How to Unlock All Endings in Armored Core 6
Armored Core 6 isn’t just about mech combat; it’s a story with multiple paths leading to distinct endings. To see all three endings, you need to complete the game at least three times. A first playthrough will lead to your first ending, a second will allow you to unlock a different conclusion, and a third playthrough (New Game++) will reveal the final, often considered “true” ending.
How to Unlock Liberator of Rubicon Ending in Armored Core 6
Achieving the “Liberator of Rubicon” ending involves aligning yourself with Ayre throughout the main campaign. This means selecting missions offered by Ayre in each chapter. This ending can be unlocked during your first or a subsequent New Game+ playthrough.
Chapter 3 Missions:
- Prevent Corporate Salvage of New Tech
- Destroy the Special Forces Craft
Chapter 4 Missions:
- Ambush the Vespers
Chapter 5 Missions:
- Eliminate “Cinder” Carla
- Destroy the Drive Block
- Bring Down the Xylem
Crucially, in Chapter 5, you must accept the mission to eliminate “Cinder” Carla and subsequently defeat Handler Walter to secure this ending.
How to Unlock the Fires of Raven Ending in Armored Core 6
The “Fires of Raven” ending requires siding with Handler Walter and Cinder Carla. Ignore missions offered by Ayre or the RLF, focusing instead on missions from these characters throughout the game. Like the Liberator ending, this can be completed in a first playthrough or New Game+.
Chapter 3 Missions:
- Tunnel Sabotage
- Eliminate the Enforcement Squads
Chapter 4 Missions:
- Intercept the Redguns
Chapter 5 Missions:
- Intercept the Corporate Forces
- Breach the Kármán Line
- Shut Down the Closure Satellites
A significant challenge in this path is the encounter with Ayre in Chapter 5. This ending path requires you to confront and defeat Ayre, a key narrative choice that shapes the storyline.
How to Unlock Alea lacta Est Ending in Armored Core 6
The “Alea lacta Est” ending, often considered the true ending, is exclusively attainable through a New Game++ playthrough. This means completing the game twice before reaching this final conclusion. This ending focuses on aligning with ALLMIND and accepting specific ALLMIND-related missions.
Chapter 1 Missions:
- Obstruct the Mandatory Inspection
- Escort the Weaponized Mining Ship
Chapter 3 Missions:
- Coral Export Denial
Chapter 4 Missions:
- Eliminate V.III
- Reach the Coral Convergence
Chapter 5 Missions:
- MIA
- Regain Control of the Xylem
- Coral Release
The “Reach the Coral Convergence” mission in Chapter 4 replaces a previous “Escape” mission and is followed by crucial missions in Chapter 5, culminating in a final confrontation with ALLMIND. Defeating ALLMIND unlocks this unique ending.
Successfully navigating these different paths and choices in Armored Core 6 will unlock each of its three diverse narrative conclusions. Each playthrough presents a unique story and experience, and completing them all offers a more profound and complete understanding of the game’s narrative.
