Abnormality Codex and possible endings?

[Lord Shaftesbury]

Firstly, I would ask for no spoilers, as I would like to learn the game's story organically. I'm on "week" 5 (days 26-30) and I've begun to cycle through abnormalities with memory resets to unlock more equipment and information. What I've noticed is that most, if not all of the abnormalities I am being given access to are HE+ danger rating and that I will have difficulty unlocking all abnormalities over the regular course of play (i.e not starting over, which I've been told keeps department research and codex untouched).

What I'd like to know is if I can possibly unlock all abnormalities without starting over, and if doing so is neccessary to get the "true" ending (The one that requires the most progress, canon aside.) Even though I only have 40% of the abnormalities unlocked I made it to day 26 with 30 level V employees and over 100 hours in the game. I really don't want to have to undo all that progress to complete the game, which I suppose leads to another question.

Without story spoilers, after I reach the final day, will I be able to continue playing without losing my employees. I've worked so hard to train and protect them I'd hate to lose them so I could keep playing. I may just have to copy my save file and keep it as a seperate trophy.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and if any of the developers are here thank you for this amazing game! This is likely going to be my game of the year, and is an addition to the managment genre I cannot recommend enough.

I actaully got the 100% in 2 runs and no it is impossible since 50 abnormalities is bigger then the 48 abnormality limmit for Unity. Question about the losing the employees, no you will not lose your employees after the final day.

Sorry 78, my bad

Also you will have to reset for something in the late game, if you made a department opening mistake

Beaten the game here, will try to answer your questions as spoiler free as I can.

You'll not be able to get every abnormality without using the memory repository every few days to remove your previous abnormalities and get new ones. You're not given enough containment units to fit all of them.

EDIT: You DO need a 100% codex completion to get the true ending. The ending also is locked behind something else and may require you to reset to day 1 if you're like me and take your sweet time getting to it, because if you don't fulfil the conditions for the true ending by 46 you are effectively locked into one of the other endings due to hitting a memory repository save point. So, if you want to try it on your first run, do not go past day 45 or you are stuck indefinitely.

You can continue playing with your employees past day 50.


I will say this, you're going to find it tough to get to the end of the game if you have abnormalities that are difficult to deal with together, but by the time you get far enough to see how good your facility is for the final stretch, you should have tons of research and weapons unlocked that will make getting back to that point from day 1 pretty quick and easy. The game intends for you to use it, so don't be afraid to.

You do not need a 100% codex completion to get the true ending, I got it with 94%. The true ending is locked behind something else and may require you to reset to day 1 if you're like me and take your sweet time getting to it, because if you don't fulfil the conditions for the true ending by 46 you are effectively locked into one of the other endings due to hitting a memory repository save point.

Did you get day 51s story? I would like to know this so I can update my guide. I too have finished the game, more then ones, and have found that the true ending on day 51 is locked behind a 100% codex and a 100% seed of light. I can also data mine the game and confirm this if you do not answer within a weeks time.

Oh my god. You're right; I was playing spoiler free and assumed the ending I got was the real one. I'll edit my previous post to clarify.

Guess you do need a complete abnormality codex to get it.

Gaaaaaah....
And here I was on my way to the Endgame, training employees and now I know, that I have still something to do for the true ending. Besides numerous of the useable Abnormalities like the Backwards Clock, I still need to research the Orchestra und the Tree thing. Well, I will be possible doing Memory Reset for hours, to unlock all of this... because I really do not want to start a new run again.

Thank god this thread was opened before I went into the last few days

Supporter abnormalities are not required to 100% the codex.
