    It's a bit of a lengthy process but make sure you.
    1 - Save Hakon (at every encounter)
    2 - Don't kill the Herbalist that wants to save Aitor
    3 - Support Frank (give him the tower)
    4 - Support Lawan (Say nice things and be romantic)
    5 - Don't Let Lawan Kill Hakon
    6 - Don't let Frank Die
    7 - Support the Colonel (questionable)
    8 - Save Mia
    9 - Success!
    Some things might be different, this is way I 100% guarantee you can get the true ending.

      Which is weird cause I got the same cutscene with the herald talking about how the city is doing and the same text in the black screen with the night runners governing the city and lawan and hakon escaping both alive. The only thing different is aiden walking alone. Not doing that one thing of supporting the colonel changed that.

    -Make Lawan not kill Hakon and drop her hit list

I wish Hakon was there when Aiden & Lawan left off the city this would be a Huge Easter Egg for a Dying Light 3 where the Trio Aiden, Lawan & Hakon would definitely meet the former Pilgrim Nightrunner which is now clearly the Night Hunter Kyle Crane in action.

    I chose the PK in the first chapter (Old Villedor). I couldn't stand the Survivors in that area. The PK seemed really reasonable and Aitor as their leader gave me the impression the devs really wanted us to kinda like the PK. That whole feeling flipped in Central Loop, though, and I almost immediately liked the Survivors more there than the PK. I got the perfect "secret" ending while siding with the PK in Old Villedor so no worries if you're on that rail!
    Too bad that, in the end, just blindly siding with the Survivors the entire time seems to be the save bet.

    The very last bit of the ending reminds me of stalker cinematics. Also, what do y’all think is better on the long run of the city. Peacekeeper or Survivors.

The survivors were real kind, but you could see that the streets were still filled with infected.

    A very good note for players in the game, is that you can give the PK all the water towers and powerplants and yet still work towards helping frank and stuff.
    The towers, And powerplants do not matter for the story. So you can reap all the goodies and traps for the pk all over the map without worry about the endings.
    Let's all be "Frank" here (I am not sorry) the survivor's rewards are kinda....garbage. like they are not useful at all. The traps, U.V lamps, and especially the crossbow pack are S tier stuff and are always useful and unlike the survivor npcs...the pk soldiers will actually come out to help you in a fight if your near any outposts and not die in an instant..

    I got this on my first playthrough and was very confused because the videos I'd seen hadn't covered it! Although in my playthrough, I let Frank die and Jack Matt ended up living after the missile hit. The herbalist wasn't alive to save Frank. It's also sad that no matter what, Mia dies.

    Arguably there is better ending, if you open the flood gates. Lawan stays in the city at the end (which makes sense since she is the leader of the night runners). Also about the fact that the whole point of Aiden leaving is because he is a serious danger to others.

    Congrats for the thorough, in-depth analysis in all your videos! It must have taken endless hours trying all the different path combinations. Highly appreciated!!!
    I really need your help though, not to mess up my playthrough.
    My objectives are:
    - Have the best ending (Survivors) with most or all characters alive (and preferably leave with Lawan instead of Hakon).
    I'd also like the Bazaar being there (not destroyed) with Sophie running it in the end.
    - At the same time, give all 7 Facilities to the PKs (to get all their faction rewards).
    - Get most of the missable Inhibitors along the way.
    By watching your videos (many, many times) I came up with a story progression & choices plan. Please tell me if it stands correct in your experience or there are any flaws:
    1. Give all 3 story-based Facilities to the PKs.
    - Horseshoe Water Tower in the "Water Tower" story quest.
    - Downtown Electrical Station in the "A Place To Call Home" story quest.
    - Garrison Electrical Station in the "Broadcast" story quest.
    (not the antenna - just the Electrical Station)
    Note:
    This implies that I will play the "Into the Dark" story quest given by Aitor, instead of the "Revolution" story quest given by Sophie.
    → Due to this choice I will not get the hideout north of Trinity, and thus I will not be able to get the missable Inhibitors from there.
    ❑ So, I'll have to get them later through some co-op session where this hideout is present.
    Note:
    I don't know if in this path I will be forced to kill Sophie's brother Barney, and if yes, what consequences this will have to my relation with Sophie & the Bazaar in the end-game.
    Moreover, will the Bazaar even exist in the end game with Sophie running it (since the PKs will destroy it)?
    2. Give the remaining 4 open-world Facilities to the PKs in free-roam.
    3. Agree to help Juan in the "Welcome On Board" story quest in order to play the "Cathedral" instead of "The Lost Light".
    This will let me get the missable Inhibitors that are only present if you play the "Cathedral".
    This is the only time I will cooperate with Juan, just to get the Inhibitors.
    From now on, I will never side with him again.
    4. Make sure Hakon lives till the end, on both the "Into the Dark" & "Nightrunners" story quests.
    This way he will be able to save Lawan in the final "X13" story quest instead of me saving her.
    Note:
    I'll get the "Nightrunners" story quest instead of the "Empire" or "Spy Game", since I will give the VNC antenna to Frank (Survivors) later in "Broadcast".
    5. Play the "Aitor" side quest and make sure Margaret the healer woman lives and stays present in my world.
    I will need her later to save Frank.
    6. Make sure Frank lives till the end.
    - Make sure Margaret the healer woman is still alive & present in my world (through the "Aitor" side quest & in any other choice I make), so that she can heal Frank.
    - In "The Breakthrough", where Frank gets shot, I will not chase the truck, but stay and help Frank instead.
    7. Have the best possible relation with Lawan.
    In "The Shoe" story quest & in any other dialog choice that results in a good relation build-up.
    8. Give the VNC Tower antenna to Frank (Survivors).
    9. Believe the Colonel (not Jack Matt) & tell Lawan that it was a conspiracy in "Now or Never".
    10. In the final "X13" story quest, save Mia & let Lawan detonate the bombs (not choose to save her).
    She will be saved by Hakon anyways.
    So, that's my objectives & plan to achieve them.
    Your opinion & input would be invaluable to me.
    Thanks in advance!

      @foteinimantzali8691 2 года назад +1

      @@VideoGameSophistry So, you believe that these 3 story-related facilities will have some impact to the ending? And how much? Regarding Sophie? The Bazaar? Or what else?
      As far as I know, only the 1st one (“Water Tower” story quest) of the 1st Act slightly changes the story. Basically giving you “Into the Dark” by Aitor instead of “The Revolution” by Sophie. And as you said, this has minor to no impact in the ending.
      The other 2 don’t change the story path (quests) at all in my understanding.
      I’m asking because I’d really like 7/7 faction rewards of the PKs.

    I kinda hate Sophie. The bazaar really teeters on cult territory, they try to hang you, then they spend the opening chapter of the game alternating between leading you into traps and using you as an executioner. When you actually get to "side" with her, it's only after she sent all of her most loyal people to kill you, and you do so as she holds a crossbow in your face, and all the while as her brother is the prime suspect for a murder investigation. Not a stellar impression, is all I'm saying

    I got this ending too even when Frank died. I would stay with him, but my coop buddy convinced me to go after that car. Ruined the good feel in the late game for me so I am just starting a new game and want to do everything right. I missed a lot of side quests because my friend wanted to rush the main questline so I probably would play it again anyway. I recommend doing all side quests first when you can because some of them will be unavailable or glitched when you progress further in the story.

    I managed to get the ending with lawan but I chose to follow the truck instead of helping frank. Only difference is that frank dies (R.I.P. the homie) and after believing the Colonel and and getting Ambushed in the van by Matt. It's the night runners that show up and Cillian that calls out Matt and then is shunned by the other PK's.
    Then, at the end once spike enters the bar and gives Nikolas the package for frank, he says something like "news travels slow i see, Frank's no longer with us. But if it's for the leader of the NR's, I'll give it to lawan" instead of saying "no one wanted to talk to frank for 11 years and now all of a sudden now he's a celebrity".
    I'm annoyed though cause I could've saved my dawg frank and still could've gotten the best ending 🥲. I'm just hoping they add NG+ in the near future I really don't wanna delete my save.

      i feel like it's because its the right thing to do. even if you sided with the bazaar in old villedoor and saving aitor in the center would have been counter-intuitive, after you saw what happened to the herbalist when she was falsely accused of supplying the wrong medicine the first time youre like why would i do that again? Her character just screamed trustworthinesss, like she really cared about people even if it hurt her in the end.

    What happened to Mia? did she die?
    I got this: Hakon saved Mia, and Aiden saved Lawan. City got destroyed. Hakon left with Aiden in the end.

    if you side with the survivors, go all out with them and thats how i got the best and possibly intended ending the first try. trusting the colonel the first time was tricky but i think you get tipped off that Matt was behind almost killing frank so he lost that trust there. in the end, i almost went for Lawan but between her and the city i figured she'd die anyway plus i just saved frank's life so i didnt want him to die.
    I'm going to try the game again on the PK side all the way and see what happens. i want to see what happens when you go all in with Matt and then with Juan, but i'll probably do Juan first cause i like him more than Matt. Basically i'm going to try to see what happens when you treat the survivors like nothing but the enemy

      If you go with juan and do specific choices you can get the "renegete ending" 😅

    It's nuts how early you can botch any hopes of the ending for Lawan coming with you.

    The ending always bugged the crap out of me. Finding out Mia isnt your blood sister is a game changer in a bad way.. Basically going through so much for all of that, and saving her is so stupidly pointless because she just dies anyways with no additional dialogue. Also like what ever becomes of people like Thalia, Carl, Sophie, Aitor and all that?

    the comparison of the two faction endings. choose the survivors and you see them helping poorer residents and making cheaper food. and if you choose pk you see them hanging people with their familys if just one of them have sold water "illegally"
