A complete, step‑by‑step guide to unlocking the three endings in Bandai Namco’s Code Vein II (released January 29, 2026)

Japanese publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment has been involved in bringing several Souls‑like games to players, and on January 29, 2026 they released Code Vein II — a sequel action‑RPG set in a post‑apocalyptic world rendered in anime style. In the new story the protagonist hunts dangerous immortal creatures spawned by the catastrophe and travels into the past alongside a young woman named Lu who can manipulate time. As is common for speculative narratives, the game offers multiple conclusions; unlike some titles, however, Code Vein II requires you to obtain its endings in a specific sequence. This article explains how to see all three endings and what conditions must be met for each of them.

There are three possible finales in Code Vein II: “Hero’s End,” “Fraterna’s Moon,” and “Wondrous Bonds.” The good news is that, in theory, all three can be unlocked within a single overall playthrough, but they must be obtained in the order the developers intended. First you complete the main story and unlock the default ending. After that you must use the main menu to continue and trigger a new mission to reach the second ending. Finally, a special option becomes available that launches a short side‑quest line; completing those quests yields the third and most complete ending.

Ending 1 — “Hero’s End.” This ending is the default result of completing the core storyline. It is unlocked when the protagonist defeats the main boss located in the area called "Luna Rakapsis." Simply finishing the primary campaign and overcoming that boss will register this ending in your save file.

Ending 2 — “Fraterna’s Moon.” To reach this second ending you must already have completed the game once and obtained “Hero’s End.” After finishing the main story and returning to the main menu, choose the Continue option (the character Zenon will provide an in‑game hint to do so). Selecting Continue opens a new mission that sends the player to the year 2207, the Era of the Upheaval, where a further objective appears. The “Fraterna’s Moon” ending unlocks when you eliminate an additional boss found in the area named the "Sealing Spire."

Ending 3 — “Wondrous Bonds.” With both the first and second endings unlocked, the main menu presents a new option called “Save Lu.” Selecting this option begins a short chain of additional quests. Completing the full chain rewrites the course of the narrative and grants the most complete ending, “Wondrous Bonds.” You must finish all four specified quests in separate zones to obtain this finale.

The four side quests required for “Wondrous Bonds” and their locations are: Bridge to the Future — found on the island of Magmell; Immortal Oath — a quest in the Corrosive Scar; Life in Full Bloom — a mission in the Undead Forest; Dwelling of Memories — a task in the Sunken City. Note that finishing each of these quests also awards a corresponding achievement, so completion is tracked both in the game and in the achievement system.

A few practical reminders: the endings must be unlocked in the order described, and the Continue and Save Lu options become available only after the prerequisite steps are completed. If you want to see every outcome without starting a fresh new save file, follow the sequence: complete the main story to get “Hero’s End,” use Continue to access the mission that leads to “Fraterna’s Moon,” then use Save Lu and finish the four side quests to reach “Wondrous Bonds.” Good luck on the hunt and on the time‑twisting journey to uncover every ending.
