Armored Core 6 has three different endings, and some players will undoubtedly be interested in seeing them all. Fortunately, the process of earning all three endings is quite straightforward, though it will take fans a reasonable amount of time to work through it. This guide is here to provide full details on this process, and it will help players reach Armored Core 6's good, bad, and true endings.
Armored Core 6: How to Get The Fires of Raven Ending (Bad Ending)
The Fires of the Raven ending can be earned during any playthrough, and Armored Core 6 players can reach it simply by selecting the Intercept the Corporate Forces Decision Mission in Chapter 5. Indeed, that selection alone will set fans on a path that leads through the Breach the Karman Line and Shut Down the Closure Satellites missions and to the "bad ending," and none of the choices that were made prior to Chapter 5 will prevent the Intercept the Corporate Forces mission from becoming available.
Armored Core 6: How to Get Liberator of Rubicon Ending (Good Ending)
As with the "bad ending," the Liberator of Rubicon ending can be earned during any playthrough, and it only requires that one choice be made. Specifically, players need to select the Eliminate “Cinder” Carla Decision Mission in Chapter 5 and then work through the Destroy the Block Drive and Bring Down the Xylem missions that become available. Notably, this Armored Core 6 mission is the alternative to the aforementioned Intercept the Corporate Forces mission, and players should be very careful with their selections to avoid earning the same ending twice.
Armored Core 6: How to Get Alea Lacta Est Ending (True Ending)
The first steps toward earning the Alea Iacta Est ending is to beat Armored Core 6 twice (to see both the "good" and "bad" endings) and then start an NG++ playthrough. From there, players must work through a series of missions, some of which are exclusive to NG++, and perform some other specific actions. Here is a step-by-step walkthrough of that process, and it will lead fans of mech video games straight to the "true ending":
- Choose "Accept" during Attack the Dam Complex in Chapter 1.
- Complete Escort the Weaponized Mining Ship in Chapter 1.
- Complete Prevent Corporate Salvage of New Tech in Chapter 3.
- Complete Eliminate the Enforcement Squads in Chapter 3.
- Complete Coral Export Denial in Chapter 3.
- Complete Eliminate V.III in Chapter 4.
- Complete MIA, Regain Control of the Xylem, and Coral Release in Chapter 5.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
