Psychic Detective is an excellent motion picture game! I've managed to
get Eric to "win" at Black Diamond, but I keep getting almost the same
endings- usually "the Healing."

Anyone stumble on the right path throughout the 3 disks to get to THE
GRAND SLAM ending?
Any clues from Electronic Arts or others who have wandered through this
movie game?
Post the info here and let us all see how many different endings we can
find!

Ok, folks- I managed to answer my own question from the previous article.
I have found a few paths that lead to "the perfect" GRAND SLAM ending.

Remember, in order to get a GRAND SLAM you MUST win the Black Diamond Game
against Max. In order to get the GRAND SLAM, you must do the following
during your 3-disk adventure BEFORE challenging Max at Black Diamond:

In Disk 1- Nothing you do or don't do in Dick 1 had much effect on the
Grand Slam occurring or not- at least not any obvious ones. I suggest you
pokey around Moki's head long enough to see him stare at the Black Diamond
family photo and to catch his confrontation with Leina and his discovery
of the torn photo of Leina and Sergei and of the broken doll head. You
should then hop into Chad while he's reading the green notebook, and
observe (and try to help) when Sylvia stabs Chad.

In Disk 2- Most important part- FOLLOW MOKI! Don't follow Monica or chase
after Leina- yet. Follow Moki, who'll send your mind into the Brick. From
there, go to Leina's (like you have a choice either way?), and wait for
the MONICA'S TROUBLES icon to pop up in the upper right area. Then use
her collector to hop into Sergei and try to save him from Lance before
Lance offs Sergei. Haven't figured out if we can actually SAVE Sergei from
Lance. If anyone knows how, tell us here! Anyway, Leina will flee
(always) and you'll end up arrested (also always).

In Disk 3- Hop a ride in the Cop's minds if you wish to witness Sylvia and
Max in the limo, or if you wish to catch up to Leina while she goes off to
the Mansion and confronts Old Lady Anna. For either outcome, it is
easiest to hop into the Courier, then right into Leina. Either then stay
with Leina if you wish to see her scene with Anna OR hop into the
skateboard kid who'll lead you to Max's limo- and Max and Sylvia. If you
wish to do the "HOTHEAD" ending by seducing Sylvia rather than the GRAND
SLAM ending, you MUST see the limo scene. If you instead wish to eliminate
your own mainfear (the cigarette icon)-which is not necessary at all to
get the Grand Slam= then stay in your jail cell and hit the confront fears
icon.

When you get released from Jail, Moki should be waiting for you outside.
If he isn't and Leina is, it seems to be not possible to save Anna from
Sylvia a little later- which makes getting a Grand Slam also not likely.
So that's why we HAVE to follow Moki back in Disk 2! Here in Disk 3,
he'll ask you to test out the collector Max sent Sylvia with. Use the
collector on Monica, which will show you how Max is on his way to betray
Moki. Warn Moki and RUN AWAY!
Then Leina will take you to Anna. Don't rush to Anna's side right away-
find the "black diamond" shaped floor tile path, use it to find Lexi's
secret room, then touch ANYTHING- but just one object. This'll establish
whatREALLY went on before Eric entered the game. NOW rush to save ANNA
from SYLVIA. When you've pushed Sylvia out of the way, hit her with the
MONICA"S TROUBLES icon, and this will rub in that "Max is sleeping with
Monica/jealousy" plotline. Anna will tell you this is a good thing. Anna
then advises you to challenge Max at Black Diamond and choose both HERSELF
and "his scar" as your icons. His scar is the yellow kite icon.
BACK TO DISK 1- Now touch Leina's bracelet. Then say you'll rescue Monica.
Don't use the collector until AFTER you hop a ride in Janine's head to see
Lance.
Then use the collector on Lance for "affection"-so Lance will open the
storage room and save Monica. Then IMMEDIATELY use the collector again-on
Monica, to make her AGGRESSiVE. Monica kick's Lance's butt, you get the
gun.
Get the ladies out of there! Time to face Max at Black Diamond.

DURING BLACK DIAMOND- Choose Anna's icon (anytime she's still ALIVE), plus
the yellow kite (Max's Scar). Also, if you did all of the above, you can
pick Monica's icon, since you saved her- so she'll now be "strong." Pick
the cigarette icon if you wish to keep it away from Max toprevent it from
being used against you.

After you defeat Max, you'll get the GRAND SLAM ending.


Anyone map out other interesting finales to this game that you enjoyed?
I like HOTHEAD, and saw plenty of THE HEALING. All the "loser" endings
seems similar. The winning endings were barely much better- only
disappointment in this great full-motion video movie game!

Enjoy,
Dave Bakas
