The Thing 2 RPG *Spoiler Free* Story Mode Endings Guide.
Story Mode is unique in that it has 5 different endings (+2 Bonus Endings). Below is a spoiler free list detailing the conditions required to unlock the ending and what relic rewards you unlock.
It is worth noting that any relics found can be saved to a newgame+ file upon completion and carried over if they remain in the save file(s) data. (They can be retrieved from relic crates: NewGame+ Item Locations Guide)
