Death's Gambit: Afterlife Endings

 

Return to Vados

As soon as you start the game after speaking to Vrael for the first time, instead of going right to trigger the first meeting with Death, go left and leave. You'll be given a prompt that asks you if you're sure to leave Siradon and return to Vados. Simply choose yes and you'll find Sorun back in Vados where he is sentenced to death by the king. This is considered a bad ending. You simply return back to the starting point where Sorun was killed during the expedition.

 

Ending A

ending-a-deaths-gambit-afterlife-wiki-guide

Conditions:

  • Complete 5 Heroic Boss matches
  • Sorun must have under 100 WILL
  • Choose to side with Death when given the choice

 

Ending A is the true ending of the game. Players will need to defeat five Heroic Boss battles before you face Endless at the top of Caer Siorai. During our playthrough, we've defeated the heroic battle of bosses such as Ione, Owlking, Soul of the Phoenix, The Bulwark of Aldwynn, and Tundra Lord Kaern. After defeating five of the bosses, head on over to Caer Siorai and fight Endless. Once she is defeated, interact with the Source of Immortality and a cutscene will trigger, which then takes you to the Afterlife location. After the cutscene, you will then need to make a choice, to side with Death or Thalamus. Simply choose to side with Death.

Next, you'll return to Caer Siorai and then fast travel to Garde Tum, head to the far west side of the map, towards the only locked door, and along the way, you'll encounter the AI that you met during your first arrival at Garde Tum. Follow the AI to the locked door which again is at the west side and it'll be unlocked for you, allowing yourself to enter the Chamber of Migration.Work your way through the facility and make sure to explore thoroughly and then defeat the Aberrant AI.

After defeating the boss, Death gives you a Soul Shard, fast travel to Fupris and head east towards the entrance of the underground of Caer Sioria where you first fought Endless. Approach the bodies of Vrael, Ione, and interact with it. Next, head to the boss arena in Caer Siorai where you fought Endless and choose to Soul Dive the body of Everly.

Once you've dealt with soul diving all three of your comrades, you'll be taken to another place where you will need to choose certain options to regain your memory. Here are the answers that follow:

  • My name is Sorun.
  • The Kingdom of Siradon holds the Source of Immortality.
  • Vrael initially didn't believe in me but grew to trust my abilities.
  • Death wants to eradicate immoratlity.
  • Ash was taken from our family by the Magisters of Vados.
  • My mother is Everly.
  • Ione joined Endless as a spy in order to destroy the source of immortality.
  • Thalamus has our souls all trapped in a looping nightmare.
  • Amulvaro warned me of great cosmic forces beyond my control.
  • Ash was arrested for killing his own father.

By choosing these options, Sorun will fully regain his memories and will arrive at the Collapsing Nightmare. Just go east until you reach a Death Idol, make sure to use it to save. Continue going east and by the ledge, you'll see a little girl. Interact with it to save her soul and head all the way down to the bottom of the area while you fight lesser versions of previous Bosses you've fought until you reunite with Vrael, Ione, and Endless. Eventually, you'll reach the end point of the location where you'll be drawn into Thalamus' void. Simply stay alive and interact with the orbs of light to regain your memory The answers are as follows:

  • The first king of Siradon is Sirad.
  • Bulwark gave me the double jump upgrade.
  • My contract with Death is complete once the source is destroyed.
  • Bysurge takes double damage when we are opposite polarities.

The Avatar of Thalamus then appears and you'll need to fight and defeat it in order to progress the story. A cutscene will then trigger once the Avatar of Thalamus' health reaches zero and you'll have to fight the boss for another round, only this time, you'll have help from your comrades. You'll receive the Eye of Thalamus and a +5 version of Nightmare Edge, as well as a Talent Point and 3000 Soul Shards for defeating the boss - approach the weakened Avatar of Thalamus and choose to "Defeat Thalamus".

The game then prompts the New Game + menu where you are given the option to select your difficulty. DO NOT CHOOSE SINCE THIS WILL BAIT YOU INTO A NEW GAME. Wait for a few seconds, and you'll see dialogues from your comrades telling Sorun to wake up. Eventually, Sorun awawkens and you'll be in Vados, the last area of this game. From here, make further preparations before heading outside for a final battle against the Avatar of Thalamus - again, you will receive help from Ione, Vrael, and Everly (Endless).

 

Ending B

Conditions:

  • Complete 5 Heroic Boss matches
  • Sorun must have under 100 WILL
  • Choose to side with Thalamus when given the choice
  • Alternatively: Automatically sides with Thalamus if WILL is over 100.

 

For ending B, the concept is quite similar Players will need to defeat five Heroic Boss battles before you face Endless at the top of Caer Siorai. During our playthrough, we've defeated the heroic battle of bosses such as IoneOwlkingSoul of the PhoenixThe Bulwark of Aldwynn, and Tundra Lord Kaern. After defeating five of the bosses, head on over to Caer Siorai and fight Endless. Once she is defeated, interact with the Source of Immortality and a cutscene will trigger, which then takes you to the Afterlife location. After the cutscene, you will then need to make a choice, to side with Death or Thalamus. Simply choose Thalamus over Death.

By choosing Thalamus, you will need to fight The Crow which is Death. Defeat the boss and shortly after the dialogue cutscene between Ash and Thalamus, leave the area To the Nexus of Souls to trigger New Game Plus, as well as Ending B.

 

Ending C

Conditions:

  • Kill Endless without completing 5 heroic Boss matches

 

This is the original ending of the game which also applies in the Afterlife expansion. The conditions are simple, kill all of the immortals, obtain the three sigils, defeat Endless and approach the Source of Immortality. Choose to destroy the source of immortality and a cutscene will follow where you will find all of the beings on Siradon loses their immortality and perishes. At the end of the credits, a familiar voice speaks to you and tells you that you've completed your task of containing the source of immortality, as well as freeing Sorun's mother. However, no one will remember the sacrifice that Sorun's mother has given, as well as not knowing that she has fallen in Caer Sioai - this then follows onto New Game Plus.

      You actually can access locations, loot, and boss fights of both A and B endings in one playthrough at the same time on PC, but only if you didn't interacted with source of immortality yet. Make a backup copy of your save file, interact with source of immortality, side with Thalamus, rest at first save spot in Afterlife, quit the game, replace your current environment.sav file with the one you've backed up. Now you can side with Death and access Afterlife at the same time.

        My first run ended after a fight with Endless near the door that required 3 sigils. I only completed two heroic fights. I was teleported underwater and sank to the bottom in the cutscene.

          I didn't read this before playing. But just want to let people know another route.

          I defeated endless before having 5 immortals and chose not to destroy the immortality orb.

          After that i got 5 immortals and returned to the orb. It only have me the option to approach the orb and then the sequence of ending A started.

          I did with death because he's like my friend at this point.

            note: if you go for ending B you cannot have access to two locations (Migration Chamber and Collapsing Nightmare) only appearing on ending A, same as going by ending A you don't get to access the Afterlife area only on ending B, and if you go for C no access to any of those 3 locations
