Guide to secret endings
Prior to the last two months it was possible to make events that made the player win a number of days after the event triggered, or refrain the game from giving the victory for a certain number of days. Since the latter hardly worked by the slightest margin, both effects got removed in order to get fixed, and still to this day they are unaccessible and trying to interact with events that had those two lead to the Creator freezing. But since this plague was made before that, and the "days until game win" consequence is entirely effective, this scenario, unlike the later ones, has alternative endings to the usual "kill them all" or "infect them all and evolve ____", Neurax Worm style. The aim of this guide is to illustrate the requirements to reach every ending.

Before starting be aware that infectivity, severity and lethality bars are made of 100 points each

And of course
*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Before going into the actual secret endings I'm going to illustrate the two paths to Obedience, the trait necessary for the classic Conquer ending:
  • One way to unlock that trait is to evolve The Truth, at the end of the branch starting with Trust Issues and Unwillingness
  • The other is by evolving Succubus Queen, wich needs all the combat strength traits of the ability section. In simpler words, evolve all red and yellow traits in the upper half of the Abilities, they are just chained to each other, the exception being War Seduction that needs either Damned Seduction(in turn unlocked by evolving Abusive Instict) or Cursed Addiction(unlocked by Indulgence) before being evolved.

And now onto the actual secret endings, they have three names each, one is the name of the character rapresented in the pop-up that appears once the ending is triggered(the images being the same as the ones used in the second image of the slideshow), the other is the main theme of the ending and the third being the verb used in the pop-up title, since all use the formula "Succubi/Succubus Queen *verb* humanity/the world"

Without further ado, there are the alternative endings

Riviena/Terminal Corruption/Corrupt
This is the easiest ending to discover, just evolve Succubus Queen, then Void Clock and wait about a month. You can't get this ending if the Hybrid Mechanic is activated, but the penalty to cure speed and strength from the trait will still apply

Hybrid/Empowering hybrids/Execute
This is still a relatively easy ending to get, just trigger the Hybrid ending(have the cure started and over 800 days passed since the start) and infect as many people as you can. Remember that, while the mechanic is active, you get additional infections and deaths based on your lethality, but ape lethality increases along with it (unless it's below 20, in which case ape lethality remains the same as if it was 20) and strength is always set to 0 so chopping victims with attacks isn't that effective. The Hybrid mechanic cannot trigger if you have evolved Void Clock before it

Shanoa/Self-destruction hybrids/Forgive
This is the ending most people got by accident before I tried to fix it. After triggering the hybrids mechanic do your best to just survive through it. After a month the event triggers, but if the number of succubi is below a theresold, the counter is x10 times slower(and the ape lethality drops to being a third of lethality instead of half). The first time you drop below that theresold an event will announce it.

Shanoa(again)/RPTA's start/Spare
This is, along with the other Shanoa ending, the closest thing to a good ending you can get, though it's mostly in the grey area rather, but I already talked about that at the starting pop-ups. This is the most complicated ending to achieve, as you must be left with less than a million healty people, but with
  1. Pure Evil unevolved
  2. Lethality being less than 50
  3. Strength being less than 15. All the combat abilities amount to this exact number, the indulgence branch can counter its side branch, but can't counter the Trust Issues/Unwillingness branch(and of course can't counter both). Too complicated? Just go deep down the Indulgence Branch and evolve Superior Cause, as with Graces strength caps at 15 (while with erinyes it caps at 30) and lethality is set to 0
  4. Don't trigger the zombiefication combo(see below)
  5. Don't have the Erinyes mechanic activated(Apathic Erinyes is ok instead)
The first time you supercede the theresold of lethality a pop-up about their thirst for blood changing their appearence will come, the first time you supercede the strength one, you will get a pop-up about succubi showing extreme reflexes, strength or agility, the second triggering if you have more than 50 lethality as well, the third if you have Apathic Erinyes active, the latter of this order takes priority over the one that comes before him when deciding wich will pop-up
If you have Succubus Queen evolved and less than 20% of Italy is healty a dialogue will start between the Pope and the Succubus Queen, depending on what you are doing right and wrong about this ending, her answer changes
  • If she just blasts him you have Pure Evil evolved
  • If she says to not waste breath and to keep it for suffering, you have Erinyes activated
  • If she decapitates him you have more than 15 strength and less than 50 lethality
  • If she pierces through his gut you have more than 50 lethality and less than 15 strength
  • If she Bullet Climaxes him into nothingness you have BOTH more than 50 lethality and more than 15 strength
  • If she assassinates him you have the Apathic Erinyes activated
  • If she doubts him actually wanting to stop them and corrupts him, you have Obedience evolved
  • If she challanges him to show them another way you are doing it all right
There are as well other two events that indicate this, but both only have a 50% chance of triggering. The first consists in anarchists trying to kill the USA president. This might trigger after you leave USA with less than 20% healty population and with quite a bit of awareness from the country. How succubi will affect the attempt will say what you are doing with this ending.
  • If you have either Pure Evil evolved or Erinyes active, they will ambush both the attackers and the defenders
  • The same happens if you have more than 50 lethality but less than 15 strength
  • If you have too few succubi in USA the attack will be successful
  • If you have both more than 15 strength and more than 50 lethality, succubi will save the president, in the fight they will destroy the surroundings and tell the president that they only did it because he had to die from them
  • The same will happen if strength is less than 15, with the difference that instead of destroying the surroundings in battle, they kill the leader and accept the other's surrender
  • If they still accept the surrender but instead just tell the president that what they did means nothing, you have both parameters below the theresold.
The last event that recognizes how you are faring with this ending is a rockfall threatening a village in China. You need to have Elemental Manipulation evolved and at least 200.000 people healty in China. Unlike the previous one, it can recognize if you have the Zombies or Obedience active, but can't recognize if you have superceded the lethality theresold and reacts to Apathic Erinyes. The priority of the pop-ups goes in this order, starting from the one with higher priority
  • If you have Obedience active they will save the people but then they will corrupt them
  • If you have the Zombies active they will save them by zombifying them
  • If you have either more than 15 strength, Pure Evil evolved, Erinyes or Apathic Erinyes active, they will kill everyone in the village
  • If none of the above applies they will save them and refuse to say the reason

Liliana/Zombie/Mutate
While the ending of before is the most complicated, this one is the most unintuitive. You must activate a combo that needs Ruthless Genocide(penultimate trait of external branch of symptoms,the one starting with Damned Seduction and dependant on Abusive Instict) and Life & Death, dependant on Succubus Queen. Once you have triggered the combo, two trees will be unlocked in the transmission section and a pop-up will appear along with another one explaining the two trees you just unlocked and the three ways to play this ending. You will ultimately win once no healty people are left
