In the vast universe of Avowed, where multiple endings beckon adventurers, the Tyranny finale stands out as one of the most harrowing and rarely achieved conclusions. Only 0.2% of players have managed to unlock this chilling outcome, which requires a steadfast dedication to 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 crucial decision must reflect their brutal ideology, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. Over time, companions will inevitably turn against the protagonist, leaving them isolated and despised. Despite this isolation, the Inquisitor bestows the title of knight as a hollow gesture of recognition—meaningless without any meaningful relationships to share it with.
Big Dan Gaming, a popular YouTube channel, recently released a detailed walkthrough on how to navigate this challenging path without succumbing to early defeat, ultimately securing the elusive "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently advocating for Edairian or anti-Sapadal positions during critical story moments. Although few dare to tread this path, the 'Tyranny' ending exemplifies the significant impact of player choices within Avowed.
As Obsidian Entertainment continues to hone its storytelling prowess, 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 deeply engaging and responsive narrative that rewards players for their thoughtful engagement.
