How to unlock the You got a better way? achievement in The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man Of Medan - Definitive Guide

I was able to get this achievement during the Solo story (AND NOT ON CURATOR'S CUT EITHER). A few things to note: (If you've played the entire game through once, just select the UNINVITED GUESTS chapter to get started on this achievement- it should save some time!)
-First, Fliss needs to successfully flirt with Conrad when controlling her for the first time. When choosing her dialogue, choose RELAXED, SELF-ASSURED, and then IMPRESSED. After that, proceed to go over to Conrad and continue the conversation. For the next set of dialogue, choose RELAXED, PLAYFUL, and then ROMANTIC.
-Second, Conrad needs to stay with the group when the pirates attack the boat. I personally recommend that you have Conrad try and escape in the speedboat and then intentionally fail the QTEs (an easy way to do this is just to let the time run out for the 1st QTE). I'd also recommend that you keep Brad hidden.
-Third, when everyone gets on the ship, you'll be controlling Conrad. Once the group is put into the room, a conversation will start. When Conrad has his dialogue, choose PUZZLED, APPROVING, and then CURIOUS. After that, choose ANXIOUS when discussing the escape route, choose to DISTRACT the pirates, and REPLACE the desk to ensure that Fliss stays with the group.
-Lastly, when the group hides from the pirates as they enter below, Fliss will notice the distributor cap. As Conrad, choose the SELF-ASSURED dialogue. The achievement should then pop!

As an add on: my co-op partner and I unlocked this early. Not sure if we did something else that affected us without knowing, but we had them both flirt successfully for the achievement, and then began following this guide and it unlocked the moment we got to part 3 and I selected Conrad answer Puzzled.

If playing solo, this can only be earned under Curator's Cut mode.

Chapter - Wreck (Playing as Conrad)
When Fliss confronts the team about calling in the wreck...
SUPPORTIVE
Once you're given control to walk around, go up to Fliss in the captain's chair and talk to her...
EMPATHETIC
PLAYFUL
PLAYFUL
After Julia has the rebreather ready and they are preparing to dive, Conrad talks to Fliss again...
CHEERY
OPTIMISTIC

Chapter - Uninvited Guests (Playing as Fliss)
Conrad comes up to offer Fliss a beer...
RELAXED
SELF-ASSURED
IMPRESSED
When given control to walk around, go up to Conrad sitting on the deck and start another conversation...
RELAXED
PLAYFUL
ROMANTIC
When the fishing boat appears...
UNEASY
WORRIED
WORRIED
After the fisherman leave...
AMUSED
After Conrad blows up the grill...
RESTRAINED

For me this is where the achievement popped, but the relationship bar was only like 98% and you do get a few more dialogue options after Alex and Julia return to the surface. So in case it doesn't pop for you yet, continue with these choices once Alex & Julia join the conversation:
RELAXED
APPROVING

I'm not sure of the exact dialogue tree options if you're playing online co-op, but basically just have Conrad & Fliss flirt with each other at all opportunities and never say anything negative (the choices should be pretty obvious whether it's a positive or negative option), and you'll probably unlock it in around the same timeframe - before everyone gets kidnapped. You might even be able to get it sooner, because in solo play when you're controlling Conrad, AI-controlled Fliss will by default resist his flirtation at first and that gives a small hit to their relationship.

Thanks a lot. This for me was one of the last unlocking, just heads, hearts, and Alex and Brad to go. Popped on restrained.

  • After the problem with the barbecue, say "it's my problem"
(Thanks to Last-_-Judgment)

At the beginning of the game, Conrad should approach Fliss, and she should not respond sharply. The choice of options will make it clear

In Curator's Cut, everything is done the same as in the video, but I got the trophy after Conrad blew up the grill, Flis put it out, then made the choice "It's my own fault" (right)

If you don’t have the Curator’s Cut DLC (they give it for pre-ordering the game, it will be free later), then you can only complete the trophy in co-op mode, with a partner.

For those who are lazy or inconvenient to watch the video, I will fully describe all the steps. Played in Curator's Cut mode.
A small note is most likely necessary so that Conrad and Fliss have all the pluses, I made a mistake on frequent tackles once, everything else was a plus and I was not given a trophy, and my final was as successful as possible. If there is at least one minus, restart the chapter if possible.

Play as Conrad
When Fliss says that everything needs to be dived according to the rules, you need to agree with her.
After the dialogue, approach Fliss and apologize for your sister ( My sister with character )
When Fliss asks about experience, say that you have it ( Left choice )
After Julia and Alex are about to jump, Conrad will approach Fliss again, you need to ask how she is doing.
And then only you and I can answer.

Play as Fliss
We agree to drink beer
When asked about money, answer that it’s a long story.
And agree to invest money in her business ( Left choice )

In your next conversation with Conrad, note that he is completely relaxed
Then you should tease Conrad about his charm
And to end the conversation with Romance , it’s worth following the immersion, but...

After meeting with the fishermen, joke that Conrad was throwing money away
And after he blows up the grill, there will be 2 choices: blame Conrad or not blame him.
Both times we “excuse” him and the trophy is yours

In the single playthrough, the trophy fell in the part where Fliss goes down to get the rammer cover, the main thing is to warn her and the Trophy is in your pocket))) before that, we conduct a conversation with her and on her behalf so that the answers are only positive, on the yacht they kiss with Conrad , well, then it’s a matter of technology)))
