Toaru Hahaoya no Ayamachi ~Yukari Hen~ QUICK GUIDE
At request of our friend stupid_army I'll make a quick guide for the first game from the Toaru Hahaoya series (
Toaru Hahaoya no Ayamachi ~Yukari Hen~). However, rather than a guide or walkthrough it's actually guidelines to unlock everything from the game. This will also be useful for other Rascou games and VN in general. Let's start with some things you have to take care of first:
Enable the "hint option" in the Options Menu (the 3th option):
View attachment 23182
In case you wonder: The 1st option is to enable/disable pubic hair, the 2nd option is to enable/disable cross-section view, the 3th option is to enable/disable hints when a decision pops up and the 4th option is to enable/disable voice playback continuation (the voice will not be cutted when you click, but when the next voice it's spoken... something like that).
When the 3th option is enable it will show a hint every time there is a decision. They come in two kinds:
(ルート差分) Route Branch: This hint means that the choice won't affect the ending, but the story will branch briefly. This is usually for rasbook pictures and sex scenes, meaning that your choice will decide which picture or H-Scene (of generally 2 options) you will be watching/unlocking.
(①②③④⑤⑥) Ending Numbers: This game has 6 endings. In some choices you will see this numbers. This means that that choice will lead you to that ending. Most choices have various numbers on it. For instance:
自信…ないかも…[④⑤⑥]
もちろん[①③]
So if you choose the first choice you will be heading to one of the ④⑤⑥ endings, but if you choose the second choice you will be heading to one of the ①③ endings. To get to an ending, you will have to choose that number's ending every time. So if you want for instance to unlock ending ①, every time you see a ① as a hint, you will have to choose that choice.
To unlock everything from the game you will have to do two things: Reach every ending and see every branch. This can be achieve in a practical and fast way by following the guidelines I'm gonna give you, but before that there is a couple of things that will be useful:
Text Color: As you probably know the
already readed text is marked in blue, while
the text you see for the first time is marked in black.
Skip Button: The skip button will skip all the blue text (already readed) and will stop at new text (in black), a decision or when Kento (Yukari's son) is checking rasbook.
Keep in mind that the Ctrl key will skip everything, so use the skip button instead. (of course you can re-read all the text if you want, it's your choice).
So in order to unlock everything, follow the next steps (I'll assume you are playing for the first time):
IMPORTANT: We will be using the color of the text to know if you have seeing that part of the game or not, so after a choice is made, if you see black text DON'T GO BACK OR RELOAD TO CHOOSE THE OTHER CHOICE OUT OF CURIOSITY. There are some people that after choosing a choice in VN go back and reload to choose the other option to see a little bit of what would have happened if they chose that instead. DON'T DO THAT IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE. You take the risk to miss one scene later on and not knowing where you missed it. The only time you are allowed to reload is after you reached one of the endings, then you can reload your last choice, and that's it. If you see blue text you can reload if you want (actually you will have to, in order to check if the other choice has black text).
0.
SAVE BEFORE EVERY CHOICE IN A DIFFERENT SLOT. I also advice to use an empty Save Page in every playthrough, to keep things in order.
1. Play the game however is more enjoyable to you and choose whatever you want. You will unlock a bunch of H-scenes and one of the endings. Take note on which ending you reach so you won't forget in the future.
2. Load the last choice you made in your first playthrough and choose the other choice instead. This will hopefully allow you to reach 2 endings in 1 playthrough. You will be doing this EVERY TIME YOU REACH AN ENDING.
3. From this point onward the skip function becomes very handy. Play from the beginning but this time choose every choice you didn't on your first playthrough. You should see black text after a choice every time. If you see blut text, then you probably already made that choice, so reload and choose the other choice (if you see blue text in both choices, then choose whichever you want). Reach the ending and take note of the number, then reload from your last choice and choose the other choice (just like you did on your first playthrough). This time however, it will be quite probable that you won't reach a new ending by reloading your last choice (you will probably reach one of the endings you have already saw on your first playthrough). Don't worry about it.
4. From this point onward you will have to decide which ending you want to unlock before you start your next playthrough.
5. Start your next playthrough, but this time you will have to follow this 2 rules:
Rule 1: Whenever you see a choice with the number of the ending you are going for, choose that! For example, let's say for that in your first two playthroughs you reached endings ①, ② and ③; and you decide to go for the ending ④ in your next playthrough. Then in this playthrough, whenever you see a ④ in one of the choices, click it. It doesn't matter if you already have seeing that part in previous playthroughs (blue text).
Rule 2: Whenever you see "ルート差分" (Route Branch) instead of a number OR whenever you don't see the number of the ending you are going for in this playthrough, choose the option that show you black text (unread text... remember the IMPORTANT NOTE in the beginning: if you see black text, continue, don't go back or reload your choice). If both options show you blue text then choose whatever you want.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining endings. After reaching all the 6 endings doing this you should have unlocked everything in the game. If you still have some scene missing, then you will have to check every choice you made (that's why you should save in every decision) to see if there is black text at some point. However, I doubt you would have to do that, since I'm almost sure you will already have everything unlocked already (H-Scenes, Yukari dress room and rasbook pictures).
That's it, corrections and questions are welcome. I hope this helps you out.
Edit: I said "quick guide" but I think it was longer than my previous one LOL.
