I. INTRODUCTION
---------------------
For those of you that don't know, there are 5 endings in Drakengard.
The first one should take about 10-20 hours to get, the next three
within a couple of hours after that and the last one will take you
quite a while. The purpose of this FAQ is to let you know what is
required to get all five endings as well as provide details and
descriptions of each ending for those who don't feel like going through
the hassle of getting each one or for those just curious. You'll also
find concise, detailed info on how to attain each of the three allies.

***MAJOR ENDING SPOILERS***
Just in case you don't want to go through the hassle of getting an
ending, here's a description/transcription of each of them. The
chapter and verse will be given, as well as the caption of each verse
from the game itself. Then will come the Epilogue, a description of
the movie, the title of the film with its statement at the beginning of
the credits, the saying of each character at the end and the number of
remaining endings listed.
a. Ending 1
CHAPTER 8 VERSE 9 (MOVIE)
The Dragon offers to become the seal in place of the dead goddess. For
the first time, a name is spoken. For the first time, tears are shed.
For the first and final time, love is confessed.
EPILOGUE
It is over. Awakened from the spell of the gods, Manah pleaded with
Caim and Verdelet for death, but they coldly push her away.
As Verdelet wonders who shall become the next seal, the dragon speaks:
"I shall be the seal."
Verdelet and Caim stare back in surprise. Does a dragon offer itself
to mankind?
A change has been wrought in the dragon's proud heart. That change
will save all of humanity.
MOVIE
Red lies on the ground and Caim has his arms wrapped around her neck.
Verdelet chants a spell that will make Red the seal. In Verdelet's
hand is a page with unknown writing on it. As he finishes his chant
the words from the page wrap around Red's body and burn into her skin.
Red cries and moans as this happens.
RED: I have never seen you weep before. There is but one thing I wish
for you to remember. Angelus. My name is Angelus.
Caim turns his head and a tear drops form his eye.
RED: You are the first and the last of your kind to know my name.
Farewell, fool human.
Small dust particles of light rise, Angelus disintegrates and flies
into the sky in a ball of light.
Verdelet: Ye gods, is it your will that we should live on?
The camera falls back and rises as Caim and Verdelet stand before Red's
spilt blood.
END
Drakengard
the Anguish of an unsmiling watcher
CAIM: On sacrifices countless will a new shrine be built by the hands
of the gods.
Four endings remain.
b. Ending 2
CHAPTER 9 VERSE 6 (MOVIE)
The goddess is reborn from the seeds of a million times over. Can
anyone hope to be spared?
EPILOGUE
Caim stands alone, holding the remains of Furia in his arms. One after
another her sisters rise into the sky, their hideous screams heralding
the end of mankind.
MOVIE
Caim holds his dead sister in his arms at the edge of a cliff,
overlooking the city. Dozens of clones of the resurrected Furia rise
before them.
Angelus: The seeds never were and mankind remains unforgiven.

fire.

c. Ending 3
CHAPTER 9 VERSE VIII (MOVIE)
Caim stands over the corpse of the dragon. The dark shadow of death
has fallen upon the future of humanity. But Caim will fight still,
everything resting upon his steel blade.
EPILOGUE
The struggle is won, the dragon's blood spilled. As Caim destroys the
weed, not a trace of fear or doubt clouds his face.
Outside the temple, a million dragons howl as they rise to begin
annihilation of mankind. With battle-lust shining in his eyes, Caim
runs into the light.
MOVIE
Caim stands over Angelus.
Angelus: You have become strong.
Angelus then dies. Caim walks over to a seed of destruction and
slashes it, causing it to spill like water.
The room begins to crumble. Caim looks down, smiles as he realizes the
battle that lies ahead. He walks toward the exit, gives a sad glance
towards Angelus and then begins to run outside into the light.
END
Drakengard
a Companion's eternal farewell
ANGELUS: A pitiful child shall defy the hands of the gods, and a door
will close.
Two endings remain.

CHAPTER 12 VERSE 10 (MOVIE)
Using all the time kept in his body, Seere freezes the queen-beast.
Time turns to crystals that fall upon the earth, and Seere becomes the
hero of legend.
EPILOGUE
"Forgive me."
Within the eternity, Seere begs his sister's forgiveness. And then
time.is stopped.
MOVIE
Angelus flies fast towards the giant pregnant woman with Caim and Seere
on her back. Seere opens his arms as he rides the dragon as if
grasping for a hug. Angelus suddenly stops, sending Seere down on the
belly of the woman. Giant babies rise up to attack Angelus and Caim.
Seere lands on the woman's belly and lays on his side as if sleeping.
The giant babies viciously bite Angelus and Caim's sword is seen
falling to the ground.
SEERE: Will you forgive me now, Manah?
Time them becomes black crystals, starting on the top of the pregnant
woman's belly and covering her and the city around her entirely. Seere
lays as if asleep and the screen turns completely white, then black.
We then see the planet from an angle in space and a giant black crystal
where time is frozen.

the wild dreams of a Deluded child

weakling cast in eternal solitude.

queen-beast (giant pregnant woman) and are engulfed in a blaze of pure
white light that bends time and space. The queen-beast, Caim and
Angelus fall from a giant round blaze of light in the sky into modern
day Tokyo.
CHAPTER 13 VERSE 4 (MOVIE)

The battle that crossed space and time is won, the awesome enemy
defeated at last.
But the blood of the heroes who saved the world paints the town red.
MOVIE

ANGELUS: It is done! At last.
Angelus and Caim are then shot by two missiles. Two air jets come onto
the screen and Caim and Angelus fall to their death.

Over and out.
END
Drakengard,
the End of the dragon sphere
MANAH: Thank you for playing.

IV. ALLIES
---------------------------------
Due to the number of e-mails I'm getting about allies I decided to add
this concise, yet detailed, section on how to attain all three of the
allies in Drakengard.
The three allies have their own back-story and chapter that you must
complete to get the 4th and 5th endings of the game. Upon getting an
ally, you can bring him/her into battle by pressing the Circle button
during ground missions. Before the verse begins, select Ally to be
brought to a screen showing you which allies you have available.
Choose whichever ally you'd like to bring with you into battle and
continue on as normal.
When summoned, each ally has an unlimited amount of MP that comes from
his or her pact-partners. The HP of the ally slowly decreases when
summoned, as well as when regularly attacked. You're only allowed to
summon one ally 3 times in each ground mission.
a. LEONARD
In order to get Leonard first complete Chapter 2. After you've done
so, go to the game mode screen and select Story Mode. Go to the page
for Chapter 2 and you should see blacked out Roman numeral verses V and
IX. Select verse IX and the requirement to unlock the verse will be
given (you must complete verse 8 in under 20 minutes). After doing so,
you'll be taken to more Roman numeral verses, until verse XIV. After
you've completed verse XIV go back to Chapter 2 and select verse V.
When given the option, choose to go to the Forest of the Seal. When
you do so you'll be taken to the beginning of Leonard's Regret,
Leonard's side chapter (which is chronologically between Chapters 2 and
3). If you choose not go to the Forest of the Seal you'll still have
access to Leonard's Regret, you'll just have to choose to go there
yourself from the Chapter selection screen.
b. ARIOCH
In order to get Arioch you must complete chapter 3 then afterwards go
back to Chapter 3's verse list to find verses IV and IX blacked out.
Select verse IX and it will tell you that you have to beat verse 8 in
20 minutes. After you do so you'll continue on until verse XV. When
you're done, instead of continuing on to chapter 4, go back to Chapter
3 and select verse IV. When given the option choose to go to the
Temple of the Sea in order to start Arioch's Regret, Arioch's side
chapter (which is chronologically between Chapters 3 and 4), or if
you'd like, select Temple of the Desert, which will take you to Chapter
3 verse 4. Whichever you choose, you'll still have access to Arioch's
Regret, but selecting The Temple of the Sea is preferred.
c. SEERE
In order to get Seere, you must first have gotten Leonard and Arioch.
Then go to and complete Chapter 4. After you've done so, instead of
going on to Chapter 5, go back and you'll see verses VI and X blacked
out. Check the requirements for verse X and complete them. After
doing so select verse X and you'll go on through verse XII. Again,
instead of going to chapter 5 go back and check your Chapter 4 verses
again and select verse VI. When given the choice, go to the valley and
you'll begin Seere's Prayer, Seere's side chapter, which is
chronologically between Chapters 4 and 5.

V. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
---------------------------------
WARNING: SOME Q's/A's MAY HAVE ***SPOILERS***!!
Q. Do you have to play the game through more than once for all the
endings?
A. No, each ending is attained through new chapters that are unlocked
as you progress through the game.
Q. I can't beat Chapter 9v3 in 4:20. Any tips?
A. The best time to attack him is when he begins to form that circle of
light that sends out 'light bombs' to attack you. You should be able
to get at least 2 hits on him then. Keep pressing R2 to stay locked on
to him as much as possible. When he moves from left to right/right to
left, shoot a fireball in the path that he's going and time it right so
it can deal some damage or hold square and lock on to him to attack,
though he may dodge some or all of them. And last, don't use your
magic until he begins the light circle mentioned above because contact
is almost guaranteed.
Q. Where's Manah in Chapter 11 verse 1?
A. Get through the first two floors and when you get to the third
you'll have a room full of targets. After you defeat them grab the key
in the chest but DO NOT go through the door. Instead, go back to the
previous floor and press R3 to view your map. You should then see a
yellow target symbol on the map. Go into that room and Manah should be
there. Mission Complete!
Q. I can't get passed the verse with the giant babies. Any tips?
A. If I'm not mistaken, you only need to kill 50 of these
grotesqueries. Try to stay on the outside shooting in and use your
multiple target-lock. While you're locking on to targets, don't target
more than one baby, two the most, and stay focused on maneuvering to
avoid damage.
Q. Do you unlock anything for getting all five endings?
A. You unlock a Free Mode level in Tokyo. If you complete it you can
unlock a jet to fight as in aerial missions.
Q. Did you get all five endings?
A. I'm currently working on getting all the weapons so I can get the
final ending. UPDATE: Just got the fifth ending and it took me by
surprise, but it did put a huge grin on my face.
