At a critical moment in Trek to Yomi players are tasked with choosing a path, and their decision determines the game's ending. This occurs during chapter 6, and choosing a path is the way in which a player's ending is chosen. As a result, it's useful to know where each path leads, which is where this guide comes in.
Trek to Yomi follows the story of Hiroki, a warrior seeking out the ones who destroyed his village. The game is set in Japan during the Edo period and draws heavily on Japanese culture and mythology, much like Flying Wild Hog's previous work in the Shadow Warrior Series. By the time players reach chapter 6, Hiroki has faced countless hardships in his journey, from the mundane to the supernatural, in his journey to track down Kagerou and get revenge for the destruction of his village.
Choosing Love
By choosing Love, Hiroki returns from Yomi briefly to fight Kagerou one final time. After beating Kagerou with the power of Yomi, Hiroki returns to Yomi to be with his beloved Aiko for the rest of eternity.
This grants the achievement "Follow Your Heart". In this ending Hiroki finally avenges the village and puts an end to Kagerou's evil, but leaves the world to be with his love.
Choosing Duty
Choosing to uphold his duty, Hiroki returns to fight Kagerou once more and after besting him, the game skips ahead to the future. Hiroki, now much older, trains a young boy in the same way he was once trained, in a mirror of the scenes from earlier in the game, continuing to uphold his duty to his Sensei and the people.
This grants the achievement "Follow Your Mind". This ending sees Hiroki remain in the world after the defeat of Kagerou, choosing to continue guarding the people from evil and to train a successor also.
Refuse Gifts
By refusing gifts and surrendering to Rage, Hiroki takes on Kagerou for the last time and slays him, before donning his armor and usurping him as the leader of Kagerou's army. In this ending, Hiroki becomes the very thing he swore to destroy, and lives the rest of his days as a killer.
This dark ending grants the achievement "Follow Your Blade". This ending sees Hiroki achieve his vengeance, but at the cost of becoming a villain just like Kagerou, making this undeniably the "bad" ending.
Trek to Yomi is available now for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
