How to Get the Celine and Clyde Ending in Star Ocean The Second Story R

There’s romance in Star Ocean The Second Story R, but what’s fun is that there is a special Celine and Clyde, aka Clauzer, ending. The key is to spend a lot of time in Krosse right away in the Rena route.

How do I get the ending where Celine marries Clyde in Star Ocean The Second Story R? 

Editor’s Note: There will be spoilers for the Celine and Clyde segments below.

Well, first you need to recruit the symbologist. Celine is one of the “can’t miss them” possible party members. When talking to people in the Krosse castle, you’ll hear about a prince who resembles Claude, but he’s not around for some reason. After getting permission to research the Sorcery Globe, you’ll automatically meet her as a scripted event in Krosse proper. Agree to help her investigate the nearby cave, then when that adventure is done choose to invite her to your party.

From there, you want to head to Krosse again. You’ll be spending quite a bit of time here! Save at the save point at the entrance of town. Enter the Private Action mode with Rena. You’ll see the hourglass PA icon on the far west side of town, near the other exit and restaurant. Celine will be standing outside the cafe. Talk to her and choose the response, “Yes, that sounds like fun.”

The two of you will go inside and meet Clyde. The young man isn’t able to pay for his meal. The correct response here is, “How about if we pay for his bill?” Rena will offer, but then Celine will actually pay for his meal. The three will then talk a bit.

After this, end the Private Action. At this point, saving isn’t the worst idea, because saving often is always good. But what you need to do is enter the PA phase again. You don’t even need to leave town. When you do, you’ll see the PA hourglass icon by the restaurant again. Send Rena that way. Note that you should make sure there’s nothing you want to do near there for like five minutes, because this event auto triggers. Rena will see Clyde at the cafe, go hide in the background, then watch. There are no dialogue options this time around.

Once this second interaction between Celine and Clyde is done, you’ll see a special event scene when the party reunites you end this Private Action phase. Celine will be a bit bashful about what happened.

By now, you should know the drill. Click that button to enter Private Action mode again while you’re still in Krosse. You should see a third PA icon appear, this time at the alley at the far east side of town. Since this spot is different than before, here’s a screenshot I took of the map.

Note that this also automatically triggers, just like the second scene in this side-story. If you don’t want Celine to end up with Clyde (Clauzer) at this point, make sure you avoid this one as it locks in her Star Ocean The Second Story R ending. 

If you’re sure this is the future and pairing you want for Celine, send Rena there. A story scene will automatically trigger, which will reveal truths about Clyde and his relationship with Celine. Rena will reveal herself, and you have a last chance to make a choice. The correct response here is, “I will force you to see Clyde.” You’ll then see the end of their story.

Just like the second interaction, the third interaction in the Celine and Clyde, aka Clauzer, Star Ocean The Second Story R storyline ends with an event scene when you end the PA to show this was a success. Claude will mention hearing shouting at the castle, and you’ll see them brush things off a bit. 

Celine’s ending is now locked in after this, so she won’t showed up in a paired ending with any other characters.

Star Ocean The Second Story R is on the Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC. The game can also immediately be found on the PlayStation and PSP worldwide and the PS3, PS4, and Vita in Japan.
