Get all demons, tackle all of the amala floors, but there's more.

Endings are determined via a system of points that you accumulate through the
game to lean you towards different Reasons.  There are six possibilities:
Musubi, Yosuga, Shijima, Neutral, Demon and True Demon.  In order to get any
of these ending, you must select the appropriate choices when faced with
decisions throughout the game.  For example, if Isamu asks if you agree with
him, selecting 'Yes' will obviously give you more points toward Musubi. 

There are, however, more important factors that 'flag' your specific Reason. 
These flags are the most important determinants of which ending you will get;
the points only come into play if you flag more than one Reason and you have
to select which of the two you will get.  The following is a small guide which
should help if you're trying to get a specific ending or where to flag each
particular Reason:

     Musubi - Activate flag in Amala Temple and Amala Network
     Shijima - Activate flag in Diet Building
     Yoguga - Activate flag in Mifunashiro
     Neutral - Choose 'good' honest answers for questions
     Demon - Choose 'bad' dishonest answers for question
     True Demon - Complete the Labyrinth of Amala before the final dungeon

Note: You cannot activate Musubi flags for Neutral and Demon endings

After defeating the boss of the game, you will see the ending for five of
those six; for the true demon you must first defeat one more special boss
before witnessing the endings.

The ending you want is True Demon.

funny. I thought getting all demons was required for True Demon.

damn, extra bosses are usually annoying. i just hope it doesnt feel like a chore.

[Himu]

I wasn't assed to get true demon. I went with nuetral because I'm a fucking pussy. 

[ananus]

did you get a good ending? the one thing that did piss me off about dds1 was the ending.

i read on gaf that the "best ending" was satisfying, but i'm not sure if i'll go through all of that without even knowing if it really is worth it.

[Himu]

Me either. That's why I didn't do it. I youtube'd it, and it seems it wasn't really worth it aside from brag rights.

I got the good ending.

[ananus]

oh well, if i'm not bored i'll give it a try and hope for the best. thanks again for the help.

[Himu]

np. I miss that SMT clique at gaf. 

[Mupepe]

Different endings?  I've only gotten one ending!
