The bad ending with the Prince is the earliest one you can possibly get in Metaphor ReFantazi and it takes place on 9/24. Here, you will travel to the Ancient Eldan Sanctum only to find out the Prince has been slain. After a long conversation with the Old Hermitess Gruidae, a Mysterious Voice will play in your head. This will mention several secrets about your identity, revealing how Ark is actually the manifestation of the Prince’s idealism.

If you choose not to become the Prince, the game will come to an abrupt end, with the ending screen saying Fantasy is Dead.

2) Fantasy Is Ruined – Bad Ending With Louis

The bad ending with Louis is probably the worst of the lot, and it takes place during the endgame. You will be able to get this ending between 9/26 and 10/25, when Loius will be waiting for you at the end of Skybound Avatar. Louis will engage in a lengthy conversation with you and your party here, where he will explain his vision to alter the current status of the world. He wants to create a world where humans run rampant and the existing hellish system is dealt with altogether.

It is a logical speech from Louis, and he will invite you to join him in creating this new utopia. If you choose the You’re absolutely right” option, you will be led to the second bad ending of the game. Your companions will all be in shock, questioning your actions and the meaning of the journey overall. Eventually, they will be forced to accept you, and Louis will cast a spell to fulfill his dreams. After this sequence, you will reach an ending screen that will read Fantasy is Ruined.

3) Fantasy is Only Fiction – Bad ending with More

This ending takes place during the final battle with Louis on Tyrant’s Star on 10/26. Louis is a three-phase boss fight, and after you manage to defeat his first phase, the boss will seemingly kill you. Instead, you will find yourself transported back to Akademia, where More will be waiting for you. He will mention how your journey was indeed an illusion. Instead, his “novel” is the true world – a space between reality and fantasy.

More’s world will take you to a scene that looks like modern-day Japan from an anime. You will quickly realize that this is not the real world that he speaks of. If you accept whatever More says, it will trigger the final bad ending of the game. In the end, the screen will read Fantasy is Only Fiction.

You will simply have to ignore all the bad endings and defeat Louis to get the true ending of Metaphor ReFantazio. As mentioned before, Louis is a three-phase boss fight, and it can take you many tries to overcome this adversary. However, once you manage to beat him, you will win the majority of the kingdom’s support to finally become the new king. Ark will embark on a journey to explore the world, and this is the true ending of the game.

Your coronation will also take place, along with a cutscene that fast-forwards time for a year to record Euchronia’s change. The ending screen here will finally read the following: Fantasy Lives On.
