In the vast and intricate world of Avowed, players can explore a variety of endings, but none are as harsh and rare as the Tyranny finale. Statistics reveal that only 0.2% of players have managed to unlock this chilling conclusion, which requires a steadfast commitment to a path filled with devastation and betrayal.
To achieve the Tyranny ending, players must fully embrace the oppressive tenets of the Steel Garrote order and their zealous Inquisitor. Every crucial decision must reflect their brutal philosophy, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. Over time, companions will abandon the protagonist, leaving them isolated and despised. Despite this isolation, the Inquisitor bestows the title of knight as a hollow gesture of recognition, devoid of any meaningful connections.
The YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming recently provided a comprehensive walkthrough on how to navigate this challenging path without succumbing to early defeat, ultimately unlocking the elusive "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently advocating for Edairian or anti-Sapadal positions during key story moments. Though 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 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 seemingly minor decisions. This meticulous attention to detail crafts a rich, responsive narrative that deeply rewards players for their thoughtful engagement.
