Understanding Avowed’s Rare Ending
Avowed’s most elusive ending, only seen by 0.2% of players, requires impeccable decision-making throughout the game. This particular outcome, notorious for its brutal consequences, brings your journey to a close with a shocking twist. As you finish Avowed, it’s essential to comprehend the impact of choices made at each significant quest juncture to prevent dire fates, including an unexpected beheading!
The Path to the Steel Garrote Ending
Throughout the game, players are subtly guided towards choosing the antagonist, Lödwyn, who leads the fanatical Steel Garrote paladins. Unlike other endings, aligning with Lödwyn does not result in being locked out due to prior decisions. However, inconsistency in your beliefs can lead to a treacherous outcome; if you fail to align with her vision, the game can end with a gruesome twist: Lödwyn executing you and narrating an accelerated ending sequence.
Key Choices to Avoid Execution
If you seek the “Tyranny” achievement while ensuring your survival, specific choices are paramount. First, players must kill Ygwulf in Paradis, allow the Steel Garrote to burn Fior, enable Kostya to destroy Solace Keep, and finally, eliminate Sapadal in the Garden. Completing these actions aligns you with Lödwyn’s approval, thus avoiding the fatal end while granting a knighthood instead. Remember, this path comes at the cost of your companions’ loyalty, solidifying that choosing wisely is critical in Avowed.
