This guide highlights the choices and actions you need to make to experience all of the game’s conclusions, without giving any major spoilers of the endings.
1. All Endings in STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl
STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl features four distinct endings, each with its own set of requirements. To unlock them, you’ll need to make specific choices at important moments throughout the game’s story. The Four Endings you can unlock in STALKER 2 are:
- Strelok Ending – “She Will Never Be Free”
- Ward Ending – “Brave New World”
- Kaimanov Ending – “Project Y”
- Spark Ending – “Today Never Ends”
i. Strelok Ending – “She Will Never Be Free”
To achieve the Strelok Ending (“She Will Never Be Free”) in Stalker 2, make the following key decisions during the final missions:
- Subtle Matter: When Scar confronts you at Orbita Station while using the visiograph, choose “Life is for the living”.
- Dangerous Liaisons: When caught by Korshunov, select “Escape” to avoid the Ward Ending.
- The Last Wish: Confront the Doctor in the Red Forest and choose the “Fire” option when prompted.
By making these specific choices, you’ll set Strelok on a path to take control of the Zone, leading to the “She Will Never Be Free” ending.
ii. Ward Ending – “Brave New World”
To achieve the Ward Ending (“Brave New World”) in Stalker 2, follow these steps to side with Korshunov:
- Subtle Matter: When Scar confronts you at Orbita Station while using the visiograph, choose “Life is for the living”.
- Dangerous Liaisons: When caught by Korshunov, select “I am not your enemy” to align with the Ward.
By making these choices, you’ll unlock the Ward Ending, which depicts the Ward’s destruction of the Zone.
iii. Kaimanov Ending – “Project Y”
To achieve the Kaimanov Ending (“Project Y”) in Stalker 2, follow these steps:
- Subtle Matter: Choose “Life is for the living” when Scar confronts you at Orbita Station while using the visiograph.
- Dangerous Liaisons: Select “Escape” when caught by Korshunov to avoid the Ward Ending.
- The Last Wish: Confront the Doctor in the Red Forest and choose the “[Lower the Gun]” option when prompted.
By making these specific choices, you’ll unlock the Kaimanov Ending, which deviates from the Strelok Ending with a critical decision during the final confrontation with the Doctor.
iv. Spark Ending – “Today Never Ends”
To achieve the Spark Ending (“Today Never Ends”) in Stalker 2, follow these steps:
- Subtle Matter: When Scar confronts you at Orbita Station while using the visiograph, choose “Eternal Spring” instead of “Life is for the living”.
- Dangerous Liaisons: Select “Escape” when caught by Korshunov to rule out the Ward Ending.
By making these specific choices, you’ll unlock the Spark Ending, a unique conclusion to the game’s story.
Currently, the non-Strelok endings in Stalker 2 are bugged, causing a glitched final fight against the Stalker. If you want to unlock the other three endings, be prepared to encounter issues.
You may need to reload the fight or defeat Strelok quickly before the boss glitches out. Playing on Rookie difficulty may also make the fight more manageable if the bug persists.
