Darts Basic Rules and Mechanics
Before the mini-game starts, save your game first. Inside the Penguin Sniper, choose your first partner to play darts with. The goal of the mini-game is to reach 0. Depending on your rank, you’ll start with a “score.” At rank 1 for example, you start out on a “301” starting score. In higher levels, you begin with a starting score of “701”.
Each time you take part in a mini-game, you can increase your Proficiency by +2. If your chosen partner finished the game in the fourth round, Proficiency will rise by +3 instead.
Other than the player’s chosen partner, another person will be randomly chosen as the Protagonist’s second partner. If you don’t like the second partner, you can reload your game.
Lastly, all attending characters will receive +1 confidant boosts after finishing the mini-game.
Darts Target Score System
The target score for the mini-game will change based on the rank of the pairs are starting with. Below is a shortlist of starting ranks and target scores:
| Baton Pass Starting Rank | Target Score |
|---|---|
| 1 | 301 |
| 2 | 501 |

How to get a high score in Dartslive
Below are some tips on how to achieve a high score:
- Other than shaking the controller, you can also press the ○ Button.
- Rather than focusing near the center, you can move the cursor to the edge of the ellipse.
- In the first round, you can afford to make mistakes before reaching the third round.
- Aim to get a score between 1 and 20 by round 3.
- Aim to finish on your partner’s fourth turn. This helps to raise their Baton Pass rank by two levels. Some exceptions to this rule include Ryuji and Akechi.
- You can unlock a score boost conversation when you reach the fourth round.
Score Boost Dialogue Choices
When you reach the fourth round, your partner will ask a question. If you respond correctly, he/she will be motivated to perform well, boost their scores (go up by two ranks), and finish the mini-game on your behalf.
Below are recommended responses to boost your partner’s performance:
| Partner | Score Boost Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Morgana |
“I’m counting on you.” |
| Ryuji Sakamoto |
“Get pumped.” |
| Ann Takamaki |
“Same as always.” |

I find it hilarious that there’s an “Akechi” Starting Rank
Pressing O does not throw the dart. X does.

Eat a dick
Eat a dick if you care about spoilers. Maruki is the final bad guy of the game
Don’t be that way, although think about other people and how they feel about this when you decide to spoil stuff. Although if you’re going to be rude.. Go and spoil it to a place where there are more people who’ll fight back.
Wow you’re so cool for spoiling the story for strangers on the internet.
Oh man i bet no one saw that one coming! I was so suprised!
Some people haven’t finished the game dickwad
Just to reiterate Haru phrase is “ just have fun with it “
