Scene List Guide

I would like to preface this guide by advising you to turn around and forget about this challenge. This PS1-exclusive "Scene List" requires you to unlock almost 200 of Baroque's ~1000 lines of dialogue in order to earn concept art that is freely available (in higher resolutions) on the Downloads page. In an effort to dissuade anyone from undertaking this maddening chore, I've gone ahead and included the blurry in-game versions anyway. Click on the "[Row completion reward]" links in the chart below to view each one.

The reason for all of this negativity is because Baroque's conversation coding logic is incredibly convoluted. The game's programmers struggled to understand it and accidentally made several lines impossible to trigger (none of these bugged lines are on the list, however). Even Sting's own Scene List guide in "Baroque Report Z" is mistaken about the requirements for several entries or is missing them entirely. One line, #109, can also be permanently missed since it requires your Item List to be below 20 items. While the Scene List carries over between new games, missing this line will require you to erase all of your Baroque data and try again. In rare circumstances, others can even fail to register despite properly unlocking them in-game.

I've done my best to flesh out the Scene List Guide found in "Baroque Report Z", but I can't guarantee results. Many of these requirements simply state "Speak with character", because that's all anyone can say without a fully decompiled version of the game's code. Even with the source code on hand, it appears that the game's own developers weren't up to fully documenting these requirements. So please understand that simple lines may not trigger for several cycles and may even become inaccessible within a backlog of conflicting logic until your next game. Or in the case of the Archangel, lines can take up to 40-50 cycles to finally appear.

If you can't be dissuaded from this madness, you have my sympathy. I hope at least that this guide can be of some comfort and assistance in the suffering to come.

137		On the run after you've seen the Guardian Angel confess her sins, use all the bullets in the Angelic Rifle before entering her chamber again. Approach the Guardian Angel, but not close enough to initiate dialogue. From this distance, throw the empty Angelic Rifle to her. She should say "Use this instead" and hand you a stat boosting item. Once you've done all of this, walk forward and speak with her normally. She will ask you to use your purification ability on the Littles, and even though this line is accessible in many ways, this is the only way it will register on the Scene List. Really, why are you doing this to yourself?

172		Speak with the Archangel on your way to the Nerve Tower.
173		Speak with the Horned Woman after you've died at least once (post-Consciousness Simulation).
174		Speak with Box Thing after hearing Sack Thing say "As my father’s hands tightened around my neck, I spoke..."
175		Toss the Crypt Angel an item you've upgraded by 30 ATK or DEF (don't worry, he'll give it back to you). Items with +30 combined (base+upgrades) will not count. It must have 30 points added by you.
176		Speak with Sack Thing.
177		Speak with the Archangel on your way to the Nerve Tower.
178		Purify your 10th Koriel.

Translation disclaimer: Many of the lines showcased in the Scene List are PS1-exclusive lines added for the port. Therefore, my translation of Baroque for the Sega Saturn does not include them. The 2022 English PS1 patch is instead using the Atlus translation of these lines, taken from the 2007 remake (with the exception of a few lines I was asked to retranslate). As such, I take no credit or responsibility for the translations of the PS1-exclusive lines.
