Total Chaos Good Ending Guide
Defy the narrator and unlock the true ending with our comprehensive step-by-step walkthrough
🎮 The Golden Rule
The key to unlocking Total Chaos's good ending is simple yet profound: always do the opposite of what the narrator tells you to do. Throughout your journey, the narrator's frustration serves as your guidepost – when he gets upset, you're on the right path.
📋 Essential Rules
❌ NEVER KILL Forgotten Ones
Enemies with missing faces (Forgotten Ones) must be spared throughout the entire game. Only exception is during the final boss fight when they die from boss attacks.
Corral them like Call of Duty zombies – create lines and run past, never engage.
⚡ ALWAYS COLLECT Fuses
Grab fuses whenever possible, even after using them. Multiple sections require fuse collection, and having extras may be crucial for unlocking achievements.
When in doubt, collect fuses – they're never wasted and often essential.
The Forgotten Ones - enemies you must avoid killing to achieve the good ending
📖 Chapter-by-Chapter Guide
Chapter 2: Decay - Hidden Cassette
Step 1: Navigate to the graveyard
Find and defeat the monster (use bricks to locate, then pistol to kill)
Step 2: Explore the bottom-left corner
Remove planks covering a hole and descend
Step 3: Find and listen to the cassette
Contains the mysterious message: "Tyler, please"
Chapter 3: Forgotten - Wall Break Strategy
Step 1: Complete hide-and-seek section
Collect three fuses to power the lever
Step 2: Pull lever, then recollect fuses
CRITICAL: Don't go through the gate yet – grab the three fuses again
Step 3: Fight Protector non-lethally
Lure near "they're gone" pillar, trigger blast attacks to break wall
Step 4: Power next lever and collect fuses again
Use your previously collected fuses, then grab them once more
Protector boss fight - damage but don't kill to trigger the wall-breaking blast attack
Chapter 4: Storm - Connector Wall
Step 1: Ignore narrator's instructions
Narrator says to burn connector wall – do the opposite
CRITICAL WARNING: Skip the save point
Using it locks you out of the good ending – must remain in madness state
Step 2: Enter store room
A secret wall appears only during madness – go through it
Step 3: Use record player after tunnel
Ground yourself to get armor and bypass connector wall
Secret wall that only appears during madness state - essential for progressing without burning connectors
Chapter 5: Crossroads - No-Save Challenge
DIFFICULTY WARNING: Complete chapter without saving
Must stay in madness state throughout entire chapter
Step 1: Answer all four phone calls
May be required for good ending – all are hard to miss:
- • Phone 1: By save point at start
- • Phone 2: After elevator, en route to wheel key
- • Phone 3: In room with three spider enemies
- • Phone 4: In library, right before puzzle
Step 2: Navigate entire chapter in madness
This may require multiple attempts – prepare for frustration
One of four crucial phone calls - answering all while maintaining madness state is essential
Chapter 6: Regression - Valve Puzzle
Step 1: Ignore all valve instructions
Narrator tells you to open valves – don't touch any of them
Step 2: Wait for narrator's confirmation
He'll get upset saying you missed valves – this confirms you're correct
Step 3: Close final valve at very end
Only valve to touch: close it to activate pumps
Final Chapter: Chaos - Last Stand
Step 1: Continue sparing Forgotten Ones
Narrator tells you to kill them – find alternate paths
Step 2: Final boss exception
Only kill Forgotten Ones during final boss when boss kills them – this doesn't affect ending
Final chapter chaos - navigate around Forgotten Ones without killing them to secure the good ending
🏆 Achievement Requirements
The good ending requires completing six specific requirements corresponding to six achievements. Each step in this walkthrough addresses one of these requirements.
Optional Tunnel Maze (Uncertain):
Some players claim you need to navigate a tunnel maze in darkness with flares. However, the original walkthrough couldn't complete this but still achieved the good ending. Try if possible, but may not be essential.
💡 Pro Tips for Success
📁 Save Management
Create multiple saves before critical decisions, especially before Chapter 5 where you cannot save at all.
Use Chapter 4 as your final save point before attempting the no-save challenge.
🎭 Narrator's Reactions
The narrator's frustration is your real-time confirmation that you're following the correct path.
When he says "This won't solve anything" or shows similar frustration, you're on track.
⚡ Resource Preparation
Always carry fuses and healing items. Chapter 5 may require multiple attempts due to the no-save constraint.
Stock up on supplies before attempting challenging sections.
🔄 Multiple Attempts
Chapter 5 is the most difficult part and may require several tries to complete without dying.
Patience is key – learn enemy patterns and memorize routes.
