How to get the bad ending in Wuchang Fallen Feathers (Jarful of Medicine)

The bad ending is effectively the game's default ending, as it's the one that you'll probably achieve by playing the game blind – here's how to get it:

• Talk to the Storyteller in Worship's Rise in Ruins: Annalum and agree to help him
• Talk to Xuanyangzi in Worship's Rise in Ruins: Burning Cave and give him the Jade Feather Chisel
• Fight and defeat The Reborn / Dragon Emperor to be respawned in the Bo Capital
• Progress through the Bo Capital and defeat the final boss, Feathery Ambition
• Interact with the nearby gate and choose to enter the Realm of Samsara

How to get the good ending in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (Dream's Sweet Deceit)

This ending requires you to have obtained the Ring of Samsara – Rebirth (details at the bottom). Once you've done that, here's how to unlock the good ending in Wuchang:

• Defeat the Feathery Ambition final boss with the Ring of Samsara in your inventory
• Interact with the nearby gate and choose to enter the Realm of Dreams instead of the Realm of Samsara

How to get the true ending in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (Bound By Fate's Threads)

If you've got the Ring of Samsara – Rebirth, then the true ending is just as simple as the good ending:

• Defeat the Feathery Ambition final boss with the Ring of Samsara – Rebirth in your inventory
• Before interacting with the gate, select the Ring of Samsara – Rebirth in your inventory, and either 'Use' it or 'Discard' it
• With the Ring out of your inventory, interact with the gate and enter the Realm of Truth

How to get the secret ending in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Wuchang's secret ending requires the most work to unlock, but can also be done much earlier in the game, rolling the credits before you even reach the Bo Capital. Here's how to unlock it:

• Talk to the Red-Clad Lady every time you encounter her. She will be in the following locations:
  • Worship's Rise: Reverent Temple
  • Worship's Rise: Buddha Hills
  • Worship's Rise: Doomwillow Beach
  • Zhenwu: Avian Dwelling
• After meeting her at the Avian Dwelling shrine, listen to her talk and agree with her, receiving the Divine Blessing spell
• Progress the game until you reach Worship's Rise in Ruins: Annalum. Talk to the Storyteller and select 'Refuse' both times you are prompted
• Progress to the Palace Pass Entrance
• Fight and defeat the Bo Magus to unlock the secret ending

How to get the Ring of Samsara – Rebirth in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
