_/_/_/_/ Introduction _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the endings.
First of all, despite what some FAQs might say, there are ONLY FOUR ENDINGS.
Not six, not eight, only four. There are 8 paths you can take, but the actual
endings are only 4. Thankfully, if you open the Vandal Hearts 2 disc with
notepad, you can find the entire dialogue in plain text. That was helpful in
determining if there actually were more endings or variations.

The only choices that affect the endings are:
1) If you 'Make Amends' or 'Excuses' to Adele after Battle 22 in Chapter 3.
2) If you tell Clive "I'll protect her" or "You protect her" after battle 44
  in Chapter 4.
3) If you enter the Yuri battle with or without the Vandal Hearts Sword
  (V-Hearts) in Chapter 4.

Some FAQs say that the answers to the questions Nicola asked you way back on
the Prologue Chapter (1-Live Freely, 2-Make a Girl Happy, 3-Become the King,
4-I don't know) change the outcome of the story when it comes to the endings,
but it doesn't. I checked the script inside the disc and there are no other
variations.

Here's how the endings play out, and how to obtain each one:


Ending Zero
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This initial part of the ending will always play, regardless of what choices
you have made throughout the game.

After beating the last boss, Goddard comes back, the Hero stops his magic with
his sword while his companions escape. The Nigran Cathedral collapses, and then
the Hero shows up and explains that he was helped by Franz. The hero and his
companions talk and then leave. You get a prologue explaining how the
Twin empire and Vernantze went to war after the collapse of the church.
Also that things became worse with civil wars, and future still looked bleak.
Then comes a scene with a butterfly and the text that says that a caterpillar
can't become a butterfly without first becoming a cocoon. Then you see the
credits and what happened to each of your battle companions.

Again, all of this plays on every ending. After those scenes, that's when you
get the different endings and its variations.

Ending A
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-After the credits, it shows Adele as queen, trying to get a peace accord to
pass. Dukes and Emperors are placing blame on each other. The queen goes
outside, the hero appears, they kiss. You get a scene that says "END" and you
see 4 circles on the bottom-right. The first circle (leftmost) is lit.

**Additional Scene**
If you got 100% Weapon Find, Instead of getting the "END" scene, you see the
hero trying to return the V-Hearts Sword, and Ash from the first game appears.
You get an image says that says "You are the weapon master" and you'll also get
a code to unlock Advanced Mode. If you finish the game in Advanced mode,
instead of a code, you'll get a congratulatory message from the developers.
This additional ending and the developer message can only be seen by getting
the best ending. It will not play out in any other ending.

-How to get this ending?
1) 'Make Amends' to Adele after Battle 22 in Chapter 3.
2) Tell Clive "You protect her" after battle 44 in Chapter 4 (Clive will live).
3) Enter the Yuri battle with the V-Hearts Sword in Chapter 4 (Yuri will live).

Note: this will guarantee that your childhood friends (Adele, Clive, Yuri) will
live and you will be in good standing with all of them.


Ending B
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-After the credits, it shows a kid calling out to the hero, who is now a mayor.
He says that the hero's wife, Rosaly, is giving birth. The kid asks if he was
really a knight and the hero tries to convince that being a hero is not about
killing people. You then get the "END" screen, the second circle is lit.

**Additional scene**
If Yuri is alive the ending will play exactly the same, except the kid
mentions Yuri near the middle of the ending.

-How to get this ending? There are three ways.

First path:
1) 'Make Amends' to Adele after Battle 22 in Chapter 3.
2) Tell Clive "I'll Protect Her" after battle 44 in Chapter 4 (Clive will die).
3) Enter the Yuri battle without the V-Hearts Sword in Chapter 4
  (Yuri will die).

Note: this is the path where you see Adele committing suicide before the last
battle, she blames herself for Clive and Yuri's death. In this scenario, the
ending will not mention Yuri.
Even though all your friends are dead, you don't get the worst ending because
you made amends with Adele.


Second path:
1) 'Make Amends' to Adele after Battle 22 in Chapter 3.
2) Tell Clive "I'll Protect Her" after battle 44 in Chapter 4 (Clive will die).
3) Enter the Yuri battle with the V-Hearts Sword in Chapter 4 (Yuri will live).

Note: in this path, you also see Adele committing suicide before the last
battle, even though Yuri appears. She blames herself of Clive's death. In this
scenario, the ending will mention Yuri.


Third path:
1) 'Make Excuses' to Adele after Battle 22 in Chapter 3.
2) Tell Clive "I'll Protect Her" after battle 44 in Chapter 4 (Clive will die).
3) Enter the Yuri battle with the V-Hearts Sword in Chapter 4 (Yuri will live).

Note: in this path, Adele doesn't commit suicide, but gets angry at the hero,
and you actually fight and kill her in the last battle with Mahler.
In this scenario, the ending will mention Yuri.


Ending C
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-After the credits, it shows the hero in front of Adele's grave. Clive and
Rosaly appear, they talk, the hero takes off in his horse. Then you see the
hero & horse on a cliff, he looks to the right and sees child versions of him
and Adele. You then get the "END" screen, the third circle is lit.

**Additional scene**
If Yuri is alive the ending will play exactly the same, except Rosaly mentions
Yuri near the middle of the ending.

Ending D
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-After the credits, it shows the hero as a tyrant emperor.
Adele's ghost appears. Then an assassin tries to kill him, but it was all a
ploy to have an excuse to invade another country. Then you get an epilogue
saying how he was killed by a family member when he reached 85 years old.
You then get the "END" screen, the fourth (and last) circle is lit.

1) 'Make Excuses' to Adele after Battle 22 in Chapter 3.
2) Tell Clive "I'll Protect Her" after battle 44 in Chapter 4 (Clive will die).
3) Enter the Yuri battle without the V-Hearts Sword in Chapter 4
  (Yuri will die).

Note: Adele doesn't commit suicide, but gets angry at the hero, and you fight
and kill her in the last battle with Mahler. Since you made excuses to Adele
instead of amends in Chapter 3, then killed her at the last battle, and you
also let Clive and Yuri die, then you get the worst ending. If you would have
made amends, then you would have gotten Ending B.
