This guide details the four possible endings in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, determined by player choices in three key missions: Subtle Matter, Dangerous Liaisons, and The Last Wish. A manual save before Legends of the Zone allows players to experience all endings without a full replay.
Choices That Determine the Ending
Three crucial missions shape the game's conclusion. Conveniently, these missions occur late in the game, enabling players to save before them and explore all outcomes.
She Will Never Be Free
This ending results from siding with Strelok to protect the Zone, requiring antagonism towards other factions: rejecting Scar, fleeing Korshunov, and eliminating Kaymanov.
Project Y
Similar to the previous ending, but instead of killing Kaymanov, players choose to spare him, aligning with his scientific approach to the Zone's fate.
Today Never Ends
This ending involves assisting Scar, the leader of the Spark faction, leading to his entry into a pod believed to transport him to the Shining Zone. Only two mission choices are decisive here.
Brave New World
This ending involves allying with Colonel Krushunov to eliminate the Zone entirely. Only two mission choices are critical.
