You can see all three Lenneth endings in **Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth**, but you need to plan for it. Each ending is a separate route, so one playthrough won't show you everything the game offers. Three different endings are available if you want to see everything Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth has to offer [\[1\]](https://www.thegamer.com/valkyrie-profile-lenneth-ending-requirements-guide/?ref=idleweekend.net). For more detail, see [Valkyrie Profile Lenneth Walkthrough PDF](https://idleweekend.net/valkyrie-profile-lenneth-walkthrough-pdf/).

Because the endings split apart, it helps to decide on your goals before you start. Knowing which ending you want first tells you which choices to make along the way and when to save. Picking one target and returning for the others later keeps the process manageable.

This article covers what each ending involves, what you have to do to reach it, and how to plan your runs. For the full chapter-by-chapter walkthrough, see the pillar guide, **Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth walkthrough PDF**.

## How many endings does Lenneth have, and how do they differ?

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth has three endings, and you need to see all of them if you want everything the game offers. [\[1\]](https://www.thegamer.com/valkyrie-profile-lenneth-ending-requirements-guide/?ref=idleweekend.net) Each ending is a separate outcome, so it helps to know what each one involves before you commit to a route.

### The mercenary ending

One of the three endings centers on the mercenary. In it, he faces Lenneth while his powers are only half enhanced. [\[2\]](https://valkyrieprofile.fandom.com/wiki/Lenneth?ref=idleweekend.net) That detail sets the tone of the scene: he is not at full strength when he meets her, so the encounter is more personal than a straight contest of power.

Lenneth does more than defeat him in words or in battle. She warns him to stop depending on the dark energy and repent. [\[2\]](https://valkyrieprofile.fandom.com/wiki/Lenneth?ref=idleweekend.net) Her message is the heart of this ending, so read the dialogue closely instead of skipping ahead through it.

### Why this ending stands out

This ending is built around one character and one encounter. That gives it a narrow focus compared with a story that spreads its weight across the whole party. If the mercenary's story is the part you care about most, this is the ending that answers it directly.

The moment works because it asks him to change, not just to lose. Lenneth's warning turns a fight into a choice about what he relies on. Watching how he responds gives the scene its meaning, and it is the detail most worth remembering when you compare this ending with the others.

## What do you have to do to reach the final ending?

To reach the final ending, you have to go to the end of the tower and defeat Lezard. [\[3\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/199175-valkyrie-profile/faqs/44047?ref=idleweekend.net) Everything in this final stretch builds toward that fight, so treat the boss as your main goal rather than a side task.

Think of the last push as one trip up the tower. Avoid drifting into side tasks or backtracking once you're heading up. Each choice on the way should help you arrive at Lezard in the best shape you can manage.

Start preparing early. Make party and equipment decisions before you enter the final dungeon, so you aren't rushing them at the last moment. For example, if you know a character will need to be healthy for the boss, don't spend your last healing items on a minor fight along the way.

Say you're partway up and two party members are running low on health. Heal them before you press on, rather than hoping they last until the top. Every battle you skip past at low strength makes the boss harder to face.

Defeating Lezard is the step that leads to the ending. [\[3\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/199175-valkyrie-profile/faqs/44047?ref=idleweekend.net) Once you reach the top, the rest of the final stretch is about getting ready for that one battle. Keep your characters ready and your resources saved for the fight itself, so you enter it focused.

If boss fights are new to you, the combat tips article in this cluster covers the battle system and how to prepare for bosses.

## What happens in the mercenary ending?

The mercenary ending is a single confrontation, and it turns on his power. He faces Lenneth while his powers are only half enhanced, so he meets her weaker than he could be. [\[2\]](https://valkyrieprofile.fandom.com/wiki/Lenneth?ref=idleweekend.net)

Lenneth's response is aimed at where that power comes from. She tells him to stop relying on dark energy and to repent. [\[2\]](https://valkyrieprofile.fandom.com/wiki/Lenneth?ref=idleweekend.net) The scene is less about who wins a fight and more about whether he keeps leaning on dark energy or turns away from it.

Pay attention to her words, because they carry the ending's message. She is not simply telling him to fight harder. She is telling him to change how he has been living and what he has been drawing on. Her exact wording carries most of the meaning, so read it closely when you reach this scene.

The half-enhanced state matters for the same reason. He is not at full strength, so the scene asks him to face her with what he has left, and with his dependence on dark energy exposed. Her warning ties those two ideas together, which is why the confrontation feels personal rather than purely mechanical.

Think of this ending as a question about the character rather than a test of stats. Lenneth's words set the tone, and the battle is the setting for that message.

The Valkyrie Profile wiki on Fandom describes this scene, and the details above come from that description. [\[2\]](https://valkyrieprofile.fandom.com/wiki/Lenneth?ref=idleweekend.net) If you want the full order of events around the ending, the chapter-by-chapter walkthrough in this cluster covers it.

## Is it safe to leave the dungeon before the ending?

### Short answer

Yes, you can leave the dungeon before the ending, but it is risky. The endings guide describes leaving as dangerous [\[3\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/199175-valkyrie-profile/faqs/44047?ref=idleweekend.net), so treat a trip out as a real decision, not a free break.

### Why cutscenes matter

The same guide warns that watching a cutscene outside the tower can change how the ending plays out [\[3\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/199175-valkyrie-profile/faqs/44047?ref=idleweekend.net). The source's wording is "Watching any cutscene outside the tower will make" [\[3\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/199175-valkyrie-profile/faqs/44047?ref=idleweekend.net), so think of any scene you trigger outside the tower as something that can affect your route.

This matters most when you want a specific ending. If you go out for a scene you did not plan, you may end up on a path you did not intend.

### Plan your leaving and returning first

Decide before you start which ending you want, then map out when you will leave and when you will come back. A simple plan could look like this:

1. Pick the ending you are aiming for.
2. Finish the current floor before you leave, so you do not stop halfway through a fight.
3. Leave only for a reason that fits your route, such as a planned break you have already thought about.
4. Return to the tower and continue from the same point, without triggering extra scenes on the way.

For example, say you reach a tough floor and want a rest. Stop at the end of the floor, save, and step away. Do not wander through optional scenes while you are out, because that is exactly the kind of cutscene the warning covers [\[3\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/199175-valkyrie-profile/faqs/44047?ref=idleweekend.net).

A planned exit keeps your progress clean and helps you reach the ending you chose without surprises.

## How should you plan a run for each ending?

Choose the ending you want before you start, because the route you take depends on that choice. Picking a target early keeps you from spending hours on a branch you did not mean to follow.

Think of it as deciding your destination before you leave the house. A run aimed at one ending can be finished on its own, and you can return later for the rest. The game offers several endings to view if you want to see everything it has to offer, so it helps to plan that as a series of runs rather than one attempt. [\[1\]](https://www.thegamer.com/valkyrie-profile-lenneth-ending-requirements-guide/?ref=idleweekend.net)

### Map the route before you begin

Read the chapter-by-chapter walkthrough article in this cluster, Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth Walkthrough PDF, before you start. It lays out the order of events, so you can see where your chosen ending needs you to be before the final stretch.

Write down nothing you do not need. Keep one short note of the ending you picked and the chapter where you want to reach it, and refer to it when you hit a decision point.

### Keep the requirements in view near the end

The final stretch is where the ending requirements matter most. You have to go to the end and defeat Lezard. [\[3\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/199175-valkyrie-profile/faqs/44047?ref=idleweekend.net) Your earlier choices should already be set up for that fight, so plan the last chapters around it instead of treating the boss as a surprise.

If you want a second ending later, make a note of where your first run diverged. That way the next run starts from a clear point, not from memory.

## Which ending should you aim for first?

Your first goal in the final stretch is the boss at the end of the tower. You have to go to the end and defeat Lezard, and that fight is where every ending is decided [\[3\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/199175-valkyrie-profile/faqs/44047?ref=idleweekend.net).

Before you commit to that route, plan when you leave the dungeon and which cutscenes you watch. Leaving is risky, and watching any cutscene outside the tower can change the ending [\[3\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/199175-valkyrie-profile/faqs/44047?ref=idleweekend.net). Write your choices down as you go so you can back up if a choice goes wrong.

Pick one ending and aim for it on your first run. Once you have it, return for the others, and use the chapter-by-chapter walkthrough in this cluster to keep the order of events straight.
