In the vast and immersive universe of Avowed, players can explore multiple endings, each shaped by their choices. Among these, the Tyranny ending stands out as one of the most challenging and rarely achieved conclusions. According to statistics, only 0.2% of players have managed to unlock this haunting finale, which requires a dedicated commitment to a path filled with destruction 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 ideology, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. Over time, companions will 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.
YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming recently released a comprehensive walkthrough that guides players through this challenging path, helping them avoid early defeat and ultimately unlock the rare "Tyranny" achievement. This involves staunchly supporting Edairian or anti-Sapadal positions during critical story moments. While few dare to tread this path, the 'Tyranny' ending underscores the significant influence of player choices in Avowed.
As Obsidian Entertainment continues to hone its craft, Avowed delivers a gaming experience akin to Baldur's Gate 3, where quests dynamically evolve based on player actions, and NPCs remember even seemingly minor decisions. This meticulous attention to detail creates a rich, responsive narrative that deeply rewards players for their thoughtful engagement.
