Endings & Epilogue
Your ending has two layers.
Your main finale route determines the broad conclusion, while earlier quests, deaths, romances and major choices can change the character and world epilogue you see.
Your main ending is only part of the story.
The choices you make throughout the game can also change who survives, who stays, who leaves, who you romance, and what your final epilogue shows.

Your epilogue
What happens to characters and the Valley.
Main finale route
Follow the rebel finale path.
Can affect: Valley · Marat · Lacra · Florin
Successfully complete the Rise at Dawn → Fall Before Dusk finale chain. Later rebel and throne-room states still shape who is standing.

Main finale route
Follow the vampire finale path.
Can affect: Valley · Marat · Lacra
Midnight Reckoning belongs to the vampire finale chain. The Brencis deal is not committed from the hideout mark alone, and some betrayal branches stay conditional.
Main finale route
Follow a finale that is not locked to the rebel or vampire close.
Can affect: Valley · Coen
A Lone Wolf's Hunt is an important source for the independent assault / deal path. The hideout mark is not committed by itself.
Major choice route
A hideout mark starts one Brencis commitment chain. The deal becomes committed only after the later sequence resolves.
Can affect: Valley · Marat · Lacra · Florin · Family
Route influence: Strong · Guaranteed ending: No
Marking the hideout starts one Brencis commitment chain. The deal becomes committed only after the subsequent betrayal sequence resolves successfully. A Lone Wolf’s Hunt and Midnight Reckoning can influence related betrayal states, but one visible accept-offer line does not guarantee this finale.
Early exit ending
Leave the Valley instead of continuing toward the finale.
Choose [leave the valley forever] at the Valley exit after the prologue and before the main finale lock. The dedicated Coward Ending guide covers the leave/stay choice, achievements and when the option is available.
Some quests can close a story thread outside the five main route cards. Those resolutions are listed here as special outcomes, not as a count of “all endings.”
The finale route decides the broad ending, but the epilogue is assembled from several character and world outcomes.
Locking your main finale route does not necessarily lock every epilogue outcome.

Coward Ending
Choose [leave the valley forever] at the Valley exit after the prologue and before the main finale lock. The dedicated Coward Ending guide covers the leave/stay choice, achievements and when the option is available.
Your main finale route sets the broad conclusion, while earlier quests, romances, deaths and major choices shape character and world epilogues. Two players can follow the same finale and still see different results for Anca, Marat, Ocha or the Valley. Use the Ending Calculator to compare your saved choices; where an exact trigger is still unclear, it leaves the outcome unresolved.
The game has multiple main finale routes, but the final epilogue is also shaped by separate character and world outcomes. Because those layers combine, a simple ending count does not describe every variation you can see.

Yes. Committing to Marat or Anca can change that character’s later ending.
Yes. Character deaths can alter later epilogue outcomes.
