How to unlock the Don't Forget Your Towel achievement in Zero Escape: The Nonary Games - Definitive Guide
To open up the route to the true ending, you first need to trigger the 'Safe' ending by going through door number 5, then 8, then 6. After going through door number 5, complete the puzzle and then check the locked safe in one of the closets to trigger some dialogue. The correct dialogue will not be triggered as long as you haven't solved the puzzle.
On any subsequent playthrough, take door number 4, then 7, then 1. In addition, you'll need to pass four story checks. These are:
- Behind door number 4, accept the bookmark Santa offers you.
- Behind door number 4, say "It did seem rather odd" when given the option.
- Behind door number 7, when talking to Seven a prompt says "Do you...". Pick "know about ICE-9?".
- Behind door number 7, give Clover the 4-leaf clover bookmark when given the option.
If you have not unlocked the 'Safe' ending yet, you'll see the rather abrupt 'Coffin' ending. If you have unlocked the 'Safe' ending before, the game continues and you'll reach the 'True' ending.
If this is not your first play-through, you can speed up previously seen cutscenes by pressing cn_X until it says ‘skip’ in the bottom right corner. If you have not seen that particular cutscene before, pressing cn_X will only cycle between ‘stop’ and ‘auto’. The 'skip' mode will stop when player input is required (for dialogue options or choosing doors).
This trophy is tied only to the True Ending of 999. Contrary to what the description implies, you do not need to unlock all of the game endings for this trophy (but you will have to for the platinum). To access the True Ending of 999, you must first have cleared the Safe Ending (see Chance of Loss is Not Zero). Now during your playthrough for the True Ending, you must choose the following dialogue options:
Door 4 – Second Class Cabin (Room 93): Santa will offer you a bookmark. Choose "Take it".
Door 4 – Kitchen (Freezer): Santa will talk about dry ice. Choose "It did seem rather odd".
Door 7 – Operating Room (Chemical Closet): Seven will give you a bottle of EDT and talk for a bit. Answer "...know about ice-9?"
Door 7 - Operating Room (leaving): Clover will linger. Choose "...Gave her the 4-leaf clover".
Once you've done all the above things, you will be locked into the True Ending of the game. See Is That Your Final Answer? for the final puzzle of the True Ending.
