Raise Your Pet Right (or Wrong)

How to Get All Skills in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair

One of the new additions in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is the Pet you’ll take care of that lives inside your e-handbook. By taking steps and walking around the islands rather than fast traveling, players will evolve their pet. However, how you raise your pet will ultimately have an effect on the kind of pet you get. If you shower it with gifts and clean up its poop as soon as it appears, you’ll raise your pet’s Hope level. Leave it to wallow in its own filth and basically abandon it, and its Despair level will soar.

In order to get the Tranquility skill, you’ll need to get Monokuma as your pet. He needs a Hope level of nine or 10, and a Despair level between six and nine. Once you’ve got Monokuma the skill will unlock. Tranquility completely steadies your aim and is effective during the Nonstop Debate and the Hangman’s Gambit. But do note, it cannot be combined with Calm and Composed.

To get the Menacing Focus skill, you’ll need to get Monomi as your pet. The kinder cuddly creature in Danganronpa 1.2 Reload needs the same nine or 10 Hope level as Monokuma, but a far lower Despair level of anywhere between nothing to five. Menacing Focus greatly increases your Focus Gauge and is effective during the entirety of Class Trials. It cannot be combined with Extraordinary Focus.

Student Report Cards

Once you’ve collected all of the Hope Fragments from one character in Free Time, you’ll notice the star-shaped icon next to their name will be completely filled and colored gold.
