Triangle ends are limited in number and pretty hard to get, as they consist in obtaining a certain amount of hearts by character - amount that's purposefully almost similar but must not be the same regarding said characters - before a precise date. It then does not help knowing that some game factors might be against you, providing hearts when it's strictly not recommended thus resulting in failing the whole route and having to start all over again.
Doing these routes it's important to keep in mind that, even if you can choose which duo you want to get involved with, you can't pick the character you want to develop more affection with, as it's already decided by the game, and it's probably the reason why it's so difficult.
There are only (and somehow it's a relief !) four triangle end available in the game :
(*leading character in the duo)
- Echizen / Tooyama* x Heroine
- Yuushi* / Kenya x Heroine
- Akutsu / Sengoku* x Heroine
- Choutarou* / Shishido x Heroine
Even though there are little rules for each of the four triangle ends of the game to follow, there are also more general rules that you'll have to respect in order to succeed in obtaining them :
- First and foremost, you'll have to decline every interruption occurring. Doing someone's route, lots of characters tend to randomly come interfere asking for some of your time, simultaneously preventing you from spending more time with the one you initially wanted to discuss with; it's even more so with the triangle ends in which interruptions seem to happen more frequently. Whether the characters interrupting are part of the duo you desire to obtain the ending of, or completely other random characters; it's important to always say no (I know it's hard !) by picking the second option while disrupted.
- As you might already know it, at the end of the first two days, you have the possibility to obtain bonus hearts by answering your friend's question "which guy do you want to know more about ?" (something around those lines). And while you can think it wouldn't change anything to randomly pick, say, Shishido instead of Choutarou the first day, and Choutarou instead of Shishido the second; it does have an impact on the amount of hearts accumulated, thus I advise you to carefully follow the walkthrough we provide you, as they are thoroughly tested and validated. =)
- Skinships will have to be done successfully from beginning to end, or else, it might pose a problem with the total amount of hearts acquired. 1 heart difference can screw it all up.
- This fourth point is not a rule, rather it's an advice. As I mentioned it above,
there are game factors able to mess up with your calculations; such as
interruptions, but also, and those are unexpectedly tricky,
morning greetings. The issue with those, is that
you CAN'T predict them as they are random. So, you will either need one that won't come, or need none and get one; and we all know that it's when you need luck the most that you're the most unlucky... So, in order to keep your route under control,
I propose you to use the save states function especially
when the day is over with, and that all is left to do is proceed to the following day. By doing so, if you happen to need one of the characters of your duo to greet you the next morning and get someone else instead, you still can load the save state, until you get the right outcome. And it works all the same if one of the characters of your duo greets you while it's not recommended. You can also make save states before your character's skinship to make sure you get the perfect score. =)
And that's pretty much it ! I hope you'll find these some instructions useful and clear. If there's something you need clarifications on, or if you encounter issues of any kind, don't hesitate to tell me about it in the comments and I'll try to help you to the best of my ability ! Please, look forward to the tri-ends' walkthroughs ! ♥
