Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- (also known as Tsukihime Remake) includes a common route that splits into two routes. These lead to three story endings and 21 ‘Dead Ends’ or bad endings. Certain endings are locked behind requirements.
This guide and walkthrough will tell you about the choices to access the various routes and endings.
If you’ve not yet purchased Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-/Tsukihime Remake, you may wish to first check out our review.
Tsukihime Remake Routes
Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- contains the routes for Arcueid Brunestud and Ciel, known as the Near Side routes. The Far Side routes for the other characters that were in the original Tsukihime will be found in Tsukihime -The other side of red garden-, along with a route for Satsuki Yumizuka.
Routes and Structure
Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- has a lot of choices throughout. Some of these are important, some affect which scenes you will see later on but not the overall progression, and some only affect immediate dialogue.
The play order is fixed. You must first complete Arcueid’s route, then Ciel’s normal ending, then Ciel’s extra ending.
Achievements and Trophies
You do not need to see all scene variations for all trophies. You just need to see all of the endings. This includes all dead ends and the ‘Teach Me, Miss Ciel’ segments after these.
After you complete everything else, a final Teach Me, Miss Ciel will appear which is required for the achievement. You can access this by going to the Gallery, then to the Ending List, then choosing the icon in the bottom-right corner.
Walkthrough Notes
If you follow these walkthroughs exactly, you shouldn’t encounter any problems. However, if you have made other choices, you may find some options grayed out due to not meeting requirements.
If you want to see scenes not listed as options in the guide, you can choose the other choices and then use the Flowchart to go back.
Dead End Guide
To see the Dead Ends, please choose the options highlighted in red. Otherwise, ignore these. We do recommend viewing the Dead Ends as several of them offer insights into the story that are not mentioned elsewhere.
