Introduction and Notes before Starting ------------------------------------------ Welcome to Catherine! This game has 50 achievements for a total of 1000 and is an M-rated horror/romance /puzzle/adventure video game from Atlus USA. The same developers of this game also brought you such titles as Persona 3 and Persona 4. Catherine heavily deals with themes such as relationships, infidelity, love, and maturity while at the same time throwing in the mystery and horror of unexplained deaths of unfaithful young men. In this game you play the role of Vincent Brooks, a 32 year old man trying to escape the prospect of marriage with his girlfriend Katherine all the while juggling his subsequent affair with Catherine. Following the affair, he is plunged into nightmares each time he sleeps, which makes up the puzzle/action part of the game. Each night within his dream, Vincent must push and pull blocks from a tower to create a path to the top, all the while racing against a time-limit or outrunning bosses which are manifestations of his real-life fears! There are 2 aspects to the game, "Nightmare" where you play a puzzle game involving climbing staircases at night. And also "Stray Sheep" where during the day you explore the bar with Vincent, send text messages, chat with friends, play games, order drinks, listen to the jukebox, or even help a fellow patron in need! A fair portion of the achievements are simple enough to obtain, however the outrageous difficulty of getting gold prizes on Hard along with beating the Babel stages will take a level of expertise and practice. This game isn't like most, it requires cognitive abilities, improvisation, and thought processing to win. Not for casual gamers! Breakdown ---------- Playthrough 1(Law) Begin your first Golden Playhouse playthrough on Normal difficulty. It's best to start on this difficulty because you will miss too many achievements on Easy. This is the playthrough will you will follow the "Law" alignment so make sure you are positive in your answers throughout the game whether it's through text message, confessionals, or conversations with friends. From the start the game will immediately throw you into a puzzle. If you make a mistake during the puzzle then hit the Back Button to go back a move, this only works on Normal difficulty and under. If you ever get stuck on a Stage Copy and paste the link below to help you out. http://catherinethegame.wikia.com/wiki/Walkthrough:Overview You don't need to focus on getting gold prizes in the stages on your first run, you can simply replay stages from your cell phone at anytime later in the game for the gold prizes. There are 9 stages in all with each one containing a certain amount of floors. In between floors are Landings which are pit stops where you can chat with other sheep who are also trying to survive, some can even give you helpful advice. Once you enter confession and answer the question it moves you on to the next floor. The final floor is usually a Boss stage where you must escape some evil manifestation, these are the most intense stages in the game. It's important that you use techniques given to you by sheep when you're in a squeeze, plus there's always the video links in case you get frustrated. Once you complete all floors of a stage Vincent's dream will end and you will be back in the real world. Stray Sheep Bar -------------- During this playthrough be sure to speak to everyone in Stray Sheep bar and encourage them if they have problems. Some patrons don't show up everyday so make sure you do this for all 8 days to get "Everyday Hero". Hit up the jukebox for "Play It Again...Vince" plus order and drink all 4 alcoholic beverages each day to work towards the tidbit achievements. There are also random task achievements you can get during your first playthrough, see Miscellaneous. Make a save at Stage 9-1 so that you can get 3 endings per playthrough for each alignment. Once you complete the game you will unlock an Ending achievement(see Endings) and also "Welcome to the Colosseum". Playthrough 2(Chaos) and 3(Neutral) ----------------------------------- Now use the next 2 playthroughs to get the rest of the endings. Follow a new alignment each time you start a New Game. The game only requires 3 full playthroughs to attain all endings, plus if you get gold prizes on some of the Nightmare stages then you can skip them the second go round speeding up subsequent playthroughs. If you have missed any other miscellaneous Golden Playhouse achievements, be sure to nab them on your 2nd or 3rd go round. Note: * I strongly recommend that by the 8th Day on your first playthrough that you replay all stages and get gold prizes on them. Just pull up your cell phone and you can replay them by going to AWARDS. Getting gold prizes will allow you to skip through all stages and cutscenes in future playthroughs allowing you to nab the Ending and miscellaneous based achievements faster. To skip a scene or stage hit the Back Button then go to "Skip". Read further for more info. Golden Playhouse ---------------- This is where you play Catherine's Story Mode with your hostess, Trisha! There are 9 total stages and each stage has floors totaling up to 27 puzzles. There are also 8 different endings to the game based on the decisions you make in confession, text message, etc. You will unlock several unmissable achievements as you progress through the story and one for each time you beat a Nightmare stage. During the day you also have the freedom of helping patrons at the Stray Sheep in need when you're aren't climbing blocks for your life. Upon completing the Golden Theater you will unlock "Welcome to Colosseum". The following achievements can only be unlocked in Golden Playhouse mode: -Push It to the Limit! -Have An Ice Day -Bomberlamb -I Can Fly -What Time Is It? -Babel Call -3 Star Man -5 Star Man -Take Goods -Golden Child Nightmare Stages ---------------- Here are the more difficult portions of the game. This is where you play the block stepping puzzle game where you pull, push, and climb blocks to avoid death. Between some stages are Landings where you can SAVE your game and chat with other deranged sheep who can offer helpful techniques to improve your climbing skills. There is also a merchant that offers helpful items at each Landing. You will have to collect all enigma coins and finish each stage very quickly on high difficulties in order to net all the achievements for this game! There are three different prizes you can win after each stage: Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Gold is usually only possible if you never break your chain and collect all the enigma coins. If you ever get stuck on a certain stage, see the respective achievement for it below for help. For more information on how scoring works see the link below. http://catherinethegame.wikia.com/wiki/Scoring Phone Mail ---------- Throughout the game at the Stray Sheep, Vincent can receive numerous text messages and phone calls from Catherine, Katherine, Trisha, and others. Some of these have no effect and are purely informational, while others impact the karma meter and can have a large effect towards Law or Chaos. Text messages usually come after you hold multiple conversations with customers at the Stray Sheep, try speaking to them all twice to get text messages faster. To answer or pull up your phone at anytime while at the Stray Sheep, press Y. You will earn "Text Junkie" once you send 20 text messages so make sure you vary your replies because there a prerequisites for getting certain text messages. Other features of your cell include saving your game, replaying stages and notifications on your latest accomplishments. To replay a stage bring up your phone and go to AWARDS. From here you can retry previously completed stages for the gold prizes. To save your game, go to DIARY. Babel ----- This is an unlockable game mode you receive once you get enough gold prizes throughout Story mode. In Babel there are 4 different towers to climb with blocks dropping in a completely random pattern which makes this portion of the game's achievements extremely difficult. You unlock more Babel stages when you collect gold prizes for Nightmare stages in Golden Playhouse, there are a total of four unlockable Babel Stages in all. Getting your first gold prize will unlock "Babel's Calling" along with the Altar stage. Obtaining three gold prizes in Golden Playhouse unlocks "3-Star Man" and the Menhir stage. Achieving five gold prizes unlocks "5-Star Man" along with the Obelisk stage". And nine gold prizes will unlock "Taking On The Gods" as well as the Axis Mundi stage. You must go on to conquer Axis Mundi for "A God is Born!". Completing each of the four stages in Babel will earn you an achievement each. All Babel related achievements are: -Altar Conquered! -Menhir Conquered! -Obelisk Conquered! -A God Is Born! Rapunzel -------- Rapunzel is the retro in-game arcade machine in the Stray Sheep which mimics the gameplay of Catherine itself. There are 128 levels in total (64 levels in each mode), and you are allowed to play 3 times per night. Once you finish the game, 'Free Play' unlocks on all your save files, and you can play for unlimited time. Rapunzel progress is also saved independently from your save games, so it carries on between games. Rapunzel differs from the main gameplay in that there is no time limit to complete the stages, but you are limited in the amount of moves you can make, making it more strategy-based than the Nightmare levels. There are three achievements related to beating the first 64 stages, unlocking the Extra stages, and fully completing all 128 stages and finding all the hidden items. The stages can be tricky and tedious so you may get stuck at some points, see HERE for assistance with all 128 levels. Endings ------- There are 8 different endings to Catherine, based on many choices you make during the course of of the game, and some hefty ones at the end of it. Endings are based on where your karma meter stands by the end of the game. Each ending completed will unlock 1 achievement. Completing all of them unlocks "Dreams Come True". Once you've completed the game and start a new one, you are allowed to skip any puzzle sections that you received a gold prize on, allowing you to quickly obtain all endings. Although there are 8 endings total, it should only take 3 playthroughs to get them all. During Stage 9, you are asked four different questions. The answer to the first question doesn't affect anything. The answers to question 2 and 3 influence what question 4 is, and all the questions together (along with your karma meter) change what ending you get. It is possible to get 3 endings per playthrough by making a save after stage 9-1, however you will have to replay the stages and face Thomas Mutton again. Prioritize your playthroughs and follow either Law, Chaos, or Neutral 100% all the way to get all the endings for each run. For help with Endings and how to get them see Link Below. http://catherinethegame.wikia.com/wiki/Endings For a list of all confessional questions and answers see Link Below http://catherinethegame.wikia.com/wiki/Confessionals Note: Some endings such as Catherine's True, require you to have 100% Chaos in order to unlock. Be mindful of this as if you don't you will get other Chaos endings. It would be best to simply focus on "Law" and "Chaos" only playthroughs to prevent this from occurring with other endings you attempt. Miscellaneous/Mop up -------------------- By now you should have nearly all the achievements for Catherine, if not, then now is the time to run back through Story mode and grab all the one's you missed. During the day take some time to explore the Stray Sheep and speak to patrons, they may need your help. There are five total bar patrons that need your encouragement but some only appear on certain days. Helping all five by the 8th Day will unlock "Everyday Hero". Also be sure to visit the Jukebox and cycle through some songs if you haven't already. Check and make sure you have heard every factoid for all alcoholic beverages. Simply order each drink once a day(and sip it three times) to get all the factoids but remember the achievement won't unlock until the 8th day. Don't forget on Day 5 to stay at the bar and wait for everyone to leave as well. Here are all the miscellaneous achievements that you may have missed: -Read All About It! -New Look -Mother Inferior -Love Is Patient, Love Is Kind -One Last Case -Everyday Hero -You Don't Have to Go Home... -Sake Sensei -Beer Baron -Cocktail Connoisseur -Whiskey Wiseman Conclusion ---------- Catherine is no doubt one of the most bizarre and enigmatic retail games to hit the Xbox 360 in quite some time. It's definitely a very unique game with a compelling story that can't be missed! Most achievements can be gained in a minimum of 3 playthroughs and the Rapunzel game can be beat simply by following a video guide. Having said that this is not an easy game to 1000 . Catherine takes practice, experience, and mastery of all climbing techniques to prevail. The puzzles become absolutely insane on Hard difficulty but don't get discouraged, the more you play the better you get, remember that. If you can get passed Hard then the random block dropping Babel stages await you. Please use the videos and strategies presented in this guide to help climb your way to "A God Is Born!" and "The Golden Child". With enough experience and the proper techniques given in the game, you can survive. Now get out there and keep climbing those blocks because "Now's not the time to be dead!" III.

Play It Again, Vince... - Use the jukebox to change the music. 5G - This achievement can be unlocked by operating the jukebox at the Stray Sheep and changing the background music to another available song.

There are 25 text messages you can reply to in any given playthrough. You mysteriously lose some of your texts later in the game but it should not affect the achievement. Depending on how you respond to some texts, you may or may not get replies which leads to fewer texts per playthrough making this achievement easily missable. That's why it's important to stick around the Stray Sheep until you get some because leaving too early will cause to miss them. Chatting with patrons and friends twice(until the pink talk box goes gray) seems to initiate some text messages. This will unlock once you leave the Stray Sheep on the 8th Day if you have sent 20 or more text messages.

When playing any Nightmare stage, there will be a number of opportunities to push more than one block at a time. Make sure there there are five blocks in a row, and push them all at once to unlock the achievement. Best area to do this so far is at the start of Stage 4-2 where the baby chases you. To the right at your level are 4 blocks already lined up side by side. Now pull out any block stacked to the left of your screen and push it next to the set of 4 blocks making it 5. Now push the 5 set of blocks for the achievement. Difficulty settings needed for this method may vary. M. Have an Ice Day - Slide an Ice Block 5 or more blocks.(Golden Playhouse) 10G - This achievement is only available while playing Golden Playhouse mode. If the description confuses you it simply means you must push an ice block and have it slide over 5 other blocks that are below it. Any of the Stage 5 areas are good, but there's a nice spot on 5-2 where it's already set-up for you from the start. All you have to do is pull it out once then another time to the right, now shimmy over to the left side of it and push it to the right for the achievement. Difficulty settings needed for this method may vary. N. Bomberlamb - Hit 15 blocks with a single explosion.(Golden Playhouse) 20G - This achievement is only available while playing Golden Playhouse mode. The best area to go for this would be Stage 6-2. Pick up the white block power up a few rows above where you start and place it below and in front of the high glowing bomb block in the middle of your spawn. Then pull the bomb block out, ignite it and pull as many other blocks as you can into the bomb radius before it explodes. This should unlock if you blow up enough blocks. Retry if it doesn't until you get it. Difficulty settings needed for this method may vary. O. I Can Fly! - Jump on a Spring Block 3 times in a row.(Golden Playhouse) 30G - This achievement is only available while playing Golden Playhouse mode. You must jump on a spring block 3 times or on 3 different spring blocks in succession, it doesn't matter. The earliest place when this first becomes available is at Quadrangle Stage 5-1. Earlier in the stage there will be blocks that bounce you high into the air, jump on one 3 times to get this to pop. It doesn't have to be the same one, just bounce on three different springs in rapid enough succession until this pops. Make sure Vincent doesn't grab on to a ledge on his third jump or else this may not unlock. Difficulty settings needed for this method may vary. P. Take Your Time - Move a Dark Block 10 times in a row.(Golden Playhouse) 30G - This achievement is only available while playing Golden Playhouse mode. There are a multitude of opportunities to move a dark block but an especially easy area would be at the Quadrangle Stage 5-2. At the very beginning once you take a step up once there will be 2 dark blocks side by side. Safely make your way up there and pull out the one on the left. Now simply push and pull it until the achievement pops. Difficulty settings needed for this method may vary. Q.

Each day, make sure to drink Sake at least 3 times. On Day 8, you will unlock the achievement.

Altar Conquered! - Complete Stage 1 of Babel. 10G - This achievement is unlocked through the Babel gameplay mode, by completing the first stage: Altar.

AT.Taking on the Gods - Unlock Axis Mundi by earning all Gold Prizes on Normal or Hard. 30G - This achievement is only available while playing Golden Playhouse mode on Normal or Hard difficulty. It will unlock if you obtain all 9 Gold Prizes on each Nightmare stage be it on Normal or Hard. Best to do it on Normal for this one to get you ready for "The Golden Child". In order to get a gold prize for a stage you must get a gold trophy on every floor of that stage. Some stages only have one floor so those are easier but some stages have up to 6 floors like Stage 9. To get the gold prize you basically have to: -Never lose your Step Chain(multiplier) -Collect all Enigma coins -Don't use any checkpoints, start from beginning to finish Normal difficulty isn't too bad. You are permitted to undo any mistakes by pressing the Back Button and interestingly, you can press it to get your chain back up if you're about to lose it! Use your terrain to your advantage and techniques given to you at the Landings to finish the stages in a timely manner. You can replay stages from you cell phone by going to AWARDS. If you are ever stuck on a puzzle at some point there's a video walkthrough you can replicate by the Link Below. Good Luck! http://catherinethegame.wikia.com/wiki/Walkthrough:Overview AU.A God is Born! - Conquer the final stage of Babel. 100G - This achievement is unlocked through the Babel gameplay mode, by completing the fourth stage: Axis Mundi. Babel's block placement is completely randomized, making strategies very difficult to create. This is absolutely the most outrageously difficult puzzle in the game. Every form of block in the game is present here, but Vortex Blocks are the main threat. The blocks are often arranged in highly complex patterns, making it easy to collapse most of the tower just by moving the wrong block at the wrong time. Extensive mastery of the "Edge" mechanic is a necessity if you are to reach 300 steps. If you somehow manage to do this not only will you unlock this achievement but also a special video from Trisha! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4IZBPGoSFQ&feature=player_embedded AV.The Golden Child - Earn Gold Prizes on all Hard difficulty stages. 100G - This achievement is only available while playing Golden Playhouse mode on Hard difficulty. It will unlock if you obtain all 9 Gold Prizes on all of the 9 Nightmare stages. In order to get a gold prize for a stage you must get the gold trophy for every floor of that Stage. This is the hardest achievement in the game(outside of Babel) because the puzzles now give you: -Less Time -Different Block layout than before -You'll need to use more advanced techniques a lot earlier compared to Normal difficulty. -Bonus Point has no multiplier, meaning you need to work fast and get all Enigma coins to keep your Gold Rank Score constant until you beat the whole stage. To help prepare yourself, save this achievement for last to get yourself some experience with the game. To get a gold prize you pretty much have to: -Never lose your Step Chain(multiplier) -Collect all Enigma Coins -Never use checkpoints, start from beginning to finish Be sure to study each puzzle closely and find the quickest way to the top, you'll need wits and quick thinking for this. Remember, these puzzles can be memorized unlike the Babel Stages, they're always the same layout. Once you feel that you have the skills and techniques to complete all 9 Stages on Hard load up a save from Golden Playhouse and replay the Stages from your cell phone under AWARDS. Just be sure to switch difficulty to Hard from the pause menu before attempting if you haven't already. Be forewarned, Hard difficulty can get extremely frustrating, especially the Stage 9 levels which are absurdly hard! You can also follow the video guide located below by trying to replicate the Hard Stage runs. Good Luck! http://catherinethegame.wikia.com/wiki/Walkthrough:Overview AW.Mystery Within a Puzzle - Uncover the truth behind Rapunzel. 20G - This achievement can be unlocked after starting Extra Stage 1 when playing the Rapunzel arcade game at the Stray Sheep tavern. Extra Stage 1 is unlocked by inputting a cheat code at Rapunzel's title screen after you complete Stage 64 in Rapunzel. The code is only given to you after you have collected all 4 rosaries, and when you have completed stage 64. So if you missed any rosaries, you have to go back and get them because the code will not work before then. This will unlock the true ending, and allow you to go for the Extra 64 stages. And once again, there are 4 rosaries in the Extra stages, which will unlock the true ending. If you don't collect the rosaries, you get the bad ending for both regular and extra stages. Rapunzel stages can get incredibly deep, so you may want to visit the video guide Below if you ever get stuck on a puzzle. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5775F9FDCBD08849 Code: Up, Down, Down, Up, Up, UP, Down, Down, Down, Down, Right (at title screen) AX.Legendary Prince - Hear Rapunzel's sad song. 50G - This achievement can be unlocked by collecting all four rosaries and completing Extra Stage 64 when playing the Rapunzel arcade game at the Stray Sheep tavern. Simply finishing gives you the bad ending and no achievement, you MUST collect the four rosaries to get the achievement. You can't play any Extra Stages until you've completed the first 64 normal stages and collected all the rosaries, see "Mystery Within a Puzzle" for more info. There is a code you must enter at the main menu of Rapunzel before staring the next 64 stages listed below. Code: Up, Down, Down, Up, Up, UP, Down, Down, Down, Down, Right (at title screen) The Extra Stages are some of the more intricate puzzles, so use the video guide Below if you ever get stumped. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5775F9FDCBD08849 Note: The rosaries are located in Stage 52, 56, 60, and 64 in both Normal and Extra mode - in Extra Mode you must first collect a Magic Lamp item to make the rosary appear. You must have all four when you finish stage 64 to get the 'True Ending' for both modes - which means you must complete stage 52 through 64 in succession if you wish to get these achievements before completing the main game. Collected rosaries WILL NOT save between sessions - you MUST complete stages 52, 56, 60, and 64 in one sitting to view the "True" ending and unlock the achievements. IV.
