Introduction
Hello and Welcome! I'll keep this brief, but here I'll explain some of the notations in this guide and what it will help you achieve.
Edit: It was pointed out by user 'Chaotikku' that there was an error at week 30/31. I've now rectified this as well as cleaned up some spelling and grammar issues!

This is my first guide and it's centered around the "Divine Omen" achievement. As you progress, you can possibly unlock other achievements. The ones I know for certain are;
  • ...been crowned Queen?
  • ...transformed into a Lumen?
  • ...ordered an execution?
  • ...been blessed by the favor of cats?
  • ...discovered who killed your mother?
  • ...hired a spy?

Each epilogue panel has various pieces of flavor text depending on the way the game unfolded. I wont post the flavor text for spoilers' sake but the epilogues you unlock through this playthrough are;
  • 1. Lumen Crystal
  • 3. Wedding
  • 7. Royal Gifts
  • 15. Outcast Julianna
  • 18. Religion
  • 20. Threat of War
  • 23. Hospital
  • 24. Queen

In the most basic of terms, the way to get this achievement is by passing two specific checks. In Week 18, you need a high enough Intrigue to unlock the [Commoner Uprising] choice, and in Week 38, you need a high enough Herbs + Divination to unlock the [Heal the Sick] choice. It's also important that you have a very low commoner approval (a hidden 'stat', if you like), which explains some of the harsher actions in this playthrough.

I'll mention when you Succeed and Fail a skill test so that you can play around with your options and change things up a bit if you want to take things into your own hands, and I'll also mark when a chosen class is boosted by your mood by showing the value in bold.
I will admit that this playthrough started with me just picking subjects I liked, and it wasn't until doing a little research online I discovered I was on the right track to unlocking some things I hadn't already. Don't be afraid to deviate but remember to save often. I save every 3-4 weeks on an average playthrough, because mistakes are easily made and also because it's fun to go back and make different choices! The game gives you loads of save slots, make use of them! On that note, I think we're ready to jump in...

Check Point
Now that we're over halfway, it might be helpful to check everything is on-track. If you're not following this guide to a 'T', skip this section.

A note on your outfit. We're still currently wearing the Catsuit, but there are a few outfit unlocks in this playthrough. You can feel free to change the outift at any time since we no longer need the Intrigue bonus, but this may affect some of the skill tests later on and might not lead down the same path. Still, experiment and go wild with it!

Your Mood should currently be 'Yielding', as follows;
Angry +1, Depressed -2, Yielding -5, Lonely -4.

Thank you for thiiis. I got so much achievements in this run.
In Week 17, I saved the part where the guy is insulting Elodie, and picked the other choices first and got "A Matter of Honor" if you duel the guy, n I think "a Trial of Your Peers" when the nobles didn't vote for you.

*possible spoilers*
Thanks for the guide!!

I think you also get the achievement "No other rulers before me" for naming talarist the heir on week 26?
Sunwave 23 Feb, 2020 @ 8:35am 
I followed the guide and it works perfectly.
Another achievement I got was "A military alliance" = getting help from another country when going to war against Togami's fleet.

I followed the guide, but as Ryke says, I was too depressed by week 13 to study Court Manners. I successfully swapped it out with week 15's Herb check and brought them both up, but once again I was in a muddle when it came time to study Composure - the Queen was Lonely and couldn't progress. As a result of this I challenged an insult and lost the kingdom. Help?

This is very well done! Thx for the guide!:akaneheart:
