here are the 3 endings of AC:FA.

EndingsEdit

Armored Core: For Answer has three different endings based on which missions the player selects at certain steps in the game.

League Path Ending: After Malzel and Vaoh are taken out at BIG BOX, the League suddenly starts disengaging from the conflict, despite the fact that Thermidor is still on track to carry out the Closed Plan, which would bring down the Cradles in the process. The player is contacted by Wynne D Fanchon, who informs The Protagonist that the League is secretly complicit in ORCA's plans and is sitting on the sidelines despite the casualties that will result from the Closed Plan. Fanchon and a small group of LYNX break off from Collared, including the player, who accompanies Fanchon to Arteria Cranium to confront Thermidor and Shinkai. The two ORCA LYNX are destroyed during the battle, after which Fanchon identifies Thermidor as Otsdarva, believed to be dead. Subsequent to this battle, the League suddenly re-engages the conflict and destroys all remaining ORCA assets, leaving humanity to live safely in the clouds.

ORCA Path Ending: After defending the Anti-Satellite Cannons and destroying the Arms Fort Answerer, the player recieves a posthumous message from Thermidor, who informs The Protagonist that he is the only remaining ORCA LYNX and that in order to carry out the Closed Plan, Arteria Cranium must be siezed. Once at Arteria Cranium, The Protagonist confronts Wynne D Fanchon and Roy Saaland, and defeats both of them. After this, the power from Arteria Cranium is redirected to the Anti-Satellite Cannons, which cause the Cradles to come crashing down. While this causes a large number of the people inhabiting the Cradles to die from Kojima Exposure, it also allows the Cannons to blow away the Assault Cells that kept mankind from accessing outer space.

Destruction Path Ending: Old King approaches The Protagonist with an offer to bring down the Cradles by attacking them directly. This plan begins at Cradle 03, which results in the deaths of 100 million people. The Protagonist and Old King are subsequently lured to Arteria Carpals by a fabricated mission request from the Interior Union, which was really made by the top LYNX of Collared (Fanchon, Wolcott, Roadie, and Otsdarva, who has dropped the Thermidor ruse but pilots Unsung instead of Stasis) to draw out and kill the LYNX who destroyed the Cradle. A battle ensues, during which Old King dies at the hands of the Collared LYNX. However, the Protagonist ends up defeating all four enemy NEXTs and subsequently goes on to destroy the remaining Cradles, becoming the greatest monster in the history of the planet.
