Unlocking the final quest

1. This is one of the possible variants of the finale of the campaign. This variant will be activated if, in the final moments of The Last Days of Summer main quest, you've chosen to side with Rasputin.
2. Wiktor decides to continue working with Rasputin who had previously helped him in taming Salutors. Both men will try to achieve their intended goals together.

Traveling to Tsar's Party in Dolina Szwajcarska Park

1. Leave Szulski Family Tenement House and go to the nearby carriage. You cannot use the carriage as there are policemen guarding it - you need to defeat them in combat.
2. After dealing with the policemen, choose to travel to Dolina Szwajcarska Park in southern Warsaw - we show the destination in the screenshot above.

After arriving to Dolina Szwajcarska, you'll be stopped by a soldier. You can proceed here in two different ways:

1. Fight the soldiers - choose the appropriate dialogue option.
2. Deceive the soldiers - activate Perception and find following observations - Jacket, Military Boots, and Communist Manifesto. This will unlock Upsetting the Order conclusion. You can use manipulation on the waiter (screenshot above) and this is done via a special dialogue option requiring 3 Mind Dimension points. Choosing this option will allow you to avoid the battle and additionally Wiktor will put on the waiter's outfit.

Learning more about Rasputin's plans

1. Start by exploring the vicinity of the fountain - this is the red circle in the central part of the map. You can find Prayer Beads observation here.
2. You'll have two possible red trail routes here - west or east. In the western part of the park, an additional objective involving getting rid of Maria will be activated. Search this area to find Small Portrait of the Virgin Mary, Silver Cutlery, and Simple Handkerchief observations. This will unlock Maria's Plans conclusion.
3. With this, an manipulation option on Maria will appear (screenshot above). To activate it, talk to the woman and choose the special dialogue option (requires 3 Heart Dimension points). Alternatively, you can try to convince Maria with regular dialogue options. If you are successful, Maria will decide to abandon Rasputin.

1. Following the red trail east will unlock an additional objective involving getting rid of Magdalena. As before, start by looking for traces in the vicinity - you can find Attempts at Writing, Prayer Book, and Chair at the Ball traces here. This will unlock Magdalena's Efforts conclusion.
2. A manipulation option will appear next to Magdalena (screenshot above). After starting the conversation, you can try your luck with standard dialogue options or choose manipulation (requires 3 Deed Dimension points). Being successful will make Magdalena abandon Rasputin.

1. In the central part of the park, you can optionally talk to Sergei. The conversation will feature mentions of planned changes to the law that will target thaumaturges.
2. There is one more location to examine in the southwestern part of the map - in the area from the screenshot, you can find Cartridge Belt observation and this will unlock Follow the Thread conclusion.
3. Lazarev will appear and you can try to leave the area peacefully or provoke a battle against him and his cadets.

Tsar's speech

1. Head to the palace - this is the building in the eastern part of the map.
2. After approaching the Grand Avenue Hall, you'll meet Wanda and a new conversation will begin. You can optionally decide to uncover and thwart her plans - this is the goal of a small The Wild Card side quest.
3. This mission will involve searching the area to find the Rose trace (screenshot above). This will unlock The Wild Card conclusion.

1. Thanks to these developments, you'll learn that Wanda is planning to kill Skalon. You can leave the topic or mention her plans and try to stop her - to do that, tell her that the attempt is straight suicide and mention Janek.
2. Regardless of the outcome of the conversation with Wanda, enter the Grand Avenue Hall. Approaching the gathered will initiate the Tsar's speech scene.

Ending choices - supporting or betraying Rasputin

During the final showdown, you may decide on your actions, but in some cases, Wiktor can take action on his own, without your input. In such situations, the choice of reaction will be made for you. This can occur if e.g. during the game, you've often employed Pride dialogue options, and this way it has reached a high enough level.

The main choice appears after Wiktor speaks up or is introduced by Rasputin. You can:

1. Reveal Rasputin's treachery - this way you make Rasputin not able to get with Tsar's good graces. You can tell the whole truth about Rasputin. This variant leads to a confrontation with Rasputin and we described it on the Final boss page in the Bosses chapter.
2. Vouch for Rasputin - this way Wiktor and Rasputin join forces to achieve their common goal.

Epilogue

The epilogue differs based on what choice you've made during the Tsar scene:

1. If you betrayed Rasputin, he will be arrested and Wiktor becomes the tsar's court thaumaturge.
2. If you supported Rasputin, Wiktor and Rasputin will both become Tsar's confidantes and relocate to St. Petersburg.

The next scenes show the fate of other key characters, organizations, and locations, including Ligia, Woronin, Abaurycy, thaumaturges, Warsaw, or Flying University.
