Ending (spoiler)
Does P die in the Rise of P ending? Or what's going on?

Had to read it, but it looks like P dies in this circumstance, as he has no Ergo.

Does this ending also give the post-credits scene?

I got the Free From the Puppet String ending on my playthrough.

Nah he does not, he gave his ergo to Sophia because he's a human now, he doesn't need it and she does. You can see his face twitch in the final cutscene when Sophia goes to touch it

He does not die. He uses his Ergo to bring Sophia back to life, and is able to live as a Human.

If you got the Rise of P ending, you are no longer a Puppet, you're human.

You get to play after and find a letter from Sophie if you don't instantly start NG+ cycle. Game treats it like you lived I'd say.

While obviously hard to really confirm without asking the developers; my assumption was that you are not actually giving her "your" ergo per say, but returning hers.

When you fight a boss for example, you get a chunk of "their" ergo, and it can be turned into a weapon or amulet. We however don't have cut-scenes of picking them up, so I figured it was similar to Souls games where you just "absorb the soul into your inventory" (as that is how it works for all enemies).

Hence - when you give her peace, P just sorta plucks a blue ergo off of her, and seems to absorb her ergo which takes the form of the butterflies in the cut-scene (and all bosses sorta just fade away in similar fashions when slain - though lot less butterflies lol).

My assumption was then that - you saved her by taking her ergo (killing her), and then placing her crystallized ergo into the puppet body in the end just like Gepetto did with "us". Allowing her to possibly pick up right where she left off as P can help her regain any lost memories (though we seem to leave her on Manus' tower, so she probably just figures it all back out).
