need to give to get onto Ryo's route.

  • Attack them head on.
  • I can’t save Lize?
  • Go to the academy.

There are four other endings that you can get for Ryo; three bad and one normal. If you are aiming to 100 percent complete the game, you can find how to obtain each ending below.

Normal End

Like the routes for other love interests, Ryo's normal end is quite easy to get. For the very last choice, give the following answer.

  • Why tell me all this?

Bad End 1 And 2

These two bad endings are short and rely on making one wrong choice.

The first Bad End will happen if you choose "Say nothing and leave", rather than "Say he’s not an enemy to you".

The second Bad End will happen if you choose "Call the others over", instead of "Talk to Ryo alone".

Bad End 3

Lastly, we have the third Bad End. This requires a few more steps. Below, you can check out every answer that will lead you to this route. This starts when you choose from "Nothing yet", and "I've figured a few things out".

  • I want information.
  • I’m fine outside.
  • I’ll go alone.
  • Speak to Ryo.
  • You’re contradicting yourself.
  • Say he’s not an enemy to you.
