Bad Relationship Ending Guide (Mystic Messenger)

tHere it is!! Finally!!! The completed, guaranteed BRE guide for all routes! Hurraaay! If there is anything missing or you have corrections, please let me know!

Also, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT REPOST THIS ON TUMBLR (reblogs are okay!). If you want to share this on another site, that’s fine, but PLEASE provide credit and a link back to my blog. I worked hard to put this together, and spent countless hours gathering and compiling this information. Please respect that. Thank you! <3

I’m going to leave it under the cut to save a dash and for people who want to figure it out on their own :)

The only thing I want to put out there before we get started is for maximum enjoyment I do not recommend trying to get BRE on your first playthrough by loading saves you made during good route. To clarify, I mean saving at the appropriate branches as you play good route, then going back and loading those saves to try to get BRE, like you might for Bad Story End. This is because BRE forces you to play basically as little as possible, so you would have to severely limit the number of chats you can participate in while you play good route. Not exactly fun, imo.

Note: Not all BRE VNs are fully voiced! So if you open up a VN after the branch and it’s not voiced, don’t panic. Just keep playing and the voices should kick in partway through. Some BREs also have chats. Your BRE may not come immediately after the branch. Be patient and keep playing. (See end of guide for times and chatroom titles. If those chats come up, it means you succeeded in getting BRE.)

Casual Story functions differently from Deep Story, and then Jumin’s route functions differently from Seven’s. Yeah, I dunno. That’s just the way it seems to be.

Casual Story

BRE1 occurs after the Day 7 branch (Day 6, if Jaehee). BRE2 occurs after the branch on Day 10.

Achieving BRE1 is a combination of failing the minimum heart requirement and participation. The goal here to progress while acquiring the minimum in order to pass each story branch in order to successfully guarantee BRE.

Minimum Hearts: Common Route ...Day 4 - 50 Hearts Character Route Day 7 ...Zen - 170 ...Yoosung - 130 ...Jaehee - 110 (Day 6)

Tip: In Casual Story, BRE1 can be achieved by having less than 50% participation on Days 5 & 6. Participation is not cumulative. Having 100% on Day 5, but 0% on Day 6 will not let you pass the Day 7 branch. VNs with choices do not count towards participation.

Strategy: If you plan on playing common route to get hearts for all three characters so you can just reload a save on Day 3 or Day 4, you will want something closer to 70-75% participation per day during common route if you’re not going to keep a tally.

If playing common route for one character at a time, aim for ~50-60% participation per day to pass Day 4.

Play Day 5 with ~50-60% participation.

Save at the end of Day 5.

Stop playing until the game branches again. Get BRE1.

Load your Day 5 save. Play Day 6 with 50-60% participation.

On Day 7, play Zen for ~50%. For Yoosung 30-40% is fine (he branches earlier).

After you pass the Day 7 branch (Day 6 if Jaehee), stop playing. The game has two more branches left.

On Day 10 - the last branch - you should get BRE2.

Tip: Always check your backup save! You may get lucky and be able to load your Day 5 file for free :)

Deep Story

This time around, participation is irrelevant to passing Day 7 and it is much easier to get hearts for 707 and Jumin during common route, so you need to be sure you don’t have too many hearts if you want BRE1!

***Participation values for Deep Story are estimates. The number of hearts you can get per day vary wildly depending on which chats you happen to participate in. The only true way to guarantee you will get BRE1 is to tally your hearts to make sure you fail the minimum heart requirement.

Minimum Hearts: Common Route ...Day 4 - 80 Hearts Character Route Day 7 ...Jumin -130 ...707 - 150

Strategy: If playing both at the same time to reload on Day 3/4, depending on which chats you participate in, you might be able to get away with 50-60% participation each day in common route. But as long as you go no higher than ~76%, you should be fine.

If playing normally, I would go no higher than 60% a day.

After passing the branch on Day 4, save.

Stop playing until you get BRE1. 

Tip: Because participation is not a factor in Day 7 branch, it is possible, and quite easy, to collect too many hearts on Day 5 and accidentally miss BRE1. So it is advised you skip Days 5-7 entirely. If you are keeping a tally, just make sure you don’t go over over the minimums.

Load your Day 4 save.

...Jumin: Play up to 55% on Days 5-6. (I've also passed and got BRE2 w/ only 26 | 26 | 9, /shrug)

For Jumin’s VNs: choose Bad End answers.

...707: Reach 150+ hearts with 0% participation on either Day 5 or Day 6. A combined participation score of 70-80% between the two days you do play should net you enough hearts to pass Day 7.

For 707′s VNs: you absolutely must choose Good End answers or you will not get BRE2. **Thank you to @unluckysatellite for correcting me and confirming this with me~!

Pass the branch on Day 7. Stop participating in chats. VNs are mandatory, but do not count towards participation.

After the branch on Day 10, you should get BRE2.

BRE Chats

Aka, how you know you got it right when if the BRE VN doesn’t come right after the branch.

ZEN BRE1 22:22 - Nervous Jumin

Yoosung BRE1 17:00 - The life of a cherryboy

Jaehee BRE2 17:30 - Suspicious feeling

Jumin BRE1 07:07 - Anxiety
