ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I just got my first win as a cursed cornac, but I saved after I won in about 15 turns...

Regrettably I don't think I'll get to see the other two possible endings: can anyone tell me what happens, especially in the third one when were you get to enter the void?

I took a peek at the wiki and there's a zone called Void, at level 100, I think you go there if you fail to stop the portal from opening and go in anyways.

I'm dying to know what happens in the third ending because I'm expecting some closure, like you get to figure out what happened to the Sher'tul after you beat all the 100 monsters in the void or something.

I'd hate for the last mural in the fortress to end up as a cliffhanger.



Also btw this game is one of the most well written and immersive games I've played in years. Hat tip to anyone here who worked on contributed to it, truly a gem.

WARNING: SPOILERS!

There are only two endings that I'm aware of. Save the world or enslave it, with a few variations.

- Save the world: Defeat the final bosses.
- Enslave the world: Defeat the final bosses as a Yeek. You have an option to force everyone to join The Way. I haven't won with a Yeek, so I don't if this is true.

The only things that affect the ending is whether you interrupted the ritual at the Charred Scar, saved Melinda, or joined forces with the Grand Corruptor. I don't think you can enter the void.

I think either Amakthel or Gerlyk is god trapped inside the void. I don't remember. All the other ones are dead. The Sher'Tul were created by Amakthel. They wanted to be in charge, so they killed all the gods. Then, they wiped themselves out. Only 1 Sher'Tul, Caldizar, is shown to be alive.

Even More Huge Spoilers!!




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Using the debug console, you can give yourself an unfinished (I'm assuming) quest called "In the void, no one can hear you scream" (also known as "void-gerlyk"). According to the quest description, the sorcerers are dead, but the portal is still open. It then tells you in the most badass way possible to take the staff and go kick the creator's arse. Since you can't use the actual portal to the void, you have to use the debug console to change zone your way to the "void between worlds". Once there, you can summon "Gerlyk the Creator". Time for the ultimate showdown.



...And he's a complete pushover. Like I said, this part isn't finished yet. He has more health than any other enemy, a level over 100, the creature type "God \ God", amazing stats, great resists... He just doesn't really do much. To make it even more weird, he used runes and infusions, dropped normal loot (not even an artifact!), has no tile (just a giant "P"!) and never even brought me down a hundred HP from my total health. Protip: use the staff's ability on him for high damage!

On the plus side, he kicks you around the map like a ping pong ball, which is cool; he is listed as a "god"; and the fight was crazy enough to justify the descriptor, "mad".

I can't wait until this is in the game for real!

Well, it sucks that the other endings are in the process of being implemented...I guess in an older version of ToMe, you had a timer in the last fight..

Too bad for me, I wanted to sacrifice Aeryn to close the portal, I guess this makes me a bad person?

On another note: It makes sense that the Sher'tul turned on themselves and wiped themselves out, but is there proof of that somewhere? I thought they were just in hiding for something like the naga boss said.

Also, Doomed is a seriously so much easier to play. I had 6 cursed characters, 3 of them didn't even make it past Daikara. I'm steamrolling through everything as a Doomed, I killed Bill the troll at level 4(!) and following some other dude's post; agony + pity is basically easymode since it makes enemies kill each other.

There's a timeline thread in the development forum that spoils everything about the story.

I finished a Yeek MS game a while back...

Basically, the Yeek bosses [Whatever they were called. Hive?] say that the portal is a massive source of energy and, if a powerful Yeek mind [yours] were to fuse with it, harmony could be achieved.
A. Do you sacrifice yourself as directed? -- You do it, there's a massive shockwave of psychic force and conflicts all over the world end as a result of being forcibly indoctrinated in the way of the, er, Wayists.
B. Refuse. -- The bosses psychically take control of your body and refer to A.

Regardless of your decision, your character is killed. Which was especially annoying as I was planning to switch on devmode on this character and play around in the ID once I finished the storyline.

... Did you really think the Yeek were the good guys? Best plottwist in Tome, tbh. FREEDOM FROM THE WAY, FOR THE YAECH!... We might have to wait for the aquatic dlc for that, though... if it ever comes.

Fun fact about the yeek ending: if you choose option b (not sacrificing yourself), something else can happen if you have enough WIL and Aeryn is still alive (you'll still die, though)
