Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly’s final chapter offers players a choice between a swift rescue mission or an extended exploration through the village’s lingering hauntings. Among these lingering ghosts is the poignant Tachibana Family Side Story, a touching epilogue for characters who have shaped much of your journey. Their story provides one last chance to uncover the tragic bonds that tie their spirits together.
Tachibana Family Side Story Walkthrough
Before this Side Story can begin, you need to have completed both Chitose Tachibana’s Side Story and the combined Itsuki & Mutsuki Side Story within the final chapter. Only then will the game notify you that the Tachibana Family Story is now available, signaling a shift to this emotionally charged encounter.
Once activated, proceed to the Tachibana House and enter the Tatami Room. There, you’ll find the specters of Itsuki, Mutsuki, and Chitose seated together. This intimate scene captures their familial bond just before they disappear. Photographing this moment is key, and be sure to collect the journal left behind to deepen your understanding of their story.
Your next stop is the Heavenly Bridge, which links the Tachibana House to the Kiryu House. Here, the siblings gather once more, sharing what might be their final moment together. Snap a photo of this hauntingly beautiful reunion before their spirits fade.
After the specters vanish, retrieve the spirit stone they leave behind. This item isn’t just a collectible; it lets you listen in on their last conversation before death and acts as a charm for your camera, enhancing your interactions with other restless ghosts throughout the village. The Tachibana Family Side Story wraps up quickly, serving as a heartfelt reward for completing their individual tales.
