What Happens if You Beat Adam on the First Encounter?

Adam presents himself as an insurmountable foe in the Prologue of Bravely Default 2 (Bravely Default II) on the Nintendo Switch. But did you know, you can actually overpower him in your battle in the Vale of Sighs? Read on to learn what happens when you beat Adam on your first encounter with him.

A Secret Ending

Through enough grinding and preparation, it is possible to overpower Adam in your battle with him at the Vale of Sighs. When you do, he falls as he is shocked at his defeat. The screen fades to black and a hooded woman will appear on screen. She laments Adam's death and plots towards a new plan. The credits will then quickly roll by signifying the end of the story.

The game will then end with a notification saying that you have to be defeated by Adam in order to proceed to the next stage of the story. You'll be asked to save your game, and that you'll load from before the battle with Horten and Adam.

As a reward, you'll be treated to a special art of Adam on the thumbnail of your save data.
