Yes. You can collect missed Data Shards after the normal ending: choose Continue from the main menu to return to the pre-final-boss safe-room autosave, then gather all eight and take them to the Mainframe in Lower Levels > B3. Defeat the final boss again to reach the secret ending, according to the 100% Guides walkthrough.
How to collect Data Shards after the ending
- Finish the story and reach the normal ending.
- At the main menu, select Continue. The walkthrough says this loads the last autosave in the safe room before the final boss.
- Backtrack through the areas to collect any missing shards. The guide says the eight Data Shards are not missable and remain collectible after finishing the game.
- With all eight, go to the Mainframe in Lower Levels > B3 and turn them in.
- Defeat the final boss again to reach the secret ending.
These post-ending steps are documented by the walkthrough rather than official game instructions. Epic’s achievement listing corroborates the all-shards milestone with Shard Collector, described as “All Data Shards found,” but does not describe the Continue reload point or secret-ending sequence.
