All 20 Endings & Branching Routes Guide
Unlike ordinary incremental simulators that loop blindly, [⚔️ARENA] Re:Zero Incremental features a deep branching narrative with 7 Arcs, 26 Chapters, and 20 distinct Endings. Your dialogue choices, combat decisions, and interactions with the Book of Wisdom dictate which canonical or alternate “IF” timeline your character concludes in.
How Story Loops Function
In this game, you do not reset by clicking a button in the settings. You reset by beating the story. When you navigate your character through the chapters and reach an ending threshold, the world timeline resets. You are awarded Rebirth Points based on your progress, allowing you to re-enter Chapter 1 with higher permanent damage multipliers to hunt for rarer ending branches.
Major Branching IF Routes
Inspired by Tappei Nagatsuki's celebrated Re:Zero IF web novel chapters, the game lets you diverge into five primary thematic pathways:
The Canon Route (Envy / True Path)
Cooperation & SacrificeThe standard path of struggling against destiny, relying on companion trust to overcome overwhelming odds.
The Greed Route (Kasaneru / Echidna)
Infinite Knowledge & Calculated ResetEmbracing endless deaths as a disposable tool, running thousands of loops to calculate the one perfect timeline.
The Cold / Wrath Route (Oboreru / Purge King)
Paranoia & Black-and-White CertaintyDistrusting everyone in Lugunica, seeing the world as colored solely in monochrome threat levels.
The Sloth Route (Rem IF / Kararagi Peace)
Escape & Peaceful ResignationAbandoning the royal selection battle entirely to build a quiet life in the eastern merchant city of Kararagi.
The Pride Route (Ayamatsu / Witch Cult Scourge)
Single-Minded ObsessionBurning the world to the ground so that one silver-haired maiden can sit upon the throne of Lugunica.
Tips for Ending Hunters
1. Treat Each Loop as an Experiment
Because you keep all trained stats across deaths, you do not need to play safe. Whenever you start a new loop, deliberately pick dialogue options you have not tried before to discover new branch paths.
2. Acquire the Book of Wisdom
In mid-game story chapters, search for side quests that reward the Book of Wisdom. Inspecting this item in your inventory provides cryptic hints toward hidden ending branches.
3. Cash in Before the Ending Screen
Once you enter the final boss room of an Arc, spend every remaining Coin in your Training tab. Any unspent Cash disappears when the ending screen awards your Rebirth Points.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many endings exist in Re:Zero Incremental?
The game features 20 distinct endings spread across its 7 story arcs and 26 branching chapters. Reaching each ending unlocks unique titles, achievement multipliers, and permanent Rebirth Points.
How do you trigger a story loop in Re:Zero Incremental?
To trigger a full reset loop, you must beat the final chapter of a story arc. When your run reaches an ending, the game rewards you with Rebirth Points and sends your character back to Chapter 1 with all trained stats and masteries intact.
What does the Book of Wisdom do?
The Book of Wisdom is a special lore artifact obtained in later arcs. When used during critical story checkpoints, it reveals the necessary decision branches required to unlock alternate IF routes (like the Greed or Cold routes) rather than defaulting to the standard canon ending.
Why do I keep getting the Cold Route?
The Cold Route is the default fail-safe branch when your character makes isolationist or defensive choices during Chapter 1-3 crossroad dialogues. To break out of it, ensure you recruit key companions like Rem or Reinhard early and select cooperative dialogue branches.
