Dies irae Walkthrough (Light)

This is a walkthrough for the Steam edition of Dies irae, a visual novel by Light. Arguably one of the biggest titles in the genre. In Dies irae, there are 4 main routes for you explore (Kasumi, Kei, Marie, and Rea), but there’s plenty of story to go for a long time. Do note that this walkthrough assumes you have the Act I and Act II DLCs installed.

The guide itself is based of this original Japanese walkthrough by seiya saiga, but was adjusted to match the English translation instead. It uses 4 save slots. You’ll also have all CGs after finishing all of the routes below.

Notes

You can opt to choose for the specific character route right from the title screen, but I recommend playing through the game the normal way. The route order below is also the recommend order to play in.
