Finale: Liber Ark party requirements, Gospel puzzle and lock points

Quick answer

In the remake finale, bring Kloe to the Cradle City Hall terminal and choose Kloe, Celeste, D. and Auslese to get the Gospel that opens the next gate. Zin must be in your party for Walter and Scherazard for Luciola in the Axis Pillar. Open jail Cell No. 1 last; it moves the story on.

What this page is based on

Kingy has not played the finale. The requirements below appear in two independent remake walkthroughs: GameFAQs’ PS5 walkthrough (updated October 3) and Into Indie Games (October 2). Boss move lists, chest contents and floor numbers come from one walkthrough each, so they are left out.

Classic SC also ended in the Liber Ark. That outline is historical context only.

Party and gate requirements

Our recommendation: save before each terminal and boss in this list, and swap party members on the Arseille when a fight needs someone specific.

At the Cradle City Hall terminal's “Enter a name.” list, choose Celeste rather than Ulrich, Georg, Eloise or Edelhoff. The machine voice then names the subject as Celeste D. Auslese.

Before entering the final sequence

[Confirmed preparation] Review recovery, EP, Quartz/Arts, Crafts, S-Crafts and Brave Gauge. If the full edition exposes new menus or rewards, record them before assuming they match the demo or older SC.

Finish the collection work you want from the current save, then stop changing the pre-final file. A clean return point is more valuable than one extra unconfirmed item.

  1. Create and label a pre-finale manual save.
  2. Restock recovery and inspect the active party.
  3. Check the current objective and any explicit point-of-no-return warning.
  4. Record notebooks, achievements and DLC/costume state if they matter to your run.

Classic finale context

Reveal solution / story details

Classic SC’s finale explores Liber Ark. The official remake story overview is not a source for its room order, bosses or rewards; those details still require remake-specific evidence.

Save at every safe point, read the map and journal, and keep a note of each one-way transition. Do not use a classic treasure route as a substitute for current evidence.

After the ending

[Release checklist] Keep the pre-finale and completed files separate. Check the current achievement/trophy state, clear-data rewards and any postgame or Viewer Mode unlocks from the menus and official platform notices.

If you imported a demo save on PS5, retain the transfer warning in your notes: the official trial page says trophies cannot be earned upon transferring save data. Do not generalise that wording beyond what the platform notice says.

  1. Save after the ending without overwriting the pre-finale file.
  2. Review achievements or trophies from the platform UI.
  3. Check the notebooks and optional systems that were unavailable in the demo.
  4. Report any postgame behavior with platform and version.
