Ending Path Planner
Every ending in BLOODMONEY: Requiem is decided by shop purchases you make before you know the full outcome. This page is a simple planner to check before you buy anything past the Hammer, since that purchase is the one you can't undo mid-run.
Pick Your Target First
| If you want… | Buy up to | Never buy |
|---|---|---|
| Good Ending | Hammer | Scissors, Match, Knife, Gun |
| Normal Ending | Knife (via Scissors, Match) | Gun |
| Bad Ending | Gun | — |
| Requiem dialogue branch (Eun-mi) | Scissors — then answer Harvey when he catches them | Staying silent at that moment, if you want the call specifically |
The Decision Point That Matters
The Scissors purchase is the fork in the road for every path above except the Good Ending. Before you buy them, decide whether you're aiming for the Normal Ending, the Bad Ending, or the Requiem branch — once they're bought, the Good Ending is gone for that run, permanently.
Checklist Before You Buy Scissors
- Confirm you're not still going for the Good Ending — see the Good Ending guide if you are.
- Decide in advance whether you'll answer Harvey or stay silent when he catches them, since that choice comes immediately and without warning — see the Requiem Campaign Guide.
- Know that Match and Knife are optional after Scissors for the Normal Ending, but the Gun is a separate $20,000 commitment on top of everything else if you want the Bad Ending instead.
If You Want to See Multiple Endings
Because the three original-campaign endings are independent per run, seeing all of them means replaying from the start each time rather than branching from a save. Players who want a clean record of each ending generally run Good, then Normal, then Bad in that order, so each purchase's cost is understood before the next run raises the stakes — the full breakdown of what each purchase costs and pays is on the Items & Shop Guide.
Use this planner as a checklist, not a walkthrough — the actual weight of each choice in BLOODMONEY: Requiem comes from making it yourself, one purchase at a time.
