How to Get the Best Ending in Blood of Dawnwalker - No Spoilers

Want the best ending in Blood of Dawnwalker without spoilers? This guide tells you what matters and what does not, without revealing any story details. You will know exactly what to focus on and what to ignore.

The One Thing That Matters Most

Finish the main story within 30 in-game days. This is the only hard requirement for every good ending. If you run out of time, you get the bad ending. Everything else is flexible.

Check the date regularly. Sleep advances time. If you are past day 20 and have not made serious progress on the main story, focus exclusively on it.

What Does NOT Matter (No Spoilers)

These choices feel important but do not lock you out of any ending:

• Most dialogue choices in side quests
• Which order you do the three main regions
• Whether you help random NPCs
• Small moral choices during exploration

Feel free to role-play. The game does not punish you for being kind or ruthless in the moment.

What DOES Matter (Still No Spoilers)

1. Two Characters Have Long Quest Chains

There are two major characters with multi-step questlines. Completing all quests for one character unlocks one ending. Completing all quests for the other unlocks a different ending. Completing both gives you maximum flexibility.

Tip: If you want the most options, finish both chains before the final quest.

2. One Choice Near the End Decides Everything

The actual ending is decided in the final story mission. You will know it when you see it. The game gives you clear dialogue options. Pick the one that matches the ending you want.

Tip: Make a manual save before this mission. You can reload and see all four main endings from this one save.

3. One Hidden Choice Mid-Game

About halfway through, you will be asked to judge someone. Your choice here silently affects one specific ending. If you want the “rebellion succeeds” ending, choose mercy. If you want a different ending, it does not matter.

Tip: When in doubt, be merciful.

The Simple Route to the Best Ending

If you just want the most satisfying ending without a guide:

1. Finish the main story quickly — do not waste days
2. Help both major characters with their personal quests
3. Be merciful when given the choice to judge someone
4. Save before the final mission
5. Pick the dialogue option about freeing the people, not about yourself

That is it. No other choices matter for the ending.

What to Avoid

• Do not ignore the main story for too long — side content is fun but the clock is real
• Do not romance both major characters — pick one or neither, not both
• Do not sell out your allies — there is a tempting offer near the end. Refusing it leads to the best endings

How Many Endings Are There?

Seven total, but you only need to worry about four “real” ones. The other three are either early joke endings or the bad ending for running out of time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get the best ending on my first playthrough?

Yes. The game is designed so a first-time player can get a good ending by paying attention and managing time.

Do I need a guide for every choice?

No. Only the choices listed above matter. Everything else is flavor.

What if I mess up?

Reload a save. The game is generous with save slots. Keep one save from before the final mission and one from mid-game.
