Endings

**Endings** are outcomes at the end of each completed run. They are all different and depend on the player's route through the game, each route also has it's own achievements to get.

## Pacifist Ending

To achieve this ending, the player is required to **spare all the bosses** after reducing their health to 1, this condition is still met even if the player fails to defeat the boss and that boss decided to spare the player instead of executing them, see this section for more info over the chances.

Upon reaching the Eden's Gate, Terrable appears, casts a powerful spell that annihilates the Gate, before looking back at the player and says one of the following:

* *You should never have let me live.*
* *You will fall.*
* **Vs. Hazel:** *You build, I destroy.*
* **Vs. Terra:** *You're nothing without me!*
* **Vs. Terra:** *Looking for me? I thought you were done with me.*

And then the battle between the player and Terrable starts.

Upon "defeating" Terrable, she will heal 500 HP and continuously deal a 1000 damage hit till you reach 1 Health Point and starts charging the same attack she used to destroy the gate while saying one of the following:

* *Goodnight.*
* *Never should've come here.*
* *I'm ending this.*

As she fires the attack, the player is saved by Reva and heal them for 100 HP, being saved by Reva during the run including getting defeated by Terrable does not invalidate this event from happening meaning Reva can save you **twice** in total as one of them is fully scripted, if the player is playing as Reva she will instead be saved by Saffron by taking all the damage and immediately get revived by Second Soul.

Terrable surprised, replies with "*The hell..."* as she tries again to cast the same attack to finish the player off, but she get immediately attacked by all the other heroes the player spared (including the Shopkeeper if fought and then spared), one by one doing their unique execution attack that they would have used on the player instead, as Terrable become overwhelmed she proceed to collapse on the ground from all the blows she's taken, she replies with "*I... Can't move.*" in front of everyone, after that the player has the decision to spare or kill Terrable which alternates the ending.

### Sparing Terrable

If Terrable was spared, she replies with "*... You're letting me... live? Again? ..... Eden is open. We can go in... Together.*" as she stands up and go to the right to enter Eden.

A scene plays showing Terrable collapsing and exhausted, the player approaches her and give her a hand, she smiles as the scene transitions to a one where it shows everyone together entering Eden for the first time before the scene fades to black.

This ending unlocks the achievement "Happily Ever After" (spare Terrable).

### Execute Terrable

If the player execute Terrable by dealing any instance of damage she shouts "*NOOO-*" as the whole screen fade into white.

A scene plays showing Terrable collapsing and exhausted, the player approaches her and their shadow covers them, as Terrable looks back at them, her eyes shows her being horrified and the music in the background starts fading instead of continuing, as you hear Terrable doing her final breath in fear, the scene immediately cuts to black as you hear slashing sound, executing Terrable, the scene then moves to where it shows everyone together (except Terrable) entering Eden for the first time before the scene fades to black.

This ending unlocks the achievement "Terrable" (execute Terrable).

### Post-Credit

During the credits scene a picture shows everyone together enjoying a meal in Eden and smiling to the camera, ***if Terrable was spared:*** Terrable is sitting with everyone and holding a glass of wine in the picture, ***if Terrable was executed:*** the chair remains empty.

As part of the game over showing text to emphasize on how far you were from Eden, the text is instead replaced with "*Made it to Eden*".

## Neutral Ending

The neutral ending is achieved by neither killing or sparing all the bosses and is considered the middle ground between Pacifist (spare all) and Genocide (kill all).

Once you reach Eden, you are going to face the Gate as your final obstacle and you must destroy it to enter, by that point also you unlock the achievement "One Step from Eden" (reach the gate).

Upon destroying the gate, Serif appears, she has a ridicules amount of Health, Defense and Spell Power and judges the player for their crimes and tell them one of the following lines:

* *You... You think you can just force your way into Eden???*
* *Again? Your LoV is too high.*
* *Forgive other people when they sin against you.*
* *This is not the way.*
* *I won't let a murderer like you into Eden.*

After that she launches a sword attack on all the player's tiles that deals enough damage to one shot the player no matter how large their health is, Reva does not appear to save you even if you spared her and things like Reflector Gem and Reflector cannot be utilized against the attack, however if you have a source of Invincibility (e.g. Pocket Sand or Phase Plates w/Pinch) or playing as Saffron and still has Second Soul, the player can survive the attack.

If the player survives the attack, Serif comments upon it with one of the following lines:

* *That's cute.*
* *Ahuh.*
* *Have some more swords.*

Before doing the same attack again and kill the player for good, the run ends, as you hear the defeat music playing in the background and showing a summary of the run when you lose, the sentence "One Step from Eden" is shown emphasizing on the name of the game and how far you were from achieving your goal.

## Genocide Ending

To achieve this ending the player must do the following:

* Execute all bosses you encounter.
* Execute the shopkeeper.
* Defeat Serif and cast Yami on her.

If you are playing as the Shopkeeper, you simply need to execute all bosses you encounter and then defeat Serif, by default the shopkeeper has Yami (but is never utilized during the run till you defeat Serif).

Upon reaching Eden after executing all bosses, instead of facing the Gate or Terrable like in the other endings, you instead enter Eden and acts as a world with zones that you need to overcome, with it's unique enemies that are more difficult to face in comparison to the previous worlds, the world will act like normal and even have points where you can rest for health points and even buy from the Shop if the Shopkeeper wasn't killed yet, upon reaching the boss point you face Serif who proceed to say "*So... You finally made it to Eden. Before you fight me you should know that... I make my own rules.*", before casting a spell that modifies the entire Battle Grid and turning it from the blue and red squares into grey, allowing the player to step on the enemy field at will, this is also true for Serif.

And then the fight begins, see Serif boss fight page for info over how to defeat her.

Upon reducing Serif health to 1 health like in every boss fight, she will immediately heal and says:

> "*You know... You can't kill me. I'm immortal... so you might be trying a bit too hard. My duty is to protect Eden, but I guess it's a bit late for that. The only way is to turn everything back... Maybe you'll make better choices next time. As fun as that was, I have to clean up this mess you've made. Feel free to stop by again.*"
>
>

Before she rewinds time, subsequently "looping" the run, allowing the player to continue with everything they have with tougher enemies and high tier items and the game continue to scale, the player can even decide to transform the run into a Neutral or Pacifist run, but if they try again to do a Genocide run, they can pretty much loop infinitely as much as they want as long as the Shopkeeper stays alive.

If the player loops for the first time they will earn the achievement "Back to the Past" (beat Serif and get sent back).

### Shopkeeper Executed

If shopkeeper was executed or playing as the Shopkeeper, at some point during that dialogue, the player will instantly and forcefully Shuffle and give them a lot of Yami spells to cast, if the player cast Yami on Serif during that dialogue or as she is about to rewind time, she will stop what she's doing and collapse on the ground as she takes 9999 damage multiple times, shouting "*What the **HELL IS HAPPENING TO ME? AHHHH-***" as she gets executed before the entire screen fades into white.

A scene plays showing Serif in combat position and then a scene showing the player casting Yami causing her to collapse, losing her wings before she closes her eyes and fade out of existence, menacing and ominous music starts playing showing the location where this battle took place before fading to black and immediately cutting to a scene showing the player watching Eden being burned and destroyed in front of them, before the scene fades yet again into darkness, destroying Eden and ending the run once and for all.

This ending unlocks the achievement "Sans-Serif" (execute Serif).

### Post-Credit

During the credits, an image shows the same exact location the battle took place but even far more damaged that the roof was removed entirely.

As part of the game over showing text to emphasize on how far you were from Eden, the text is instead replaced with "*Destroyed Eden*", additionally the player's health in the top left is modified to 9999 Max HP.

## Trivia

* If somehow you were able to kill Serif when she appears on the gate to judge you, the run all of a sudden transform into Genocide and she loops the player.
	+ This can be achieved by having a source of Invincibility to dodge the first attack and then use Wings to dodge the falling sword that is meant to finish you off after "surviving" the first attack, followed by constantly attacking her for as long as it takes.
* If the player doesn't use Yami on Serif, they can loop the run and still have Yami in their deck, and their HP will be increased to 9999. By that point they are insanely over powered that they can one shot anything, this is intentionally left by the developers.
* If you are playing as Terra and execute Terrable in the Pacifist route, the scenes end up looking awkward as you never appear in any of them, as Terrable and Terra are emphasized as the same person.
* When playing Reva on pacifist, Saffron saving her and getting revived makes no sense as Second Soul is a one time use and part of Saffron's boss fight is that she uses Second Soul upon taking fatal damage, meaning she used it twice.
