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

This guide details the four possible endings in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl and the crucial choices that determine them. The game features three key missions impacting the ending: Subtle Matter, Dangerous Liaisons, and The Last Wish. Conveniently, these missions occur late in the game, allowing players to save before them and explore all endings without a full replay.

Choices Affecting the Ending

The table below summarizes the key choices for each ending:

Ending Details and Associated Choices

• She Will Never Be Free: This ending involves siding with Strelok to protect the Zone. This requires antagonizing other factions: rejecting Scar, escaping from Korshunov, and shooting Kaymanov.

• Project Y: Similar to the previous ending, but instead of killing Kaymanov, you lower your weapon, aligning with his scientific approach to observing the Zone's natural evolution.

• Today Never Ends: This ending involves assisting Scar, the leader of the Spark faction, leading to him entering a pod believed to transport him to the Shining Zone. Only choices in Subtle Matter and Dangerous Liaisons are relevant here.

• Brave New World: This ending results from siding with Colonel Krushunov and his plan to eradicate the Zone. Only choices in Subtle Matter and Dangerous Liaisons affect this outcome.

By strategically making these choices in the designated missions, players can experience all four distinct endings of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Remember to save your game before these missions to easily explore all possibilities.
