Alternate Scene guidance
Hello this is actually my first ever post on steam but i went through a lot of trouble to figure out how the new system in elite worked so i wanted to post it her to make it easier for other people

ALSO SPOILERS BELOW

For starters what i write in this post is referring to the game's alternate scenes and no i am not referring to the endings for each girl. Rather i am referring to those scenes from the original games that occurred from actions taken in regards to the phone.

For example in the original game when Okabe is eating at Sanbo he gets a call from Mayuri if he and by he i mean the player answers the Faris cup event occurs if the player instead advances the text without taking the phone out and answering an alternate event will occur instead involving meeting Moeka.
In elite however this is changed so okabe automatically answers the phone or doesnt without player input though im sure the majority see him answer the phone due to the mechanic involved.

At first glance it would appear these alternate scenes such as the above and Mayuri jellyman scene are removed but in reality they are still present but to get them you need to do something different from before.

I wont beat around the bush the only input the player has is answering text messages hence that is the key to the alternate scenes and before you start to feel stressed about needing to be careful of every answer and reply please relax its actually a very simple system.

But before that allow me to clarify that the alternate scenes i am talking about only apply to this text based system across chapters 2-6 afterwards remaining alternate scenes depend on whose route you are following.

Now first and foremost i should tell you that not every single text affects these scenes, a common misconception i found on reddit and here is that you have to ONLY answer Mayuri's texts or answer them in a particular way i am afraid this is incorrect as i have tested several times.

Make no mistake Mayuri's texts are how you can see the extra scenes but choosing to answer or not answer other texts Kurisu's included will not affect the alternate scenes, my proof is that i was able to get the jellyman scene and the deja vu tip while answering every text and on both a kurisu and mayuri route.

im sorry im going on quite a lot. I will now list the scenes requirements and such namely the main key requirement is THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOU REPLY TO MAYURI not the number of texts you get or whether you answer anyone else's but simply the NUMBER OF TIMES you reply.

The reason this has caused different results for different people is because Mayuri's text chains can end earlier with certain replies namely in chapters 2 and 4.

Now without further ado let me list down the alternate scenes and their requirements sorry for my excessive babbling

Chapter 2:

Kurisu and Moeka scene
Very minor alternate scene but basically if you had replied to 2 of Mayuri's emails then Okabe will read Moeka's texts in front of Kurisu and annoy her if you only reply to 1 or less then he will ignore Moeka's texts and Kurisu praises him for good manners.

Mayuri phone call -> Faris cup or Moeka encounter
For this one to get Okabe to answer the phone and go to the Faris cup Okabe must have replied to 2 of Mayuri's emails which you would easily do in chapter 1 as all mail chains end after 2 replies hence why many people will miss the Moeka scene.
The is also one other slight alternate scene here after Moeka's encounter if you had replied to only 1 (not 2 as that would cause the faris cup event instead) of Mayuri's emails Okabe will call Mayuri if you have replied to 0 Mayuri texts then he will text her instead.

Chapter 3:
Only 2 minor alternate scenes the conditions to see both are the same as in chapter 2 to see one version reply to 2+ Mayuri texts and to see the other version Reply to 1 or none of them.

These scenes are whether Okabe looks at Moeka's texts when she comes to the lab in the morning or he chooses to ignore them out of annoyance

The other alternate scenes are whether while waiting for John titor's message Okabe gets and answers a phone call from Daru or ignores it and talks to Kurisu about Reading Steiner.

Chapter 6:
This one im sure many people are having problems with the Deja Vu and Jellyman Mayuri scenes. Most people have gotten the non deja vu version where Okabe immediately realizes his time leap was not a dream however this causes a missed TIP (deja vu) the alternate scene shows him rejecting the notion of his time leap and repeating the day normally until the attack.
and gives the TIP.
The method to trigger the Deja vu and Jellyman Mayuri is simply to reply to 9 of Mayuri's texts throughout the game until this point that is all, you do not need to give particular answers or not reply to other texts you just need to ensure your total number of replies=9
(I have listed the Mayuri text pathways at the bottom of this post)

In addition to this there are 3 more alternate scenes which you can possibly see. These were originally 4 possible scenes depending on which lab mem okabe would call, however the first of these events, Suzuha mentioning Okabe 2025 has been streamlined and will occur regardless and is no longer an alternate or optional scene.
From the remaining 3 there are 2 factors that play into which one occurs

Firstly the Kurisu scene ONLY occurs in the Kurisu route so it will not happen if you are on the Mayuri route and as a result on the Kurisu route you can ONLY see this scene.
Second the Mayuri scene will only occur if you have replied to 9+ texts from Mayuri from chapters 1-5 so in short if you got Deja Vu and Jellyman Mayuri scene and are not on the Kurisu route the Mayuri scene will happen.
Lastly the Daru scene will occur if you had replied to 6-8 of the Mayuri texts from chapter 1-5, in short if you just come short of the Deja vu scene you can see this scene assuming you arent on the Kurisu route.

Also if you have replied to less than 6 of the Mayuri texts you will not get ANY of the above 3 scenes.

Thats all of them and again i reiterate the key is just answering Mayur's texts you can reply to other texts without effecting the alternate scenes.
Also there are more alternate scenes from chapter 7 to 10 and even more in chapter 4-6 but these are properly locked into either the Mayuri or Kurisu routes.

In short here is my guideline to see all alternate scenes in your first playthrough answer all of Mayuri's texts there use the below guideline to ensure you get 9+ replies.

Chapter 1: All text chains end after 2 replies (unless the texts are ignored) (2 replies)
Chapter 2: Money->Festival->rattasnak(might be mispelled)->END (3 replies)
Money->Junk->END (2 replies)
Food->healthy->raw meat->raw meat->END (4 replies)
Chapter 3: Text chain ends after 1st reply unless ignored. (1 reply)
Chapter 4:Magazine->Crunchy-kun->Kakeru-kun->END (3 replies)
Gunbam->talk (2 replies)
Gunbam->joy san (2 replies)
Voice actor->feel (2 replies)
Voice acotr-> (i forgot the word here) (2 replies)
Chapter 5 (mayuri route only): 1 new text with only 1 reply possible regardless of response

In your second playthrough feel free to ignore JUST mayuri's texts (and make sure to answer Kurisu's the correct way to get on kurisu route/true end route) and this way you can see all the alternates scenes you missed in the first.

I hope this helped someone sorry if it was too long or went on too many tangents

You should post this as a Steam Guide for the game.

This really SHOULD be a guide. If the OP isn't going to do it, someone should just copy the whole thing (maybe edit it a bit for clarity) and post it for him. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I didn't get the Deja Vu tip and only after a reddit post suggested responding with the last response to every Mayuri email did I get it.
