To form a strong relationship with Amalek, you must generally avoid reading his mind. If you want to form a romantic relationship with him, choose gullible as one of your character traits at the beginning of the game. Similarly, if you chose short-tempered instead, you will lose extra points with him throughout the story.

Relationship factors:

  • When you reunite with Amalek in Chapter 2, you must have only looked at his mind less than 6 times; then you will tell him the Prototype’s purpose
  • Do NOT Dive Deeper into his mind for the Vandorfin coordinates
  • In the scene where you choose whether to Dive Deeper into his mind: if you resist Diving Deeply, if you told him about the Prototype previously, if you have used the Void less than 30 times overall, and if your relationship with Amalek is higher than 60 points, you will tell him that you have the ability to read minds
  • After he asks you not to read his mind, obey his wishes
  • If you chose “gullible” as one of your character traits at the beginning of the game and follow the steps above, you will kiss Amalek

Life or death:

  • Amalek will live or die depending on when you realize he’s in danger. During the second mission to Teballai, after you climb down the Q’s palace with Mierol, read his mind as soon as you can. Mierol will have time to bandage his wounds. Either way they will think that he’s dead, but if you bandaged his wounds early enough, you might see him again in the Epilogue (Endings 1, 2, or 3)

Enemies:

  • Your relationship with Amalek can take a turn for the worse if you read his mind often enough. If you pull the Vandorfin coordinates from his mind and keep reading his mind in the scenes afterward, you might say something you shouldn’t, and Amalek will know you betrayed him

Ending 4: Viva Veramus

In this ending, you choose to team up with Veramus. You keep the power of the Quantum Conscience project and forsake both the FOEs and ARCHON to run away with Veramus. To achieve this outcome, you must use the Void frequently, even if you betray your teammates by doing so.

Necessary choices:

  • Read the Vandorfin coordinates in Amalek’s mind when the Shadow asks you to
  • Read the minds of your teammates on the second mission to Teballai
  • When you are being held captive in the brig, choose Veramus to help you get out
  • When Veramus asks you to look up the number in his head, you must do so; you must also be able to break all the way into his mind and Dive Deeper to see the correct number

Variations within this ending:

  • If Mierol is still with you through the ending and you’ve formed a romantic relationship with her, then you will become a ménage à trois

Ending 3: Lost and Confused

This is the default ending if you do not meet the criteria of Endings 1, 2, or 4.

Variations within this ending:

  • If you use the Void rarely and form a good relationship with Korah, you will destroy the QC machine. Otherwise, you choose to keep your power
  • You will reunite with Amalek in the Epilogue if you previously saved his life and if he doesn’t suspect you of betraying him

Ending 2: Careful Calculation

In this ending, you destroy the Quantum Conscience project, but you choose to keep working with Veramus to aid Teballai. To achieve this outcome, you can use the Void to read people’s thoughts occasionally, but you must avoid using it to betray your teammates.

Necessary choices:

  • Do NOT read the Vandorfin coordinates in Amalek’s mind when the Shadow asks you to
  • Do NOT read the minds of your teammates on the second mission to Teballai
  • When you are being held captive in the brig, choose Veramus to help you get out
  • You must read/attempt to read Veramus’s mind frequently enough to see his thoughts by the time you reach Ludebba. When he pulls you aside to talk to you, you will get a chance to Dive Deeply into his mind. Do it
  • When Veramus asks you to look up the number in his head, you must do so; you must also be able to break all the way into his mind and Dive Deeper

Variations within this ending:

  • You may keep Mierol with you and still get this ending
  • You will reunite with Amalek in the Epilogue if you previously saved his life

Veramus Death

Ending 1: FOE Forever

In this ending, you remain loyal to the FOEs and destroy the Quantum Conscience project. To achieve this outcome, you must generally avoid reading minds, especially Korah’s, Crain’s, or Amalek’s.

  • Generally avoid reading people’s minds
  • Do NOT kill Crain
  • Form a strong relationship with Korah. When you are being held captive in the brig, choose her as your partner to help you get out
  • When Veramus demands that you search his mind for a number, do NOT look into his thoughts at all

Variations within this ending:

  • You may keep Mierol with you and still get this ending. However, if you do, she will kill Veramus
  • You will reunite with Amalek in the Epilogue if you previously saved his life
