Endacopia Walkthrough
Quick Answer
For a clean Endacopia completion route, play through the opening and Chapter I normally, save before the Saw Box code 471, branch Toy Saw for Ending A, reload for the real Saw Ending B, then use a Chapter I backup to complete the three hidden secrets for Ending C.
Critical Save Points
| Save Point | Why It Matters | Related Page |
|---|---|---|
| Before Saw Box 471 | Branches Ending A and Ending B through Toy Saw vs working Saw. | All endings |
| Late Chapter I, before bosses | Lets you trigger the Misery Town, Timesville, and Office secrets for Ending C. | Secret ending |
| Before Chameleon fight | Lets you intentionally die once for Fatal Performance before winning for A Monumental Finale. | Achievements |
Opening Route
- Complete the first puzzle. This unlocks First Day Of A New Age.
- Inspect optional media. Seeing the car commercial is tied to What's It Mean?
- Track early unusual objects. Optional discoveries can feed later achievement cleanup, especially easter eggs.
Chapter I Route
Chapter I is the most important chapter for secret-route preparation. Do a normal route first, but keep notes and a backup before resolving the major area bosses.
| Area | Main Progress | Secret / Achievement Watch |
|---|---|---|
| Office / Core | Acquire George's Cog and defeat the Core for System Override. | Office secret uses the Telescope, Jobs app phone call, vending-machine wait, and symbol sequence. |
| Misery Town | Progress toward Snake Oil and the area boss route. | Bring the Metal Detector to the cinema and follow the remote/map/checkerboard route. |
| Timesville | Complete the investigation route and area progress. | Use the Metal Detector, catch 18 unique fish, then use the monochrome shack key. |
Chapter II Route
Chapter II contains a boss loop and several mechanically different encounters. Treat each encounter as a standalone puzzle: identify the pattern, survive the gimmick, and record any death or optional achievement before winning.
- Prepare for repeated boss formats. Source walkthroughs describe distinct mini-games and pattern checks across this chapter.
- Do not skip deaths if you are achievement hunting. Some achievements require failure in a specific fight, so check the achievements page before pushing past a boss permanently.
- Keep one clean route save. You will need stable progress for the saw branch later.
Chapter III Route
- Reach the Chameleon fight. Win the fight for A Monumental Finale.
- Die once first if needed. Fatal Performance requires dying during the Chameleon fight, so trigger it before your winning attempt.
- Use Henry's computer. Open the password file and use Saw Box code
471. - Branch the saw choice. Toy Saw leads toward Escape / Ending A. Working Saw leads toward Return / Ending B.
- For Ending C, ignore the late door. After all three Chapter I secrets are done, return to Mellow's room instead of opening the door that asks to be opened.
