Below, you'll find a detailed guide on each ending and the critical dialogue options to choose during these vital missions.
Choices That Affect STALKER 2’s Ending
The path to different endings in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is influenced by decisions made during three key missions: Subtle Matter, Dangerous Liaisons, and The Last Wish. Strategically, players can reach the mission Legends of the Zone and create a manual save, allowing them to explore all possible endings without replaying the entire game.
She Will Never Be Free
- Subtle Matter: Life is for the living
- Dangerous Liaisons: [Escape]
- The Last Wish: [Fire]
To achieve this ending, players must align with Strelok, a character with deep roots in the series' lore, aiming to protect the Zone. This involves opposing all other factions by rejecting Scar, escaping from Korshunov, and shooting Kaymanov. Delving into Strelok's backstory can enrich the player's experience and understanding of the game's universe.
Project Y
- Subtle Matter: Life is for the living
- Dangerous Liaisons: [Escape]
- The Last Wish: [Lower the Gun]
For the Project Y ending, players follow a similar path to She Will Never Be Free but choose to lower their gun instead of shooting Kaymanov. This decision aligns them with Kaymanov, a scientist interested in observing the Zone's natural evolution without external control.
Today Never Ends
- Subtle Matter: Eternal spring
- Dangerous Liaisons: [Escape]
- The Last Wish:
The Today Never Ends ending involves siding with the Spark faction, led by Scar from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. Assisting Scar leads him to enter a pod, aiming to reach the Shining Zone. Notably, this ending requires choices in only two of the three key missions.
Brave New World
- Subtle Matter: Life is for the living
- Dangerous Liaisons: I'm not your enemy
- The Last Wish: N/A
In the Brave New World scenario, players align with The Ward faction and Colonel Krushunov, who seek to eradicate the Zone. Similar to the Spark ending, this path requires decisions in only two missions, steering the narrative towards a dramatic conclusion.
