Oil Tycoon! true ending
The True Ending in Oil Tycoon! turns on one choice against John Oil — and at a 6.5% clear rate, it is the rarest badge in the game.
The badge
| Badge | Description | Clear rate |
|---|---|---|
| TRUE ENDING | "which to choose..." | 6.5% |
Created 20 August 2026; rate read from the Roblox API on 27 September 2026. Rarer than every secret: the igloo sits at 9.7%, this is lower.
The choice
At Big Oil Inc, John Oil begs:
"Do I kill John Oil or do I show mercy?"
He talks about working honest jobs — Bloxburgger, Builder Brothers Pizza — and says he has shown "nothing but compassion, love, friendship." Miguel's wishes push the same way. The decision in a verified run:
"Even though I WANT TO KILL THIS GUY, I will shed mercy upon him... I will do it."
Spare him. That is the True Ending. The badge fires the moment the choice lands — "The true ending. Wow."
Step by step
- Progress to Big Oil Inc and the confrontation with John Oil.
- Let the dialogue run — he makes his case.
- Choose mercy. Do not blow him up.
- TRUE ENDING awards, and Miguel's gift follows (droppers run 25% faster in a verified run).
Why the rarity is real
- Ending 1 sits at 30.2% — five times this one.
- Most players' instinct at the end of a grind is to destroy the antagonist.
- The badge description ("which to choose...") is the developer winking at exactly that.
The decision point
Same confrontation as Ending 1, opposite answer. Where Ending 1 rewards the explosion, the True Ending rewards the pause: show mercy, and the TRUE ENDING badge fires — held by 6.5% of players as of 2026-09-27, the rarest badge in the game.
Why mercy is the "true" one
The badge itself says it: its description is a riddle about which to choose, and its rarity is the game's way of marking the answer. The mercy path is also the one the setup points toward — the monopoly has a face by then, and the story has spent its runtime making that face legible. Nothing in the game blocks you from the other choice; the rarity comes from players doing the dramatic thing first.
Step by step
- Reach the confrontation — same progression gate as the other ending.
- Choose mercy instead of detonation.
- Watch the sequence — this one is the payoff for the choice, and it is longer than Ending 1's.
- Check your badges — TRUE ENDING should be listed with its award date.
If you already did Ending 1
Replay is free: the confrontation presents again and the badge does not conflict. Your factory, secrets and badges all persist, so nothing needs rebuilding — walk back to the choice and answer the other way. The two badges sit side by side in the badge table, and holding both is the completionist state only about one in fifteen players reach.
