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

In the vast world of Avowed, with its multiple branching narratives, the Tyranny ending stands out as exceptionally challenging and rarely achieved. Statistics show a mere 0.2% of players have unlocked this grim conclusion, a testament to its unforgiving path of devastation and betrayal.

Reaching the Tyranny ending requires unwavering loyalty to the oppressive Steel Garrote order and their ruthless Inquisitor. Every choice must align with their brutal ideology, leading to the destruction of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. Companions will turn against the player, leaving them isolated and ostracized. The Inquisitor's eventual knightly title offers cold comfort in the face of this profound loneliness.

YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming recently released a walkthrough demonstrating how to successfully navigate this difficult path and unlock the elusive "Tyranny" achievement. This involves consistently supporting Edairian or anti-Sapadal viewpoints during crucial story moments. While few players choose this route, the Tyranny ending powerfully illustrates the weight of player choices in Avowed.

Obsidian Entertainment's meticulous design in Avowed rivals that of Baldur's Gate 3, with quests dynamically adapting to player actions and NPCs remembering even seemingly insignificant decisions. This level of detail creates a richly responsive narrative that rewards careful consideration and thoughtful play.
