Ending 20 / Cast community route
How to Get the Cast Ending in The False Sun
Players usually search for this as the Cast ending rather than Ending 20. The strongest public community evidence points to intentionally failing or performing the opening tutorial mini-games badly, but reports disagree on the exact trigger. Start with one clean pre-tutorial save, use the best-supported failure pattern below, and keep the uncertainty visible instead of treating one fan recipe as guaranteed.
Best-supported first attempt: save before the opening animal tutorial, intentionally fail the tutorial section, and continue the run. A concrete reported variation is to put two animals in the wrong pens and then skip the remaining tutorial portion. If Cast does not unlock, reload the same clean save and repeat the same setup before testing another reported variation.
Use video to confirm the Cast ending scene
Use the video only for scene recognition after a test succeeds. The written retry loop is more useful for reproducing the opening tutorial condition.
Best-supported first attempt for the Cast ending
Start from New Game or a clean save made immediately before the opening animal tutorial. Intentionally perform the tutorial badly instead of trying to perfect it. The strongest concrete reply in the current itch.io thread describes putting two animals in the wrong pens and then skipping the remaining tutorial portion.
Continue the run and check whether Cast appears in the ending gallery. This is a community-supported route pattern, not a developer-published guaranteed formula.
- Save before the opening animal tutorial.
- Intentionally fail / perform the tutorial section badly.
- Concrete reported setup: two animals in wrong pens, then skip the rest of that tutorial portion.
- Continue and check the gallery for Cast.
If Cast does not unlock, retry before changing the route
One failed attempt is common in the public discussion, so do not immediately change late Silas or Kyle choices. Reload the same clean pre-tutorial save and repeat the same failure setup first. That tells you whether the opening tutorial condition is reproducible on your build.
If repeated identical attempts never work, test one reported variation at a time. Public replies include skipping the herding portion entirely, and another player reports a variation involving clicking the chicken after the herding/feeding sequence. These are leads, not official requirements.
- Retry the same setup from the same save before adding variables.
- Variation reported by players: skip the herding portion entirely.
- Another reported lead: chicken interaction after herding/feeding.
- Do not overwrite your normal completion save while testing Cast.
What is still unconfirmed about Ending 20
The public reports agree on tutorial failure as the strongest common factor, but they do not establish why some attempts work and others do not. Randomness, a hidden counter, an unnoticed action, or a build-specific detail are all possible explanations; none is confirmed by the developer in the evidence used here.
Do not rely on a promised fixed retry count. A player saying it took several attempts or several minutes is useful anecdotal evidence, not proof that Cast unlocks after a specific number.
- No developer-confirmed deterministic Cast formula was found.
- Randomness is possible but not confirmed.
- No fixed retry threshold is confirmed.
- Misplacing exactly one animal is not proven sufficient.
Why this guide labels the Cast route as community evidence
The official game page confirms 20 endings, but the detailed Cast trigger comes from player reports in the public itch.io discussion. Those reports are valuable because multiple players point to the same opening tutorial area, yet they also contain failed reproductions and different variations.
That is why the page gives you the shortest useful starting method while keeping the uncertainty visible. If a future developer note, game-code check, or consistently reproduced route resolves the condition, the guide can be tightened further.
- Official fact: the game has 20 possible endings.
- Community consensus: Cast is associated with intentionally failing the opening tutorial section.
- Community disagreement: exact failure pattern and retry behavior.
- Use the all-endings page for every other gallery row.

How to Get the Cast Ending in The False Sun FAQ
How do I get the Cast ending in The False Sun?
The best-supported community method is to intentionally fail or perform the opening tutorial mini-games badly. A concrete reported variation is to put two animals in the wrong pens, skip the remaining tutorial portion, continue the run, and retry from the same clean pre-tutorial save if Cast does not unlock.
Is The False Sun Ending 20 guaranteed after one tutorial failure?
No. Some players report immediate failure to reproduce it, while successful players report repeating the tutorial-fail setup many times.
How many attempts does the Cast ending take?
There is no confirmed fixed threshold. Public reports include both failed first attempts and eventual success after repeated tries, so do not treat a specific retry count as guaranteed.
Is Ending 20 random?
Chance is one possible explanation for repeated retries, but randomness has not been confirmed. A hidden counter, timing detail, or unnoticed condition could also be involved.
Where should I save for Ending 20 tests?
Use a dedicated save immediately before the first animal tutorial so every attempt begins from the same clean state.
