Freedom Quest Finale
The Freedom Quest is now complete!
When the 21 days are over (or if you finish the quest early), you’ll receive a unique ending dialogue reflecting your choices.
If you fail, your character dies permanently and your save is lost.
If you succeed, you survive and live on as a citizen of the Space Safe Authority.
New Halloween Boss: The Headless
Spawns east of the Old Warehouse Cloud Save Station.
