Endings

This page is a work in progress. You can help the wiki by *adding to it*.

***THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
WATCH OUT NOW!***

Streets of Rogue ends after you complete the Mayor Village level. There are 2 main endings and both involve the Mayor's Hat.

# Good Endings

To get the good ending, you must acquire the Mayor's Hat from the Mayor and give a speech at Podium. Once the speech finishes, the Epilogue will play. There are a number of different ways to get the Mayor's Hat:

## Option 1: Neutralize the Mayor

   This can be done via any method of neutralization, either directly or indirectly. It will award the Achievement *Hostile Takeover*.

* Kill him.

* Knock him out, using a Tranquilizer Gun or Chloroform Hankie.

* Arrest him.

* Enslave him.

* Zombify him using Zombiism or Zombie Phlegm.

## Option 2: Take the Hat

   Become the new Mayor without neutralizing him or winning the election. This will award the Achievement *Peaceful Takeover* .

* Ask him for his hat. (Need to use a Hypnotizer first)

* Threaten him for his hat.

* Buy the hat for $1500 with Art of the Deal.

* Pickpocket the hat from him.

## Option 3: Win the Election

   Have a positive Electability by the time you reach Mayor Village. Doing so will award the Achievement *Legal Takeover*.

* Have your ***Electability (City)*** be 1 or more.
* Go to a golden building in Mayor Village, talk to a Clerk and select "**Run for Mayor**".
* The Clerk will then tell you that the results are in and to meet him in the park.
* Once him and the Mayor reach the podium area you can ask the Clerk to tell the results.
	+ If your Electability is greater than 1 you will be announced the winner and be able to take the Hat from the Mayor after talking to him

# Bad Ending

   To get the bad ending, you must destroy the Mayor's Hat by "losing it down a hole". That will award the Achievement *The Bad Ending*.

## Methods

* Mayor Village sometimes has pits surrounded by iron fences. Destroy part of the fence, drop the Hat, then throw/knock it into the pit.

* Knock the Hat off the edge of the map.
	+ The easiest way to reach the level's edge is to use a Giantizer and to walk through the level's walls until you reach the edge. From here, you can drop the hat and push it off the edge.

* Pushing the Mayor into a pit/off the map while he is wearing the Mayor's Hat will also trigger the Bad Ending.

# EPILOGUE

The epilogue is a series of textboxes that are displayed after player gives their speech in the Good Ending or immediately after obtaining the Bad Ending.

## Good Endings

The first textbox explains how the player acquired the Mayor's Hat.

## Custom Characters

The second textbox changes slightly if you are playing a Custom Character.

The remaining textboxes are always the same:

* *In time, the mayor became corrupted by power, money, and bacon cheeseburgers, prompting the formation of a new Resistance.*
* *Events repeated themselves in an infinite loop. This came to be known as "the circle of life".*
* *Some might consider this to be a beautiful thing. Others might consider the whole process to be ultimately kinda pointless.*
* *But at this moment, no one in the city is interested in pondering the nature of existence.*
* *No, there is only one thing on everyone's minds, the only thing in this world that truly matters...*
* *...partying down.*

This textbox is added if you killed everyone around the podium, you don't have to kill everyone inside the district, but rather neutralise everyone around or near the podium and is close enough to hear the speech.

At this point, everyone listening to the new Mayor's speech will begin to dance and the credits will roll. After they finish, a final end of level statistics box will be shown. After closing the box, you will return to Home Base.

BAD ENDING

The textboxes for the bad ending are always the same. The screen will immediately fade to black as the first textbox appears.

* *And so, the Mayor's hat fell down a hole, making it impossible for anyone to assume power.*
* *The city's denizens had no idea what to do without an all-powerful figure in office controlling their lives, and the city descended into chaos.*
* *The Resistance members, finding themselves without an enemy to rally against, got all super depressed and existential.*
* *So in other words, congratulations on finding the "bad ending".*
* *There will be no "partying down" for you! Not this time.*

The credits will roll without music. After they finish, a final end of level statistics box will be displayed. After closing the box, you will return to Home Base.
