Endings in Bloodlines 2 seem to be largely dependent on your interactions with characters throughout the game, whether you are positive or hostile toward them during the dialogue interactions throughout the game. The story always progresses the same way regardless of your choices outside of the specific interaction that will lock you into the I.A.O. ending, so you need to pay attention to the dialogue options you are selecting and who you are speaking to.

Ending 1: A City in Flames

This corresponds to the game’s “bad” ending, and is only dependent on a single choice during the story.

During the mission We Don’t Do Ghost Stories you meet Agent Baker and have the option to either turn Baker into a vampire or kill Baker. To get the I.A.O ending you must kill Agent Baker, which seems to lock you into this ending regardless of any other choices made, and results in the I.A.O. continuing to attack Seattle during the ending.

Ending 2: A City of Anarchy

This ending results in Katsumi being in charge of the city at the end of the game, and largely revolves around acting positively toward her throughout the game while being neutral or hostile to the other court vampires. As long as you stay largely positive to Katsumi throughout the game you should receive this ending regardless of other choices.

Notable possible interactions:

• A Star of Cold Aspect – Give Benny to Katsumi/Ryong (doesn’t specifically matter)
• Turning Down the Heat – Send Max to Katsumi

Ending 3: A City Most Fabulous

This ending results in Tolly being in charge of the city at the end of the game, and results from removing other possible options then confirming in dialogue options at the end of the game that you won’t stay in Seattle, leaving Tolly the only one left to take charge.

Ending 5: A City Unchained

This ending results in Phyre staying and being in charge of Seattle. To do this you must act negatively toward most characters except Tolly, while telling Tolly and Fabien that you want to stay in Seattle and be Prince, along with using the I.A.O. to target Katsumi. Most other options can be done the same as during the Lou ending up until the choice with Baker during Putting Out the Trash.

Notable possible interactions:

• In Chains of Lead and Gold – Be positive toward Lou
• The Fires of Industry – Be hostile toward Ryong

Ending 6: A City of Kinship

This ending results in Phyre leaving the city while one of the Clan contacts takes over as Prince. To do this you need to complete the side quest chain for the Clan contacts, then go through all of their dialogue with positive interacts to receive a dialogue suggesting they could take over as Prince.

Currently Silky, Fletcher, and Mrs. Thorn seem to be able to have this option, but only Mrs. Thorn is confirmed to work. You need to complete her quest each time one is available, then after the final one available before you start The Coursing of the Rats make sure you’ve gone through all of her dialogue, getting positive reactions as much as possible (basically complement her every time). Then you will be able to suggest she take over as Prince, then confirm that you think she should. You don’t need to flirt with her to accomplish this.

The choices during the story can be the exact same as those required for the Tolly ending: Be hostile toward Lou, drive out the Anarchs with the I.A.O., and tell Fabien that you will leave the city.

Notable possible interactions:

• In Chains of Lead and Gold – Be positive toward Lou
• The Fires of Industry – Be hostile toward Ryong
• A Star of Cold Aspect – Be hostile to Katsumi, return Benny to Ryong
• Taste of Description – Be positive toward Lou
• Turning Down the Heat – Be hostile to Katsumi, don’t send Max to Katsumi
• Tome Alone – Be positive toward Lou
• A Plaything Discarded – Be hostile to Max and Katsumi
• The Pathways of Hesperidies – Be positive toward Lou
