In the expansive world of Avowed, where multiple endings await exploration, the Tyranny finale stands out as one of the most unforgiving and least encountered outcomes. According to statistics, only 0.2% of players have successfully unlocked this chilling conclusion, which requires a path steeped in devastation and betrayal.
To achieve the Tyranny ending, players must fully embrace the oppressive ideals of the Steel Garrote order and their zealous Inquisitor. Every critical decision must align with their brutal philosophy, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. Over time, companions will turn against the protagonist, leaving them isolated and reviled. Despite this isolation, the Inquisitor bestows the title of knight as a gesture of recognition—a reward that feels hollow in the absence of any meaningful relationships.
YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming recently shared a comprehensive walkthrough on how to navigate this treacherous path while avoiding premature defeat, ultimately unlocking the rare "Tyranny" achievement. This involves steadfastly championing Edairian or anti-Sapadal stances during pivotal moments in the story. Though few venture down this road, the 'Tyranny' ending underscores the profound impact of player choices in Avowed.
As Obsidian Entertainment continues to refine its craft, Avowed offers a gameplay experience akin to Baldur's Gate 3, where quests dynamically adapt based on player actions, and NPCs remember even seemingly trivial decisions. This attention to detail ensures a rich, responsive narrative that rewards thoughtful engagement.
