Rick and Morty: A Way Back Home Walkthrough & Character Routes

This Rick and Morty: A Way Back Home Walkthrough organizes the available progression into separate character routes for Beth, Summer, Jessica and Tricia.

The game does not treat every storyline as completely independent. Several routes share the same early-game prerequisites, and progressing one character can unlock the next objective for another. Because of this, following the correct event order is much more reliable than repeatedly checking every location.

If you need the game itself, visit the Rick and Morty: A Way Back Home game page on GameCax.

A Way Back Home uses interconnected character progression. A useful way to think about it is:

Early Story Event → Required Character → Location → New Mission → Another Character → Next Route Event

Summer, Jessica and Tricia in particular share several early events. If one of those routes appears stuck, continue the related Tricia or Summer mission before checking the character again.

For a new playthrough, a practical starting order is:

1. Complete the opening story events.
2. Get the phone and related navigation app.
3. Begin Beth’s early home events.
4. Continue the opening Tricia school sequence.
5. Use Summer’s route to unlock the phone-related investigation.
6. Continue Jessica and Tricia as their missions split into separate branches.

Beth has the most self-contained route of the four supplied walkthroughs and primarily progresses through the house.

Step 1 – Talk to Beth in the Kitchen

After talking with Summer and receiving your phone, your first Beth objective is in the kitchen.

1. Go to the kitchen.
2. Talk to Beth.

Step 2 – Living Room Event

After the conversation, the time advances to night.

1. Go to the living room.
2. Find Beth there.
3. Accept the option to spend time together watching a movie.

Step 3 – Bathroom Event

On the following night, check the bathroom for the next Beth progression event.

Step 4 – Unlock the Second Movie Sequence

Continue the main story until you have received the curse and app from El Diablo at the mall and Morticia/Rick have appeared during the nighttime sequence.

Return to the living room and talk to Beth again.

This time you will need wine before the event can continue.

Step 5 – Get Money From Rick

1. Go to the garage.
2. Talk to Rick.
3. Get enough money to purchase the wine.

Step 7 – Continue the Night Events

The Beth route then progresses through several consecutive nighttime events.

1. On the following night, find Beth in the kitchen.
2. Start the next movie event.
3. Go to bed afterward to trigger the following progression.
4. On the next midnight visit, return to Beth’s bedroom.

Step 8 – Talk About the Previous Night

After completing the bedroom progression, find Beth in the living room at night and talk to her about the previous event.

Go to bed early again afterward.

Step 9 – Make Breakfast for Beth

The next major objective requires money.

1. Get approximately $80 from Rick.
2. Use it to complete the breakfast objective for Beth.

Beth Bonus Event – Morning Bathroom

A bonus Beth event can appear if you use the bathroom in the morning while she is there.

2. Ask where she is going.
3. On the following morning, talk to her about Art Class again.
4. After completing that event, find Beth again.
5. Talk to her about the photos.

Summer’s route shares its opening with the Tricia and Jessica progression.

Step 1 – Find Summer

After completing the opening events involving Tricia, use the app obtained from the Devil to locate Summer.

Step 2 – Continue Tricia’s School Mission

You cannot immediately continue Summer.

Progress the Tricia mission first. After the school bathroom sequence is completed, Summer will approach you again.

Step 3 – Ask Summer About Jessica

After Summer shows you information involving Tricia, ask her about Jessica.

This unlocks the next investigation objective.

Step 4 – Investigate Summer’s Phone

At midnight:

1. Go to Summer’s room.
2. Interact with her.
3. Check her phone.
4. The phone will initially be locked.
5. Check the diary on the shelf to obtain the password.
6. Return to the phone.

Step 5 – Return to School

On the next day:

1. Go to school.
2. Talk to Tricia.
3. Continue the objective involving Jessica.
4. Return to Summer for advice.

Step 6 – Complete the Church Progression

After Summer’s next emotional event, she will give you another objective involving Tricia.

Continue the Tricia storyline until the required church event has been completed.

Then return home and talk to Summer.

Step 7 – Buy the Required Practice Item

1. Talk to Summer after the church progression.
2. She will eventually require an item from the mall.
3. Ask Rick for money.
4. Go to the mall.
5. Buy the required item.
6. Return to Summer and give it to her.

Step 8 – Repeat Summer’s Practice Events

The next part of the route requires several consecutive days.

2. Find her again on the next day and discuss practice.
3. Repeat the conversation when the next mission appears.
4. After Summer talks with Rick, return to her again.
5. Continue repeating the available progression until the sequence finishes.

Step 9 – Later Summer Events

Continue checking Summer after major story events.

The supplied walkthrough specifically identifies:

• A conversation after the cinema.
• A discussion involving Ethan.
• Another Summer conversation after the zoo park progression.

Jessica’s route initially follows the same prerequisite chain as Summer.

Step 1 – Complete the Summer Introduction

1. Finish the opening Tricia events.
2. Find Summer using the app.
3. Continue Tricia’s school progression.
4. Wait for Summer to speak with you after the bathroom event.

Step 2 – Unlock the Jessica Investigation

Ask Summer about Jessica.

This activates the mission involving Summer’s room and phone.

Step 3 – Access Summer’s Phone

At midnight:

1. Enter Summer’s room.
2. Check her phone.
3. Use the diary on the shelf to obtain the password.
4. Return to the phone.

Step 4 – Ask Summer for Jessica Advice

On the following day:

1. Go to school.
2. Talk to Tricia.
3. Return to Summer.
4. Ask for advice regarding Jessica.

Step 5 – Complete the Church Sequence

After completing the church progression:

1. Continue the event with Tricia.
2. Visit Morticia.
3. Complete the Pickle Morty progression.
4. Immediately afterward, visit Jessica’s house.

Step 7 – Get Dating Advice

On the following day:

1. Talk to Beth for advice about Jessica.
2. Go to school.
3. Talk to Tricia about helping you approach Jessica.
4. Go to the classroom.

Entering the classroom after completing these prerequisites triggers the Science Class progression.

The Tricia route is closely connected to both Summer and Jessica, so completing their shared early events in the correct order is important.

Step 1 – Complete the Opening Tricia Events

After the opening story sequence, locate Summer using the app received from the Devil.

Then return to Tricia’s mission:

1. Talk to Tricia in the school bathroom.
2. Go home.
3. Complete the required home objective.
4. Return to the school bathroom.

After completing this section, Summer will approach you.

Step 2 – Unlock the Jessica Mission

After Summer shows you the Tricia-related information, ask her about Jessica.

This activates the Summer phone investigation.

Step 3 – Search Summer’s Phone

At midnight:

1. Go to Summer’s room.
2. Check the phone.
3. Read the diary on the shelf for the password.
4. Return to the phone.

Step 4 – Return to School

The next day, go to school and continue talking with Tricia.

Then talk with both Jessica and Tricia as the school sequence develops.

Step 5 – Church Progression

Continue the Summer-related objective and locate Tricia at the church.

After completing the first church event, wait until Tricia is available there again and continue the route.

Step 6 – Visit Morticia

After the church progression, visit Morticia.

This unlocks the next part of the route and allows you to start messaging Tricia.

Step 7 – Messaging Sequence

Use the phone to continue Tricia’s message progression.

One stage requires purchasing an emoji pack before the conversation can continue.

Continue messaging until the next Jessica-related objective becomes available.

Step 8 – Jessica’s House and Pickle Morty

After completing the required messaging sequence, visit Jessica’s house.

This triggers the Pickle Morty progression.

Step 9 – Ask Tricia for Help With Jessica

On the next day:

1. Find Tricia.
2. Ask for help getting closer to Jessica.
3. Continue the resulting objective.

Step 10 – Rick’s Confidence Event

Talk to Rick in the garage when the mission requires help building confidence.

Complete Rick’s related garage sequence before returning to Tricia’s route.

Step 11 – Mall Item

The next objective requires another item:

1. Go to the mall.
2. Purchase the item requested by the mission.
3. Return to school.
4. Give the item to Tricia.

This triggers the next Tricia progression event.

These three routes overlap heavily during the early game.

A simplified dependency path is:

Opening Tricia Event → Find Summer → School Bathroom → Summer Conversation → Ask About Jessica → Summer Phone → Tricia School Progress → Church → Morticia → Separate Character Routes

If Jessica or Summer appears to have no new interaction, verify that you have progressed Tricia far enough first.

Several character routes require purchases before the next event can trigger.

• Wine – Beth route.
• Summer route item – purchased from the mall after getting money from Rick.
• Emoji Pack – required during Tricia’s messaging sequence.
• Tricia mission item – purchased at the mall during later Tricia progression.

If an expected event does not appear, check these conditions:

1. Previous event: Make sure the earlier character event actually finished.
2. Time: Several Beth and Summer events specifically require night or midnight.
3. Related route: Summer and Jessica frequently depend on Tricia progression.
4. Phone: Check whether a new message or app objective is available.
5. Money: Some missions cannot continue until you buy the required item.
6. Rick: Talk to Rick when a mission requires money or another progression trigger.
7. Location: Revisit school, church, garage, mall or the relevant house after completing the prerequisite.

There is no requirement to finish every character completely before starting another, but the supplied walkthroughs suggest this practical progression:

Beth Early Events → Tricia Opening → Summer → Jessica Investigation → Tricia Church/Morticia Progression → Jessica Route → Continue Summer → Continue Beth

This works because Beth is comparatively independent, while the other three character routes share more prerequisite events.

If you are playing a substantially newer game release, later character events or changed progression requirements may not be represented by these documents.

Use the route sections above for the content covered by those walkthrough sources and treat later undocumented progression separately.

This GameCax guide reorganizes four separate character walkthrough documents into a single route-based guide. Shared prerequisites are grouped together so you can understand why Summer, Jessica and Tricia may temporarily stop progressing while another route still has an unfinished objective.
