How do you get the true ending?
Clear all three Hidden Ruins with every Tank, reach floor 100 of Bottomless Buffet, and defeat Lord Saltimatum.
Do you need every Relic for the true ending?
The evidence used for this guide does not establish collecting every Relic as a true-ending requirement, so it is not listed as one.
Is there a third ending?
No third ending route has been cross-checked in the current sources, so this guide documents only the main-story credits and floor-100 true-ending milestones.
