Watcher Question Help please (Watcher Spoilers)

[mirHQ]

[/spoiler]I went through Watcher before update 1.5 to see the ending with echo, can I now go through the game for all the remaining endings (prince, weaver, choice), if so, in what order and are there any important points to consider (for example, something like that you can't meet weaver if you're going through the ending with the prince before. I haven't figured out the update and only heard about all the details and have the vaguest idea of everything that was added in 1.5. Now I just gave a fictional example and I have no idea how it works there., but if there are such details, please let me know)[/spoiler]

The info bellow doesn't have lore or story spoilers, but I thought I'd mark them just in case others don't want to know the details of how/why certain things can (or can't) be missed.

The only thing you really have to worry about is that it becomes extremely difficult to complete the Rot Prince ending after the 4th meeting with the Weaver.. That's because of the rot purifying & warp point closing abilities they give you.

This 4th meeting does permanently lock you out of visiting the 'Hard Mode Vanilla Rot' regions though, because you can no longer create 'bad warps'

You don't have to worry about getting soft-locked out of either of the two new endings either, because the Weaver ending is unaffected by progress towards Spinning Top & Rot Prince endings, although you *might* need to complete Spinning Top's before the Weaver even starts appearing, &/or you need to visit all the regular regions at least once.

As for the final ending, nothing can stop you from getting it. You do need both Spinning Top & Weaver endings first, and also at least awakening & meeting the Rot Prince. This does mean it's possible to skip Rot Ending to get final ending.

That is, first you will need to go through the ending with the prince, then with the Weaver, and then the final one. At the same time, during the passage with the prince, I will not be able to meet the Weaver more than four times, otherwise I will not be able to pass the ending with the prince (now I am in the ancient city, and the ending with the spinning top is completed (I need to get all the endings in one game (during this passage I never met the Weaver, because I played in the game before update 1.5))) Did I understand everything correctly?

Almost, you misread the important # of times (or at least the way you phrased your reply sounds that way).

You cannot meet the Weaver more than THREE (3) times without making the Rot Prince ending VERY DIFFICULT to achieve. The FOURTH (4th) Weaver meeting grants you all the anti-rot abilities.

So feel free to go meet them 3 TIMES ONLY, for nice visual changes to Watcher. And you can meet a FOURTH time, but it will make Rot Prince ending slow and difficult to get, but (maybe?) not impossible.
