How to Get All Endings

Multiple Playthroughs Needed for 100% Completion

To avoid boredom, it's recommended to alternate between Canon of Creation and Canon of Vengeance with each playthrough. Achieving 100% completion requires experiencing all six endings, as you need to collect every boss data in your Virtual Trainer on a single save file, which means you cannot rely on save scumming.

This process will necessitate playing through New Game Plus at least five times. However, there's no need to worry, as a significant amount of content carries over to New Game Plus, including quest progress and the number of Miman found.
