@@neoplante yea by the end I had done all the side quests but I was missing like 10 shells and nowadays I just don’t have the patience for wandering worlds looking for collectables.

This ending absolutely shouldn't have been tied to getting all the conchs. Everything else needed to get it is reasonable, but the conchs are too much.
It really feels bad because I did all the side quests with pleasure, but when I found out that there was one stone not glowing, and it showed me the guy asking for the conchs... I immediately searched for this video. Too bad because that true ending final boss looks cool.
@@Cosmikubro, it took me an hour w a guide to find the 30 I missed. not that bad, and the true last boss was way more than the pushover that was Elysan'darelle
@@imneveruploadinghere7180 Getting all the conch shells is *nothing* like the idea of getting all the Korok seeds in BOTW. It's a pretty linear game and you'll have the vast majority of them simply by not being blind or lazy about getting them as you come across them. Only like maybe 10 or so are tied to doing sidequests that you actually need to go out of your way for in any significant manner. I'd agree that they should give you it at like 58 conches, though. Figuring out where you might have missed the last one or two can be a bit frustrating.
Just finished this game. Really took me back to my childhood playing these types of adventure JRPG games. Bravo to the devs! And thank you for posting this video sir. I was too lazy to collect all those shells just to gain access to this.
This ending was so good. A sprite based game like this has never made me feel as much as this one. Thanks for sharing, since I got only 46 conchs on my run.
Thanks a ton for posting this! I did everything except the frickin conches cuz i could not be bothered to spend the time tracking the last 13 down. Great to be able to see the content stuck behind that in full!
I don't want to insult anybody who's really enjoying the new Final Fantasy, but I purchased it with a Christmas gift card and it was so boring I had to stop playing it... This game? I am frothing at the mouth, I am vibrating in my seat for news of their next game. True modern classic.
I sort of wish the original ending was it. This one completely undermines some major themes in the main game. I felt like they did grief (and basically a terminal illness scenario) so well, and the characters were affected and kept going despite a major loss. As someone that dealt with grief recently, I was sort of upset because in reality you can't undo a death of someone close to you. Other games have done resurrections like this, but Garl's death and the aftermath were so impactful and felt permanent like a real death does. Visiting his grave felt like real loss. This ending almost felt like a dream, a non-canon situation. Like when I think about calling someone who passed, and realize that I can't, but wonder what it'd be like if they were still here. Reverse funeral? That's borderline disrespectul after making me relive some tough emotions. This is fantasy, I suppose, but it really felt like a misstep. Considering I loved the game, when I replay it in the future I'm absolutely stopping at the original ending.
I really enjoyed the game but I am glad I am not the only one that felt the true ending kind of cheapened the impact of the plot. That is not to say resurrections are fully out of the picture but in this case the way they set up Garl's death to be this big emotional event and then nullify it while also creating a huge time paradox and plot hole kind of feels bad to me. For this resurrection to work you would need to suspend all disbelief and somehow believe that B'st had Garl's memories and could see the visions that Garl was granted before he died. He would then need to perform every single step accurately as possible so that no one would know anything was off.
@@Dolgorath I've heard people compare it to Chrono Trigger, but in that game it's readily apparent that it might not be permanent. It wasn't a huge theme, more of a shocker. In this, he was gone for almost half my playthrough as I did stuff around the world. I had already moved forward, the characters grieved, and then they sort of flipped the script in a confusing manner. For me, it felt kind of ghoulish when he was back and we pretended this was totally normal.
Big agree, I deflated when i came here to watch this and see the first thing is "save your friend" like. It was such an impactful story beat, why erase it? Another game I really enjoyed did the same thing and it made me so mad lol There's nothing wrong with the original ending, I thought it was good. When it popped up that I had MORE to do to get something else I was like ?????? What else is there???? Great game tho. Still enjoyed it a lot.
I will never forget how badass of a character Garl is. The dude has infinite bravery first of all, dies, come back, is still loyal to his friends, throws an apple at the main villains face and then proceeds to just smack the shit out of him all while calling him a loser. Everyone needs a friend like Garl.
what if your father and you were forced to fight him after you revived your father but he succumbed again leaving you 1v1 80 yrs later and no one knows what became of you and the battle what would you do ?
One of the best game I've played in a while, everything was fantastic, the gameplay, the soundtrack, the artstyle, even the story got progressively better, but the endings... both of them were unsatisfactory and nonsensical. First thing that turned me off was Garl coming back to life, like before that i was thinking "Finally a game that doesn't have the cliche of important chracters going back to life", but then it all tumbled down. Secondly, why the #### did the main characters let the Flashmancer just go away like that? They were so determined to stop him and out of nowhere just let him escape??? I absolutely loved the game, but if it wasn't for the ending, it would definitely go into my top 3 best games I've ever played.
This game is a masterpiece. I dont have the time or will to go for a hunt for the damn conches and wtv but this was a nice touch. Old garl is the best.
Yeah, the ultimate villain enters a portal after not being defeated, and the 2 main characters fly around space for no apparent reason. What a masterpiece.
@@TheIncognitusMeYou don't have to like the ending, but they fly around fighting world eaters. You can't kill reshan or aetherul. They are both immortal and have been fighting each other for millions of years. If there was a way to kill the other they would have found it. You also can't trap them either as they both can teleport.
@@zackarymadden7908 What world eaters are you talking about? All the Dwellers are dead, and there's no implication whatsoever that Zale and Valere are capable of going to other worlds and killing World Eaters there. There's also really no justification for this notion that Aephorul and Resh'an can't be killed. Especially when I'm the main character and I can do whatever I want with enough "I can feel the power" cutscenes.
@@TheIncognitusMedo you not understand what being immortal means? Also they left to defeat other world eaters in other worlds. They literally said they felt it after they defeated the Fleshmancer
@@rockermack7903 They didn’t defeat the fleshmancer, and they said they felt the one they killed. Then they said they “had a lot of work to do.” There’s not even an implication they’re going around defeating World Eaters AFAIK. There’s just vague nonsense cause the premise and plot are dumb. Voldemort was immortal, and he’s dead. Nobody is immortal. It’s just a pretense for their eventual defeat.
The true ending definitely has a much more joyous reunion! im glad for this game - its a short one but its a really charming title. The credit rolls are massive!!

@@dinofarabithe conch thing doesnt even make sense too. The other quests are all character based and expand on lore but the conches are just crappy collectibles
Great ending! just like everyone else, I finished game and came here for this ending lol. I ended up with 48 conches and unfortunately I just didn't have the will nor the time to go back and collect all 60 to unlock this ending. Cheers for the video though! great stuff!
I swear i started balling at 49:02 on my playthrough. This was one of those games where you just don't truly know how much of a masterpiece it was until you've finished it for a few days
@@TheBpendleton44 Then I'll feel free to disagree, but I'm curious to see what's your point of view, your reasoning as to why it's a masterpiece ? I felt the dialogue was pretty shallow, the two protagonists have the personality of a shrimp, Garl was put too much in the spotlight and pretty much was a gary stu. Honestly, I started liking the game after the first 20 hours, when you get the boat (which is a bit late to become interesting). From that point, everything accelerates and gets more intense, more epic, it's good ! But it doesn't seem like the game knew where to go with that, and tne last few hours of the game feels rushed. Unless you have a done a few hundred chores to get the true ending, you don't know what happens to Brugraves, to the 4 cultists, and the final boss is just a giant Erlina, and it isn't even hard ! It just ends on a "There's no way that's it... Oh wait, that's actually it". And the true ending gets us some answers, but I don't understand why you need to get Garl back to fight the Fleshmancer. (And the way he just disappears with Reshan is a bit disappointing, too)
@mucrulu7646 same reason i thought nier automata and persona 5 royal were masterpieces. S-tier music, fantastic story, and likeable characters who had a fleshed out arc
@@mucrulu7646Play the messenger then talk allat about not knowing anything. Brugaves, the fate of all four acolytes, time shards, the identity of the artificer, manfred, cloud ruins, elemental skylands and who made clockwork concierge. As for Sea of Stars, this is obviously not the entire thing. They will expand more on this world. This is like a standalone story in a vast universe. Basically all plot points were understandable and made sense. If you'd play the game with no willingness to understand even when its clearly spelled out to you what happened to Brugaves and tbe Acolytes then frankly thats on you chief. Plugging your ears and bashing your head deep in the sand doesnt make you more righteous and educated than others just saying 😂.
Thank's for posting this. This will be one of my most memorable games I have played and it excels in categories that many games don't put a lot of effort into. I only wish that this was released back when I was a kid so that I could spend countless hours figuring out every piece of content on my own and not worry about managing my time and balancing other games like I do now.
Just finished this game. Really gave me that feeling of excitement that only these kinds of RPGs can provide. Bravo to the devs! And thank you for posting this video. I was too lazy to collect all those shells lol
I didn’t think I would endure getting everything for this, and I had a feeling this was the hidden reward, so I spoiled it for myself by looking it up… and ended up getting it anyway. And it didn’t feel like a chore at all. I had fun all the way there, and a big smile watching everything unfold.
37:22 so satisfying when Garl backhands the sh*t out of Aephorul haha. I luckily ended the fight with Garl's ultimate attack which was also very satisfying. The canon final blow imo.
There are so many worlds. I had no idea. I love how this basically alludes to the idea that there are other video game worlds that need saving and that we must go now and beat them. And then they ask if we'll return to which we reply, you bet. I love it
Both of the endings are terrible. Zale and Valere just go fly around the universe completely unprompted and you fight a world eater in an asteroids section. It's honestly insultingly bad.
As cute as the true ending is, I feel that it creates a massive time paradox and plot hole. In Chrono Trigger, Crono literally is burned to ash in front of everyone instantaneously, so replacing him with the puppet is something that could easily be done. In Sea of Stars, Garl did not die instantly. Instead he was given one final near death vision as well as a task to do before dying, via the flask of borrowed time. So by swapping out Garl with B'st you need to suspend your disbelief that B'st could somehow act out and do everything he was supposed to do as Garl - See the visions, ask for the flask, perform the tasks needed to calm the sleeper and then recall heartfelt memories as he died that only he and Zale and Valere would know. So again, cute ending, but it doesn't really make any sense.
@@Dolgorath Way more problems with the ending than that. For one, where did Resh'an and Aephorul go? Why did Resh'an leave? What did he do? Why did Zale and Valere randomly gain the ability to sense a World Eater? Why was there a World Eater? Why was there no build up to it? What the hell are Zale and Valere doing flying around space when they've presumably at this point killed all the Dwellers and Aephorul is gone? And why is the writing so terrible in general? So many questions left unanswered.
Hiding the true ending behind the collectables was a bs move. I felt the game respected my time, just to take a massive dump on me after about 30 hours.
Not really since it doesn't require the frequent grind most studios call content, or missable items, just exploring the game's content with a couple hidden quests. Some conches are a bit well hidden but most players should get at least 57--58/60 easily just by carefully looking around. There are no hard fights you'll have to retry for hours, all bosses are winnable on first try with the 40% relic on (very recommended item)
@@redvex2114 game propagandist. i'd agree with you if naturally i was 80% there by the game's end like you claimed. but that just isnt true at all. once you get to The Fated Hour where the game directs you to do the final battle, a slew of optional quests opens up. and I got about 30some conches by the time the game ended, and i looked. what you are saying is objectively untrue.
@@isturbo1984 Well, i played through the whole thing without consulting a walkthrough (I guess that'll be the case of almost everyone) until that (useful) step of encountering a popup saying "this is the final boss, you can also do the secondary stuff" at that point iirc, all that I was needing was: -4 Conches -3 Quiz thingies -Arena Gold & Special Ranks -Turning in 2 plans in Mirth because I forgot to check the NPC Nah, I don't have a different version of the title nor a 80 hours counter by hugging every wall (ok, i still do that more than everyone i'm sure) I wasn't of course aware of the second ending, but i remembered about that stone ring earlier and also backtracking to that blue crystal barrier next to it (spoiler: it's a conch, again) So what pretty much happened was clearing the endgame spot twice during that evening. If you call this a grind, gaming must be a solid disgusting chore to you 😄 NB: I agree the reply was "propagandist" but that game deserves a bit of it, in that 2023 ocean of BS called _gaming_ . Also it's rewarded better than usual, instead of a worthless Steam "you did it" achievement, you get an appropriate boss fight where sometimes it's just hitting 3 weak spots or spamming QTEs 'til it goes poof.
@@redvex2114 really? youre going to whip out the gaming cred. okay, i'll bite. why dont you add up all your achievements and game time. we'll see who has better stats... because i'll win. if you have to resort to pettiness to get you rpoint across, maybe your point wasnt that great to begin with. i'm super happy you had no issue going out of your way to do all the side quests and all 60 of the collectables. but saying that isnt a grind or chore, you sound like a clown.
Didn’t realize the ending was tied to getting all the conches. I just felt the need to get all of them and found it fun to search for all of them before going after the final area for the first time. Glad I did that!
Yeah. Its worth getting the rainbow counches. If the game made me cry when loosing a friend, gotdamn am i gonna 100% this game. Gotdamn those were some good af feelings. Couches were intimidating, but that parrot and a guide really helped me out to achieve such a satisfying ending.
Seriously, so many of you are complaining about some bosses and 60 conches. I don’t get it. Have NONE of you ever heard of Assassin’s Creed II’s feathers, Batman: Arkham series Riddler Trophies, or Korok Seeds in the Zelda games? Or any of the various collectibles in the Lego games? Those are FAR more ridiculous. And there are hundreds of those. 60 is NOTHING.
Agreed. Plus after your first run, you tend to notice the particularly sneaky ones much more easily. And I don't get why people are having issues with the true ending. Yes, we get Garl back, but to me it doesn't undermine the loss. No one aside from Reshan had any idea they'd get him back. If we all had opportunities to bring back loved ones whose times were cut short we would. And plus, not having the true ending means losing out on the awesome fight against Aephorul. That would have been ending Chrono Trigger with clobbering Queen Zeal and watching Lavos bail out. My only complaint is that you have to get the base ending first.
Unfortunately another case of a game that loses itself somewhat by the end because of that freaking shell collecting. Doing the sidequests would've been perfect, or even making it require half of the conches but not all of them.
Who was the red guy with Erlina? And what happened to Burgaves? Kinda lame you dont kill Aephorul. The guy destroys planets and turns people in to Eldritch Horrors but everyones just cool with it in the end? Dont know why hardly any of the villains in this game DIE. They are some fucked up people but you just kick their ass and hope they dont be bad anymore 🤣
It's indeed frustrating that the villains don't die, but I can understand a bit for the ones that need to survive to be in The messenger even though it feels lazy.
If you read the story from Tweaks about "the 2 alchemists" you understand that initially they both created great things for the humanity, then Aephorul went crazy due the curse of the immortality and shits. Resh'an never wanted his friend to die, just to get back on the right track. I do understand the frustration but the whole story was a big plan from Resh'an, from bringing the two solstice warriors as the great eagle to make them ascend as Solen and Luana to bring peace.
@@applesauce6162Yes. There are dozens of Easter eggs in Sea of Stars, as it is a prequel to The Messenger. Play the Messenger after this and you’ll see. Brugaves is the demon, and the 4 cultists are combined into one to become the Demon King in the Messenger. The first boss in the Messenger is the tree boss from SoS that throws leaves at you.
We need a patch that show conchs on on the map or remove the mandatory to collect all. Great game but idk what devs think while adding such a boring task.
Isn't this time travel created a plot hole? Now that Garl is switched with B'st, it is b'st who tame the sleeper not Garl. So the prophecy for Garl to tame the sleeper is now false and we also have the new great cook , b'st. LOL
@@Radianx001 Garl did get pulled from past before he did all of those things tho so I agree with the op that it created a plothole which wasn't mentioned at all
I couldn't find 2 conches, so I had to watch this video. Definitely a better ending - that most people who play probably wont even see. I think they should've had this ending either way and had something more trivial as a prize for completing everything
My only complaint with this game is that they locked the true ending behind collecting 60 dumbass shells. Game was amazing and I love it but I’m not doing all that back tracking and running around lol
The true ending is good but it is a fanservice ending because It have a huge plot hole is B'st copy garl, he became fake garl. He do all the thing garl do like brow time, cook the breed, give the sleeper a name and talk like garl, his friend not even know he is not garl. He like became garl. But how ? The game never give us the hint that B'st have power to copy people like a doppelganger. This is come our of nowhere. The normal ending is more logic than the true ending
I will never understand why they put this behind "Gather all 60 Rainbow Conchs". The other sidequests, sure. Fixing Mirth, sure. But the collectathon?! W H Y ?
man, i don’t know about this. it was really special and important when garl died, and it gave a lot of weight and power to the story. i liked the post game fights and everything but i kinda wish they left well enough alone
This is a much better ending. I quite frankly didnt enjoy the game enough to continue and try get true ending. I had about 50 conches or so by end game and am too proud to look up guides and dont care enough to find the remaining ones myself lol. I simply came here to see the ending and I am glad I did. :)
just finished the standard ending, really wanted to beat the side content but couldnt be asked to get all the shells. was pretty disappointed with this ending, getting garl back was a poor narrative decision imo, the lore of this game is really cool but the actual story telling fell pretty flat for me. Game play/ music and environments were the highlights for sure.
You need to gather 4 of them to unlock the dev room and a bit of cool text thanking you for playing etc. One is for this fight, the other you get for getting various side-collectables, so to speak, done fully.
I loved this game, but I didn't like that they go away at the end, where did Resh'an take him? Why we were so cool about it? After all the bad things he did, he deserved to die... why are they just walking away?
So we're just not gonna question 46:24? Like is that Brugaves after he stepped into the portal? Wtf even is that place that they're in? The ending was satisfying as hell, sure, but i still have questions that require immediate answers lmao But all in all 10/10 indie game, I haven't had this much fun playing one since Dust the Elysian Tail (another banger of an Indie game, highly recommend if y'all haven't played it yet lmao)
To everyone saying it wasn’t worth the 60 conches, you’re just lazy. It was totally worth it. I got rewarded for exploring and enjoying the game. The fight alone was worth it.
loved the game but somehow for me after beating it the quests for the true ending didn't trigger or I did something wrong .... went to the swamp to talk with that undead but nothing even following several faqs, nothing .... so I gave up. Thanks for uploading the true ending, I was kinda waiting for Garl the whole time and was super surprised it didn't happen.
The Duke? You have to talk with your ghost navigator on the ship (press L1 while on the sea), she will tell you about the Duke and then you have to fly to the island near the graveyard and check the ruins
I'm torn between "The normal ending was so bad compared to how good the rest of the game was I uninstalled the game out of anger" and "Garl's dying and eventual death was so emotionally impactful and powerful for me that bringing him back to life spit in the face of how well they did his story." All I want is to fight the REAL final boss, not some bum lieutenant but have Garl stay dead. Is that so hard to ask?
Calling it a 'proper' ending is really kind of a misnomer. It's more like an alternative ending, really. And really, the consequences are basically the same in both situations, just one you get Garl back and the other you dont. It's not like you ever actually kill the main villain in either situation. There's no reason that one ending is more 'canonically' sensible than the other.
Yeah good point @@maynardburger , I wrote my comment halfway through watching the video and thought it was going to continue to be quite different. I think I found the conclusion quite abrupt in the regular ending. Loved the game otherwise.
To understand the full lore, first thing you have to know its about THE MESSENGER, the first game of Sabotage Studios. Sea of Stars its a prequel of this game, and between the development, a Discord group of fans made up some characthers of an alternative reality for The Messenger lore and ReshAn and Aephorul was created in there, so the true is they are a fan service of the devs to the comunity and kind of a inpair entities.
Well it can be seen as aephorul giving up because he was finally defeated by Solen and Luana, meaning he lost his ability to rule. His world eaters would be destroyed anyway but he did not want that so he decided to just accept that he can no longer win
Thanks for uploading this. Wanted to see the "real ending" but didn't feel like the game was good enough to do all the side stuff in order to unlock it.
collected all conch, doing all subquests. But too lazy to defeat the true final boss myself. Got bired with the battle. Thanks for the video. This is a good game, but somehow I can't enjoy it and didnt really click with the music and story unfortunately. 7/10 is the my score
I wish we could see serai full human instead of the gross robot mouth, she shouldve also been at the end with the crew, she was there since the beginning basically.
It is part of the Lore I think. Since Zale and Valere defeated the main villain, they ascended. Hence, they became immortal and Guardian Gods to many worlds!
I wasn’t even close to dying but I couldn’t be bothered to finish this last fight. It went on way too long - life’s too short! I was hoping for a proper sort of story ending but all it was a bullet sponge that in my case literally bored me so bad I couldn’t continue with what seemed like a never ending sequence of the same thing over and over. I’d rather have died but be getting closer each try than just doing the same variations on a theme over and over. Anyway bar this I did enjoy the game but the conches were a complete pain at the end. I managed to finish and only have around 20! Traipsed that bloody map to get the other 40 only for boredom to get me in the end. Such is life - maybe there’s a message in that? For those that did finish I salute you!
the boss is really easy tho, you only need to, well, have serai do disorientation and arcane burst (the one where she kicks the alchemist sand glasses) to delay his turn everytime he tries to cast something
You are right. If you die in the spaceship shooter part, your damage to the fleshmancer will be reseted and you have to fight again to the spaceship shooter part. And if you die again....thats the reason some people kill him in 15 minutes and some people fight an hour. Extremly silly mechanic.
Thanks for posting this. It saved me hours collecting all sea shells just to see a true ending that sucks just as much has the normal one. With expectation of Garls story, the game just gave up in the end

I felt like they did grief (and basically a terminal illness scenario) so well, and the characters were affected and kept going despite a major loss. As someone that dealt with grief recently, I was sort of upset because in reality you can't undo a death of someone close to you. Other games have done resurrections like this, but Garl's death and the aftermath were so impactful and felt permanent like a real death does. Visiting his grave felt like real loss.
This ending almost felt like a dream, a non-canon situation. Like when I think about calling someone who passed, and realize that I can't, but wonder what it'd be like if they were still here. Reverse funeral? That's borderline disrespectul after making me relive some tough emotions. This is fantasy, I suppose, but it really felt like a misstep.
Considering I loved the game, when I replay it in the future I'm absolutely stopping at the original ending.
I really enjoyed the game but I am glad I am not the only one that felt the true ending kind of cheapened the impact of the plot. That is not to say resurrections are fully out of the picture but in this case the way they set up Garl's death to be this big emotional event and then nullify it while also creating a huge time paradox and plot hole kind of feels bad to me.
For this resurrection to work you would need to suspend all disbelief and somehow believe that B'st had Garl's memories and could see the visions that Garl was granted before he died. He would then need to perform every single step accurately as possible so that no one would know anything was off.
@@Dolgorath I've heard people compare it to Chrono Trigger, but in that game it's readily apparent that it might not be permanent. It wasn't a huge theme, more of a shocker. In this, he was gone for almost half my playthrough as I did stuff around the world. I had already moved forward, the characters grieved, and then they sort of flipped the script in a confusing manner. For me, it felt kind of ghoulish when he was back and we pretended this was totally normal.
Big agree, I deflated when i came here to watch this and see the first thing is "save your friend" like. It was such an impactful story beat, why erase it? Another game I really enjoyed did the same thing and it made me so mad lol There's nothing wrong with the original ending, I thought it was good. When it popped up that I had MORE to do to get something else I was like ?????? What else is there????
Great game tho. Still enjoyed it a lot.
I will never forget how badass of a character Garl is. The dude has infinite bravery first of all, dies, come back, is still loyal to his friends, throws an apple at the main villains face and then proceeds to just smack the shit out of him all while calling him a loser. Everyone needs a friend like Garl.
that ending is too perfect, garl truly is the MVP.
what if your father and you were forced to fight him after you revived your father but he succumbed again leaving you 1v1 80 yrs later and no one knows what became of you and the battle what would you do ?
@@user-ix6ic1bw2i I'd still love Garl and I would simply accept my fate.
garl is the real main character of sea of stars
@@user-ix6ic1bw2iwtf are you saying? I wanted to follow but.. ??
One of the best game I've played in a while, everything was fantastic, the gameplay, the soundtrack, the artstyle, even the story got progressively better, but the endings... both of them were unsatisfactory and nonsensical. First thing that turned me off was Garl coming back to life, like before that i was thinking "Finally a game that doesn't have the cliche of important chracters going back to life", but then it all tumbled down. Secondly, why the #### did the main characters let the Flashmancer just go away like that? They were so determined to stop him and out of nowhere just let him escape???
I absolutely loved the game, but if it wasn't for the ending, it would definitely go into my top 3 best games I've ever played.
This game is a masterpiece. I dont have the time or will to go for a hunt for the damn conches and wtv but this was a nice touch. Old garl is the best.
Yeah, the ultimate villain enters a portal after not being defeated, and the 2 main characters fly around space for no apparent reason. What a masterpiece.
@@TheIncognitusMeYou don't have to like the ending, but they fly around fighting world eaters. You can't kill reshan or aetherul. They are both immortal and have been fighting each other for millions of years. If there was a way to kill the other they would have found it. You also can't trap them either as they both can teleport.
@@zackarymadden7908 What world eaters are you talking about? All the Dwellers are dead, and there's no implication whatsoever that Zale and Valere are capable of going to other worlds and killing World Eaters there.
There's also really no justification for this notion that Aephorul and Resh'an can't be killed. Especially when I'm the main character and I can do whatever I want with enough "I can feel the power" cutscenes.
@@TheIncognitusMedo you not understand what being immortal means? Also they left to defeat other world eaters in other worlds. They literally said they felt it after they defeated the Fleshmancer
@@rockermack7903 They didn’t defeat the fleshmancer, and they said they felt the one they killed. Then they said they “had a lot of work to do.” There’s not even an implication they’re going around defeating World Eaters AFAIK. There’s just vague nonsense cause the premise and plot are dumb.
Voldemort was immortal, and he’s dead. Nobody is immortal. It’s just a pretense for their eventual defeat.
The true ending definitely has a much more joyous reunion! im glad for this game - its a short one but its a really charming title. The credit rolls are massive!!

The Game IS awesome but the only complain that I have is that you need the 60 shells to reach this. It wasn't necessary
Especially with how tedious traversing throughout different maps is. Plus, the only way to know if there's a conch is with the parrot
@@dinofarabithe conch thing doesnt even make sense too. The other quests are all character based and expand on lore but the conches are just crappy collectibles
Great ending! just like everyone else, I finished game and came here for this ending lol. I ended up with 48 conches and unfortunately I just didn't have the will nor the time to go back and collect all 60 to unlock this ending. Cheers for the video though! great stuff!
I swear i started balling at 49:02 on my playthrough. This was one of those games where you just don't truly know how much of a masterpiece it was until you've finished it for a few days
A masterpiece, a masterpiece, let's not get ahead of ourselves now
@@mucrulu7646 i and many others would consider it a masterpiece. Feel free to disagree
@@TheBpendleton44 Then I'll feel free to disagree, but I'm curious to see what's your point of view, your reasoning as to why it's a masterpiece ? I felt the dialogue was pretty shallow, the two protagonists have the personality of a shrimp, Garl was put too much in the spotlight and pretty much was a gary stu.
Honestly, I started liking the game after the first 20 hours, when you get the boat (which is a bit late to become interesting). From that point, everything accelerates and gets more intense, more epic, it's good !
But it doesn't seem like the game knew where to go with that, and tne last few hours of the game feels rushed. Unless you have a done a few hundred chores to get the true ending, you don't know what happens to Brugraves, to the 4 cultists, and the final boss is just a giant Erlina, and it isn't even hard ! It just ends on a "There's no way that's it... Oh wait, that's actually it". And the true ending gets us some answers, but I don't understand why you need to get Garl back to fight the Fleshmancer. (And the way he just disappears with Reshan is a bit disappointing, too)
@mucrulu7646 same reason i thought nier automata and persona 5 royal were masterpieces. S-tier music, fantastic story, and likeable characters who had a fleshed out arc
@@mucrulu7646Play the messenger then talk allat about not knowing anything.
Brugaves, the fate of all four acolytes, time shards, the identity of the artificer, manfred, cloud ruins, elemental skylands and who made clockwork concierge.
As for Sea of Stars, this is obviously not the entire thing. They will expand more on this world. This is like a standalone story in a vast universe.
Basically all plot points were understandable and made sense. If you'd play the game with no willingness to understand even when its clearly spelled out to you what happened to Brugaves and tbe Acolytes then frankly thats on you chief.
Plugging your ears and bashing your head deep in the sand doesnt make you more righteous and educated than others just saying 😂.
Thank's for posting this. This will be one of my most memorable games I have played and it excels in categories that many games don't put a lot of effort into. I only wish that this was released back when I was a kid so that I could spend countless hours figuring out every piece of content on my own and not worry about managing my time and balancing other games like I do now.
💯💯💯!!
I didn’t care if I had to get all those damn conchs. I WANTED MY BABY BOY GARL BACK!!
Just finished this game. Really gave me that feeling of excitement that only these kinds of RPGs can provide. Bravo to the devs!
And thank you for posting this video. I was too lazy to collect all those shells lol
Thanks a lot. What an ending too. Fantastic game all around.
I didn’t think I would endure getting everything for this, and I had a feeling this was the hidden reward, so I spoiled it for myself by looking it up… and ended up getting it anyway.
And it didn’t feel like a chore at all. I had fun all the way there, and a big smile watching everything unfold.
💯💯💯💯💯!! Exact SAME EXPERIENCE, as YOU playboy!
37:22 so satisfying when Garl backhands the sh*t out of Aephorul haha. I luckily ended the fight with Garl's ultimate attack which was also very satisfying. The canon final blow imo.
37:21 that was FUCKING PERSONAL, and I loved it so much
Just an absolutely stunning game. Sabotage just can’t stop winning.
What a great ending. If only it wasn’t tied to collecting all those conchs
hell nah, ain't going thru all that just to get this ending. thank god for youtube. I'm old and I have things to do.
same here, here we are, this ending is just perfect, the devs really made a big mistake with this desicion.
There are so many worlds. I had no idea.
I love how this basically alludes to the idea that there are other video game worlds that need saving and that we must go now and beat them. And then they ask if we'll return to which we reply, you bet. I love it
Garls ULT alone made me hunt down those damn shells. Had to earn that myself ! Fantastic game for sure !
They pulled a Chrono Trigger revival with this one. This ending is soo much better than the regular ending.
Regular ending is unsatisfied
@@mahendrap1960Not too mention the normal final boss. Extremely underwhelming
Both of the endings are terrible. Zale and Valere just go fly around the universe completely unprompted and you fight a world eater in an asteroids section. It's honestly insultingly bad.
As cute as the true ending is, I feel that it creates a massive time paradox and plot hole.
In Chrono Trigger, Crono literally is burned to ash in front of everyone instantaneously, so replacing him with the puppet is something that could easily be done.
In Sea of Stars, Garl did not die instantly. Instead he was given one final near death vision as well as a task to do before dying, via the flask of borrowed time.
So by swapping out Garl with B'st you need to suspend your disbelief that B'st could somehow act out and do everything he was supposed to do as Garl - See the visions, ask for the flask, perform the tasks needed to calm the sleeper and then recall heartfelt memories as he died that only he and Zale and Valere would know.
So again, cute ending, but it doesn't really make any sense.
@@Dolgorath Way more problems with the ending than that. For one, where did Resh'an and Aephorul go? Why did Resh'an leave? What did he do? Why did Zale and Valere randomly gain the ability to sense a World Eater? Why was there a World Eater? Why was there no build up to it? What the hell are Zale and Valere doing flying around space when they've presumably at this point killed all the Dwellers and Aephorul is gone? And why is the writing so terrible in general?
So many questions left unanswered.
The two warriors are still young after many years have passed since garl become an old man XD
They are Gods, they are eternal and they are still around by the time of the events of The Messenger.
Hiding the true ending behind the collectables was a bs move. I felt the game respected my time, just to take a massive dump on me after about 30 hours.
Not really since it doesn't require the frequent grind most studios call content, or missable items, just exploring the game's content with a couple hidden quests.
Some conches are a bit well hidden but most players should get at least 57--58/60 easily just by carefully looking around. There are no hard fights you'll have to retry for hours, all bosses are winnable on first try with the 40% relic on (very recommended item)
@@redvex2114 game propagandist. i'd agree with you if naturally i was 80% there by the game's end like you claimed. but that just isnt true at all. once you get to The Fated Hour where the game directs you to do the final battle, a slew of optional quests opens up. and I got about 30some conches by the time the game ended, and i looked. what you are saying is objectively untrue.
@@isturbo1984 Well, i played through the whole thing without consulting a walkthrough (I guess that'll be the case of almost everyone) until that (useful) step of encountering a popup saying "this is the final boss, you can also do the secondary stuff" at that point iirc, all that I was needing was:
-4 Conches
-3 Quiz thingies
-Arena Gold & Special Ranks
-Turning in 2 plans in Mirth because I forgot to check the NPC
Nah, I don't have a different version of the title nor a 80 hours counter by hugging every wall (ok, i still do that more than everyone i'm sure)
I wasn't of course aware of the second ending, but i remembered about that stone ring earlier and also backtracking to that blue crystal barrier next to it (spoiler: it's a conch, again) So what pretty much happened was clearing the endgame spot twice during that evening.
If you call this a grind, gaming must be a solid disgusting chore to you 😄
NB: I agree the reply was "propagandist" but that game deserves a bit of it, in that 2023 ocean of BS called _gaming_ . Also it's rewarded better than usual, instead of a worthless Steam "you did it" achievement, you get an appropriate boss fight where sometimes it's just hitting 3 weak spots or spamming QTEs 'til it goes poof.
@@redvex2114 really? youre going to whip out the gaming cred. okay, i'll bite. why dont you add up all your achievements and game time. we'll see who has better stats... because i'll win. if you have to resort to pettiness to get you rpoint across, maybe your point wasnt that great to begin with. i'm super happy you had no issue going out of your way to do all the side quests and all 60 of the collectables. but saying that isnt a grind or chore, you sound like a clown.
Tyvm! Amazing game. Wanted to see the true ending, but im not collecting all those conchs
What a beautiful game ❤❤❤
Didn’t realize the ending was tied to getting all the conches. I just felt the need to get all of them and found it fun to search for all of them before going after the final area for the first time. Glad I did that!
Yeah. Its worth getting the rainbow counches.
If the game made me cry when loosing a friend, gotdamn am i gonna 100% this game.
Gotdamn those were some good af feelings. Couches were intimidating, but that parrot and a guide really helped me out to achieve such a satisfying ending.
With crosscode some of my fav short games haha
Beste spiel 😉
48:38 it took me quite a while to realize that this is the secret cave that they always be together since childhood, man what a game🥹
Seriously, so many of you are complaining about some bosses and 60 conches. I don’t get it. Have NONE of you ever heard of Assassin’s Creed II’s feathers, Batman: Arkham series Riddler Trophies, or Korok Seeds in the Zelda games? Or any of the various collectibles in the Lego games? Those are FAR more ridiculous. And there are hundreds of those. 60 is NOTHING.
Agreed. Plus after your first run, you tend to notice the particularly sneaky ones much more easily. And I don't get why people are having issues with the true ending. Yes, we get Garl back, but to me it doesn't undermine the loss. No one aside from Reshan had any idea they'd get him back. If we all had opportunities to bring back loved ones whose times were cut short we would. And plus, not having the true ending means losing out on the awesome fight against Aephorul. That would have been ending Chrono Trigger with clobbering Queen Zeal and watching Lavos bail out. My only complaint is that you have to get the base ending first.
I couldn't find one shell so I just decided to watch this instead. Rashan saving the fleshmancer though? What the hell?
Does anyone know what the theme for the world eater is called? Because it goes hard.
Garl should’ve been the main character haha. Loved this game so much!!
He always was, in a way.
he was. Garl is Samwise Gamgee to the Solstice Warriors' collective Frodo
i didn't want to do the conches so i searched up the locations of them, it was easy and totally worth it since i already had about 50
Unfortunately another case of a game that loses itself somewhat by the end because of that freaking shell collecting. Doing the sidequests would've been perfect, or even making it require half of the conches but not all of them.
This ending had me in tears
Who was the red guy with Erlina? And what happened to Burgaves? Kinda lame you dont kill Aephorul. The guy destroys planets and turns people in to Eldritch Horrors but everyones just cool with it in the end? Dont know why hardly any of the villains in this game DIE. They are some fucked up people but you just kick their ass and hope they dont be bad anymore 🤣
The red demon is Brugaves. The Fleshmancer gave said he was giving him a new form when he took him in :)
It's indeed frustrating that the villains don't die, but I can understand a bit for the ones that need to survive to be in The messenger even though it feels lazy.
@@applesauce6162the name of the red demon is also Barma'thazël. He's a villain in The messenger.
If you read the story from Tweaks about "the 2 alchemists" you understand that initially they both created great things for the humanity, then Aephorul went crazy due the curse of the immortality and shits.
Resh'an never wanted his friend to die, just to get back on the right track.
I do understand the frustration but the whole story was a big plan from Resh'an, from bringing the two solstice warriors as the great eagle to make them ascend as Solen and Luana to bring peace.
@@applesauce6162Yes. There are dozens of Easter eggs in Sea of Stars, as it is a prequel to The Messenger.
Play the Messenger after this and you’ll see.
Brugaves is the demon, and the 4 cultists are combined into one to become the Demon King in the Messenger.
The first boss in the Messenger is the tree boss from SoS that throws leaves at you.
45:21 Serai groovin 😂
I went in for a classic jrpg, and it turned out to be a box pushing puzzle game. I did the main quest and that’s about all I could stomach.
Hi, Sir. Can you share your save file? I don't have time for the conch shells but I really wanna fight the last boss :( Im sorry
I completed all the side questes but was unable to collect all the Rainbow conchs I finally gave up.
The SONG my dudes... THE SONG
Im really glad i did not waste my time collecting those conch shells
We need a patch that show conchs on on the map or remove the mandatory to collect all. Great game but idk what devs think while adding such a boring task.
Thought the standard ending and the boss were fine. If it had a better fast travel option, I may have gone back and collected all those Conchs
I wanted to do this but i had like 27 conch's to go just didn't want to do all that
Isn't this time travel created a plot hole? Now that Garl is switched with B'st, it is b'st who tame the sleeper not Garl. So the prophecy for Garl to tame the sleeper is now false and we also have the new great cook , b'st. LOL
Garl does that before dying for the first time, so not plot hole there.
@@Radianx001 Garl did get pulled from past before he did all of those things tho so I agree with the op that it created a plothole which wasn't mentioned at all
@@Conqutih welp, it is implied that in Sea of Stars there are multiple universes, so maybe that event created an alternate timeline?
I couldn't find 2 conches, so I had to watch this video. Definitely a better ending - that most people who play probably wont even see. I think they should've had this ending either way and had something more trivial as a prize for completing everything
I ain't going back for the last three rainbow conchs. Let me just watch...
Use the parrot, you'll find them in no time.
lol, just 3? bruh, I was missing 30 of em, and it only took me an hour or so to backtrack for them all
Does anyone think that demon at the end is brugraves cause it sorta seems like that since erlina
my only complain after finish is that we don't kill the fleshmancer
Im just here because my game bugged out and I can't collect the last rainbow... Stillpond Island, the chast is behind a Bush and I can't access it.
Maybe you already got that ? Try the parrot on Other Islands maybe you missed somewhere in mooncradle the "leaf or the Farmer"
Goddamit i really thought he died! Ahhhhhh I'm so happy!
What does the flimsy hammer do?
Thanks a lot for that. I absolutelly had no intention to get those 60 rainbow conchs. I trully disliked this part and wheels, so i just skipped it.
garlll
I need y'all to be honest tho; y'all cried during your first playthrough didn't you? #Iykyk 😭💙
My only complaint with this game is that they locked the true ending behind collecting 60 dumbass shells. Game was amazing and I love it but I’m not doing all that back tracking and running around lol
The true ending is good but it is a fanservice ending because It have a huge plot hole is B'st copy garl, he became fake garl. He do all the thing garl do like brow time, cook the breed, give the sleeper a name and talk like garl, his friend not even know he is not garl. He like became garl.
But how ? The game never give us the hint that B'st have power to copy people like a doppelganger. This is come our of nowhere. The normal ending is more logic than the true ending
I will never understand why they put this behind "Gather all 60 Rainbow Conchs". The other sidequests, sure. Fixing Mirth, sure. But the collectathon?! W H Y ?
Skipping the true ending fr 😭😭😭
I don't understand what happend to Brugaves and Erlina in this ending...
And also what happened with the number guys
I just went to the spa with the Garl, he said he had something to talk Serai, does anyone know anything?
Garl wants to smaaaaash
Does zale and Valere becomes immortal? That would be suck.
man, i don’t know about this. it was really special and important when garl died, and it gave a lot of weight and power to the story. i liked the post game fights and everything but i kinda wish they left well enough alone
This is a much better ending. I quite frankly didnt enjoy the game enough to continue and try get true ending. I had about 50 conches or so by end game and am too proud to look up guides and dont care enough to find the remaining ones myself lol. I simply came here to see the ending and I am glad I did. :)
lol, too proud but you dont care?
Should of had more endings... more possibilities
just finished the standard ending, really wanted to beat the side content but couldnt be asked to get all the shells. was pretty disappointed with this ending, getting garl back was a poor narrative decision imo, the lore of this game is really cool but the actual story telling fell pretty flat for me. Game play/ music and environments were the highlights for sure.
what's the final item is for?
You need to gather 4 of them to unlock the dev room and a bit of cool text thanking you for playing etc. One is for this fight, the other you get for getting various side-collectables, so to speak, done fully.
What I have to do to turn on this rocks???
normal ending
Finish the game once and then you need to collect all rainbow conchs
I have to say, I hated this ending.
We didn't get to fight the actual Fleshmancer. They just left. So dumb.
I loved this game, but I didn't like that they go away at the end, where did Resh'an take him? Why we were so cool about it? After all the bad things he did, he deserved to die... why are they just walking away?
So we're just not gonna question 46:24? Like is that Brugaves after he stepped into the portal? Wtf even is that place that they're in?
The ending was satisfying as hell, sure, but i still have questions that require immediate answers lmao
But all in all 10/10 indie game, I haven't had this much fun playing one since Dust the Elysian Tail (another banger of an Indie game, highly recommend if y'all haven't played it yet lmao)

Thanks for uploading the true ending, I couldn't bother with getting all cronches and from what I have seen it was not going to be worth it all.
loved the game but somehow for me after beating it the quests for the true ending didn't trigger or I did something wrong .... went to the swamp to talk with that undead but nothing even following several faqs, nothing .... so I gave up.
Thanks for uploading the true ending, I was kinda waiting for Garl the whole time and was super surprised it didn't happen.

@@zadek.2166 dang, didn't know that
I'm torn between "The normal ending was so bad compared to how good the rest of the game was I uninstalled the game out of anger" and "Garl's dying and eventual death was so emotionally impactful and powerful for me that bringing him back to life spit in the face of how well they did his story."
All I want is to fight the REAL final boss, not some bum lieutenant but have Garl stay dead. Is that so hard to ask?
I find it insulting that they hide the proper ending behind such an ordeal of tasks., that few people will achieve.
Calling it a 'proper' ending is really kind of a misnomer. It's more like an alternative ending, really. And really, the consequences are basically the same in both situations, just one you get Garl back and the other you dont. It's not like you ever actually kill the main villain in either situation. There's no reason that one ending is more 'canonically' sensible than the other.
Yeah good point @@maynardburger , I wrote my comment halfway through watching the video and thought it was going to continue to be quite different. I think I found the conclusion quite abrupt in the regular ending. Loved the game otherwise.
I don't quite understand this ending. Why did ReshAn help Aephorul up after the fight?
Because they are best friends.
To understand the full lore, first thing you have to know its about THE MESSENGER, the first game of Sabotage Studios. Sea of Stars its a prequel of this game, and between the development, a Discord group of fans made up some characthers of an alternative reality for The Messenger lore and ReshAn and Aephorul was created in there, so the true is they are a fan service of the devs to the comunity and kind of a inpair entities.
Well it can be seen as aephorul giving up because he was finally defeated by Solen and Luana, meaning he lost his ability to rule. His world eaters would be destroyed anyway but he did not want that so he decided to just accept that he can no longer win

collected all conch, doing all subquests. But too lazy to defeat the true final boss myself. Got bired with the battle. Thanks for the video. This is a good game, but somehow I can't enjoy it and didnt really click with the music and story unfortunately. 7/10 is the my score
I wish we could see serai full human instead of the gross robot mouth, she shouldve also been at the end with the crew, she was there since the beginning basically.
Zale and Valere didn't get old?
It is part of the Lore I think. Since Zale and Valere defeated the main villain, they ascended. Hence, they became immortal and Guardian Gods to many worlds!
yeah I didnt like that too but I guess it makes sense they are gods
I wasn’t even close to dying but I couldn’t be bothered to finish this last fight. It went on way too long - life’s too short! I was hoping for a proper sort of story ending but all it was a bullet sponge that in my case literally bored me so bad I couldn’t continue with what seemed like a never ending sequence of the same thing over and over. I’d rather have died but be getting closer each try than just doing the same variations on a theme over and over. Anyway bar this I did enjoy the game but the conches were a complete pain at the end. I managed to finish and only have around 20! Traipsed that bloody map to get the other 40 only for boredom to get me in the end. Such is life - maybe there’s a message in that? For those that did finish I salute you!

You are right. If you die in the spaceship shooter part, your damage to the fleshmancer will be reseted and you have to fight again to the spaceship shooter part. And if you die again....thats the reason some people kill him in 15 minutes and some people fight an hour. Extremly silly mechanic.
For me this is not the true ending.... Carl back to life????? Wtf ? He is death! He doesn't need back to life...
These 49 minutes are 10x more interesting than the entire snooze fest that was this game.
The game is great. i'ts a shame the two main characters are the worst characters in the game.
Thanks for posting this. It saved me hours collecting all sea shells just to see a true ending that sucks just as much has the normal one. With expectation of Garls story, the game just gave up in the end
