Darkwood - True Ending

[@B4llsD33p69_OwO]

I love how both endings represent the reality you desire to happen. Either submit to sweet lies and live happily, or see the truth and die horribly, but for the right cause. Incredible game.

[@happyguardsman8510]

@@xpro1173 Ye, its all a matter of opinion. Also, about the 'right cause' thing. I think its a good thing that you end up killing the entity, as i think its more bad than good. Here are my reasons: 1. The thing is aggressive: if it was peaceful it could have just used its near god-like ability to manipulate the people around it to forget that it exists, and not raise attention. 2. Some dude (on reddit i think) mentioned that the structure of the forest mimics that of a multicellular human like organism. Examples are: the giant holes or rifts in which you can see tree roots everywhere, look like the inside of a body, the 'anti-bodies' (the monsters) killing the intruders (the watchers- government, trader, protag) and taking them over to become part of body (the doctor going insane), the 'helpful or neutral bacteria' (villagers, savages, the three), the entity in the center of the forest bieng like a heart feeding the body (when the entity dies, the forest dies, same with human heart). What im getting to is that if this thing can corrupt entire lands (underground, the air, the land) then it can corrupt the planet too, and you can see why that would suck. So in conclusion killing it my opinion would be the best option.

[@hanchiman]

One reason why it has an unnerving horror to it is also based on a fairy tale like horror, with the fear of the pitch black dark and also the wood is still a "fearful" place to be for a human even though we been living off the forest since stone age, due to many thing hidden in the forest.

[@bulletkingaming2808]

What's great is that, the whole thing was a fungi. A mutated one to be exact, named Specimen 21. And the military had tried to destory the thing with both fire and electricity. But never worked. After the protagonist had burned the heart of all the horror. The military then were sent to rescue any survivors of the Darkwood after some reports of the woods being burnt to the ground. The people within were then saved, because of the selfless and unknown act of a trenchcoated man. Or should I say, heartless and unknown act of relief.

[@Hovel420]

I wouldn’t say it was heartless. The sleepers are obviously dying given the fact that we see many of the bodies lying there are corpses, and those barely alive are just a shell of them former selves. The Stranger burning the whole entity to the ground, ending the sleepers misery and potentially saving the remaining inhabitants of the Darkwood is actually a pretty decent thing to do, even for him.

Interestingly enough, the devs claim that they are unfamiliar with HP Lovecraft, and that the similarities between this game and Lovecraft's works are largely coincidental. The inspiration for this game mostly comes from Slavic Mythology, and the works of Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, such as Roadside Picnic (or STALKER as the film and video game adaptation is called). Many of the gameplay elements are also inspired by Project Zomboid, Fallout, and Dark Souls.

I guess it's time to share my thoughts on the game on a 2 year old video lmao So, first of all, I fucking hate horrors. I can't stand constant jumpscares with no atmosphere. But damn, Darkwood has brought my hope for a better future for horrors back to life. It is such a beatifully crafted game, it had me on the edge of my seat for the entire time. Being a pussy I am I was struggling leaving Dry Meadow for the first couple of irl days, but when I understood that if I'll traverse through the woods carefully, giving it my full focus, then I can take on most challenges with relative ease. This game is amazing, I've never played a more scary game before in my life, but the interesting story, the superb design and an extremely scary but fair world kept me going and wanting more. Okay, I don't think that I've ever wrote a yt comment that long in my life, so I'll wrap this up with this: Darkwood is one of the best games I've ever played in my life, and I just want to thank everyone at Acid Wizard for bringing this masterpiece to life.

I didn't know the game had an alternate ending until recently, so I loaded my save back up and went through the steps. Cool to experience that months after I finished it. This is one of my favorite games of all time, I followed it from its time on steam greenlight, to full release. The way the game uses its fantastic sound design and creepy visuals to immerse you and scare you without the use of cheap jumpscares is really awesome. This ending fits much more with the game than the normal ending. Also, the text during the ending had some differences for me, I guess it depends on what quests you do in the story and stuff like that. Question is though, is this the actual "true ending" or is this just one of 2 endings, based on your interpretation of the story?

[@DragoonBB]

I assume this is the true ending. Which from how others have explained makes sense. You fell asleep and got captured by "the being" probably after going to the end of the road home.Which would explain how nobody is talking about the giant forest literally a few miles away. Going to sleep just means you let the being eventually kill you.

[@gronndar]

This is true ending, since the other one is just a fake dream, where you become a living battery for the Being.

Doctor he was busy being crazy, ??? mushroom granny, the three were pretty sad that I killed the tree, the snail man died, the musician listened to the forest noises to calm his panicking thoughts (went crazy?)

What happens if you listen to the being?

[@YoUtUbEhAnDlEsArEgReAt]

Same as usual ending. You fall asleep and dream about the forest and how everything's alright now, as your body is absorbed by the creature.

[@KingWilliamlove]

Does anyone have any tips for when you have to run through the mouth at the end of the caves at the radio tower I died twice because I have bad timing unfortunately and it sucks that you can breeze through the whole dream but cant get through a mouth 😭

[@sweetjohn123]

The last part was inspired by 1408 movie I think

[@Chrunvireak]

No. The fate of the man with wolf's snout is killed by my hand xD.

[@seudcube]

So could someone explain the ending to me I still don't understand what happened

[@Alvah707]

The plague is some mutated fungi entity called specimen 21. Military has tried to destroy it with fire and electricity but it was too late. You, the protagonist was some government agent sent into the woods to destroy it. But forgeting most of what you were doing after the doctor injected you with the serum which started to drive you mad. At the end you find yourself going to sleep after escaping the woods, but its a false reality this "entity" has tricked you into thinking. Instead of sleeping in your fake apartment, you find out its not real. And you are on top of a tree, presumably in the midle of the forest where this fungi is. You burn them all. And the entire forest down killing most things. At the end there are rescue choppers getting those villagers that left that made it out of the forrest. You died, but not in vain by killing the entity that has been tormenting people, creating these creatures, and driving others mad.

@@Alvah707 thanks I appreciate it

[@rezwan793]

I killed Piotrek by mistake the first time i met him, so technically i got a false end where we all survived except him. LOL i like my ending better.

[@Jewus19]

but the protagonist did not survive ;) one way or another. False ending: he becomes a sleeper and gets slowly consumed by the entity. True ending: everything burns.

[@rezwan793]

True lol. Man ive been looking for a game like Darkwood for the past 1month since i finished it. You have any suggestions?

[@dayruiner5652]

BLOOD JXHK A prequel where we get to shoot the person and steal their coat (the one, that Wolfman has)

[@gavindillon1486]

But the woods are dead He could make a cameo though

[@thetreatment498]

I would love that. But i would prefer one with the trader. If he is one of the outsiders we would play as him and see the team of the ousiders( the man when you move to chapter 2, the flamethrower guy, the protagonistetc). And see how they gor seperated maybe?

[@Krullest]

The treatment so like a prequel to the game or something? If so that would be very interesting but if its after the events of the first game it’s unlikely that it needs a second one.

[@janickvliek6530]

@@thetreatment498(spoilers) the trader is a mushroom clone of the protagonist. You will find this out when he dies he has the same key and journal as you but they are mushroomy. Plus his face looks abit like yours. And the game suggests that there are more mushroom clones. For example: there are 2 crosses with a shiny stone on it one is real the other is mushroomy.

[@unit614]

is this 1.3 version for the true ending???, i'm on 1.2(if 1.2 does not have true ending).... :( , i'm glad i haven't sleep yet(on the game)

your not supposed to burn the people smh

[@Jindomess]

Idk if I missed it. But what happens to the Musician boy?

[@101stormforce]

His condition ends up getting worse and he becomes more mutated/grotesque. If you follow his storyline you learn a bit about him depends on how you played it really.

[@Jindomess]

@@101stormforce I thought there was more to it. Is he just in the shack sitting there all "big" and grotesque and that's it? Literally loved the musician boy for no particular reason

[@101stormforce]

Yeh, you can feed him and the next day hes all like blah. Then the day after.......hes gone. Left in the dark a bit with what actually happend to him. Take a look at the wiki. Theres a section on him if you wanna learn more.

Can you make a false ending? Want to see it!

[@YoUtUbEhAnDlEsArEgReAt]

It's boring as crap. The character falls asleep and text pops up telling you about what happened to the characters you left behind in the forest, depending on how you interacted with them. I know you've most likely already seen it by now, this is for other people passing through.

[@benox50]

Weird thing is that I got the flamethrower but could not use it, so I just decided to touch being instead : o

How many chapter in this game?

[@chaoticfisherman373]

If there's good ending Then there should be sequel

[@leandromacias6461]

I hope so, but I can't see how they would approach that.

[@Krullest]

i dont see how they could do that. The entity dies (along with yourself) and the problem has been resolved. Making a sequel would just be unnecessary and could potentially ruin the first game. Just like what the last of us became after the 2nd game came out.

[@Krullest]

But they could make a PREQUEL instead with one of the other characters like the trader (obviously before they died or something)

[@chaoticfisherman373]
