In the vast universe of Avowed, where multiple endings await discovery, the Tyranny finale stands out as one of the most unforgiving and rarely achieved conclusions. Statistics reveal that only 0.2% of players have managed to unlock this chilling outcome, 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 harsh 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 feels hollow without any meaningful relationships.
Big Dan Gaming, a popular YouTube channel, recently released a walkthrough that guides players through this perilous journey, helping them avoid early defeat and ultimately unlock the elusive "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently supporting Edairian or anti-Sapadal positions during key story moments. Although few choose to tread this path, the 'Tyranny' ending underscores the significant impact of player choices in Avowed.
As Obsidian Entertainment continues to hone its skills, Avowed delivers a gameplay experience akin to Baldur's Gate 3, where quests evolve dynamically based on player actions, and NPCs remember even the smallest decisions. This meticulous attention to detail creates a rich, responsive narrative that rewards players for their thoughtful engagement.
