Zero Time Dilemma: All Endings Speedrun
This is the current route for the All Endings speedrun of Zero Time Dilemma. Runs are required to start from a New Game, but the Fast Text option is allowed to be set to On for these runs.
Two notes about the category:
- You must obtain all seven major endings as well as the Happy and Perceptive Ends, for a total of nine endings.
- You must satisfy story locks and find codes before you use them. Thus, for example, you cannot use the helmet code until you discover it in the Reality fragment, etc.
Start: Coincide Fragment Decision: Blue
- This can be Red instead; you always win the coin toss the first time
- Payoff End (CQD End 1) Load C-Team: Coincide Fragment Decision: Red (or the opposite of what you picked before)
Load C-Team: Execution Fragment Decision: D-Team (Right of Two Options) Load Q-Team: Execution Fragment Decision: C-Team (Left) Load D-Team: Execution Fragment Decision: C-Team (Left)

- No Executions; needed to unlock all First Come, First Saved fragments Load Q-Team: Execution Decision: D-Team (Right)
- Executes D-Team; needed to unlock Q-Team: Q fragment Load C-Team: Execution Decision: Q-Team (Left)
- Executes Q-Team; needed to unlock C-Team: Ambidex fragment
The order of the next six fragments is interchangeable; they are arranged this way to put the randomness at the beginning and group the C-Team fragments together as much as possible.

The correct answer is as follows, based on who felt their tongue tingle: A: No one B: Only Akane C: Only Junpei D: NOT Carlos E: Only Carlos F: NOT Junpei G: NOT Akane H: All three
