STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl - All Endings (& How to Get Them)

Unlocking the Four Endings in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl offers four distinct endings, determined by player choices in three crucial missions: Subtle Matter, Dangerous Liaisons, and The Last Wish. Conveniently, these missions occur late in the game, allowing players to create a manual save after completing Legends of the Zone and explore all endings without extensive replays.

She Will Never Be Free

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

This ending aligns with Strelok's vision of protecting the Zone, requiring players to antagonize all other factions. This involves rejecting Scar, fleeing Korshunov, and eliminating Kaymanov.

Project Y

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

This ending mirrors the previous one, except for sparing Kaymanov. This reflects Kaymanov's scientific perspective, advocating for the Zone's autonomy.

Today Never Ends

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

This ending favors Scar and the Spark faction, culminating in Scar's journey to the Shining Zone. Only choices in two missions determine 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, resulting in the Zone's destruction. Similar to the Spark ending, only two missions influence this outcome.
