Only 0.2% of Players Unlocked the Harsh Tyranny Ending in Avowed

In the sprawling world of Avowed, where multiple endings await, the Tyranny ending 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 allegiance 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, resulting in profound isolation and scorn. The Inquisitor's eventual bestowal of knighthood feels hollow, a meaningless reward in the face of shattered relationships.

Big Dan Gaming's recent YouTube walkthrough provides a guide to navigating this treacherous path and avoiding early failure, ultimately earning the rare "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently supporting Edairian or anti-Sapadal viewpoints during crucial story moments. While few players choose this route, the Tyranny ending powerfully showcases the weight of player choices in Avowed.

Obsidian Entertainment's refined approach in Avowed creates a gameplay experience reminiscent of Baldur's Gate 3, where quests dynamically adapt to player actions, and NPCs remember even seemingly insignificant decisions. This meticulous attention to detail fosters a rich, responsive narrative that richly rewards thoughtful play.
