There are seven possible endings in Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown, with several options along the way on how exactly you wish to proceed through all 12 sectors. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to unlock all seven endings in the game, including a fork in Sector 11, which concerns the Ralik’s sacrifice.
Stick To The Prime Directive
If you wish to quickly end the game on the very first main mission, you need to play to Sector 1: Caretaker and recruit your crew, consisting of the following members:
- Tom Paris
- Harry Kim
- B’Elanna
- Chakotay
- The Doctor
- Neelix
- Kes
Then, choose to use the array to go home at the Caretaker’s Array, and you should ignore Ocampa. The ending will trigger immediately, so be sure to reload the checkpoint, destroy the array, and proceed to Sector 2 if you wish to continue playing.
The Starfleet Way
The actual first main ending of the game takes place during the final Sector 12 by following any prior path. Here’s what you need to do:
- Before the point of no return, delete or avoid all Borg buildings, including Borg tech from Sector 5: Unity.
- Complete Sector 12 by following any hub path, since they all work, but do avoid Borg tech.
- You can also replay Sector 12 multiple times and do this run alongside other endings.
Canon Ending
This ending requires you to carefully choose your crew members. Here’s how to get it:
- Sector 1: Tom Paris, Harry Kim, B’Elanna, Chakotay, Doctor, Neelix, Kes.
- Sector 4: Tuvok
- Sector 6: Seven
- Sector 11: Icheb
It’s also recommended to avoid splitting B’Elanna in Sector 3, so if you’ve already done that but still wish to get this ending, then restart the sector. You can also have any other extra members, and once you reach Sector 12, complete any home path to get the ending, which unlocks upon arrival on Earth.
Home, Hub And Holdfast
This ending is a kind of a fork in Sector 11, when you need to disagree with Ralik’s sacrifice. Once you start Sector 12, you should equip 100 Ex-Borg, Energy Dissipater, and 35 Science or Combat Power 400. You’ll know that you reached this ending as soon as you see the option: “The captain alone decides…”
Welcome Home, Voyager
The opposite of the previous ending is to ally with Ralik in Sector 11. For Sector 12, you need to collect or develop the Borg Vinculum and pathogen. You’ll also see many more options to choose from in the end than in the previous ending.
The Calm Before The Storm
Follow the same path as in the previous “Welcome Home, Voyager” ending, but here you’ll see an option to sacrifice your crew members. If you choose to do so, then select the ones you wish to sacrifice in order to get this ending.
Was It Worth It?
The final ending completely ignores the Ralik’s decision, so it doesn’t matter anymore. That’s why this is probably the most anticlimactic ending of all. You’ll get only three options here:
- “The captain alone decides: Head into the nebula – engage the cube.”
- “For the good of the crew: Don’t destroy the hub and enter the aperture. Go home.”
- “Stand by your decision: Fight the Queen and go home!”
