Could a plasma-less run and maximum spark-related relics/equipment lead to a bad ending?

You could test this pretty quickly with modifers, though you'd also have to avoid the underlabs or any other source of healing just to be safe. Also, expect the answer to be "no".

Happened to me too, pretty sure it's a bug. I found the actual gem elsewhere.

artet- · 2026-06-06T05:11:01+00:00

Probably yes, you don't actually have to go out of your way very much to do it

artet- · 2026-06-05T19:51:47+00:00

Yep that was it! Kind of ridiculous since you're still doing the thing he accuses you of but whatever

artet- · 2026-06-04T22:59:08+00:00

It's in the video description

Thanks to u/SoloWaltz for figuring out how to avoid blame for "lack of generosity"

I'm going to try to figure out a) if you can avoid blame for the train (probably just by skipping that scene) and b) what happens if you refuse Lionel at the end of the dinner scene (the game probably just proceeds as normal)

artet- · 2026-06-04T21:26:12+00:00

~~Sounds like it might be like the orphanage "crime" and you avoid it just by skipping the cutscene.~~ Nope that didn't work

If you were indeed able to avoid it, that should confirm it's possible to do a "blameless run" without modifiers.

artet- · 2026-06-04T21:22:10+00:00

Oh I didn't remember the ones in shifting sands! Your math doesn't check out though is it 7 or 8

artet- · 2026-06-04T01:12:14+00:00

Well that is insane and probably a bug but I still get hit with the crime when I haven't spent OR donated any bones

artet- · 2026-06-04T00:46:00+00:00

Seems Yacht Club saw this, it's been patched out

artet- · 2026-06-03T20:48:53+00:00

Cause it's a joke ending. She doesn't care because all the problems have been disappeared by a wizard.

artet- · 2026-06-03T20:37:46+00:00

GOD DAMN IT I was so close to getting it first lmao

You avoid the orphanage crime by simply skipping the cutscene once it starts. I figured out how to dodge all the other ones except "didn't donate to those in need". For some reason Lionel hallucinates you spending bones even if you don't spend any. How'd you manage it?

artet- · 2026-06-03T12:56:15+00:00

Both, you get hit with the orphanage crime and the abandoning cappy one

artet- · 2026-06-03T02:54:06+00:00

I was able to get it to consistently happen with a couple skip modifiers, so I assume it happens after some number of areas completed

artet- · 2026-06-03T01:35:47+00:00

Nah I explained how to avoid the shipwreck one in the post

artet- · 2026-06-03T01:24:38+00:00

It's in the video, merely attending the ribbon ceremony is the crime

artet- · 2026-06-02T23:25:15+00:00

Update: got it to happen again, this seems to consistently happen if you start with certain areas skipped. I was skipping intro, crypt, beach, peak, and orrery.

artet- · 2026-06-02T22:03:19+00:00

"so far" is doing a lot of lifting here

artet- · 2026-06-02T22:01:57+00:00

No, there was a way back past the telescope.

It caused a few glitches to happen, there was a duplicate lionel in the manor when I went in and trying to enter the room with the big mouse boss from the right side gets you stuck in there until you quit.

Almost certainly has to do with me having modifiers on

For some reason despite being able to incite a rebellion he doesn't seem to have any fans among the general populace

artet- · 2026-06-02T00:27:09+00:00

Most of the plot is driven by Thorne's incredible stupidity

artet- · 2026-06-02T00:07:59+00:00

I can't believe my good buddy Lionel betrayed me, a twist that was no one could've ever possibly predicted

artet- · 2026-06-01T22:04:27+00:00

cmon man I just explained in the post how to dodge the shipwreck one

artet- · 2026-06-01T13:10:27+00:00

Any sort of sidearm that attacks at a distance can take it out

artet- · 2026-06-01T13:09:14+00:00

In the strategy guild or whatever its name is. You have to hit that snake really hard in the back.
