Life is Strange Reunion How to Save Everyone: Super Max Trophy Guide

If you want the best ending and the Super Max trophy in Life is Strange Reunion, you can't improvise the finale. Figuring out Life is Strange Reunion how to save everyone comes down to two accusations, one difficult conversation at the lighthouse, and a fast, properly ordered sweep through a burning campus. Miss a single valve or a single poster board and someone dies — and the memorial wall outside the Snapping Turtle will show you exactly who didn't make it.

This guide walks the whole Life is Strange Reunion how to save everyone route in order, from the Snapping Turtle to the Wall of Heroes, so you can unlock the trophy on your first serious attempt instead of replaying chapters.

The Two Accusations That Decide Everything

Two choices made long before the fire determine whether certain characters can survive at all. According to GameRant's save-everyone walkthrough and TheGamer's step-by-step guide, you need to accuse Ren as Chloe and Vinh as Max.

To make the first accusation stick, Chloe has to convince Joey she's part of the protest, then bring her suspicion of Ren to Noelle. When Noelle is warned, she interrupts Ren's attack later on, which keeps Loretta and Owen out of danger entirely.

The second accusation sends Max to the Abraxas house to talk Vinh out of burning the hidden skeleton, himself, and the building along with it. If you skip this, Vinh doesn't survive no matter how well you handle the fire.

One hard rule: never accuse Safi. Every source treats that as a direct threat to her trust and to your ability to talk her down later.

How to Save Safi at the Lighthouse

Safi is the toughest name on the list because the save happens in dialogue, not in the flames. ScreenHype's save-everyone guide notes that her scene with Chloe is what decides her fate.

Telling Safi about the fire in the "Times in Turtle" scene gives you the later reassurance line, but ScreenHype is explicit that it is not required to save her. What matters is staying consistent and empathetic in the lighthouse exchange itself, and it helps to avoid accusing Safi of starting the fire.

Published guides do not agree on a single script, so use one documented route end to end rather than mixing lines from two.

ScreenHype's route: "I'm sorry," "Max loves you," "She told you about the fire," "You've been hurting since Maya died," "She knows you can do better," "Fine. Let's be b*stards."

PowerPyx's route: "Max loves you," "She told you about the fire," "You got lost in your powers," "Mums can forgive a lot," "She knows you can get better," "We're also alive."

ScreenHype notes that several dialogue combinations can keep Safi alive as long as you stay consistent with her; PowerPyx warns that a wrong choice may cause her to take her own life. The observatory fire itself is not a choice — Safi lights a cigarette and drops it in a wastebasket, which starts that blaze regardless of the accusations.

Pull this off and you'll also earn the "You're Coming With Me" trophy.

Life is Strange Reunion: How to Save Everyone During the Fire

The "Line of Fire" chapter is where most of the cast lives or dies. Once you control Max after the fire starts, do not wander — the poster board and the custodian's closet come first, and the cutscene near the observatory can lock you out of both.

Step 1: Read the Jeannette Poster

Walk up the stairs and read the poster board on your right before you go any further. That's what tells Max that her student Jeannette is still inside the Observatory. Without that knowledge, you can't pass the information to Noelle, and Jeannette dies.

Step 2: Clear the Custodian's Closet

After speaking with the custodian, enter the building directly in front of you. Inside you'll find four things:

• The wrench on the shelf.
• The mask on the small cart.
• A note next to the breaker box — read it first, or the box won't power on.
• A shutoff valve in the room.

Powering the breaker box turns on the sprinklers. Flipping that first valve is part of the three-valve chain that keeps the administration building from going up.

Step 3: Save Noelle and Jeannette Together

Noelle is standing just around the next corner. Hand over the mask and bring up Jeannette before the conversation ends. Mentioning Chloe and Moses keeps the dialogue moving, but the mask and the Jeannette tip are the two options that actually keep people alive.

Step 4: Find All Three Valves

The remaining valves sit outside the closet:

• Pass through the opening in the brick wall and turn the valve on your left with the wrench.
• Grab the T-wrench mounted just above that valve.
• Head toward the fountain, take a right toward the police car, and look for the hole in the ground that marks the third valve. Open it with the T-wrench.

Step 5: Break Open the Doors for Anthony

With the valves done, walk past the fountain toward the statue beside the building and take a right toward the doors — the same entrance Max approaches at the very start of the game. This time you're carrying a wrench, so choose Smash to create an escape route for Anthony and the other trapped students.

How to Confirm You Saved Everyone

After the fire, Yasmin gives a speech at the Snapping Turtle. Look at the wall outside: a memorial means you lost someone, while a Wall of Heroes means everyone made it. That's also when the Super Max trophy or achievement pops and the best ending is locked in.

One ending note worth knowing: showing the photo to Max as Chloe only sends Max back into the picture alone if someone died on your run. After a full rescue, Max destroys the photo herself and stays in the current timeline. Burning the photo as Chloe also gives Max and Chloe a good ending even on a run where you didn't save everybody.

Fixing a Missed Save

The game is generous with chapter rewind, so a failed run rarely means a full replay. Use the chapter select to jump back to the right decision point:

• Wrong accusation as Chloe: return to "Chloe's Decision," accuse Ren, and play forward.
• Ren accused but Vinh missed: return to "Max's Decision" and accuse Vinh.
• Safi won't listen: go all the way back to "Times in Turtle," tell her about the fire, and continue from there.

FAQ

How do I know if I saved everyone in Life is Strange Reunion?

Check the wall outside the Snapping Turtle after Yasmin's speech. A Wall of Heroes means every character survived; a memorial means at least one didn't, and the Super Max trophy won't unlock.

Where do I find the mask for Noelle?

It's in the Custodian's Closet, sitting on the small cart next to the wrench. Grab it before you speak to Noelle — you can't go back for it mid-conversation.

Can you stop the observatory fire?

No. Even with Ren and Vinh both stopped, Safi's dropped cigarette starts the Observatory blaze. The fire is unavoidable, so plan for the rescue sweep rather than trying to prevent it.

Does Life is Strange Reunion how to save everyone require perfect backtalk?

No, but the two accusations do have to land. If a backtalk check fails, Chloe cannot rewind it; replay the relevant scene through Scene Select and win the exchange, then confirm Ren and Vinh are the names you accuse before the fire chapter begins.
