Endacopia Chameleon Battle Guide - No Strings Attached and Case Closed

Updated July 31, 2026 Chameleon Achievements

Quick Answer

No Strings Attached is the Chameleon combat achievement; Case Closed is the paired avoidance achievement. Make a save before the Chameleon conversation, run one branch for the fight, reload, then run the correct identity/avoidance branch for Case Closed.

Branch Before The Conversation

The Chameleon route is a classic achievement split. If you overwrite the save after one outcome, you may need to replay too much of Timesville. Save before the identity conversation, then keep that save until both achievements are confirmed.

Battle Notes

  1. Watch the arms. The puppets telegraph attacks with movement from either side.
  2. Block shortly before impact. Holding block constantly can leave you without enough stamina to punish safely.
  3. Counter once or twice. Do not spend the whole stamina bar after one block.
  4. Re-center after each exchange. The second puppet can punish you while you are focused on the first target.
