Route Details & Tips
- Yves’s route is locked at the start of the game. To unlock his route you will need to complete the Despair 2 endings for Lucas, Mathis, and Scien. Yves’s Salvation End is locked until you complete the finale of the game.
- This route has three main endings (Despair I & II, and Salvation). There are also three Yves specific bad ends and two common route bad ends. All are included in this guide.
- Because of the nature of the game, many of the storylines get pretty dark, so I have included content warnings where appropriate. These contain mild spoilers, so you will need to click to reveal them.
- Once you complete Yves’s Despair End II, Act 3 – Le Salut will unlock. You will need to complete this to unlock Adolphe and Ankou.
Route Restrictions/Play Order
- Mathis, Lucas, and Scien’s routes are playable from the start, with Yves unlocking after completing the other three’s Despair II ends.
- You can play Mathis, Lucas, and Scien in any order you want and I highly recommend doing your first playthrough blind (it’s more fun that way).
- But, if you want a recommended order, click below to see my suggestion:
Recommended Play Order
Mathis > Lucas > Scien > Yves > Ankou or Adolphe > Then do the Salvation Ends for the OG 4 LIs
