Thanks!

MASTAN [author] 12 Oct, 2021 @ 12:18pm

For the other ending see You've Always Been The Caretaker' achievement.

thatotherdavidguy 12 Oct, 2021 @ 11:51am

I've heard that there are now multiple endings. How do you get the other endings?

Dragon_27 11 Oct, 2021 @ 6:16pm

Thank you! Your guide helped me so much and allowed me to 100% the game!

chopchop 17 Sep, 2021 @ 6:02am

Thanks a lot!:) I managed to get all achievements and saw the new contents in the game with your guide. I'd have missed them otherwise

MASTAN [author] 12 Sep, 2021 @ 2:30pm

When I played I exhausted all dialogs with rats on the ship, then much later went to the rat king and he gave me the crown. No need to run between him and the ship, you can visit him only once.

Okay, after going back and forth between the ship rats and the OG Rat King (which is a bit of a chore) I managed to trigger the needed dialogue options. If you're struggling with this one - have patience and go back and forth with the rats.

zhekazlo 12 Sep, 2021 @ 11:37am

I have a problem with Thy Kingdome Come achievment - I talked with all the rats on the ship, and their father back at the vampire's house - the dialogue is exhausted, and there is nothing concerning the crown or anything like that. The king rat at the ship just boasts that he is the king and that's it. After i visited their father I can tell the three rats on the ship that I found him but that's it, nothing triggers

MASTAN [author] 27 Jul, 2021 @ 3:10am

McKillem, thanks, I made a note.

Hello.

I'd like to suggest adding a note to Six Easy Pieces achievement - all maps have to be in player's inventory for it to trigger. On my most recent playthrough I've been putting the maps on the wall as soon as they were found and missed it as a result.
