Quick Links

• Choices That Affect STALKER 2’s Ending
• She Will Never Be Free
• Project Y
• Today Never Ends
• Brave New World

Many games boast multiple endings, and while S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl doesn't offer a vast array, it presents four distinct outcomes before the credits roll. Your choices in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 significantly impact the ending, primarily during three crucial missions. The following outlines each ending and the pivotal dialogue choices within these missions.

Choices That Affect STALKER 2’s Ending

Three key missions determine your ending: Subtle Matter, Dangerous Liaisons, and The Last Wish. Conveniently, these missions appear late in the game. Creating a manual save before Legends of the Zone allows you to experience all endings without a full replay.

She Will Never Be Free

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

This ending sees you siding with Strelok, aiming to protect the Zone. To achieve this, you must antagonize all other factions: reject Scar, flee from Korshunov, and shoot Kaymanov. Strelok's history in previous games makes this ending particularly compelling.

Project Y

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

Similar to the previous ending, but instead of killing Kaymanov, you choose to spare him. This aligns you with a scientific perspective, allowing the Zone to evolve naturally without external control.

Today Never Ends

• Subtle Matter: Choose "Eternal spring."
• Dangerous Liaisons: Choose "[Escape]."
• The Last Wish: No specific choice required for this ending.

This ending involves aiding Scar, the leader of the Spark faction and protagonist from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. Your choices in Subtle Matter and Dangerous Liaisons pave the way for Scar's journey into the Shining Zone. The Last Wish doesn't affect this outcome.

Brave New World

• Subtle Matter: Choose "Life is for the living."
• Dangerous Liaisons: Choose "I'm not your enemy."
• The Last Wish: No specific choice required for this ending.

This ending involves siding with Colonel Krushunov and the Ward faction, leading to a campaign to completely destroy the Zone. Like the Spark ending, only choices in Subtle Matter and Dangerous Liaisons determine this outcome.
