In the murderous game of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, making friends is the last thing on the minds of some characters. Protagonist Makoto Naegi, however, thinks it’s important to maintain connection and trust. To this end, the player can bond between Makoto and his classmates, perhaps even forming deep friendships. These bonds can actually be important in the game, as they unlock abilities during Class Trials.
In order to connect with his classmates, Makoto must not only spend time with them, but also show generosity through gifts. Each student has their own likes and dislikes, and because time spent together is limited in the Death Game, there is little room for trial and error. Here is a guide to getting and giving gifts in the first Danganronpa Game.
WARNING: Light spoilers in advance for Trigger Happy Havoc.
How to get freebies
The player can get items to offer to his comrades at the MonoMono machine in the school store. By putting a Monocoin, players can get an item. The machine starts with a repetition probability of 0%; however, each time the player receives a new item, the chance of them getting an item they previously received increases. The player can put additional Monocoins to reduce the chances of repetition; however, this does NOT increase the number of items they will receive. Makoto will only receive one item each time he pulls the lever.
Keep in mind that it is not necessarily a negative thing to receive an item that Makoto has already received, as many students like the same gifts. In particular, there are two gifts that are appreciated by all students in the school, and therefore are among the best to obtain. here are the Peak of Hope Ring and the Funplane.
Gift preferences
Each of Makoto’s classmates has a Loved Gift List and a Loved Gift List. After each character’s first free time event, the player must present the character with a loved or loved gift each time they choose to spend time with that person, in order to initiate the next free time event and fulfill the next page in the School Report.
Below, players can find a list of each character’s beloved gifts. As the lists of beloved gifts are often much longer, a few are listed here, along with links to the Danganronpa wiki where players can find a full and detailed breakdown.
