Purity Ending Speedrun Guide

Hello, Here is a guide I threw together for my Purity run. I took heavy inspiration from the How to be PURE guide on steam.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1554974565

All chapters: Jupp: -keep social credit above 80 -do all london wall jobs in chapter 3 -pay rent, bills, taxes -no selling drugs -no excessive bribery. You can get away with at least 2 bribes in my experience. -wear default outfit for final job at New Year's Ball (not sure if necessary) -don't buy the Swat Uniform, Rhino Head(bugged you will always be marked down for buying it, even when you didn't), or evil teddy. Galahad: -side with the resistance -IDK if you need to let him into the venue when he asks but I let him in just in case.

Chapter 1: Viklav: -disco medal from head bouncer at kings head -give to Viklav at Club Neo Lucille: -give her wine from head bouncer at Club Neo Shannon: -Step 1: Become Head Bouncer for the Cheese Chunes Festival, and claim the Reggae Record. -Step 2: Give the record to Shannon as soon as possible Chapter 2: Dave: -become day or night head bouncer at tiki bar -get ring from sewage at tiki bar -give to Dave when he asks to be let in the king's head Mylarna: -get piggy bank from kings head 2.0 -give to mylarna on sunday Shannon: -Step 1: Become Head Bouncer for the Indie Chunes Festival, and claim the Indie Record. -Step 2: Give the Indie Record to Goth Shannon as soon as possible. Smyth: -at indie chunes festival -guy in white outfit blue badge -reject him every time he asks to be let in -will ask for 10 cheeseR at your apartment -give him the 10 cheeseR you get from Ferris Chapter 3: Shannon: -Step 1: Become Head Bouncer for the Rock Fest, and claim the Rock Record. -Step 2: Give the Rock Record to Shannon Harrison: -Step 1: Let Harrison Pace into the Gammon & Angels during your shifts. -Step 2: Become Head Doorman at the "King's Head? 3.0" & obtain the Lassy Picture. -Step 3: Give the picture to Harrison

There seems to be a glitch in the ending where drugs don't affect the outcome, but accepting a single bribe makes Jupp think you bought the rhino head. (And buying the rhino head also makes him think you bought it.) I still wouldn't sell drugs though in a pure run, to keep with the spirit of it (plus there's always the chance a patch may change it). So don't buy the rhino head AND don't accept a single bribe to not get marked down there.

You get marked down for doing at least 3 optional London Wall jobs (-2 points) but get a neutral result for doing 0-2. The mandatory job counts towards becoming Head Bouncer, so you can become Head Bouncer and still only have done 2 optional jobs, thus get the non-negative result.

You can buy the Jarhead set and use it up to three times without being penalised. Jobs where the Jarhead set is required don't count towards the total, even if you're wearing it when you leave the flat. You don't need to be wearing the standard clothes for the final job; you change automatically so the Speedy set might help for speedrun purposes.

The House Party in Chapter 1 counts towards becoming Head Bouncer at the House Party in Chapter 3, making the poison quest easier.

The social credit cutoff point is 50, not 80. So you're safe to take a couple more risks if you want, not that you probably will in a pure run. But if selling drugs, it might mean you can wear the Heavenly set more rather than the Debonair set.

The Steam guide is also wrong about the fact that if you let Shannon in, even once, you can never make her happy. The only requirement is to give her all the records. I'm pretty sure you do have to give in to Tarquin's blackmail though, as refusing him and taking the social credit hit results in him accusing you of selling him drugs at the trial, even if you didn't sell any drugs.

EDIT: Money from drugs sold adds to both the drugs and bribes counters, so you can't sell any drugs or accept any bribes to get the perfect ending.

There is supposed to be a Galahad sidequest involving him asking you to train him (14/7, 21/7), then eventually you have the option of giving him the Spy Kit on 28/7. The quest is meant to be triggered after completing King's Head 3 2, but bad syntax in the resources file causes it not to trigger. Maybe this will be patched later but it's looking unlikely now.

Wanted to ask - since jupp’s feedback doesn’t actually affect the scale, i know there’s the whole “spirit of purity” idea so is it actually required for a run to be counted or nah
