Core ending rules
Sovereign Tower chooses its main ending during the Emperor's ultimatum conversation at cycle 45. There are five main outcomes: War, Peace Treaty, Marry, Surrender, and Tower Destruction. Earlier choices establish the Sovereign's dominant style, while the final conversation determines the available responses and the ending route.
The Emperor evaluates the dominant Sovereign style, presents the matching responses, and then asks the player to commit. Some choices resolve immediately, while others begin a final quest. If the ultimatum or a required final quest is failed, the run does not produce a main ending.
The available routes depend on the ruler style. A neutral ruler can choose War or Tower Destruction. Tyrannic allows War, Extended War, and Tower Destruction. Audacious allows War, Marry, Peace Treaty with the Golden Key, and Tower Destruction. Kind allows War, Surrender, Peace Treaty with the Golden Key, and Tower Destruction. Wise allows War, Peace Treaty, Surrender, Extended War, and Tower Destruction.
War
War is available from every ruler-style branch. Choose to fight and win the final confrontation. The required final quest uses six Knights and the following attributes: Strength 15, Agility 11, Magic 7, Wit 4, and Luck 4.
The Extended War route requires the Golden Key and the World Domination quest. It is available on the Tyrannic and Wise branches and uses six Knights with Strength 15 and Agility 12. Extended War is a War variation rather than a separate main ending.
Peace Treaty
Peace Treaty is available directly on the Wise branch. It can also appear on the Audacious and Kind branches when the Sovereign holds the Golden Key and offers it in exchange for peace.
If Victoria is on the roster, the Peace Treaty can resolve during the final conversation without a final battle. Without Victoria, the route requires a final battle with eight Knights and the following attributes: Strength 12, Agility 8, Charisma 11, Magic 6, Wit 3, and Luck 3.
Without the Golden Key, the treaty initially holds but later begins to come apart. With the Golden Key, handing it over as part of the agreement allows the settlement to hold.
Marry
Marry is available only on the Audacious branch. Choose the proposal during the Emperor's ultimatum conversation. The route resolves immediately and does not require a final quest.
Both romantic and non-romantic versions of the proposal lead to the same ending. The important requirement is maintaining the Audacious ruler style before reaching cycle 45.
Surrender
Surrender is available on the Kind and Wise branches. Choose to submit during the Emperor's ultimatum conversation. This route resolves without a final quest.
There are two versions of the result. Voluntarily surrendering produces a bloodless outcome with generous terms and a dignified role afterward. Surrendering after losing the final confrontation produces a darker result, so defeat is not the same route as choosing Surrender directly.
Tower Destruction
Tower Destruction is available from every ruler-style branch. Keep the Golden Key for your own purposes, choose the destruction route, and complete the final confrontation used by the War route.
The run ends at the next cycle transition. Tower Destruction skips the Demon Power epilogue and the Knight farewell slides, and there is no “try again” prompt after the credits.
Character slides
After a main ending, characters who served the Sovereign can receive farewell slides with an illustration and a short epilogue. Knights appear only if they remain on the Round Table at the end, while recruited servants can receive slides as well.
Alwena appears as a Knight if she was knighted and as staff if she was not. The Demon does not receive a character slide.
Slide variations can be affected by romance, the chosen main ending, character evolutions, and death. Relationship-sensitive characters include Gideon, Gwendan, Ursula, Brunhilda, Ligia, Oliver, Rowan, Carina, Belladonna, and the Lady of the Tower.
Other slide changes involve Angelica, Brunhilda, Childeric, Tarcus, Gwendan, Gideon, Oliver, Arron, Dulahan, Edith, Ursula, and Alwena. Ursula receives a different slide if she dies.
Characters with fixed slides include Goberto, Gothild, Silgur, Rufus, The Wolf, Chester, Zolta, Daguez, Ari, Epicrates, Sagadin, Rupin, Arlin, and Victoria.
Demon Power
The Demon Power epilogue appears only after the player rewinds time at least once. Each rewind increases corruption and changes the presentation of the epilogue.
With zero rewinds, the epilogue does not appear. One to nineteen rewinds produce the lighter version. Twenty or more rewinds can add the darker version.
Tower Destruction skips Demon Power because it ends the run before the Demon scene and character slides. To see the Demon epilogue and the character farewell slides in the same completion plan, choose another main ending.
Route planning
Choose Wise for the widest range of endings. Choose Audacious for Marry. Choose Kind or Wise for Surrender. Prepare the Golden Key for Peace Treaty, Extended War, or Tower Destruction, depending on how you use it.
Keep Victoria in the roster if you want to resolve Peace Treaty through conversation. Keep target Knights on the Round Table if you want their farewell slides. Use at least one rewind if you want to see Demon Power, and avoid Tower Destruction when you want the complete post-ending sequence.
