Endings

[alkeides 2.0]

OK I have seen all the basic endings.

Endings with different gods

Save and serve him Agathoth
Kill him
Let Balzaar merge with Meru, serve him
Release Agathoth, kill Meru for him
Absorb Balzaar and become a god yourself

But I don't have the following achievements:

Burn It
Sleeping Dogs
Desperate Times

Which I assume are all related to different endings.

How to get them?

Thanks

Sleeping Dogs is easy, just choose the "Tell your master that the Temple doesn't exist" when clicking the Tomb/life support thing. The rest...I'm curious as well.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Burn it - kill all 3 lords, directly or indirectly, then go to the temple
Desperate times - use the divine spear when fighting Balzaar

 

[Jaedar]

Burn it - kill all 3 lords, directly or indirectly, then go to the temple

Is there a way to do this without joining IG in Teron?

 

[Forest Dweller]

VD's said multiple times that there are seven endings.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Every death is an ending

Stupid question...but....where is Balzaar located?

Never mind, figured it out.

Vault Dweller, why didn't Balzaar reconfigure Meru's body like [CHARNAME] does if he absorbs Balzaar?

Not sure what exactly you're asking. He changes Meru's body (which is why we have 4 different portraits) but in a different way a human would. You can only kill him when aided by Agathoth. On your own you don't stand a chance, with or without the 'spear'.

 

[Thonius]

Huh I thought that spear is hellfire missile. And must be used in combination with flying fortress.

 

[Eyestabber]

Wait, what!? Dropping "Fake-Meru" is not the end of it? There is more!?

Oh great, and here I thought I was almost done with AoD. Crassus Praetor playtrough added to the list.

There is no crassus praetor line.

 

[Vault Dweller]

I assume he means praetor joining Crassus and taking a trip with Meru and Faelan.

But I thought he became physically incapable and weak after a while, which is why if you serve him you become his public face? Or is it because he became too inhuman?

 

[Vault Dweller]

Too inhuman.

I assumed that the reason that you can only kill him when aided by Agathoth isn't because Balzaar is particularly powerful at that point (Agathoth starts laughing in delight upon discovering that Meru has only arrived on this plane a few weeks ago, which signals that he's still vulnerable and that Aggie can wipe the floor with his ass), but rather because you've ceded your will to Balzaar at that point.* Balzaar himself isn't particularly powerful at any point in the game, it's just that once you've knelt, his inhuman powers of mental domination ensure that you become his slave.

* I find that this contradicts the powers of Mindshield. Whether I kneel to Balzaar or not, shouldn't my will still be my own thanks to Athazor's "gift"?

So, I'm counting six endings here:

Wake Agathoth and convince one of the lords to serve under him
Kill Agathoth, either directly or by blowing up the temple
Walk away
Wake Balzaar and kill Agathoth for him
Wake Balzaar and serve Agathoth instead
Become a god yourself

What's the seventh?

 

[Eyestabber]

I assume he means praetor joining Crassus and taking a trip with Meru and Faelan.

Ye. Tho the Steam cheevo says "Complete the Praetor of House Crassus". :D

I only played till

Spoiler

Balzaar takes Meru's body. I dropped him really fast, but reloaded because I wanted to finish Daratan's questline.

Kill all lords directly or indirectly then go to the temple and see what happens.

 

[alkeides 2.0]

Can anyone share any playthroughs where they killed all the lords?

In Teron if you side with IG and don't broker and alliance you can kill Antidas, but in Maadoran you need to be Merchant/Thief to kill Gaelius right? As IG, right after protecting the merchant my next mission is to go to the Ordu already, how can I kill Gaelius?

 

[Irenaeus II]

In Maadoran you need to blow up the city.

 

[alkeides 2.0]

In Maadoran you need to blow up the city.

Oh I already saved it from the Abyss creature. Another playthrough then.

 

[Malakal]

Theres also the ending when you kill all the lords and Agathoth too, thats not counted as separate? It gives a different result.
