One Save All Basic Endings *spoilers I guess*

[mikeym]

So I just got all 3 basic endings using the same save (at the 9 red squares before the 2nd last boss) by doing the same thing 3 times.

Is all this talk of play-style and doing things to trigger the endings just players acting like skinner's pigeons in the face of RNG?

Well in the original certain actions a you play would dictate the ending. I’m guessing they changed it in the remake. Given the longer length makes more sense.

I did take a very long time to play through the game - which is typical for me - so maybe there are just some criteria that need to be met and after that it's RNG?

It would be interesting to hear from someone who played through quickly if they can get multiple endings the same way.

[Bankai9212]

Nah compared to the original the remake is longer. As for criteria from the original it’s pretty easy, leave ending so long as you remain healthy you’ll always get that ending. Maria requires you to spend a specific amount of time with Maria, not sure how long so kinda hard to do that at the end. Drowning well in the original it’s very specific actions and objects along with being near death.

I read some guides after finishing blind for the first time (29h by the way which I think is quite slow even for the remake) and from what I could see I they were saying I should have gotten the Maria ending but I got the Water ending instead.

I then replayed it from the 9 squares save, because I had done something slightly odd the first time around, by exiting from the door unlocked with the scarlet egg, but pushed back on the doors unlocked with the rust egg from the other side to check if that door had also been unlocked. This time I made sure to exit via the scarlet egg door without touching the other one and got the Leave ending.

Now suspicious that it was just RNG, I did it again, making sure to exit via the scarlet egg door again and got the Maria ending.

To repeat this is how it worked in the original, not sure how the remake handles it. Since I’m at lake view I’m assuming I’ll get the leave ending, or the ending involving the camera photos.

I don't believe so that it's RNG primarily. I know that Maria versus Leave ending is determined by those eggs you get from the two pyramid heads and which door you open first containing which egg. The rust egg gets you the Leave ending. The bright egg gets you the Maria ending. I tested this hypothesis multiple times and got the expected results.

The In Water ending still haven't figured out how that is obtained exactly but my guess is your actions during the two pyramid heads battle.

[Bankai9212]

Well the egg thing is different, they were in the og but you needed both to access the doors. It’s a pretty odd choice method (how does rust associate with leaving). As for the water ending I know the original required you to look at knife not sure if it’s the same in the remake.

I just 100% got both the Leave ending and the Maria ending using the door with the scarlet egg.

I didn't look at the knife at any point. I don't even know how you do that.

You just pull up the inventory and inspect like any other item.

I just went to check. It's in the "Personal" items menu and yes, you can inspect it. I'm pretty sure I didn't inspect it but it's not impossible that I somehow clicked on it by accident.

[Bankai9212]

Not your fault, outside of combining items you really don’t need to inspect any item or mess with inventory at all.

Do you have a video of getting the Leave ending by opening the door you placed the scarlet egg in first? Maybe you did something else that overrode it like waiting to listen to the conversation in the hallway between Mary and James at the hospital, instead of going through the door without listening to the whole conversation.

That part is suppose a flag for the water ending in the og.

No video. I ran through that corridor as quickly as I could for both Leave and Maria endings and exited the door before the dialogue had finished in both cases, though I think the corridor is sized so it's near the end of the dialogue at that point.

Just tried a whole bunch of times to see if I could record the Leave ending and got the Water ending every time (8 times total). After the 1st 4 times doing the same as I did last time I got it I tried a bunch of different things, but always got Water ending.

The only thing I can think of which makes sense is that you get an ending based on how you played (I did get the Water ending the 1st time as well) but it has logic to give you a different ending if you haven't gotten that award yet.
