⋗︎ Endings

The game features three endings. One very bad, one bad, and one good ending. There's no achievement for reaching the very bad ending, but six for unlocking the other two endings.

For this ending, you have to get inside the cavity in the Keeper's room. It's recommended to do this ending first while making save backups at the locations listed in the 'Introduction' section.



It is your destiny
Ruled with Control



For this ending, you must always listen to 'Control':

• In the power station room, head straight to the three generators and replace the turbine.
  
• Stop listening to the wish canisters as soon as 'Control' tells you to.
  
• Throw away the com device in the funicular.
  
• Press the beacon button in the Keeper's room.

It's highly recommended to do this ending last. If you have saved the game at the locations listed in the 'Introduction' section, you can load the second save to avoid a full second playthrough.

I can’t find video of the third ending anywhere, just Grace being restored and Control letting you die. Great guide!

[Hanni]

@kale man Please see @Tasty's comment below.

[kale man]

so what is the third ending? one is listening to control the whole time, the other is entering the canister in the keeper's room.

[Hanni]

It's too long to remember this correctly, but I'm confident that this canister also does not count. In one of my test runs, I got the achievememt when I only picked up the listed canisters.

[HHKaaL]

you missed a wish canister on level 3, is buriend among the plants before entering one of the rooms

[Tasty]

ahh got it thanks

[Hanni]

@Tasty Don't listen to 'Control' and press the beacon button in the Keeper's room.

[Tasty]

so what is the 3rd ending? theres reactivating grace, activating the beacon, and what else?

[Hanni]

@CAPTAIN CORNBREAD Thanks! @TheSwarm If I remember correctly, they don't count towards the achievement.

[TheSwarm]

Guide is missing the wish canister in the bathroom in room eight, and the wish canister outside of room nine to the left if facing towards it! Bringing the total to 19
