Tenebris Somnia: all four endings

Spoilers ahead: progression and solutions.

The next step

Keep a save before using the Aurifer Knife against the Relicta. Spare them for SOLVE ET COAGULA; kill at least one with Aurifer for MAGNUM OPUS. RENUNTIATIO is an early exit, while VIVUS EX MORTIBUS requires the two main endings and a new run. Full spoilers below.

Make the Aurifer Knife

  1. In Desiderium, first turn on the Floor 2 bathroom faucet and inspect the knife-holding Ivan statue. Solve the office photographs, prepare the vase with chemicals and blood, and heat it at the kitchen oven with the Lighter. Take the Circular Plate.
  2. Use the plate on the Floor 2 office chest for the VHS Tape. Put the Julia Figure and the Ivan Figure from the TV fight into the Glass Box. Offer the box to the chest-hole statue through the A.S. room and break the gilded statue. Expose the filled vase at the studio light, then use the resulting Auritsatio on Ivan’s statue for Lapis Fictus.
  3. Use Lapis Fictus on the kitchen fusebox for Melanosis. Descend the elevator shaft, flee the Relicta and use the knife in the mercury puddle for Virdis. Inspect the bed statues and wall hole to collect the Lead Key. Unlock the studio symbol door, head through the northern doors and use Virdis at the hotel door. After the scene you receive Aurifer.

Endings 1 and 2: the Relicta decision

SOLVE ET COAGULA: after obtaining Aurifer, pass the Relicta without killing them with it and continue to the final encounter. MAGNUM OPUS: kill at least one Relicta with Aurifer, then continue.

Make the save before the kill. Reloading a save made after it preserves the branch you already chose. Earlier fights are not the decision described here; the condition concerns the Aurifer route.

Ending 3: VIVUS EX MORTIBUS

  1. The player guide reports this route after both main endings. Start a new game and take the Bible from the opening table. Use it before solving the Floor 2 TV puzzle and follow the scene’s instructions.
  2. Use the Bible before the cultural-center padlock and enter 6666. Much later, use it in the ground-floor room with the shotgun man; connect the yellow cable, change channels until enemies appear and defeat them. At the street reached through the blue door left of the Floor 3 elevator, place the three red crosses on the right wall and enter the door.
  3. If the Bible is absent, do not replace it with a guessed item: confirm both main endings have been completed on the same game profile. This route is based on Hakita’s October 17 player guide, not our own playtest.

Ending 4: RENUNTIATIO

In a new run, use the Apartment Keys at the building entrance and leave. Do this early rather than carrying a late-game save back through the entire route. This is a separate ending, not the choice between the two Aurifer outcomes.
