Add to Watchlist

Spark Ending

The Spark Ending is one of the four endings in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Read on to learn how to get the Spark ending, all its major choices, and the achievement you get for unlocking it.

How to Get the Spark Ending

Spark Ending Step-by-Step Guide
Choose Eternal Spring or I Need More Time
Choose to Escape in Dangerous Liaisons

Choose Eternal Spring or I Need More Time in Subtle Matter


Your required choice will vary depending on the faction you've been siding with until Subtle Matter.

The Spark ending can be obtained regardless of who you've been siding with until this point. If you've been siding with Spark until Subtle Matter, choose Eternal spring to start progressing towards their ending. If you've been siding with the Ward until Subtle Matter, then choose I need more time in order to pivot towards the Spark ending.

Note: This will be your last chance to side with Spark. If you choose the "Life is for the living" option, you will only be able to get the Strelok, Kaymanov, or Ward endings after this mission.

Choose to Escape in Dangerous Liaisons

Your next major choice will occur during the main mission, Dangerous Liaisons (the mission immediately after Subtle Matter). When Colonel Kroshunov and his men catch you trying to leave the TCP, choose the option to Escape in order to guarantee the Spark ending.

Since you chose to escape, you will first need to complete the main mission, Escape from the Cage before you can continue to The Boundary. From this point on, you will no longer be able to side with the Ward, Strelok, or Kaymanov.
