Sovereign Tower Act 3 Endings and Demon Satisfaction

Sovereign Tower ends its first reign in Act 3 when the Emperor ultimatum lands around Cycle 45. Wild Wits then asks you to pick a closure that your dominant Sovereign style actually unlocked — not a menu of every fantasy at once. Curve Games launched the solo Round Table RPG on August 6, 2026. Mid-August community sheets (cross-checked after launch week) now name the main outcomes: War, Extended War, Peace, Peace with Key, Marriage, Surrender, and Tower Destruction. This page states those names with a spoiler warning instead of pretending the list is still unknown.

Heavy Act 3 spoilers below. If you only want structure, stay on Full Campaign Structure and Act 3 Walkthrough. Pair this page with Sovereign Archetypes, Romance, and New Game Plus.

Cycle 45 — what actually happens

The Emperor forces a decision. Your highest style track (or a tie / no dominant style) decides which closures the Demon and court will honour. Mid-August tables agree on this availability map:

Dominant style	Endings you can reach
None / tied	War, Tower Destruction
Tyrannic	War, Extended War, Tower Destruction
Audacious	War, Marriage, Peace with Key, Tower Destruction
Kind	War, Surrender, Peace with Key, Tower Destruction
Wise	War, Peace, Surrender, Extended War, Tower Destruction

Read the table twice. Marriage is Audacious-only. A Kind or Wise ruler who spent the campaign courting Oliver still cannot take the political marriage finale unless Audacious is the winning track. A Neutral save that never committed a style is locked into War or Tower Destruction — that is why Sovereign Archetypes belong in week one, not week forty-four.

Peace with Key needs the Golden Key on an Audacious or Kind run. Plain Peace sits on the Wise column. Surrender is Kind or Wise. Extended War is Tyrannic or Wise. War and Tower Destruction appear on every row — they are the fallbacks when you refuse a softer close or never built the item/style pair a gentler ending wants.

Sovereign Tower — Demon time rewind feature

Romance slides versus the main ending

The main finale and the character goodbye slides are different systems. Completing Love Is All does not auto-pick Marriage. Mid-August sheets list romance-changed slides for Gideon, Gwendan, Ursula, Brunhilda, Ligia, Oliver, Rowan, Carina, Belladonna, and the Lady of the Tower. Oliver’s recruit gate still lives on How to Get Oliver; Brunhilda’s still on How to Get Brunhilda.

Multi-romance penalties can wipe a slide you thought you earned. Court one target. Feed favourite meals on Cooking so a resignation does not delete the goodbye you wanted.

How endings still read the rest of the save

Style is the gate. Tone still comes from:

• Faction standing — Merchants, Mystics, Scholars, Nobles, People, Treasury (Factions)
• Knight survival — deaths and resignations remove voices (Knight Loyalty)
• Secret content — missing Chester or Victoria changes who speaks (Secret Knights, How to Get Victoria)
• Seat choices — Act 3’s ten-chair cap means Gothild, Edith, Ari, and Epicrate compete; see How to Get Gothild and Recruit Knights

Two Audacious saves can both unlock Marriage and still feel unlike each other if one fed People and the other starved them for three acts.

The Demon satisfaction prompt

After credits, the Demon in the crypts asks whether you are satisfied with your ending. That question is the NG+ lobby, not a cosmetic button:

1. Satisfied — return toward title flow; late Act 3 saves may still let you try another close.
2. Not satisfied / another reign — start a knowledge-aware replay with partial carry-over (New Game Plus).

Mid-act rewinds still work in a second reign. Endings do not remove crypt mechanics — they add a meta-choice on top. Brunhilda recruitment still uses mid-act rewinds, not this finale prompt.

What carries versus what resets

Carries (review + community NG+ notes):

• Player knowledge and dialogue that acknowledges prior timelines
• Sovereign attributes / archetypes persist in part
• Unlock intel — Witch, trainers, secret locations found earlier

Resets:

• Faction meters restart
• Story state replays the acts — deaths and alliances are not frozen history

Exact inventory rules stay community-mapped. Prefer Steam threads dated after August 6, 2026 and Updates Hub after patches. Numbered Steam notes still top out at Patch 1.0.8 as of mid-August 2026.

Planning weeks before Cycle 45

1. Pick the style that unlocks the close you want — Audacious for Marriage, Wise for plain Peace, Kind or Wise for Surrender.
2. If you want Peace with Key, finish the Golden Key before the ultimatum week.
3. Stabilise factions off revolt floors unless you still need Daguez.
4. Clear pending emergencies so timers do not collide with Act 3 spikes (Emergency Quests).
5. Finish the one romance you will credit toward Love Is All (Achievements).
6. Leave seats for the late prizes you actually want on this save — Edith, Ari, Epicrate, Gothild.

Endings versus Demon rewinds

Mechanic	When	Purpose
Crypt rewind	Any unlocked morning	Undo a bad day or branch
Act 3 ending	Cycle 45 ultimatum	Resolve first-reign narrative
NG+ prompt	After Act 3 credits	Start second reign with carry-over

Confusing these three wastes saves. A rewind will not change which style row you sit on if you never accumulated the track.
