S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl offers a gripping narrative experience with four distinct endings, each determined by pivotal choices made during three crucial missions. While the game might not boast an extensive array of endings, the impact of your decisions throughout the story adds significant replay value. Here's a detailed look at how you can steer the narrative towards different conclusions.

Choices That Affect STALKER 2’s Ending

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, your journey culminates in three key missions: Subtle Matter, Dangerous Liaisons, and The Last Wish. These missions occur towards the end of the game, allowing players to save before Legends of the Zone and experiment with different choices without replaying the entire game. Each decision you make in these missions shapes the final outcome.

She Will Never Be Free

• Subtle Matter: Choose "Life is for the living"
• Dangerous Liaisons: Select [Escape]
• The Last Wish: Opt for [Fire]

This path aligns you with Strelok, who aims to protect the Zone. To achieve this ending, you must become adversaries with all other factions, rejecting Scar, fleeing from Korshunov, and shooting Kaymanov. Delving into Strelok’s lore from previous titles can enrich your understanding of this choice.

Project Y

• Subtle Matter: Choose "Life is for the living"
• Dangerous Liaisons: Select [Escape]
• The Last Wish: Opt for [Lower the Gun]

To reach this ending, follow the initial choices of the previous ending but, crucially, lower your gun instead of shooting Kaymanov. This aligns you with Kaymanov, a scientist interested in observing the Zone's natural development, free from external control.

Today Never Ends

• Subtle Matter: Choose "Eternal spring"
• Dangerous Liaisons: Select [Escape]
• The Last Wish: Not applicable

Aligning with Spark and its leader, Scar, leads to this ending. Scar, a familiar face from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, aims to reach the Shining Zone. This path requires choices in only two missions, reflecting Spark’s unique narrative arc.

Brave New World

• Subtle Matter: Choose "Life is for the living"
• Dangerous Liaisons: Select "I'm not your enemy"
• The Last Wish: Not applicable

This ending involves siding with Colonel Krushunov and The Ward faction, aiming to eradicate the Zone. Like the Spark ending, only two missions are pivotal for this choice, emphasizing the faction's goal to destroy the Zone once and for all.
