Monika’s Poem
Pick any words.
Continue until this scene:
Choose Monika but don’t press the skip button during the next scene at all (CTRL or Skip in hud).
Now, load the autosave 10 times. This will skip the whole phase and still grant the extra gallery picture required for an achievement later.
Alternatively, you can set up an auto-clicker to go through the dialogue, but it’s still way faster doing the auto-save load method.
Now, reach this scene:
Once there, read through the dialogue for about 30 minutes until the following achievement unlocks:
Once another dialogue shows up, click on Exit DDLC → No
Now click on Exit DDLC → Yes
Click on files → characters → monika.chr → Delete → Yes
Play DDLC
Click on New Game and finish.
After finishing, click on Files and run ‘reset.sh’.

Secrets
9/10 pictures are for random poems during Act II.
DDLC selects 3 random “special poems” to appear when it is started for the first time.
- Secret 4: Wait at the ‘STARE AT THE DOT TO REVEAL A SPECIAL MESSAGE’ screen for a few seconds until the message ‘i love you’ appears.
- Secret 10: This unusual screen somehow appeared when launching DDLC during Act 2. Keep launching and quitting back to the in-game desktop until it shows up. Can take several attempts (be patient, this scene took me around 1.5 hours of restarting).
- Unlisted Secrets: ‘Happy Thoughts’ and ‘Scrambled Monika’ are two random poems that won’t show up in Secrets, but that may still be required for completion (thanks NeoSoper).
