Alright gamers, gather 'round! So, you've booted up Hooked On You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Sim and your eyes are set on the tall, cloaked, and adorably awkward Philip Ojomo, aka The Wraith. Let me tell you, out of all the murderous bachelor(ettes) on this bizarre island, our bell-boy is the sweetest cinnamon roll. Seriously, he's less 'homicidal maniac' and more 'painfully shy guy who just needs a hug'. But don't let that fool you—snagging his true ending requires some serious finesse and a lot of understanding. I've been through this route more times than I've escaped from The Trapper, so let me break down exactly how to win this sad boy's heart.

First things first, the initiative is ALL on you. He's not gonna make the first move, ever. Your mantra for this route is: Be patient, be kind, and for the Entity's sake, be understanding. Also, being nice to Dwight and Claudette pays off big time—help them out whenever you get the chance. It impresses Wraith and builds your overall island karma.

Now, the initial quiz doesn't matter much, but for optimal vibes, pick "Invisibility" for the superpower question and "an astronaut" for the dream job. Trust me, it sets the right tone.

Day 1: Pool Parties and Awkward Hearts

The first real choice comes when he suggests hanging out. Always choose Wraith's idea of going to the pool. When he asks about swim gear, go for the goggles and snorkel (it's cute, not judgmental). Here's a CRITICAL moment: when you see him chilling in the pool fully clothed, DO NOT try to take his shirt off. Respect the man's boundaries! He'll then suggest playing Marco Polo—ace this mini-game. Afterward, when The Trapper tries to yeet Dwight into the water, DEFEND DWIGHT. This is a massive relationship boost with Wraith and earns you points with the survivors.

Later, during the meat-slicing mini-game, do well. When the convo turns to him not eating, choose "Say sorry." It shows empathy. You'll eventually pass out and wake up on the beach with him. He gets deep, asking if you're as nervous as he is. Answer "Swear it." He might seem skeptical, but he'll share his most precious possession: his bell. As he talks about his past, you'll get to hold it. "Hold it delicately." This is non-negotiable. Treat the bell like it's his actual heart.

Choose him to tell a story at the campfire, then ask him about it. He'll later invite you back to the pool. When he asks what you thought about the character in his story, choose to forgive the character. When he asks if the young man reminds you of anyone, give the cryptic but perfect answer: "Yes and no." It ends awkwardly, but you're on the right path. Before bed, summon him for a chat. He'll gift you his favorite chess piece, the Knight. Aww.

Day 2: Cosmic Dumps and Truth or Dare

On the second day, he'll invite you out. Another Killer might try to intercept you. PICK WRAITH. You're going to his favorite spot, "The Cosmic Dump." When prompted, speak up. He'll ask why you're on the island. This is your big romantic moment: say "You." Enjoy the glorious, pixelated blush. He'll give you his bell as a gift! 😊

You'll see some shady potions. Drinking one kills you (and gets you revived by the Ocean), but it doesn't affect the relationship. So, you do you. Later, he asks about your family. Pick "I remember my grandmother." This unlocks his own sweet memories about his grandma, Abi.

Notice the hole in the stone table? Mention it and choose to "Smile." He'll suggest a game of corn hole with skulls (only in DbD). Do well! Then, suggest Truth or Dare. He picks Truth first. Tell him he picked a great question and answer with "cactus." When he picks Dare, dare him to show you something. He'll get nervous and ask for his bell back... but it's gone! Dwight and Claudette will interrupt and drag you back to the beach, where Spirit tries to steal you. Call her a hypocrite and hurry back to Wraith.

Finding you returned makes him super happy. He shows you a secret hatch leading to a ritual chamber. While he's explaining things, Dwight and Claudette show up again for dinner. At dinner, when asked about the date, "say you had a great time." Also, thank Claudette and Dwight for the food and cleanup. Good manners matter!

At the fire pit, you can tell a story or not. Just make sure you choose Wraith to tell the next story. After his story, choose to spend time with him. He'll panic and run! Chase him down and offer a massage to calm him. He'll need more distraction—you can play Frisbee or get "down and dirty." The "down and dirty" option leads to you two burying Dwight in sand and making a sculpture around him. Both choices are wins.

The Final Stretch: Confessions and Grandmother's Approval

When the elimination ceremony comes, vote off ANYONE but Wraith. When it's time to confess your feelings, CHOOSE WRAITH. You'll end up on Trapper's yacht. Reassure him about your relationship. Overwhelmed, he'll throw Azarov's Skull overboard. Pick up the coin that falls out. He'll send you to find his missing bell while he preps something special at the Cosmic Dump.

This starts a mini-odyssey:

  1. Trapper's Cave: Ignore the creepy voice and DO NOT pick up the gold coin you see.

  2. Huntress' Cabin: She'll try to kill you. Say you're pranking Wraith to survive, then ace her mini-game.

  3. The Black Lighthouse: Trickster will tempt you to leave with him. Tell him NO firmly.

On your way back, Huntress will stop you. Use the gold coin from the yacht to bribe her for info. She reveals Spirit has the bell. Go back to the Black Lighthouse, confront Spirit (ask if she used Trickster as a distraction), win her mini-game, and reclaim the bell!

Return to Wraith for the final trial: impressing his grandmother, Abi. Win her mini-game and answer her questions correctly:

  • What should a garden have? A statue of a horse.

  • What's your favorite plant? Cactus.

If you played corn hole with Wraith earlier, choose to play it again with Granny Abi. Finally, accept Wraith's love. Congratulations! You've unlocked the True Ending for our favorite awkward Killer.
