All Endings To Sultan’s Game

Alongside the various victory endings, there are plenty of ways to lose, and these make up the majority of unique endings. Most of these are different variations of being executed by the Sultan or dying in an attempt to fulfil a card.

Some more exotic endings can appear from events and choices:

The player in Sultan’s game breaks all cards in the deck.

The Game Is Not Over: The Default Ending

This is the ending you get for completing all cards and not getting another ending. You might even consider it another type of defeat ending for not managing to achieve another victory in time.

Since the order you draw challenges in is random, yourstrategy for this achievement is just to play the game normally. you’re able to stillpursue other endings at the same timeand use this as a fallback if you aren’t able to achieve them in time.

The four main obstacles to this playthrough are the gold tier cards. All of them require very advanced solutions that won’t be available until you’re well-established.

Solution

Carnality

The gold carnality card can beused on the Sultan’s gold consort. The resulting quest requires you to prepare a series of appropriate gifts:

Extravagance

The Gold Extravagance card is the easiest to deal with. If youavoid making any home renovations until drawing the gold card, you may use give it to methinks and get an event for remodelling your home. This costs 20 gold but gives you a large boost in income. The golden bird event also allows you to break a golden extravagance card.

Bloodshed

The Gold Bloodshed card can be used on any of the gold tier characters you encounter. The vizier is the easiest to kill.

Progressing his quest will give you regular meetings alone with him, where the card can be used without risk. Using the card on the Vizier in the Sultan’s court will instead require you to win a duel against his two bodyguards. You can also encounter gold-tier companions from quests. Qaid is upgraded to gold after buying back his family name and the nameless mercenary is a gold-tier character from the very start.

The player reunites with the explorer Minal as part of the Distant Paradise ending.

Conquest

The hardest card to deal with in this playthrough is the golden conquest card. Shuffle it back into the deck whenever possible, andattend enough church blessings to unlock the ability to purify a single card. Destroying the golden conquest card means you only have to worry about the rest of the deck.

With the four biggest obstacles defeated, just keep working through the rest of the deck. You’ll getvariations on the ending depending on your choices and stats.

The player escapes the Sultan’s Game by surrendering all of their remaining possessions.

Distant Paradise: The Escape Ending

This is the ending that resolves if you choose to escape from the game. In one of the early days your wife will raise the possibility of running away together, creating a questline in the top right of the map. You need two components to begin the quest:

Both of these can be acquired from other quests. You’ll be able to find more than one of each.

The player assigns their companions to lead soldiers in the final act of Sultan’s Game.

The easiest escape method is to use abomb or drill crafted by Mahir in one of her research quests. Not all of her inventions can be used to escape the city, but you may rewind the day if you don’t get the item you want. You can also steal aether from the church to keep funding new research projects.

If Mahir is dead or missing, you can follow thequestline of the Sultan’s Silver Consort. This is a more challenging quest but she will give you a token of her authority that lets you open the gates.

The final battle of Sultan’s Game, with the Sultan and their four royal guard.

Escape destinations are also limited down to two potential sources. China and the Distant Oasis are both out of the Sultan’s reach and you’ll get variations on the ending depending on which you flee to.

Once you have an escape plan and destination, you can slot these into the escape quest at any time to start the final sequence. Make sure you only have one Sultan card in hand when you begin the escape. You’ll have time to make preparations before leaving:

When starting the escape ending, you’ll discard your final Sultan card. Remember it, as you’ll be made to resolve it as part of your escape. In our escape ending we retained anextravagance card, requiring us to give up the wealth and supplies for the trip. Players have reported that bloodshed and conquest cards require you to sacrifice your remaining bonded followers.

New Banner: The Revolution Ending

The spoiler-lite version of this ending is simple enough, but it has a lot of added details you need to work through in the process.

Whether using a conviction or conquest card, you’ll want to prepare thoroughly. This isthe hardest ending to achieveand you should shuffle the conquest card back into your deck as many times as possible until you’re ready to win. A gold conviction should take long enough to forge that you’ll have finished all preparations in the process.

How To Get Them

Troops

Riel’s questline is the most convenient source of troops. A random event will have her injured in the night. Give her medical treatment using either medicinal herbs from snake valley or the Waters of Life created by Mahir’s research.

She’ll go on to start conquering local gangs and liberating slaves. Give enough financial and military support and she can incorporate the gangs instead of destroying them. These will become troops when you start the revolution.

Duelists

Your troops can help you against the Sultan’s royal guard. You need a team of four combatants all able to match them in power.

Aim for each one to have at least 25 points of combined physique and combat. These duelists can also serve as generals to lead your troops through the city.

Magicians

The Sultan’s magic ring can instantly defeat you. You need 20 points of magic spread between three followers to defend against the spell.

Personal Strength

The final battle against the Sultan is fought alone, save for a couple of very specific quest companions. Aim to recruit the Unnamed gold Mercenary that can appear from random events.

If you have combined physique and combat score of 40, you’ll be able to defeat the Sultan in a duel.

There are a number of variations you’re able to gain on this ending. After defeating the Sultan you can choose followers to form the new seat of government, as well as decide whether you intend to take power yourself or go into voluntary exile. Just about every surviving cast member can be involved in this final scene.

Additionally, some events can make the final day of combat much easier:

Descent Of The Gods: The Insight Ending

This ending only appears after purchasing the upgrade “Glimpse of God” in the fate store. This gives a pretty large spike in difficulty so it’s best done after getting a lot of other upgrades and at least one other victory.

Themost useful destiny upgrade for the Descent ending is the Twin. The Mind Battles require the protagonist but have no attribute checks involved, letting you send your twin to the mind battle and your protagonist to the harder tasks.

Glimpse of God will add new events and a plotline related to divinity. As your insight stat increases, you’ll get Mind Battle events for introspection. Place characters and conviction cards to satisfy the event. Your choices will bring you closer to one of the two divine cards depending on whether you choices represent an acceptance or rejection of fate.

Not all contemplation events have been documented, but there are some trends you may find:

To upgrade your divine cards, you need to infuse them with piety. Drag your faith card to Methinks, and you’ll be given an event to consolidate three piety from yourself and your followers.

Once your faith card has been upgraded enough times, a questline will activate. You’ll need a party of four characters, with a spread of magic, wisdom, combat and physique. Combat and physique followers are easy to get so magic and wisdom are the main challenge.

The best character for helping in this questline is the beggar child Lumera. She is able to read any books, letting her get thehighest combined score in magic and wisdom.Avoid anyevents that risk her dying or leaving your side.
