- There are four distinct endings to uncover in Silly Polly Beast, all revealed after you defeat the final boss and face a critical decision at the end of Chapter 5. This choice boils down to either saving the world or leaving it behind, but the impact goes deeper depending on your relationship to the imp’s power throughout the game.
- Maintaining the imp’s power means preserving Polly’s horns and tail throughout your journey. While you can’t lose these traits before Chapter 4, the groundwork starts at the close of Chapter 3.
- Choosing to rid yourself of the imp’s power makes your journey more punishing, as each lost horn and the tail reduces Polly’s stamina, making combat notably tougher. However, the sequence to drop these traits is straightforward but unforgiving.
Silly Polly Beast carves its niche in horror gaming with an intriguing narrative that hinges on the player’s choices. The game’s multiple endings aren’t just about narrative closure—they reflect how your actions shape Polly’s fate in a world entwined with dark powers. Unlocking these endings reveals different fates for Polly, each tied to achievements and requiring thoughtful decision making, especially in the game’s tense later stages.
There are four distinct endings to uncover in Silly Polly Beast, all revealed after you defeat the final boss and face a critical decision at the end of Chapter 5. This choice boils down to either saving the world or leaving it behind, but the impact goes deeper depending on your relationship to the imp’s power throughout the game.
Here are the endings regrouped by their core requirements:
| Ending | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Leave This World A | Leave this world, freed from the imp’s power |
| Leave This World B | Leave this world without getting rid of the imp’s power |
| Save This World A | Save this world while retaining the full powers of the imp |
| Save This World B | Save this world without retaining the full power of the imp |
Notably, the ‘A’ endings require specific in-game choices to either retain Polly’s demonic horns and tail or remove them completely. Since the game doesn’t allow manual saves, expecting at least two full playthroughs is essential for experiencing every ending. Below, the methods for either keeping or shedding the imp’s power are outlined clearly.
Maintaining the imp’s power means preserving Polly’s horns and tail throughout your journey. While you can’t lose these traits before Chapter 4, the groundwork starts at the close of Chapter 3.
At Chapter 3’s end, Kai suffers a leg injury and asks for the demon tincture you acquire from the boss fight. Always choose to give it to him and Kato. This decision seems minor but ensures their return to aid Polly later, a key element for keeping your imp powers intact.
Chapter 4 introduces a treacherous orphanage filled with bear traps. Stepping on any one of these will permanently cost you one of Polly’s horns, a penalty that directly prevents obtaining the full-power endings. Carefully navigating this area without triggering these traps is a hallmark challenge for players aiming to save the world ‘with imp powers.’
Midway in Chapter 5, a sacrificial ritual must be undertaken. If you helped Kai and Kato earlier, they reappear to offer one of their horns. Accepting their help preserves Polly’s horns; refusing forces Polly to cut off her own horn, impacting which endings are available.
Following the ritual, defeat the final boss and choose to save the world to secure the ‘Save This World A’ ending, where Polly keeps her imp powers.
After performing the ritual, fight the final boss and continue until you reach the ending choice, selecting to save the abyss.
Choosing to rid yourself of the imp’s power makes your journey more punishing, as each lost horn and the tail reduces Polly’s stamina, making combat notably tougher. However, the sequence to drop these traits is straightforward but unforgiving.
To sacrifice your first horn, simply trigger a bear trap in the orphanage during Chapter 4. This leads to the caretaker forcibly removing one of Polly’s horns in a brutal cutscene. Avoid any further traps after this, since the next triggered trap results in an instant game over.
Losing your tail requires visiting the Strange Kiosk at any point you have access to it. Head to the bathroom section, locate the secret door on the right, and enter the Lost and Found shop. The shopkeeper offers 1000 dollars in exchange for your tail. If you sell it mistakenly during a run where you want the imp’s power, you can repurchase it for the same price later.
The final horn loss happens during the sacrifice ritual in Chapter 5. Reject Kai and Kato’s offered help, forcing Polly to perform the sacrifice herself. This completes the process of severing the imp’s influence.
Once you’ve lost all horns and the tail, you’re free of the imp’s power but face a stamina handicap in the climax fight. Defeat the final boss and opt to leave this world to trigger the ‘Leave This World A’ ending, reflecting Polly’s liberation from demonic influence.
Finally, you’ll need to get rid of your second horn. When performing the sacrifice ritual during Chapter 5, simply select no when Kai and Kato offer to help you. This will cause Polly to cut off her own horn for the ritual.
With no horn or tail, you will be completely freed from the power of the imp. This, of course, means you have next to no stamina for the final boss, but it’s still a doable fight. Once you have defeated them, choose to leave this world for your next endings.
