This guide serves as a spoiler-free walkthrough to getting through Steins;Gate Elite in the optimal order and achieving 100% achievement/trophy completion.
Though we initially intended to release this guide last year alongside the English release of the game, various circumstances prevented us from doing so. Nevertheless, with the introduction of the Guides section on Kiri Kiri Basara, we are pleased to officially present you with the now-complete guide to Steins;Gate Elite!
Table of Contents
Introduction
Steins;Gate Elite features 6 different endings and a total of 26 achievements. Suzuha’s, Faris’s and Lukako’s endings can be reached easily, as only one decision in the game affects whether or not you get on those routes. For Kurisu’s and Mayuri’s endings, as well as the true ending, you must collect true ending flags by responding to various emails. To reach the Mayuri ending, you must collect 0 of these flags. To reach Kurisu’s ending, you must collect between 1 to 5 flags out of the 6 total in total. Getting the true ending requires you to collect all 6 total flags.
The recommended completion order for this game is:
Suzuha → Faris → Lukako → Mayuri → Kurisu → True
Please note that while this guide mentions achievements/trophies, these are only applicable on the Steam and PlayStation 4 versions of the game.
Prologue
The prologue chapter has only one achievement—”Prologue of the Beginning and the End.” To acquire it, finish the chapter.
Chapter 1
Complete this chapter for “Time Travel Paranoia” achievement.
Chapter 2
This chapter has an achievement called “Cruel Sister” which is awarded to you when you discover information about Lukako’s sister. To get this achievement, look out for an email from Lukako that allows you to reply with the phrase “family.” Choose that option, and in the subsequent email from him, choose “my sister.”
You’ll also get the “Interpreter Rendezvous” achievement for completing the chapter.
Chapter 3
Complete this chapter to get the “Butterfly Effect’s Divergence” achievement.
Chapter 4
Chapter 4 is where things start to get interesting. There are 3 possible achievements awarded for choosing right answers to various emails.
When you receive an email from Suzuha that allows you to reply with the phrase “peaceful,” choose that to get the “Warrior Girl’s Pride” achievement.
When you receive an email from Faris that allows you to reply with the phrase “He,” choose that, and in the subsequent email from her, choose “Nyannyanian” to get the “Cat’s Tea Time” achievement.
When you receive an email from Kurisu, make sure to save your game in a save slot and do not overwrite it as you continue playing. Because this email contains the first true ending flag, it will come in handy later. First, choose “report,” and in a later email, choose “cup noodles” for the “Discontinuous Qualia” achievement.
After getting the achievement, load the save file you made before you responded to Kurisu. If you want to reach the Kurisu ending or the true ending, choose “scientist,” then “bad scientist” in the subsequent email, then “do better” in the email after that. After some time, you will receive another email. Choose “Outsider,” and subsequently “disgrace.” Progress the story further until you get an email from Kurisu where you can reply with “Why am I still here,” and choose that. All of this should give you the first True Ending flag. If you are going for the Mayuri ending, ignore the instructions in the last two paragraphs and choose different options in the emails.
The “Chaos Theory Homeostasis” achievement is awarded for finishing the chapter.
Chapter 5
When you receive an email from Mayuri allowing you to reply with “cosplay,” choose it. This will net you the “Passions Best Forgotten” achievement.
If you have the first true ending flag, you’ll receive an email from Kurisu that will allow you to get the second flag by selecting “travelling expenses.”
The “Dogma in Event Horizon” achievement is awarded for finishing this chapter.
Chapter 6
Chapter 6 has two achievements. At the end of the chapter, you will be given a choice of sending a D-Mail or not. If you send the D-Mail, the chapter will end, and you will proceed with the story. You will be awarded with the “Metaphysics Necrosis” achievement.
If you don’t send the D-Mail, you will then reach Suzuha’s route, and finishing it grants you the “Irreversible Reboot” achievement.
Chapter 7
This chapter has another true ending flag. When you receive an email from Kurisu, choose “I don’t have a key,” then “security,” and then “reality”. This will grant you the third true ending flag.
Similarly to chapter 6, you are given a choice of sending a D-Mail at the end of the chapter. If you send the D-Mail, you are rewarded with the “Made in Complex” achievement, and the story continues.
If you choose to not send the D-Mail, you will reach Faris’s route, and finishing it grants you the “Isolated Jamais Vu” achievement.
Chapter 8
Another true ending flag is present in this chapter, but you won’t need to respond to the email it comes from. The flag will be granted when you receive an email from Kurisu.
Chapter 8 presents another decision at the end of the chapter. If you choose to send the D-Mail, the story proceeds and you will be awarded with the “Fractal Androgynous” achievement.
If you choose not to send the D-Mail, you will reach Lukako’s route, and finishing it will grant you the “Link of Corruption and Rebirth” achievement.
Chapter 9
Chapter 9 has the fifth true ending flag. In order to get it, when you receive an email from Kurisu with the keyword “worried,” choose it for your reply.
At the end of the chapter, you must make another decision regarding sending a D-Mail. This time however, no matter what you choose, the chapter will end and the story will continue. There is a short extra scene to view if you choose not to send the D-Mail.
You’ll get the “Endless Apoptosis” achievement for completing this chapter.
Chapter 10
If you have 5 out of 6 true ending flags, you will receive another email from Kurisu with the key phrase “where you are.” Choose it to get the last flag you need to get into the true ending if that is what you are pursuing.
If you have 0 out of 6 true ending flags, you will reach Mayuri’s ending by the end of the chapter.
If you have between 1 and 5 out of 6 true ending flags, you will reach Kurisu’s ending.
If you’ve got all 6 true ending flags, keep reading no matter what. Things may not seem all that different from Kurisu’s ending, but trust us.
Reaching the true ending is also the only way to get the “Final Gambit of the Dawn“ achievement, awarded for completing this chapter.
True ending
Completing the true ending will grant you the “Open the Steins Gate” achievement.
Other achievEments
When you finish all of the routes, you will be awarded with the “All Worldlines Complete” achievement.
Make sure to read all of the tips that you gathered throughout the game. Reading them all will grant you the “Bible of Insight” achievement.
If you have all of the achievements listed above, you will receive the “Skyclad Observer” achievement, awarded for 100% completing the game.
