[Major Spoilers] How to get all 10 endings guide

[Lightbearer]

In the normal game you can get 7 endings and 3 endings once you've accessed NG+. Below are their requirements. You can get every single ending on one save file. Important key items such as Memory Shards are not consumed. Note: A "glyph" is one of your health charges that are located in your quest items tab in your inventory.

Sunken Sanctum (Renee) Endings (3)

1) Examine the device, defeat the boss ("Homecoming" ending)
2) Insert 1-2 Memory Shards, defeat the boss ("Cradle" ending)
3) Insert 3 Memory Shards, defeat both bosses. Note that your health charges and healing items do not restock between fights ("The Essential" ending)

The Memory Shards are located in:

1) Frozen Veins NE of the save point
2) The upper left-hand side of Albedo Tower below the portal to the Sky Palace. There is also a Stream Crystal in the same area

Field of Pyro (Ifree) Endings (3)

You need to defeat the twin Pyro Goliaths in Field of Pyro and Scorchwhere (Aqil and Agus, respectively) before these endings become available. Scorchwhere can be accessed in several ways:

A) Take the ferry at the end of Field of Pyro
B) The western exit of Goliath Fall with the Crimson Dash ability
C) Via the Field of Hydro and the Phoenix NPC that takes you to Solar Birthplace. This is how you get the super jump ability and requires the Sorrow glyph from Sunken Sanctum and the Eye of Gongor afterimage from Gongor in Whispering Forest

The area where the "egg" is located is close to the dual save points. Make sure you destroy the wooden beams so that the save point (tree) falls to the ground below to open up a shortcut. Open the map and look directly south of the save point. To the left of the narrow passage that requires you to slide there is a hidden path where you can jump/crouch down that leads to the egg.

The Ifree endings have a few more conditions than the ones with Renee in Sunken Sanctum. Once you arrive at the "egg" you will have a few options:

1) Select the "Let's begin, Ifree" and kill the egg ("Withering" ending)

Requirements. You need the following 8 glyphs: Sacrifice, Pyro, Anemo, Hydro, Geo, Light, and Being.

Note: Ifree survives

2) Soul invade, continue to hit the egg, and defeat Ifree ("The Hope" ending)

Note: Ifree dies

3) You need the 8 specific glyphs listed in 1) and do the following:
- Soul invade
- Hit the egg 1-2 times until Ifree tells you to stop
- Once you've been asked to stop and close the text box, you need to use a Resting Potion or exit to the title screen and reload your save
- Whatever method you used you'll end up at your last save point like normal. Now, go back to the egg for new dialogue that will cut to the ending ("Journey")

Note: Ifree survives

Easter Egg Ending (1)

Requires the Key of Se, which is given to you after collecting all 8 words of Shenlong. Make sure you exhaust all of Se's dialogue.

Silent Coast
- Go to the boat that takes you to Field of Hydro
- Hit the bell above your head to turn off the light
- Hit the switch on the right-hand side of the boat to begin moving
- As you travel you'll eventually reach an area filled with dark fog
- Wait at least 3 minutes in this foggy area
- Hit the switch again to change directions (do not turn the light on at any point)

If done correctly you'll reach a hidden island. Talk with Se and continue moving to the left. Upon completion you'll receive "The Wall" ending.

NG+

How to trigger: Complete the 3 Memory Shard ending ("The Essential") and one ending where Ifree survives (the "Withering" or "Journey").

NG+ is not what you think it is based on the name. It allows you to access a 10 chapter side story with a guest character, named 42, that fills in a significant number of plot details. Chapter 10 unlocks a new area called Nigredo Tower. You can switch between 42/side story (NG+) and Renee (NG) from the load screen. You're not locked out of anything.

NG+ Endings (3)

The first two are done with 42 during Chapter 10 of NG+. The true ending is done with Renee once you've completed Chapter 10. I am not 100% certain, but the true ending may not be accessible until you've seen both endings with 42.

1) Soul invade Karin and kill the boss ("Waiting" ending)
2) Do not soul invade, go through the Reality Mirror to the left of Karin and talk to the Anemo Goliath. Agree to do the ritual without having full knowledge ("The Dream" ending)

3) True Ending ("World Flower")

First, load your normal NG save file. With Renee head to Nigredo Tower. If you forgot how to get there start from the Albedo Tower teleporter save and head NE to the far right room on the second level. Now, go all the way to the bottom and fight Karin to receive her mask shard, which completes the "Forbidden Grounds" quest.

Next, interact with 42 for an additional conversation about her soul field. This should prompt the "Seal of Souls" quest. Return to Owl at the top of the Archives in Holy Grounds and he'll tell you that you need your mask repaired to pierce 42's soul field.

To proceed you need 3 additional afterimages to be able to fight the true final boss. These can be done in any order.

A) Nuo Mask

Go to Field of Hydro and speak with Samsare, the Hydro Goliath. The Nuo Mask requires 5 mask shards. Here are their locations:

1) Rainbow Plains. To the right of the first save. You need to jump on top of the building where you can also pick up Pompeii's Magic Letter
2) Town of the Exiled. Boss drop from Auss. Cannot miss since it's required for game progression
3) Teardrop Base (via world map). Defeat the Ode member in the basement
4) Holy Grounds. While still in the jungle, above the entrance to the golden city/Archives there is a giant stone statue. Requires Eye of Gongor (cures petrification) from Gongor, the Eldricht Fusion located in Whispering Forest
5) In the final area accessible via NG+ defeat Karin. Cannot miss since you need to defeat her to prompt this entire quest line

Now, with all 5 mask shards, go back to Samsare. She will create the Nuo Mask, but will tell you that it is not sufficient on its own and that you need 2 additional items. Prompts quest "Sword and Light."

Note: 1) Your personal mask does not count toward the 5 required to complete the quest, but it is used as the base for the Nuo Mask's creation (i.e., Mysterious Mask in inventory = Nuo Mask in the Afterimage tab) and 2) you can collect all 5 mask pieces in advance if you just want to visit Field of Hydro once.

B) Sword of the Lake

Go to the Heart of Veins save point. To the left is a sword in a stone you can attempt to pull out. Once you have all 4 Stream Crystals the sword will attempt to soul invade you. Kill the boss.

Stream Crystal locations:

1) Frozen Veins, beat Izotz, the Frozen Knight
2) Albedo Tower, SW of the portal to Sky Palace, same area as the Memory Shard
3) Halcyon Veins, to the left of Se's location past a red barrier
4) Raging Veins via Ferryman at the end of Field of Pyro

C) Halo of Genesis

>>Speak<< with the turtle NPC in Forest Foregone. You need 180 talent points to pass his test (credit to black_wind for sharing). Note that there are 2-3x talent point items all over the world map and most vendors sell multiple copies. Consult @demajen's map for any that you might have missed. To retrieve the Halo go to the top of its shell and interact with the golden light.

Return to Nigredo Tower with all 3 afterimages and you'll be able to do the final series of boss battles in the game.

Other things to know:
1) Get Se's Treasurescope as soon as you can. Buy out her store 3x and it'll populate
2) There are 13 total Glyphs in the game. However, having all 13 does not give a different ending. All you need are the 8 listed above

[Lightbearer]

The only thing I can think of is maybe something happened during the patch? I'll ask around and see if anyone is having the same experience you're describing. Hopefully one of the developers will be on and I'll just ask them directly. If I learn anything new I'll update the guide.

Edit: I messaged both of the developers and waiting for them to respond.

Curious to know if anyone else is experiencing these steps not working.

[Krazplay]

I will check back the egg tomorrow, I did not try the "default" option as I wasn't sure if ending the game had definitive consequences, and when I finally tried I had only the soul invade choice because I did the Levine quest in-between.

[Lightbearer]

I'd be curious to hear your results. And, yeah, there are no definitive consequences you can do all endings in one play through and even re-fight the bosses.

I'm mainly curious if you're able to get the "Withering" ending (kill the egg) without having all 13 glyphs. It'll ask if you're "sure" but just continue with the prompts. At least that's what I was able to do.

[Krazplay]

On my side I've unlocked the NG+ after my 5th ending, I was missing The Journey (soul invade the egg but don't destroy it) and the joke ending.

Can't tell for the Withering ending as I now have all the runes, if it was not fixed with the patch, they may have messed up the rune check during the first dialogue and not when you interact with the egg after or something like that.

[Lightbearer]

I just spoke with the developer on Discord. He looked at the guide and said everything was accurate and shared the conditions for NG+, which I added. And changed Joke >> Easter Egg, which is a much better name. Not sure why it's not working for other people.

Scorchwhere is accessed after getting to the end of Field of Pyro where you'll find a ferry man that can take you to multiple places. It's also accessible via the western exit of Goliath Fall after you've gained the ability to dash through red gates by beating the boss at the top of the castle in that area.

Or by flying from the Field of Hydro (Lunar Graveyard) with the sun bird. The Eye of Gongor is needed from Whispering Forest.

[Lightbearer]

That's a great point, I'll add it to the guide. But note that you need to get the Sorrow Glyph from Sanctum to open the Field of Hydro door.

It wasn't clear to me what dispelled the barrier. Thanks! By the way, I had gotten to Scorchwhere like that first, then with the ferry to to Rubiwood Desert and got the Windwalker's Helmet (superjump) before Crimson Cape (red dash), Right-wing Feather of Windwalker (triple jump), and Flamewalker's Boots (down kick on pyro enemies). Without the last it was interesting navigating the place. Good thing I got to the ferry.

[Lightbearer]

I'm really impressed. I did things in literally the opposite order! But, I'm now thinking what it must have been like to start Scorchwhere from that location. I was trying to 100% the entire map before tackling the endings and accidentally came across the super jump when I realized I hadn't been back to Field of Hydro since I first left.

[Requin des bois]

Is it possible to have all endings in one save slot?

But, I'm now thinking what it must have been like to start Scorchwhere from that location.

It sent a very clear "you shouldn't be here" message. I didn't find the teleport save point either, just the regular one at the landing (birth) place. I only returned later from Goliathfall and found the ferry at the Field of Pyro last. (I left Field of Pyro for much later, although I had defeated the Colossus of Pyro before getting to Scorchwhere.)

The Sanctum endings use the Memory Shards, don't they? Does the Soul Resonance Barrier ritual affect them in any way?
I've been holding off on going forward with the ritual (as the game asks twice if I really want to proceed), and have been holding 3 shards for a while. (I noticed that quest items remain in the inventory after supposedly being used, but there were different dialogues based on the number of shards I had, and the repeated questions about proceeding, so I wanted to avoid a point of no return.)
If the ritual is done with fewer shards, then can it be repeated with more, and are there more than 3 shards?

[Krazplay]

You can do all the endings, in any order, nothing is consumed, and if you have choices, like the number of memory shards to use, it's only not to lock you into the 3 shards ending when you collected them all.

Because of that I don't understand why the devs added all those confirmation prompt, like it's a point of no return when there is not, we all got confused by that at first.

I'm missing a mask shard, I have the stone statue shard in holy grounds and the one in tear drop base

Same problem here. Have these three pieces (Damaged, Shattered and Broken Mask) + Nucleus of Talos. Feels like met some very frustrating bug :(

P.S. Whole map is cleared, lvl.99, 9 out of 10 endings done - missing only this last piece >_< (and one blade skill, have no idea where can it be hidden .-.)
