All Endings in Torment: Tides of Numenera

At the end of the game, after entering the Resonance, you will face the Sorrow. You will be able to speak to her and decide how the story of the main character will end. You can choose from six different endings.

Option one - Breaking the connection with the Tides

You can decide to sever the connection with the Tides.

When the time comes to make the decision, you can choose to sever the Tidal connection so that no one will be able to manipulate them. You will doom all the castoffs by doing so, including the protagonist. Your companions will walk away in unknown direction, filled with grief after losing you.

Option two - Merging the castoffs with the main protagonist

You can absorb all the castoffs into the conscience of the main protagonist.

You can complete the plan of the Changing God and merge all the castoffs into the conscience of the protagonist. You will wake up in Memovira's fortress, where you will have a short conversation with the Sorrow. She will tell you that she will no longer hunt you. Additionally, you will be able to speak to your party and decide to accompany some of them.

Option three - Leaving everything the way it was

You can decide that the choice is too hard and leave everything unchanged.

Another option is to leave everything as it it. The Labyrinth of the Changing God will be sealed, along with the knowledge it contains. The castoffs will remain in this world, and as a form of "gratitude", the Sorrow will give everyone enough time to enjoy life. The doom will be postponed... for now.

Option four - Merging the castoffs with Matkina

If Matkina is in the party, you can select her as the vessel for all castoffs.

This option is available only if Matkina is in the party. You can decide that Matkina should absorb the conscience of all castoffs. This will make her the only remaining castoff. The Sorrow will leave and Matkina will go rule the Bloom.

Option five - Merging the castoffs with Milka

Another character that can absorb the conscience of all castoffs is Milka.

In this option you decide that Milka, the daughter of the Changing God, should absorb the remaining castoffs. She will take the place of your protagonist after returning to Memovira's Fortress. The Sorrow will leave and the woman will have chance to live her life as she wants.

Option six - Destroying the Sorrow

You can confront the Sorrow and destroy her.

When talking to the Sorrow, you can ask her whether she will accept your choice. She will answer that, while she will be not fond of some of them, you can choose any option you want. This will unlock an option to confront the Sorrow and destroy her. If you decide to do it, you will be asked what drives you. It is a very important choice. If you answer that the castoffs are your family and you want to protect them, the Sorrow will be destroyed and your character will survive. Other choices will also destroy her, but not before she mortally wounds the main character.

Epilogue

The epilogue will inform you of the shape of the world in the aftermath of your decisions.

An epilogue will start after you've chosen the ending. In some cases you will be able to talk with your party or decide what your main character will do. Once you make all the choices, a summary will start. Each of your larger and more important decisions will be summarized and you will learn the consequences of these choices. Congratulations, you've completed the game!
