Endings

Ehhhh, for the record, I do aware these who perhaps came here, spoilers alert.
So hi again you guys, I have a question. I havent finished the game yet, Just got Isis memory shard. So I looked throught the acheevements and saw that there were 3 endings. Neutral, Good and Bad. And Interner says that its possible to obtain both Neutral and Good. So for the Neutral one I must not retrieve Eos memory shards, whereas for Good I must. So my problem is that I talked to Io right after Fox boss, and she said quote "Leda gave you a shard, let me take a look at this" - but problem is that Leda gave E shard of Isis, and I thought Io would show me that exact shard, but she showed me her own memory shard, thus I got Eos A shard to my inventory. Will I still be able to get Neutral ending if I wont get any further Eos shards?

The only thing that matters is restoring the memory of Successors before their boss battle, not the Eos shards. Before each of the Successors, you'll encounter an Attendant (an NPC that looks like Io). You can give the Vestige shards found in this stage to this NPC. Doing so will let you restore the Successor after the cutscene where you defeat them.

To restore a Successor, give all Vestige shards to the NPC before the boss, and after the cutscene, talk to the ashen statue. Do not go to the big door. You'll see another cutscene and the Successor will be restored to their boss form, but friendly.

Anyway, for the endings.

Good - restore all 4 Successors.
Neutral - restore from 1 to 3 Successors.
Bad - restore none of the Successors.

If you got all the Vestige shards and do not want to restore the memory of the Successor, just go to the big door and do not talk to them.

Lastly, to know if you got all the Vestige shards, when you talk to the Attendant, there should be no options available to restore (even blanked out).

EDIT: Ashen Caves has no Successor.

Ah, I think I've misunderstood. You can't get two endings at once. What you probably read is that you can get the Io bonus scene together with the Good ending. To do so, just get all Eos Vestige shards in a single playthrough. You have to get the ones from the Attendants (before each Successor) and also a few others scattered around the last dungeons of the game.

So at the end, I still have to beat the game thrice? I see.
