Queen's Domain endings: all four, what triggers each, and the order to get them on one save

Quick answer

There are four endings, each with its own achievement on Steam. Players and the TPose Gaming guide report that the first three depend on the weapon you defeat the final boss with: any ordinary weapon gives Ending 1, the reforged True Holy Sword gives Ending 2, and a sword earned by finishing every side character's story gives Ending 3. Ending 4 builds on Ending 3: hand in all 69 silver skulls, do a ritual, then win the Ending 3 fight again and make one last choice. You keep playing the same save after each ending, so you can collect all four in one run. Players disagree on how much of the fight the sword must do, so the safe play is to use only that sword for the whole fight.

Before you start

  • Kingy has not reached any ending. The four ending names, the two sword achievements and the ritual achievement are on Steam's official achievement list; how to trigger each ending is what players report on Steam and in one guide (TPose Gaming), read November 7, 2026, when the current patch was 1.01.05 (the sources don't name a build). Names of late items and bosses sit in the hidden sections.

The four endings at a glance

The names are the four ending achievements on Steam's official list, where each reads 'Saw Ending' and its number. On November 7, 7.5% of Steam players had Ending 1, 4.2% Ending 2, 2.2% Ending 3 and 1.3% Ending 4. What you need goes up with each ending: Ending 1 is just the final boss, while Endings 3 and 4 mean doing nearly everything in the game.

You don't need a new game

After the credits your save carries on, and players chasing every ending stay on one save until 100%. Before the final fight, save at a Crystal Monument. If the ending you wanted doesn't trigger, you can reload and try again. For the fourth ending, finish the skull ritual before you repeat the Ending 3 fight.

How much of the fight the sword must do

This is where players disagree most. One says the ending sword must deal at least half the damage. Another gives 25 to 50%. A third says use it for the whole fight and land the last hit with it. A fourth got Ending 2 after using a rocket launcher for most of the fight and swinging the sword about twice. One completionist calls the triggers finicky: chasing Ending 3, they kept getting Endings 1 and 2 again.

None of them is official, and none was tested against the others. The plan everyone's reports fit: equip only the ending sword, use it for the whole fight and finish with it.

  1. Save at a Crystal Monument before the final boss.
  2. Put the ending sword in your hand and leave other main weapons out of the fight.
  3. Land the killing blow with that sword. If the wrong ending plays, reload and repeat.

Ending 1: Most Unfortunate

Reveal solution / story details

Defeat Queen Siraatsu, the final boss, with anything other than the two special swords. The TPose Gaming guide calls it the failure ending: the queen wins in her enraged form. After Ending 1 the game points you onward; later, once the eight Sipeha statues are done, a statue asks for both holy swords and 12 sacred gems.

Ending 2: A Kingdom Free From Darkness

Reveal solution / story details

Reforge the True Holy Sword Akunra and beat the queen with it. The route players describe after Ending 1 starts at the Puwema temple at the top of Verdant Hollow. Its door is closed, with eight torches, and a chest beside a broken statue there holds Sipeha's Lens. One player's route reaches it from below through the Rotting Cavern swamp. Next come the eight Sipeha statues. One is under the Tower of Knowledge, behind a door that is easy to miss after a trap door. One player lists what the upgrade needs: every Wind Gem, the Storm Gem, the evolved Endu and your father's sword scraps. He later found the statues won't respond until you have the fourth lens, Sipeha's. Another player thought three lenses were enough. The TPose Gaming guide adds levelling Endu to 10, then Soul Bound Endu to 10. It then reforges the sword at the Altar of Purification, behind the seal-locked door in the Verdant woods. Don't confuse that altar with the one in the mausoleum, which belongs to Ending 3.

Forging the sword earns the official Blade Bathed in Holy Light achievement (5.2% of Steam players on November 7). Then fight the queen again using only Akunra.

The Storm Gem

Tower of Knowledge

  1. Climb to the Puwema temple at the top of Verdant Hollow and take Sipeha's Lens from the chest.
  2. Gather all four lenses, all five Wind Gems, the Storm Gem, the evolved Endu and your father's sword scraps.
  3. Visit the eight Sipeha statues.
  4. Reforge Akunra, then beat the queen using only Akunra.

Ending 3: God Slayer

Reveal solution / story details

Forge Okbujo's Judgement and beat the queen with it. Collecting it earns the official Most Spiritual Sword achievement (2.6% on November 7). The sword comes from mementos. Use the Memento Mirror on side characters after they pass on, and they only pass on once their quest is done. The same player adds that you must leave the area so it unloads, then rest and come back. The TPose Gaming guide lists eight memento hints: Eggs, Crew, Dishes, Bestiary, King, Soldier, Puwema lens and Modules. That lines up with one completionist's list: all the lenses, every NPC collection quest and close to the whole bestiary. The same guide describes eight souls tied to the Record of Sin and a hidden door at a mausoleum altar, opened with four signs in the room.

The TPose Gaming guide says a second fight follows, against the Soul of Sipeha.

Collectibles

The Record of Sin

  1. Finish every side character's collection quest (eggs, crew, dishes, bestiary, modules and the rest).
  2. Use the Memento Mirror on each character once they have passed on; leave and rest if they haven't yet.
  3. Forge Okbujo's Judgement.
  4. Beat the queen with it, then the Soul of Sipeha.

Ending 4: Eat

Reveal solution / story details

Collect all 69 Strange Silver Etched Skulls and hand them in at the door under the Petrified Garden; some hand-ins give rewards along the way. Then do the ritual; Steam's The Call From Beyond achievement ('Complete a mysterious ritual') appears to match it. One player says you need all four lenses and all five Trident Keys. There, hit the fish statues three or four times, activate the symbols and drop into one of the houses. Then win the Ending 3 fight again. At the end, choose Eat instead of Banish.

Players and TPose report no in-game counter for skulls handed in, so keep your own tally. The skull hunt is the slowest part: completionists share hard-to-reach spots, such as the castle roof and hills around the Ancient City, in their own Steam threads.

The five Trident Keys

Silver skulls and other collectibles

  1. Hand in all 69 silver skulls under the Petrified Garden.
  2. With all four lenses and five Trident Keys, do the ritual: fish statues, symbols, drop into the house.
  3. Beat the queen and the Soul of Sipeha with Okbujo's Judgement again.
  4. Choose Eat, not Banish.

"Bring both holy swords and 12 sacred gems" confusion. ↗Your sword carries five Wind Gems and the Storm Gem; your father's sword carries another five and a Storm Gem of its own. He is found after the two-demon boss in Deimpo, before the Ancient World; come back to him with the memento mirror.Reported ·
Need direction ↗After Ending A: find the eight Sipeha statues with every Wind Gem, the Storm Gem, the evolved Endu and your father's sword scraps, then upgrade the sword at the temple atop Verdant Hollow and fight the final boss again for Ending 2. The asker found the statues need all four lenses, Sipeha's included.Reported ·
Different endings requirements ↗Three players on the four endings. Agreed: Ending 2 is the reforged True Holy Sword Akunra, Ending 3 the sword from delivering every memento (named Okbujo's Judgment by one), Ending 4 all the Silver Etched Skulls. Disputed: how much of the fight the sword must do (at least 50% of the damage; the whole fight and the last hit; or, one player says, a rocket launcher for most of it and two sword swings still gave Ending 2). One gives 69 skulls, a ritual under the Petrified Garden, then Ending 3 again choosing Eat over Banish.Reported ·
Getting the final ending? (big spoilers) ↗A completionist's notes: Ending 2 needs three of the gods' lenses to reach the place to evolve the holy sword again; Ending 3 needs all lenses, every NPC collection quest and nearly all the bestiary; the fourth ending's achievement reads Eat. Another player: keep the same save to 100%; 69 skulls; the Petrified Garden needs all four lenses and five Trident Keys; hit the fish statues three or four times, activate the symbols and drop into one of the houses; then Ending 3 again.Reported ·
Ending 2 - am i locked out of it? ↗A player at level 84 with four lenses keeps getting Endings 1, 3 and 4 but not 2. Replies: use the sword or it doesn't count; the triggers are finicky, so use only the weapon for the ending you want; one player lists Ending 1 any damage, Endings 2 and 3 at least 25 to 50% of the damage with only Akunra or the Okbujo sword, Ending 4 all 69 skulls and the ritual, then Ending 3 again.Reported ·
How exactly do I get the True Holy Sword? ↗After the first ending: find the Puwema temple at the top of Verdant Hollow (closed door with eight torches, a new lens in a chest nearby), then the eight Sipeha statues. One statue is under the Tower of Knowledge through an easily missed door past a trap door. Reaching the Rotting Cavern is debated in the thread.Reported ·
All Queen's Domain Endings and How to Unlock Them ↗Updated November 5. Four endings with achievements: Most Unfortunate (any weapon except Akunra or Okbujo's Judgement), A Kingdom Free From Darkness (Akunra: level Endu, all Wind Gems and the Storm Gem, eight Sipeha seals, the Altar of Purification), God Slayer (Okbujo's Judgement from eight mementos; Soul of Sipeha after the queen) and Eat (69 skulls, the Petrified Garden ritual, then the God Slayer fight again and Eat over Banish). Same save works; finish the skull ritual first.Walkthrough ·
Progression After Ending 1 ↗One player's route beyond Ending 1: it needs Sipeha's Lens and Jigeki's Lens (Wodaso's only finds secrets). Sipeha's Lens is in a chest beside the broken statue in Puwema's Temple at the top of Verdant Hollow, reached through the Rotting Cavern swamp (four Dark Triangular Slates open a temple door on the way); Jigeki's Lens takes three key pieces, one in a cave under the bridge to Siraatsu Castle and one near the start of Deimpo Mausoleum.Reported ·
