Spoiler-light practical guide
Zero Parades endings guide
Zero Parades has multiple endings based on faction standing, recruitment choices, stress states, and key decisions. This page helps you prepare without spoiling the outcomes.
Quick Answer
Track major alliances, betrayals, recruitment outcomes, stress states, and unresolved tasks. Save before choices that sound like final commitments. Keep separate named saves for different route branches.
Spoiler-Light Hint
When a game says a decision will define who you are, believe it.
Full Guide
Route variables to track
Recruitment results (Karolina, Ramses, others), faction posture (who trusts you, who fears you), weapon/tool decisions, completed side tasks, stress pressure levels, and key failed or passed checks. All of these feed into the ending calculation.
Save structure for endings
Keep one rolling save for normal play and separate named saves before major commitments. Name saves by the decision they precede. This makes ending comparison possible without replaying the entire game.
Known ending categories
Community-reported ending categories include: faction-aligned endings (siding with major groups), independent endings (refusing major alliances), stress-state endings (high delirium or anxiety routes), and recruitment-dependent endings (available only with specific companions). Exact names and counts are unconfirmed.
How to see multiple endings
Use your named saves to branch at key decision points. The most efficient approach is to save before the final act, then reload and change one major variable at a time.
Common Mistakes
- Keeping only autosaves.
- Ignoring side tasks that may affect final context.
- Assuming one good-sounding choice guarantees the best ending.
- Reading ending spoilers before understanding your own route.
