Complete list of choices
I will not explain thoroughly each choice, as there are other guides that describe how to find certain items or to trigger certain events(like pushing Irene Sanders towards suicide).

Instead, here is a list of choices, that i did on my second playthrough, which surprisingly granted me a possibility to chose all four endings.

1.Never drink alcohol

2.Read all unholy books(3 of them)

3.Tell Bradley the truth about Marie Colden's fate.

4.Always choose answers in R'Lyeh language (9 of them, including obligatory answer while communicating with Leviathan in prison).

5.Make Irene Sanders commit suicide.

6.Accept Algernon Drake's offer for help in bookstore.

7.Save Drake at the end of the fight with the Shambler.

8.While conversing with Leviathan, choose option "struggle" in "underwater prison" sequence.

9.Refuse to accept Leviathan knowledge.

10. Refuse to accept "the Truth" - Leviathan knowledge, second offer.
(All answers are in R'lyehian and lead to same result).

11.Spare Bradley.

12.Save Mitchell, the bar owner, by getting him medkit from the warehouse.

13.Examine Cat's dead body after you have saved Mitchell.

14.Refuse to take medicine while hallucinating in whaling dock.You will take it anyway, this is intended, but YOUR CHOICE matters.

15.Refuse to eat meat while hallucinating in whaling dock.You will take it anyway, this is intended, but YOUR CHOICE matters.

16.Refuse to take the gun while hallucinating in whaling dock.You will take it anyway, this is intended, but YOUR CHOICE matters.

This choices triggered ALL FOUR endings in my playthrough.If they don't do the same in your's, I have no idea why.
Have fun with this awesome game.It's not a waste of time even if you replay it.
I have to note that Leviathan's monologue/dialogue has much more sense when you replay the game.

Thanks to Muckelchen for help with more precise R'lyehian answer count and pointing out that #10 is obsolete.

I read only 2 unholy books and it worked (I missed the first entry of them)

It could be bug, but maybe it's a necessary requirement for that achievement to accept Leviathan knowledge

As a side note: The "Fluent in R’lyehian" achievement are unobtainable (or bugged for me?) by following the route of this guide (even though I did chose all 9 of the R'lyeh answers).. I have to reload my save to Accept Leviathan's Knowledge in Chapter 10 to finally achieve it at the end... So annoying... :steamfacepalm:

Guide worked fine! Thank you #HarꓷꓓieseL

Thanks, that worked. Though number 10 is not possible I think. I assume you are referring to the scene where Leviathan is coming to Pierce for the second time in the prison. (That is the only possible other encounter with him.) But there you have 6 answers, all in R'Lyeh language and they all do the same: accept the offer.

And for number 4: For some reason I couldn't pick the 5th R'Lyeh answer. That is the one where you give Algernon the amulet. Before or after having given it to him, I could not pick it.

Do exactly as the guide says, and you will have a chance to experience all 4 endings in single playthrough

but isn't there an ending that ewquires you to drink alcohol and one that requires you to not ever answer in r'leh? how is it possible to do all endings in one playthrough when some require something the entire game and others require the opposite the entire game?
