Instructions for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Attention: This guide contains plot spoilers!
What quests affect the ending?
The beginning of the question is that there is no return in the game “Male of War”. From the moment the mission begins, you block access to the rest of the Zone and automatically complete all the side quests mentioned in the journal. The main three missions that appear in the end of Stalker 2:
- “Suttle Matter”
- “Dangerous Links”
- “The Last Wish”
Pay attention: We recommend saving before the first action so that you can replay the game for several different endings.
Ending with Strelok – “She’ll Never Be Free”
At this end, Strelok takes control of the Zone, becoming the rightful owner. To reach this ending, you have to make several key decisions throughout the game.
The first important decision awaits you during the mission. “Suttle Matter”. Now when Scar captures you using the vision at the Orbit station, select the option “Life is given to the living”. This action will be the first step towards controlling the Zone.
The next step to get this ending is to complete the dangerous links quest. When Korshunov catches the hero, choose “escape”to avoid another limit. This option will prevent the development of another situation and open the way to the desired result.
And the last major choice you face in the mission “The Last Wish”. When you find yourself in the setting of the Red Forest, you must kill the Doctor you meet. This step will complete a series of important decisions that will lead to your desired ending, where your choices will ultimately play a decisive role in the destiny of the Zone. This moment will be the end of your journey, completing the series of events that you have carefully built throughout the game.
Ending with Korshunov – Brave New World
This ending is perhaps the darkest, as reaching it will destroy the Zone forever. To reach this conclusion, you need to support the group Varta, or more precisely, Korshunov.
Completing the story quest “Simple Case”you must again select the option “Life is given to the living”. But, in the mission “Dangerous Links”which we also mentioned earlier, you have to choose the answer “I am not your enemy”. This decision will have a major role, as it will lead to Korshunov entering the group, which will open the way to the final round in which the Zone will be destroyed.
Ending With Skif – “Project Y”
At the end of this, Skif becomes the rightful owner of the Zone. To reach this end, you must follow the options related to the endings of Gunslinger, but in the end you must choose another path, which will provide another development of events.
Going through the story question again “Suttle Matter”select an item “Life is given to the living”. Then, in the work “Dangerous Links”when “Varta” head catches you, run awayto avoid another limit. Finally, in the Red Forest area, when you meet the doctor, choose “Lower Arms”. These sequence options will bring you to the desired end, changing the course of events and revealing a unique outcome.
Ending With Scar – “Today Has No End”
At this end, Scar enters the capsule, creating a peaceful setting where the Zone can be seen in a more positive light. She turns into an idealized version of the city, in contrast to her usual hostile self. Follow these steps to reach this ending.
On a mission “Suttle Matter” choose an answer “Irish Spring”when Scar catches you at the station. Then, in the essay “Dangerous Links”select an item “escape”when Korshunov passes the hero.
