Verified Main Ending Requirements and Final Routes

War Ending

1. Reach Arthur's ultimatum with any ruler state. The War response is always available.
2. Reject Arthur and commit Brizh to battle.
3. Complete The Final Confrontation with six knights.
4. Meet or exceed Strength 15, Agility 11, Magic 7, Wits 4, and Luck 4.
5. Win to receive the War ending and A Conqueror.

For extended War, enter the Tyrannic or Wise branch while carrying the Golden Key. Select the Key-backed conquest response, then complete World Domination with six knights, Strength 15, and Agility 12. This gives War a longer and harsher epilogue; it does not add another main ending.

Failure point: Losing the final quest grants no War ending. Rewind to a safe deployment point, free six knights, and use equipment and other stat bonuses to cover the shortage. Strength alone cannot save a party whose Agility is wearing a paper crown.

Peace Treaty Ending

1. Make Wise your highest style above 10 for the direct Peace response. Audacious and Kind rulers can instead unlock Peace by carrying and offering the Golden Key.
2. For the lasting treaty, obtain the Golden Key. Uniting all ten counties opens the Key quest through Arlin; completing Angelica's personal route is another way to obtain it.
3. Keep Victoria on the Round Table to resolve the treaty in conversation and skip the final quest.
4. Without Victoria, choose Peace and complete The Final Battle tournament with eight knights.
5. Meet or exceed Strength 12, Agility 8, Charisma 11, Magic 6, Wits 3, and Luck 3.

A Wise ruler can negotiate without the Key, but that treaty later weakens. Giving Arthur the Golden Key creates the stable version. Audacious and Kind rulers do not receive their Peace response without the Key. Completing the route awards Peace, at Last.

Recovery: If Peace is available but eight knights are not, return to a checkpoint before the last long assignments. Keep Victoria in court or clear enough knights for the full tournament party. Five brilliant champions cannot politely impersonate eight.

Marriage Ending

1. Raise Audacious above 10 and make it the sole highest style before cycle 45.
2. At Arthur's ultimatum, choose the proposal instead of War or Peace.
3. Continue through either the romantic or political version of the exchange.

Both versions merge the realms and award An Audacious Solution. This route requires no Golden Key, knight party, or final quest. Reaching archetype level 3 alone is not enough if Audacious is not the ruler state Arthur judges at the ultimatum.

Surrender Ending

1. Reach cycle 45 with Kind or Wise as your highest style above 10.
2. Choose voluntary submission during the conversation, before accepting a battle quest.
3. Finish the conversation to receive Capitulation. No party or statistic check follows.

Voluntary surrender is the bloodless route and gives the Sovereign generous terms. Surrender after losing to Arthur is a separate bad-end result with a much darker outcome. If you want Capitulation, choose it during the audience; do not send six exhausted knights into an unwinnable battle and hope imperial paperwork develops a conscience.

Tower Destruction Ending

This route ignores ruler style but has the strictest story gates. An ordinary Demon rewind means using the Crypt power during the active reign. The post-credits Try Again reset that begins a new reign does not count against this ending.

1. Finish a reign and select Try Again so the new timeline begins with your retained knowledge.
2. Do not use an ordinary Demon rewind at any point in the new reign.
3. Recruit Gideon early with your retained knowledge. Complete both the Gavault and Groveshire paths, then use Gideon's family story to bring both county leaders together so both counties can rally.
4. Recruit Epicrates by obtaining the Not Guilty verdict at his trial.
5. Speak with Epicrates until he discusses using the Golden Key against monarchy, and accept that plan.
6. Rally all ten counties and obtain the Golden Key. The Key alone is not enough; the ten-county alliance is also required for this route.
7. At Arthur's ultimatum, choose the response involving Epicrates and the Golden Key.
8. Complete The Final Confrontation with six knights and at least Strength 15, Agility 11, Magic 7, Wits 4, and Luck 4.

This awards The Last King of Brizh. The run ends at the next cycle transition, skips the Demon epilogue and character farewell slides, and returns to the main menu without the usual Try Again offer. If the response is missing, check Epicrates and his plan conversation, all ten county alliances, the Golden Key, and the current reign's ordinary-rewind count.
