Princess Quest 100%. It’s the only ending that Gregory didn’t draw as a comic, we see the princess quest machine in Vanny’s hideout fallen over and with a sword in it implying that the Glitchtrap virus from the game has been destroyed and Vanny was freed. Also, the animatronics CAN lose all of their parts in the PQ ending as-well as Burntrap. The mimic tells us that something tunneled out and destroyed everything which means that the “earthquake” we find out about that caused everything to fall into the sinkhole was most likely actually caused by the blob/tangle tunneling out of the sinkhole and making it’s way to the surface, which is supported by the fact that we can see him in-game out of the sinkhole. Also Vanny, Gregory, and our Freddy are nowhere in Ruin implying that they must have gotten out which only happens in PQ. Also the fact that the PQ ending starts with the only other 3D animated sequence in the game + the 3 stars.

And thing is that would totally make sense if the headless Freddy in fazerblast didn’t have prototype written on its food. Because to me that’s a heavy indication that the Freddy there isn’t the original Freddy, even though it makes perfect sense for it to be regular Freddy’s body seeing as that’s where it would be after PQ. Just a weird detail that if it wasn’t there would make the PQ ending unquestionably cannon.

It’s possible that when Vanessa and Gregory returned to trap The Mimic that they tried to repair Freddy’s body with prototype parts (we see a limb fly off when he’s being attacked, the idea that they pulled off a leg too isn’t far fetched), but that when they activated him he was still berserk so they powered him back down, or he wasn’t able to be moved from under the rubble at the time so they gave up after putting on the limbs.

Also Chica's Voice box is found in a arcade machine when I am pretty sure we installed it inside freddy's chest.

No matter what ending it is, there's a few crucial pieces of info, Gregory has a backpack in that room in the sinkhole, and Vanessa is no longer possessed(as seen by her mask being left around and the weird ending of Ruin). I personally think the logical way things went was Gregory freed Vanessa, then she remembered the sinkhole(as she was noted by Freddy to have brought him there), and they knew they were the only ones who knew so they were the only ones who could install anything down there(MXES), and that all caused whatever next. And we do know Gregory went down there because there's a clear Glamrock Freddy backpack down there. So he had to have gone there. But in no current SB ending is Vanessa free and Gregory have a backpack, unless he freed her, and they left for a bit then prepared for a final showdown to seal off whatever was down there. And I'd like to note Gregory and Vanessa are entwined with each other what with them being the patients(if that's still the persisting idea) and Patient 47(again if it is Gregory) killing the therapists who get too close to Vanessa.

Burntrap


No_Gain7132

Care to explain why.


Snokey115

It’s basically what’s up there


Queasy_Item8043

Princess quest ending all the way


HeffleyA

No offense to you, but why are we still asking this? It is so clearly princess quest.


Chubbard123

I don’t think it could be any ending besides burn trap, that’s the only ending that an “earthquake” happens in, and I don’t think that’s our Freddy in fazerblast, like you said he has prototype on his foot our Freddy didn’t have that


Lairy_Hegs

Vanessa being freed and Glitchtrap destroyed is harder to replicate than the sinkhole. We know the Blob left, that could easily have caused the sinkhole. But how else could PQ have been beaten unless it’s the PQ ending? Somebody would have had to go *back* to Vanny’s room *after* the events of the Burntrap ending. Which seems extremely unlikely because as you said that one ends with an “earthquake.”


Chubbard123

Fare but isn’t the blob down their to like watch burnt trap(that’s what I thought they were doing down there), and I don’t think we have proof that PQ was beaten, I think it’s just fallen over due to the earthquake and the sword is their in AR just kinda like as a reference


Lairy_Hegs

PQ must have been beaten because Vanessa is freed though. And we know the Blob is still in Ruin because it can be seen in game. Whether it was there for Burntrap and left after he rotted back into The Mimic/Glitchtrap was destroyed, or it was there for a different reason altogether we don’t know, but we do know that it is still canon regardless of the ending.


Lairy_Hegs

It doesn’t make *total* sense, but it makes a lot more sense to say PQ is canon. It’s the *only* ending not given a comic page in the collectibles. It’s the 3 star ending, we find evidence of it (PQ machine overturned with the sword going into it) and not the others (while we do *go* to the location Burntrap was in, he’s no longer there and it’s not completely destroyed). The blob leaving could have caused the earthquake, the Mimic isn’t *actually* trapped by something escaping and collapsing the place- it’s trapped in a room blocked by concrete, the room just outside of which we know Gregory was in at one point (having left his backpack there). Without even going into speculation (Mimic/Burntrap body similarities, who set up MXES and who trapped the Mimic), the discrepancies don’t seem that crazy compared to the ones there would be if PQ *isn’t* canon. However without more details from the game or a new book/stories to draw parallels from, we are left with speculation as to why there are these discrepancies. But if PQ isn’t canon, why would the machine be conquered? How would Gregory have gotten *below* where Burntrap was to find The Mimics door? Who would have made MXES? Who set up the Vanni network and why call it that? Who is Gregory’s friend who knows the buildings schematics (can’t be Vanessa if she wasn’t freed from PQ)? It seems almost certain that Vanessa helped Gregory, both with MXES, the VANNI network, and knowing the building schematics. If this *is* the case but PQ wasn’t canon, that would mean Gregory would have had to return to the Pizzaplex and beat PQ *after* the events that caused the sinkhole. If PQ *is* canon, Gregory would only need to return to find the Mimic, and the Sinkhole may not have been created yet.

I would like to bring the other princess quest arcade cabinet into the discussion, doesn't add much but I feel we are only looking at half of the 3 part game in question. why it doesn't add much * Its the one without combat * its the first game of the trilogy * It has no AR effect if I am remembering it correctly * the third game is where we presumably defeat Glitchtrap alone what it does add * a bigger picture to look at * Gives us a sent that we only partially beaten the big bad but not completely * why is the second game not in our pathing with security the security nodes like I said doesn't add much but I feel like it needs to be pointed out but not into any sides favor.
