CODE VEIN: All Endings Guide - SteamAH

“Dweller in the dark” is the good ending and has 2 different outcomes both of which are required in order to get the ‘determiner of fate’ achievement. the deciding factor on which of the 2 you will get is if you’ve restored all of Io’s memories (Eos blood code vestiges) before defeating the final boss or not.

Outcome #1: not restoring Io’s memories. First of all in order to qualify for either of the 2 good endings you need to restore all four successors. (if you’ve read this far it was probably obvious) an easy way to be sure you’ve done everything right on your first non bad ending run is to look for the: Isis, Fionn, Scathach, and Harmonia blood codes in your inventory, if you own all 4 you are guranteed to get the dweller in the dark ending. for this outcome simply restore all successors but not all of Io’s memories. my best advice is to just ignore the Eos vestiges during that run, feel free to collect them but do NOT restore all of them.

Outcome #2: restoring Io’s memories. again by reading this far it would be obvious. the requirements are identical to the first outcome but all you have to do is restore Io’s memories before going down the elevator that leads to the Gaol of the Stagnant Blood. The Eos vestiges are obtained from 3 sources: 1: after defeating each successor regardless of whether you restore them or not, their attendant will disappear and in the place where she stood will be an Eos vestige (with the exception of the attendant of the rib cage who’s vestige will be collected during a cutscene) 2: one Eos vestige can be found at the Provisional Government Outskirts. 3: the final Two vestiges are found in the Provisional Government Center: one is obtained from defeating the hostile attendant found on the way to the elevator, and the second by smashing the wooden boxes to the right of the elevator and walking into the secret hallway until you reach the vestige. make sure you restore ALL of the Eos vestiges.

Both outcome’s ending cutscenes are the same. the only difference is that if you’ve restored all of Io’s memories your character will say her name before the screen turns black and the credits start rolling.

again, while both are considered the same ending you still need to get both of them to earn the ‘determiner of fate’ achievement.
