Pathfinder: Wrath Of The Righteous' Secret Ascension ending: A Demigod's Journey!
Conquering Demons and Achieving Divinity: A Guide to Wrath of the Righteous' Secret Ending
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a seriously epic RPG! You are the Commander of the Fifth Crusade, battling demons pouring through the Worldwound in Golarion! You pick from 10 Mythic Paths that shape your abilities, and your choices impact the ending. But did you know about the super-secret Ascension ending, where you become a literal demigod? This article details how you get it— prepare for a complex journey to godhood!
The game's ending has multiple possible outcomes, determined by those Mythic Paths; but this amazing and epic outcome goes even further, giving those who want to climb even higher a chance at doing just that, especially after an extended amount of time exploring that specific realm.
How Many Endings Does Wrath of the Righteous Have? More Than You Think!
Those 10 Mythic Paths have 10 distinct ending paths – mostly. Most Paths (except Legend and Swarm) have three different endings each. That's roughly 28 different ways the game ends; determined in part by how you close that Worldwound itself. You can sacrifice yourself, sacrifice Areelu (that important half-succubus demonologist) or…you can become a demigod using that incredibly secret, special path! To be absolutely clear: Achieving this ultimate power requires very specific actions throughout the entire gameplay and there is very little room for error.
A critical note that must be emphasIzed: Reaching this very end game scenario takes immense amounts of careful planning; requiring an exact approach toward interacting with several specific characters and events in the storyline, without messing things up. Many elements have specific requirements or will otherwise fail. That’s crucial and many things affect this end game result and must not be missed. The amount of details truly requires deep knowledge and mastery of the game itself.
Unlocking Godhood: A Step-by-Step Guide to Ascension
Becoming a demigod in Wrath of the Righteous is a grueling process: Legend and Swarm Paths don't work! You need another Mythic Path, getting at least five approval points from Areelu and doing some important things early in Act 3 that are highlighted further below: Going into Areelu's Lab, you need the Lexicon of Paradox and that magical Midnight Bolt. That interaction must be without harming her demonic servant Suture or this entire thing will end badly!
Several other important and sometimes hidden aspects can only be collected and achieved during the following timeframes or it will lead to disaster. There's a bunch of hidden details for these steps; and missing one crucial moment creates a complete chain failure; This makes the secret ending exceedingly complex, showing why the developers specifically designed this to really showcase how high the bar for those going for this special path really must be: That critical window is between the 15th and 21st of Gozran (Golarion's fourth month, year 4717), avoiding time-skipping for greater ease.
Getting Nahyndrian Crystals requires winning specific battles and obtaining some magical weapons (Midnight Bolts, found inside of Areelu's Lab); doing additional research and getting additional information related to the events surrounding that Worldwound; It involves doing four important projects (Act 3, three in Act 5). Getting these magical crystals also requires finding other additional keys from specific dungeon encounters, and defeating various other dungeon bosses to obtain the final weapons and loot required for the next progression steps.
Some steps require doing several things in sequence otherwise they could potentially lock certain parts. An important note to keep in mind is those necessary actions that should always occur in a given timeframe. Failure creates complete failure and undoing those missteps and mistakes to undo could lead to additional difficulty and time loss.
The Ascension: What Happens When You Become a Demigod?
That awesome fight against Areelu ends only with the ultimate decision of accepting the proposition and uniting. Show her your plan using that Lexicon, those important research projects, the Midnight Bolts and Nahyndrian Crystals (which includes finding specific resources to create more such magical crystals that are needed to reach that last final stage of defeating several extremely dangerous high level dungeon bosses – some from completely different, and initially unconnected Mythic Paths!). Then, after fighting with her (side-by-side) you get to decide the form of your ascension; some involving different levels of characters – you, Areelu or others you want to take up into this new divinity!
And then BAM! That's total demigod power! Control over an Abyssal realm completely customIzed and controlled by the actions, thoughts, wishes and motivations created only by those who achieve this. That’s the kind of reward you earn for going through hell.
