Metro Last Light Redux - All Endings (Good Ending/Bad Ending) 

I think 90% of us got the bad ending on our first play through and thought we did everything to get the good ending.

i got bad ending, but that bad ending was so cool, his life trough his eyes, everything abt this game was awesome

Honestly, the bad ending doesn't seem like a bad ending. Bittersweet, perhaps, but not bad.

damn i killed everything i saw

I just finished the game with the bad ending... I had one bad point. ONE. I freed the prisoners, spared surrendering people. helped the civilians in the bandit tunnel, spared Lestnisky and Pavel, gave money to beggars... and accidentally shot the mother bear monster thing when shooting the watchmen off its back.

I never knew there were multiple endings, I just thought, "wow thats pretty sad that artyum gave his life like that but at least Anna and their child would be saved and Artyum went out a hero."

Wait, the "bad" ending gave away the fact that Anna was pregnant? So.. if this game was set in spring, and Exodus was during the next winter, she should have been giving birth at that point lol

RIP Ulman. In the books and games you were the very best spartan that ever lived ;).

I get the bad ending on purpose(killing everyone) cause I thought it will fit the theme of the story and I was right

Metro series is the best games that i ever played.. so emotional.. just epic

Ended up getting the good ending my first time and man, shit hit different

got the good ending on my first playthrough. snuck through half the game without shooting anyone and listened to most of the NPC conversations

Well now i am waiting for the next game to be free

Wait, is that really a bad ending!? For real, man.

I killed about 80% of all enemies I encountered. I made sure to knock out a few every encounter. The main thing I did was exploring to earn moral points. Those get you more points in total compared to sparing soldiers. I think that in order to get the moral points for sparing the soldiers, you have to not kill anyone in the entire encounter but I might be wrong. Also listen to conversations. According to the wiki page for moral points, it appears I only got 75% and still got the good ending.

So I got the bad ending, and spared almost everyone..

I played the series out of order. Exodus, 2033, then Last Light. I just finished Last Light and in my ending artyom dies. Now I'm all fucked up in the head with the story for Exodus. Seems like they just gave no further story in Exodus for the people who had the bad ending in Last Light.

I honestly thought I made the best possible choices, even in combat. I slaughtered those deserving, like that traitor Lesnitsky, saved those who deserved salvation, like Pavel, and I helped out mama bear in the jungle. First playthrough too. I felt Lesnitsky didn't deserve to be left alive, while Pavel did. But it turns out that was a bad choice. Also looting corpses gives you bad karma? I was playing on Spartan (I think that's the name) and on the hardest setting, resources were scarce and I had to do it, especially gas filters. I avoided confrontation whenever possible, even going as far as restarting a section multiple times if I broke stealth. If that wasn't a good karma run, I don't know what is

Wtf I never knew this game had a good ending, most of us got the bad ending, gotta finish the game again

I remember the first time I saw the bad ending. Before this, I had no idea there was 2 endings. As I watched my enemies fade into fire, the future was shown. My son, and his mother. She was telling my son how brave I was. As I realized this was it, a single tear of sadness, happiness, and some other strange feeling.

The fact that he references Spartans and Xerxes makes the "bad ending" even more badass like the 300 movie.

bro why is the bad ending so good, the music everything

The redux must make it way easier to get the good ending. I gave every enemy a new necktie, but explored every possible nook and cranny for good boy points. Got the good ending and about 3000 kills

I actually got the good ending on my first playthrough

Idk man. I more love the bad ending. Lol

I underestimated it really, never thought most of the decisions would matter.

Rail cars are flying from explosion blast

I've never even gotten the bag endings on any of the games and I just finished my Fourth playthrough. I didn't even know there was a second ending for them until i got to last light and couldn't figure out why the dark ones were dead since i saved then in the first game which apparently isn't canon. You can still kill a lot of people but there's just certain ones you spare. Exploring all the games levels also helps with the endings. There's a couple major decisions in all the games that pretty much decide it, but you can redeem yourself pretty easily.

The good ending fits the themes of the game more. Humanity has sought a second chance after their nuclear holocaust, pushing forward and fighting through the same horrible atrocities that led to Armageddon in the first place (now committed by the Reds and the Reich). Artyom is emblematic of this, and acted the same aa humanity did in the war with his orchestrated bombing of the Dark Ones in the Pavillion. Like humanity, Artyom was dealing with the consequences of his actions and had to contemplate how to avoid repeating the same mistakes of the past. He learns to forgive and be the better man by being around Khan and the Dark One , as well as seeing the true folly of the Reich and Red Army. That's why the "bad" ending is just like it was in the first game, an explosion set off by Artyom while struggling. Whereas the canon/good ending involves no explosion or similar destruction. Artyon's evolution is supposed serve as an example to humanity, as he learned from his mistakes and acted differently than humanity would have in most of his circumstances. And because of this, a new solution occurs. The Dark Ones save them, and afford the chance to start anew and forge a better Metro and future. As noble as the sacrifice ending is, it leaves Polis and Exhibition in harms way by the hostile groups still left to takeover in the destruction of Polis' power structure and manpower. But the good ending gives Polis and D6 the chance to make real change.

Man the dark one kid rubbed on me, in the Russian dub he sounds so innocent and fun. Artyom is like an older brother or a father to him.

I like the bad ending more than the good to be honest

I never thought of it as the bad or good endings. Just different endings.

Guessing that the ending where you blow up D6 is the bad one. Aka the one i got

I didn't even knew there were 2 ending until youtube recommend me this video

There was no bad ending to this game, just one more preferable to the other.

Khan was 1 of my favorites

So confused how I got the bad ending I did everything right

Damn, also had the bad ending.

Just finished, good ending on first attempt. It wasn't so hard after all

The story never ends with good ending 🙏 2033 then last night, it all continues with bad end 😢😢

Dunno,personally,i likes the “bad” ending more,it’s more...dramatic,i guess? I mean,if in the first game our “savior of the Metro” burned down the dark ones home,he’ll never change in the future. Artem - serial murderer,and he deserved what he gets in the end.

Damn the Bad ending Made me for real cry,that ending Made me emotional

I was so confused when Artyom survived in Metro: Exodus, I thought he was supposed to be dead. This confirms the good ending is canon for Last Light, a redemption for the first game's ending.

And I really thought that was the real ending (Bad Ending) of metro last light. Jesus I'm gonna grind it again and make it good.

Metro Exodus kind of retcons both endings by not having Anna and Artyom have a kid and Miller not being crippled

How does the bad ending line up with exoduss?

I didn't shoot the watchmen off the back of the bear because I thought they were her children or smth protecting her not biting her XD

i like the "bad" ending better, it is more realistic than the happy ending one...

Remember it… got the good ending first, was a bit confused cuz its not the ending from the book. Replayed it like rambo and then i got the bad book ending 😂

I got the good zending on both metro 2033 redux and last light on the first try but got the bad ending on my first metro Exodus run

Great

İ probably have seen the good ending if only the game hadn't erased my save, i had to get a save from online and god knows what that mad lad done till where i was at before my save files were gone.

I finished this game 3 times and finally I got the good ending.

is it not good to watch the good ending without going through the agony of achieving it ? - Love The Metro series - it begs you to play it again and again - the series is a masterpiece,

"And I know one day we'll meet again" Metro exodus: hold my filters

Idk why but the bad ending is necessarily it's feels more fulfilling know that artyom died saving Anna and his kid.

Honestly this is why moral point/karma systems in games tend to be trash. Ain't no way am I replaying this again with an eye glued to a guide just to get the ending that actually makes sense. It sucks having what is ultimately the canon ending locked behind a series of almost impossible to find near eastereggs that honestly make very little sense to obtain. Kill 100 men? all cool, kill and extra two specific men who are more evil than most of your body count combined? you're evil and undeserving of the dark ones' help. Take off your mask and trust a complete maniac who's holding your partner hostage? or just shoot him in the face with a 100% chance of making the shot? Guess you're evil for... shooting a maniac traitor who was likely going to kill you and do worse to your partner immediately after. Its such a pain in the ass that they stuck with this system through the whole series, it really cheapens the experience.

Got good ending on first play through on Survival Ranger Hardcore... I got bad ending on 2033 because i didn't understood game mechanics much(played on Survival ranger hardcore on 1st play through) so for last light i wanted good ending...

Played this game too many times... only just realised there is another ending always got the bad one

Remember that for get the good ending in both 2033 and last light you have to get every moral point.

If atryom died in last light with the bad ending.. How does he back in exodus 🤣

Kinda odd that you don’t get to know about artyoms kid unless you get the bad ending.

I spared every single one I saw in mid and late game. But early game I just killed everyone I saw, last light was the First Metro game that I played, so pure instinct, them or me. And the mother bear, I first played Metro in survivor ranger cuz I want to feel the true survival game. So I didn't shoot the mutant off the bear cuz I don't want to waste anymore of my ammo, just to protect myself later. So I think bad ending is the best one, it really show that you are a true human, you have true survivor instinct, you do everything to survive, even though later you meant to harm no one, but still, you just protect yourself. Being so good seems unrealistic, cuz sometimes we have to be bad, just sometimes, because the world isn't fair, being bad to survive sometimes.

At first i got bad ending, but during 2nd run, i spared 70% soldiers by knocking them, didn't kill pavel and letznisky (sparing these 2 earns huge moral points), interacted with many guitars, listened every npc dialogue, saved the bear, helped the kid in shooting challenge, spared the nosalis by avoiding them,removed the gas mask when pavel held anna captive, explored all locations and got good ending

Bro I just played and finished the game and I tried so hard to save people and be a good person but I still got the bad ending

how do i get good ending?

I basically shoot everything but I gave children a teddy bear and bullet to beggar it’s save me from bad ending lol

Oof. I just beat Last Light and wanted to see what the other ending was. I was so sure I got the good ending 😔 rip

Kill everything you see except for 2 main bad guys and be a moral man by listening to everyone and get good ending

i swear to god i spare everyone and i still get the bad ending the most confusing shit

How to get the good ending

What happens if u listen to all dialaogs ?

Wow that even make sense

Lol I got so confuse now cos I just started playing Exodus and wondering how come Artyom is still alive. How is this even possible I mean I pretty sure nearly all of us knows the ending was a huge sacrifice.

Just finished the game and was confused because I know Artyom is in Exodus. I never even considered a bad or good ending. But at least now I'll know whats going on when i start Exodus.

HOW DID I NOT GET GOOD ENDING I GAVE TO THE POOR AND SAVED EVERYONE IS IT BC I GOT STRIPPER DANCES?

I like the "bad ending" better tbh. And there is no way i would ever spare Pavel, that dude annoyed me so much from the first moment he opened his mouth.

To get the actual good ending u gotta not kill anyone who surrenders and spare everyone

the problem with moral gameplay was, there is no meter indication when you are good or bad like KARMA in fallout franchise. and just go to what developer want you to do. that what make moral playthrough boring. and almost of the player would ignore good ending (even though it is cannon I think).

Mate a todos los enemigos que se me cruzaron, ayude a los refugiados, le di dinero a los que lo pedían, perdone a Pavel y evite matar a los que el pequeño oscuro me decía que no matara Saque el final bueno

The bad ending looks awesome, can't wait till I finally finish the game!! Gotta check out the ending to the first metro, I may just buy that one as well!!

crap! now I have completed last light 2 times in a year, and both times I got the bad ending!?!?

After realizing the stealth just flat out doesn't work after the 3rd mission, I just went Rambo mode. The "bad" ending was 100% worth avoiding the headache that is constantly being seen through walls.

I don't think there's a "bad ending" . Both seem like logical conclusions . Only the one with Artyon surviving is the cannon ending.

Got good ending in 1st walkthrough.

Can we all agree that khan is just the only guy we could ever trus

Me making almost all of the good choices and still getting the bad ending :(

I know I'm late, but even I have to say that the moral points system actually makes no sense. It's true that I didn't do all the things required to have the good ending, but I definitely did most of them. also in a game with a post-apocalyptic setting how can you try not to kill anyone or have the goal of playing all the musical instruments just to get some karma points. you can understand my frustration after getting the bad ending by playing survival.

More like Good Ending/Better Ending.

I didn’t know there were 2 endings so I went John wick and killed everything that looked me sideways

Good ending and BADASS ending.

I looted everz corpse i saw ... Damn, literally my only mistake

Good ending is so hard to get bruh

i think the bad ending(more like the better ending) was better then the so called good ending... it acted sort of as a redemption arc for artyom as he was the one who killed all the dark ones... it gave him peace or something like that..

lol i got the good ending in my first play trough and then the bad ones years later smh

SO if the 'Good Ending' is canon.. does Artyom have a son or not? I haven't played Exodus yet (or any of the extra missions in Redux)

no wonder i was so confused on how exodus came to be. i genuinely thought the bad ending was the good ending cuz artyom still saved the metro

I Killed Everything That came Infront of me And I got Bad Ending

Dammit... I spared Pavel & Lesnitsky, yet i still got the bad ending... but to be fair I slaughtered everything i could see.

bad ending go brrrr
