Good ending?

[Bad Wolf]

So I got 99% of the achievements except for the "beat the game" achievement. Got all the buildings except the mining depot (the one you need like 11 villagers and you can trade life essence for the rarer stuff). Got all the upgrade buildings. Didn't upgrade all weapons to max.

Either way I go in for the last boss, pretty much just machine gun down with my max upgrade crossbow, blast them with my max upgrade light and finish off with the max upgrade sword (bottom line it was easy once you upgrade those). Get to the boss....die the first time....go a second time and I beat it. See what looks like the ending credits and it says:


"You almost....."

Pretty much the game told me I missed villagers, lights of hope, ect. even though I got all the achievements prior to fighting the boss including the rescue villagers and find lights of hope. And because of how the game is made I can't fight the boss again, it just won't spawn and I don't know how to make it spawn.

I enjoyed the game, it was pretty chill. I got my 100% achievements, but it still left a sour taste because of the ending and won't remember the game in a good light because of it. Sure as hell won't replay it to get the true ending. Least Devs could have done was have some sort of tracker if it was going to be that type of game that had different endings.


So my question is, did someone manage to get the "good" ending? How or what did you do to get it? Hope someone comes out with a guide for this so others can get the good ending.


TL;DR: Game has multiple endings based of completion. Even though I got 99% of achievements game told me I still missed stuff and gave me mediocre ending. Problem is no way to track all the "stuff" and now way to fight boss again and get another ending without starting a new game.

AFAIK there's only one ending, I tested. Backed up my save, beaten missing some lights. Then beaten again with all light, same ending. Also checked some Youtube playthroughs, everybody got the same ending.

Thank you for verifying. Since that is the case it is pretty unsatisfying especially since even after getting a "complete" ending it doesn't even matter, let alone the lame fact that the boss can only be fought once. With all that it is a clear indication that this game was rushed to be finished. Was wondering if it was the same people who made the game Black Skyland, that was another game that had potential but was rushed through and had a lame endgame (I feel like it did at least). Luckily that isn't the case. Worryingly though this is the second, seems well developed at the start but falls flat at the end, indie game I came across and hope it is not the start of a trend. Both were games I kind of enjoyed at the beginning but as I played and saw the cut corners became disappointing.

No problem. And yeah, quite underwhelming there's no different outcome whatsoever by collecting all the lights. Aside from that, enjoyable game overall.

I beat the Spirit of Despair and took the green portal to these columns and was wondering if i got stuck or missed something, but seems i didn't and it just ends here. Pretty disappointing ending and i didn't even know i was finishing the game with that last fight. I wish the Spirit of Hope had said something before the battle, like "face your ultimate challenge" or whatever.

Yea pretty much same. And that extra mining island is pointless after that
