Actually I'd disagree, the infinity machine is trying to complete a specific task, not just create a universe but create a *specific* universe, where as cosmo genesis just wants to create a formless qorld that they can shape to their own will, which the infinity machine presumably could also do but wasn't trying to do. So its more like if I was trying to knit a really fancy sweater and some kid came along and grabbed my yarn, and just created a big ball of yarn to play with.

@@asmkalrizion7078 The fact there are two outcomes is very telling for lore purposes. What was Infinity trying to do? I propose, the reason for the universe being so old if you assist that purpose, is that Infinity was trying to create a 'short cut.' A universe in which a larger part of the calculations have already occurred, and within 'itself' would be further along in the math. I wonder if recursive dives into big G. would have done something.

Entering into a normal black hole and the second Gargantua hole you learn that your whole endeavors were for nothing, as the universe you arrived to is not malleable.

I have seen some consider that maybe fallen empires all went through their own cosmogenesis. But I disagre...to an extent, I think simply all of them reached a pinnacle where they tried something of the cosmogenesis scale, and that eventually lead to their decay into fallen empire, not necessarily that all of them tried to make a new universe. After all the contingency implies of technologies that could destroy this universe already. When it comes to these endings, the toxic gods one is amazing, it screams to the fantasy lover in me as its a story that mixes both scifi and fantasy tropes. I find the infinity machine interesting, what they might wish to do with repairing it? The universe cant be remold, but they could already try to find a new one, so that is food for thought on why need the machine. The worm one always reminds me of psychological horror, I am not sure how to interpret that one. Is the worm controlling the needle's people now to escape? The obsessional directive one is a straight up meme though, turning universe after universe into paperclips. Loved the video king! Always so nice of you

This is my line of thought too. I did a Knights playthrough when the toxoids were released and was disappointed by their vanilla endings. *HEAVY SPOILERS, DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELF* Basically, at the end of the quest, you encounter a colossus-sized entity called "The Toxic God", which is hostile and you have no other options but to defeat it in battle. Once the battle is over, you have two options to choose from, each one giving you a different ending. Option 1: You decide that the "Toxic God" was no god after all, just a machine. This is a pretty gloomy and depressing ending that sees the knights of the toxic god disbanding, heartbroken and disillusioned that their millennia-old quest was all for nothing. The reward for this ending is that you get the defeated Toxic God as a unique colossus that can turn any planet into a Toxic Planet. Option 2: You decide that this machine was not the actual Toxic God, that this is just a test by the real deal to prove your faith, you decide to slay the creature, take it's head back to your homeworld as a relic (Which serves to consecrate other habitats into Knightly order Headquarters) and that the real Toxic God is still out there somewhere, waiting for you. This ending is a bit more optimistic, and with a much more useful reward, but it felt anti-climactic, because after all your trials and tribulations, the entire storyline ends on a "To Be Continued" that I was so sure would never actually be resolved. Needless to say, I am THRILLED that this DLC added some much needed and insanely awesome conclusion to this storyline.

I got the paperclip ending which I thought was pretty funny. Really liked the Dimensional Horror ending though, I'm a sucker for a bleak ending and its a good contrast that despite the heights your civilisation reaches with the crisis, there are much bigger and scarier lurking out there.

Gargantua (no infinity machine) and great wound seem pretty good, a young universe to shape into paradise The idea of building this massive ship just so you can find a better universe and then using it to travel to the home universe of a dimensional horror has got to be the funniest one though

My favorite is the Toxic God ending

@@TheRedKing I guess it might simply be game design, if the contingency spawned at any point during cosmogenesis it’s likely both the player and AI would not be ready to face it. Since going as a player crisis doesn’t prohibit the endgame crisis from spawning it would be interesting to see if cosmogenesis (depending on how far down the tree the player has gone by endgame start date) has an increased or guaranteed chance of spawning the contingency. Maybe the contingency has unique dialogue for a cosmogenesis empire. It could also be a simple oversight by the devs since it’s been like what, 6 years since the Contingency was added. I thought they would’ve updated the contingency with the machine age but it seems not. However it is interesting that two of the fallen empire buildings are class 3 and class 4 singularities. They reference gravitational singularities, and since the ending of cosmogenesis has you go through a black hole perhaps the class 30 singularity is crossing into Sagittarius A which seems to be a doorway into the shroud. Perhaps entering the shroud weakens the barrier between the shroud and our dimension, especially as the physical effects on our universe is tremendous. I mean other than the use of force there’s also nothing the contingency can do to stop a cosmogenesis empire. The synaptic lathe uses minds to power itself which could indicate using psionic power, which seems to be beyond the understanding of even the contingency. Cosmogenesis does in fact heavily impact the galaxy and possibly even the universe though after leaving which may be the fear of the contingency as it may know it’s in a simulation and an empire attempting such a feat as a cosmogenesis empire could be it fearing that the simulation would be broken by such an empire. I mean if that’s the case they’re not wrong, time seemingly stops working for 30 days and there’s mass devastation in a post cosmogenesis galaxy and likely universe, but it doesn’t stop the simulation.

It would be an actually war in heaven, unlike the namesake which is really just a space war

i chose gargantua for my first attempt to leave the universe, and it sounds like i made the best choice. it was a 50/50 with the Great Wound

Good lore, I get the normal ending in Cosmogenesis crisis, I think I will try others.

I wasn't aware that there were multiple endings. But I find the wyrm in waiting or dimensional horror ones fascinating and terrible. Stealing the infinity machines thunder seems like a kind of poetic justice. But, the most interesting by far, is the toxic god turning your needle into a lance and heading out on a never ending crusade.

My friends and I have been wanting a big late game expansion for a long time. The Toxic god lore suggesting being able to go to war with the shroud gods sounds awesome. I hope that they change the current End Game Crisis's and events to be "Late Game" and add End Game where it's fighting Gods, the Hunters of the Prethorian, etc

Also, is there a difference in the Terminal Egress one if you're a Nanite Ascension or is it the same regardless?

Didn't check, but assume no

do you know if the blackhole from azilash if the formless die has a unique ending? just saw that when defeated it becomes a blackhole last night since someone else got it first and that AI was not good enough - now wondering if i end the game with it or gargantua

Hi, i like your Video :) the content ist very good But i have a question to a specific black Hole which wasn't in your list. There is a Option when you kill an Dimensional Horror (Like the elder one) to get the Leviathan Parade "horrific inverse mass". In the worst case the parade planet becomes a little black hole. Is it possible to fly in with the Horizon needle? And if it is which event do you get? Thank you :)

Thanks! I think in that case you'd get the horror outcome, but haven't tested it myself

Now I’m curious what happens (if anything at all) when you have a covenant with the eater of worlds while entering the central black hole. (Edit: I’m sorry I said the wrong name. I meant the end of the cycle.)

@@TheRedKing Oh. Wait. I meant the end of the cycle. My bad. I constantly mix the two up.

I wonder if there is an alternate one if the infinity machine shrinks the blackhole.

With this context I wonder if the ultimate directive of the infinity machine was to create a new universe for the beings that created it to inhabit.

There are so many of ending and so many avaiable only with another DlCs. Also are there any more undiscovered ones?

I *think* I got them all :)

wonder if the next expansion would allow us to leave our home galaxy and conquer a another galaxy like Star War's You Zong Vong? in a way this kind of like become the crisis 2.0. this would be an interesting story.

Btw did you try diving into a blackhole created by a star eater? Was it any different?

I did not, but I suspect what I found in the event files means it will just be a default ending

Wow. Toxic God finally has an ending? That's pretty cool.

Just asking, but did you check if there is anything if you align with The End of the Cycle and then needle the black hole before the timer expires?

Big fish in a small pond, huh…

Hm... I think i know my next playthrough Psyonic rift world, first the new crisis ending, then leaving the galaxy

At this point the kardashev scale no longer applies to stellaris

what happens if your covenant is with the end of the cycle? is it even possible to combine the two?

@valjamin8456

If there were an ending for a covenant with the End of the Cycle, it would almost certainly be that your horizon needle gets consumed and integrated into the End. This is the Deep Shroud Entity that consumes entire galactic Shallow Shrouds along with their resident deities through Aethrophesic Engines for a living after all! Consuming a puny ark ship that's connected to it should be no problem for the End.

What if you choose end of the cycle, got ended then made a comeback and then enther the supermassive black hole? Would end the cycle still be welcoming?

What about Pantagruel? Is it still same as infinity machine one?

Well, I found yet another ending. Yesterday I finished mashine playthrou, and I hacked the infinity machine, used the gargantua black hole, and... There was no infinity machine on the other side. The rest of the text was pretty much the same.

Curious... What about the Black Hole that can form from the Broken Gates archaeological site? A Dimensional Horror-like entity emerges from said black hole, but the player has the option of befriending it. It isn't purely malevolent, and gives a research boost if you ally with it.

From what I gather then, use the L Cluster or Great Wound. Otherwise, the cosmogenesis was a mistake
