STALKER 2 Endings Revealed: How to Achieve Them All

This guide details the four distinct endings in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, determined by player choices in three key missions: Subtle Matter, Dangerous Liaisons, and The Last Wish. A manual save before Legends of the Zone allows players to experience all endings without a full game replay.

Key Choices and Endings:

1. She Will Never Be Free:

• Subtle Matter: Choose "Life is for the living."
• Dangerous Liaisons: Choose "[Escape]."
• The Last Wish: Choose "[Fire]."

This ending results from siding with Strelok, aiming to protect the Zone and opposing all other factions. This involves antagonizing Scar, escaping Korshunov, and eliminating Kaymanov.

2. Project Y:

• Subtle Matter: Choose "Life is for the living."
• Dangerous Liaisons: Choose "[Escape]."
• The Last Wish: Choose "[Lower the Gun]."

Similar to the first ending, but instead of killing Kaymanov, the player spares him, aligning with his scientific approach to the Zone's fate.

3. Today Never Ends:

• Subtle Matter: Choose "Eternal spring."
• Dangerous Liaisons: Choose "[Escape]."
• The Last Wish: This mission's choice is irrelevant for this ending.

This ending involves supporting Scar and the Spark faction, leading to his journey into the Shining Zone. Only two mission choices are crucial here.

4. Brave New World:

• Subtle Matter: Choose "Life is for the living."
• Dangerous Liaisons: Choose "I'm not your enemy."
• The Last Wish: This mission's choice is irrelevant for this ending.

This ending involves allying with Colonel Krushunov and the Ward faction, culminating in the destruction of the Zone. Similar to the Spark ending, only two mission choices determine this outcome.
