[Seppo]

must...resist...watching. NO! DAMN YOU!

Oh well it was worth it

[Russian Mafia]

I've beaten the game twice now, I've gotten ending 2 and 7.

[ailevation]

thank you for the ending find.. I probably won't be playing STALKER as often enough to beat it anytime soon.

[Sebastian]

So which one was the true ending? was it 6 and 7?

[Russian Mafia]

Yeah, in 6 and 7 you learn about the secret of the Monolith, and about who you are.

[spookymooky]

I like the first two the most. I should play this game, hey?

[Que-Ever]

I liked the rich ending the best, though I have no idea what's going on.

[xcellerate]

I liked the rich ending the best, though I have no idea what's going on.

I understand what's going on, although I don't see the irony.

Most of them have some..."i want immortality' and then he becomes a statue.

[gusIII]

I got the "I wanna be rich ending", so dissapointed :( .

But wtf is the C-Consciousness, and how do you get those endings?

[Cerpin]

Can someone explain the story and such? The crashes after the junkyard level for me :(

[xcellerate]

I understand what's going on, although I don't see the irony.

Most of them have some irony..."i want immortality' and then he becomes a statue.

Edit: I think the 'rich' ending has to do with the fact that greed is a 'deadly' sin, maybe? So the wish-granter makes him believe that these pieces of the structure are gold pieces, even though he's lavishing himself with the same things that are going to cause the structure to collapse on top of him.

[Dalamari]

The blind ending makes no sense, he asked for the zone to disappear, not to be ****ing blind, I can see how the rest of the endings are the wish granter playing with his words, but the blind one is just "LOL YOU BE BLIND NOW KTHX"

[gusIII]

The blind ending makes no sense, he asked for the zone to disappear, not to be ****ing blind, I can see how the rest of the endings are the wish granter playing with his words, but the blind one is just "LOL YOU BE BLIND NOW KTHX"

Pretty silly, yes. But he cant see to zone anymore, so it kind of disappeared to him...
Why didn't the fool ask who he was or where strelok is or something more relevant. :frown:

Well two things could have happened:
1.) The zone actually did disappear and everything was a-okay, and he went blind just because that's how life goes.

2.) The zone is still there, but to him it did disappear since he went blind.

That's how I see it at least.

You are strelok....

[Samon]

Multiple endings? Lame.

[gusIII]

You are strelok....

That explains a lot.
But still awful ending ;(

[TheAmazingRando]

He didn't go blind, his brain was fried like all the other Zombies you see wandering about. Like the Doctor tells you back in Strelok's hiding place noone who makes it to the Wishgranter makes it back so all the Wishgranter endings are bad. It's just a illusion like all the other psychotropic effects the C-Consciousness are generating. The only ending that actually ends the Zone is the one where you destroy the C-Consciousness.

[ktimekiller]

is there a site, or can someone explain the entire story perhaps? since the patch makes my saved game unplayable, and the fact that the game is so damned scary, i dont think i want to bother playing to end

[jake95159]

sooo are u strelok then but just dont know it? that would kinda put everything together to make sense. ya know how it said "kill strelok" as a task in ur pda? i think a good ending would be to wish that strelok died, then the thing kills you

[Kyorisu]

Well you meant to find out your STRELOK before you get anywhere near the damned thing. Find the guide, goto the hideout again, have the Doc tell you who you are.

Dink.

[Unfocused]

I got the "I want... to be rich!" ending. Well, duh, if I don't have anything to spend the money on, I have it with me until I need it. That doesn't mean I'm greedy o_O

[Kyorisu]

Yeah the patch fixes the money issue.

[Unfocused]

Yeah the patch fixes the money issue.

What do you mean? I was playing with the game patched BTW.

BTW I loaded the game at the point before going into the room with the Wishmaker and went to the secret room instead and got the 2 real endings. It was nice to get some answers (in the conversation with Conciousness that is).

[AzzMan]

I just watched all of them (except the last 2, i want to get those myself), and have no idea wtf the deal is with the "ruling the world" one, you become part of the thing or something? and what about the mankind must be controlled one? did it just detroy mankind?

[MiccyNarc]

Yes and yes. Also, if you don't get the implication, the monolith is planning on ruling the world. So, if you become a part of it, you'll rule the world!

[slugthrower]

Nice Tread, thx for the collection.

I had #2, #6 and #7 before finding this thread. And i think #7 is the real, or my favorite one.

As far as I understood of the Story mechanics, there are 2 more or less parallel story lines, the "get to the NPP" and "find Stelok". If you completed the NPP line you can get the first 5 endings, and if you completed the Strelok line, you 'll get either #6, or you can even play for about half an hour longer and finally reach #7.

I must say I was quite confused after I chose not to join the C-con(#6), cause you were put outside the NPP again without orders and an idea what to do next. But the rest was something like linear and the way is to be found more or less easily.
The only thing I really missed was an endfight or something like that. You just kinda stumble in the end #7.
I hoped for something like a free pointless roaming, after the finish of the storyline, like in freelancer, but that would have been difficult to mix with the "end the zone" thing...

[silviuf42]

The blind ending makes no sense, he asked for the zone to disappear, not to be ****ing blind, I can see how the rest of the endings are the wish granter playing with his words, but the blind one is just "LOL YOU BE BLIND NOW KTHX"

It must be about the fact that you cannot be superman and you cannot change the world only by a simple wish. So the wishmaker gives you exactly what you asked: the zone disapperas because you cannot see it again. Exactly in this ending I finished the game (crap). This ending reminds me the x-files episode "Je souhaite", with that genie and those f.....g wishes. Anyway, does anyone some map codes in order to return and finish the game in another way?

[Adabiviak]

There's like three different ways to get endings - you visit the Monolith and depending on your condition, you'll get a different ending, if you ignore the Monolith task you can go to a different room and get the C-Consciousness ending and if you make a certain decision there, you continue on through a fun teleport level (that you don't get unless you take this route) to get another ending.

If the game crashes for you, here's a possible fix that worked for me. The game would invariably crash if I tried to save a game in Pripyat, entered Chernobyl from Pripyat or otherwise tried to progress in the game at that point. I really wanted to see what all the weapons looked like and how they worked so I installed a trader mod that lets the traders sell you every possible weapon, and this fixed the bug! I could now save in Pripyat and then entered Chernobyl (now armed fit to kill with the best weapons) and completed the game. If you save anywhere that you make a decision, you can see at least three endings. To see the different Monolith endings, you have to be in a different state when you ask for your wish. You don't get to choose, you just wish, and depending on if you're rich, have killed certain people, etc., will determine what you ask.

Because I played for so long before giving in and installing the trader mod, I had a lot of money. I bought every single type of suit and weapon that I had been missing from my previous 'collection' and still had over a billion rubles leftover.

Note: some of the weapons/suits that are available seem like they are specific to this mod (as in, they aren't otherwise available). Can anyone confirm or deny this? There's a modified exoskeleton and Bullpup grenade launcher and I don't think those are available in the game?

[giant384]

#2 ending was the best.

[DEATHMASTER]

Actually the ending does make sense, if you bothered to understand the story and explanations of the green hologram dude. He says some BS about c-consciousness being something to control the zone's spread using ppls brains or someshat and the real ending is u being STFUNOOBCAEK and shoot all the mofos in the green pods, ending the control/deception to the pplz and you go outside and its a lovely day. Is it really though? The zone will spread possibley so who knows...I'm hoping there's room for an expansion.

[Xune]

Multiple endings? Deus Ex.

Fixed.

What's wrong with multiple endings? Must every game be like HL2 where you are told exactly where to go, what to do and how things end? I prefer my games to be more free thinking, but then that's the kind of person I am I guess.

[DEATHMASTER]

No Dominatrix For You

[MiccyNarc]

Anyone else find it odd that this is the #1 result on google for "stalker endings"?

[Adabiviak]

For the record, Wikipedia has a pretty good summary of the storyline if that's what you're after.

[Baal]

I've gotten 2, 6 and 7.

I like the immortality one the best, just because the irony is probably the best.

[B.Calhoun]

The blind ending makes no sense, he asked for the zone to disappear, not to be ****ing blind, I can see how the rest of the endings are the wish granter playing with his words, but the blind one is just "LOL YOU BE BLIND NOW KTHX"

well he didnt say i want the zone to not excist anymore, and not gunna be seeing anything else even if he had his sight because he is still trapped in the zone.

[Maximumfish]

I think the five "false" endings are are called that because the wish granter is not actually there.

If you enter the secret lab the five blue thingies you have to destroy are around a hologram of the wish granter, which indicated to me anyway that the thing itself was either a hologram or a hallucination fabricated by their weird mind-control antennae.

That the wish granter is not real at least you are told earlier in the game, so all of those endings are just BS in strelok's head, except i suppose for the getting crushed by falling girders in the "rich" ending.

[<RJMC>]

this is kind of offtopic but I got a problem whti stalker

when loading the level of the lab of the brain scorcher the game seens to crash and exit to windows

and hint?

[Asuka]

Nice post. Just beat the game and i got endings 6, 7 and 2. Just watched the videos for the rest, i just wish you can watch the endings in HQ without beating that game again. Its a crazy long game and i don't think i can do it for the other endings. Great game really, just a few bugs with the mission's. didn't really bother me.

[Mikael Grizzly]

Multiple endings? Lame.

Don't get on my bad side.

[Adabiviak]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is crazy buggy, even after the latest patch (1.0003 at this time). I still love it (and play it to death), but I think we may just need to deal with it until their patch factory gets into mass production. However, I did have a couple of bugs (storyline/mission related) disappear after installing a mod that had nothing (I think) to do with storyline progression.

[DEATHMASTER]

Does this patch delete the saved files again?

[<RJMC>]

its no use

I skiped the entrance to the lab and decided to try to reach pripyat and sudenlly the game keep going and the objectives in the pda changed

[DEATHMASTER]

lolwut

[SakeMaki]

Well the endings all make sense to me, if you just are in for a little bit of guessing. If you make a wild guess it even gets worse :D

Fact: I think it's a given that all the Wish granter Endings are Illusions. One should be save to assume that even the blind, armaggeddon and "Rule the world" ending are just illusions, with all the same outcome, of you being being simply gone/zombie/dead. The c-consciousness is merely having fun with you.

Theories sorted after likeliness, with most likely comming first.

1. All the endings are fake.
Why would C-Consciousness beam you right into a chamber where you can destroy them? ?_? So c-consciousness could've provided Strelok just with a pleasening end. The rather overly sudden idyllic situation, could be hint.

2.Only #6 is real: As it is the only situation that would fit the c-consciousnes, so they let you become part of them.

3. #6 and #7 are real: #7 perhaps sets you up for a final test, which would perhaps prove to the c-consciousness that you are worthy to destroy them and therefore ALLOW it to happen.

4. #6 and #7 are real: #7 happens totally against the will of the c-consciousness and you manage to find your way into their chamber and be able to destroy them therefore getting rid of the zone.

If you take my theory, then this game has actually no good ending in the classical way. I wouldn't be surprised about this, as it would just fit right into the game's mood. I like it as well how the game portrais the human as a rather frail and weak minded person. The whole game could be about struggling against your fate, but losing in the end :D A total oposite goal that one is used to normally... I agree with most people that endings didn't leave you with a truelly satisfied feeling. If this was intended, then they're even more genious and brave as I thought before. The message then would even be, that even all the struggle of achieving something might be futile, which contradicts to the reason that we play a computergame, as we actually want to achieve something with playing it. The game may promote therfore actually not to play a computergame and flee into an alternate (c-consciousness) reality, as it will just leave you with a non real ending and a lot of wasted time...

Well it surely was fun to think about all of this, even if it got a bit long ;)

[Konraden]

This is likely to be my only post, so don't bother responding to me. If you have a question directly, send me an email instead.
Konraden AT gmail DOT com. SUBJECT LINE " STALKER QUESTION "


Alright, when I installed the patches, I had innumberable problems getting the game to run for longer than 3 minutes. I got to a point where the game would inevetiablly stall everytime. I uninstalled my patches, reinstalled my game, and started playing again, taking note to block the Trader's doorway. (it gets jammed from time to time).

My game ran without bugs just fine until a few points in the game. I would begin to have the same problems. My game would crash to desktop for no reason what so ever. I took the advice from another forum about prefetching objects for the game.

If you go to your shortcut, and enter into the target line after the game's exe file, " -noprefetch ", you will likely stop a few of your crashes. Your games will load significantly faster, and you will notice a performance boost. If you need help, contact me.

IMPORTANT! I suggest you save your game constantly, and use several different saves. I noticed that when i got to a point where the game would crash, if I loaded a save PRIOR to the one I was normally loading from, the game would run fine to the point of crashing and beyond. For a quick way to save (and load) without having to go the menu, open the console ( ~ key by default):

---------
save : Quicksave's the game (under quicksave, like F6 does)
save title_of_save : Saves a game with the given title (no spaces allowed in title of save)
--
load title_of_saved_game : Loads the save game specified. NOTICE: Patched games can use the "load_last_save" command to load their last save.
---------

[L3adCannon]

I`ve had 1 and 3, they were awesome. Now I`m trying to finish the game again with some mods that make the game even better.

I love the multiple ending thing.
The first one is the best imo, just so sad and awesome.

[giant384]

konraden you dont put a problem for the game in a thread about stalker endings.....

[bassport]

How does one get to the secret lab to get ending 6 or 7? And how do I get to the "Doc" or whatever to get info about Strelok?

I got the "Humanity is corrupt" ending (I don't know how I got such a bad reputation... I didn't even kill anyone special except one Stalker because of a mission) and I don't see how I could've played the game otherwise...

[Oreolek]

The blind ending makes no sense, he asked for the zone to disappear, not to be ****ing blind, I can see how the rest of the endings are the wish granter playing with his words, but the blind one is just "LOL YOU BE BLIND NOW KTHX"
In the original RUSsian version,he says "I don't want to to see this Zone anymore" or "I want the Zone to disappear from my eyes" something like that.I think it's just a bad translation.I played this game long ago,so I don't remember the exact phrase.At least I tried to explain the meaning.

The #6 and #7 are real.The rest is a fake from the Monolith.
The #6 is the best,the #1 is the worst.
If you play the game from start to end,you'll understand the story.Just turn left on the way to Monolith. (:-)
Also I think the story has a hole.The beginning tells us about the crash and the man who sees Stalker says it's incredible for him to live,since he was in a death car.But the ending tells that these cars is a common way to spread c-consciousness agents around the Zone.Strange,isn't it?

[TCfromBN]

I never figured out how to get the real endings. I only got to the point where it tells you to find the monolith.

[Oreolek]

On the way to Monolith,there is a door.You can't open it if you have no Decipherator (it must be like that I believe).To get it,you must walk through lots of quests.However, there's a physics bug:you can place your weapon at the door so it will open (see the walkthroughs - SDA for example).
There would be a real Monolith.Smash,break and destroy it.
When you're done,a strange holographic man appears and tells you all the story.You can end the game here.(#7)
If you choose not to,you appear on a 'bonus level' and must run like hell.
At the end of the level you will end the game by the sixth way.
Endings #1-#5 are lame and occur ONLY in the Monolith chamber.

[L3N!N]

Eh, I'm at Chernobyl NPP but just won't go any farther, too hard. Damn Blowout.

[Oreolek]

Run.Faster.

[DEATHMASTER]

lol i dont even bother with the enemies except the ones at the entrance. just run. (hope you got the spark anomalies)

[bassport]

To get it,you must walk through lots of quests.However, there's a physics bug:you can place your weapon at the door so it will open (see the walkthroughs - SDA for example).

Thanks for your reply. One question, though: What's the SDA walkthrough? Where could I find it?

[Oreolek]

speeddemosarchive.com - speedrun archive.
The main archive has only the fastest walkthrough - with a bad ending - but the forum contains useful links.
Also it's a good idea to search youtube and Google Videos.There're plenty speedruns there.

Face the door and drop your weapon.It can stick between the wall and the door,and the door will open.
