Simply defeating the final boss in Pragmata isn’t enough to experience the complete aftermath of the story. The game hides a brief epilogue, its true ending, and in this short guide, we’ll explain what you need to do to unlock it and truly understand what happened with Hugh and Diana, without spoiling the plot.
Before we continue, we invite you to read our review of this title. We also have collectible guides for the Solar Power Plant, the Mass Production Matrix, and the Terradome.
The first step to unlocking the true ending of Pragmata is to witness the “incomplete” ending that plays at the end of the game. This means you must play through the entire story normally, reaching and defeating the final boss.
After doing so and seeing the credits roll, you’ll unlock a new game mode called Unidentified Signal. The next time you play, you’ll see the option to play this mode in the main menu. Select it, then choose the save file where you finished the game, and you’ll be back in the refuge. Here, you must speak with Cabin to start a new mission.
After speaking with Cabin, use the tram to travel and discover a new area called the Secret Chamber. There, you must speak with Mega Cabin in the center of the room. Mega Cabin will assign you the mission to complete the 10 simulations located around them.
Initially, these simulations will be locked until you meet the following requirements:
- Automatically unlocked
- Complete the Solar Power Plant 100%
- Defeat the upgraded version of the Solar Power Plant boss
- Complete the Mass Production Matrix 100%
- Defeat the upgraded version of the Mass Production Matrix
- Complete the Terradome 100%
- Defeat the upgraded version of the Terradome boss
- Complete the Lunum Mines 100%
- Defeat the upgraded version of the Lunum Mines boss
- Complete the Central Port area 100%
Each time you fulfill one of these requirements, you can return to the Secret Chamber to complete the corresponding challenge.
Once all requirements are met to unlock them and you have completed the 10 simulations in the Secret Chamber, you can collect the rewards at the back of the room. However, there’s one more reward: a more powerful version of the final boss will appear.
You must return to the Central Port to defeat this enhanced version of the enemy. Afterward, the ending will begin to play again, and everything will seem identical… until the very end, when you’ll hear a short epilogue that reveals something very interesting.
Don’t expect the true ending of Pragmata to be overly spectacular or drastically different from the first ending; it’s just an extra detail that adds depth to the experience.
Pragmata is an action-puzzle game developed by Capcom, available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
