Quick Answer

If you are trying to test the bomb ending, make a named save before final-act commitments, then track faction posture, weapon/gun route, unresolved explosive or sabotage tasks, stress state, and who is still recruited. Change one variable at a time.

Spoiler-Light Hint

Treat any scene involving explosives, sabotage language, evacuation, or irreversible faction pressure as a branch point.

Full Guide

Bomb ending short answer

Do not chase this from a single autosave. Keep a clean pre-final-act save, record your faction posture, gun route, stress state, and recruitment status, then branch carefully. The exact bomb-ending label and triggers should be treated as route-sensitive until stronger documentation is available.

Variables to record

Track five buckets: faction helped, faction harmed, weapon status, stress state, and unresolved sabotage-adjacent tasks. If a choice mentions detonation, evacuation, demolition, panic, or irreversible public damage, save before continuing.

Safe branch method

Start from your clean save and change one variable at a time. First test faction posture, then companion status, then weapon/gun route, then stress. This makes it possible to identify what actually moved the ending instead of guessing from a tangled save file.

Build advice

Use Statehood and Blueprints to read political stakes, Sensors and Instincts to catch environmental warnings, and Cold Read or Personalism to understand whether an NPC is escalating a scene. Technoflex may matter if the route involves devices or improvised equipment.

What not to assume

Do not assume the bomb ending is only one final dialogue option. In Zero Parades, endings appear to depend on accumulated route pressure, and exact ending names should not be treated as confirmed unless you have direct evidence from your run.
