In the expansive world of Avowed, where multiple endings await exploration, the Tyranny finale emerges as one of the most unforgiving and least encountered outcomes. According to statistics, a mere 0.2% of players have successfully unlocked this chilling conclusion, which demands adherence to a path steeped in devastation and betrayal.

To attain the Tyranny ending, players must wholeheartedly commit to the oppressive ideals of the Steel Garrote order and their zealous Inquisitor. Every critical decision must align with their brutal philosophy, resulting in the obliteration of friendships, alliances, and entire factions. Over time, companions will turn against the protagonist, leaving them isolated and reviled. Despite this isolation, the Inquisitor grants the title of knight as a gesture of recognition—a reward rendered meaningless by the absence of any meaningful relationships.

YouTube channel Big Dan Gaming recently shared a walkthrough detailing how to navigate this treacherous path while avoiding premature defeat, ultimately unlocking the rare "Tyranny" achievement. This requires steadfastly championing Edairian or anti-Sapadal stances during pivotal moments in the story. Though few venture down this road, the 'Tyranny' ending demonstrates the profound impact of player choices in Avowed .

As Obsidian Entertainment continues to refine its craft, Avowed offers a gameplay experience comparable to Baldur's Gate 3, where quests adapt dynamically based on player actions, and NPCs recall even seemingly trivial decisions. Such attention to detail ensures a rich, responsive narrative that rewards thoughtful engagement.
