![]() The end result to following the path of violence creates a bit of a depressing end to our tale, subtly telling us of the breach of morality our actions had. Though the main concept of the story is one of vengeance, a fact that's regularly drilled into us with every failed attempt, every age milestone hit, and the repetition of combat creating a Pavlovian reward for every brutal beatdown we dole out. With Sifu, it's a little easier to point the crowd in the relative right direction. Like any game with multiple endings, there's naturally going to be a debate drawn to it around which one is the correct one. It works well with the forgiveness route and it's a much more positive end to the story than the hollow victory of vengeance. The student is supposed to be a new prodigy following the path of Wude as his predecessors once did. It's inferred heavily that this is supposed to be Yang, reformed, redeemed, and now following the path of his old Sifu. A student approaches, yelling out for their Sifu, the man in the chair, before leaving as the person in the seat follows, the magical talisman restored and left lying on the desk. The credits roll is briefly interrupted and we're shown a man in robes, implied to be Yang, sitting at a desk in the protagonist's old Dojo. If these are in your inventory before that final Yang showdown there'll be a short mid-credits scene that ties the story off with a nice bow. The Talismans in question are Earth, Water, Fire, Wood, and Metal. There's one final ending to unlock and it will probably take a few playthroughs to get it as it requires collecting all the individual components of the lost magic talisman, which you can get by sparing every boss in the game, including Yang. It's an interesting way to cap off the story, but the tale is not finished yet. Climbing a mountaintop whilst a serene landscape stretches into the horizon as if following his path of Wude to its end helped our protagonist ascend to a new plane of tranquility. ![]() But it's not all bad for our hero as the screen fades outl it's shown that he's seemingly in a blissful afterlife. Our character then dies, accepting that the only true moral outcome of the fight was to die instead of taking the life of someone that refuses to stop until they themselves are killed. ![]() Our protagonist seems to come to an internal conclusion, Fully embracing the ideals of Wude allows Yang to strike the final finishing blow on him. This time there are no health bars, and no matter how well you counter those hits the screen eventually gets that red light again before a cutscene triggers. A lazy sunbeam illuminates what's set to be the penultimate throwdown as Yang appears once more. After the final showdown with Yang our hero will awaken in the gravestone room again, but this time without the very distinct red light.
