The Red Bell’s Lament – Asher Thompson Walkthrough

Published on by Chlo

NOTES:

  • This game has a LOT of bad endings, so instead of creating multiple SAVE files, this guide will make use of the QUICK SAVE/QUICK LOAD functions instead. The game also has an auto-mechanic feature that allows you to return to the previous choice after meeting a bad ending, so don’t worry if you weren’t able to quick save beforehand.
  • Be sure to also make Hard Saves at the points indicated in this guide.
  • During “Mission Start” mode, make sure to follow this guide’s instructions to a T. Deviating from it, can lead to a bad ending. Using up all your allotted squares before reaching the finish line will also trigger a BAD ending/game over.
  • During “Mission Start” mode, the symbols ← ↑ → ↓ (in this guide) represent both the squares and the directions you need to move.
  • You do not need to complete all the BAD Endings, just make sure to do the ones that unlock a CG and the ones that give you elgan crowns.
  • You’ll need 115 elgan crowns to unlock the game’s Special Story in the EXTRA section.
  • The guide below will help you unlock “Fragment of Elpis 8”
🔽 Gameplay Spoilers (Read only if you’re starting to feel confused about the game)

  • Yes, you’re technically playing all the routes simultaneously.
  • Unfortunately, this game forces you to play through all the routes before any happy endings are unlocked.
  • Ciaran’s route will only unlock after you finish Playground IX (after “Fragments of the Elpis 8 “).
  • The individual “good ends” for each LI will only unlock after clearing the game’s final “Epilogue”
    • PROLOGUE

    1. I wanted to note that if you play with a customized MC name, the coding is bad and the characters will still call you “Juliet” a lot especially later in the game. I feel like this is something to consider if you do use a custom MC name and are deciding if you want to buy the game.

      1. I remember it being like that for their last game too, Even if Tempest. I usually use the set name they provide most the time but I heard people saying they would still call you Anastasia regardless of the name you picked so I think its just a trend for the voltage/amulit games

    2. hello! firstly, thank you so much for putting up the walkthroughs for this game! I’m now in Ciaran’s route, after fragrants of elpis 8, and there’re 3 things I’m a bit confused about.
      1- ultimately there’s one big playthrough in which all the LIs are romanced in their respective chapters right? unlike usual where we branch out into one LI route after a common route

      2-playing ciaran’s route is crucial at the end of anyone’s route right, regardless of which walkthrough we’re following?

      3-the main difference between each walkthrough are a couple of bad ends – is that right? I was skimming through Rhodes’ walkthrough you put up and everything before fragments of elpis 8 seems to be the exact same except for 1 bad end I think that unlocks a CG for rhodes

      Liked by 1 person

      1. Hello!

        1)Yes
        2)Yes
        3) Thank you for catching that! Basically, all the guides for asher, rhodes and garrett are identical except for their love and sad end. I meant to add that BAD End CG i got from rhodes chapter 5 to asher and garrett’s guide as well but I forgot somehow! Thank you, I have added it on both walkthroughs now. 😀
