Endings

Story mode includes multiple endings based on the choices made throughout the game's completion. There are currently three main endings in the game, with slight variations based on additional completion criteria. When completing the game with the world timer visible, the ending type is displayed along with the final time.

Sacrifice Ending
The Sacrifice Ending is the "normal" ending achieved by completing each of the eight Dungeons and killing the bosses. This is the most common ending for players first completing the game, and easier to complete because each boss drops a Heart Container that increases Lenna's maximum health.

The following criteria must be met for the Sacrifice Ending:


 * Kill at least one dungeon boss
 * Obtain the Power of Truth by defeating all of the dungeon bosses

Catastrophe Ending
The Catastrophe Ending is the "bad" ending, and results from defeating the final boss Archangel Delvin without obtaining the Power of Truth. Because this ending has no other completion criteria, it has the potential to be the shortest to complete, but it can also be difficult for inexperienced players because of the lack of heart containers from defeating bosses. However, the Catastrophe ending doesn't require that all bosses are skipped, only that the Power of Truth is not completed. So it is possible to kill a few bosses to get extra hearts to help with completing the final fights against Chairman Gammon and Delvin.

Perfect Ending
The Perfect Ending is the "good" ending achieved by sparing each of the eight Dungeon bosses using the Power of Compassion, defeating Archangel Delvin and completing the final encounters, starting with Level 9. The Perfect Ending does not require a full pacifist run, since only the dungeon bosses need to be spared. The final cutscene will change if Chairman Gammon, Delvin, Lance, and the Elder are saved, however.

The following criteria must be met for the Perfect Ending:


 * Get each of the mystery gift items by completing various side quests
 * Use the Power of Compassion to spare each of the the eight dungeon bosses
 * Complete Level 9 and the fights against the Elder, Lance and 8Fridge
