Nosebleed Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Little Busters! If You're Using 'English Edition', Use This Guide Summary Riki was a child when his parents died, leaving him hopeless and depressed. What saved him was a group of four kids calling themselves the Little Busters. They took Riki out and played with him during his time of need. He really enjoyed being together with them, and his grief gradually faded away. Now in his second year of high school they still hang out, fight and live together, and enjoy their school life. Ending Guideline / Suggested Route Order (Important! Please read) Spoiler Little Busters is quite complex as it includes mini-games along with the narration. For the sake of this walkthrough I will exclude the battle scenes and the baseball practice mini games as they do not hinder story progression and they make the walkthrough simpler. I will include the extra routes in the end if any of you are interested in playing them though. This Visual Novel has lockable routes, meaning once you finish a route you will not be able to replay it again until you clear the game (Albeit for Komari and Rin's route). Adding to that there are certain scenes and events that require routes to be locked/unlocked. To view the most scenes the suggested play order and the order i'm doing this walkthrough by is: Komari -> Rin part 1 -> Kurugaya -> Haruka -> Kud -> Mio -> Rin part 2 Reasons: One of Komari's route's scenes with Kurugaya only occurs if Rin part 1 or Kurugaya's route isn't finished. One of Haruka's bad end extra scenes requires Kurugaya's route to be locked and Kud's route to not be locked. The childhood friends have some extra scenes during the baseball match, but only if Rin part 1 isn't completed. There are certain choices during each route that get locked or that are necessary for that route to be completed. There is also always one choice that will define wether you get the bad ending or not and there are even certain choices that may or may not appear and thus I will put notes in parenthesis next side certain choices so you don't get confused. I will be listing the required choices to complete a route in bold. Now that we're done explaining how this novel works, on with the walkthrough. Route Guideline Kamikita Komari Good End Spoiler 5/17 Go to the rooftop 5/18 Go buy juice Take on the task 5/21 Komari 5/22 Go back to the classroom 5/23 Quit (May or may not appear) Go to the rooftop Get something to drink Talk to them 5/24 Go and get something to drink Help her out Komari 5/27 You should probably go on a sunny day (May or may not appear) 5/28 Go to the rooftop ----- Leave her alone ----- Face reality head on Bad End Spoiler To get the bad ending simply follow through the previous walkthrough and at the final choice pick: Pretend not to notice anything Natsume Rin Good End Spoiler This is one of the routes where most people get lost so I'd like to clear out some things. First, Rin's route is divided in two parts, when you play it for the first time and complete it you will lock the first part which most people assume it is a bad end which is untrue, Rin's route part 2 will be available to play once every other character's route (including Rin part 1) is completed and that is what will unlock the final chapter of Little Busters (Refrain) 5/14 Watch for a while 5/15 Go look for her Watch for a while 5/16 Follow after Rin Watch for a while 5/17 Run after Rin Watch for a while 5/19 Look for Rin Watch for a while 5/21 Rin 5/22 Go to the cafeteria Go 5/23 Watch for a while Keep helping her out 5/24 Look for the cat Rin 5/25 Consult Rin ----- Cheer her on ----- Go (Only available in Rin part 2) ----- Become stronger (Only available in Rin part 2) There is no bad end to Rin's route as Rin's route is itself a bad ending that is supposed to happen, don't lose hope! Kurugaya Yuiko Good End Spoiler Most people get confused with Kurugaya's end as well. There are actually only 2 ends and they're both the good ends, however in the first playthrough you don't get the true good ending. Fear nothing, if you replay Kurugaya's route after Refrain you will unlock her true ending which is far more fullfilling. 5/17 Watch the battle 5/18 Stay in the courtyard 5/21 Go buy juice Look for her Good intentions Go see what they're talking about Kurugaya 5/22 Go find her (Gets locked after route is completed) Go to the backyard Listen carefully Go see what they're talking about 5/23 Quit (May or may not appear) Get something to drink Go see what they're talking about 5/24 Go see what they're talking about Kurugaya 5/27 You should probably go on a sunny day (May or may not appear) 5/28 Go to the cafeteria (May or may not appear) Don't talk to her ----- Feign ignorance ----- Forwards ----- I can't give up... Saigusa Haruka Good End Spoiler 5/15 Lend it to her 5/16 Take it Get involved 5/17 Look for it Don't go to the rooftop 5/18 Go buy juice Take on the task 5/19 Go out (May or may not appear depending on wether you've been helping Rin or not, it's okay if it doesn't) 5/19 Give her a hand (Same as the above) 5/21 Haruka 5/22 Go to the cafeteria Haruka-san (Gets locked after route is complete) 5/23 Quit (May or may not appear) Go to the cafeteria Help her 5/24 Look for the cat Haruka 5/27 You should probably go on a sunny day(May or may not appear) 5/28 Courtyard Vending Machine (May or may not appear) Ask what happened ----- Head to the meeting room ----- Ask for the truth ----- Check it out ----- Continue searching for Haruka-san ----- Saw it in the class register ----- Yes ----- I understand ----- That's a good idea ----- Accept her condition ----- Don't give up Bad End Spoiler Follow the previous walkthrough but when Haruka asks who did you heard it from pick: Heard it from Futaki-san And in the final choice pick: Give up Noumi Kudryavka Good End Spoiler 5/16 Help her look for a roommate 5/18 Me Choose a roommate you want, this won't hinder story progression and each of them has some individual scenes during the common route. Tips: Haruka and Mio are both available to be Kud's roommate. Futaki can be chosen by suggesting Rin, Komari or Kurugaya as neither of those 3 is available, or by choosing "Keep searching" later What did you ask? 5/19 Help her 5/22 Nodded (Gets locked after route is complete) 5/23 Talk to Kud Quit (May or may not appear) Talk to them (Only if Mio's roommate) 5/24 Kud 5/27 Do you mind if I tag along? ----- She should go Bad End Spoiler Follow the previous walkthrough and at the final choice pick: I want her to stay Nishizono Mio Good End Spoiler 5/16 Help her look for a roommate 5/18 Nishizono-san Stay in the courtyard Nishizono-san 5/19 In the courtyard 5/21 Look for her Good intentions 5/22 Go to the courtyard 5/23 Talk to Kud Quit (May or may not appear) Go to the courtyard (Gets locked after route is compelte) Talk to them 5/24 Go to the courtyard Mio 5/27 You should probably go on a sunny day (May or may not appear) 5/28 Go to the courtyard ----- Midori ----- Good intentions Bad End Spoiler Follow the previous walkthrough and in the last choice pick: Bad intentions After you complete all character's routes you now must replay Rin's route and follow the newly unlocked choices which I included in her route's walkthrough and that will complete Rin's route and unlock the Refrain chapter. Refrain Good End Spoiler This is the final chapter of Little Busters. Here is where the story starts getting twists and turns and things get pretty serious. I recommend you try playing it for yourself as these choices were made by me and I have not tested every possible choice. If you choose to follow this walkthrough though these choices will lead you to the true ending. - Use my Brain - Ask Him - Ask Kengo - Because he reminded himself of the injury - Escape with Rin - Yes (Only available during second Refrain playthrough) - It’s not enough - Calm myself down - Break off branches - Postpone his rescue - Tell her to check the luggage - Think it through - Rescue Kyousuke After the first ending credits, Kyousuke will ask if its enough. Reply, “It’s not enough” to get the true end, and continue on to get the Little Jumper ending. Bad End Spoiler You don't need to be a genius to figure out this one. Though there might be other ways to get a bad ending the easiest and most obvious one is to pick the 2nd choice when you hear Kyousuke asks if it's enough. You've now beaten the game and got the true ending, congratulations. Below are some extra routes that you might want to check out but do not add anything to the story, still I felt like it should be posted to help out anyone that wants to do every little thing possible in Little Busters! Muscle Sensation Good End Spoiler Oh you thought there weren't any more routes? Think again. Yes Masato has his own route which you can get to by following these choices 5/15 Go look for her 5/16 Play with Masato Help her look for a roommate 5/17 Stop them 5/18 Nishizono-san Nishizono-san Stay in the courtyard Play with Masato 5/19 Play with Masato Play with Masato 5/19 Play with Masato Help her 5/21 Play with Masato 5/22 Play with Masato Nodded 5/23 Play with Masato 5/24 Play with Masato 5/27 Do you mind if I tag along? ----- Masato and me ----- Muscle There's no bad end to this route, just Muscles. Mask the Saito Good End Spoiler To get to this event you must enable the battle ranking system as you play. You must also meet these requirements for the event to happen: You must have completed at least one character's route (Rin part 1 excluded). Riki has to be Rank 1 when Kurugaya joins the team on 5/18. Riki must advance to Rank 1 once more during or after 5/21. Saito will join the battle rankings as soon as Riki's reached Rank 1 again. Saito will advance in the rankings each time you wander and keep Riki Rank 1. When Saito's Rank 2 or 3, he will challenge Riki when you choose to wander. Tips on how to beat Mask the Saito - Riki's stats increase as you complete characters' routes so i advice you to play this later on. - Playing with Masato is a great way to get useful items for use or trade. - The stat-ups from participating in batting practice can help big time. Unknown Lifeform Good End Spoiler The mission starts on 5/18 evening when you choose "Watch calmly". Rin will fight the lifeform several times: once on 5/18, once on 5/19 and twice on 5/20, the lifeform getting stronger each time. There's no real reward for defeating the lifeforms. There are three different lifeforms to be defeated throughout the game. When Rin wins the last battle on 5/20, the next lifeform will be unlocked. The next lifeform can be found on the next playthrough, at the same event. The first and second lifeforms can be defeated with even moderate stats. The third lifeform is one of the strongest enemies in the game. Prepare! The event will be over if Rin loses. Kengo or Masato will fight the lifeform.
