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 steadfast commitment to a path filled with 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. As the journey progresses, 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 without any meaningful relationships to share it with.
The YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming recently released a walkthrough that guides players through this treacherous path, helping them avoid premature defeat and ultimately unlock the rare "Tyranny" achievement. This requires consistently championing Edairian or anti-Sapadal stances during pivotal moments in the story. Although few players choose this route, 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 reminiscent of Baldur's Gate 3, where quests adapt dynamically based on player actions, and NPCs remember even seemingly trivial decisions. This attention to detail ensures a rich, responsive narrative that rewards thoughtful engagement.
