As previously mentioned, the outcomes in Sea of Stars are intricately linked to your actions during various quests, predominantly centered around exploration and challenging boss battles. However, it’s crucial to note that the content ahead contains significant spoilers. Therefore, consider this a red line, and take a moment to contemplate whether you wish to proceed further before uncovering the secrets to achieving the true ending.
Complete the Basic Ending
You can regard this as the initial step towards unlocking the true endings. After you’ve finished the game and triumphed over the final boss, you’ll encounter a scene where one of the seven monoliths, or, to put it differently, stone pillars, is already illuminated. To unlock the true endings, you must complete the quests listed below to illuminate the remaining monoliths.
Gather All 60 Rainbow Conches
Rainbow Conches are a collectible item in the Sea of Stars. They are found in yellow-and-blue chests that are scattered all across the world. They can also be obtained as rewards for doing sidequests. To reach the true ending, you need to collect a total of 60 Rainbow Conches. Although this may sound hectic, it is essential. The famous locations where you can find these Conches are:
- Cerulean Expanse
- Brisk- hidden market, the port town
- Abandoned Wizard’s lab
- Fishing hole in Mirth
- Other small quests and more
Face and Defeat The Queen That Was
Defeating the Queen That Was is unnecessary to complete the main story of Sea of Stars. However, doing so will unlock the true ending of the game. She is a powerful foe who can transform into a dimensional hand holding a gun. Defeating her will also grant you a reward for Serai’s ultimate weapon. You will encounter her at Cerulean Expanse in Seraï’s home world.
Free Duke Aventry from the Romaya
Duke Aventry serves Romaya at the Flooded Graveyard on Wraith Island. The quest revolves around the mission to recall and liberate Duke Aventry. To secure his release, you must uncover Romaya’s concealed passage and confront her in combat. After defeating Romaya, she will relinquish the Aventry Locket, which is the key to Duke Aventry’s freedom. Completing this quest results in Duke Aventry’s liberation and rewards you with an additional weapon to add to your arsenal.
Solving Puzzles in the Solstice Shrines
The puzzles within the Solstice Shrines are indeed challenging, but the effort is well worth it. Once you successfully solve these puzzles, your efforts will be richly rewarded with potent weapons and valuable accessories. In total, there are five Solstice Shrines dispersed across the maps. These locations include:
- Wraith Island
- Evermist Island
- The other 3 locations are marked on the home world map.
Sealed Docarri Ruins
To complete this quest, you’ll need to tackle puzzles and take on a boss with a new appearance in the Sealed Docarri Ruins. Upon successful completion of this adventure, you’ll be rewarded with another Rainbow Conch and new weapons.
Following and completing the quest above in any order will achieve the true ending in Sea of Stars. Last but not least, ensure that you thoroughly explore the game world and actively participate in a variety of quests. These actions are crucial for unveiling the hidden secrets necessary to attain this particular ending.
