In the vast universe of Avowed, where diverse paths lead to multiple endings, the Tyranny finale stands out as one of the rarest and most challenging conclusions. Data shows that only 0.2% of players have managed to unlock this grim resolution, which demands unwavering commitment to a path fraught with destruction and betrayal.
To achieve the Tyranny ending, players must fully embrace the oppressive ideology of the Steel Garrote order and its fervent Inquisitor. Every key decision must align with their ruthless philosophy, leading to the annihilation of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. Over time, companions will abandon the protagonist, leaving them isolated and despised. Even with this solitude, the Inquisitor bestows the title of knight as a token of acknowledgment—a hollow honor given the lack of genuine connections.
Recently, the YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming released a walkthrough outlining how to traverse this perilous route without meeting an early end, culminating in the elusive "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently supporting Edairian or anti-Sapadal perspectives during crucial moments in the storyline. Although few embark on this journey, the Tyranny ending highlights the significant influence of player choices in Avowed.
As Obsidian Entertainment refines its storytelling prowess, Avowed delivers gameplay 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 creates a rich, interactive narrative that rewards deliberate engagement.
