Beyond The Veil Achievement/True Ending Guide

Some spoilers required, but mostly just showing where to go.

General

You can and probably should save this until right before the end of the game because it requires some of the relics you get as part of the main story anyway. Credit to the devs for pointing me in the direction of the Cuanacht hidden location and some of the tombs.

You need to go to three hidden areas, plus unlock five tombs, where you'll get a bunch of plot info mostly, but in the final hidden area you get an item that lets you choose this ending at the end game as long you get the information from clearing all the tombs as well. I believe you can do the first two hidden areas in the Horns of the South and Cuanacht in any order but the one in Forlorn Swords will be locked until you get the other two. Tombs can be done whenever you have the appropriate relics as well

Hidden Location 1

After accessing Excalibur go to the Archspire and open the door there, you'll have a conversation inside.

Hidden Location 2

After accessing the Shield of Palamedes go to this location, open the door, and have another conversation. You should also unlock the Bleeding Heart achievement in here.

Hidden Location 3

Finally go to this location in Forlorn Swords (behind the waterfall) open the door prepared for a boss fight this time. You'll get an item from this to use in the end game conversation which unlocks the ability to choose this ending provided you get the info for clearing the tombs as well.

Tomb 1

After accessing Excalibur you can open this tomb right near where you start the game. After you complete the quest inside and leave you'll be met by a Pict woman who will give you info as you progress and the final info needed for the ending after you clear all the tombs.

Tomb 2

After accessing the Shield of Palamedes you can access this tomb in Cuanacht.

Tomb 3

After accessing the Shield of Palamedes you can access this tomb in Cuanacht.

Tomb 4

After accessing the Crown you can open this tomb in Forlorn Swords.

Tomb 5

After accessing the Crown you can open this tomb in Forlorn Swords.

for the "tomb of a knight" it seems you need to recover a chisel for a guy that's just by the entrance of the tomb, or at least after returning and doing that, the lady showed up.

for some reason i cant enter Hidden Location 3. i have been to the other secret locations but still nothing. im unsure if i missed something

[CircleOfSix]

For anyone looking for how to get to location #2, do not go via swamps on the west, go from the bridge on the east.

The map is misleading.

How are we supposed to access the second hidden location? The location indicated doesn't seem accessible to me.

Dont forget to read the stone tablet at Dagonets Tomb or the pict woman wont show up.

Atm she's only come up to me 3 times and I've got about 10 quests in my log that can't be finished. I'm fairly certain it's mostly down to luck if you can actually get this ending or not.

Yeah that woman should talk to you after each tomb if you did it correctly

[Hikikomori]

I guess I might've messed up at one of the 5 tombs, because I did do all of the hidden locations and tombs and then did not get the option to use the item at the end of the game? I'm still unsure if I missed something in one of the tombs or if it just bugged. The only tomb I feel like I could've messed up is the one that is just named 'Tomb of a Knight' as when I exited the tomb I did not get the usual dialogue happen thst usually does after the tombs - Unfortunately i did not make a proper save before the finale, so I guess I'll have to try in my 2nd playthrough. Thank you for the guide either way!

Read the tablet next to his coffin

[FieserMoep]

Is there no Knight in Dagonets Tomb or is another Joke/Riddle?
