Endacopia Ending C Guide: Stay / Secret Route & Requirements

Ending C, the Stay route, is the most complicated documented outcome. The safest plan is to prepare the three Chapter I regions before their Boss endpoints, complete the Misery Town, Timesville, and Office secrets, then follow the late-game Clocky and Surgeon sequence. Several exact prerequisites remain disputed between community sources.

What is the safest documented route to Ending C?

Prepare each Chapter I region until its respective Boss route is available, then complete the three secrets before closing out the regions. The conservative order is A+B first, Toy Hand Saw, all three regional secrets, and then the late Clocky and Surgeon sequence, but A+B, Saw choice, and optional Boss requirements are not officially confirmed.

Stage	Safest documented action	Confidence
Prologue	Enter the Toilet route with Cheshire directly; this avoids the Clocky fight according to Neoseeker.	Disputed: Fandom says the Clocky choice does not matter.
Chapter I preparation	Push Circus, Office, and Timesville to their Boss gates without prematurely ending the areas.	Community route consensus
Secrets	Complete Misery Town, Timesville, and Office secrets.	✅ Multiple community sources
Saw	Use Toy Hand Saw for the safest documented attempt.	Disputed: Fandom and Neoseeker disagree about whether Real Saw also works.
Bosses	Record which of Trapezist, Chameleon, and AI you fight or avoid.	Disputed: sources disagree about whether all three must be fought.

The endings overview explains how this route differs from Ending A and Ending B. Keep a backup save before Boss choices if you are testing the disputed conditions.

How do I complete the Timesville Ending C secret?

Before finishing the Timesville route, collect all 18 fish, use the Metal Detector on the beach to find the Fish Paper, and obtain the Old Key. Use the key at the Dollhouse near the waterfall, enter the hidden route, and solve the graveyard CT-scan memory puzzle after entering the town as the butterfly.

1. Catch all 18 fish across the time periods. See the full walkthrough for the Fishing License route.
2. Use the Metal Detector on the beach sand to find the Fish Paper.
3. Use the resulting Old Key at the Dollhouse near the waterfall.
4. Enter the Dollhouse room and use the key on the window.
5. Visit the town as the butterfly and continue to the graveyard.
6. Match similar memories by clicking black dots in the CT scans.
7. Link the matching memories and repair the holes across the scans.

The inventory name is not fully settled: some sources say Fish Paper or Fishing Paper, while the current safest inventory wording is Fish Card. Do not publish a fixed fish-to-hour table without independent testing.

How do I complete the Misery Town Ending C secret?

Use the Metal Detector in the projector tent to find the remote, then use the remote on the projector. Follow the projected map into the mime tent, enter the darker Whack-a-Clown area, move up and left to change the environment, and go downstairs to complete the four clown or battery puzzles.

Step	Action
1	Search the projector tent sand with the Metal Detector.
2	Retrieve the remote and use it on the projector.
3	Follow the projected route inside the mime tent.
4	Enter the darker version of the Whack-a-Clown room.
5	Move up and left until the environment changes, then go downstairs.
6	Complete the four clown/battery puzzles.

What can I do if the fourth puzzle is blocked?

Fandom documents an Alt + Enter workaround: switch to windowed mode, move the cursor outside the game window, then bring it back from the opposite side. This is a community workaround, not a universal requirement, so verify the behavior on your own setup before presenting it as the standard solution.

How do I complete the Office Ending C secret?

At the train station before the Offices and Gambling Den, use the Telescope and write down the number shown. Call that number from the Office desk to trigger Morse code, decode the instruction, and follow it to the lower staircase beneath the vending machine. Complete the symbol puzzles there to finish the Office secret.

The currently documented clue chain is:

1. Telescope at the train station.
2. Call 277-5944 from the Office desk.
3. Read and decode the Morse message.
4. Follow the instruction to the lower staircase.
5. Complete the hanging-object symbol puzzles.

The community transcription records targets including $4, * → ^, $ ↔ ! followed by ! → %, % → !, |#^ + #! → #%, :^( → ;^), and ^5. Because the source transcription contains formatting and automatic-caption errors, use these as puzzle rules to investigate, not as a substitute for an in-game screenshot or current save test.

The Office Telescope secret is separate from the Timesville Telescope progression described in the walkthrough.

What happens after the three regional secrets?

After completing the three secrets, continue normally through the Chapter III house sequence. When you return to Mellow’s Room near the end, fight the later Clocky encounter and crawl through the opening. Follow the slopes to the Surgeon’s cave, read the book, and speak to the Surgeon before selecting Stop asking questions to trigger Ending C.

The Surgeon conversation can contain lore questions, but no single question order is documented as mandatory. The final interaction is the reliable route marker: finish asking questions, or choose not to ask, then use the stop-asking option to end the sequence.

Late-game marker	What to do
Mellow’s Room	Look for the familiar Clocky encounter.
Clocky	Fight Clocky and crawl through the opening.
Surgeon’s cave	Read the book and wait for the Surgeon to appear.
Conversation	Ask questions if desired, then choose Stop asking questions.
Achievement	The route unlocks Stay.

The Surgeon character guide provides related lore context. Do not describe Ending C as canon: the creator has not officially confirmed that status.

Which Ending C conditions are still disputed?

The three secrets and the Stay achievement are the stable core of the route. The following details should remain qualified in any published walkthrough because the new sources do not resolve their contradictions.

Condition	Current conclusion
Complete Ending A and B first	Safest documented order, but not a confirmed hard requirement.
Avoid Clocky in the Prologue	Neoseeker says yes; Fandom says it does not matter. Recommend Cheshire without calling it mandatory.
Use Toy Hand Saw	Neoseeker says Toy; Fandom says either Saw; use Toy for the safest attempt.
Fight Trapezist, Chameleon, and AI	Unresolved; community sources disagree.
Ending C is canon	No official confirmation.
