Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fatesends our heroes in a half-shell on an all-new adventure to rescue Splinter from the clutches of Shredder and a mysterious new villain.Drawing obvious inspiration fromHades,Splintered Fatetrades the classic side-scrolling gameplay we have come to love for rogue-lite action.
Performing the perfect run to reach the end in a single sitting is challenging enough, but you must jump through some extra hoops to unlock the true ending inTMNT: Splintered Fate. This secret ending offers a complete conclusion to the storyline and is designed to be unlocked by only the most persistent players. Here’s what you need to do.
How to Unlock the True Ending in TMNT: Splintered Fate
First things first. It does not matterwhich turtle character you chooseinSplintered Fate, it takes quite a few runs until you’re able to even reach Shredder, let alone beat him. However, you would be wrong if you think beating Shredder the first time means beating the game. It only restarts the rogue-lite loop, encouraging you to start a new run to get even stronger.
Additionally, the mysterious new villain who kidnapped Splinter gives a subtle hint that the game is only just beginning.So what happens to Splinter?He remains trapped in the portal dimension even after you beat Shredder.
TMNT: Splintered Fatedoes not scale difficulty after you beat Shredder. Runs, as well as the optional challenge portals and gauntlets, remain the same, with enemies receiving random modifiers to make encounters unique.
The only way torescue Splinter and bring him home to the sewersis to unlock the true ending ofSplintered Fate.This is not an easy task. You need tobeat Shredder a total of eight timesto end the main campaign. You can choose any turtle character, but yourDragon Coin upgradespretty much determine how far you go.
Every time you beat Shredder, the mysterious villain will reward you with a Splinter trophy. Get all eight of them, and he will fulfill his promise of letting Splinter go.
What’s Next for Splintered Fate?
Even though you beat Shredder and rescued Splinter, there is still the matter of the new villain. Who is he really? What does he want? Unfortunately,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fatedoes not dive into that, at least not yet.
Following the true ending, the turtles mention their work is still not done. The game will likely pursue the storyline with more content in 2025 as part of itsDLC roadmap. Expect new playable characters to join the roster, new levels and bosses to beat, and “many more surprises” with further expansions.
