Garden of Witches Epilogue Guide: Ending and Unlock Boundaries

Follow the three Epilogue boundaries and continue from clear data to reach Challenge Mode after the recorded story ending.

Your next move

Chapter 5 leads into Swamp Witch, then The Missing Witch and Mirror Witch. Finish the final story sequence and confirm the completion notice; the game tells you to continue from clear data for Challenge Mode. Reaching an Epilogue, seeing a defeated boss or opening its menu is an earlier milestone.

Plan this task
  1. Follow the three named Epilogues
  2. After the swamp fight, continue the story
  3. Let the mirror sequence reach the next chapter
  4. Finish the ending and confirm the clear-data notice
  5. Check the new Endgame Content entry
  6. What this ending does and does not establish

Follow the three named Epilogues

The chapter menu names Epilogue 1: Swamp Witch, Epilogue 2: The Missing Witch and Epilogue 3: Mirror Witch in that order. Use those entries to identify your current stage.

The final Mirror Witch segment follows a recorded v1.0.2 startup. The exact build for the earlier Epilogue scenes is not established; their visible transitions are used here without claiming one unchanged build for the whole recording.

StageBoundary to continue throughWhat follows in the recording
Swamp WitchThe swamp fight, Maydel conversation and following story/result sequenceThe Missing Witch opening.
The Missing WitchThe mirror story sequence after the conversation with RimsThe mirrored house and Mirror Witch entry.
Mirror WitchThe final encounter, ending scenes, credits and completion noticeClear-data continuation and Challenge Mode.

After the swamp fight, continue the story

The creature falls before Sil and Maydel’s post-fight conversation. Continue that scene and the following house and tea-party events. The recording then passes through a result screen and a new book-page opening. The defeated creature alone is not the entire transition.

If you are checking the chapter menu later, the Swamp Witch entry is separate from The Missing Witch. Use the chapter you actually reached as your destination; the menu’s presence does not mean every entry is already complete.

Let the mirror sequence reach the next chapter

Near the end of The Missing Witch, the conversation with Rims is followed by Sil approaching a large mirror. The story scene pulls Sil through it. A book-page transition follows, then Sil appears in a translucent version of the house.

Open Change Chapter there to verify Mirror Witch is the current entry. In this recording it says the chapter is in progress, while Endgame Content still shows a locked unknown entry. Arriving in the mirrored house has not yet unlocked Challenge Mode. This is a story transition, not evidence that pressing an unshown interaction key activates the mirror.

Finish the ending and confirm the clear-data notice

After the final Mirror Witch encounter, continue through the ensuing scenes and credits. The completion screen then explicitly connects clear-data continuation with Challenge Mode. Confirm that notice and continue from the cleared progress.

  1. Continue past the final fight into its ending scenes and credits.
  2. Read and confirm the completion notice about clear data.
  3. Continue from the cleared progress and check the Endgame Content entry in Change Chapter.
  4. Use the Challenge Mode setup when you want to begin that content; it is separate from merely reaching Epilogue 3.
The completion screen says continuing from clear data allows Challenge Mode content, with a Confirm button.

Check the new Endgame Content entry

The following Change Chapter screen contains a named Challenge Mode entry under Endgame Content. That is the useful unlock check: it replaces the earlier unknown locked entry. A difficulty-configuration screen appears afterward with an Enter control.

Change Chapter now displays Challenge Mode under Endgame Content rather than a locked unknown entry.
The next menu has a named Challenge Mode entry. Recommended Level is a recommendation, not an extra unlock requirement proven here. Open full image · Image source

What this ending does and does not establish

The recording demonstrates story completion followed by access to Challenge Mode. It does not establish that every achievement, every reward or every possible build has been completed.

The menu displays Recommended Level 70 for Challenge Mode. That label alone is not proof of a separate level-lock rule. Likewise, the shown difficulty configuration is one selected setup, not evidence that you must finish the story on that difficulty.
