STALKER ending...

K. I've beaten STALKER. I went to the Chernobyl power plant and found the Monolith. I got an ending where I wanted to be rich. A nut fell into my hand and when I looked at it, it appeared to be a gold coin. Then gold coins started falling everywhere, eventually killing me. After I died the camera showed my hand sticking up out of a pile of rubble, and in my hand was an ordinary nut...

Of course this ending confused me and slightly pissed me off so I turned to google and found out there are 7 endings. 5 of wich are bullshit and all occur if you go for the monolith. The 2 true endings happen when you go to a factory or some shit, and learn about C-Conscienceness and you can either join it or not and if you dont you end up killing everyone in the c-conscienceness.

Now I have some questions...
When you begin the game you have a mission on your PDA that says find sterlok, kill sterlok. Eventually you find out you are sterlok. Who brainwashed me, and why am I supposed to kill myself?

What exactly is the monolith? My guess is that it's the core of the reactor, either that or it is a brain scorcher because all the wishes you make on it turn out to be bullshit one way or another...

I dont get it either? I dont understand why you need to kill yourself, what the Monolith is and how can you brainwash yourself?

What is the c-conscienceness?

What the hell is the 2 good endings all about?

Damn game poses more questions than answers

You got a mission to killl yourslef because if you get either C-Consciousness ending, a hologram explains it, saying they got you and one of your friends mixed up. The monolith was created to destroy anyone who wished on it, to prevent people finding out about C-Consciousness.

If you have any other questions about the game, I'll try and answer them.

It all came togeather after reading that wiki. The ending I got left me a little pissed off.

What I don't get is why I wished for money even though I was carrying well over 800k RU on me, and once I got back to a trader and sold my weapons I would have had well over 900K probably.

Yeah I was using a trainer. Mostly because I wanted to take everything I found and sell it. Now that I've played it I can see for my style of play money isn't too important. Don't really need to buy anything, everyone drops ammo and shit anyway.

Monolith ending = 50k+ --> "I want to be rich" ending.

yep.
I can understand wanting more money when you have 50k, but when you have over 800k and prolly another 100k worth of goods = wtf?
I guess when I play through it this time I will focus on killing sterlok instead of chasing after lab documents if I can help it

I think they were basing on the fact that if you're accumulating massive amounts of wealth, then you want to be rich . . .

but, I think the 50k really only holds up with vanilla - in later patches, it's way too easy to accumulate stoopid amounts of loot and goods.


Unless has been mentioned (as I didn't look at the link) - to reach either of the "best" endings, you need to complete all the lab missions for the storyline, and a few side quests . . . meeting with guide, meeting with Doc and the secret stash in Pripyat.

yeah and don't go to the monolith :/

wtf I was selling off a shitton of PMMs I found and the game said I had some rediculous amount of money, way over 900k. I tried to buy a stalker suit and it said that I didn't have enough money, and I lost a lot of health when I did so, cause I was at about 30% before then as soon as I clicked "trade" for the stalker suit my character started breathing heavy like he does when he's about to get p0wned. this is 1.0006 worldwide

Well, I never liked this game. I thought it looked like shit and now seeing that it has 5 bad endings and only 2 good ones, I'm glad I never finished it...

I tried throwing grenades down there but it didn't work
if you take a good look around that area it kinda looks like he's in a jail cell, maybe he got locked up for being insane or something

I casually strolled into this room and was checking it out, busting crates etc... when I was done I saw this bandit while I was making my way out. I cant believe he didn't notice me... I went over to him knife in hand an stood behind him and he turned around. Afrer he saw me it was lights out for him...



this one happened when I was fighting a bandit and he ran into a room to take cover. I chucked a grenade in the room and after it blew up I went in to check it out, and saw the effects of my grenade:

things I've learned playing stalker:
1. He said don't just stand there, come in.
2. I can't go there.
3. That guy in the hanger really wants me to get out of here.

I found Gordan Freeman dead in a tunnel full of electro anomalies. I thought since there were so many anomalies there may be something valueble, maybe a battery or something. No, I find the family "rifle", Gordan Freeman, and Big Ben. What the hell was Gordan Freeman doing in a tunnel full of anomalies? Maybe he was trying to get to the Wish Granter and wish away all those columbine guys?

And what about these two Mercs? Thier love has a very strong presence, even in death.
