You need to visit Meru before going to Al-Akia. If Gaanezar is under siege then the Legion will blow up Al-Akia after the siege ends.

I dunno how to make Meru travel to Al-Akia. I have grooved sphere, visited Al-Akia (during Legion or commercium main quest). I have surgical kit and unlocked way to Chamber through Zamedi tower but after returning from Al-Akia i found that Gaanezar under siege and...what next? After siege broke my supervisior tell me to find Tor-Agoth's temple that actually game's end.

Feng isn't mandatory if you have enough streetwise/charisma/persuasion to convince 3 people to side with you.

Player reigns and player ascends are 2 different endings. You don't need to do one to get the other.

Is feng mandatory to get the player reigns ending? Because I didnt kill Cassius for him.

Also, do I need to go throught the player reigns to get to the player ascends ending?

I didn't realise Meru would send you there alone if you survive his basement room.

For "Player Ascends" You only need to go to Al Akia in either the Preator, merchant, or legionnaire questlines, you don't need to kill Meru.
