The Forbidden Tomes of Olipos Endings Guide
Five clear routes, Desire gauge rules, and post-clear resets.
Five endings, one finale
The Forbidden Tomes of Olipos resolves into five endings after you defeat Zahal & Olipos on the Sealed Isle. Three branches are chosen from Romina’s home catalog via Return to Capital. Two character endings come from special NPC talks instead. Track boxes with the Ending Checklist. Systems after clear: New Game Plus. Finale route: Sealed Isle.
This page uses soft language. Adult route depth is summarized through the Desire gauge (in-game 淫欲度) and purity flags—not graphic detail.
Preconditions
- Sealed Isle finale cleared (Zahal & Olipos down)
- Access to Fulah home interactions
- For Chief / Toma endings: prior event stages already viewed (you can finish those after the finale if you return before locking another ending)
If the catalog does nothing, confirm Cattleya / Mottl / ferry flags (Story Overview).
Ending 1 — Good Ending
How: At home, check the catalog → choose Return to Capital.
Requirements:
- Purity preserved (no non-purity flag)
- Desire gauge ≤ 20
This is the clean return-to-Granseria bookshelf ending. Players protecting it should avoid long Desire ladders and finish threatening field encounters quickly (Enemies & Farming).
Ending 2 — Desire Ending
How: Catalog → Return to Capital.
Requirements:
- Non-purity state
- Desire gauge at 100
Soft note: this branch reflects a fully committed Desire-route profile, not a single accidental talk. Use recollection later if you want to review scenes without re-fielding every flag.
Ending 3 — Normal Ending
How: Catalog → Return to Capital.
Requirements: Any state that is neither Good nor Desire—i.e., you fail the purity+low-Desire pair and you also fail the non-purity+100 pair.
Normal is the wide middle shelf. Many first clears land here without trying.
Ending 4 — Village Chief Ending
How: After the finale, talk to the Village Chief → choose to accept living in / live-in arrangement (wording may vary slightly by localization).
Requirement: Prior chief bedroom event stage 3 already completed (the final stage of that NPC ladder). Without stage 3, the live-in option will not resolve this ending.
Desire thresholds and earlier chief stages exist; chase them intentionally if this is your target (Villagers).
Ending 5 — Toma Ending
How: After the finale, talk to Toma’s mother → choose to become guardian / take responsibility as offered.
Requirement: Prior school event flag completed on Toma’s route (the late school-stage event). Side support: Charm Bikini from the Ripool cactus errand helps open earlier Toma lake steps (Side Quests), but the school flag is still mandatory.
Catalog versus NPC endings
| Ending | Trigger | Key condition |
|---|---|---|
| Good | Catalog → Return to Capital | Purity + Desire ≤ 20 |
| Desire | Catalog → Return to Capital | Non-purity + Desire 100 |
| Normal | Catalog → Return to Capital | Neither Good nor Desire |
| Village Chief | Talk chief → accept live-in | Chief bedroom stage 3 done |
| Toma | Talk Toma’s mother → become guardian | School event flag done |
You do not need to juggle these mid-dungeon. After Zahal & Olipos, you can still complete missing NPC stages, adjust Desire with remaining events (or reset—below), then pick a door.
White Order Stone (after any ending)
Clearing any ending grants the White Order Stone. Use it to:
- Reset Desire gauge to 0
- Clear related event flags back to an unused state
Then choose:
- New Game Plus with carryover (levels, gear, items—confirm the on-screen list), or
- Return to pre-ending to keep filing scenes / medals / alternate endings
This is how completionists shelf all five routes without maintaining five blind saves.
Recollection and mock battles
After the finale, the home book route into the recollection room expands. Beyond scene replay, mock battles unlock against training foes such as slime, pink roper, and goblin variants—handy for testing kits or Desire-combat habits without re-clearing Mt. Sion (New Game Plus).
Practical hunt plan
- Beat the isle with a real kit (Final Boss Prep, Boss Fights).
- Decide Good vs Desire vs Normal vs character endings.
- Finish Chief stage 3 or Toma school flag if needed.
- Sweep medals if pride demands (Medal Rewards).
- Trigger one ending deliberately.
- Use White Order Stone + return / NG+ for the rest.
What does not change endings
Random trash grind alone will not flip catalog math. Skipping Cattleya or Mottl can block the finale entirely—that is incomplete progress, not a secret sixth ending. Multiplayer branches do not exist.

Closing index card
Endings are catalog cards for a finished expedition: one capital return stamped Good, Desire, or Normal; two village signatures if Chief or Toma’s mother accept your choice. File one, hold the White Order Stone, and reshelve the Desire gauge when you are ready for the next stamp—never let a curious catalog click choose for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for librarians chasing forbidden tomes.
How many endings are there?
Five: Good, Desire, Normal, Village Chief, and Toma. Track them with the [Ending Checklist](/tools/ending-checklist/).
How do Good, Desire, and Normal differ?
All use catalog → Return to Capital. Good needs purity and Desire ≤ 20; Desire needs non-purity and Desire 100; Normal is neither.
How do I get the Village Chief Ending?
Finish chief bedroom event stage 3, beat the finale, then talk to the chief and accept the live-in option.
How do I get the Toma Ending?
Finish Toma's school event flag, beat the finale, then talk to Toma's mother and choose to become guardian.
What does the White Order Stone do?
After any ending, it resets Desire to 0 and clears event flags so you can chase other routes via NG+ or return-before-ending.
