Secret Ending (Requirements)

Find out how to unlock the Secret Ending in Reanimal. We detail all the necessary steps and collectibles, like the 5 Coffins, you need to find.

To unlock the coveted Secret Ending in REANIMAL, players must meet a very specific and stringent set of criteria, primarily revolving around the collection of the 5 Coffins. This ending is not merely a reward for general completion; it demands a focused and uninterrupted playthrough. The absolute requirement is to find all 5 Coffins within a single, continuous game session. If a player misses even one Coffin and attempts to backtrack or revisit a chapter to collect it later, the Secret Ending will not trigger. This mechanic emphasizes the game's des philosophy of rewarding dedicated exploration and careful attention to detail from the outset. Furthermore, the 5 Hidden Statues play a crucial role in a related mechanic: the 5th Hidden Statue will only illuminate and grant its associated Mask if all 5 Hidden Statues have been collected within the same run. While this is not directly tied to the Secret Ending itself, it highlights the game's emphasis on single-playthrough collection for certain rewards. The 5 Coffins are intrinsically linked to the Friends Reunited trophy, and their collection is the sole gateway to this special conclusion. The other collectibles, such as the 47 Secrets (including 18 Masks and 20 Posters), the 5 Critters, and the 10 Rest Your Legs items, while valuable for other trophies like Beneath the Mask, A Proper Gander, Critter Kill Hit, and Take a Load Off, do not directly influence the activation of the Secret Ending. However, their presence throughout the 9 chapters contributes to the overall immersion and understanding of the game's world, making the journey to find the Coffins all the more meaningful.
