- Played the tutorial to get an idea of combat, but didn't fight anyone (including matches for money) at first.
- Within the first 2 days, I found 4 DD Drinks (there are 5 total, see post #111 on page 8 of this thread "Where to buy DD Potion"). I used all 4 in a row at the training center, receiving a massive stat boost.
- Late night (the last phase of the day before morning) I happened across the labyrinth game house in the red-light district. I luckily won on the first try. I spent that money on a the strongest weapon at the shop, and (IIRC) an HP +700 accessory plus a VP+9 accessory.
- This is probably key: I spent the SP points from my DD Drink training on all 6 of the lesser heals (listed as "Fairy whispers" under the "Skills" section of the post I linked above). And I would fight with 3-4 of that skill equipped. Spending EP smart and knowing the skills well is an important part of playing well in this game. I never spent a single point upgrading counter.
- I then destroyed the first duel opponent. The second duel opponent, or maybe the third, had heavy armor, and I bought some of the Shockwave skill to deal with him. I had no problems with any of them until the sixth, but I still managed to beat him after three or four tries with 3 Fairy whispers, 2 Shockwaves, and 1 Concentration. I defeated the seventh opponent on day 11.
- At that point, I checked out this thread to learn what I should do to not miss any events and get the true end. I found the rest of the H events, only missing the one where Sachi bends down while helping a man look for something. I fought matches whenever I couldn't find an event that I hadn't seen yet and the colosseum was open, equipping the strongest prize money-boosting perfume I could find. I was getting 9,000 each fight for most of the game, then around day 20 I started to get 15,000 for each fight.
- I ended up buying two of the HP +1500 accessories and two of the Def +30/Will+20 accessories (all in the outdoor shop). For perfume, I used the strongest anti-arousal one available for duels (which I got from the 20,000 wine event). Also, I went back to the labyrinth game house, and found a chest in the upper right corner that had a nice item I equipped for a while.
- Late at night on day 16 at the front gate area, I encountered the first event needed for the true end. The second event was in the morning on day 20 with all 4 of the tenants, and the third was at noon in the red-light district the very same day. All three events were impossible to miss if you visit the area they're located in at the right time.
- I fought matches almost all day from day 20 to day 24, getting a lot of money. I used my money to buy the 350,000 accessory that recovers HP every turn (it appears randomly in the outdoor shop). On days 25 to 27, I just did the offensive training all day.
- I beat both the eighth duel opponent and the final boss with the weapon you can buy just before the final boss battle that costs 188,000 (I actually had to reload and fight another day of matches to afford it), the strongest anti-arousal perfume, the 350,000 accessory, one of the Def+30/Will+20 accessories, and one of the HP+1500 accessories. My skills were 3 Spirit blessing (strong heal) and 3 Blood strike (strongest attack). I didn't have any trouble beating either on the first try.
