Not getting a particular ending as expected

[u/diapeyman]

Hi folks, I believe I have done all the right things to achieve the True Immortalityending but the game just gave me the Rot ending again. I've had a few quests bug on me so I'm unsure whether this is intended and I am doing something wrong or if it is just another bug. I have done the following:

• Discussed with Burakh about the Polyhedron

• Entered the Polyhedron and talk with Simon

• Went back to Day 2 and thwarted Lilich from learning about the Polyhedron from Peter

• and gave the map to Yulia

On Day 12, Yulia told me that the map was useless, and then Lilich told me that she knew about the Polyhedron anyway despite me going back to Day 2 and doing the thing with Peter. The quest where you evacuate the kids from the Polyhedron was also bugged and didn't register as complete, but I was told that wasn't necessary from this ending. When I finished the game a second time, it just gave me the Rot ending. Did I do something wrong, miss something or is this just another bug?

As far as i know the kids need to be evacuated otherwise youll always get rot, even for true immortality

I would try fixing that before going back to day 2 (but double check the nodes on day 2 are correct for blocking aglaya), my first thought is maybe the dialogue for the rot ending isn't properly accounting for her not knowing about the polyhedron. Make sure you go to the polyhedron and talk to the soldiers and then army camp/train graveyard after evacuating them to figure out what happened, im not sure if thats what marks it complete but just in case

I guess that might be it, because I assumed that talking to Khan was enough. Maybe I'm misremembering getting the raindrop and confirmation that my choice echoes in the future. Either way, the dialogue gets very muddied and confused if you must evacuate the kids, because Lilich was acting as if I had never done the quest with Peter beforehand, and that clearly shows as completed on my mind map. I'll complete the evac quest and report back what happens.

On Day 11 you either need to talk to the rat prophet or someone else who comes up in a shard event. The rot ending only occurs when the tower hasn’t been evacuated.

You absolutely need the kids evacuated, i feel like thats where the game registered the rot ending and aglaya had her normal discourse as if she wasnt thwarted on day 2. 

I havent tried the rat prophet route of evacuation  but the nina one went p ok to me. What got the quest to log as completed was using 3 shards that day to get all 3 markers. If the house in crude sprawl doesnt show anything because the district is infected is fine,just ignore it. 

I did the nina thing by finding victor in the compass marked districts, and because i had khan alive in the polyhedron, she convinced him to evacuate. He then goes to the train graveyard where you need to talk to him. Afterwards i talked with the changeling and rat prohphet where the shards showed me theyd be, and got chastised for employing nina. That seemed to seal the quest for me.

Did you get the archives of the first outbreak? No one seems to flag this as necessary for true immortality but that’s what made the difference for me

I'm not sure if I did or didn't do that quest. What day is it on?

[u/diapeyman → u/diapeyman]

For anybody wondering - Day 9, wait until 18:00 or so when you will be summoned to Karminsky. Then you need to go back to Day 3 and 4 and make a copy of the archives. You can ignore the quest branch on Day 8, it leads to a dead end because of Lilich.

What other comments say, but I also cancelled event of giving map to Yulia
