Goblet of Mercy has multiple endings and achievements, but getting the one you want can be tricky because the goblet results are randomized. Your dialogue choices also affect the route, so picking the correct goblet alone may not be enough.
This Goblet of Mercy walkthrough covers the dialogue choices for each route, including the different Courtier endings. Save your game before choosing a goblet, so you can retry if you get the wrong outcome. You can also unlock the I see Nell Marks? achievement by playing through the game at least twice.
Goblet of Mercy: Important Tips
- Save before every goblet choice. The LEFT, CENTER, and RIGHT goblets can produce different results across playthroughs.
- Follow the dialogue choices carefully. Some endings depend on earlier conversations with Mara and Judy.
- Start a New Game for each route. This helps you follow the required dialogue options without mixing choices from another ending.
- Play at least twice. You can only unlock the I see Nell Marks? achievement during your second playthrough.

What to Do If You Get the Wrong Ending
If a goblet gives you an unexpected outcome, don’t think that you selected the wrong options. The game randomizes goblet results, so the same choice may lead to a different result on another run.
That’s why I recommend you save before every goblet selection and keep separate saves when possible. If an ending doesn’t trigger, replay the route and check your earlier dialogue choices before changing the goblet selection.
