True Ending Path
To unlock the final dungeon of the game, and the true ending path, reach any of the two final boss battles of the game, and lose the battle. Any choice or previous enemy defeated is inconsequential, as long as you trigger one of those battles. After being revived, head to the port south of Loutenreck at night, and talk to the guard to abandon your adventure. Instead of triggering the bad/giving up ending, these two conditions (having lost to a final boss, and talking at night) will prompt the guard to ask you to explore a new location instead. This location is the final dungeon of the game, which, when contains a lot of new artifacts, items, and challenges, and when completed gives closure to the game's story. If you have to leave it for whatever reason, you can just talk to the guard again at nights to access it again (talking during the day can still be used to trigger the bad ending). The true ending path can be accessed regardless of the bonus picked at the beginning of the game. Specifically, the Key of Time has some very vague hints to it, however it isn't necessary at all to trigger the events.
