CloverPit – 999 Ending: The Definitive Guide to the Secret Ascension
This is the ultimate, no-BS guide to unlocking the secret 999 Ascension ending in CloverPit. We’ve synthesized all the community-tested strats to give you the most accurate, step-by-step process.
Aight, so you’ve heard the whispers. You know there’s a secret ending in CloverPit, a path beyond just winning or losing. You’ve seen the legendary 999 pattern and heard tales of a white phone. This isn’t just a myth; it’s the final boss of secrets in this game, and getting it requires you to break the rules and defy both heaven and hell.
There’s a lot of conflicting info out there, but don’t trip. We’ve sorted through all the theories and put together the definitive, step-by-step guide to force the 999 ending. Let’s get this bread.
Step 0: The Prerequisites (The Grind)
Before you can even think about ascending, you gotta do the homework. This secret path is for veterans only.
- Beat the Game: You have to have at least one normal win under your belt.
- Get the Full Skeleton: This is the first real grind. You need to unlock all 4 corpse pieces and the skull. The skeleton must be fully assembled and visible on your slot machine at the start of a run for the quest to be possible.
Step 1: Forcing the Devil’s Hand (Triggering Red Calls)
The entire secret revolves around triggering and then rejecting “red phone calls,” which are basically devil deals. The key isn’t waiting for them to happen randomly; it’s about forcing them to appear.
The Golden Rule: To get a “slash” on the 666 floppy disk on your machine, you must trigger a phone call with red (evil) options, ignore the deals, and then successfully complete that deadline.
So, how do you force a red call? The community has found a few ways, but here’s the most consistent strat:
- Get a 666 roll during a deadline. After the roll, the very next time you answer the phone (either from a phone item or at the end of the deadline), the options will be red.
Step 2: Getting the Three Scars
This is the main part of the quest. You need to repeat the process from Step 1 a total of three times.
- Trigger a red phone call.
- Answer the phone.
- DO NOT select any of the red options. Just hang up.
- Successfully complete your current deadline.
Each time you do this, a slash will appear over one of the 6s on the floppy disk icon. Once you have all three slashes, you’re ready for the final, faith-testing step.
Step 3: The Leap of Faith (The Final Trigger)
This is the step that feels wrong, but it’s absolutely necessary and the most critical part of the entire quest.
Once you have all three slashes, you MUST get hit by a 666 roll.
You have to let it happen. Let it wipe your money out. This act is the final trigger for the holy intervention. The community is still testing if using items to protect yourself from the 666 hit still counts, but the safest, most confirmed method is to just take the L. Let the 666 roll resolve completely.
Step 4: The Holy Intervention
If you’ve done everything right—you have the full skeleton, you have the three slashes, and you just took a 666 to the face—the next time the phone rings, it will be different. The phone will appear clean, glowing white. This is the holy call.
Answer it.
Your 666 floppy disk will transform into a glorious 999, and the key to the exit door will also turn white. You’ve done it. You’ve entered the blessed state.
Step 5: Ascension
Once you have the white key, the rest is simple. Just continue playing until you reach the final deadline. Grab the white key, open the door, and you will be treated to the secret Ascension ending. Congrats, you absolute legend.
TL;DR: The Quick & Dirty Checklist
For all you gamers with no time, here’s the speedrun version.
- Have the full skeleton unlocked and showing on your machine.
- Get a 666 roll. Answer the next phone call, but don’t pick any red deals. Finish the deadline. A slash will appear on the floppy disk.
- Repeat Step 2 two more times until you have three slashes.
- Now, get hit by a 666 roll. Let it wipe you out.
- Answer the next phone call. It will be the white phone.
- Survive until the end, grab the white key, and win to get the secret ending.
