This guide contains information about "Cursenday's Black Carnival" endings, mythical items and traits.

According to the "Carnival Phantasm" and "Ragnarok" achievements this should include all the endings and mythical items as of 9/19/2024.



For traits there is no achievement to confirm that this is all of them, but I haven't seen a larger list than what I have right now.

Since the date information is cut-off in English right now, I will refer to dates like this:

• Day 1 (December 25th)
  
• Day 2 (December 26th)
  
• Day 3 (December 27th)
  
• Day 4 (December 28th)
  
• Day 5 (December 29th)
  
• Day 6 (December 30th)

It's recommended to do these during Bruno's route since you can only get the "Time Traveler" trait during Bruno's route. To do Bruno's route, on day 4 talk to Lukes at the bar and then go meet Sandra at the cabin. Go with her to save Bruno.

Leave before the snowstorm arrives - Simply leave the town via the train any time starting from day 2.

Falling Sun - On day 5 or 6 go shelter in the hotel to get the "End of Days" trait.

Atal'Khar has descended. - On day 5 lose to spider god to get the "Emotional Isolation" trait.

Purifying Flame of the World - On day 6 lose to either boss fight inside the Incinerator to get the "Seeker of Fire" trait.

Rising Sun Fireworks - Defeat the bosses in the incinerator without meeting true ending requirements.

After going to Lucifero's hideout on day 4, go back to the flower shop and read the letter on Simon's desk. Then go to Adolf's mansion. If you want to get the true ending, see the conditions in the next section.

The End of the Opera - Lose to corrupted Nancy to get the "Enthralled" trait.

Annihilation - After beating corrupted Nancy, choose to reveal the truth and then leave with Simon and Nancy to get the "Revealer" trait.

Collapse - Stick with Ben. When Ben summons a monster, fail the diplomacy check and lose the ensuing boss fight against Ben to get "Native Plasm Symbiosis"

Despair Endures - Lose to the true ending boss to get the "Undercurrent of Despair" trait.

The Herald of the Unopened - Beat the true ending boss to get the "Seed of Hope" trait.

While doing Simon's route, do the following:

• (not sure if required) On day 1, when you first talk to Ben at the bar, try to ask for more information and then refuse to drink. (the dialogue from Ben after the spider god fight refers back to this, I don't know if you still get the dialogue otherwise. I read somewhere else that this dialogue is required.)
  
• Before starting Simon's route make sure to meet Sandra at the cabin.
  
• After corrupted Nancy fight pick up Adolf's staff nearby (top left of room) and go save Adolf from the Church basement.
  
• Stick with Ben until after spider god fight.
  
• Ask Ben about his Aunt.
  
• Bring the ring from the phonograph in Padric's manor to the mayor's room in the Town Hall and place it on the shelf to get a cutscene.
  
• Defeat Padric and fire boss in the incinerator.
  
• After talking to everyone in the bar, Naya will appear if conditions are met.
  
• Ask Naya to tell you the truth to reach the true ending final boss.

• To unlock Constantine as a partner, you must bring at least one spider related mythic item or trait (I've tested that Atlach Doll and inherited Timeless Music trait each work by themselves. Orb of Nacha and Blessed by Atlach trait should work too). After beating spider god and talking to nearby NPCs, interact with the statue.
  
• Interact with the vending machine outside of the bar, and then get the winning bottle by repairing the vending machine in Pomegranate street. Choose the car to get extra travel energy. Can be done on day 2.
  
• Lukes fight on day 4 can be skipped if you catch him talking to gang members outside the police station on day 2.
  
• During the strange waiter side quest, steal from the strange waiter outside to get a nice item.
  
• On day 3, get to the incinerator early by talking to Lukes at the police station about Sandra's store burning down and going to the hospital morgue to check the corpse. Go into the hole for some nice loot. You can use this as a shortcut into the hospital on a later day when it's locked by travel time.
  
• On day 3 or 4, play the slot machine in the Casino until something weird happens.
