Recommended Route Order
The following order is highly recommended for the best possible experience:
1. Over Sky End (Common Route)
2. Dark Sky End
3. Deep Sky End
4. Dream Sky End / Another Sky End (interchangeable, either can be played first with no consequence)
5. Real Sky End
6. Silent Sky End (True Ending)

Note that for your first playthrough, you are locked onto Common Route no matter what delusions you choose through the Delusional Trigger system. On subsequent playthroughs, you will need to select specific delusions to access routes. We outline which delusions should be chosen in which order below.
Over Sky End
This is the Common Route ending. Aside from one bad ending in Chapter 4, you're locked onto this route on your first playthrough. You are free to select any delusions that you wish to see on this playthrough.

Do your best to complete the prompts at the clubroom's map correctly, but be especially careful not to make a mistake on Chapter 4's prompt—answering incorrectly twice on that prompt will lead you to a bad ending that is better experienced after finishing the Common Route.

You need to complete this ending in order to be able to access any other routes, as well as the True Ending. If you want to re-read Common Route after your first playthrough, do not select any positive delusions throughout the story after starting a new game.
Dark Sky End
To reach it, select all positive and additional delusions from a new game, including the ones on the route itself. This route will begin after the end of Chapter 6.
Deep Sky End
To reach this route, select all positive and additional delusions, except for the delusion in Chapter 3 where you're alone with Hinae preparing for the culture festival. This route will begin at the end of Chapter 6.

In order to get this route's good ending, you will need to correctly place pins in a mapping segment which is untranslated as of this guide's publication. The previously mentioned fan-improvement patch[sonome.dareno.me] fixes the untranslated map issue. We have also attached an image below which depicts where the pins should be placed.



(Thanks to ItsRigs' guide and Seiya-Saiga for the image.)
Dream Sky End / Another Sky End
These routes are interchangeable in order. Do whichever you feel like first.

To reach the Dream Sky End, you will need to select all negative delusions, except for the delusion that occurs after you leave the hospital in Chapter 5. You must choose positive at this delusion.

This route will begin after the end of Chapter 8. Choose positive on the delusion that appears before the route's title card is shown.

To complete the Dream Sky End, you will need to choose the positive delusion while at the house, and positive again at the delusion in the café.

To reach the Another Sky End, begin by completing the Dream Sky End requisites. This time, choose negative while at the house, and select positive while at the café.
Real Sky End
To reach this ending, you will need to select all the positive delusions, as well as any "additional" delusions you see with two exceptions in Chapter 3:

1. The delusion in which you are alone with Hinae in preparation for the Cultural Festival.

2. The Delusion where you're sleeping in the club room before the Cultural Festival.

The route will begin at the end of Chapter 9.
Silent Sky End (True Ending)
Upon completing all other endings, an option to begin the True Ending will be made available on the title screen.
Bad Endings
Chaos;Child contains a few bad endings, though none are required to achieve the true ending. The following sections will show you how view every bad ending.

Common Route Bad End

In Chapter 4, when you have to choose options for the map, select both of the incorrect options. Be warned that if you attempt to do this before finishing the Common Route, an incomplete version of the ending is shown.

Dark Sky Bad End:
Have all negative delusions while on this route. This ending largely the same as the main ending of the route, aside from a few missing scenes near the end.

Deep Sky Bad End:
Simply choose the wrong locations on the map.

Dream Sky Bad End:
This route has 4 bad endings.

The first is reached by choosing the negative delusion in the delusion trigger you are shown right before the chapter's title card.

The second is reached by selecting the negative delusion while at the café.

The third is reached by not choosing a delusion at the delusion choice in the café.

The fourth is reached by choosing positive before the chapter's title card, neutral at the house, and positive at the café.
Finishing Up
After all of the above has been completed, you might still be missing a few delusions and achievements.

Delusions

In Chapter 5, choose negative after leaving the hospital.

In Dark Sky End, alternate between positive and negative for each delusion on the route.

In Real Sky End, there is only one delusion choice. Be sure to try out both positive and negative.

Achievements/Trophies

There are two achievements related to the map triggers. The first is unlocked by completing every single map trigger in the Common Route without any mistakes

The second is unlocked by making ten consecutive mistakes.

There is an achievement for reading every tips. Read through them or mark them all as read to unlock the achivement.

Is this guide viable for the base version of the game or does it get thrown off like with Chaos;Head?

https://chaoschild2.fandom.com/wiki/Chaos;Child_Walkthrough Here you have every single delusion you need to go to every route

Edit: I found the link through the Beyond the Gate server, but still wondering if there is something wrong with the link in this guide.

One question, the link to the chaos;world server is not working... Did the server close or move or something like that?

@Amelia: You've probably already troubleshot this by now, but on the off chance you haven't, the only other thing I can think of is that you may have not selected every additional delusion when starting the positive delusions. Aside from that, I'm not sure: I was able to get to Hana's route using the guide fine.

And on a different note, this is a great guide! I'd disagree about which route order should be played: I think playing Hana's route before Arimura's makes for a better experience overall. Otherwise, though, this is great and has helped my progression immensely thus far!

I can't reach the Hana route. Completed the game (common route)? completed the hinae route, then started again, picked all positive except the one delusion in chapter 3 when you are with hinae, and all positive after that - after the chapter 6 the common route continues and hana's chapter doesn't start. what am I doing wrong?

Really useful guide, not sure how they expect we get these endings without a guide. Most of the desitions seem pretty arbitrary and cryptic to reach each ending.
