Resident Evil 9: Requiem: Old Yang got the good ending on his first playthrough!

Wow, this wave really delivers on entertainment value!

Resident Evil 9: Requiem has been heating up player discussions again lately. Not because someone got stuck and tilted, and not because someone got so scared they flung their controller across the room, but because the well-known Bilibili creator @骨灰级游戏玩家_杨老头 directly cleared up the point viewers cared about most: he completed two endings, and on his very first choice, he landed on what many players consider the “correct answer.” It feels like getting the final big question right in one stroke—enough to make the chat flood with: a veteran gamer is still a veteran gamer!

Let’s put the facts on the table first. The original information shows that Yang Laotou is himself a longtime Resident Evil series player. Recently, he posted a video clearly stating that he has already completed 2 endings of Resident Evil 9: Requiem. And here’s the key point: what fans cared about most was which route he took on his first clear. Based on the latest video content, his very first choice led him to the ending that many players see as the more reasonable and more complete one.

The original text also describes this ending very directly: “On his very first try, this grandpa picked the correct ending, retrieved Elpis, and had Leon’s nephew properly deal with the biohazard crisis once again.” That’s not a small amount of information, and it definitely has some flavor. For players who’ve been following the story closely all along, the most exciting part of this outcome isn’t just that he “picked right,” but that it suggests this narrative route wasn’t so exaggeratedly obscure that it was impossible to read.

Why did this spark so much discussion? Simple. Some people recently felt that Capcom’s story design in Resident Evil 9: Requiem was too convoluted this time around, with character relationships and branching directions not laid out clearly enough, almost as if the game was deliberately hiding its hand. But the fact that Yang Laotou found the key ending on his first clear offers another interpretation instead: maybe this story isn’t “impossible to understand”—maybe it simply tests players more on their grasp of the series’ context, character trajectories, and the tone of the choices.

Put plainly, what is this like? It’s like veteran commentators watching a match. Newcomers watch for the excitement; longtime players see the finer points. What you think was just a lucky guess may actually be someone picking up on the scent from years of series experience. Especially for a player like Yang Laotou, who has spent a long time with Resident Evil, his feel for Capcom’s narrative habits may be sharper than that of the average player.

But! This also needs to be made clear. The current information mainly comes from the video content, screenshots, and the “video details” description. There is still no more specific gameplay route, nor any detailed official breakdown of the endings. So at this stage, it’s more appropriate to view this as a high-interest observation within the player community, rather than some final, definitive plot encyclopedia.

From the perspective of community discussion, that’s actually a good thing. Because it naturally splits players into two camps: one side says, “See? The story actually is understandable”; the other says, “Not so fast—it could also just be that his experience let him guess right.” And that kind of debate is exactly what shows that Resident Evil 9: Requiem’s multiple-ending design has really boosted everyone’s sense of participation.

If you haven’t reached the ending yet, I’ve only got one piece of advice: don’t rush to look up a guide. Especially for players who enjoy the narrative feel of the Resident Evil series, making your own choices on your first run gives the biggest emotional payoff. If you choose wrong, that’s still part of the experience; if you choose right, that’s the kind of highlight moment that makes people slam the desk in a livestream. Now it just comes down to seeing what more players say after finishing the game—this time, Yang Laotou has definitely been the one to light the fuse first.
