YU-NO - Walkthrough

This walkthrough is intended to give pointers on the decisions to make in order

to clear or 100% the game as efficiently as possible (i.e. with as little

backtracking as needed). It's also intended to be spoiler-free, so it will only

detail the actually important choices. Check the translated walkthrough image if

you want a step-by-step guide through each location, but be prepared for initial

confusion and (indirect) spoilers. Of course, if you want to get the most out of

the game then don't use a walkthrough at all, just know that you'll likely be

spending a lot of time backtracking and figuring stuff out by trial and error.

How to read this guide

Steps marked with a "-" are essential (some technically aren't, but are included

because they cover essential plot-related details), steps marked with a "*" are

only needed if you care about 100%-ing the game. They're still recommended as

even some of the non-essential paths might reveal minor details about the plot

(although often they serve no other purpose than to fill up the map). So in

other words, if you want to 100% the game, follow all steps, otherwise just the

"-" steps. Saves are marked as [Jewel-save #x], for easy reference (the number

will refer to save number, not Jewel number - it doesn't matter which Jewel you

pick). You leave Jewel-saves by clicking on one of the orbs of the Reflector in

the bottom-right of the screen, and load them by clicking on the marks they

leave behind on the map. As mentioned, this walkthrough only contains the actual

branching points in the game. Whenever nothing is mentioned, this means that

it's not possible to branch here - either it is made obvious in-game where you

should go, or you should just wander around until you bump into

someone/something, or you should click around until you can progress, or the

choice just doesn't matter if there is one. The route order used is

Mitsuki/Eriko -> Ayumi -> Mio -> Kanna/Kaori, which is the order we recommend as

it (arguably) gives the most natural plot progression and never gets you stuck

due to missing items.

Notes before starting

- Don't forget to watch and pay attention to the intro that plays when launching

the game.

- Throughout the main game, whenever you are talking to someone, you can show

them your items to have them comment on them. Be careful though - show the

wrong item to the wrong person and they might end up stealing it from you.

- "First day" and "second day" refer to the two days _after_ the first night on

which the main game begins.

- Puzzle answers are not provided in this walkthrough. If you have trouble with

any of them, check your gamefolder for solutions.

- Due to the limited number of Jewels available, you can't use any more than

specified in this walkthrough for at least the first two routes.

Walkthrough

Prologue

- Linear. None of the choices you make here matter in the end. Just keep going

until you enter the main game (you'll notice that it's started when the

interface changes and becomes point-and-click).

Mitsuki/Eriko route

- Leave [Jewel-save #1] the first time you get back to your room at night.

Choose NOT to read the documents when prompted the first time after repeatedly

(7 times) checking your desk. Reload [Jewel-save #1] right after and read

them. To progress, check the phone on your desk, then the clock on the

windowsill on the left (remember this, you'll need to do it often).

- The first time you get to the main hall of school is a route-deciding branch.

Go directly upstairs and to the rooftop to stay on Mitsuki's route. Go to the

infirmary right after that.

* Leave [Jewel-save #2] after meeting Kaori (green-haired girl) in front of your

house.

- Go to Ayumi's room after having met Kaori in front of your house. (If you

haven't met Eriko in the infirmary yet, then you need to do this first before

you can trigger the event.)

* After the event in Ayumi's room, go to the mansion in front of school. Load

[Jewel-save #2] after Kaori leaves and go to your own room instead (first

meeting Eriko again if you hadn't), then go directly to the infirmary and

check out the clothes, then to the second floor, then to the mansion. Leave

[Jewel-save #3] after Kaori leaves and go to the rooftop of school, then back

to the school gate. Reload [Jewel-save #3] and leave [Jewel-save #4]

immediately after. Go to Triangle Mountain and back to the coast. Then reload

[Jewel-save #4] and go to Geo Technics (company at the coast).

* Leave [Jewel-save #5] after you've met Mio and Yuuki in the central district

at night, and go to the park (take a left to the heights, then the park is on

the bottom-left). Return to your house and check the TV. Reload

[Jewel-save #5] after the event, and go to the cafe instead.

- When prompted, choose not to give the key.

- The first time you get to outside the storehouse of the mansion on the second

day, leave [Jewel-save #6], enter the storehouse with the key, look around

until you can leave again, then head straight to the well (i.e. don't click

around too much). Make sure you check inside the well first, then click around

until Mitsuki arrives. After the event, reload [Jewel-save #6] and immediately

leave [Jewel-save #7]. This time click around without entering the storehouse.

* In the infirmary with Mitsuki at night, leave [Jewel-save #8] after the

telephone event and continue without using any items. Once you reach the end

(you'll know by the E mark on the map), reload [Jewel-save #8].

- Use the wooden sword after the telephone event in the infirmary.

- Leave [Jewel-save #9] when you get to the mansion garden, then go to the

mansion living room and check the tapestry a few times. After you've been

warped away, load [Jewel-save #7] from earlier and go into the storehouse.

Leave [Jewel-save #10] in here. Check stuff inside the storehouse until you

get locked in (don't forget to check the hoe, which is easily missed). Pick

up the rope from the wall and check the surroundings some more (primarily:

the exit, the latch on the metal door and the small window). Once you're back

outside after the events, reload [Jewel-save #10].

* Leave [Jewel-save #11] in the storehouse immediately after the previous step.

(Note that this Jewel needs to be left here until Mio's route.)

- Leave the storehouse and head straight to the well. Use the rope here to get

the item, then click around until Mitsuki arrives. After the event, load

[Jewel-save #9] and go into the storehouse.

* Leave [Jewel-save #12] once you're in the storehouse, continue, and give

nonsense answers when prompted. Reload [Jewel-save #12] once you've reached

the end.

- Give enough correct answers when prompted (they should be fairly obvious).

Ayumi route

- The first time you get to the main hall of school, go to the infirmary.

- After meeting Toyotomi at the coast, go to Triangle Mountain.

- After meeting Kaori at Geo Technics, go to Triangle Mountain.

- Pick up the document from the bushes after the event where you bump into Ayumi

at Geo Technics (if you hadn't already).

* Leave [Jewel-save #13] after running into Yuuki in the main hall of school.

- After running into Yuuki in the main hall, head to the lab. Leave

[Jewel-save #14] here, continue without giving anything.

* Reload [Jewel-save #13] when you're back out of the lab, immediately leave

[Jewel-save #15] and go outside. Reload [Jewel-save #15] after the event and

go to the infirmary.

* Leave [Jewel-save #16] after running into Kanna at the coast at night. Go to

school, choose to escort Mio when prompted. From the heights go to Mio's house

(on the right side of the screen). Reload [Jewel-save #16] in Mio's room and

leave [Jewel-save #17] immediately after. Escort Mio again and go to the park

this time. Reload [Jewel-save #17] the first chance you get and leave

[Jewel-save #18] right after. Choose to go in Yuuki's place and go to the lab

at school. Reload [Jewel-save #18].

- Choose to go in Yuuki's place when prompted and go to the infirmary.

- Leave [Jewel-save #19] when talking to the guard at Geo Technics for the

second time on the second day. Keep trying to walk in without using items

until the guard leaves, then go to Triangle Mountain. Reload [Jewel-save #19]

after the events here.

* Leave [Jewel-save #20] directly following the above and repeat the same steps.

Reload [Jewel-save #20] once you reach the end.

- Show the guard the magnetic card.

- Choose not to give anything to Ayumi when prompted.

* Leave [Jewel-save #21] after the call from the company in the living room,

then go to Geo Technics. Reload [Jewel-save #21] when you arrive (no need to

trigger any events yet).

- Go to the central district after the call from the company in the living room.

* When talking to Kaori in front of Geo Technics, leave [Jewel-save #22] and

continue without giving the document. Reload [Jewel-save #22] once she's left.

- Give Kaori the document in front of Geo Technics.

- Leave [Jewel-save #23] during the event in the living room at home, continue

until the end. Reload [Jewel-save #23] and use the item you just got.

Mio route

- Load [Jewel-save #14] and give Mio the notebook.

* After running into Ryuuzouji and Kaori on the second floor of school, leave

[Jewel-save #24] and go to the infirmary, then to the cafe. After you've sat

down at the table, reload [Jewel-save #24] and go directly to the cafe.

- Leave [Jewel-save #25] when Takuya tells you to (on the second day at Triangle

Mountain at night).

- Pick Yuuki when prompted (hint: while advancing through the tunnels, pay close

attention to the walls).

- Be sure to obtain the stone disk from the last gate.

* Leave [Jewel-save #26] after obtaining the stone disk.

- Use the silver medal at the last gate and choose to stay when prompted.

* When you reach the end, load [Jewel-save #11] (the one on the top path of the

map), immediately leave [Jewel-save #27], click around until you get locked

in, take the rope (for some reason it's impossible to take the rope earlier).

Reload [Jewel-save #27], head straight to the well and use the rope on the

well. Reload [Jewel-save #26], use the silver medal and choose to go together.

- Load [Jewel-save #25] after reaching the end.

* Leave [Jewel-save #28] directly following the above, pick Mitsuki when

prompted and continue in the same way as with Yuuki until the puzzle room

(don't use the stone disk), then reload [Jewel-save #28] (since you won't be

able to open the map, you'll have to return to menu and choose "restart with

current map and items" first).

- Pick Mitsuki when prompted. Use the stone disk on the first gate before

opening it and continue until the end.

Kanna/Kaori route

- The first time you get to the main hall of school, go back outside, then back

to the main hall and to the lab on the second floor.

- Give Kanna the notebook when you meet her on the roof.

* From the roof, go to the infirmary, then to outside your house, then go talk

to the guard at Geo Technics. Leave [Jewel-save #29] here, then go to outside

your house, then to the main hall of school, then to Triangle Mountain and

back to the coast. Reload [Jewel-save #29]. Now go to the second floor of

school (don't pass by your house), and back to the main hall. Leave

[Jewel-save #30] here, go to the roof and then to Triangle Mountain. Reload

[Jewel-save #30] and go to Geo Technics.

* Leave [Jewel-save #31] when you hear a siren outside your house at night

(after obtaining the medicine). Go to the city and continue for a while (if

you get stuck on the second day, don't forget to talk to the workers at the

coast and/or the students in the main hall of the school).

* Leave [Jewel-save #32] after the ero scene. Reload [Jewel-save #31] once

you've reached the end (hint if you get stuck: check the nose).

- Go to the coast when you hear a siren outside your house at night (after

obtaining the medicine).

* Leave [Jewel-save #33] when you're back in front of your house, then go to the

city, then to Kanna's room. Reload [Jewel-save #33].

- Go to your room when you're back in front of your house.

* Leave [Jewel-save #34] while talking to Kaori at the heights. Continue, choose

to talk to Houjou when prompted back in the city and go to Kanna's room

afterward. Reload [Jewel-save #34].

- Choose to follow Kaori when prompted and continue on (if you've been following

the *'s, you can safely skip through the scenes with Kanna at night and the

entire daytime part of the second day since it's pretty much identical to what

you've already been through. Again, if you get stuck on the second day, make

sure you've talked to the workers at the coast and/or the students in the main

hall of the school).

* When evening sets in after meeting Kanna the second time in the park, leave

[Jewel-save #35]. Go to the coast, then to the cafe, then reload

[Jewel-save #35] (no need to do anything at the cafe).

- Go directly to the cafe when evening sets in.

- Leave [Jewel-save #36] when in the hotel room. Give the blue card when asked.

- Leave [Jewel-save #37] in the hallway inside Geo Technics. Go into Ayumi's

office on the left and reload [Jewel-save #37] once you've reached the end.

- Keep waiting (looking around) in the hall at Geo Technics without going into

the office. Once in the lab, first find the Jewel behind the projector screen.

* Leave [Jewel-save #38] in the lab. Choose not to take the stone when prompted.

Continue until the end, reload [Jewel-save #38] and immediately leave

[Jewel-save #39]. Choose to take the stone yourself, then to hand it over.

Reload [Jewel-save #39].

- Choose to take the stone, then to keep it. Reload [Jewel-save #36] after

reaching the end. Don't give the blue card to Kaori (you shouldn't have it

anymore anyway), then go to the cafe. Continue until after the ero scene (if

you've been following the *'s, you've already been through this and can load

[Jewel-save #32] to save some time). Use the stone you just obtained here.

Path to epilogue

- Go to the study the first time you get to your house, find the last Jewel

(hint: check the "notes before starting" again) and read the memorandum, then

head to Triangle Mountain with all Jewels inside the Reflector.

Epilogue

- Linear. Just enjoy the ride until the end credits (hint if you get stuck in

the final room: check the map).

New game+

- You can access short character endings for Ayumi, Mio and Kanna now. You'll be

asked to enter them when reaching their good endings (check the walkthrough

image for specific locations).

* If you've followed all the *'s, you should have 98% now; what's left is to

traverse some paths that were blocked previously (character endings aren't

needed for 100%). Start the game again, go to the study first, then to your

own room. The first time you're in the main hall of school the sequence is as

follows: infirmary -> lab -> Geo Technics -> study -> main hall -> home -> Geo

Technics -> infirmary. You should now have 100%. Now you can restart the game

and go directly to school on the first night for a funny scene and access to

the music room.
