The Headmaster

Master Every Quest and Scene in This Captivating School Adventure

Ever stepped into the shoes of a strict headmaster turning a chaotic school around? That’s the thrill of The Headmaster, where you wield authority over naughty students and staff through clever rules, punishments, and intimate encounters. I remember my first playthrough—stumbling through Chapter 1’s main quests, fumbling punishments until I unlocked that game-changing spanking scene. This guide dives deep into The Headmaster gameplay, from beginner tips to advanced strategies, helping you max out discipline, influence, and steamy moments without bad endings. Whether you’re chasing the old headmaster’s secrets or training Miss Potts, let’s get you dominating the school.

How to Conquer Chapter 1 Quests in The Headmaster

My first attempt at The Headmaster Chapter 1 ended in spectacular, humiliating failure. 😅 I thought I had Claire under control during her punishment, pushing her limits to see what the game would allow. I went too far, too fast. The safe word was uttered, the scene ended abruptly, and I was left with a pathetic handful of discipline points and a glaring “Failure” on my screen. It was a brutal lesson: this isn’t a game of brute force; it’s a game of precise, calculated pressure. Learning from that mess, I replayed, mastered the systems, and now I’m here to make sure your journey into this captivating school adventure starts with total dominance. Let’s dive into the essential strategies for conquering the opening chapter.

What Is the ‘A Man’s Work’ Main Quest?

This is your primary storyline mission for The Headmaster Chapter 1, and it’s your golden ticket to unlocking the core mechanics of the game. Think of it as your orientation. The quest introduces you to your authority, the key staff, and the delicate balance of fear and influence. Completing it smoothly sets the tone for your entire playthrough.

The quest triggers after the introductory cutscenes where you establish your new, strict regime. Your main objectives are to assert your dominance and gather influence, the currency of power here. The path is clear, but missing the nuances can cost you.

Here’s your actionable, step-by-step breakdown to nail the A Man’s Work quest:

• Visit Miss Potts’ Classroom: This is your first major stop. Speak with the prim Biology teacher. She’ll present you with Faye, a student caught without her uniform. This is a major influence opportunity. Back Miss Potts’s decision to have Faye strip as punishment. Watching this scene and supporting your staff nets you crucial early-game clout.
• Gain Your First Influence Point: After the scene with Faye, your support of Miss Potts is noted. Check your menu—you should now have 1 influence point. This is vital for later choices.
• The Evening Apartment Visit: As day turns to night, you’ll get a prompt to visit Miss Potts in her apartment. This is non-optional for quest progression. Go there.
• Navigate the Private Training: Inside, Miss Potts offers you a drink and a… different kind of training. You’ll be guided through a sequence where you order her to strip, spank her, and then progress to more intimate acts. Follow the on-screen prompts. Successfully completing this entire sequence is critical. It concludes the A Man’s Work quest, solidifies your relationship with Miss Potts, and grants you a deeper understanding of the punishment interface.

Pro Tip: Don’t rush the apartment scene. Pay attention to the prompts and meter. Success here isn’t just about the quest; it’s a masterclass in the game’s control mechanics.

Completing this quest successfully opens up the school, makes Miss Potts a loyal ally, and hands you the tools you need to tackle student discipline head-on. 🎯

Unlocking Miss Potts Training and Influence

Miss Potts isn’t just a quest-giver; she’s your most important strategic partner in Chapter 1. Interacting with her is essentially Miss Potts training for you, the player. She demonstrates the “proper” methods of applying pressure and reward.

Your influence with her opens doors. As seen in the A Man’s Work quest, backing her decisions in public (like with Faye) increases your standing. This influence is a resource. Later, you can spend it to affect school rules or sway other staff members. Think of her as your guide to the game’s darker arts—the classroom scene is theory, and the apartment is the practical exam.

The key takeaway? Always side with Miss Potts when given the chance in these early stages. Her favor is the backbone of a powerful, smooth-running first chapter. Every point of influence you earn with her makes your overarching goals easier to achieve.

Avoiding Bad Endings with Priti and Claire

This is where many players, including my past self, stumble. Chapter 1 presents two major student interactions: Claire and Priti. Mishandling either can lead to a ruined run, lost points, or a dreaded bad ending.

Mastering Claire’s Punishment: A Guide to Maximum Fear

Claire is your first real test in student discipline. The goal isn’t just to punish her; it’s to see how far you can push her fear without breaking her. This is the core of how to max fear in The Headmaster.

Forget about submission for this scene. We are purely cultivating terror. Here is the Claire punishment guide philosophy: be relentless, degrading, and unpredictable. Start verbal, then get physical, and always escalate.

The strategy is to chain these actions, monitoring her fear meter. You want it to hit max just as she uses the safe word. Ending this way rewards a massive amount of discipline points, which are essential for passing new school rules.

The Priti Scenario: How to Steer Clear of Disaster

Priti’s scenario is a trap disguised as an opportunity. You’ll find her nervously waiting after hours. The game tempts you to immediately order her to strip, which she will do—but then she breaks down crying. This is a one-way ticket to the Priti bad ending avoid at all costs.

This choice destroys your reputation, plummets your grades and discipline score, and basically soft-locks your game in failure. I learned this the hard way and had to replay the entire chapter! 😫

• The CORRECT Choice: When you meet Priti, choose the option to comfort her or send her home. Then, agree to help her with her “problem.”
• The Payoff: She will later return and give you incriminating photos of Mr. Wilson, another teacher. Accepting these photos grants you 2 influence points instantly. This is a HUGE boost early on and is the strategically perfect outcome.

Remember: with Priti, kindness (or strategic patience) is a weapon. Exploitation leads to ruin.

Securing Your Rule & Discipline Points

Your end goal for The Headmaster Chapter 1 is to pass the “Skirt Length” rule at the weekly staff meeting. To do this, you need discipline points. Claire’s max-fear punishment is your primary farm for this resource. The points you earn are shown in your statistics menu.

Walk into that staff meeting with a high discipline score from punishing Claire, and support from Miss Potts (and maybe extra influence from Priti’s photos), and passing your first rule becomes a formality. This success is your launchpad into Chapter 2.

So, learn from my initial failure. Focus on the A Man’s Work quest to build your foundation, use my Claire punishment guide to harvest discipline points, and always, always be smart with Priti. Do this, and you’ll not only conquer The Headmaster Chapter 1, but you’ll stride into the next chapter as a truly formidable Headmaster. 🏫✊

From mastering Chapter 1’s ‘A Man’s Work’ to nailing those pivotal punishments and staff trainings, The Headmaster rewards bold strategies and keen attention to stats like fear, submission, and influence.
