Resident Evil Requiem: How to Get All Endings and the True Conclusion (Spoiler-Free Guide)

The journey of Leon and Grace in Resident Evil Requiem culminates in one of two distinct finales, determined by a single pivotal choice. One resolution is satisfyingly positive, while the other is notably bleak. This concise guide for Resident Evil Requiem will explain, without revealing any plot-spoiling details, how to achieve each of the game's endings and which one is considered the official, 'true,' or canonical conclusion.

The Two Endings of Resident Evil Requiem (Spoiler-Free)

Factors such as game completion time, the number of healing items used, or how often you save your progress have no bearing on which ending you receive. As mentioned, the outcome hinges entirely on one crucial decision made just before the game concludes. Players who paid close attention to the dialogue in a preceding cutscene will understand how to unlock the "correct" ending.

How to Achieve the 'Bad' Ending

Towards the game's climax, upon reaching the 'Pandora' room on the final level with Grace, you will approach a computer to input a code. At this moment, you'll be prompted with the question: "What does the creator desire?" and presented with two potential answers:

• Destroy Elpis
• Liberate Elpis

To witness the 'bad' ending, select the left option, typically mapped to the L2 trigger (PS5), LT (Xbox), or ZL (Switch 2): Destroy Elpis.

After making this choice, you will view the final cutscene directly, bypassing any final boss encounter. This ending is generally considered quite unsatisfactory. Since it isn't linked to any achievements or trophies, doesn't unlock new items, and offers no significant plot revelations, it is typically not recommended unless you are specifically aiming to avoid the final boss. It can be useful for players seeking to earn the Exceptional Agent achievement/trophy (complete the main story on Insanity difficulty) by shortening the final segment of the game.

How to Achieve the 'Good' Ending

As you approach the conclusion of the game, in the 'Pandora' room of the last area alongside Grace, you will interact with a computer to enter a code. Here, the question "What does the creator desire?" will appear, offering two responses:

• Destroy Elpis
• Liberate Elpis

To unlock the 'good' ending, choose the right option, typically assigned to the R2 trigger (PS5), RT (Xbox), or ZR (Switch 2): Liberate Elpis.

Upon making this selection and viewing a revealing story sequence, control will return to Leon for the final boss battle, an encounter absent in the 'bad' ending path. Defeating this boss will then lead you to the good, or 'true,' ending of Resident Evil Requiem.

Achieving this ending is also a prerequisite for unlocking two specific achievements/trophies:

• Hope and Requiem – Complete the main story by liberating Elpis.
• Speed Demon – Complete the main story by liberating Elpis in under four hours.

It has been confirmed that the canonical ending for Resident Evil Requiem is the one we've described as the "good ending." Therefore, to experience the official conclusion of this narrative, you must choose the 'Liberate Elpis' option when prompted.

We hope this guide has assisted you in navigating to the correct ending without spoiling the game's storyline.
