Next up

After the Credits

Free roam after the second ending: both max-stat trophies by the save-backup trick, the post-story Space Cock quest, the Tolga & Fatin quest line and the grind trophies still open.

This stretch starts when the credits of the second ending finish and the game hands you back the city: the save you keep from here on is that one. You have every tool, all 126 Inhibitors (at least 81 of them unspent, if you followed the plan) and both maps open. First comes the backup trick for the two max-stat trophies, before anything else changes on the save; then a hidden quest that only opens after the story, the four Tolga & Fatin quests across both maps, and last the grind and feat trophies, most of which have popped by now. Bloody Ties is the next section and starts in Quarry End; New Game+ comes after it.

Free roam resumes at the Fish EyeHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMinor spoiler
Location
Central Loop · the Fish Eye – When the credits end you are back at the Fish Eye. Now or Never and X13 can't be played again on this save, and the story-only interiors stay shut; another player's co-op game can take you into them, but nothing reaches the prologue.
Requires
Summary
After the credits the city stays open for side quests, activities and collectibles in both maps; enemies and activities now match your level.

Both max-stat trophies: back up first, change nothing in between

Fit as a Fiddle (max Health) and Ironheart (max Stamina) each need one stat raised all the way, and 126 Inhibitors aren't enough for both. So: with at least 81 Inhibitors unspent, back up the save outside the game, max Health, restore the backup, then max Stamina. Do the three rows below back to back: anything you pick up or finish between the backup and the restore is undone when you restore. Trophies you earn in between stay earned. If the backup won't restore on your platform, keep the save with Health maxed, put every Inhibitor left into Stamina, and finish Stamina in New Game+ with its 30 extra Inhibitors. That fallback has limits: only one of those 30 spots is known (section 22), the rest have to be found by searching, and it needs every one of the 126 from run 1 too.

Back up the save with at least 81 Inhibitors unspent (both max-stat trophies)Other
Location
Central Loop · the Fish Eye – At the Fish Eye, open the Skills menu: the Health and Stamina upgrades and your unspent Inhibitors are at the bottom. With at least 81 unspent, back the save up outside the game. On PlayStation, upload the save to PS Plus cloud storage from the console's Saved Data settings (on PS4 a USB drive also works), with auto-sync of saved data turned off so the cloud copy isn't overwritten; on PC, copy the save folder (inside Steam's userdata folder) somewhere safe. Xbox works differently: see the note.
Requires
Summary
A copy of the save from outside the game, holding at least 81 unspent Inhibitors: enough to max either stat once, and to do it again after restoring the copy.
Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S
Xbox has no manual copy: force a cloud save instead. Go offline, move around in the game for a few seconds, go back online and check that the save has uploaded. From then until you restore, don't quit the game (quitting can overwrite the cloud copy), and stay online, since achievements don't unlock offline. To restore, delete the game's saved data from the console under Manage Game, Saved Data (repeat until it is gone) and start the game again: it downloads the cloud copy.

The Tolga & Fatin quests

A free update added four quests in a row: Leap Before You Look, Anomaly, The Machine and Follow the White Rabbit. They cross both maps, from The Wharf to Old Villedor, the dam in the Outlands and Lower Dam Ayre, and the last one needs the Grappling Hook and the Paraglider. No trophy depends on them; they give a six-piece gear set and two Mementos that don't count toward Archivist. Most steps send you on by quest marker, so follow it between the places named below.

Leap Before You Look: "Missing Person" on the Floating Fortress board, Michael on Saint Paul IslandHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMinor spoiler
Location
Central Loop · Saint Paul Island – Fast travel to The Wharf's PK Floating Fortress and take "Missing Person" from the quest board there; Sarah comes to you and asks you to find Michael. Follow the marker to Saint Paul Island and an anomaly area: look for a generator by some green containers, with a body behind them. Report to Sarah, then follow the trail on into the anomaly.

Bloody Ties starts in the Quarry End pool building

The third beacon of Anomaly sits in the swimming-pool building on a Quarry End rooftop, the same building where Bloody Ties begins. Bloody Ties comes with every current copy, so walking in there starts its first quest, First Blood, and it can't be skipped. Play First Blood through when it starts (it is the first row of the next section), then come back to the beacon and finish this quest line; the rest of Bloody Ties follows after it.

Anomaly: beacons 1-3 in Houndfield, a Forsaken Store and the Quarry End pool buildingHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMinor spoiler
Location
Old Villedor · Quarry End – The twins give you goggles that turn the world grey except for blue beacons. Fast travel to Old Villedor: the first beacon is inside a building on the edge of Houndfield, west of where the quest starts. The second is upstairs in a Forsaken Store to the south-east, with Volatiles inside by day; its portal drops you under water, so swim up. The third is in the swimming-pool building on a rooftop in Quarry End (see the warning above): cross the slowed-down room to its portal.
Requires
Summary
The second quest, first half: the twins' goggles show beacons, each one a portal into a trial.

Central Loop · Outlands – Fast travel to the Central Loop and go out west of Garrison to the dam you crossed in Veronika. The fourth beacon needs tight parkour up to a portal in the observatory's dome. The fifth is in Tolga and Fatin's workshop: you are shrunk to a tiny size there and climb the shelves to the portal.

Location
Old Villedor · Quarry End – The twins add a pair of gloves. In a subway area in Quarry End, gather the glowing orbs to steady a portal, go through to a fight in a cave, then on through more portals for machine parts and a blueprint. Then visit each beacon again for harder trials (dark rooms, a twisted church, fights). Where three identical portals open, take the one you hear music or other sound from; the wrong one fails the step.

About this guide

Two runs on any difficulty. Run 1 plays the whole story with every collectible, gives all seven facilities to the Survivors and ends with one ending; a save backup made outside the game at the last door before the finale lets you watch a second ending by replaying only the last two quests, not the whole game. After the credits the city stays open for cleanup and Bloody Ties. Run 2 is New Game+ on the other faction's path for the third ending. The game has no manual saves, so the backup steps say how to copy your save on each platform; without them, each extra ending needs another New Game+ run. Two trophies need other players.
