About the ending orders (repentance spoilers)

[zzground]

If I'm not mistaken, you can unlock ending 22 (the ending after the fight with dogma and the beast) without unlocking cathedral, sheol, chest, and dark room? Would that mean that for future new players, is it possible to unlock ending 22 before the other endings?

This is a very very personal opinion but I think the reason that made ending 22 good is due to the other endings you unlock before, so maybe it could be a better experience if you could only unlock ending 22 after you unlocked all the other endings? (I guess I should exclude the 2 endings for greed mode since they're kind of like a bonus mode?)

technically... To unlock dogma you need to defeat mother, which requires to unlock corpse which requires to unlock alt path which requires to kill hush 3 times which requires to unlock blue womb which requires to kill mom's heart 10 times. you still need polaroid/negative for the ascension tho, so idk

Unless you use the Faded Polaroid trinket instead.
So I guess you could technically reach Dogma before getting the post-heart endings (besides Hush of course).

Not sure if it's really a problem though. I mean, technically you can kill the Lamb before Mom's foot if you know what you're doing...

Oh, didn't know you need to kill hush 3 times to unlock the corpse chapter. I suppose that makes it way more harder than I originally thought.

Yeah I can't really say it's a problem, just a thought that somehow passed through my head and made me curious whether if it's actually possible or not.

yeah it is most likely that you are able to skip 5 endings if the unlock for the alt floor is just beat hush 3 times. 6 endings if you don't go to the void in those runs and 8 if you ignore greed mode on top of that.
edit: added a extra number because i forgot about a ending/boss in the chest/dark room

Haven't tested myself yet (give me 5 minutes), but I heard that from a friend and read it on the wiki as well (don't know if said friend only read the wiki or not though).

Edit:
Confirmed. The Faded Polaroid can be used to open the door, even before fighting Mom (and like the Polaroid or Negative, it is consumed in the process).
