What to Do After Getting the Seed
After getting the Seed, return the scattered treasures to their proper destinations, then enter the hidden room to the right of the Giant Moray Eel's body. Inside, press the button left of the terminal, enter Shutdown, and pass through the door that opens to trigger the true ending.
Taking the Seed completes the normal ending, and you can keep playing after the credits. The treasure returns are the additional condition that leads toward the secret ending. The true-ending achievement is separate from the Seed achievement, so seeing the credits does not finish this objective.
Prepare for the Treasure Return Trip
Gather any treasures you still need before returning equipment you use for exploration. The Silver Dagger, Cuica, Lantern and Crystal Egg each need to go back to an altar. Plan those stops around your remaining cleanup, especially if you are still using the Lantern as your light source.
Take the Sun Stone Coin and Moon Stone Coin for the dining hall statue. The coins are in the rooms to the left and right of the dining hall. They also provide access to the Gold Talisman chest, so follow the dining hall directions below when opening the chest used for treasure returns.
Have a Vision Elixir ready for the Medicine Bottle return, since you need it to see the ghost. Brew an Azurea Mushroom in a Kettle, adding water before brewing. If you need to build the Kettle, its recipe uses one Iron Pot and two Chains.
Open the Golden Chest and Return the Gold
- Climb into the second room on the right of the dining hall. This brings you to the statue used to open the passage toward the empty golden chest.
- Place the Sun Stone Coin and Moon Stone Coin in the statue's hands. The passage to the golden chest opens, giving you access to the gold treasures' return destination.
- Put the Gold Coins, Gold Nugget, Gold Bracelet, Gold Amulet, Gold Statue and Gold Talisman into that chest. These six gold treasures all belong in this shared return chest.
Where Every Treasure Belongs
Use this checklist to track the remaining returns. The food gems belong on the Sanctuary Door pedestals, while the relics go back to their altars. The Seed belongs to the normal-ending sequence you have already completed.
| Treasure | Return Destination |
|---|---|
| Gold Coins, Gold Nugget, Gold Bracelet, Gold Amulet, Gold Statue and Gold Talisman | The special golden chest reached through the dining hall statue's passage. |
| Bird Statue | Its nest in the rooms with exploding fungi. |
| Ceremonial Codex | The lectern in the astronomy room. |
| Diamond Ring | The finger of the skeleton lying in the river along the boat route toward the goblin caves. |
| Medicine Bottle | The ghost on the second floor of the corn room. Drink a Vision Elixir to see it. |
| Ragdoll | The child's skeleton in a crypt sarcophagus, past the Ruby Necklace camp and up the rope. |
| Ruby Necklace | The statue in the room below the very start of the game. |
| Queen Crown | Back on the queen's skeleton. |
| Bean Gem, Corn Gem, Guarana Gem and Tomato Gem | The four statues before the final room at the Sanctuary Door. |
| Silver Dagger | Its original altar behind the Jaguar Door. |
| Cuica | Its altar in the goblin caves. |
| Lantern | Its altar beyond the ring-puzzle door in the astronomy room. |
| Crystal Egg | Its altar at the bottom of the crypt, beyond the statue puzzle. |
Give the Medicine Bottle to the Ghost
- Drink a Vision Elixir on the second floor of the corn room. This reveals the ghost you need for the Medicine Bottle return.
- Give the Medicine Bottle to the visible ghost. This completes the bottle's return at its proper destination.
Use the Hidden Terminal to Finish the Ending
- Return to the Giant Moray Eel arena after completing the treasure returns. The hidden room opens to the right of the eel's body.
- Enter the hidden room beside the eel's body. Inside, you can reach the terminal and the button used for the shutdown sequence.
- Press the button to the left of the terminal. This cuts the power before you enter the terminal command.
- Enter Shutdown at the terminal. The command opens the door used to finish the secret-ending route.
- Pass through the newly opened door. This triggers the secret ending after the treasure-return sequence.
Check Missing Treasures Before Returning to the Arena
If a treasure has gone missing in co-op, have the host recover it through the Catalogue. The host can retrieve a lost treasure wherever it ended up, including another player's inventory. Use that recovery option to get the item back before completing its return.
Before heading back to the eel arena, review the destination checklist against your completed stops. Check each named gold treasure individually, then review the personal returns and altar items. Mark an entry complete when you have placed it at its destination so you can keep track of anything still outstanding.
