Dream No More Ending Requirements
The Twisted Child ending shares early and mid-game requirements with the normal ending, but demands additional item collection. This ending involves a curse that significantly increases the difficulty of the final boss fight, removing the ability to heal or use tools.
To achieve the Twisted Child ending, follow these steps:
- Proceed through the Whispering Vaults and take the right pathway leading to a huge vertical drop into Bilewater.
- From Bilewater, follow the left path upon entering the zone, then break into the pathways and double back towards the sound of a baby crying.
- Obtain the Twisted Bud from a cradle.
- Take the Twisted Bud to Greyroot in Shellwood and hand it over.
- Speak to Greyroot again to become cursed. This initiates the Rite of Rebirth Wish, which you should not complete.
- Defeat the Grand Mother Silk boss while cursed. The curse prevents healing and tool usage, making this a hard mode version of the normal playthrough.
It is recommended to pursue the Twisted Bud objectives only after completing the mid and late-game main story objectives, as the curse will persist for the remainder of the main quest.
