Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Secret Ascension Ending with Companions

This is cool but the legend ending is the best one your mc gives a big mf middle finger to areelu demon lords and the gods.

i was supposed to get this ending but this game is extremely ungrateful to the players that try to achieve it , i followed the detailed guide but then i got rejected out of a research thet i remembered getting , i gave the game a 1 star review out of unfair frustration due to the amount of time put into this failed attempt

And that is wonderful. Where Baldur's Gate 2 failed due to WtC treachery (novel) Wrath of Righteous succeeded!

Hiding the best ending behind obscure criteria is an extremely stupid design decision. You'd think that lesson would been learned after Valkyrie Profile 20+ years ago, but I guess not.

This secret ending is so stupid. They require way too many random things to get it. You miss one thing, and you don't get ANYTHING. Ridiculously pointless

Where'd you get those custom portraits? Those are sick. Especially seeing the full portrait... if you drew those that's so dope. Cheers

Must say, fair play to the person who managed this ending. I tried to just play the game as it is, (Like no guides, no help on puzzles...) But holy hell! Even on Normal Difficulty, feels like the Game Master hates my guts... (Imagine DC of 47 to beat, and I have my legendary character with a 45 skill, and I roll a 1...) The best I ever achieved playing this game was the complete Romance with Queen Galfrey. And I didn't even know what I was doing. Oh and the Doom Easter Egg Helmet thingy!

The ending slides are schizophrenic lmao. "Yeah your crusade management wasn't anything impressive but your crusade management was so amazing Drezen replaced Nerosyan as the capital of Mendev and dominated the region politically and militarily."

lol that s all you get? a text event? What a piece of shit game

when i make the secret ending, dialogue option "you are stepping stones on my path to greatness" had a far better trad in fr i will translate it : "You're nothing more than combustible to my ambition"

Turn Ember into god this good cosmic joke XD

guau, you group is just great buddy

Thanks for posting this, my save completely bugged out so even with editing this just wouldn't trigger. Not worth a third playthrough, so thanks for the closure.

This is the kinda ending that id wish we could get in as canon RPG like Divinity Original Sin 2 but here on Pathfinder we can fortunetly

If you think about it, this ending is the most evil ending of them all. You basically become an accomplice of Areelu in everything she has done so far. Genoside for the sake of Godhood. All the suffering and tortures she caused during her experiments... She criticised Gods for killing people for fun, while she did basically even worse that any one of them. Ascending her is like Ascending Hitler but worse.
P.S. As the Legend, Starstone test should be a breeze and a much less genosidal alternative.

Getting this ending felt like going down a long checklist at times, but holy shit was this entire last section satisfying. I walked into the Threshold expecting another nightmare like the House at the Edge of Time, but it was much more sensible. I enjoyed killing things. Then the fun part began. Nocticula showed up to tempt me and I told the thot to begone. I said my victory will be mine, not hers. She patted me on the head condescendingly, mocked my words and left. Well, her loss; I literally told her that I'll screw her over. Then Iomedae showed up being her equally condescending self. I ignored her entirely. She was annoying, monologuing about how passing a test made her more deserving of godhood than other mortals. Then I used the aforementioned checklist as arguments to convince Areelu, permanently un-alived two Demon Lords and ascended to divinity using the same plan Nocticula intended to use, bypassing the test Iomedae was so proud of passing. And I did it alongside my entire party (including one redeemed demon and demon descendant) and redeemed Areelu, who betrayed Nocticula AND whom Iomedae wanted dead for being a supposedly hopeless black soul. Oh, and I did it all without compromising my morals even once, so nobody can even call me an asshole for pulling that move.

Sure, it made me grit my teeth every now and then during gameplay, but the entire ending was the single most enormous, deliberate and satisfying "Fuck You" to all of the figures trying to "manipulate" and "command" me I've ever seen. It was glorious.

Defeating rules of the universe through the power of bureaucracy and scientific method.

wow very interesting. I still have no clue what I missed in areelu's lab... seems like I missed quite much.
is the storyteller story in last elven note in threshold? I didnt bother to return and find it out. just curious. what "exactly was" he?

Thank you, the first chat between you and vorlesh is where I got it wrong. I almost got locked out of this ending, but this showed me the WAY! Follow this line by line

Secret ending? I didn't even manage to find Woljif! Thanks for posting this, I wouldn't have the patience to do it myself.

almost 200hs ingame took me to finish it, insane! I dount that ill give it another try, its to much but I engoyed every minute, thas, I thank you for saciating my cutiossity regarding the ascension ending.

..... I forgot the fucking notes in the lab... the fiucking notes... I am not gonna play hours just for that...

Thanks for uploading the video :)

I know there is a lot you have to do, to get this ending. Does choosing a specific mythic matter at all or can you pick any of them?

Question: how does this ending change if you choose the Golden Dragon path?

Wondered if I should try to follow a guide for the secret ending, but uh, that's way too much crap to do and I run out of patience for all the side quests after Act 3.

I wonder what would be wenduags and camellias ascension abd daerans what did you do to my boy

So I’m trying to get the secret ending but I’m not getting the “I’ve reached the height of my mythic power” option even though I’m at mythic rank 10. Is this a bug?

The fact that this ending requires so many very specific parameters makes it kinda stupid imo. Because obviously there will only be like maybe 20 people playing the game finding this path naturally and being able to go through with it. 3 of them will write a guide and the rest of the playerbase now follows a linear a story where a game that is very much about choices literally removes a lot of them. INCLUDING which mythic path you can choose.
Do you guys the see the problem?
If any of the others endings would have an additional better versions (either the same outcome or different versions per mythic path) this system would ADD to the experience. The way it is implemented now is telling you exactly what you are allowed to do to get this ending (in oppose to the other endings which have more veriance) and if you don't do the one thing then BAM you are thrown out.

Aside from that I am wondering why Legend Mythic Path apparently can't do this given the logic it kinda should be able to.

Fantastic. Thanks so much for posting this and for doing all the nonsense necessary to achieve this ending. I'm going to adopt this as the ending for my game in my head canon!

I wonder what will happen if you pick 2. [Do not intervene] in the last question

This was so difficult. I think I missed 1 or 2 and was locked out forever

yeah.. i failed to do literally one thing yo attain godhood. that's sad.

I'm watching this an just thinking.. "how the he*.." I need to play another playthrough! Man I thought my Azura happy ending with me jumping around with my dragon and my succubus lover was the best happy ending.

AWESOME

So the moral is: in the end you can cause hundreds of years of suffering and death, but if you are cunning, you will conquer heaven with violence and some amount of intellect. Not that they really changed the world order or knew how to make the world better - just escaped their mortal fate.

Dude, where'd you get that character portrait?

In my ending. I saved Camellia & Daeran but Greybr dead
Camellia : After accession and become a demigod she still love to murder innocent ppl (murderous lip licking...). Embarrassed by her action, One day she just disappears and never return
Daeran : After accession Daeran just party all day and let everyone in Golarion worship him like a deity
Horgus Gwerm : He sold his mansion left mendev and move to cheliax. There he gets a wife & continue the Gwerm bloodline

The part that makes my head hurt the most is this. Pharasma is not just goddes of death and rebirth and whatnot. Did you ever wonder how in Pathfinder you could resurrect people? How their souls of the dead aren't instantly judged and distributed to Outer Planes like Heaven and Hell? Well, the lore explanation for that is Pharasma foresees stuff like resurrection and reincarnation and thus postpones her judgement



Does that mean she foresaw Commander and Areelu's ascension? And knew they would come to her afterwards just to flip her?

If so, man... Being a goddess of fate sucks

Edit: Oh, and according to Pathfinder lore, there was a god named Aroden. He was destined to die, Pharasma knew it. And guess what? Iomedae is still pissed about that. And Aroden's clergy? When the new reached up to them, it ended up with a series of fights between them and clergy of Pharasma

But aren't Pharasma a greater deity? how come a demi-god can be a challenge for her?

Lovely ending, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing. I will miss the ending (I think) because of wrong decisions. Turns out helping the weak isn't always the best idea if you want to become more powerful.

What is Camelias ascension ending?

thanks man this is the best game i have played in years.

Well, i did everything that is necessary to unlock this ending (except i found Suture next to Areelu in Nocticula palace from the beginning of the conversation, i didn't have to pass the perception check regarding him), but i do not have any option when you start to try to convince her after the fight("I know you are not as mad or as fixated... etc.). Any idea what makes this show up? Just lost over 100 hours for nothing...

Aww, Arushalae's ending made me tear up happy tears

I just beat the game and was curious about what the secret ending was so thanks!
The only sad part is you don't get the ending (or it looks like you don't) Spoilers
Somehow Ember succeeded in convincing Nocticula to become the Redeemer Queen lmao.

Love how the after credit is basically just you and Areelu go to Pharasma's realm to give her a middle finger. Very chad move.

I'm still upset no wenduwag in the credits. Did You kill her??? You do know you can get them both.

best ending that you can get, but you have to do a lot of things to get this ending. You need play with a guide to get this ending.
