Valkyrie Profile/Endings

In Valkyrie Profile and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, the PSP remake of Valkyrie Profile, there are 3 different endings one can get. They are the 'A Ending', the 'B Ending' and the 'C Ending'. The most common ending to receive through normal playthrough is the B Ending, which you can get on all modes. The 'C Ending' is considered as the 'bad ending' of Valkyrie Profile, and is also available on all difficulty modes. The hardest to get (by accident at any rate) is the 'A Ending', which is seen as the 'best ending'. This is a quick runthrough on how to get each ending. For elaborations on how to defeat particular dungeons and whatnot, see the respective entry in the Walkthrough.

If you wish to achieve each ending in order of how 'easy' it is, it's easier to get the C ending first, then on another file fill out the criteria for the A ending then make up two separate saves - one where you go to Ragnarok like a good Valkyrie, another where you go to the Weeping Lily Meadow and participate in events from there - it simply saves time.

C Ending
This ending is one of the simplest endings to achieve. To get this ending you must have your Evaluation Level drop very, very low, and for it to eventually become 0. To get this easily, once you leave the Artolian Mountain Ruins (a mandatory event at the beginning of Valkyrie Profile), rest until the chapter ends, don't send any Einherjar up, and your evaluation will drop. Continue doing this until your Evaluation Level is 0, enter a dungeon, then leave said dungeon. Freya will give you a warning, and your Evaluation will go to 1, so you have a second chance... Rest again until your Evaluation drops down to 0, then you will meet her again. This time you will have to battle her - it's almost, not quite, but almost impossible to beat her unless you're using a cheating device, however, the result is the same whether you win or you lose - you get to see the C Ending.

A Ending
This ending is nigh impossible to achieve by accident. To get this ending you must:


 * Have lowered Valkyries Seal Value to 37 or lower by Chapter 7.
 * Complete the Tower of Lezard Valeth by the end of Chapter 4.
 * Recruit Lucian and Mystina in Chapter 5.
 * Send Lucian to Valhalla in either Chapter 5 or 6.

Sounds simple, right? It isn't. Valkyries Seal Value is not the same as her Evaluation! To see her Seal Value, go to 'Status' and it's the Value that's displayed instead of a hero value (Valkyrie can't have a Hero Value because 'Gods don't have human traits').

Things that affect the Seal Value are:
 * Visiting the Weeping Lily Meadow (this removes 15 points from her Seal Value).
 * Visiting Gerabellum (this removes 15 points from her Seal Value).
 * Transferring an Einherjar to Valhalla (this adds 12 points to her Seal Value).
 * Meeting Brahms, Lord of the Undead (this removes 10 points from her Seal Value).
 * It doesn't matter if you allow Brahms to escape or if you fight him - meeting him is enough.
 * Recruiting heroes (this removes 2 points from her Seal Value).
 * Recruiting Lucian (this removes 20 points from her Seal Value).
 * Recruiting Mystina (this removes 15 points from her Seal Value).
 * Defeat Lezard Valeth in his creepy tower (this removes 15 points from her Seal Value).
 * Wearing the Nibelung Ring during a Sacred Phase adds 2 points to her Seal Value.
 * Removing the Nibelung Ring so Valkyrie doesn't wear it during a Sacred Phase removes 2 points from her Seal Value.
