Forspoken Susurrus final boss and endings guide – Point of no return, alternate ending, and phase 1
Let’s discuss the point of no return and first phase of the Susurrus final boss fight in Forspoken.
Point of no return and alternate ending
The point of no return in Forspoken occurs during Chapter 11: The Truth. First, you’ll make your way to Tanta Olas’ castle. Before you can obtain her Green Magic, Cuff will betray you, and he’ll reveal himself as the entity known as Susurrus. You’ll then have a long trek to familiar locations so Frey can reacquire her powers (even without Cuff). Eventually, Frey will meet her mother, Tanta Cinta.

Cinta will create two portals. One leads back to New York so she can be reunited with her cat Homer (hurray!). The other, meanwhile, will allow her to help the people of Cipal, though she’ll be trapped in the world of Athia. If you want to keep a manual save here, that’s totally up to you.
Assuming you decide to return to New York, you’ll watch a very short cutscene where Frey is walking while carrying Homer. This is the game’s happy ending (because she’s with her cat, damn it!).
Once the cutscene ends, you’ll be back at the main menu. There’s an autosave just before the point of no return, so you can opt to go through the portal to Cipal and tackle the final boss encounter.

Cuff Susurrus Phase 1
Next up, Cinta will transform into a dragon and drop off Frey at Cinta. You’ll fight a bunch of enemy mobs in the town square, and then reach the archives. Here, you can talk to a few NPCs, and even select different Spellcraft Challenges via the tome. When you’re ready, leave the archives so you can go ahead with phase 1 of the Susurrus final boss battle in Forspoken.
Frey will start the encounter on dragonback. Your goal here is fairly simple: Dracarys the heck out of the birds by holding the left mouse button. Pay attention to swarms of them and red flashes because that means they’ll fly straight at you. Frey will take around 10 points of damage if she’s hit, which is manageable, though you don’t want to waste your potions this early.

After turning the mobs into Jollibee Chickenjoys, there’s a short cutscene where you have to press both left-click and right-click so Cinta can unleash her dragon breath burst. Unfortunately, your success is short-lived, as Susurrus just blasts her.
Although Cinta is gone, she and the fallen Tantas all give their power to Frey. This leads to phase 2 of the boss battle.
