The Endings

Crimson Butterfly has six endings — you need every one — plus A Butterfly's Dream for any ending on Nightmare. Most branch from late-game conditions and choices, so chapter select and a single replay of the final chapter cover several at once. Get the canonical Crimson Butterfly ending first, then mop up the rest.

Difficulty2/10

What it asks

Reach the “Lonely Road Home” ending.

How to earn it

Pro tips

  • Several endings share most of the run and split only at the end — knock them out back-to-back using chapter select to save time.

A Butterfly's Dream

SilverFull guideCollapse

Reach any ending on Nightmare difficulty.
TypeSilver
MissableNo
Difficulty4/10

What it asks

Beat the game and reach any ending on the hardest setting, Nightmare, unlocked after your first completion.

How to earn it

  1. Start a Nightmare run with your carried-over, upgraded Camera Obscura.
  2. Play defensively — Fatal Frames and Zero-distance shots do big damage, and dodging beats trading hits.
  3. Any ending counts, so take the quickest branch you know.

Pro tips

  • Carry over a maxed camera and strong film (Type-07/Type-90) to trivialise the tougher spirits.
