We all know and love both Breath of the Wild and now The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the incredible amount of freedom afforded to us. Not only are you free to explore in any direction you so choose, but you are even free to march straight from the beginning of the game to the final boss if you think you're up to the challenge. Should you win, the final cutscene will play and the credits will roll. But doing that, or anything short of meeting some specific requirements, will cut your ending short. If you want to see the true ending to Tears of the Kingdom, here's how to unlock an additional scene.

Difficulty

Hard

What You Need

  • Complete all main story quests

  • Get the Master Sword

  • Collect all Memories

How to get the true ending

The true ending in Tears of the Kingdom isn't terribly difficult, but more time-consuming than anything else. Here's what you need to do to get the full ending experience.

Step 1: Complete every main story quest. Before you do the final mission, you should have 23 of 24 complete, with the final one obviously being the last mission.

Step 2: During that process, you should have picked up the Master Sword.

Step 3: This also includes viewing all other memories by finding all the Geoglyphs.

Step 4: Once all those requirements are met, complete the game as normal to get an extra scene which you can view below.

Obviously, major spoilers are in this video so watch at your own peril!

How to change worlds in Once Human

Survival games tend to be some of the best multiplayer games on PC, and Once Human is no exception. This massive world is far too big and dangerous to fully explore and conquer by yourself, meaning you will always be dumped into a world filled with other players. You initially can choose if you want to play in a world that allows for PvP or is strictly PvE so no one ganks you while you're having fun decorating your base, but what if you want to play with friends who end up in a different world than you?

Each server has multiple worlds within it, so coordinating to play on the same server doesn't guarantee you will find them right away. There's no need to worry right now about linking up with console players since we don't know when Once Human will come to consoles just yet. You won't find an easy way to change worlds in the menus, so here's all you need to know about changing worlds in Once Human.

How to share your base with friends in Once Human

Cooperation is key to making any progress in Once Human. Once you jump into a server and join the same world as your friends, one of the first orders of business will be to establish a base of operations. The best survival games all give you tons of customization and building options, and Once Human is no exception. However, you can only build within the limits of your own territory and, by default, no one else can build on your space either. While you could each just build your bases next to one another, it's much more fun to collaborate and help build one communal base. Here's how you can share a base with friends in Once Human.

How to appear offline on Steam

No one can deny that Steam is the most fully-featured storefront for PC gaming. With regular Steam sales that discount the best PC games, every gamer has a Steam account. That likely means you have a full Friends list of people wanting to play or chat all the time. That's usually great, but sometimes you just want to settle in for some solo gaming without people sending messages or asking to play. An easy way to avoid that is to appear offline.
