How to reach both endings in Big Walk - the first ending through the Black Tower and the true ending hidden behind the seven purple puzzles.
Big Walk Ending Guide
Big Walk has two endings. The first ending is the natural main-story finish, usually reached around seven to ten hours in. The true ending is locked behind full completion and requires finishing every puzzle in the game.
First ending (Big Goodbye)
- Complete the four colored towers (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue) so the Black Obelisk door opens on its own.
- Solve the six Black Tower puzzles and collect all six gourd-shaped rewards.
- Place the six rewards in the tower, climb to the roof, and take the Black Key.
- Shape the key through its cutters, then take it to the large gate on the far western side of the island to unlock the Wall (Big Wall achievement).
- Cross the long, bare stretch toward the black Sphere on the horizon - there is no second key to build along the way, so keep the group together.
- Clear the Sphere's co-op rooms. In the dark red chamber, press the button on the suspended mechanism, wait for the Sphere to power down and open, then follow the red route across the water.
- At the small ending building, use Wave Goodbye at the sign, press the entrance button, and go inside as a group. The screen fades to white and the credits roll, unlocking Big Goodbye.
True ending (Big Game)
- After the first ending, seven harder Purple Puzzles unlock. They are remixes of challenges you have already beaten.
- Complete all seven purple puzzles plus anything you skipped during the first playthrough - the true ending requires every single puzzle.
- Once everything is done, a final key rises from the ground. Collect it.
- Return to the spawn area and look for the secret room tucked between the broken black Sphere on the wall.
- Read the messages inside the room to trigger the true ending and unlock Big Game.
Tips
- Progression trophies unlock when you personally cross, enter, or ride something, not when the group does. Do the tower and ending interactions together so nobody misses a credit.
- Purple blorbs are post-game content and are not needed to open the Black Obelisk; ordinary red rewards work in the same sockets.
- If a single puzzle blocks your group, the host can turn on challenge skipping from the accessibility menu so nothing stops the finish.
