In the vast and intricate world of Avowed, where players can explore multiple endings, the Tyranny finale stands out as one of the most unforgiving and rarely achieved conclusions. Data reveals that only 0.2% of players have managed to unlock this chilling ending, which requires a steadfast commitment to a path filled with devastation and betrayal.
To achieve the Tyranny ending, players must fully embrace the oppressive doctrines of the Steel Garrote order and their zealous Inquisitor. Every crucial decision must reflect their brutal philosophy, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. As the game progresses, companions will inevitably turn against the protagonist, leaving them isolated and despised. Despite this isolation, the Inquisitor bestows the title of knight as a token of recognition—a reward that loses its significance in the absence of any meaningful relationships.
Big Dan Gaming, a popular YouTube channel, recently released a detailed walkthrough on how to navigate this challenging path without succumbing to early defeat, ultimately unlocking the elusive "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently advocating for Edairian or anti-Sapadal positions during key story moments. Although few dare to tread this path, the 'Tyranny' ending underscores the significant impact of player choices within Avowed.
As Obsidian Entertainment continues to hone its storytelling prowess, Avowed delivers a gaming experience reminiscent of Baldur's Gate 3, where quests dynamically evolve based on player actions, and NPCs remember even the smallest of choices. This meticulous attention to detail ensures a rich, responsive narrative that deeply rewards players for their thoughtful engagement.
