In the vast universe of Avowed, where the narrative branches into multiple endings, the Tyranny finale stands out as one of the most challenging and rarest outcomes. According to statistics, only 0.2% of players have unlocked this daunting conclusion, which requires a path filled with devastation and betrayal.
To achieve the Tyranny ending, players must fully embrace the oppressive doctrines of the Steel Garrote order and their zealous Inquisitor. Every significant decision must reflect their harsh philosophy, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. As the story progresses, 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.
The YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming recently provided a detailed walkthrough on how to navigate this perilous journey while avoiding an early demise, ultimately unlocking the elusive "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently supporting Edairian or anti-Sapadal positions during critical story moments. Although few dare to tread this path, the 'Tyranny' ending underscores the significant impact of player choices in Avowed.
As Obsidian Entertainment continues to hone its craft, Avowed delivers a gameplay experience akin to Baldur's Gate 3, where quests dynamically evolve based on player actions, and NPCs remember even the smallest decisions. This meticulous attention to detail ensures a deep, responsive narrative that rewards thoughtful engagement.
