Silver Pines Endings: How to Get Leave, Rest and Live
Silver Pines has three endings: Leave, Rest and Live. All three start from the same choice with Eddie Velvet after the final boss, and you can get every ending on one save. Leave needs nothing extra; Live needs every Memento, and Rest needs two Gold Rings.
How many endings does Silver Pines have?
The ending names come from the game files and match the game's three ending achievements. The routes below come from player guides and a launch-day video, so treat the step details as reported. The developers said before launch that every ending can be reached on a single save file.
Light spoilers: the route sections name the people and places each ending needs. Nothing here describes what happens in an ending.
Silver Pines endings at a glance
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Endings | Three: Leave, Rest and Live. Evidence: The game files, build 25806663; checked October 8, 2026. Each has a Steam achievement: Ending: Leave, Ending: Rest and Ending: Live. |
| Where they start | The conversation with Eddie Velvet after the final boss. There is a phone nearby to save on first. Evidence: Two player guides and a launch-day video, October 7–8, 2026. |
| Leave | Choose to kill Eddie Velvet. Nothing to collect first. Evidence: Player guides and a launch-day video; the game's prompt reads "Kill Eddie Velvet?". |
| Live | Spare Eddie, collect every Memento, then burn them in the furnace by the Burnt Man. Evidence: Player guides and a launch-day video; the furnace prompt reads "Burn everything?". |
| Rest | Spare Eddie and bring two Gold Rings to the wall on the Rabbit Hole stage. One ring sits in a ring box that needs five Stars. Evidence: Player guides; the game files place five Stars and describe "a pair of perfectly ring shaped indents". |
| One save | All three endings can be reached on a single save. Evidence: A developer reply in the official Discord, October 1, 2026. |
Names, achievements and the five Stars come from the game files and Steam.
The routes come from player guides from launch week, and each ending's section below has the full steps.
Before the final choice: save first, then pick an order
The three endings split at one moment, so the easy way to see them all is to save before it and reload.
- Beat the final boss. Guides report a phone right after the fight that you can save on; use it. The beginner's guide to saving covers how saving works.
- Get Leave first. It needs nothing collected, so it is the fastest to see.
- Reload that save, spare Eddie, and go for Live or Rest, whichever you are closer to. You can do both from the same save once you have what each one needs.
If you are still exploring, there is no hurry: the developers said every ending can be reached on one save file. Live and Rest both send you back into the town after you spare Eddie, so you can collect what is missing then. For how long it takes to see everything, see the Silver Pines length breakdown.
How to get the Leave ending
Leave is the quickest of the three endings. It unlocks the Ending: Leave achievement.
What you need: nothing beyond reaching Eddie Velvet.
- After the final boss, save on the nearby phone and go right through the passage to Eddie Velvet.
- Talk to him until the game asks "Kill Eddie Velvet?", and answer yes.
- You end up outside the Miner Diner in the Outskirts. Answer the phone there.
- Get in your car to leave. The ending plays from there.
How to get the Live ending
Live takes the longest to prepare for, because of the Mementos. It unlocks the Ending: Live achievement.
What you need: every Memento. The game's achievement for finding them all, Burden of Memories, counts 25, and guides report needing all 25.
- Talk to Eddie Velvet, answer no when the game asks "Kill Eddie Velvet?", and walk away to the right. You are taken back to Downtown.
- One guide also has you climb the ladder to the right and talk to the person by the wrecked car. It takes a minute, so do it.
- Go back to the Outskirts and find the Burnt Man. If you have every Memento, he tells you to put them in the furnace. Talk until the conversation ends.
- Go into the shack next to him and use the furnace. Answer yes to "Burn everything?". The ending plays from there.
If the Burnt Man does not bring up the furnace, guides take that to mean you are still missing Mementos.
How to get the Rest ending
Rest asks the most of you and ends with an extra boss fight. It unlocks the Ending: Rest achievement.
What you need: two Gold Rings.
- Alice's ring. Guides report it only appears after you spare Eddie. Back in Downtown, go left to find Alice's body in the water and take the Gold Ring from her.
- The ring in the Locked Ring Box. The box is on the sink in the Miner Diner restroom in the Outskirts. Its lid is missing five Stars; put all five in to open it and take the second Gold Ring.
Then:
- Go to the Rabbit Hole, head behind the bar and onto the stage.
- Use the wall with "a pair of perfectly ring shaped indents" and put both rings in.
- You arrive in a different Rabbit Hole. Talk to the people there, restock at the storage box, and be ready for a chase and a boss fight with plenty of healing and ammo.
- After the fight, walk out through the door to finish the ending.
Where to find the five Stars
The game files place five Stars. Player guides describe how to get each one, and the interactive Silver Pines map shows where these places are:
- Rabbit Hole. On a table in the middle of the bar, the first time you get there.
- Crimson Bear Motel, Bungalo 3. The key to Bungalo 3 (Room 3) is in the Lighthouse in the Outskirts, which guides report you break into once you have the sledgehammer. The door code is on the Silver Pines puzzle solutions page.
- The Quiet Hour Cafe, Downtown. Later in the game, after the cemetery, next to a wounded man you met earlier.
- Thelend Exterior, top of the mountain. Talk to the girl in the yellow raincoat; you can take the Star from her afterwards.
- The hole by the caravan, Downtown. Once you have collected all the cable car bells, take the shovel from inside the caravan and dig further down the hole the man there has been digging.
Some guides say the box needs seven Stars. The game files have five, and the box has a state for each Star from none to five.
Is there a true ending in Silver Pines?
No ending is called the true ending in the game. The three endings are simply named Leave, Rest and Live, and each has its own achievement.
Players and guides tend to treat Rest as the best or final ending, because it asks the most of you: it needs both rings and the five Stars, and it ends with an extra boss fight. That is player opinion, not a label from the game. If you want the full picture, aim for all three.
What the endings unlock: game modifiers
Finishing Silver Pines in different ways unlocks game modifiers for your next game, the developers said before launch. The game files list twelve, each with the condition below, in the game's own words.
| Modifier | How to unlock it |
|---|---|
| Timer | Achieve any ending |
| Big Pockets | Achieve any ending after reaching max inventory capacity |
| Infinite Stamina | Achieve any ending after finding all of the coffee upgrades |
| Faster Sprint | Achieve 'Rest' ending in less than 8 Hours on Survival Horror difficulty or higher |
| 50% Health Regeneration | Achieve any ending with 40+ healing items used |
| Switchblade | Achieve 'Leave' ending |
| SMG Loadout | Achieve 'Rest' ending in 10 Hours or less on Survival Horror difficulty or higher |
| Magnum Loadout | Achieve 'Rest' ending in 10 Hours or less on Nightmare difficulty |
| Reusable Repair Kit | Achieve 'Rest' ending |
| Endless Ammo Pack | Achieve any ending on Survival Horror difficulty or higher with 0 Ranged Kills |
| Omega Rifle | Achieve 'Live' ending |
| One Hit Death Challenge | Achieve 'Rest' ending on Nightmare difficulty |
Each ending has a modifier of its own: Leave unlocks the Switchblade, Live the Omega Rifle and Rest the Reusable Repair Kit, and any ending unlocks the Timer. Five of the twelve need Rest, and five ask for Survival Horror or Nightmare, the two hardest of the four difficulties; the Silver Pines difficulty guide explains them. The timed ones are best tried on a later run, once you know the route.
Version notes and limits
This page covers the full game at launch, build 25806663. The ending names, modifiers and Star locations are read from that build; if a patch changes them, this page is updated.
The routes are from player guides and a video in the first days after launch. The game files we read name the endings and the modifier conditions, but not the exact checks the game makes for Live and Rest, so details such as whether Live needs anything besides the Mementos are not confirmed. The developers' replies quoted here are from before launch.
