Step by step

  1. Return to the Map Room and inspect incomplete markers.
  2. Recover unused red pieces and all purple rewards.
  3. Finish the purple-area challenges.
  4. Follow the completion route for Big Game.

Why players get stuck here

The first ending unlocks Big Goodbye, but it is not the same requirement as completely finishing the game.

First ending versus full completion

The first ending confirms that the main route is finished and awards Big Goodbye. Full completion is a separate cleanup goal: check the Map Room for unresolved normal challenges, recover any rewards left on the ground, then work through the seven purple challenges. Keep the original host because the island state belongs to that save.

If the group only wants the authored main journey, it is reasonable to stop at the first ending; Big Game is the completionist target.

Verify it before moving on

Before leaving the area, confirm that the reward or key has actually registered with its receiver. Big Walk often represents progress with physical objects, so solving the interaction and banking the result are separate steps.
