Fun fact, the *Zero Time Dilemma* scene where he flips that coin is titled “Coincide”. Which is a fairly solid pun for a scene where your possible death is decided by a coin.
Thing about that scene too, if you don't play the rest of the game, then it's a pointless victory with no payoff. Meanwhile, You beat everything else, go back and win the coin toss, you get the true ending. That's something I've always loved about the Zero Escape series. The Character endings lead you to the true one.
The game Two Worlds. The shady looking dude at the beginning is actually the final boss. If you attack him and make him follow you into the nearby village and harm the villagers, they will kill him for you.
Yeah, I think they had him in the video of bosses that you could off waaay earlier than the game planned. Pretty sure the DMC boss featured in the same one
I love the BOTW speedrun from a story level because the idea of Link sleeping for 100 years, waking up naked in a cave and then running off to be Ganon to death with a stick is just so funny.
The far cry ending definitely is the best ending. The choices you have from the real endings...phew...child soldiers or religious extremists. I'd rather side with pagan min
Absolutely. I was mad when I reached that ending, like everything I'd done had just made things worse. Min may have been an authoritarian dictator, but at least he gave stability and a livable country. When the choice is between that, child marriage, and child soldiers, how is it even a choice?
@@kytamura But, he kills someone at the table for no apparent reason at all, before leaving you temporarily. Still, judging by the comments, that is indeed a better ending.
@@zigazav1 I don't want either, but I recognize that a broken arm is better than a broken neck. Likewise, if I have to pick between mass-murdering lunatics, I'll take the one that feeds me.
Do you know how mad I would be if I were Zelda, fighting Ganon for 100 years. Then Link just wakes up and takes him out without even putting on a shirt?!?
I think you're forgetting he's already been, gunning down innocent people, murdering children or selling them into slavery, selling drugs and being a warlord long before you got there. He just wants you to join him in whatever evil shit he's doing.
Also, iirc it's the actual canon ending according to the devs, because it's the only reasonable thing any of us would do. Psycho dictator that just murdered someone with a ball pen, got annoyed at staining his shoes; then stabs a man with a fork and makes him beg for help, just asked you to sit down and eat some crab Rangoon; what do you do? You eat the fucking crab Rangoon.
I’ll be honest, I unlocked all 4 divine beasts before I even went to the Impa village in BoTW. I also had all the armor upgrades and the master sword. The only thing I didn’t have was the golden poo. The reason? If you let me do everything before even starting the main quest, I will literally do everything possible before even thinking of the main quest.
In Witch's House, depending on your definition of time-consuming, you can win just by not entering the house. The witch's legs were chopped off, so if you wait an hour, she bleeds to death.
Well, I mean, you say (spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler) so in a way it's not really (spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler) crying. ...Witch's House was a good game, especially for an RPG Maker game so reliant on instakills. Excellent atmosphere. Good story. I liked it.
I remember Farcry 4 where you just wait for Pagan Min to finish his phone call at the beginning of the game. Afterwards your patience is rewarded. He takes you to spread your mother's ashes, game over, roll credits. You win!
And technically you liberated Kyrat too, as Pagan's only goal was to pass the ownership to Ajay. Unlike Farcry 5's ending where it doesn't work as Rook literally fails their only objective.
@@thanatosvorigan4986 Well, considering Far Cry 5's endings boil down to a choice between getting a nuke dropped on you or being brainwashed, I feel like the secret ending, where you decide that arresting a cult leader, in the middle of his own compound, while you're woefully out gunned, is a stupid idea, and leave, to presumably call the god damn army, is probably the best choice
Or, even better, the cheat code that can be entered by standing in a specific spot right after first encountering 9s in the prologue, and entering a series of inputs that, when done correctly, skips you right to the end of ending E? was only just found like two weeks ago, but definitely seems worthy of a list like this, considering Yoko Taro confirmed that indeed was the game's "final secret".
@@cjv1128 yeah the one that literally just got found like a week or so back, I read that article too lol. You stand between some boxes and press a bunch of buttons. I think it's supposed to be some weird pun on 2B, like "Between 2 Boxes" or something, but that's just a random theory, who knows what that madman is up to lol. They did Lists on more than one occasion mentioning NieR Automata and how you can commit suicide with the OS Chip, I'm sure they've probably covered the "letter designated ending" that @Zeta mentioned. I don't think _I_ even know about that though, so maybe not🤔 All's I knows is, I need me some NieR REPLICANT!!
Actually, while you are assured to win the coin toss in ZTD the first time, you're guaranteed to lose it on all subsequent times. The point of the ending where you win it the first time does not become clear until the very end of the game.
@@thewateringwiz7118 Well the entire franchise is built around the Idea of mental time travel and universe hoping (don't ask for a detailed explanation, we'd be here all day). Long story short each game has multiple paths that change the flow of the story greatly and every path has a different ending, every ending by the way, is canon. This is because the main characters that you control (plus 3 other characters) are able to move through the story branches at will (Ex; You get a password in path A, But the door is only there in path B, and the main characters are aware of this). The reason why Zero II (the plague doctor) rigged the coin toss at the beginning was basically an "escape root" for the players at the very end, because once all 9 players figured out and beat the Decision Game, their prize was some knowledge relevant to the plot and an active nuclear bomb set to blow in 30 seconds, forcing all the players to mentally jump back to the rigged coin toss where they were allowed to leave. The reason was so they could still have gone through the hellish events of the game, but Zero II's hands in that timeline would technically be clean (although he does give Carlos one final choice to kill him, we don't see the result because it smashes to black as Carlos is given a handgun by Zero II). I would actually recommend playing the Zero Escape series, it's really good!
@@tiin111 It also demonstrates both the intelligence and the faith of Zero II, because unlike most of the characters in the game, he himself does NOT have the ability to jump between timelines. He basically had to assume that all the different paths would be taken (especially considering many of the paths does include Zero II dying by said nuclear bomb and stuff).
not an entire game, but a level: Vanessa's Manor in A Hat In Time. there is an intentional shortcut that skips over the entire level and leads straight to the room with the time piece. this shortcut was apparently included in the final game because the developers got a lot of commentary about the level length on the beta build, but it's also perfect for people who can't handle horror.
When I first started out, I didn't know you had to press a button to hide, so I just normal crawled under the furniture and died so many times. Had to use the secret exit bc I couldn't figure it out. I eventually found out, but not after having to google how to and using the exit.
The original multiple-ending early completion game: Chrono Trigger! The first play through, you can fight (and get demolished by) Lavos when you reach "The end of Time" which is about half way through. If you have the patience to grind it out, you can kill Lavos at this point. New game + allows you to go fight/kill Lavos at the Fair at the very beginning of the game.
I feel like Myst is the classic example of this, in terms of "if you know the solution, you can go straight to the end." But Outer Wilds also does that as well in a very similar way.
This is going back just a little bit, but I discovered this one myself. When playing the text adventure The Hobbit on the ZX Spectrum, in the start when you're in the hall, if you climb into the chest and try to break it, the game will suddenly jump to the final message. So I finished the game without ever leaving home!
Kidnapped by a plague doctor, taken to a hidden location where he has obviously spent countless hours and expense to build the most devastating death maze he can, he's all dressed up and he asks you to call a coin flip, Anton Chigur style. victim: "It's red" Plague Doctor: "Well then everyone just have a nice day."
What about Golden Sun? After the first dungeon (basically the tutorial) the game tasks you (a young boy) with saving the world and asks if you will do it. Simply say no and the end credits roll ^^°
But it's a bad ending since the world gets destroyed. One of my favorite endings of the type also includes the world being destroyed, but for various story reasons and depending on how you play the main character, from his perspective it IS a good ending, that's why I consider it makes it. Well, at least by concept. It still happens very late in the game and only allows you to skip the last stretch. SPOILER: It's the Julius Ending of Tales of Xillia 2, the only ending in the game that's in-character and worth the adventure, to me, but many people who play the main character in a different way won't agree.
Seriously? Fish are fatal to them? Reminds me of how weird that in Splatoon 1 AND 2, the playable character(s)' species, water it fatal to them, despite them having evolved from sea creatures. If water is fatal to them, then what is those buff drinks you get from Crusty Sean even made out of? Cause, no matter what drink you choose to drink irl, there's always a percentage of it containing water. Even fruitjuice.
@@zigazav1 The water in their universe is incredibly polluted. That's why you're fighting... for the remaining good land. You die entering the water because the oceans are toxic.
@@zigazav1 to be fair to Nier, the main cast are androids. Having 2B eat a fish is a bad idea in the same way that stuffing a halibut into a gaming PC is.
I remember doing that myself. I saw the answer in my uncle's notebook, did the switch flips to get the page, did the fireplace puzzle and boom, beat the game.
I remember in Fallout 3, when you leave the Vault instead of finding out where your Dad is and just go right to where he is you cut out a large chunk of the game
Oh yes I actually do that on purpose. I find out James' location by discreetly killing Moriarty and learning about GNR from his computer. I got there until the plaza is marked on my map and leave it. I then continue following Sophie's (my lone wanderer) natural path as a surviving new surfacer mercenary. Eventually the survival guide quest sends her to Rivet City where Dr Li recognises her and I skip the entire three dog/NGR part of the main story line. I pick up the main quest leading to the lab then Vault 112 though technically you could skip all of that too by walking straight from V101 to V112. The reason why I skip the GNR section is because I absolutely despise how Three Dog blackmails you into doing an incredibly hard and very dangerous assault on a super mutant den. At least if you come to him later he'll offer you the location and stash of a weapon cache for it. I mean Moriarty was vile in demanding 100 or 300 or a low danger job for the info but Three Dog... Unless you're a player who doesn't do much of the main quest first and prefers to do most of the side quests first then you're likely to be an inexperienced 19 year old who has lived in a vault all his/her life and isn't really prepared to go up against a mutie stronghold. Three Dog is leading barely more than a child to his/her likely death. So yeah I refused to let Sophie be blackmailed by this asshole and return to GNR once she's been to Dr Li. I suppose in her case it's not too bad anyway. By this point she's had several weeks as a mercenary doing her best to live out her life after earning a house in Megaton on her first day so she had decent experience. Still unnecessary blackmail is vile and evil.
You can do the same thing in New Vegas. If you just go straight to The Tops from Doc Mitchell's house, you can kill Benny without doing the parts of the story leading up to it
"Of all the things those tests could turn you into... I never expected it would turn you into a quitter." Bruh, the toilet tried to eat my head, I'm out.
I'd just like to point out that the "IV" in that clip from The Witness is actually a securing device to make sure your urinary catheter doesn't get ripped out if you move the wrong way.
The first time I play Zero Time Dilemma, my nephew was watching me and I let him pick the coin toss. He felt really bad that I couldn't play my game because he picked right. I'm not sure if he felt better when I told him I could go back.
Same so here are all 7 games. Prey, Contra: Hard Corps, Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Zero Time Dilemma, Gone Home, Devil May Cry 5, The Witness.
The thing is that by saying "spoiler warning for this game having a secret early ending", you've spoiled that the game has a secret early ending. So obviously you can't put a spoiler warning because it itself is a spoiler
@@chrismanuel9768 While not inaccurate that just giving the game name itself is a spoiler, a spoiler warning would still be appropriate because he shows the alternate ending, as well as explains how to obtain it.
Kind of surprised Two Worlds wasn't on here, since you can end the game in about five minutes by getting a bunch of immortal townspeople to attack the final boss, who's one of your first questgivers.
List idea: 7 Times games took away your key item. Like when you spend a game relying on a certain tool, and then take it away for a little while. Like in Super Mario Sunshine, there's one or two levels where they take FLUDD away and you have to get him back
hurhurhur123 this ending uses information you are supposed to gain during normal gameplay (seeing puzzles everywhere), and the dude in the video is also trying to find puzzles everywhere around the place (it is a meta joke ending which is also canon I think?)
In most of the Disgaea games, you can get alternate endings pretty early. For example in the first game, there's a separate ending for losing to the first boss, and another one you can get at the End of World 3 and a separate one at world 6 or so.
@@zigazav1 Oh yeah. Probably lots of them, but the one I remember was if you beat Usalia in the stage where you're supposed to save her you get an alternate ending.
OMG Gone Home! The first time I played it I thought it was supposed to be a horror game, I spent the entire time thinking it was all just building up to the spooks!
Yup. That game did a masterful job of building up the tension of waiting for the other shoe to drop, and... *VAGUE SPOILER FOR THE ENDING IS STILL SPOILERY SO DON'T SHOW MORE IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED* . . . . . . . . . . . ... the explosion of relief when it turned out everything was alright.
A cousin encouraged me to play it and said there was a ghost in the attic. He also didn't understand the ending, or anything else about the game, just played it for the easy 100%.
In "Monty Python & The Quest for the Holy Grail" for PC, you can win the game on the very first screen after the title sequence by pressing the "Collect the Grail" button. Not only does this win the game for you in a matter of seconds, but is in fact the only way to find the grail. Actually playing through the game leads to a ridiculous non-ending, just like the movie.
This reminds me of the early ending you guys stumbled across in your let's play of "Emily Wants to Play 2". Easily the most sensible ending to a horror game I've ever seen.
I think Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair deserves a shout out on this list. It starts you in the last level and you can finish it whenever you want (as long as you are good enough for a brutal last level)
@@johnvarley4561 Alex and the others say something along the lines of “this isn’t the one, pull the plug, maybe one of the other specimens will do better”, killing Typhon Yu and revealing that it’s a simulation
Actually Kait hadn’t seen the new house yet cause her family moved there after she was already away travelling, but I imagine at least a few people playing the game found the secret door early since a question mark appears when you mouse over it
I love that Andy says "Unhooks an IV" but the guy clearly wasn't having it and instead used a Statlock Urinary catheter securement device on his arm. You thought we wouldn't notice, but we did ;)
That alternate ending is far superior to the "real" ending. IMO that "real" ending is just a pretentious way to say "fuck you player". Or is that "real" ending really just a fake ending and that "alternate" ending is actually the real ending?
Morrowind is also beatable from the start (through breaking the game, classic bethesda) but also has a “actually I want to kill TWO gods” option where if you kill Vivec you can still beat the game through the arguably kinda cooler backdoor method. You also can skip so much of the story this way so it can allow you to beat the game earlier than intended
Prey's escape exit is neither an early ending nor one you'll feel good about. It's more like an insta-kill that will result in no less than 3 characters disappointed in your antics... not unlike dying by sticking your finger in an electrical socket. Way to go Morgan Yu.
Do a “7 video game choices that don’t effect the story no matter what” if you haven’t. I know quite a few games where despite the game giving you a choice, no matter which one you pick results in the exact same outcome
Chrono Trigger 13 endings (16 counting slight changes) one of them is called : The Dream Project. You can beat the final boss after meeting the Time Guru, or at the start when you take the other teleport pod at the fair on new game +.
Furi has a fun surprise example of this. Exactly halfway through the game, when you reach the sixth of ten bosses, she doesn't want to fight you and begs you to give up on escaping Space Jail and just chill in her garden forever with her and be besties. There's no "Say Yes" button or any obvious spot to stand on to agree to such an unexpected offer, while there is a spot to stand on to start the fight, so it's easy to assume you can't actually agree. But if you stand in the room and don't do anything at all, after 5-10 minutes, a cutscene pops. You accept her offer, the credits roll, and the game is considered over. You have to start over if you want to actually see the rest of it.
The End Is Nigh should have made it on this list. There is a mini game right at the beginning of the game and if you beat it, you can end the game early. Heck, there's even an achievement for it!
You know what's different about outsidexbox? They have this feeling like you're just watching TV. The good old days where I watch quake tournas when I don't even know what's happening but it gets me excited. The way they produce content is different. Brings back memories
You know what I love about the Devil May Cry 5 entry? 1) that it actually made it onto this list since it's perfect for it, 2) that it makes you work really hard for it only so that you can feel bad if you've already finished the game before doing it, and 3) that is you're super up on the lore by this point, you realize that the game is messing with you because despite the fact that it says "happily ever after" it's *still* the worst ending due to the lore because *wow* is It messed up! Also, your description of Urizen is hilarious, and only gets funnier the further you get into the game, so thank you for that hahaha! Thanks for covering my favorite game, Andy. Really made my day!
How about Chrono Trigger? In New Game Plus mode, you can skip nearly the *entirety* of the game and face off against the Last Boss basically immediately? IIRC, you can trigger a red portal directly to Lavos, rather than letting Marle get sucked through time!
After a point, I had to be careful in Zeal, when fighting the much stronger (compared to the 1999 one) Lavos shell, not to accidentally beat Lavos. If one does, it takes them to the same ending zone as if they have fought him at the Millennium Fair.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the fact that you can beat Urizen in DMC5 is put in the game so that experienced players can unlock higher difficulties quicker. If you beat him, you can play on the higher difficulties without having to play through the whole game on normal first. So it's not just for funnsies.
I've actually beaten him, and I can't recall if it unlocked another difficulty. Wasn't paying attention since I was working on S Ranking the whole game for the achievements lol! I have to go back and check somehow!
@@skvaderarts7009 I love the game but I'm really bad at it. Never got to beat him. But I heard a lot of other players say that and it does make sense. You have tecnically beaten the game on that difficulty.
@@matman000000 Or Merchant Serreth (forgot how to spell his name) from Dust: An Elysian Tail, who's also a reference to RE4's shady merchant. His first words in the game when you come to shop at his place, is the exact lines RE4's shady merchant says as his most well-known line. Fun fact, Merchant Serreth is voiced by the current voice actor for the Smash Bros Annnouncer, as well as some other characters in Smash Bros.
There are 2 that come to mind: Myst: You can flip the switches on the first island and if you know the fireplace solution, get to the ending in about 5 minutes. Chrono Trigger: You face the last boss early on to show how strong he is, its possible to kill him in that initial fight in new game +.
They covered it in more than one list feature in both OX channels, same with FC5 & Joseph Seed. That's why Andy recapped the ones they've previously covered at the start of this vid, which was a smart idea!
@@narcspector Yes - along with highlighting that it didn't technically fix the problems in Kyrat (though arguably you don't in the main game either, but that's more a commentary on how nihilistic the themes of Far Cry are (which is why I stopped playing the series - I love the mechanics, but when I keep feeling like things would have been better if I had done nothing after playing their games, I'm...not gonna play their games)).
I haven’t done this in over 30 years so the details might be a little off. In the C64 version of Bards Tale 2, if you loaded up the game, then put a blank disk into the drive you would get access to every item in the game, including the 7 pieces of the staff you had to find to access the last boss.
I spoiled the ending for Prey for my self by doing that mid way escape. By the things that was shown in that escape version, I knew what the ending was going to be.
I loved Silent Hill's "Alien Ending" which allowed you to finish the game early by using a Channeling Stone at key locations in the game to make contact with aliens that abduct you and let the credits roll.
Hope it not a spoiler, I'm just now working through it in the SERIES X|S Special Edition, it's so good. Even tho I still feel like I'm playing it wrong. I'm not dying or anything (it's pretty easy on "HUMAN", I just can't get any SSS Ranks. I got one S Rank so far.

Time hallow: it's a game about finding a magical pen that enables you to open portals to the past and change the time line. At the start of the game you go outside and meet a mysterious guy, you get two dialogue options. One that says you know the guy, and one that says you don't. If you say you do know the guy, with some time travelling/alternate timeline malarkey the protagonist reveals that they know all the events that are going to unfold and so can stop this mysterious guy (the antagonist) before the game really begins
In Chrono Trigger, if you beat Lavos in the Ocean Palace when you're not supposed to, you can finish the game and get a secret ending where you can talk to the developers. But that's not all! If you are in New Game +, you can enter the right telepod at the very beginning of the game, beat Lavos, and get the same ending.

Me too. One of the last quests I did in skyrim was the main one.
In Witch's House, depending on your definition of time-consuming, you can win just by not entering the house. The witch's legs were chopped off, so if you wait an hour, she bleeds to death.
Well, I mean, you say (spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler) so in a way it's not really (spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler) crying.
...Witch's House was a good game, especially for an RPG Maker game so reliant on instakills. Excellent atmosphere. Good story. I liked it.
@@Patrick-Phelan getting jumpscared and running in panic to the nearest door is my memory of the game. Loved it.
Actually you are the witch she used a body switch but before doing it she Injured herself in the worst way possible

I remember Farcry 4 where you just wait for Pagan Min to finish his phone call at the beginning of the game. Afterwards your patience is rewarded. He takes you to spread your mother's ashes, game over, roll credits. You win!
Yes exactly!
And technically you liberated Kyrat too, as Pagan's only goal was to pass the ownership to Ajay. Unlike Farcry 5's ending where it doesn't work as Rook literally fails their only objective.
You can do the same in far cry 5 if you don’t arrest father at the beginning of the game
I find that ending stupid, I wanted to fight those aspiring dictators by siding with an actual one.
@@thanatosvorigan4986 Well, considering Far Cry 5's endings boil down to a choice between getting a nuke dropped on you or being brainwashed, I feel like the secret ending, where you decide that arresting a cult leader, in the middle of his own compound, while you're woefully out gunned, is a stupid idea, and leave, to presumably call the god damn army, is probably the best choice
1:05 I love that clip where you step out of the apartment, see that things have gone horribly wrong, and just go back inside and shut the door.😂
You can finish We Happy Few in a matter of seconds by simply taking your Joy
Well thats what dantdm did
Jeez i can't believe anyone but me has even heard of this game
How about Nier: Automata where you can just turn around and run back to the start of the first level and get a letter designated ending
Or, even better, the cheat code that can be entered by standing in a specific spot right after first encountering 9s in the prologue, and entering a series of inputs that, when done correctly, skips you right to the end of ending E? was only just found like two weeks ago, but definitely seems worthy of a list like this, considering Yoko Taro confirmed that indeed was the game's "final secret".
@@cjv1128 was hoping someone would mention this
@@cjv1128 yeah the one that literally just got found like a week or so back, I read that article too lol. You stand between some boxes and press a bunch of buttons. I think it's supposed to be some weird pun on 2B, like "Between 2 Boxes" or something, but that's just a random theory, who knows what that madman is up to lol. They did Lists on more than one occasion mentioning NieR Automata and how you can commit suicide with the OS Chip, I'm sure they've probably covered the "letter designated ending" that @Zeta mentioned. I don't think _I_ even know about that though, so maybe not🤔
All's I knows is, I need me some NieR REPLICANT!!
Yeah, the Broken Wings ending
@@cjv1128 If it was found 2 weeks ago, that's probably why it wasn't on the list. I think they take a while writing scripts and getting footage.
Actually, while you are assured to win the coin toss in ZTD the first time, you're guaranteed to lose it on all subsequent times. The point of the ending where you win it the first time does not become clear until the very end of the game.
Probably won’t play the game so why ? Would love an explanation
@@thewateringwiz7118 Well the entire franchise is built around the Idea of mental time travel and universe hoping (don't ask for a detailed explanation, we'd be here all day). Long story short each game has multiple paths that change the flow of the story greatly and every path has a different ending, every ending by the way, is canon. This is because the main characters that you control (plus 3 other characters) are able to move through the story branches at will (Ex; You get a password in path A, But the door is only there in path B, and the main characters are aware of this). The reason why Zero II (the plague doctor) rigged the coin toss at the beginning was basically an "escape root" for the players at the very end, because once all 9 players figured out and beat the Decision Game, their prize was some knowledge relevant to the plot and an active nuclear bomb set to blow in 30 seconds, forcing all the players to mentally jump back to the rigged coin toss where they were allowed to leave. The reason was so they could still have gone through the hellish events of the game, but Zero II's hands in that timeline would technically be clean (although he does give Carlos one final choice to kill him, we don't see the result because it smashes to black as Carlos is given a handgun by Zero II). I would actually recommend playing the Zero Escape series, it's really good!
@@thewateringwiz7118 i would recommend the games as well, they are mind fuck gold
@@tiin111 It also demonstrates both the intelligence and the faith of Zero II, because unlike most of the characters in the game, he himself does NOT have the ability to jump between timelines. He basically had to assume that all the different paths would be taken (especially considering many of the paths does include Zero II dying by said nuclear bomb and stuff).
not an entire game, but a level: Vanessa's Manor in A Hat In Time. there is an intentional shortcut that skips over the entire level and leads straight to the room with the time piece. this shortcut was apparently included in the final game because the developers got a lot of commentary about the level length on the beta build, but it's also perfect for people who can't handle horror.
I tried to go through that level the normal way on my second run. I got killed and left, the abusive yandere is SCARY.
Oh, so me.
When I first started out, I didn't know you had to press a button to hide, so I just normal crawled under the furniture and died so many times. Had to use the secret exit bc I couldn't figure it out. I eventually found out, but not after having to google how to and using the exit.
I thought this was gonna be a video of cool speedrun tricks but this is actually a much better concept
You just be new here, welcome to the best channel on TH-cam lol
Yep. Just so you know, the coffee maker in the club house is always out of order.
I think you mean 'glitched speed runs', and nothing is more uncool than glitching a major part of the game away🤮
I like games that give you an option to win early if you are in fact just that good.
The original multiple-ending early completion game: Chrono Trigger! The first play through, you can fight (and get demolished by) Lavos when you reach "The end of Time" which is about half way through. If you have the patience to grind it out, you can kill Lavos at this point. New game + allows you to go fight/kill Lavos at the Fair at the very beginning of the game.
I had to scroll down way too far to see Chrono Trigger mentioned. I was shocked it wasn't in the video.
I feel like Myst is the classic example of this, in terms of "if you know the solution, you can go straight to the end." But Outer Wilds also does that as well in a very similar way.
This is going back just a little bit, but I discovered this one myself. When playing the text adventure The Hobbit on the ZX Spectrum, in the start when you're in the hall, if you climb into the chest and try to break it, the game will suddenly jump to the final message. So I finished the game without ever leaving home!
Kidnapped by a plague doctor, taken to a hidden location where he has obviously spent countless hours and expense to build the most devastating death maze he can, he's all dressed up and he asks you to call a coin flip, Anton Chigur style.
victim: "It's red"
Plague Doctor: "Well then everyone just have a nice day."
I love how considerate this plague doctor is. They must have had zero doubts.
theres always the next group!
What about Golden Sun? After the first dungeon (basically the tutorial) the game tasks you (a young boy) with saving the world and asks if you will do it. Simply say no and the end credits roll ^^°
Was looking for this to see if I had to add it.
But it's a bad ending since the world gets destroyed.
One of my favorite endings of the type also includes the world being destroyed, but for various story reasons and depending on how you play the main character, from his perspective it IS a good ending, that's why I consider it makes it. Well, at least by concept. It still happens very late in the game and only allows you to skip the last stretch.
SPOILER:
It's the Julius Ending of Tales of Xillia 2, the only ending in the game that's in-character and worth the adventure, to me, but many people who play the main character in a different way won't agree.
Nier Automata had alot of abrupt joke endings, like removing your OS chip in your inventory, or Self Destructing in the YORHA base, or eating a Fish.
Seriously? Fish are fatal to them? Reminds me of how weird that in Splatoon 1 AND 2, the playable character(s)' species, water it fatal to them, despite them having evolved from sea creatures. If water is fatal to them, then what is those buff drinks you get from Crusty Sean even made out of? Cause, no matter what drink you choose to drink irl, there's always a percentage of it containing water. Even fruitjuice.
@@zigazav1 The water in their universe is incredibly polluted. That's why you're fighting... for the remaining good land. You die entering the water because the oceans are toxic.
@@zigazav1 to be fair to Nier, the main cast are androids. Having 2B eat a fish is a bad idea in the same way that stuffing a halibut into a gaming PC is.
@@zigazav1 It was more the fish were very oily and it clogged up their inner workings if they ate one.
@@chrismanuel9768 is this canon or a theory?
no myst? if u know the fireplace combination and the place of the hidden white page u can get the best ending in less then a minute...
I remember showing that to someone who had not beaten it and had been trying for weeks
There we go. Was looking for this comment before adding it myself.
And the best part of that one is it's impossible to get by luck, so you can only do it if you or a friend has beaten the game before.
Good call. I was wondering where Myst was at, too.
I remember doing that myself. I saw the answer in my uncle's notebook, did the switch flips to get the page, did the fireplace puzzle and boom, beat the game.
I remember in Fallout 3, when you leave the Vault instead of finding out where your Dad is and just go right to where he is you cut out a large chunk of the game
Oh yes I actually do that on purpose. I find out James' location by discreetly killing Moriarty and learning about GNR from his computer. I got there until the plaza is marked on my map and leave it.
I then continue following Sophie's (my lone wanderer) natural path as a surviving new surfacer mercenary. Eventually the survival guide quest sends her to Rivet City where Dr Li recognises her and I skip the entire three dog/NGR part of the main story line. I pick up the main quest leading to the lab then Vault 112 though technically you could skip all of that too by walking straight from V101 to V112.
The reason why I skip the GNR section is because I absolutely despise how Three Dog blackmails you into doing an incredibly hard and very dangerous assault on a super mutant den. At least if you come to him later he'll offer you the location and stash of a weapon cache for it. I mean Moriarty was vile in demanding 100 or 300 or a low danger job for the info but Three Dog...
Unless you're a player who doesn't do much of the main quest first and prefers to do most of the side quests first then you're likely to be an inexperienced 19 year old who has lived in a vault all his/her life and isn't really prepared to go up against a mutie stronghold. Three Dog is leading barely more than a child to his/her likely death.
So yeah I refused to let Sophie be blackmailed by this asshole and return to GNR once she's been to Dr Li. I suppose in her case it's not too bad anyway. By this point she's had several weeks as a mercenary doing her best to live out her life after earning a house in Megaton on her first day so she had decent experience. Still unnecessary blackmail is vile and evil.
You can do the same thing in New Vegas. If you just go straight to The Tops from Doc Mitchell's house, you can kill Benny without doing the parts of the story leading up to it

Welcome to the best gaming channel on TH-cam 😉
I'd just like to point out that the "IV" in that clip from The Witness is actually a securing device to make sure your urinary catheter doesn't get ripped out if you move the wrong way.
The first time I play Zero Time Dilemma, my nephew was watching me and I let him pick the coin toss. He felt really bad that I couldn't play my game because he picked right. I'm not sure if he felt better when I told him I could go back.
The one video about secret endings doesn’t have a spoiler warning.... I don’t trust it
Same so here are all 7 games.
Prey,
Contra: Hard Corps,
Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild,
Zero Time Dilemma,
Gone Home,
Devil May Cry 5,
The Witness.
The thing is that by saying "spoiler warning for this game having a secret early ending", you've spoiled that the game has a secret early ending. So obviously you can't put a spoiler warning because it itself is a spoiler
@@chrismanuel9768 Yep basically subject like this you'll be Wrong either way because the Answer is neither of the Two.
"The following games have a secret ending" doesn't really help keep you from being spoiled about the existence of their secret endings...
@@chrismanuel9768 While not inaccurate that just giving the game name itself is a spoiler, a spoiler warning would still be appropriate because he shows the alternate ending, as well as explains how to obtain it.
Kind of surprised Two Worlds wasn't on here, since you can end the game in about five minutes by getting a bunch of immortal townspeople to attack the final boss, who's one of your first questgivers.
They have covered that game before so maybe it would have felt like redundancy to cover it again.
List idea: 7 Times games took away your key item.
Like when you spend a game relying on a certain tool, and then take it away for a little while. Like in Super Mario Sunshine, there's one or two levels where they take FLUDD away and you have to get him back
Omgs, Yes!

hurhurhur123 this ending uses information you are supposed to gain during normal gameplay (seeing puzzles everywhere), and the dude in the video is also trying to find puzzles everywhere around the place (it is a meta joke ending which is also canon I think?)
"Ganon fodder" is a flipping excellent pun I salute you
In most of the Disgaea games, you can get alternate endings pretty early. For example in the first game, there's a separate ending for losing to the first boss, and another one you can get at the End of World 3 and a separate one at world 6 or so.
What about Disgaea 5? Does that have a secret ending?
@@zigazav1 Oh yeah. Probably lots of them, but the one I remember was if you beat Usalia in the stage where you're supposed to save her you get an alternate ending.

In "Monty Python & The Quest for the Holy Grail" for PC, you can win the game on the very first screen after the title sequence by pressing the "Collect the Grail" button. Not only does this win the game for you in a matter of seconds, but is in fact the only way to find the grail. Actually playing through the game leads to a ridiculous non-ending, just like the movie.
My canonical ending to Far Cry 5 is the shortcut
This reminds me of the early ending you guys stumbled across in your let's play of "Emily Wants to Play 2". Easily the most sensible ending to a horror game I've ever seen.
I was going to mention that. When Andy just noped out is my favorite part of that video.
I think Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair deserves a shout out on this list. It starts you in the last level and you can finish it whenever you want (as long as you are good enough for a brutal last level)
Don’t do the “Escape Talos 1” ending first in Prey. It will spoil the major twist of the game and will only end up with you dead.
It spoiled it for me..
Could you elaborate? I don't remember it spoiling anything for me.
Amazing game either way
@@johnvarley4561 it spoils the fact it’s a simulation
@@reaperofthings how so?
@@johnvarley4561 Alex and the others say something along the lines of “this isn’t the one, pull the plug, maybe one of the other specimens will do better”, killing Typhon Yu and revealing that it’s a simulation

The Gone Home one makes a lot of sense- I mean it is your home, presumably you would know about the secret door already.
Actually Kait hadn’t seen the new house yet cause her family moved there after she was already away travelling, but I imagine at least a few people playing the game found the secret door early since a question mark appears when you mouse over it
"Skip to the end and make things worse" shows clip of far cry 5.
Did you not listen to Ellen on the other channel, like, an hour ago?
But the way that guy is just like "theres more fish in the sea"
What about it?
Peak sociopath.
I love that Andy says "Unhooks an IV" but the guy clearly wasn't having it and instead used a Statlock Urinary catheter securement device on his arm. You thought we wouldn't notice, but we did ;)
That Witness ending is surreal and amazing
That alternate ending is far superior to the "real" ending. IMO that "real" ending is just a pretentious way to say "fuck you player".
Or is that "real" ending really just a fake ending and that "alternate" ending is actually the real ending?
.... That game ENDS?! I thought it just continues forever trapping you in a Russian doll of never ending puzzles.
Alternative title: "7 games in which you wasted your time like a chump when there was a much quicker way to finish it. You fool!"
Morrowind is also beatable from the start (through breaking the game, classic bethesda) but also has a “actually I want to kill TWO gods” option where if you kill Vivec you can still beat the game through the arguably kinda cooler backdoor method. You also can skip so much of the story this way so it can allow you to beat the game earlier than intended
The plus side to this ending is - while I love Vivec deeply, he more than probably deserved it.
Prey's escape exit is neither an early ending nor one you'll feel good about. It's more like an insta-kill that will result in no less than 3 characters disappointed in your antics... not unlike dying by sticking your finger in an electrical socket.
Way to go Morgan Yu.
Do a “7 video game choices that don’t effect the story no matter what” if you haven’t. I know quite a few games where despite the game giving you a choice, no matter which one you pick results in the exact same outcome
Didn't know the DMC5 final boss was a Technical Death Metal album artwork..
The thought of not 100% a game before ending it confuses and enrages me.
Chrono Trigger 13 endings (16 counting slight changes) one of them is called : The Dream Project. You can beat the final boss after meeting the Time Guru, or at the start when you take the other teleport pod at the fair on new game +.
Yep, and if you are strong enough you can solo the final boss as just Crono

Literally all games when you die: "Game over!"
That counts as finishing the game early, right?
Furi has a fun surprise example of this. Exactly halfway through the game, when you reach the sixth of ten bosses, she doesn't want to fight you and begs you to give up on escaping Space Jail and just chill in her garden forever with her and be besties. There's no "Say Yes" button or any obvious spot to stand on to agree to such an unexpected offer, while there is a spot to stand on to start the fight, so it's easy to assume you can't actually agree. But if you stand in the room and don't do anything at all, after 5-10 minutes, a cutscene pops. You accept her offer, the credits roll, and the game is considered over. You have to start over if you want to actually see the rest of it.
The End Is Nigh should have made it on this list. There is a mini game right at the beginning of the game and if you beat it, you can end the game early. Heck, there's even an achievement for it!
You know what's different about outsidexbox? They have this feeling like you're just watching TV. The good old days where I watch quake tournas when I don't even know what's happening but it gets me excited. The way they produce content is different. Brings back memories
I mean, if you know what to do in Outer Wilds, you can win the game in a single cycle. There’s even a trophy for it.
You know what I love about the Devil May Cry 5 entry? 1) that it actually made it onto this list since it's perfect for it, 2) that it makes you work really hard for it only so that you can feel bad if you've already finished the game before doing it, and 3) that is you're super up on the lore by this point, you realize that the game is messing with you because despite the fact that it says "happily ever after" it's *still* the worst ending due to the lore because *wow* is It messed up!
Also, your description of Urizen is hilarious, and only gets funnier the further you get into the game, so thank you for that hahaha!
Thanks for covering my favorite game, Andy. Really made my day!
What about Planescape: Torment? With enough charisma, you can become king of the catacombs only a few hours into the game.
How about Chrono Trigger? In New Game Plus mode, you can skip nearly the *entirety* of the game and face off against the Last Boss basically immediately? IIRC, you can trigger a red portal directly to Lavos, rather than letting Marle get sucked through time!
Definitely missed the epic battle in Chrono Trigger. I still want to be able to one day beat it myself.
After a point, I had to be careful in Zeal, when fighting the much stronger (compared to the 1999 one) Lavos shell, not to accidentally beat Lavos. If one does, it takes them to the same ending zone as if they have fought him at the Millennium Fair.
I love that Gone Home has a trophy for doing exactly what Andy describes; beating the game in less than a minute.
On Zelda I threw a stick at the boss and ran away
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the fact that you can beat Urizen in DMC5 is put in the game so that experienced players can unlock higher difficulties quicker. If you beat him, you can play on the higher difficulties without having to play through the whole game on normal first. So it's not just for funnsies.
I've actually beaten him, and I can't recall if it unlocked another difficulty. Wasn't paying attention since I was working on S Ranking the whole game for the achievements lol! I have to go back and check somehow!
@@skvaderarts7009 I love the game but I'm really bad at it. Never got to beat him. But I heard a lot of other players say that and it does make sense. You have tecnically beaten the game on that difficulty.
list idea: creepy characters who were actually good guys think frampt/kaathe from dark souls.
Frampt wasnt really a good guy. He forced you to extend the age of fire which was going to end regardless and only caused more problems
I have had this comment before and thats why I included kaathe besides if you let the fire go out frampt will join you.

The janitor (forgot his name) from Life Is Strange
@@matman000000 Or Merchant Serreth (forgot how to spell his name) from Dust: An Elysian Tail, who's also a reference to RE4's shady merchant.

Fun fact, Merchant Serreth is voiced by the current voice actor for the Smash Bros Annnouncer, as well as some other characters in Smash Bros.
There are 2 that come to mind:
Myst: You can flip the switches on the first island and if you know the fireplace solution, get to the ending in about 5 minutes.
Chrono Trigger: You face the last boss early on to show how strong he is, its possible to kill him in that initial fight in new game +.
Speedrunners have Myst down to less than a minute.
Far Cry 4? If you just sit there and wait for Pagan Min
That's my favorite. First time I saw it I decided it was canon to me.
They covered it in more than one list feature in both OX channels, same with FC5 & Joseph Seed. That's why Andy recapped the ones they've previously covered at the start of this vid, which was a smart idea!
@@narcspector Yes - along with highlighting that it didn't technically fix the problems in Kyrat (though arguably you don't in the main game either, but that's more a commentary on how nihilistic the themes of Far Cry are (which is why I stopped playing the series - I love the mechanics, but when I keep feeling like things would have been better if I had done nothing after playing their games, I'm...not gonna play their games)).
The House in The Witness is actually really nice. I would live to live there.
No honorable mention of Myst? Get the white page and be done in five minutes.
The Gone Home duck-assisted speed run was just so delightful.
There's Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair...
You can do it whenever you want, buuuut it's kinda "impossible" to do it at first.
I haven’t done this in over 30 years so the details might be a little off. In the C64 version of Bards Tale 2, if you loaded up the game, then put a blank disk into the drive you would get access to every item in the game, including the 7 pieces of the staff you had to find to access the last boss.
What about the Death Road of Despair in Danganronpa 3? You practically skip the entire game if you manage to get through the 2D platform minigame!
In Prey you don't even need to extend the bridge. It's possible to make a path with the gloo gun. Best gun ever.
I spoiled the ending for Prey for my self by doing that mid way escape. By the things that was shown in that escape version, I knew what the ending was going to be.
I loved Silent Hill's "Alien Ending" which allowed you to finish the game early by using a Channeling Stone at key locations in the game to make contact with aliens that abduct you and let the credits roll.
Glad to see devil may cry 5 on here😁
Hope it not a spoiler, I'm just now working through it in the SERIES X|S Special Edition, it's so good. Even tho I still feel like I'm playing it wrong. I'm not dying or anything (it's pretty easy on "HUMAN", I just can't get any SSS Ranks. I got one S Rank so far. To be fair, I'm literally just about to do the part where you find Nero's naked GF (if memory serves) in a monster or whatever, which is not far at all.
@@narcspector If you need some tips on what to do and how to get S ranks, I'd be happy to help. And believe me, you're not that far in. Don't stress yourself lol! Just enjoy It for now and worry about your rank later since you can go back and do them later. I'm here to help if you need it!
Same, DMC is perfect for like half of their videos, but it comes up so rarely!
Time hallow: it's a game about finding a magical pen that enables you to open portals to the past and change the time line. At the start of the game you go outside and meet a mysterious guy, you get two dialogue options. One that says you know the guy, and one that says you don't. If you say you do know the guy, with some time travelling/alternate timeline malarkey the protagonist reveals that they know all the events that are going to unfold and so can stop this mysterious guy (the antagonist) before the game really begins
What about Outer Wilds? You can get to the ending in like 5 minutes if you know how to get there
In Chrono Trigger, if you beat Lavos in the Ocean Palace when you're not supposed to, you can finish the game and get a secret ending where you can talk to the developers. But that's not all! If you are in New Game +, you can enter the right telepod at the very beginning of the game, beat Lavos, and get the same ending.
Wait... That is NOT the true ending of The Witness? I thought it was some super short indie experiment
3:12 I forgot how dope that opening was
Thanks for this!
