Resident Evil Requiem Ending Explained: The Good and The Bad

Decisions, Decisions

So, you’ve reached the nail-biting finale of Resident Evil Requiem, but wait—before you charge ahead, you’ve got a doozy of a choice to make! As Grace, you’ll either be swayed by Leon’s charming yelling or you’ll have to trust your own instincts. Here’s the scoop on what happens with both endings.

Good Ending vs. Bad Ending: The Breakdown

Alright, spoiler alert: there’s a good ending and a bad ending in this rollercoaster ride of a game. If you’re after the good ending where everyone gets a happy meal at the end, it’s all about releasing Elpis. But hey, if you’re curious about the dark side, stick around because we’ll walk you through both paths!

First up, if you decide to destroy Elpis (cue dramatic music), things get messy. The ARK goes boom, taking Leon and Zeno with it, and spoiler, Leon doesn’t make it out alive. In this tragic ending, Grace mournfully wishes she could have saved him, and it’s all curtains from there.

Now let’s chat about that happy-ending scenario! If you’re brave enough to put in the magic password to release Elpis, Grace unleashes an antivirus stored away by a guilty Oswell Spencer. Fun twist: Zeno, thinking he’s found the fountain of youth or something, injects himself with it—only to find it cures him instead of turning him into a super villain.

But wait, there’s more! Just when you think things couldn’t get worse, Dr. Gideon crashes the party, and let’s just say his plans are about as cheery as a rainy day. He gets a little Savage Beast mode on everyone, leading to an epic boss showdown that would make any gamer sweat. Slice and dice that mutant form, and don’t forget, Grace hands Leon the antivirus, which he thankfully uses to save himself too! Cue the confetti!

But hold your horses! Just when it looks like they might be toast, BSAA agents swoop in like superheroes in disguise. It turns out Chris Redfield is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Before the credits roll, Leon gives Sherry the 411 that he’s got the antivirus for her too, probably while flexing his health hero muscles.

And a little cherry on top? Leon tells Grace she should feel hopeful because when he shot her zombie form, he didn’t hit anything vital. Will there be a sequel? Who knows! But this team’s triumph will definitely resurface in the chatter across the gaming universe.

Now that you’re armed with knowledge of both endings, if you’re itching to dive back in for a replay, get ready to experience the thrill again, starting with New Game Plus, and all the juicy rewards and achievements waiting for you!
