  • Well this isn't exactly the correct translation from the original russian

    in original he says: "Humanity is corrupt, it must be destroyed"

  • Tis a fairly ambiguous ending. I take it thusly:

    Strelok, being the prick that he is, wishes for humans to be controlled. The Wish Granter achieves this by simply eliminating every other human being on the planet. The only human Strelok could've ever reliably controlled is himself, and now that everyone else on earth is dead, he IS humanity. Strelok is now doomed to spend the rest of eternity trapped alone in a bleak dimensional void.

    Basically, like I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.

  • @IAmTheStig320

    Well, he wished for humanity to be destroyed, since there was a mistranslation. If he wanted humanity to be controlled, that's not a bad thing.

  • In the Russian version of the game he says "Destroyed" rather than "controlled". So it makes much more sense.

  • For those who don't understand:

    He says humanity is corrupt, and that it must be controlled (destroyed in Russian).

    What the wishgranter does is that it takes his words too literally, and it destroys his mind and shows him literally all of the suffering in the world, and it destroys Strelok's humanity (As in, it destroys his emotions and feeling)

  • Ultimate forever alone

  • Me: I wish for-

    Wish Granter: Get out of here stalker!

    Me: GODDAMN YOU!

  • Monolith overdosed him with LSD methincks.

  • I take this to mean Strelok gets tortured by the Wish Granter into insanity.

  • He's getting fucked by Wish Granter.

  • He is the only man in the world => he is humanity. He can control himself => he can control humanity. It's simple

  • @helnoisemaker Very clever, I didn't think of that.

  • Forever Alone.

  • Creepiest ending ever!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @aidan456456 You got killed / mind controlled by the wish granter. The wish granter pretends to grant wishes but actually eliminates the person in order protect the secrets of the zone.

  • Now this is a fucking ending.

  • the funny thing is is that this is the only wish the wish-granter grants without twisting the wish.

  • i have S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky idiot so i can watch this

  • What a stupid fuck changed 'destroy' into 'control'?

  • @RafiRaf1

    Probably someone at the THQ thought that's too rough for capitalist americans and europeans, so they watered it down.

  • so hes all alone?xD

  • wtf created this fucked up "wish granter" that fucks up everyones wish?

  • @UNSCODST13

    u get what u wish for

  • @UNSCODST13 the c-consciousness

  • So...? Whats the ending? He got blackout, and?

  • Best. Ending. Ever.

  • STALKER:I WANNA TO FUCK GOAT.

    WISHGRANTER:WHERE HERE I CAN FIND GOATS,U MORON!

  • @Citzen92

    that was a good one - lol.

  • @Terneyah yes it is,rofl

  • @Citzen92 -Facedesk-

    Not a bad joke, but the execution was a bit sloppy.

  • I always make the gold ending why?

  • @mysnifin You have too much money on you.

  • @MarkmusProductions lol i have like 204 k gold at the end or more XD

  • @mysnifin You are too greed in s.t.a.l.k.e.r. ;)

  • Comment removed

  • This is possibly the coolest video game ending in history. First time i saw it it stuck in my head for days.

  • so.. what happened?

    Was everything destroyed (ok, appeared as such to Strelok. We now know Wish Granter doesn't grant any real wishes)?

    Or did he understood humanity already controlled itself with all the wars and stuff?

    wtf ..

  • @EdTheBadass

    According to what russian folks on youtube said, he didn't say "controlled" in russian but "destroyed" /"purged", whatever.

    Humanity was annihilated in this video, this is also emphasised by him disappearing into the void + the picture of a few people leaving/entering (not evident from the pic) a bunker flashing in at 1:02.

  • @Kagonic

    yes, I know russian and I have seen the russian version.

    My question was more - did it really happen or it was another illusion by Granter O_o ..

    My guess was that Wish Granter gave him understanding, that humanity is already destroying itself and then threw him in darkness (probably killed)

  • @EdTheBadass

    I guess the game leaves that up for us to decide. :)

  • @Kagonic If humanity was destroyed, that would defeat the purpose of the c-consciousness. By the true endings, its safe to say the Wish granter doesn't grant wishes.

  • @kidslovesatan

    I dunno, for example if you wanted to become rich, you indeed got a lot of coins, but the ceiling fell on your head. The wish came true, but not in the way the wisher wanted.

    Here he probably wished for the corrupt part of humanity to be cut out, instead the wishgranter destroyed everyone.

    It could well be just a symbolic showcase from the wishgranter that humanity is already on the path of self-destruction, but in the end, it's up to interpretation.

  • @Kagonic

    You never got one coin, that was a nut from the ceiling, the other coins were a part of the hallucination. The video switched between what the player was seeing and what was really happening, there were no coins.

    It sounds like you've never played the game.

  • @kidslovesatan

    I did. How do you explain power and immortality?

  • @Kagonic Besides the fact it kills you? Thats what the wish granter is designed to do, prevent people discovering the c-consciousness. Clearly it's power includes mind control and physical alteration.

    Destroying the entire human race just to prevent one man from discovering the c-consciousness is contradictory, as the c-consciousness was created to alter humans to be more peaceful.

  • @kidslovesatan

    I guess you're right.

    Immortality : Turned into a metal statue.

    Power: Absorbed into the wishgranter.

    Greed: Golden coins, but still just stuck with ze nut.

    Apocalypse: Humanity is already destroying itself.

    Make the zone disappear: Blinded.

  • @Kagonic added note: blinder - either directly controled by c-consciousness w/o you knowing as a hallucination

    or turned into a zombie like minion

  • 0:50

    Love that part.

  • wow he was just trying to help the world and look what happens... lol

  • The wish granter SUCKS

  • one day youll finish badly strelok............

  • In the original Strelok asks the monolith to destroy humanity instead of control it, which might clarify the ending.

  • I wouldn't say STALKER is particularly hard. If you've played some FPS games before you won't have any problem jumping into it at master difficulty. If you're also an obsessive quick saver such as myself you'll have no problem progressing the game, either. The game is still very atmospheric and open, a must play for a PC gamer. One thing I'd like to see more of is dialogue options since the RPG elements are sort of lacking.

  • Stalker... creepiest game ever and one of the hardest if you play it on hard. I seriously actually died about a foot from the wish granter several times. stupid radiation poisoning. Advice: save a shitload of radiation needles for the end.

  • A better translation would be "Humanity is corrupt, it must be contained and destroyed." rather than "It must be controlled"

    Either way, this game is the greatest fucking thing in the world.

  • this game is the best game ever made.. i love the atmosphere and the spooky voices around the game map.. i just love this game <333

  • @HugoReitveldz Thanks!! Thanks a bunch! =3

  • at first it was shit then i just had to play it a little harder and sudenly it becamed so awsome i couldnt stop playing

  • ui dont get it.. what happens in this one? XD

  • @staubfc What actually happens is that the whole humanity has been destroyed because of its corruption — hence the flashes of nuclear explosions — and nothing remains, so he's effectively floating into an endless empty void

  • i've just recently started this game and have gotten all the way to COP now ^_^ (which i've just beaten) and i've gotta say: the stalker series is 10X better than fallout3 in terms of gameplay and story! the graphics are pretty good, and the music is amazing, but fallout 3 sadly has it beat in graphics and open world... :(

    now if stalker gets bigger worlds, more music selection (or atleast longer) then it will definitily be the best damn game ever

    however: its still one of my favs ^_^

  • i dont understand this ending! STRELOK says humanity is corrupt mankind must be controled and then he gets vierd visions and stands in darknes. wierd. when i played STRELOK sayd make me rich and was buried under a pyleof scrap holding a bolt on the top.

  • @stalker2993 I think it's because the only way to keep humanity under control is to make it disappear, so the monolith sends Strelok into the void and announces the end of humanity with apocalyptic visions.

  • This is also the "Apocalypse" Ending

  • cool ending, but i got the money one first. But i then reloaded and did the real ending

  • This ending is extremal brutal in the sense of heavy, oppressive darkness hopelessly bringing all into nothingness.

  • @themanclaw2 well said, sad

  • its supposed to understand that the crystel will only lead people there punishment

  • They say when you make a wish they car have your word's twisted. Strelok shoulda said more to make it not happen.

  • Note that the game translated the original russian ending wrong, he really says: "Mankind is corrupt, it must be destroyed."

  • @MetalSlimeHunt I guess corrupt sounds.. cooler ;). Or maybe they thought saying it correctly would be too harsh :P

  • @MetalSlimeHunt In my german, limited edition, he says "Mankind is broken, it has lead to parish".

    What the fuck is up with all the translations?!

  • 0:53 is a fast motion replay of the first cutscene of SOC

  • shit u saw that. zombies kiled lots of people monsters every where and nulucer war every where now the earth is propbly now called by alens the zone lol XD

  • I guess the only way to control humanity is to destroy it, makes sense.

  • @Fearosius If you destroy humanity, it no longer exists. How can you control something which doesn't exist? I think the translator got it wrong.

  • @Tyskie01 I think it means that the Wish Granter controlled it's population by destroying civilization and therefore into war, and it died off anyway

  • I can't tell if your being serious. The only way to keep us under control.

  • all these endings are crap, just go to the secret door and use the decodifier n refuse to join c-counciossness then youll fight in chernobyl roofs and get the best ending..

  • What ending does CoP assume you got?

  • @Flyguyc12, I made it

  • I believe that's the "best" ending, or the one that took the most time to complete.

  • you can get one out of 7 endings i think

  • I didn't get this ending :/

  • he says mankind must be controlled- he may be seeing the result of an attempt to control mankind: war and conquest. In an attempt to control humanity, a nuclear war destroyed it. He floats in dakness because the world no longer exists.

  • ooooh.. Kinda creepy when you think about it :V

  • yeah, gotta have a real careful coice of words around that crystal.

  • actually, in the Russian version he says humanity must be destroyed, i dont know why the translators made it into controll though.

  • @kilbert666 Probably becuase that makes a better ironic joke... the ish granter is a dick

  • @kilbert666 thats censorship for ya. could have been misconstrued as suicide jihad mofo propaganda

  • @kilbert666

    Perhaps because the result is the same...

  • @kilbert666 I hate the damn translation. The disagreement between what is said and subtitles in the intro to CoP pretty much sums up my feelings about the after thought of translation.

  • @kilbert666 Probably censorship

  • @kilbert666 "population control"

  • @kilbert666 not the first time Russian>English and vice versa translation is complete bullshit (united nations>united Nancys)

  • @eivis13 sounds about right to me ;)

  • ... as Strelok sadly tired aproaches the wish granter.

    as how i am sadly tired of knowing that the way to end all the greed, misery and problems that humans do to everything around it with theyr good intentions, might be its own extintion.

    And i guess they translated it to (control) instead of destroy, cause its better to believe there is some way to fix (control) mankind.

    This ending is a sad reality.

  • Well, none of it actually happens, since the wish granter does not grant wishes, but rather twists the mind of the one who asks the wish (as seen with the rich ending)

  • For people wanting to know where is Strelok in CoP... Strelok is Shooter... In russia strelok means... Shooter, Gunslinger, Marked One, and Messiah... Marked One actually is funny because if you convert the words in marked one into numbers the last number you get is either 1986 or 86 the year of the explosion

  • i thought in cop they actually call him strelok, i wouldnt know though i dont have the game but from what my bud told me

  • Well when he narrarates at the end of the game the words come up Shooter but he says Strelok

  • strelok is in call of pripyat you can talk to him and such i have the game i buyed it from russia!

  • hey guys, im almost at the npp, but i dont have a radiation suit, just the duty armor you get fo helping them... am I a goner?

  • No the best suit to use is Seva Suit... or the military one EXO is only good for gunfire not for running/jumping or anomolies... But before u go to NPP u can pickup the Exoskeleton PNU-BZ from Fang's secret stash but u have to get coordinates :)

  • he survives. i mean in that good ending, he just rests in that field. how the hell does he die in there? and Cop is sequel, if you dont believe me, check out s.t.a.l.k.e.r web site. and sterlok is in that game so yeah....

  • just foeget it ive been playing stalker for 2 years know ui guess you know everything

  • @gronndar you dont play Strelok in CoP

  • actually I think Strelok IS in CoP. You just don't play as him.

  • yes you meet him near ending but i always had question how the hell did he get there?

  • He was in Pripyat the whole time away from monolith he shot down the Helecopters...

  • You play Degytarev

  • yeah, but he is still in the game?

  • @gronndar yeah he is aparently

  • Strelok or Shooter is in CoP but u dont c him until the ending... i think he was the one who shot down the Hele's idk i cant speak russian... u play Degytarev or w/e its called he is a undercover stalker orginally he is in the Military... he gets promo to Colonel or w/e u spell it

  • @pwnize Close, electro anomolies took down the helicopters, Strelok is there to warn them, the map the military used to chart out anomolies before taking off turns out to be useless, Strelok tells them that they change location after an emission, so that's why you all leave when the emission is over, the choppers know where to go and how to avoid it.

  • @pwnize I am pretty sure members of C-Consciousness aren't dead. He isn't dead when he falls on the grass, he's in Call of Pripyat and survives that one too.

  • Ok u know wjhat forget it then ive been playing stalker for 2 years know so Just foeget it i guess you know everything

  • No Strelok is CoP

  • you dont play him

  • ... All wishes you make end up you dying... When you play Pripyat... thats 1-2 mnths before Strelok loses his memory when u play Clear sky its 1 yr... It goes Clear Sky-Call of Pripyat-Shadow of Chernobyl... Chernobyl is based on afteraffects of 2006 and 1986 disasters... BUt what sucks is Burers in Call of pripyat THERE LIKE GODS...

  • wha? Call of Pripyat happens after Shadows of Chernobyl

  • It isnt... Ive played all 3, man there all sequels... remember strelok dies in ALL endings.... CoP he isnt dead... in CoP he gives all the stuff he got to scientist... Clear sky ending picks up on Chernobyl Beginning Remember the death truck?? if you played Chernobyl first then Cs then CoP its easy to follow the cutscenes

  • Clear Sky

    Shadow of Chernobyl

    Call of Pripyat

    thats the order. and there is 1 ending (well, techniclly 2) where sterloks doesent die! these wish endings are false endings. there are 2 canon endings, where sterlok either joins cc or he destroys it. in canon sterlok destroys cc and then Cop happens. so yeah, cop is sequel to Soc, not prequel

  • All the false endings to this game are fucked up.

  • when i finished the game, this ending appeared.all people say that the ""true" ending is the peaceful one, the good one....but it's the MOST difficult to get, I'd say it's almost impossible.. ;(

  • but "i made it" its the most rewarding ending. wish granter ednings are ironic and CC ending is depressing.

  • @005niko Lol almost impossible... I never even got a bad ending. I just found the door not the sarcophagus, just luck which one you bummp into.

  • it's not so simple.you need the documents in prypiat...so you looked at the game guides, didn't you?

  • @005niko no, that was a quest?

  • Basically He destroyed mankind. That's how iut was controlled, and he was left in nothingness with the memories of destroying everything.

  • Actually, no. The Wish Granter does not grant wishes, it subverts them. Strelok wishes the destruction of humanity, so instead, the Monolith leaves him in the dark and all alone. Nothing really happens, but Strelok gets his wish: to him, humanity is gone.

  • It might be like the blind ending, where the Zone 'dissapears' as Strelok cannot see it, he is simply put away from humanity?

  • That's exactly it. In the "blind"-ending, the Zone disappears - but only to Strelok, as he can no longer see it. Same goes for this ending, he is forever separated from humanity, so to him, it is gone.

  • in the russian version he says

    humanity is corrupt,mankind must be destroyed

  • @Z2recoil Yeah so it's the fact he is left alive that's the evil irony.

  • damn dude DAMN

    dats bad

    rly bad

  • @Z2recoil Alive with nothing because it all got blowed up

  • ya i know

    duuuuude

    hes like in nothinG!

    scary O.o

  • There is no word praising enough to describe the endings to this game.

    The anticlimactic ideas used to make the player look for more endings are just brilliant.

  • wtf happened to him?...lol

  • i think he is alone now, forever. a black empty eternity or so.

  • that monolith stone basiacilly destroyed his mind. nothing happens in real, only in his mind. so we could say that he became like one of those zombies or monolith soldiers

  • Anyone who say that this game sucks need go play Halo or HL2, they'll see the diference.

  • pls dont put Halo in the same rang with HL2. Stalker was a kickass game just as it was HL2

  • i dont get it?

  • Luckily he isnt epileptic XD

  • lol he became a wish granter xD

  • well there you go. if you still play S.T.A.L.K.E.R then you're not a moron,lol.

    i mean those players that are used to powershields and regenerating health,things like that,so they die once in S.T.A.L.K.E.R,never play it again and claim it;'s a rubbish game.

  • I agree with you. I mean, Stalker is the most realistic game i´ve ever played. i mean, if you get shot, you bleed., and you have to use a medipack from your inventory. And if you are dead, you are DEAD! No fucking around with this game! Its a Masterpiece

  • @TeamFortressHeavy 100% agree. I already know too much people who rather stick with their Halos and Modern Warfares. In S.T.A.L.K.E.R you need to get your ammunition,armor,weapons and food yourselves. Also you have to repair your armor and weapons. In S.T.A.L.K.E.R-games the game beats you :)

  • @TeamFortressHeavy

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a damn easy game and boring.

  • @TeamFortressHeavy I have oblivion lost with arsenal mod for stalker shadow of Chernobyl and the first time I got to the military complex (after the sewer) I had to save after every kill and go hide while my health came back. Once you get the hang of stalker it is an amazing game to play.

  • @TeamFortressHeavy I agree, Stalker is surprisingly hard and is unique in many ways which makes it one of the best fps games.

  • @TeamFortressHeavy yeah playing STALKER on easy is like playing all other games on hard.

  • @TeamFortressHeavy

    To rage quit a game forever is having no brain. How would a player learn, if he doesn't look two times behind his back, to check if whether an enemy is not sneaking behind him, like it can happen in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? And it's the only game I've seen this.

    My man, It's good to see people who still have reasonable thinkings about these kinds of thing.

  • there are a lot of books stalker maybe 13 or 14

  • this is one of the best games ever. and Clear Sky. the people who say it's shit are the ignorant morons who are used to bouncing around brightly coloured faggot-land halo,and these games are just too hard for them.

  • The thing that annosy me in stalker is the unlogical hit detection and damage system. Even at point blank range, its not one headshot kill. The bugs in the game piss me off aswell. But apart from that, stalker is a pretty good game indeed. But halo is more fun in my opinion. Stalker is the more realistic and annoying game, but halo is the more fun game. Try to be a bit neutral for once...

  • fuck you i like both games but i dont complain about other games! i like many games and if i dont like a game i dont criticise it!

  • @TeamFortressHeavy Ha its funny cuz its true ;3

  • @TeamFortressHeavy SoC is best, CS was a kindaa let down, CoP had the best of both, gameplay from SoC and gfx from CS xD

  • this is best of the false endings, maybe even better than the true endings

  • this is the coolest fucking ending ever

  • Agree 100%

  • finished this fucking game, now i can go to sleep

  • how do u get alternative endings , I got the one with the money wish but a t the end he dies like a pig

  • They need to make a movie out of this!

  • that's not always a good idea

  • i think there is a movie or a book i dont remember

  • There is both.

    The movie is a really old russian one, can't remember what is called,

    and theres a book too, but again, don't remember.

    I think "A Roadside Picnic" has something to do with it. Google it. I think you can download the PDF.

  • lol ok thanks

  • I'm pretty sure the movie is called Stalker like the game, just not an acronym. Used in the hunting terminology of course.

  • if you are bad and you go to menolit,you have that end,he see end of world

  • whats that blue crystal

  • menolit...
