A Hero They Deserve

A Hero They Deserve

Leave the valley. Leave the family. Leave the job.

This page names dialogue, quest order, and who dies. The teaser above is safe.
Show how to get this ending

Setup

Available immediately after the prologue, at night, when Shadowstep is online. Does not save Laslea. Does not count for Duelist.

Steps

  1. West Briar Sloughs, west of Coward's Path Shrine: a broken bridge and an open gate.
  2. Night: Planeshift + Shadowstep up the canyon wall to the path. Enter. Choose "[leave the valley forever]".

The game still counts this as finishing the story for The Blood of Dawnwalker trophy.

The Folk Hero

The Folk Hero

Kill Brencis yourself. No Lacra. No Crake. The glory is yours alone.

This page names dialogue, quest order, and who dies. The teaser above is safe.
Show how to get this ending

Setup

Same court setup as Turncoat: three vassals down, max Infamy, A Deal with the Devil. Manual save. You can also skip the month and climb Greifberg after the prologue.

Steps

  1. At the parley, first line: "Enough. Time to End this." Fight him without allies.
  2. Early castle: at night, Planeshift + Shadowstep over the wall. You get an ending warning before the top.
  3. Side door (day or night): northwest of Vedera Shallows Shrine. Work with Father Florin after In the Name of the Father, or loot the Side Gate Key from Georghe the Rabid Duke at Racovitza's Bandit Camp on the east edge.

Polygon warned that walking into the castle immediately after the prologue is allowed and will destroy you.

The Knyazmaker

The Knyazmaker

Finish Crake and the Manumit. Take the castle with the rebellion.

This page names dialogue, quest order, and who dies. The teaser above is safe.
Show how to get this ending

Setup

Complete Crake's chain, then speak to him on Rise at Dawn. Distant Shadows → A Closer Look are optional (The Manumit trophy) and should be done before Rise at Dawn.

Steps

  1. The Firebrand → Shadows in the Woods → Where Loyalty Lies → What Hunts the Night → What Moves the Dead → Who Pulls the Strings → (optional) Distant Shadows → A Closer Look → Rise at Dawn → Fall Before Dusk.

PC Gamer: Crake showing up in the epilogue is tied to finishing Rise at Dawn.

The Patricide

The Patricide

Finish Lacra's chain. Stand with her when Brencis falls.

This page names dialogue, quest order, and who dies. The teaser above is safe.
Show how to get this ending

Setup

Complete Lacra's questline, then speak to her on Midnight Reckoning. Night of Horrors is optional (Misery Loves Company). Do not start Midnight Reckoning if you still need other month work — it is an ending door.

Steps

  1. A Friend Like This → Song of the Mountain → Hive and Seek → Our Rotten Roots → (optional) The Night of Horrors → Midnight Reckoning.
  2. Initiate the ending from Lacra, not from the sword option at the parley.

GameSpot: Night of Horrors and Midnight Reckoning appear together. Do Midnight Reckoning last.

The Turncoat / In the Nick of Time

The Turncoat

Strike a deal with Brencis. Get the family back. Someone else pays.

This page names dialogue, quest order, and who dies. The teaser above is safe.
Show how to get this ending

Setup

Esme surviving the prologue is not a universal ending requirement. PowerPyx clarified this on September 6; whether her death prevents In the Nick of Time remains unconfirmed. Check which family members are still available to rescue. Knock down Ambrus, Bakir, and Xanthe inside 30 days so Infamy maxes. Skip to the next day for the edict cutscene. Brencis then sends A Deal with the Devil. Manual save there. You also need the Manumit hideout on the map: Firebrand → Shadows in the Woods → Where Loyalty Lies.

Steps

  1. First line: "I just want my family back." Third line: "I'll do it." Do not pick the sword option that starts the fight.
  2. Mark the Manumit hideout. At night, interact with the hideout door.
  3. PowerPyx describes a betrayal offer during Lacra’s finale. Its claim of a similar agreement during Crake’s finale conflicts with PC Gamer’s account. Native dialogue confirms negotiation wording exists, not that this route always enables it. Keep Crake’s negotiation outcome unconfirmed.

PowerPyx: easiest path for Duelist. Endings 1–4 count for that trophy. 5–7 do not.

Time Runs Out

The 30 days close. The family dies in the castle. The valley does not.

This page names dialogue, quest order, and who dies. The teaser above is safe.
Show how to get this ending

Setup

Wait at shrines until more than 30 in-game days have passed after the prologue. Cutscene: family sacrificed at Greifberg.

Steps

  1. You can still free-roam. PowerPyx comments: other endings remain available; going over 30 days mainly kills In the Nick of Time and blocks Turncoat's family rescue.

Do not farm this on a Duelist file.

Together Forever

Together Forever

Stay in the dream with the family. Do not climb out of the well.

This page names dialogue, quest order, and who dies. The teaser above is safe.
Show how to get this ending

Setup

Xanthe court activity. Inside Silts Tower, top-floor door, "[open the door]". Starts Home Sweet Home. Early "bad" ending. Not Duelist.

Steps

  1. The door dumps you into a looping dream: run, two enemy groups, insect boss.
  2. The game pushes you toward a well after the first loop. Ignore it. Clear four full cycles. On the fifth you talk to the family and stay.
  3. To escape later: reload the autosave before the fourth boss kill, inspect the well in Focus (L2/LT), follow Alin → Esme → Coen in the church flashback, then the red stump and Clawride. Loot the attacking enemy for Astrologer's Ring.

PowerPyx documented the escape as a separate loot path, not as undoing the trophy.
