In the vast world of Avowed, where the narrative branches into multiple endings, the Tyranny finale stands out as one of the most severe and rarest outcomes. Statistics reveal that only 0.2% of players have achieved this chilling conclusion, which requires a relentless commitment to a path marked by devastation and betrayal.
To unlock the Tyranny ending, players must fully embrace the oppressive doctrines of the Steel Garrote order and their fanatical Inquisitor. Every crucial decision must reflect their harsh ideology, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. As the story progresses, companions will inevitably turn against the protagonist, leaving them isolated and despised. Yet, in a hollow gesture of recognition, the Inquisitor bestows the title of knight—a reward that feels empty without any meaningful relationships to share it with.
The YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming recently provided a detailed walkthrough on how to navigate this challenging path without succumbing to early defeat, ultimately unlocking the elusive "Tyranny" achievement. This involves staunchly supporting Edairian or anti-Sapadal positions during critical story moments. Though few players choose this route, the 'Tyranny' ending underscores the significant impact of player choices in Avowed.
As Obsidian Entertainment hones its storytelling prowess, Avowed delivers a gameplay experience akin to Baldur's Gate 3, where quests evolve dynamically based on player actions, and NPCs remember even minor decisions. This meticulous attention to detail crafts a rich, responsive narrative that deeply rewards thoughtful engagement.
