This walkthrough will help guide players through the choices that will
affect their relationships with the women of Leaving DNA.
If you don’t see a choice under an LI’s section, or if I haven’t highlighted
an option, you can make whatever choice you want without any
consequences as to your path with that woman.
Choices to come inside a woman are not included in this guide, but I
make no promises about consequences for these choices.
The Stats
Interest – Interest points are available for all four LI’s. Interest points
are gained by doing things that make the LI’s more interested in you.
Frequently, you can do this just by doing something that shows your
interest in them, because you showing your interest in them reaffirms
their being interested in you.
Assertive – Assertive points are available in the early episodes for
Aghavni and Malena. Both of these women respect and are attracted to
assertive men. If you make choices that make you look like a doormat,
you won’t have a chance with either of them.
Trust – MC has a long history of being difficult to get close to, so you
will need to show some growth here. The women want to trust you and
they want you to trust them. So make choices that show them they are
important to you.
Respect – Respect points exist only for the very limited purpose of
counterbalancing you looking like an asshole if you insisted on driving.
While Aghavni likes the assertiveness, she also wants to know that you
respect her.
Your Trust points are important for another reason. MC’s growth (or
lack thereof) in both his romantic relationships and his relationships
with his friends is one of the central themes of Leaving DNA. You can
help MC overcome his aloofness or you can choose to have him embrace
it. Your Trust points will accumulate whether or not you are on any
given LI’s romance path and will impact the endings available to you.
If your total Trust points are not high enough, i.e. if you have
not sufficiently learned to open yourself up to emotional risk,
then you may get locked out of an LI’s path even if you have
acquired all possible trust points with that one LI. Conversely,
if your total Trust points are very high, then you will close
yourself off from being able to choose the Detached Path.
Aghavni
Aghavni has some early sex scenes that you can unlock whether or not
you ultimately want a romance with her. You can still reach Aghavni’s
later romantic content even if you don’t unlock her early sex scenes, but
it’s hard to do. It is strongly advised to insist on driving so that you can
unlock her early sex content.
As of Episode Five there are three sex scenes with Aghavni.
Episode One
Choice 1:
You’re driving, she’ll respect the assertiveness (+2 Assertive)
Let her drive, you need to keep things professional
Choice 2: (only if she’s driving)
Tell her she’s a good cop (+1 Respect)
Don’t say anything
Choice 3:
Encourage him to give his side of the story (+1 Assertive)
Let Aghavni handle it
Choice 4: (only if you’re driving)
Tell her you respect her (+1 Respect)
Don’t say anything
Choice 5:
Ask if Amy was seeing anyone (+1 Assertive)
Let Aghavni handle it
Choice 6:
Suggest lunch with Aghavni (+1 Assertive)
Wait to see if Aghavni suggests lunch
Just go back to your office
Choice 7: (only if you went to lunch)
Discuss your breakup (+1 Trust)
Stay silent
Episode Two
Choice 1:
We’ve always been a great team (+2 Interest)
Agreed
Choice 2:
Confident response
Honest response (+1 Trust)
Choice 3: (only if you gave the honest response)
Tell her you’re glad she’s with you (+1 Trust)
Don’t say anything
Choice 4:
Bring up the parole board (+1 Assertive)
Let Aghavni handle it
Choice 5:
Suggest Andras set him up (+1 Assertive)
Let Aghavni handle it
Choice 6:1
Magnificent (+1 Interest)
Eh, she doesn’t do it for me anymore
Choice 7:
Press her for more information (+1 Assertive)
Leave her be
Choice 8: (only if you drove)2
Pull over
Laugh it off
1 If you don’t choose “magnificent” then her paths will close
2 In order to get this option, you need to have at least 5 Assertive and
you need to have told Aghavni you respected her. If you “laugh it off,”
you can’t get Aghavni’s friends with benefits content. This decision may
also shut off her romance path, but I haven’t decided that yet.
Episode Three
Choice 1:
Read
Invite Aghavni over (+1 Interest)
Choice 2:
Yes3
Maybe not (+1 Interest)

6 If you choose to flirt with the bartender, Jamie will aggressively
defend her territory (you) and that makes her horny so later she
masturbates while thinking about you. This choice doesn’t actually
affect Jamie’s path, but you can’t get Jamie’s masturbation scene unless
you flirt with the bartender!

and her path will close.

Really let her know she looks great (+1 Interest)

She’s perfect for you
Episode Five
Choice 1:

We were just caught up in the moment
Choice 2:

Choice 3:
Embrace her
End this
Choice 4:

You’re in love with her
13 You can’t kiss Emmeline if you had sex with Malena or kissed
Aghavni.
Malena
Malena has an early sex scene that you can unlock whether or not you
want a romance with her. However, in order to unlock this early scene
you have to have already caused Emmeline to lose interest in you. If
you don’t get the early sex scene, you can still reach Malena’s later sex
scenes.
As of Episode Five there are three sex scenes with Malena.
Episode One
Choice 1: (with Emmeline) 14
Say Hello
Ignore her
Episode Two
Choice 1: (with Emmeline, whether you like kids) 15
Yes
No
Choice 2:
Watch her pull up (+1 Interest)
Just head inside
Choice 3: [pick any]
The girl
The bike
Both
14 If you ignore Emmeline, you clearly signal to her you are not
interested, which will open you up to early sex with Malena. However,
there’s a more polite way to do this later so I can’t recommend this
option.
15 Telling Emmeline you don’t like kids will allow you to have early sex
scenes with Malena. If you tell Emmeline you do like kids, you won’t
get the early sex scenes, but you can still keep open both a romance or a
friends with benefits path with Malena and get sex scenes with her
later on.
Choice 3:
Offer your hand (+1 Assertive)
Don’t risk it
Choice 4:
White Russian
French 75
Vodka Martini
Beer (+1 Assertive)
Choice 4: 16

Choice 5:

Don’t flirt
Choice 6:
Acknowledge being a punk-assed bitch (-2 Assertive)
I’m nobody’s bitch (serious) (+1 Assertive)
Just smile confidently (+1 Assertive, +1 Interest)
Choice 6: (if you stayed at the bar)
Shots!
Better not
Choice 7: (only if Emmeline’s path is closed)[pick any]17
Drunk
No, it’s drank
No no, it’s drenk
What?
Choice 8: (only if Emmeline’s path is open) [pick any]
Make a move on Malena
Just go home
16 Staying with Malena and getting drunk is required to get her bar sex
scene, but choosing to leave will not close off her romance path.
17 You must have at least 2 Assertive to unlock this scene
Choice 9:
Look at her boobs as a consolation prize (-2 Interest)
Respectfully say good night
Episode Three
Choice 1:
Express some interest in Malena (+1 Interest)

Even a murderer deserves a chance at redemption
There’s no redemption for a murderer
Choice 8:

18 Malena is paying close attention to this choice! You must choose the
redemption option to stay on her path.
Episode Four
Choice 1:
Ask her on another date
Just go to work
Choice 2:19
Deck this fucking rapist (-1 Interest)

Choice 7 (with Aghavni):

Friends
Episode Five
Choice 1:
Friends
Something more
19 You can choose either of these to stay on Malena’s path, but in the
next choice you must choose to tap out. A throat strike will close
Malena’s path!
20 If you don’t go to your sister you will close all four LI paths. Your
total Trust points must be high enough for you to have this option.
The Detached Path
The “Detached” Path means that you have chosen a life of emotional
isolation. You’ve always been torn between wanting to have emotional
connections and being afraid of them. Now you’ve decided, fuck that, I
don’t need emotional connections. This is sort of a dark path because
you’re turning your back on a lot of people who care about you, but it’s
much safer for you because you won’t get hurt again. Also, you’ll get to
bang some extra chicks without any messy emotional complications.
1. In Episode Two, when you’re at the gym, you get to meet the
woman in pink (Kira). Introduce yourself to her.
2. In Episode Four, when you’re at the bar with Dely and Aria, you
have to choose to abandon Colleen and go with the girls instead.
This is the choice that puts you on the Detached Path and closes
your path with the other LIs.
3. In Episode Five, when you’re at the gym, you can choose to fuck
Kira in the locker room.
The key to unlocking this choice is to have sufficiently low Trust
Points. You don’t have to have a very low trust score to unlock this
choice, you only have to have made three “closed-off” choices to knock
your Trust Points down a bit.
Here are some sample choices you can make:
1. When you’re at the prison and Aghavni asks how you’re doing,
give a confident response instead of an honest response.
2. You have several chances to tell other characters about your
sister. Decline all of these.
3. When you visit Emmeline’s classroom, don’t share something
personal with her.
4. If you go on the double-date with Malena, don’t tell her about your
mom teaching you to read, and don’t be honest with her in the
kitchen.
