S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

It's possible that there are multiple ways to get this, but I unlocked this while working on the "Eternal Shining" ending to get the Today Never Ends achievement. Make the following decisions towards the end of the game.

Subtle Matter (Burnt Forest):
In Orbita Station, after the "Get Into the Pod" objective, watch the cutscene and you will be confronted by Scar upon exiting the pod. When prompted, select the "I need more time" option, then leave the complex.

Dangerous Liaisons (Malachite):
Just follow the objectives until you get to the Troposphere Comm Station. I had the ward pass, so used that to enter, rather than sneaking in. Keep going until you get the objective to "Activate the Control Panel". During the following cutscene, select the "Escape" option.

Now play the game as normal, completing the assigned missions and objectives.

For me, I had the following missions:

• Escape From The Cage (Chemical Plant)
• The Boundary (Chornobyl Anomalous Zone)
• The Road to the Foundation (Chornobyl Anomalous Zone)
• Down Below (Prypiat)
• Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death (Generators)
• The Eternal Shining (Generators)

During Eternal Shining, you're forced into a fight with . This is an annoying battle with lots of Anomaly hazards, so be prepared. Defeat him to unlock the achievement.

If you continue down this thread, you can also unlock Today Never Ends.

Towards the end of the game, you'll reach the Subtle Matter main story mission in the Burnt Forest where you need to make key decisions to choose the ending of the game.

In order to unlock Legends Never Die, you need to ensure that you DO NOT aim for the Strelok ending, and get one of the other endings instead.

Basically, check the steps for unlocking She Will Never Be Free and make any choices which do not give that ending.

I unlocked it by using the following steps to get the "Today Never Ends" ending.

Subtle Matter (Burnt Forest):
In Orbita Station, after the "Get Into the Pod" objective, watch the cutscene and you will be confronted by Scar upon exiting the pod. When prompted, select the "I need more time" or "Eternal Spring" option (depending on who you aligned with earlier in the game), then leave the complex.

Dangerous Liaisons (Malachite):
Just follow the objectives until you get to the Troposphere Comm Station. I had the ward pass, so used that to enter, rather than sneaking in. Keep going until you get the objective to "Activate the Control Panel". During the following cutscene, select the "Escape" option.

Now play the game as normal, completing the assigned missions and objectives.

For me, I had the following missions:

• The Boundary (Chornobyl Anomalous Zone)
• The Road to the Foundation (Chornobyl Anomalous Zone)
• Down Below (Prypiat)
• Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death (Generators)
• The Eternal Shining (Generators)

During Eternal Shining, you're forced into a fight with . This is an annoying battle with lots of Anomaly hazards, so be prepared.

Before this battle, I recommend removing all of your artefacts. If you have any equipped then you'll spend the entire battle being chased by a homing electrical hazard. You can keep them in your inventory, just don't equip them.

Defeat him to unlock the achievement.

If you continue down this thread, you can also unlock Today Never Ends.

Towards the end of the game, you'll reach the Subtle Matter main story mission in the Burnt Forest where you need to make key decisions to choose the ending of the game.

There are four main endings to the game, each with an associated achievement:

• Brave New World
• Project Y
• She Will Never Be Free
• Today Never Ends

In order to unlock Legends Never Die, you need to avoid the She Will Never Be Free ending and take one of the other three paths.

• Brave New World
• Project Y
• Today Never Ends

If you are planning on unlocking all four endings, then no particular effort is needed, as this achievement will be unlocked by three of the four possible endings.
