There is no good ending in Lords of the Fallen. You have a bad ending, worse ending and nightmare ending.

Here's the thing: Adyr isn't the villain in this game, and honestly isn't even directly responsible for 99.9% of what's happening. Let's break it down. Harkyn refused to use the Rune of Adyr to free the god, and when he couldn't carry it any longer, he gave it to the Judge Cleric. The Cleric, instead of sealing it away or destroying it, kept it for her own power... even as that rune started causing a plague that turns people into Rhogar. It's the misuse of Adyr's rune that is causing all of this, not Adyr himself. Let's take it a bit further, though. The church and the Hallowed Sentinels are grossly corrupt and more prone to mass murder than actually doing anything to help anyone. While the Hallowed Sentinels have the justification of being corrupted by Adyr's rune, the church is instead blatantly seeking the power of Umbral for their own purposes, even sending a hit squad to kill the child who the Hallowed Sentinels are using as a cork to seal away the entrance to the Umbral Realm and the Putrid Mother, a being that will literally devour all things, living and dead, if given the chance. Neither one cares anything for the people they're supposed to be protecting, and are actively bringing the world closer to calamity by refusing to solve the problems they themselves are creating. All of this has left the people disenfranchised and bereft of hope for any salvation from the church, causing people to form a cult around the long-lost god Adyr and working to free him. The cultists aren't following any of the old tenants of Adyr's faith, though, they're just making up stuff based on what they see, like "Adyr's Hand" leading them to sever hands and seeing the Rhogar mindlessly slaughtering people to mean that they should also be just as violent. Adyr has no control over his followers, given that he's sealed away and has no access or means of communication with our world, they're just desperate people fed up with the church's corruption and hypocrisy, turning to the only one who might be able to fix things in the only way they know how. When the cult of Adyr corrupts the beacons and Adyr is able to send Rhogar through, one of the main ones he sends is the Lightreaper, one specifically created with the intent of hunting down the Dark Crusaders, because the lamp they carry is literally tied to a being that will destroy the world if it breaks free. It's not simply out of some kind of hatred or malice, but because humans are meddling with forces they don't understand and will bring about the end of the world if they aren't stopped. Nearly all of the other bosses aren't Rhogar, but humans who have either been corrupted by Umbral or Infernal influence that wouldn't be directly tied to Adyr himself, or are just deluded into the thinking the Hallowed Sentinels are still holy. The few that are Rhogar aren't pure Rhogar, but corrupted humans caused by the plague. Just like in the first game, a large number of the "monsters" are humans that were corrupted due to someone meddling with things better left alone. If the church had been more concerned with doing good works instead of their own selfish desires and toying with Umbral, the cult of Adyr wouldn't have such a huge following and the beacons would never have been corrupted. If the Judge Cleric had destroyed the Rune of Adyr instead of tapping into its power for her own purposes, the Rhogar plague would never have occurred and large numbers of corrupted humans wouldn't be rampaging all around Mournstead. If Harkyn had used the rune as intended instead of refusing, the rune would not have been in a place and time where selfish people could use it for their own purposes, and would not have caused the Rhogar plague. The rune doesn't cause the plague, it's the misuse of the the rune that causes it. All of the problems in Mournstead stem from humans making bad decisions, if not outright self-serving and selfish ones, with Adyr and the Rhogar being the consequence of the problems in Mournstead rather than the cause.

Radiant - Betrayed Inferno - Second Chance Umbral - End of Life

I feel bad for Adyr. In the first game he wasn't even a bad guy. He literally told you that you were just a pawn being misdirected to hide something worse.

Shit I’m going with Adyr. At least that dude actually rewards me for my work.

Crazy how the "bad ending" is the only one where the God doesn't kill you and you get to live 😂

I honestly think Adyrs ending is the best, since Adyr is our creator and he was betrayed and trapper brining him to his rightful home seemed like the right thing to do, Also I really disliked the radiant ending, we do Orius’s will and he destroys us just like that? Some bs

So the endings are basically 1)Dark souls 1 2)Elden ring 3)Bloodborne 😭😭

not gonna lie, Adyr seems more morally good than the hallowed sentinels and Orius, so the inferno ending must be the good ending

With no other context it seems Inferno might be the best ending you can get. Every other choice kills you.

NGL she kinda bad 🙏 How to get all ending ? RADIANCE ENDING- Cleanse all beacons and defeat the last boss INFERNO ENDING- 1- First, defeat the Colossal Sentinels that are protecting the beacons(Ignore Judge Cleric the Radiant Sentinel) and do not cleanse any of them 2 - Collect the Rune of Adyr from the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters location (Boss - RAPTUROUS HUNTRESS OF THE DUSK ) 3- Approach and speak to the Effigy of Adyr. By doing so, the Rune of Adyr will change to the Empowered Rune of Adyr 4 - Use the Empowered Rune of Adyr on all five beacons 5- Defeat Judge Cleric the Radiant Sentinel and Interact with the defeat Judge cleric to enter her mind. 6 - Use Empowered Rune of Adyr on Iselle and Boom you get the ending. UMBRAL ENDING- 1) Defeat Harrower Dervla the Pledged Knight and The Unbroken Promise at the Revelation Depths 2) Return to Skyrest Bridge and purchase the Umbral Scouring Clump from Molhu. The item is to be used at the well to travel to Mother's Lull Now go back to the boss area and use the Well ( near the memory ) 3) In Mother's Lull, first, interact with the non-hostile Remnant to acquire Damarose's Seedpod. 4) Use the Seedpod on Damarose to kill her who can be located at Pilgrim's Perch. By doing this, it will grant access to the first floating platform in Mother's Lull. 5) Next, interact with the non-hostile Remnant in Mother's Lull to acquire Gerlinde's Seedpod. 6) WARNING, THIS STEP WILL KILL OFF GERLINDE: At this point, you should have already freed Gerlinde from her prison cell in Pilgrim's Perch, and she'll take refuge in Skyrest Bridge.Use the Seedpod on Gerlinde to grant access to the second floating platform in Mother's Lull. 7) Progress the game until you reach the outskirts of Bramis Castle (just before reaching the gates) where you'll fight The Lightreaper. Defeat the Colossal Sentinel to acquire The Lightreaper's Umbral Parasite. If you defeat The Lightreaper at the first three locations where you encounter him (Defiled Sepulchre, Fitzroy's Gorge, or Fief of the Chill Curse), you'll still be able to obtain the parasite item. 8) Return to Skyrest Bridge and place the Lightreaper's Parasite in the column that has an open slot in the room where Molhu is. 9) Go back to Mother's Lull and interact with the non-hostile Remnant to acquire Melchior's Seedpod. 10) Obtain the Rune of Adyr from the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters location. 11) Return to Mother's Lull and give the rune to the non-hostile Remnant to obtain the Withered Rune of Adyr. This also gives access past the gates of Bramis Castle and blocks the Inferno ending.If by chance The Iron Wayfarer takes the Rune of Adyr from the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters, you can still obtain it when you fight him by the gates of Bramis Castle. Just make sure you give the Rune of Adyr to the non-hostile Remnant in Mother's Lull. 12) Proceed to Bramis Castle, and in the throne room where you encounter The Sundered Monarch, interact with the effigy of Adyr where you'll also find Melchior's body. Use the Seedpod on the body to gain access to the third floating platform in Mother's Lull. 13) Return to Fief of the Chill Curse in the Umbral Realm to find The Iron Wayfarer(Near the gate with a lot of wolve, invisible enemy) . Interact with the NPC and use the Withered Rune of Adyr that kills him and grants the player with Harkyn's Umbral Parasite 14) Return to Skyrest Bridge and insert Harkyn's Parasite in the column that has an open slot in the room where Molhu is. 15) Warp into the Umbral realm and speak to Molhu to learn about your next target. 16) Speaking to Pieta and choosing to soulflay will reveal her parasite and teleport you into a boss fight. 17) Defeat the boss to acquire Elianne's Umbral Parasite. 18) Use Elianne's Parasite in the column that has an open slot in the room where Molhu is. 19) Speak to Molhu and choose "Enter Mother's Lull" to trigger a cutscene where Molhu reveals he has the last seedpod which he uses, causing him to die. This event will grant you access to the fourth and last floating platform in Mother's Lull. 20) And finally, to trigger the Umbral ending, players will simply need to use the platforms to cross the gap and reach the finale.

Orius - OK SO I START BLASTING THIS HERETICS Adyr - HUMANITY WAS A MISTAKE MOTHER - FOOD

so too sum it up: radiance ending : top 10 worst betrayals in anime inferno ending : may chaos take the world but worse umbral ending : mukbang time but youre the one getting eaten with the rest of the world overall pretty f*cked up

Either become a literal demon lord and rule under a tyrant, burst into flames and allow Orius to smite literally everyone, or allow all of existence to be swallowed into a cosmic horror hell.

All these endings r pretty much ur a sucker and u pledge urself to one or the other… yea, im going with adyr all the other ones ungrateful and one is a giant eyeball

I am fine with Orius killing me as I find it fitting that he doesnt want the umbral stuff around(would have appriciated a word of thanks before the deed) but I find it a but stupid he nukes everyone

You think the end classes reflect what happens to your character as a reward (let’s call the Radiance ending a “what if” though)? Getting embraced by the Mother also doesn’t mean complete death. Maybe you could have been reborn as the Putrid Child and just ravaged the world for things she can eat.

This game makes you question your morality and at the end, the one that they deemed evil are the true one.

The Umbral ending reminds me of SMT4 ending with "The White". Also an option ending if you messed up picking a different ending route.

1. first ending ( finis your duty as dark crusader, bcs issac can do it ) 2. 2nd ending, became slave of demon god and rule the world 3. idk so absurd 😁

I'd say all of these endings are bad, Orius is a prick who sees you as a puppet, Adyr's a brutal meatheaded dictator who wont shut up about strength, And the Umbral mother is an Eldritch God that wants to eat everything

I have 0 ideas what is going on with this game story.

kind of wish there was more to these endings :v like some cinematic sequence or somthing

does starting 0 game + or whatever it's called, start the game over at whatever level you initiate it from, or does it reset everything?

Just don't go with the radiance ending just to not go to the boss fight

Your character looks siick !! I only beat it once and got the radiance ending/ ez boss

Damn I wish I knew the infernal ending conditions. I wanted to help my man Adyr.

I thought one of the endings would show "in light, we walk", but none of them show this sentence. Am I right?

what do we have to do in game to get each endings?

What armor set are you wearing?

So called bad ending is best ending.

the inferno ending is what i am choosing to do first as i want the lord class i havent decided out or radiance or umbral on my second run.

Soo. . . . Is the Umbral Ending the True Ending? If so. . .there really isn't a "good" ending for Lords of the Fallen unless you die a hero.

The Inferno ending was kind of a haunting one when you think about it. After you beat the Sundered Monarch, Adyr tells you to overcharge the beacons with the rune. I stopped by Calrath first and I was surprised to see holy based enemies guarding it instead of Rogar. Like the game knows like you have already won, but your enemies are trying one last time to stop you. They even try to protect Judge Cleric when you return to use the rune on her.

What weapons is he using? I'm assuming one is Pieta's sword, but what's the other?

Adyr was the good guy all this time

I wonder if the DLC will have an ending where they all shake hands and sing kumbaya

In the Radiance ending, is what happens, Orius killing the lamp bearer? Or is it the lamp???

its a fight between the "good" (Orius) and "evil" (Adyr) about who rules the world fougt by their human / rhogar armies... and then theres the Putrid Mother which is the higher being that rules over the whole universe in which mournstead lies -> imagine two birds fight over a cookie on a humans picknick blanket the human will take it in the end regardless which bird wins

i came for the ending, but got jealous soon as i saw him playin the lord class

I like old adyr old voice

did bro just say radiance was the "good" ending. homie needs to fix that karmic alignment scope. All the endings are cruel.

Does anyone know of any videos about the lore?

If Adyr, recreate a world without suffering in his next reign instead of revenge, Inferno ending will be the good ending.

My reward for saving the world? Disintegrated by the lamp? Fuck that!

I did use the Empowered Rune of Adyr and that lady that is lay cant seem too talk right anything that im missing because I cant Enter the Cleric's Mind 12:08

Idk why everyone hating I actually liked the game ran smooth as well on ps5 and I’m invested in the lore to 👍🏾💯

Nobody wins in any of the endings😩😂

The heck all this endings...

Can’t betray Pieta, she helped me on almost every battle 🥲

That "mother" reminds me of the destroyer from borderlands 1 xD

Protag after seeing all the endings in a vision: You know wha I don't need this I'm out. I heard Yharnim is less fucked this time of year.

What's the entity then? Devil vs god or human vs montreous or whatt???

I did the umbral ending just bc i need mom to be happy and full😊

To think that Adyr had the best healthcare.

So you have to play through all these mid levels and fight all these mid bosses just to get rewarded with three bad endings?

Just finished the "good" ending and....yeah To say it was underwhelming would be a high praise Dunno if I will ever bother with other endings/playthroughs after such a dissapointment

Endings in game like these are just endings

I'm glad I took Adyr's side here. The rest just seems off to me. Especially Orius, I don't trust the Hallowed Sentinels one bit.

#freeAdyr

Good ending for us is inferno then

Yall making it seem like the second ending is a bad ending its the only one worth going for

The secret ending reminds me of one Lovecraft creature... Why nowadays loves to put Lovecraft beings?

Hope they release a DLC with a new ending which you slay all the gods and become god yourself. =))

Elden ring type ending, dark souls type ending, bloodborne type ending

like omg i just dont like how these endings end in a black screen an text

Just beat the game and sort of feel …bereft? No climactic boss, no twist, no proportional reward. I get that the journey can be the goal, but this just felt uninspired. Looking at the rest of the endings here, I’m glad I didn’t attempt them and was further disappointed. It’s like a pale , bleak shadow of Bloodborne. If even. Still, I enjoyed the world and co-op gameplay. One round is enough though.

where did you get that armor

I do associated the gods of lotf to the Christian God that was afk to very end of the game, lucifer who was exiled from the paradise into the hells for just being himself and the putrid mother being just the very essence of nature consuming indiscriminately just because every living things have a limited time on earth. It seemed a very inspirational "twist" from the bible and testing my moral compass since the beginning. Love this game ffs.

Ending 3 - God. :)

So basically another game in which there is no good ending. This trend is getting tired.

It is my first play through what ending should I choose?

Damn I alrdy cleansed two beacons smh wish I knew that befor hand sorry adyr… i guess il be pulling a thanos and unleash the umbral Mother upon the world! (Peace out y’all)

Infernal gang.

Does anyone know how to get to bramis castle (without cleansing beacons)

Ok if you look up the lore of the first game. The good ending here is as good as it gets. Humanity was never perfect, better us than a demon in charge.

Should have an ending your you can become a god and rule over

So the world of the protagonist is screwed. It doesn't matter what ending you pick? XD

Dude causaly strolling whit 200k souls bruh

Wish I’d done the inferno ending

👍🏼

I loved the thumbnail for the video,😃 good, bad and wtf

Adyr inside that girl - best ending

This game is basically a version of human history if magic was real. Humans doing what humans do best, Orius (if he really exists) making the church “help” humans do what humans do more efficiently and Adyr just waiting to take another ride on the train of his gigantic ego. As nothing is certain, free Umbral at once. Becoming a true god's dinner doesn't seem so bad in this world.

You should have kept the clicked title. WTF does sum up the last one.

for my part I have my job which consists of " BURN THE ERERTIC KILL THE MUTANS PURGE THE UNCLEAN " so w orius

The only true god in this game is sparky

All hail Adyr

the "evil" ending is actually the good ending

Radiance: how things were, society can grow etc etc even though Orius is a little bch and the sentinels are bastards. Inferno: the pursuit of this has caused countless deaths and it is clear there is a corruption here, turning good people bad, so no even if it is the best one for the character. Whats the point of a lord if they rule over nothing but dust and madness. Umbral: apocalypse. The umbral god is waiting for a champion when you finally arrive and prove your worth but guess what, the moment you enter the umbral, those umbral entities still try to kill you. Why be there champion when they actively hunt you down, slow you down with shitty puzzles and in general be an extreme annoyance. How about they can shove the umbral up their umbral asses So all endings suck. Inferno is probably the best because you dont have to endure the worst boss fight ever.

Waste of $60. Just going to watch lets plays from now on.

2:15 SCP 096

how to get 2 pieta sword ?

Inferno is definitely the best ending.

lol you play a long game and thats the ending hahaha , I remember playing scorn

Right, left, nihilist.

I still don’t understand the story.

Kill final boss by hit creep 😂

Radiance is anything but good.

This looks very lackluster....
