Endings
Match the live chapter state to a Lavos route and record every timeline you unlock.
Ways to reach Lavos
- Right Telepod sparkle: New Game+ shortcut available at the Millennial Fair; it supports the earliest ending windows.
- End of Time bucket: direct Lavos route after the End of Time opens.
- Black Omen / Ocean Palace route: resolves Queen Zeal before Lavos.
- Epoch to 1999 A.D.: crashes the Epoch through Lavos's shell, skipping the outer boss-repeat phase but changing the ordinary ending.
