Chronotopia Second Skin Endings Guide
This is an official guide to help you reach every character ending and unlock every single archive. It is also meant to give you hints for 100% achievements (a detailed guide for elemental spirits & memory fragments is underway) if you ever get stuck.
There is no enforced order but we recommend aiming for Nahima > Médeia > Bear purely for the feeling of progression (the last ending being the longest). Some choices impact your ending more than others: We will make suggestions in italic for less important ones or omit them altogether. Enforced choices do not truly count as choices (ex: one is greyed out).
Nahima
Save 1: First choice after the prologue
• That I was with you
• I did not sleep very well
• Really?
• I trust you*
• I believe in magic
• Do not say anything
• Could be better
If this is your 1st playthrough, we recommend picking the following order:
• Pretend to be dead > Flee with the skin as a disguise
as it’s simply more rewarding to get the shortest route out of the way first.
* Bonus save: You can make a save in the canvas room to unlock the optional illustration (Queen Portrait) when you want. It counts towards The Art Dealer achievement.
Save 2: Your first death
Don’t forget to make a save here or/and in the next occurrence to get the Too Tired To Live achievement (Let yourself die). It has a slightly different variation depending on Nahima’s fate. Otherwise choose Invoke the fairy every time.
All following choices impact your relationship with Fleur but not with the love interest. This following sequence gives you the Fleur’s Wrath achievement and changes a few sentences in several scenes later in the story.
• Do you need them?
• Cheese again?
• Is it because of thieves?
• Give Fleur some privacy
• Act as if nothing had happened
• Nahima’s presence
Save 3: Choose your own chore
Don’t forget to make a save before selecting your chore. That way you can pick them in a random order to get the Fluttering Around achievement.

Save 4: Choose a task to pass time
Don’t forget to make a save before selecting your task. You can only succeed a task if you did the corresponding chore in the previous route (and saw that storyline to completion). Failing a task gives you an achievement so you still want to pick these choices before going back.
