Welcome to Pathologic 3, a psychological horror adventure where you have just 12 days to save a town from a mysterious plague. As Daniil Dankovsky, a prodigy physician and researcher drawn to this remote steppe town in pursuit of an immortal man, you’ll find yourself thrust into a desperate struggle for survival. Every moment counts as you navigate the town's secrets, manage dwindling resources, and make impossible choices that will shape the fate of its inhabitants.

This guide will help you conquer the game's 72 achievements, many of which are tied to specific choices and outcomes throughout the 12-day ordeal. We'll cover how to achieve these, from the initial recovery of your prototype and microscope on Day 1 to the critical decisions regarding the Polyhedron's fate on Day 12, and all the branching paths in between. If you missed an achievement, don't worry – the ability to rewind time means you can always try again.

Part 1

Complete spoiler-free walkthrough for Part 1 of The Bachelor's scenario in Pathologic 3. Includes tips, controls, trading, food, and detailed Day 1 quest steps.

Walkthrough:

  1. General Tips:
    • The guide is adapted from previous works and aims to be concise. Exact NPC house directions are omitted; explore and trade with NPCs.
    • The Bachelor's scenario took approximately 35 hours to complete, including guide editing.
    • Completing the main quest daily is crucial to prevent supporter illness. Side quests offer items, lore, or can be time-wasters.
    • Befriend NPCs by being polite; rudeness often leads to quest failure. Manipulation is a key game mechanic; play NPCs against each other. Save frequently before talking to NPCs due to potential quest failures from dialogue choices.
    • Shmowders are vital, especially for the final day. Medicine is less critical; reloading saves is an alternative to healing. Looting houses is generally unnecessary due to quest rewards.
