FHA looks simple on the surface, but it can drive you insane when you actually play it. The four-day loop mechanic seems fresh at first, but hitting that 100% completion means jumping back and forth across 35 loops—screw up one choice and you're restarting. This guide is based on my own playthrough, every option verified. Follow it and you'll clear the main story, all side routes, and the Eclipse epilogues. If you get stuck, just bookmark this page and check back when needed.

New Player Notes: Fate/hollow ataraxia is the FSN Fan Disc, set six months after the Fifth War. The core mechanic is the Four-Day Loop System, cycling from October 8th to 11th. To reach 100% completion, you must complete all 35 loops. The true ending unlocks at 74.9% main story completion, side content brings you to 96.8%, and the final Eclipse chapters push you to 100%. Note that some choices have prerequisites—follow the guide order and don't skip around.

Guide complete. FHA might look like a simple FD, but it has more content than many main titles. Getting through all 35 loops, Bazett and Angra Mainyu's storylines definitely leave an impression. Don't rush—take time with the daily scenes, lots of Easter eggs and references for FSN veterans. Final reminder: Turn off the safe mode in settings or you'll miss content. Enjoy the read.
