You cannot choose the Canon of Vengeance ending at the final area of the game.

Unlike the Canon of Creation endings (with the exception of the True Neutral ending), you cannot pay a Macca (money) to get either the Canon of Vengeance Law or Chaos ending at the game’s final area if your alignment does not coincide with the particular ending you want.

If you are aiming for either the Canon of Vengeance Law or Chaos endings, be sure to choose the correct dialogue responses during the main story to increase your alignment towards getting a specific ending.
