Once these five steps have been completed by players, they must tell Galerius to complete them insteadin anothertime loop inThe Forgotten City. This results in 4 of the 6 eligible voters choosing Galerius as their new Magistrate.
Each of these 5 steps involves a fair bit of time and effort, but getting Galerius elected and obtaining Duli’s plaque is required to getthe best ending inThe Forgotten City. The rest of this guide will detail the exact method of completing the steps with as few spoilers as possible.
How to Get Malleolus to Drop Out of the Election and Save Fabia
To get Malleolus to drop out of the election and convince Galerius to run, players must expose his secret. Follow these steps to unearth Malleolus' secret:
Once this has been accomplished once, players must get Galerius to bribe Malleolus in order to gain Ulpius' vote, and save Fabia’s life by dealing with the assassin.Saving Fabia’s life will get her friend Georgius to vote for Galerius in the election.
How to Save Iulia and Ulpius in The Forgotten City
In order to save Ulpius' life and get him to vote for Galerius, players must first save Iulia, and release Ulpius from Malleolus' slave debt. To save Iulia, steal the bottle of silphium resin from Desius' stall at the Marketplace of theancient Roman city ofThe Forgotten City, and then travel through the portal to start a new loop.
If Malleolus has already been exposed, get Galerius to convince him to drop out of the election once a new loop has started. Then quickly travel back to the Shrine of Apollo and give Lucretia the silphium resin that will cure Iulia.
Next, run to Ulpius outside the Great Temple located at the very top of the city, and convince him not to kill himself. To do this, players must have the information that Ulpius was romantically involved with the missing Sentilla, and Iulia must be saved. Either 2000 Denarii must be provided to free Ulpius from slavery, or Malleolus must be bribed by the player or Galerius to release Ulpius and Iulia.
Once again, it’s important to get Galerius to save Iulia and Ulpius in a new loop to get Ulpius to vote for him.
How to Stop Vergil Being Threatened in The Forgotten City
To get Vergil’s harasser to stop threatening him, players must unearth his harasser’s identity, and then give them medicine to help with their ailment. To uncover their identity, head to Aurelia’s tavern and explore every room. Examine all items and players will eventually discover who the harasser is.
Next, players must obtain the key to the chest in the Shrine of Apollo. This can be achieved by gettingthe bow inThe Forgotten City, and then the Golden Bow. Or, it can be obtained from Naevia’s chest in her quarters at the tavern.
Open the chest at the Shrine and show the medicine to Lucretia. The harasser’s pain will be eased and can now be reasoned with to stop harassing Vergil. Once this quest has been completed,Galerius must give the harasser the medicine in a new loop to gain their vote at the election, and Vergil’s.
Although it is quicker to get the key from Naevia’s quarters, obtaining the Golden Bow allows players to turn algae andvines into gold inThe Forgotten City. This ability is needed to get another plaque, so it’s recommended to get the key to the chest this way.
The Palace inThe Forgotten Cityis also one of the most memorable segments, and it’s recommended to experience its creepy mystery at least once.
Once all of the above steps have been completed, ask Equita to call the election, and Galerius will now be elected as Magistrate. He will free Duli, and players can finally obtain one of the 4 plaques. All this time will add tohow long it takes to beatThe Forgotten Cityif players wish to get one of the best endings.
The Forgotten Cityis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
