Conquering Detroit: A Totally Not Serious Guide to Getting the Best Ending (Because Seriously, This Game is Stressful)
So you wanna be a hero, huh? In the neon-drenched nightmare that is Detroit: Become Human, that ain't exactly a walk in the park (especially if you're playing as Kara and have to wrestle your way through a bus terminal with a grumpy toddler). But fear not, fellow gamer, for I, your friendly neighborhood existential crisis consultant (because let's be honest, this game will give you one), am here to help you snag that sweet, sweet best ending.

| How To Get The Best Ending In Detroit Become Human |
Kara: Basically Becoming a Mom on the Run (But Way More Metal)
- Rule #1: Protect Alice at All Costs. This little girl is basically made of sugar and spice and everything nice, and keeping her safe is your top priority. Think of yourself as a real-life Sarah Connor, but instead of battling cyborgs, you're dodging robo-cops and avoiding creepy android scrap yards.
- Luther: Not-So-Secret Weapon (Unless You Mess Up). This gentle giant is your best shot at getting to Canada. Just be sure to keep him alive and on your good side. Remember, a happy Luther is a helpful Luther. An angry Luther might throw you to the wolves (or, you know, angry androids).
Bonus Tip: While violence can sometimes solve problems, it can also lead to some seriously messed up situations (like robo-toddler fights. Yikes). Try to be diplomatic whenever possible. Think of it as negotiation practice for when you finally reach Canada and have to convince Tim Hortons to give you all the donuts.
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
Markus: From Humble Househelper to Robo-Spartacus (But Hopefully Less Stabby)
- Public Image is Key, Dude. You want the humans to see androids as equals, right? So ditch the whole "smash everything" mentality. Peaceful protests are your friend. Think Martin Luther King Jr., but with a shiny new chassis.
- Keep Jericho Happy (and Alive). These are your robot buddies, and you need them. Do your assigned tasks, fight the good fight (but try not to get everyone killed), and maybe even give encouraging speeches. Just be sure to avoid turning into a dictator. Nobody likes a power-hungry android, especially not other androids.
Pro-Tip: There's a grumpy police lieutenant named Hank who might just become your best friend (or at least grudging ally). Be nice to him, even if he yells a lot. Trust me, a friendly deviant Connor is way cooler than a ruthless terminator one.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.

Connor: From Cold-Blooded Machine to...Well, a Less Cold-Blooded Machine?
- Question Authority (But Not All the Time). You're an RK800 Connor, a prototype designed to hunt deviants. But hey, maybe there's more to life than following orders. Be inquisitive, explore your options, and don't be afraid to break the rules a little (especially if it helps the other two).
- Hank Likes His Coffee Strong (and Maybe You a Little Less Stiff). Similar to Markus, building a rapport with Hank is crucial. Listen to his gripes about his dead son, have a decent conversation that doesn't involve interrogation techniques, and maybe even lay off the whole "I am Connor, the android sent by CyberLife" thing. It gets old.
Remember: The best ending requires cooperation. These three characters' stories are intertwined, so be mindful of your choices throughout the game. Helping one character can have a ripple effect on the others.
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
FAQ:
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
- How do I know if I'm on the right track? Pay attention to the public opinion meter for Markus' story. A positive opinion means you're doing well on the revolution front. For Kara and Connor, keeping their companions alive and happy is a good sign.
- What if I accidentally made a terrible choice? Don't worry, the game offers plenty of branching paths. Just reload a previous save point and try again!
- Is there more than one "best" ending? Technically, yes. There are a few variations depending on your choices throughout the game. But all the good endings involve our heroes achieving their goals (and hopefully staying alive in the process).
- Do I need to be a gaming pro to get the best ending? Nope! This guide should equip you with the basic knowledge. Just remember to use your best judgment and have fun along the way. Even if you mess up, the story is still fantastic.
- Will I cry during this game?
