In the vast and immersive world of Avowed, players are confronted with multiple endings, each offering a unique narrative closure. Among these, the Tyranny ending stands out as particularly harsh and rarely achieved. Data reveals that only 0.2% of players have managed to unlock this chilling conclusion, which requires a steadfast commitment to a path of devastation and betrayal.
To achieve the Tyranny ending, players must fully embrace the oppressive doctrines of the Steel Garrote order and their fanatical Inquisitor. Every crucial choice must reflect their ruthless ideology, 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 hollow gesture of recognition, devoid of any meaningful connections.
Big Dan Gaming, a popular YouTube channel, recently released a comprehensive walkthrough that guides players through this challenging path, helping them avoid early defeat and unlock the elusive "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently supporting Edairian or anti-Sapadal viewpoints during key story moments. Although few dare to tread this route, the 'Tyranny' ending underscores the significant influence of player choices in Avowed.
As Obsidian Entertainment continues to hone its craft, Avowed delivers a gameplay experience akin to Baldur's Gate 3, with quests that dynamically evolve based on player actions and NPCs that remember even minor decisions. This meticulous attention to detail crafts a rich, interactive narrative that deeply rewards players for their thoughtful engagement.
