How to Get Cut The Act in Endacopia

Cut The Act steps

1. Reach the Trapezist encounter with the scalpel available.
2. Before choosing or starting the battle route, target the rope supporting the Trapezist.
3. Use the scalpel on the rope.
4. Continue past the encounter and check that Steam unlocks Cut The Act.

The source does not show where the scalpel is first obtained or the exact moment the fight becomes unavoidable. If the rope cannot be selected, confirm that the scalpel is still available and, if your save setup permits it, return to a point before the encounter.

Cut The Act versus Fatal Performance

These are opposite outcomes for the same encounter. Steam does not state whether both can be earned in one run. If your current save setup lets you return to a point before the encounter, preserve that option before choosing a route.

If Cut The Act does not unlock

Check these three points:

1. Target the rope, not the Trapezist.
2. Use the scalpel before the battle begins.
3. Confirm you did not complete the fight route instead. Defeating the Trapezist is tied to Fatal Performance, not Cut The Act.

No reliable source currently shows an extra timer, dialogue choice, or no-damage requirement.
