Only 0.2% of Players Unlocked the Harsh Tyranny Ending in Avowed

In the vast and immersive world of Avowed, players are presented with multiple endings, each shaped by their choices throughout the game. Among these, the Tyranny ending stands out as one of the most challenging and least achieved outcomes. Statistics reveal that only 0.2% of players have managed to unlock this stark conclusion, which requires a relentless commitment to a path of destruction and betrayal.

To achieve the Tyranny ending, players must fully embrace the oppressive doctrines of the Steel Garrote order and their fervent Inquisitor. Every crucial decision must reflect their harsh ideology, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. As the game progresses, companions will inevitably turn against the protagonist, leaving them isolated and despised. Despite this isolation, the Inquisitor bestows the title of knight as a token of recognition—a hollow reward in the absence of any meaningful connections.

Big Dan Gaming, a popular YouTube channel, has provided a detailed walkthrough on how to navigate this perilous journey 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. Although few dare to tread this path, the 'Tyranny' ending underscores the significant influence 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 evolve dynamically in response to player actions, and NPCs remember even the smallest decisions. This meticulous attention to detail creates a rich, interactive narrative that rewards players for their thoughtful engagement.
