Big Walk: How to Unlock the 100% (Secret) Ending

The 100% ending (the community also calls it the secret ending) is the extra finale you unlock only after you have already beaten the game normally, and it is easy to miss because the game never points you at the building that triggers it. The short version: finish the normal ending first, then collect the 15 remaining gourds — including the 7 new purple gourds that unlock on the map after the normal ending — and bring them to the big green building that sits next to the red train station near the starting area. If the building's door is closed, press the button beside it to open it, place the gourds there, and the secret ending plays.

The unlock at a glance

1. Beat the normal ending. The secret ending only becomes available after that, and a keyhole appears at the building.
2. Collect the 15 remaining gourds. Seven of them are the new purple gourds that unlock on the map.
3. Start from the tutorial room (spawn). Leave the main area and head out to the open world.
4. Open the door if it is closed. A button beside the door opens it.
5. Go to the big green building beside the red train station.
6. Place your 15 gourds there to trigger the secret ending.

Before you start

Two things must already be true before the building does anything. First, you need to have beaten the normal ending — the source is explicit that "the secret ending unlocks after you beat the normal ending", and that a keyhole appears at the target building only after that. Second, you need the remaining gourds: the source says the building is "where you place your remaining 15 gourds that you can find, including the seven new purple ones" that unlock on the map. So do not rush to the building the moment you load in — go only after the normal ending is done and you have your gourds.

00:14 — after the normal ending, a keyhole appears at the building; the source points it out here.

Success check: the normal ending is complete, the building's keyhole is visible, and you have gathered the 15 gourds (including the 7 purple ones).

Step 1 — Start from the tutorial room and leave the main area

The route begins where you load in. The source is standing in the tutorial room, then says to "go out of the main area here". Walk out of the main spawn area and out toward the open map — you do not need to enter any tower or tunnel for this.

00:24 — the source starts in the tutorial room; head out of the main area from here.

Success check: you have left the main spawn area and are in the open world.

Step 2 — Open the door with the button if it is closed

On the way you may hit a door. If you have not opened it yet, the source says "all you need to do is press the button here when you come around it and it'll open it up". Walk around the door and press its button to open it.

00:58 — pressing the button around the door opens it; use this if the door is still closed.

Success check: the door is open and you can walk through.

Step 3 — Walk to the big green building beside the red train station

From the door, head toward the train station area. The building you want is the big green one next to one of the train stations — the source points at "the green building over here next to one of the train stations" and says it is open. It sits on a major train station, the one the source identifies as the red train line.

00:38 — the green building beside the train station; this is the ending building.

Success check: you are standing in front of the big green building beside the train station.

Step 4 — Place your 15 gourds at the building

This is the actual unlock. The source says the building "is actually where you place your remaining 15 gourds that you can find, including the seven new purple ones" that unlock on the map. Bring your gourds here and place them — this is the "secret ending location for last gourds" the title refers to. The moment they are in place, the secret ending triggers.

00:44 — this is where you place the remaining 15 gourds, including the 7 purple ones.

Success check: the gourds are placed and the secret ending begins to play.

Step 5 — Confirm the spot on the map if you get lost

If you are not sure which train station, open the map. The source shows the location on the map and points out it is "where the red train is coming up right now", with "the main building is this big green one over here". Look for the red train station on your map and the big green building beside it.

01:12 — on the map, the location is the red train station; the big green building sits beside it.

Success check: the map matches your position at the red train station with the green building beside it.

Success check

You beat the normal ending, gathered the 15 remaining gourds (including the 7 purple ones), opened the door with its button, reached the big green building beside the red train station, and placed the gourds. The secret ending then plays and the game is 100% complete.

Common mistakes and recovery

• Going before the normal ending. The secret ending only unlocks after the normal ending; before that there is no keyhole to use. Finish the normal ending first.
• Forgetting the purple gourds. The source counts the "seven new purple ones" as part of the 15. If you skip them, you do not have the full set — go back and collect them from the map.
• Looking for the wrong building. It is a big green building on a major train station (the red train line), not a tower. Use the map to match the red train station.
• Stopping at a closed door. The door is not a wall — there is a button around it that opens it. Press it.
• Rushing without the gourds. Reaching the building is not enough on its own; you must bring the 15 gourds to place there.

Player-count and version notes

• The source is a single-player demonstration of the route and the unlock, narrated as the author walks to the building. Big Walk is a co-op game, so run the same route with your group; the ending itself plays for the party.
• The source uses a movement-speed mod only to reach the spot faster in the recording. It does not change the unlock steps or bypass any locked area — the building, button, and gourd placement are all normal gameplay. The article ignores the speed change.
• The 7 purple gourds are the post-game gourds that only unlock on the map after the normal ending; they are a separate topic from the regular red gourds this site covers in its tracking guide.
