Ending A: flowers for m[A]chines

Play through the game for the first time and complete all of the Main Story Quests.

Ending B: or not to []e

Load the cleared save from beating the game once and earning Ending A. Play through this playthrough and complete all of the Main Story Quests to achieve this ending.

Ending C: meaningless [C]ode

During your third playthrough, choose A2 during the final boss. Then select the dialogue option "No" to POD's request during the end credits

Ending D: chil[D]hood’s end

During your third playthrough, choose 9S for the final boss battle. During the text portion, you'll have 2 choices: "I'll go with you" or "I'll stay". Choosing either results in this ending.

Ending E: the [E]nd of yorha

After earning endings C and D, finish the game once more as either A2 or 9S. During the credits, Pod will speak up. Accept the option that says you wanted them to live. You'll then play through a bullet storm mini game. Make it to the end and beat it to unlock the ending.

PS. Do not give up!

Ending F: mission [F]ailed

In chapter 01-03_2, after Engles knocks 9S onto it's back, fail to repair your system by letting the timer run out.

Ending G: hun[G]ry for knowledge

Right after Ending A, when you begin the second playthrough walk 9S to the crane and neglect the mission.

Ending H: a mountain too [H]igh

Leave the area when the Goliath is in the city, thus abandoning the mission. Attempt to go to the Amusement Park instead of the City Ruins.

Ending I: no in team

In your first playthrough, defeat the boss at the Copied City and then walk away from 9S.

Ending J: bad [J]udgement

In chapter 09-01_3, kill the pastor.

Ending K: aji wo [K]utta

Complete the Jackass mission in the desert. You'll receive an email from Jackass then about a fish. Speak to her at the Desert Camp to obtain the Mackerel Key Item. Eat it to earn this ending.

Ending L: [L]one wolf

In chapter 10-02 run away from the sphere boss fight or run away in chapter 10-01_3 instead of saving the refugee camp.

Ending M: break ti[M]e

Don't go to Pascal's Village when it's attacked while playing as A2. Running to the Factory instead should trigger this.

Ending N: [N]o Man's Village

Destroy every machine in Pascal's village.

Ending O: just y[O]u and me

When 2B is struck with an EMP and YoRHa units are infected and attack 9S, run away from the fight.

Ending P: corru

tion

Die from the virus in chapter 11-06

Ending Q: [Q]uestionable actions

In chapter 11-07, don't go to 2B's location near the commercial facility. Heading to the desert area instead should trigger this ending.

Ending R: mave[R]ick

During chapter 14-05, attack the peaceful robots by Pascal.

Ending S: city e[S]cape

Abandon Devola and Popola when they are protecting you while you are hacking the tower.

Ending T: fa[T]al error

To earn this ending just remove your OS chip.

Ending U: deb[]nked

To earn this ending, activate your self destruct while in the Bunker.

Ending V: reckless bra[V]ery

You can earn this ending on your third playthrough. When you have to hack the tower with 9S in chapter 17-01, don't. Instead, keep fighting the waves of energies with your allies until they fall.

Ending W: broken [W]ings

In the prologue when 2B flies into the factory, let yourself get killed by the giant laser/Die during the prologue in general.

Ending X: time to rela[X]

Don't help 2B as A2 when they meet at the commercial center close to full virus contamination.

Ending Y: head[Y] battle

Allow Emil to self destruct at the end of the boss fight in the quest "Emil's Determination".

Ending Z: over[Z]ealous

Kill Pascal after saving her as A2.

A faster way to get ending Q is to just head for the amusement park manhole, since that's much closer to where you start 11-07. This is how I got the ending, so I can confirm that it works.

for ending M, you can instead advance further into the resistance camp towards the storage area. learned that one the hard way.

So the requirement for the main ending is just finishing the main quest then? Whew thank god

Sjark 4 Dec, 2018 @ 2:38am

Feel like most of these endings you'd never get unintentionally unless you were a bad player (i.e. getting lost easily or not paying attention at all)

Thanks for the guide btw

Hi, i am on second playthrough. Devola, Popola and the machines don't show up when 9S hacking the tower. Is there anything wrong because i remember my first play through, lot of machines appear to attack 9S in this chapter.

@CYBORG RANGER It is not wrong to question things … The fact that you’re asking questions shows that you’re five levels of wisdom above the idiot who’s objecting to you asking the questions.

@Sennzai thanks havent completed the b c and d playthrough but thanks for the response should have done more research first on this and my grammer.

Sennzai [author] 1 Aug, 2017 @ 4:15pm

@CYBORG RANGER no you don't have to restart the whole game, load your ending save and use Fast Travel box to choose the chapter.

TigerMom 1 Aug, 2017 @ 11:16am
