All Choices In Chapter Nine In Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a choice-based adventure game with a lot of different options to select from in every chapter. While some choices may have ramifications further down the line, or even in Tape Two, one of the main purposes of these branching dialogue options is to build relationships with your companions: Kat, Autumn, and Nora.

If you’re looking to build a relationship with one specific companion, this guide has a breakdown of every choice you can make in Chapter Nine: Garage Band. There are also some interesting narrative options you can gain by staying silent or triggering bonus dialogue.

Remember, when you complete a chapter, you can always replay it by going to the Scene Selection menu. If you’re not happy with your choices, consider replaying the scene immediately.

Enter The Garage

When Swann first arrives at Nora’s garage, you’ll be prompted to knock on the door. From there, you’ll immediately get two dialogue options.

Remember, you also always have the option to stay silent. In this chapter, staying silent doesn’t get you much, but if you don’t want specific events to trigger, that’s always a choice you can make.

From there, you’ll be prompted to knock again and gain entrance to the garage.

First Introductions

Once inside the garage, you’ll get a chance to make a first impression with the other characters as they welcome you inside.

You’ll also get a third dialogue option if you stay silent for a little bit and listen to their conversation before speaking.

After you make your introductions, you’ll be prompted to begin shooting the Nora’s Lair memoir. Take some time gathering footage and moving around the garage.

As you do, Kat will begin talking about her sister’s boyfriend Corey. When she does, Swann has the chance to chime in if she wants.

Scoot by Kat to gain access to the rest of the garage and continue shooting the Nora’s Lair Memoir.

Band Names, Live Shows, And More

After moving by Kat, Nora, and Autumn will begin discussing band names, which Swann can weigh in on. Nora’s pitch is ‘The Spew.’

Depending on how long you linger, you may also get two different sets of dialogue options, after Autumn begins discussing an ex-drummer from the band.

Alternatively, the girls may start discussing going to a concert together.

Optional Dialogue With Kat

After shooting the Nora’s Lair memoir, you can also trigger an optional conversation with Kat if you desire. Kat and you can bond over being self-described weirdos.

If you’re trying to build your relationship with Kat, this is an excellent place to start.

Kat will ask Swann about the freakiest thing she’s ever filmed, which will prompt an extended dialogue tree detailed below.

Some of these options only appear if you’ve actually filmed the thing Swann’s talking about, like the two squirrels mating, which can be done a few chapters prior.

If you say you’ve never filmed anything freaky, you’ll get another chance to answer Kat’s question, or you can apologize and move on.

Kat may also tell you the story of the time she saw a deer stand on its hind legs with an erection. If she does, Swann can continue the conversation.

From there, talk to Nora to progress the level.

Get Ready To Jam With Autumn And Nora

Next, you’ll be ready to rock out with Autumn and Nora. However, Nora is missing her favorite pick. Head over to the media tower to find it.

You can find a small easter egg by opening the Movie Palace tape in the media tower. You can learn more about Autumn’s ex Dean by opening it.

The picks are in the Vortex Club tape, which you can open to find three options.

Additionally, if you open the Shadow Legions tape, you’ll find a stash of weed, which the characters may reference. If they do, you’ll trigger another dialogue option for Swann.

Before the jam session officially starts, Nora will finish a story about her trip to the mall with her dad. At the mall, he chastised her for wearing too much makeup. Swann can weigh in.

Then, Nora will talk about how much she hates the mall in Velvet Cove. Nora actually likes malls, just not the ones in Velvet Cove. Swann can also chime in to build her relationship with Nora.

Lastly, Kat will ask Swann what her favorite band is. Here, you have the chance to try to lie to your companions or tell the truth about your lack of music taste.

To trigger the two lying options, you have to look around at the posters in the garage.

Autumn And Swann In The Future

From here, you’ll trigger a quick cutaway to your future conversation with Autumn. Swann and she will discuss Swann’s movie taste, as opposed to her music taste.

This is the only choice that will have an actual effect down the line in this chapter, so choose wisely.

Time To Rock Out

Back in the garage, Nora and Autumn will be ready to jam. They’ll ask Swann to hop on the drums. On her way to the drum kit, Swann will knock over a stool, prompting Autumn to check in on her, asking if she’s okay.

Autumn advises Swann to not fall on her wrists next time, sharing a bit of skateboarder wisdom. Swann can weigh in on this, giving her a chance to build her relationship with Autumn.

Autumn will then ask Swann if she’s ready to help them play by using the drum kit.

Swann will then sit at the drum kit. There are no narrative consequences for which beat you create on the kit, so have fun with it!

From there, you can finish the chapter simply by following the prompts.
