In the vast world of Avowed, where multiple endings await, the Tyranny finale stands out as exceptionally challenging and rarely achieved. Statistics reveal only 0.2% of players have unlocked this bleak conclusion, a testament to its demanding path of devastation and betrayal.
Reaching the Tyranny ending requires unwavering commitment to the oppressive Steel Garrote order and their ruthless Inquisitor. Every choice must align with their brutal ideology, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. Companions will turn against the player, leaving them isolated and scorned. The Inquisitor's knightly title, bestowed as a reward, feels hollow amidst this desolation.
YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming recently provided a walkthrough guiding players through this difficult path to the elusive "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently supporting Edairian or opposing Sapadal during key story moments. While few embark on this journey, the Tyranny ending powerfully showcases the impact of player choices in Avowed.
Obsidian Entertainment's refined design in Avowed mirrors Baldur's Gate 3, featuring dynamic quests that adapt to player actions. NPCs remember even minor decisions, creating a richly responsive narrative that rewards careful consideration.
