Unlocking Achievements in Onhold A Shot in the Dark

Let me tell you, my first run of Onhold A Shot in the Dark was a certified disaster. 🚂 I somehow managed to offend Mai, bore Sara into oblivion, and got Natalie to look at me like I’d just suggested hiking in flip-flops. I was fumbling in the dark, literally!

This chapter is all about lighting the path to those elusive scenes and trophies. We’re going deep on the exact choices for the most talked-about moments. Get ready to level up your game!

How to Get the Best Dates with Mai and Sara?

Alright, let’s talk dates. My first attempt with Mai was a masterclass in how to earn the ‘Worst First Date EVER!’ achievement (which, by the way, is tragically easy to get). I was too eager, chose all the cheesy lines, and basically came on like a cringe hurricane. ☔ Don’t be like past me.

To successfully get the ‘Went on Mai Date’ achievement and build a real connection, you need to be confident but not arrogant, playful but not childish. When you’re at the café, take her hand when the option appears. It’s a simple, tender choice that shows interest without being over the top. The key with Mai is genuine, calm charm.

Now, for the legendary Sara sexy sleepover path. Sara is all about ambition and shared interests. On your date, you need to align with her driven mindset. Here’s the exact sequence that worked for me:
1. When discussing the future, choose the option related to goals and ambition.
2. Talk about hobbies next, showing you have a life outside of just chasing her.
3. For the final topic, pick movies. This creates a perfect blend of serious and casual.
4. When you’re back at her place and she asks about staying over, you must choose “Sexy Sleepover.” This is the non-negotiable key to her path.
5. Crucial Step: When she later asks if something is messed up, you must deny it. Choosing “Yeah, it’s messed up” will shut down the romance immediately. Denying it shows you’re on the same adventurous wavelength.

This path is your gateway to some of the game’s most intimate moments, including the much-searched how to unlock blowjob scene Onhold. It naturally occurs later on Sara’s path if you continue to make supportive, confident choices that reinforce your connection. It’s not a single magic button, but the culmination of following her sexy sleepover path correctly.

Mastering Delia’s Alternative Therapy Path

Delia’s route is one of the most intriguing and layered in the game. It’s less about traditional romance and more about unlocking a very specific, and very adult, set of Delia alternative therapy choices. This is where the game truly lives up to its “thrilling adult adventure” tag.

To begin, you absolutely must accept her initial offer for alternative therapy. Hesitation or refusal ends this path before it begins. During your sessions, you’ll be presented with various therapeutic options. You need to go through with them, showing trust. This builds the unique rapport required. The pivotal moment comes when she presents a more intimate, sensual option (you’ll know it when you see it). Choosing this leads to the ‘Mission 007’ achievement, a playful nod to the secret agent vibe of your encounters.

The choices here are deliberate and sequential. To help visualize the critical chain, here’s a quick guide to the key achievement triggers:

• Delia’s ‘Mission 007’: Accept her offer > Participate fully in sessions > Choose the intimate therapy option.
• Sara’s ‘A Night to Remember’: Goals > Hobbies > Movies > Choose “Sexy Sleepover” > Deny things are messed up.
• Natalie’s ‘Cheek to Cheek’: Agree to the hike > Hold her hand > Choose to kiss her.
• Mai’s ‘Went on Mai Date’: Be calmly confident at the café > Take her hand when prompted.
• General ‘Unharmed Reel’: Throughout the game, in any tense or physical scenes, avoid aggressive or violent dialogue choices. Choose peaceful de-escalation.

What Are the Hike Choices with Natalie?

Natalie’s route is for the romantics. It’s sweet, builds slowly, and leads to one of the most heartwarming achievements: ‘Cheek to Cheek’. The foundation for this is the Natalie hike hold hand achievement.

You must agree to go on the hike with her. Once you’re on the trail, the game will present a quiet moment. You have to choose to hold her hand. This isn’t just a flirty option; it’s the critical choice that shifts your relationship from friends to potential partners. Missing this means Natalie will forever see you as just a buddy.

After successfully holding hands, you’ll get another option later to kiss her. Take it! This sequence—hike, hold hands, kiss—is the golden ticket. It locks in her romantic path and sets you up for the tender ‘Cheek to Cheek’ achievement, which I unlocked in a late-night gaming session that left me with a stupid grin on my face. It’s a perfectly earned moment of connection. 🌄

Remember, in other storylines with Natalie, if you’re aiming for the ‘Unharmed Reel’ achievement (which requires finishing a key scene without anyone getting hurt), you must always choose pacifist and reassuring dialogue with her. She responds to care and protection, not aggression.

Pro Tip from a Save-Scummer: The golden rule of Onhold A Shot in the Dark? SAVE OFTEN, AND IN NEW SLOTS. Before every major choice, hit that save. I have saves named “Pre-Mai Date,” “Before Delia’s Office,” and “Sara Sleepover Decision.” This lets you explore every branch of this A Shot in the Dark walkthrough without replaying hours. For instance, create a “LOAD SAVE 1” purely for experimental moments, like choosing to watch the adult film with a character or deciding whether to join a certain scene. It’s the only way to truly master all the Onhold A Shot in the Dark achievements in one playthrough!

FAQ: Quick Hits on Common Hangups

Why can’t I get Sara to go on the date at all?
You likely didn’t build enough rapport with her earlier in the story. Sara requires you to be engaged and successful in your shared work or projects. Focus on being competent and helpful in all your prior interactions with her.

I held Natalie’s hand but didn’t get a kiss option. What went wrong?
You probably made a conflicting choice earlier or afterwards. Perhaps you were flirting too heavily with another character in her presence, or you chose a dismissive dialogue option after the hike. Natalie’s path requires consistent, dedicated attention.

Do choices with one character affect my chances with another?
Absolutely. Onhold A Shot in the Dark has a dynamic relationship system. Being openly romantic with multiple characters can lead to jealousy or closed-off options. If you’re targeting a specific character’s achievements, it’s often best to focus on them during a dedicated playthrough.

There you have it—your roadmap to conquering ‘Onhold A Shot in the Dark,’ from Delia’s steamy therapy to Sara’s wild sleepover and every achievement in between. I wasted hours on bad choices early on, but following these paths turned frustrating restarts into triumphant unlocks and endless replay value.
