People wanted a guide right? Have at you. Remember, this is for a
fresh save. Your save won't have ANY scenes unlocked.
I also will not be telling you when to save except for story content where you cannot go back, which is at the very end. Save regularly and make backups. If you exceed the alloted amount of saveslots, you can still use more saves, just rename them, archive them, copy them to another folder, it's your call.
(Limitations made this quite a hassle. Max 20 pictures, max 64 post attachments and direct links to attachments are annoying to make sooo... yeah, hope you don't mind links.)
- Run Katalist and select "Wake Up". Confirm.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994294_1659907798850.png
- Pick any choice during the intro. Head north and enter Gatastate college, as well as the main building.
Optional: Bring up the Menu and set Options to Hell/Very Hard/Vanilla difficulty (or Very Easy, you coward), and also set content options for stuff you want/don't want to see. You'll also be able to set Toilet and Brutality later, but don't ask about the rest because even though it's not implemented, this guide will ignore it completely. And so will I.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994295_1659907832536.png
- Don't pay any attention to Allan and answer randomly. You'll worry about your stats later.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994297_1659907924287.png
- Allan will explain the basics as well as the College Map setup. Pay attention here.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994298_1659908018211.png
- You are back in Dilan's control. Exit to the south, take the lift to F0 and exit the dorm. You'll be interrupted by John. You know the drill by now.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994304_1659908252970.png
- Just remember this, right? And no, he doesn't want to have sex with Dilan yet. Disappointing, I know.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994305_1659908305699.png
- Go two screens east from the Male Dorm to the College Gate. Enter, take the stairs to F1 and north to the Teachers' Room. Meet up with Miss Macky in the southeast corner.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994316_1659908516017.png
- She will escort you to your class and ask you to introduce yourself. Again, just be yourself if you're not female and self-insert as a depressed Katalist-to-be, or, like, just have fun and have Dilan be Dilan. Doesn't matter, enjoy the scenes. Tip: There are more than 4 choices, scroll down to see more when you see an arrow.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994320_1659908698857.png
- If your attention to detail is decent, you'll notice that there are two empty seats even though 1-D only has one. Make a mental note of the lower left desk. We'll get more intel on that later. Like, much later if you're fucking slow, so move on, Katalist-to-be. Class is then DISMISSED, skip to Nighttime.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994337_1659908909865.png
- Exit the Male Dorm to the south, take the lift again to F0. Make a mental note of this for when you can't use Fast Travel or the cube. Go three screens east to the Right outskirts and take a left up north around the building, behind school. Proceed.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994347_1659909136370.png
- For those who can't read for shit, this is Dominic von Slaught who leads the Occult Club, has a spiffy necklace (shh, you'll get it later on, just be nice to him), a weird cape that glitches out (it's not his fault, Teary made him that way), and he's an intellectual. He's also in 1-A, because, well yeah, being smart and all, and rich and... having connections. But enough of this. Have your usual fun and call him Domi or whatever. Make a mental note of the fact he's in the Occult Club. And in 1-A. And yes, he's a he.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994352_1659909407582.png
- John will start to get impatient about the "Sakkubas" summoning ritual. Like, ignore him, facepalm at the scene, and proceed. YO MAN DON'T USE HARD WORDS HAHA. Poor John doesn't even know his ties to the rest of the world (this is actually canon) and his personality is, well, John. Also note the "alredy" because this is Teary's trademark use of "already" throughout the entire game so you can ensure the dialogue is original and not a bootleg.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994371_1659909610955.png
- Head towards the circle to complete the pentagram, then watch the scene.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994372_1659909677708.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994374_1659909700776.png
- A Fate Stay Night moment will happen. Congratulations on summoning the wrong servant - they're way out of your league and much more than a lesser succubus. Well, technically, there was an interference~ Meet Noo. You'll get to become intimate with her. And die. Like, real soon.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994380_1659909870624.png
- As usual, pick a choice. Remember that most choices actually have different dialogue. But if you're just here for other purposes, move on and pick whatever.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994385_1659910010824.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994394_1659910464531.png
- You'll wake up in Noo's Residence. She started draining energy off the Occult Club members (and John - that thing actually has usable energy?!) so oh shit it's time to play depressed hero. It's not KonoSuba but hai, Kazuma desu. Your cause is weird, your depression is high and your confusion is very, very real. Anyway, time to die and fuck up your own death. Talk to your drained fellows or just directly head to Noo and talk to her. No need to save unless you have errands to do or something.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994404_1659910763217.png
- Dominic von Slaught will appear and try to cast Banish. Unfortunately, such a weak spell does nothing against a greater succubus, let alone the Katalist. You do your thing, you.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994406_1659910897535.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994408_1659910937098.png
- Time for the classic "You can't die just now" trope. Except, well, actually, at this point you'll lose any and all ability to die.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994409_1659911063556.png
- I didn't see that dick down there. Don't even try to bring it up, and that means for the entire guide. Also yes, YOU HAD ONE JOB. AND YA BLEW IT.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994412_1659911185050.png
- Make short work of a visibly confused Noo and move on. You have acquired
Noo's Essence. Essences are crucial in Katalist and - oh fuck enough with this plot shit, just kick succubus butt and then go see Vaila, the witch who raised you from the dead (more on that very soon). I'll refrain from being too enthusiastic about this since no matter the essences, all that matters for the game to progress is that you did kick her ass. You'll be handing her essence even if you don't have it. Don't believe me? Drop the item and do it. Anyway, move on for some more scenes. Welcome to the Snow Barren, home to Vaila and many evil things. Technically, she's evil herself too, but she revived you and all so let's not, right? Do your job.

https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994426_1659911920324.png
- Dominic can be flirted with if you want. I'm not gonna judge. He still won't have sex with Dilan. And I don't want to watch whatever creepy stuff you do with the guys here. Keep it to yourself, Katalist. Time to learn more about yourself and why you didn't die. Oh wow. *grabs some aspirin*
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994430_1659912042624.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994434_1659912201813.png
- I'm here to explain but Teary went out of his way to do this so be thankful to him and read this. Unless you already know, then let's just move on. Press "M" to access Fast Travel and save A LOT of time. Don't attend the classes, as long as you don't explicitly skip by going there and choosing "Skip", it doesn't matter. Now on to nighttime again. You don't have the keys yet, so meet up with Dominic behind school. (I said night. Don't pay attention to the date, matricula, okay? *threatening red eyes*)
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994441_1659912538331.png

https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994448_1659912797663.png
- Basically, you can no longer die and you must kill the demons. John Stalvern was right. Fuck his father.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994449_1659912868161.png
- Now head back to Noo and kick her ass again (supposedly for her essence, but really, just plasma the shit out of her). Simple, right? You can't die, remember. You'll even be fed levels instead of being drained later, but we're, like, not exactly there yet. Inquire about Essences to pretend you give a shit about her goal. I mean, Vaila saved Dilan's ass even though she also enthralled him, so have him show some respect.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994454_1659913196298.png
- I call bullshit, but whatever Vaila says. Grab the shitty gear she gives you (it's free, why complain). Also go take a look at the cauldron to unlock
Alchemy.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994458_1659913598670.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994498_1659915030786.png
- This will become a recurring meme soon enough in the guide, so might as well get accustomed to it. What she said - "slain", you lazy fuck, you.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994508_1659915365214.png
- Head back to Noo's Residence through the portal and kick her ass again. Noo's like totally devastated (understandable; she isn't even trying). You should be at least at energy level 6-7 by now.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994553_1659917326972.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994557_1659917514418.png
- Let's head back to the witch. Talk about "Noo's Essences" to progress the story (you still need to defeat her; you don't need the essence but I won't be repeating that, you get the item automatically anyway).
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994560_1659917650900.png
- Exit the dorm. John will catch you and Dominic will interrupt him. You'll be taken to the Occult Room, where you can learn
Lucid Dreams from the book highlighted with the shining star. After the scene, go read the book then exit the room. You can now recollect some scenes with past encounters whenever you sleep if you so wish.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994565_1659918025872.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994567_1659918138579.png
- Vaila will bitch about Dominic von Slaught not being here. Well, he told you he'd be here, can't be helped.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994572_1659918324017.png
- You will be told to go find Vhidna in the meantime. You also get a
Crystal Stone to make connections from other portals to the Witch's. This time we'll have to walk a bit but we'll take this occasion to unlock
Crafting.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994574_1659918393903.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994577_1659918510040.png
- Follow the path to the village, talk to the Blacksmith, exit and then follow the ash path to the north. Activate the portal by stepping on it, then go back to
Vhidna's Place, which is now unlocked from the Witch's House. Save then talk to Vhidna and die. Yay.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994593_1659918898542.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994594_1659919001661.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994595_1659919045678.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994601_1659919151037.png
- Vhidna will understandably go what the fuck at Dilan casually respawning. Confront her with your best comeback. She'll then teleport and ditch Dilan, so head back through the portal. Dominic von Slaught is finally here. Explain the situation. You're out of options for the time being, so back to the dorm it is.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994632_1659920007009.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994634_1659920109511.png
- Skip to nighttime, fast travel to the ritual site then teleport to Vhidna's Place again. She's back where she was. Time to kick ass this time around. You know, for the essence bullshit and all that.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994650_1659920538451.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994651_1659920554293.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994652_1659920567521.png
- Because that fucking witch can't even give her Katalist enough stamina to do more than one job a day, you have no choice but to go crash on your bed again. As if dying wasn't boring enough when you're already dead, right? Make a mental note of Jalié.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994654_1659920668068.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994658_1659920820716.png
- Talk to John and inquire about Dominic. You'll notice that Dominic smells weird and acts strange. He also didn't read the book. Skip to nighttime then go as usual; Dominic will be standing in front of the portal. What's wrong with reading a goddamn book? The plot thickens...
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994659_1659920906267.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994663_1659920986802.png

https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994677_1659921279242.png
- So it turns out the Katalist can't open portals even though some lame ass Magician can. Well, whatever. Vaila has a brilliant idea as usual to "save the world" (more like take her revenge against Succubi and use you as her pawn) and so now basically you need to go tell Vhidna you want her to send you to Ayleen. Who will, as you already guessed, kill you. Yay. Like, it's a routine by now. You're already dead, might as well explore even more ways to die while being dead. Make a mental note of Rousou, by the way. That name will show up again later.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994681_1659921486066.png

https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994685_1659921623484.png
- Step into the portal you use as a connection between Vhidna's Place and the Witch's House (while thinking of a needle, of course) and you'll now be in
Ayleen's Library. Go read the book up north to learn skills. Oh no, it's a trap! (*dramatic sounds*)
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994689_1659921763456.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994690_1659921829999.png
- Dilan's face is priceless here. Not gonna lie.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994692_1659921855377.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994693_1659921903970.png
- After some bookworm eurobeat, respawn as usual and introduce yourself to Ayleen. She doesn't seem to give the slightest fuck about you still being somewhat functional, but then again, books are fascinating and require a lot of focus. I can relate to this.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994695_1659922098399.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994697_1659922148443.png
- Chat with the bookworm a bit about how Frank Herbert's Dune is awesome, Gen Urobuchi should do some RPG Maker shit once in a while and Patchouli Knowledge was the magician all along. Also, don't let yourself get bothered by her feet for now, we have more urgent matters at hand. "Slain" her as you always do, you badass Katalist, you. (And by that I mean slay, don't fucking get killed, that's not part of the plan for now.)
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994700_1659922388412.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994702_1659922423492.png
- While you're here, you can also study a few books - or just don't mess with your save and head straight back. Vaila's a bit slow in the head and won't realize you've already defeated Ayleen, so give her a good whack on the head with a book and try again, then bring up the essence bullshit as usual. "Great job as always", etc etc. And of course, you have to sleep. Goddamnit.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994708_1659922611178.png
- Exit the dorm. An enthusiastic John will be there - this can't be good. Anyway, you'll end up with him and Dominic von Slaught at the eatery.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994711_1659922800661.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994712_1659922865059.png
- There's clearly something up with Dominic. He will lie about John and turns out he's not done with the book. Which makes Vaila suspicious as she also notices the lingering smell, so she'll track him under the pretense of giving him an item that makes him learn the book faster.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994715_1659923089977.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994717_1659923186688.png
- Examine the portal and you'll notice something VERY off. Turns out there's another portal somewhere in your world and Dominic used it! A place within a 30 kilometers radius... Sounds like a bus could get there easily. Maybe
Sentinel City?
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994729_1659923311186.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994730_1659923395079.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994731_1659923537924.png
- Step on the portal and focus on the new location. You'll end up in
Sentinel Tower. Bingo. Also, what's with all the ruckus?!
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994732_1659923622169.png
- Go upstairs to find that John is there as well and not exactly in good shape. Talk about a Saturday Night Fever gone wrong. Dominic is also fighting with yet another totally fine lass who happens to be
Miki.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994736_1659923740982.png

https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994748_1659923939645.png
- Well shit, she noticed you. Dominic explains the situation, and as he is done John wakes up, only to behave just like his good ol' self. Well, at least he's safe but not for long if this keeps up, as pointed out by Dominic.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994750_1659924003305.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994755_1659924142399.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994757_1659924355572.png
- Now, since Miki can't get out, we'll just have to kick the shit out of her because we'll need to examine her essence later. And because, well, she won't let Dominic go anyway. And we need him back. Exhausting. Let's make her do just that by force.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994765_1659924688719.png
- Make a mental note of the name Niht. This will become very important and very soon. After telling Dominic he's free, he will reminisce on how the ritual went from fucked up to total apeshit yet Noo leaked some valuable yet incomplete information. You now are tasked with asking Noo about who exactly she was expecting to show up. Also, you gain the valuable
Von Slaught Necklace item which not only gives minor Mindbreak resistance, but also allows you to try and reduce Mindbreak effects once per night should Dilan become Mindbroken, Mindstruck or become affected with mindsinks (more on this crucial part very soon).
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994768_1659924955528.png
- Save your progress. Go back to the Witch's House through the Sentinel Tower portal and explain the situation. Now go back to Noo's Residence and ask her about the night of the Ritual.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994777_1659925204085.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994779_1659925386665.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994786_1659925515527.png
- Turns out she wants her council badge back to answer one question. Might as well do it. Go back to her portal and this time, focus on Maven's Bastion. She's tough but nothing a Katalist can't handle. Kick the shit out of her for some phat loot and the goddamn badge. Dilan should be at least energy level 20 by now.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994797_1659925628074.png

- Time to report back to Noo and learn more about Dilan's hidden powers. Give Noo the
Badge, ask her any question (she will reply vaguely either way, obviously) and let her engage - she won't harm you. She'll explain how to learn
Energy Transmutation and
Essence Meditation.

- Report back to Dominic in Sentinel Tower. He'll then automatically take you back to Vaila. Oh wow, the atmosphere is tense. You'll be back to Sentinel Tower with a rather confused Vaila. Miki really doesn't make the atmosphere any better by calling her a beggar. *angry witch noises*

- It turns out Jalié is no good, so you're going to have to face Bonnie Frost after collecting
5 Meddled Energies (the star-shaped items). Now would be another good time to save. We're getting close. Head back to your room after collecting the energies to find
a strange cube. You now have access to Damna's Covert and can memorize three locations where your Fast Travel normally doesn't work.

- Spend the day as usual, skip to nighttime and meet up with Dominic and Vaila at the Witch's House. They will work in unison to open a connection to
Hotel Vania. Before you go, it would be wise to get some more Pennies to extend your permanence. Make sure you have at least 5000 so you can rent a room for a day. Focus on the lingering connection and reply as instructed. Head towards the reception and rent a room. If you want some quick fun, head towards the lift and Margo Vania will not be happy. Exit your room and head to the lift right next, then Room S04 it is.

- Interact with the pantyhose. Bonnie Frost will show up and freeze you ice cold. Keep cool (...) and answer her questions. She'll eventually release you.

- Bonnie is excessively nice to Dilan; besides, she isn't a succubus, being able to use advanced magic. That said, you do need to defeat her. Do your job.
WARNING: AFTER "HANDING OVER HER ESSENCE" TO THE WITCH, SHIT MIGHT GO SOUTH REAL BAD AND NOT JUST FROM BUGS. Make a save now and
DON'T FORGET TO SAVE BEFORE GOING BACK TO SEE THE WITCH, NO MATTER WHAT!

-
I'LL REPEAT IT AGAIN. SAVE. NOW. YOU'LL SEE WHY. AND YOU'LL REGRET IT IF YOU DON'T.
With this out of the way, take a deep breath, exit Hotel Vania and head back to the portal where you met "Richard". Teleport to the Witch's House and tell her about the essence as usual. Something REALLY strange will happen.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994877_1659929157829.png
- The screen will start flashing, Vaila's dialogue will become harder and harder to comprehend and Dilan's head will start to hurt like crazy, with a voice chanting a looping threat in his head. You are witnessing the beginning of a
mindsink. This has a major role in the upcoming dungeon and can completely block you from accessing it altogether if shit blows up. Once the dialogue is done, the true
hindsight interference (causing a voice to loop and intermittent flashing screens following you until you sleep) will begin. Go rest before you go crazy, and
SAVE AGAIN before you do!

Mindsinks prevent the use of the cube/fast travel, will cause nightmares when sleeping and can play out differently depending on the choices. To access My Own from the first mindsink, press the cancel button
five times when prompted for the warmth or cold. You will get a message the first, third, and finally fifth time, unlocking a third choice in the middle.
The first
mindsink will warp you back to Bonnie's suite in Hotel Vania no matter the route. It will play out differently depending on which route you followed. Choose
walk forward to confirm.

- Don't try talking to Bonnie Frost once she sits down, she isn't reachable in the dream scene. You'll also notice you can use fast travel, which means you aren't truly in Hotel Vania. Teleport to your room and sleep again to trigger a
second mindsink. It will match the route you picked and may have choices.
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2022/08/1994903_1659930368219.png
- Skip the day to nighttime as usual. A
third mindsink will play out and Margo Vania will wake you up, giving you some top tier choices to pick from. This time, you're in the real Hotel Vania - no fast travel for you. Head out the normal way and prepare as you will be entering a
one-time only dungeon! Turns out Miki's the child of Niht - a deity - and not a succubus. Regardless, you need to confront her about this.

- Teleport to Sentinel Tower and position yourself in front of Miki. You'll have another choice available when talking to Miki, but before you do so,
SAVE. There is
NO TURNING BACK ONCE YOU DO.

- After the confrontation, you leave, but Miki stops you. She'll explain she heard literal screams that were coming from beneath. Agree to follow her and you'll understand a bit better. Makes sense she's this nervous. (As a note, the skeleton has been there for a long time.)

- A ghost will appear out of nowhere and push Dilan to his death (you're used to it by now, right?) while whispering "Boudreaux".

- Welcome to the
Quarterboards, where you have many opportunities to find out secrets about Gatastate College. Secrets that, mind you, students "took" with them when they "left". Those who didn't are still here. Since this is a point of no-return, I'll leave you to your explorations, but before that, know that if you didn't see the mindsinks, you're essentially fucked, as they are necessary to leave the place. You can also reach the
Departures without the keys, but that does require some glitch abuse. Your goal is to reach the
Overseer's Lodge via the
Rat's Corridor (where you will meet
Alex) with
Ki, who will be kidnapped by the ghost you met earlier (
Julia) and sending you into a countercurrent bloodflow trap you can only escape from by fighting within your own mind. Once you cause the voices to shut up, the current will push you south to the
Bloodworks, where you will meet up again with
Ki who's being hunted by a starving
Julia. Tell Julia to stop and distract her - in the meantime, Alex will leap over the pit and attempt to catch Julia, who decides to jump towards the opposite pit rather than be caught again. This prompts Alex to go back and curse her life, and you are then left with a further traumatized Ki left in a nervous breathing state. Explore a bit as you can't go back here, grab the pennies from the chest, go up then right to read interesting incantations of Niht and pick up various items, then left where Julia kidnapped Ki and to the end of the corridor to find a gory mirror and all the keys you'll need to exit this dungeon. There are way too many spoilers about Gatastate's staffers in here, so you're on your own - either way, now that you have the emergency exit key, head off to the Departures, flip the skull skitch and command it to open the Midways Level 2, then climb up the ladder to exit a manhole that was right next to Sentinel Tower.
Edit: Fixed typos. Thanks for reading.
