|---|---|

In the Canon of Vengeance route, there is no ending choice at the end. Instead, the ending is determinded by who you choose to side with between Tao and Yoko.

All Story Choices and Alignments
Canon of Creation Choices and Alignments
| Question | Answer and Alignment |
|---|---|
 After defeating Metatron |
I will uphold God's order. |
| I will recreate the world and save Tokyo. | |
| I will destroy the throne. |
A choice event will trigger after defeating Metatron at the top of the Temple of Eternity. What you choose will decide the story's ending so it is highly advised that you save your progress after beating Metatron if you want to see all the possible endings.
You'll get bonus rewards depending on your alignment
Your choices throughout the game will affect what you get after making the decision at the top of the Temple of Eternity. Your final alignment will depend on what choice you picked the most in the past choice events.
| Choice | Requirement |
|---|---|
| "I will uphold God's order." | Select the first response on each choice event |
| "I will recreate the world and save Tokyo." | Select the second response on each choice event |
If your choices throughout the story don't match your final choice, a quest NPC in the Empyrean will charge you 660,000 Macca before you can advance Michael and Belial's subquests.
This NPC will not charge you any Macca and you will get a Miracle from Tao (depending on your alignment) if your decision matches with your current alignment on your playthrough's route.
To The Empyrean General Tips
Passing Through Time Gates
You will find gates inside the Temple of Eternity that can manipulate time. Passing through a red gate stops time while passing through a green gate unfreezes it.
While time is frozen, you won't be able to interact with doors, treasure boxes, and demons. You can use this trick to get past the groups of demons blocking the way if you want to avoid fighting them.
Luring Demons
You can also lure the demons out of their formation so you can get through. Walk to a demon close enough for it to attack you then dodge the attack. Repeat these steps until you make a gap wide enough to slip through then run past the group.

Metatron has no weaknesses and is resistant to every type except for Physical and Dark. Bring demons with strong Physical, Dark, or Almighty skills like Kali, Futsunushi, and Seth. You'd also want to make sure that your team is resistant to Light since Metatron's damaging skills are either Light or Almighty.

Dazai specializes in Fire attacks and Abdiel specializes in Dark attacks. Bring demons like Sraosha and Agrat to counter them and bring them down quickly.
Dazai can inflict your party with troublesome status ailments so make sure to take him down quickly with Ice for an easier fight.
