Despite being linear, and your character having literally no voice lines,Armored Core 6has a real and rather good storyline. As you battle your way through the enemies, sometimes you will be faced with a choice in missions. You may have missed these, but if you look in the top right corner of mission screens, you may notice a small branch icon signaling a storyline choice will be included. Making your choices will result in one of three endings, two of which can be achieved on your first playthrough and the last one after yourthird playthrough ofArmored Core 6.
All 3 endings inArmored Core 6
People are calling theArmored Core 6endings either good or bad. The true ending deserves the name, but I am not going to use the first two terms. This isn’t because I got the bad ending on my first playthrough, I promise; it’s simply because I think they both have their merits.
Fires of Raven ending
In this ending, you decide that the best thing for humanity is to destroy Rubicon and therefore take Coral out of the picture. No more Coral, no more war. However, Ayre, the voice in your head, hates this idea, so you have tokick her ass about it.
It’s tough, as Ayre has been with you for so long and guides you through so many different missions. However, if this is the decision you decide is right, then this is the toll you must pay. Personally, I like this option. Sure, it kills a whole planet of souls, but in the end, it’s for the greater good. Isn’t it…?
These are the choices you must make in the missions to end up with thisArmored Core 6ending.
Liberator of Rubicon ending
If you decide to side with Ayre and the Coral inArmored Core 6,you end up with the Liberator of Rubicon ending. This goes against the wishes of both Cinders and your handler, Walter. However, you save Rubicon, and the Coral and Ayre will talk about a new future with humanity. Walter and Cinders have a problem with this, so you need to kick their asses about it. To get this ending inArmored Core 6, you need to make these choices of missions.
If you are playing New Game+ to get this ending, you will also need to choose these missions.
Alea Lacta Est ending
This is the ending only available to the loyal few who choose to play the game through three times. You must have achieved both of the previous twoArmored Core 6endings. By this point, your reaction times will be so fast and attuned that you may as well be an Armored Core. Just plug your brain into your PC and get on with it.
This ending brings about the fusion of humanity and Coral. However, the ALLMIND has a few issues with this situation, so you have to kick its ass about it. Here are the choices necessary to end up with the final of theArmored Core 6endings.
