Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward |OT| -- More Hours, More Persons, More Doors

Ok so I just had my game crash in the PEC room. Can anyone just give me a list of all the things I need to do in order and in the shorest possible time? Just wanna escape this room as fast as I can.

Got as far as
getting out've the pressure room after depresurising it or whatever. I couldn't get our because I did not have a archive of the pairings password ._. It then only froze the bottom galf of the screen while in archives. Making it impossible to back out.

Just give me a list of what to do in the shortest times. I can't find any walkthroughs with google. Any and all help would be appreciated.

This sucks. My average playtime would've been legendary if it wasn't for that damn crash. :/

Edit: NV, Got it but someone should do a walkthrough since its so glitchy so taht others can greeze through it.

Which room?

Okay, Thankfully I've kept away from playing the game yet, and have managed to avoid most spoilers.

Just a quick question to those who have finished: I got spoiled on a couple major details like
how Tenmiyouji is Junpei (I have no clue how, but just knowing is meh... Suckish), K is not Snake, and that there is some sort of multiple timeline connection similar to 999 (Got that little gem of a spoiler from the IGN Review. >.>) But again, the details on that are vague at best.

Is there a lot more to the story behind these spoilers that I will still be mind blown? Or is it gonna ruin those paths for me? And on a similar note, should I play through Tenmyouji's route first to get the spoiled material out of the way?

Answers would be appreciated, but please, no more spoilers than what I already know. :)

There's still plenty of other twists, like the identities of the other characters.
Tenmyouji/Junpei isn't even the focus of the story. Other characters are more important.

I'm in the botanical gardens, and
I'm using the weigh scale. I don't know why the game is penalizing me for weighing the coins, because I don't even know why I'm weighing them, or how I tell the game I know their weights.

The game is like "UGH WHY DON'T YOU GET THIS?" and I'm like "I get it, I just don't know how to tell you that 1. I don't know why I'm weighing them, and 2. how to tell you I know their weights..." I tried dragging the coins to put them into a certain order, but that doesn't work. I've tried dragging them off the screen or something, and that doesn't. I don't even understand what my goal with this scale is. Other than checking the weights of the coins, I'm not even sure how success is achieved.
Why is the game penalizing me for doing something I don't even understand the application for? It seems to go against the spirit of the game, where poking and prodding things in the environment are how you figure stuff out.

Very frustrating.

EDIT: Just proceeded to the part where this puzzle actually makes sense.
The scale portion of the puzzle and the dialogue around it still seems incredibly misleading.
Click to expand...

I actually just solved this puzzle, and I still don't understand
the point of the "you have to weigh exactly five times or we'll set things to easy!" bit. The only purpose of having the scale there was to find out the right order for somewhere else, after all.

Yeah, I didn't get it either. That's why it was frustrating me. I don't want it to switch to easy, but penalizing stumbling around and testing stuff is antithetical to the rest of the game.

There's a lot more story behind your spoilers, and a good deal of it mind blowing. Such a great story overall.

yeah, might as well finish out Tenmyouji's route. of the potentially mindblowing things, thats one the lesser ones, imo
Click to expand...

Eh... I guess spoilers aren't always too bad for me, I for one was spoiled for 999 about
How June was Zero and set everything up,
but that kind of reveal only changed my perspective and increased the tension greatly as the game went on. The Ending still blew me away with how awesome it was, but I will admit the impact was a little lower since I knew it going into the game. :/

But wow... Good to know! I'm really pumped for the story! I can't believe I caved a couple days ago and watched some of the beginning novel bits! (Thankfully it was more/less what was shown in the OVA and Demo, aside from a couple of jokes) >.< The game just looks and sounds so good! It sucks that I'm committing to not playing it until after this Friday...

Ugh... Next weekend can't come soon enough!

Oh my goooood D: Luna...

Her ending is the most tragic thing ever. I am on the verge of tears.

But before that, there's this lock...

I thought I unlocked the path to that, AKA where the zero bomb is. I have all the archives so far, I have solved all the puzzle rooms on Hard, and I have every ending except Phi's. But I think it's still locked...

Fuuuuuuuck.... PEC Room. Game crashed. Save data got corrupted. Am I eternally fucked?

Fuck... fuck...

If I have to restart the game, can I just cheat and get all the safe passwords I used from online and quickly recomplete all the puzzles I solved, or will that not work?

So the endings I've done in order are:
1.Quark to be cont and Bad
2. Tenmyouji and Bad 1/2
3. Clover and Bad
4. Luna to be cont and Bad 1
5. K and Bad



Been a very interesting ride so far. Total didn't see
K's ending
coming. Immediately after discovering
Tenmyouji is Junpei
I theorized
Akane is the old woman
and after that last one, it looks like I was right.

I'm especially interested in
how Akane, Junpei, and Zero/K's dad tie together and what they're up to. Is Zero Aoi? Light? If Akane was a player alongside Tenmyouji, why was she killed by Dio? Was that project she volunteered to be in with Zero the Nonary Game? Was the death she planned supposed to be from the playing the actual game, or dying right near the beginning? If the later, was it because of another paradoxial vision like in the Second Nonary Game?
I WANT TO KNOW SO FUCKING BAD. ;_;

You can skip text with the stop/auto button and will stop when you come to brand new text. If you haven't ever read it before, the skip button won't appear.

You never have to repeat anything in this game, be it text or escape rooms, silly. :p






Except the door opening and closing, that you have to watch. :(

Q Room. That damn CUBE. Are there set solutions for it? I am clueless as to what I'm supposed to do, and I'm so burnt out after getting almost all the endings I just want to get THROUGH it. I'm horrible at Minesweeper, and that's basically what this game is.

yeah, all the solutions (to get the drawers out) are set. it took me a bit as well to do that room this morning, but was satisfied when I did do it. I think the clue they give for the minesweeper portion of that room was slightly misleading, since the number on the square can also include that square in the count.

Q Room puzzles were nuts... even more so than the sudoku one in 999. Good news though, is it's the final puzzle.

Hey guys, what's the general consensus on which is better, this or 999?
Click to expand...
I think the puzzles are better in VLR, and the voice acting and flow chart really improves the gameplay experience, but I like the cast and setting better in 999 (i mean, a ship that looks like the titanic versus a gigantic warehouse? No contest.). I think it is a tie.

Fun fact: Gigantic (the ship in 999) was the original name for the Britannic - one of Titanic's two other twin sisters. So there's a reason it looked like it did :) But I agree, 999's setting was superb because of that.

However, VLR has a few standout characters for me that I liked even more than the ones in 999. Namely Sigma - quite possibly one of the best MCs in quite some time.

I find the puzzle
ten times easier if I used the good ol' pen and paper. It was a cinch after I dragged my lazy ass from the couch and wrote down the numbers in a grid on a piece of paper.

Really... how did the PEC Room escape QA testing. What the actual fuck.
Click to expand...

could have been a couple things. one, the game could have been amazingly buggy on the 3ds. when you get a product, and it has bugs, it means there were even more bugs during qa. sometimes, when a bug is fixed, it can create problems elsewhere in a game, too. things you might not expect.

another possibility is that not enough timing was set aside to actually test both versions of the game, and the work was split evenly among two versions, despite one needing it a lot more than the other.

but most interestingly is how it escaped the first-party qa. nintendo/sony/microsoft also has their own guys check for game-breaking bugs and other things of that nature.

<333 Sigma is amazing. I loved him a lot more than I was expecting too at first. I had avoided all media before digging into VLR so I had no idea he was more of a "hot-blooded" main character. But he's truly fantastic and that becomes even more cemented once every bit of the story is unraveled.

Yes.
the analogy come out of no where, but it makes perfect sense in the context of the game, where the alternate histories seem separate, but actually form a single tapestry. The flowchart in this sense is just like the termite mound.
