In the vast world of Avowed, where multiple endings await, the Tyranny ending stands out as exceptionally challenging and rarely achieved. Statistics show only 0.2% of players have unlocked this brutal conclusion, a testament to its demanding path of devastation and betrayal.
Reaching the Tyranny ending requires complete allegiance to the oppressive Steel Garrote order and their ruthless Inquisitor. Every choice must align with their brutal philosophy, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. Companions will turn against the player, leaving them isolated and despised. The Inquisitor's eventual knightly title offers cold comfort amidst this desolation.
YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming recently released a walkthrough guiding players through this difficult path to the rare "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently supporting Edairian or anti-Sapadal viewpoints during key story moments. While few players choose this route, the Tyranny ending powerfully illustrates the weight of player choices in Avowed.
Obsidian Entertainment's dedication to detail shines through in Avowed, creating gameplay comparable to Baldur's Gate 3. Quests dynamically adapt to player actions, and NPCs remember even minor decisions. This level of responsiveness fosters a richly detailed narrative that rewards careful consideration.
