Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition

This achievement is a bit of grind, I would recommend going for this once you have completed the story and unlocked Island Mode.

There are a total of 6 pets that you must raise. Every time you raise a new pet it will start as the egg, hatch into a Chibimi, and then enter a cocoon after hitting each of the necessary step requirements.

In order for your pet to pop out of the cocoon as the necessary type you need, you must increase it's hope and/or despair level. Basically, you need to give it gifts to increase it's hope level, and not clean up it's poop to increase it's despair level.

Each pet and it's necessary Hope/Despair levels are as follows:
Snakemi = 0-2 Hope, 0-5 Despair
Shitimi = 0-2 Hope, 6-9 Despair
Pigimi = 3-5 Hope, 0-9 Despair
Gorimi = 6-8 Hope, 0-9 Despair
Usami = 9-10 Hope, 0-5 Despair
Monokuma = 9-10 Hope, 6-9 Despair

To gain the required hope level, buy a bunch of mineral water from the vending machine (as it only costs 1 coin each) and gift it to your Chibimi; 1 mineral water = 1 hope level.

To gain the required despair level, do not clean up all of your Chibimi's poop UNTIL you reach the correct level. Leave some in the room so that you can level up despair, but don't let there be too much poop or you will instantly get maximum despair. Once you have reached the desired despair level, make sure to pay attention and clean up poop so the despair level does not go over, if it reaches maximum despair, your pet will die.

If you don't really understand the whole pet system in this game, this may probably come off as somewhat confusing. If there is something you don't understand please leave a comment and I will do my best to help better explain.

This is a fairly simple addition to the game, which may appear more complicated than it actually is. The pet is accessed by pressing to go the menu and selecting "Pet". It evolves through stages as you take in game steps. It tells you the required number of steps required to grow on the pet screen. It always starts as an egg, and then after some steps it evolves into a Chibimi. It's during this phase where the hope and despair meter matters. You have to raise all 6 different pets to point that they lay a new egg and leave for the achievement. To get the pet you want, check the list below and make sure that the hope and despair matches the pet you want. To raise hope, give the pet Mineral Water from your list of presents. This can be bought for only 1 coin from the vending machine. To raise despair, don't clean up the pets poo for awhile and the despair meter will fill. Of course if you want to keep the despair level at a specific number, make sure you keep on top of the cleaning and constantly clean up. Giving mineral water also reduces the despair meter by 1. Additionally, if the despair meter hits 10, the pet will die, which you don't want. Once you have reached the required steps as a Chibimi, it will go into a cocoon for a small number of steps. It will then emerge as the pet you were aiming for if you had the meters at the right levels. Now you just need to keep it alive until you reach the target steps again and it lays an egg and leaves so you can start the process again. Raising your first pet nets you:-



A few other notes; Walking seems to generate steps quicker than running. This is perfect for rubber banding the controller when you're in side scrolling mode as the area just loops around. I am in fact rubber banding through the pets as I type this. I managed to complete 2 of the pets during the main game. You could probably do more if you're not using the map to fast travel all the time, but you probably will be. That left me with 4 to do, which I did at the end of Island mode. Raising pets gets you skills, presents and money. So if you're at or nearing the 999 cap it may be worth spending some, so as not to waste any, unless you're still aiming for the 999 coin achievement. I've listed how many coins you will earn below so that you can plan accordingly.

During the course of the main game you probably already got:-



If not you will get it whilst grinding the pets, along with:-



Here are the required Hope and Despair levels for each pet:-

After raising all 6 pets you will get:-
